Chapter Seventy-Five: Calculation

PS: Thank you for the monthly pass support of the book friend house fighter

"Ahem, what are you doing, are you going to raid the house?" Silver covered his nose with his hand to avoid the dust that had been kicked up by rummaging through things, "You shouldn't have touched my cupboard, dear Doris. ”

Apparently Ravenclaw had no idea of "embarrassed" in her head, and she continued to rummage through Silver's locker.

"Hey, Doris, what do you want to do, that's my treasure!" Silver sprang out to save a jar that had been thrown out by Ravenclaw. "This jar is a valuable antique, I bought it from Hagrid last month. ”

"What's so strange about the fairy bird food jar. Ravenclaw looked very human with disdain, and now her spirit was becoming more and more solid, and she looked like a real person. Silver always felt like she had lived a different life form.

"So what are you looking for? I don't have anything in my locker in this dorm room. ”

"As for the account of the Book of Darkness, I remember that you came to school with a note and the Book of Darkness. Ravenclaw pulled out another colorful magic book, and on the cover of this book was very **, "How to Increase Your Charm" by Richard Silver, which depicted a young witch with a veil covering her face and seducing her skirt.

"I can't see that you still read this kind of book. Ravenclaw exclaimed, "Don't you have a little girlfriend?"

"You're violating your privacy, ma'am. Rao was Silver who had lived two lives, and he was still embarrassed by the fact that he was caught red-handed, and he snatched the book, "This book was written by my great-grandfather, and I took it with me just to ...... In memory of the ancestors, yes, I am here to remember the ancestors, not for any other purpose. ”

"I don't have time to care about your dirty minds. Ravenclaw snorted, "Get that note out, I have some ideas to confirm." ”

"Okay, let me think about it, it looks like I've been used to pick up the legs, I'm going to have to look for it......"

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Patches of clear blue sky began to appear over the castle towers, but these signs of summer failed to lift Harry's mood. The Book of Darkness was lost, and as soon as he returned to his dormitory, he found that his suitcase had been turned into a mess, but the storage of the Book of Darkness was a secret that no one else knew, and Harry had to find it secretly by himself even if he wanted to retrieve it. And he wasn't able to speak to Slughorn alone and get him to hand over the memories that Richard had entrusted to him.

"Don't worry, Harry, you have a way, Slughorn likes you. Ron said, holding a copy of the Ministry of Magic's booklet, "Common Mistakes in Apparition and How to Avoid Them", which was due to be examined this afternoon, but the booklet largely failed to calm his nervous nerves.

"Don't say that, Ron, I don't like men. Harry said distraughtly.

Ron shrugged, "Hey, there's no one in Potions class this afternoon, so we're all going to take exams...... Find a way to soften Slughorn!"

"Do you think I'm that lucky?" said Harry, bitterly.

"Lucky," Ron said suddenly, "Harry, yesβ€”lucky!"

"What did you say?"

"Use a lucky potion!"

"Elixir? I don't know...... I'd like to keep it......"

"What are you keeping for?" asked Ron, puzzled.

"W-yes, of course," he came back to his senses, "yes...... All right. If I can't get Slughorn to speak this afternoon, I'll take some elixir and try again in the evening. ”

"That's it," Ron said, standing up, muttering, "Target...... Resolution...... Calm ......"

The castle bell rang, and Ron jumped up, looking scared.

"You're all right," Harry said as Ron walked to the foyer to meet the other students taking the apparition exam, "good luck!"

"You too!" Ron gave him a meaningful look as Harry headed for the basement classroom.

There were only four students in Potions class that afternoon: Harry, Ernie, Silver and Draco. Malfoy.

"None of you are of apparition age?" Slughorn asked amiably, "not yet seventeen?"

The four nodded.

"Well," said Slughorn cheerfully, "since there are so few of us, let's make something fun, and I want each of you to give me something interesting!"

"Sounds great, sir. Ernie rubbed his hands together flatteringly. Malfoy didn't smile a little.

"What do you mean, 'interesting' stuff?" he asked, irritatingly.

"Oh, give me a surprise. Slughorn replied lightly.

Looks like an opportunity to curry favor with Slughorn, Harry thought to himself, but the Book of Darkness is no longer in his possession, so how can he make a special potion to please Slughorn......?
