Chapter 567: Drinking (Asking for Subscriptions, Asking for Collections, Asking for Tickets)
"Do you think Harry is weird after drinking the pills?" Ron asked Ryan a little confused as Harry went out. "I've never seen Harry like this, and you're sure that bottle isn't some crazy potion or anything like that. ”
"This could be the after-effects of the Elixir, right?" Ryan said. "Professor Slughorn once said that after drinking the elixir, there is a feeling that everything is under control. Harry's attitude may have been influenced by the potion. However, once you drink too much of this drug, it will affect the brain. Now this feeling will turn into vertigo, recklessness, and dangerous hubris. ”
"Sounds terrible. Ron shrugged his shoulders and then looked at Ryan and Hermione. "So hopefully Harry will succeed this time - by the way, what are you going to do next?"
"We, we want to take a walk around the castle for a while, the last few months have been too busy and we haven't rested. So today we want to take a break. Ryan and Hermione looked at each other and said.
"Well, I wish you all a nice evening. I'm going to look for Lavender in the common room now. Ron stood up, then opened the door and walked out of the empty classroom.
"Now it's just the two of us. The corners of Hermione's mouth lifted up into a smile. "Today, whether it's the improvement of your strength or my passing the exam, it's something worth celebrating, so where do you think it's better for the two of us to go around in a while?"
"Let's go to the classroom where the book club is held. Ryan thought for a moment and said, "We can have a drink there and have a good chat, it's been so busy lately, I feel like we haven't been together for a long time and relaxed like normal people." ”
"After all, this is a time of war, and it will take a long time to achieve our goals. I think we probably won't need to be so busy when this war is over. Hermione stood up and pulled Ryan up, "Of course, it's a good thing to have a little rest in this situation, let's go upstairs now." ”
Soon the two of them came to the classroom, which was empty and empty. Ryan waved his wand to make the three desks side by side into one large table, and then placed two more stools on either side of the table.
He then continued to wave his wand and added a series of attached bits and pieces to the tables and chairs, such as cushions and tablecloths. At the same time, he opened the space pocket, and used magic to direct some gold and silver utensils to fly in line to the table and stop where they should be.
"Try these pastries, they come from Versailles. When everything was set up, Ryan pulled out a chair and asked Hermione to sit down, and he sat down on the chair at the other end of the table to introduce Hermione. "And it was the product of the Palace of Versailles at the height of Louis XIV. ”
"The dim sum is a little too sweet. Hermione complained as she took a single macaroon from a pastel plate on a silver shelf and took a bite, though she still ate the whole treat.
"No way, sugar was a luxury in those days. As an aristocratic style of dim sum, it is natural to put sugar desperately. Saying that, Ryan finished eating the small piece of cream cake in his hand in two bites, and sure enough, the sugar in it was still a little too much for modern people.
"It's okay, these snacks can be given to the children in the world of A Song of Ice and Fire as an after-dinner snack today. They loved the sweet treats, especially Daenerys and Lyanna, who would have consumed too much sugar if they hadn't been controlled by the temple grandmothers. ”
"You don't have to worry too much, they will soon reach the age of stinky beauty, and then they will naturally control their intake of various desserts. Hermione chuckled and said, and then Ryan and the others began to discuss the interesting things that happened in the various worlds, and the qi on the table slowly became harmonious, and a long-lost sense of relaxation permeated the hearts of the two of them.
Of course, at this time, the snacks on the table have been replaced by the craftsmanship of the elves in the world of "The Lord of the Rings", and even the bottles of wine on the table have become the elves' century-old fruit wine and mead. After all, there is still class tomorrow, and only this kind of non-drunk thing is suitable for them.
Just as the two of them were laughing at something interesting about the Fallout World, there was a sudden knock on the door of the empty classroom.
"It's not curfew yet, right?" Ryan said, looking up at his watch, "Could it be someone playing a prank? ”
"Anyway, let's see. Hermione stood up and opened the door, only to be surprised to find Professor Slughorn in a dark green velvet robe and a fancy tie. He was followed by Harry, who looked a little helpless.
"Ah, are you hiding here and secretly drinking?" said Slughorn after looking at the room, "It's okay, it's okay. I'm very interested in things like wine at your age, and I can understand the feelings of young people like you. So I'm not going to tell anyone about it. ”
Ryan could see that Slughorn seemed to be a little more excited than usual tonight, so he conjured up more chairs for Slughorn to sit down when Hermione conjured up. He lowered his voice and asked Harry, who was following him. "Didn't you go to his office with Professor Slughorn tonight? Why are you here with us now? And why does Professor make me feel different tonight?"
"That's right. Harry whispered, "I was just chatting with Professor Slughorn in his office, and I had some drinks along the way. As a result, he saw me wearing the bracelet you just lent me on my wrist and began to ask about it. A voice in my head prompted me to bring him to this classroom, and I told him that you made this bracelet. And then we came to this classroom together. As for the professor's different feeling, I think it may be because he usually doesn't drink bars during class. ”
The voice in his head?Does the Elixir have this effect?Ryan thought about the effect of the Elixir and sat down at the table with Harry, since it was the Elixir that led Harry over, then it meant that this was the place where Slughorn could pour out his heart. Ryan felt that all he had to do was cooperate with Harry next.
"By the way, when it comes to drinking, you must try these fine meads that I have brought. Slughorn said, taking a bottle of wine from his robe and opening it.
"I've checked and there's no poison. He assured the rest of the room, and as he divided the wine into everyone's glasses, "I let a house-elf taste every bottle of my wine after your poor friend Robert's accident. ”
Hermione frowned, she disagreed with Slughorn's choice to use house-elves despite having so many ways to test for toxicity as a Potions professor. It's just that she didn't say anything considering Harry's purpose today.
"Children, let's toast to a better tomorrow. When Slughorn finished drinking, he raised his glass and toasted.
"For tomorrow. Ryan and the others raised their glasses together, and everyone else took a big sip except for Harry, who pretended to take a sip. It's just that after the drink was in their mouths, both Ryan and Hermione secretly used their own methods to remove the alcohol from the drink.
"Well, Ryan, I saw a magical defense bracelet with Harry. He told me that you made the bracelet, is that true?" Slughorn, stimulated by alcohol, after a glass of wine, bluntly stated the purpose of his visit.
"Of course it's true, Professor. Ryan said in a tone of pride and pride, "This is the latest experimental version of those bracelets I consigned in the Weasley Joke Shop, and I want to sell this through the celebrity Harry." ”
"Oh, that's how it should be. Slughorn nodded, "I used to spend a lot of gold and now I bought a bracelet in the store, but this bracelet of yours is different from the one I sold before, and I didn't recognize it at once." ”
With that, Slughorn pulled his sleeve up, revealing a gold bracelet. Ryan recognized this as the top-of-the-line version of the defensive bracelet he had consigned in the store, and only eight had been sold so far. It seems that the professor is indeed insecure.
