Chapter 409: Hanging the Admiralty Upside Down
Under Slughorn's gaze, Darren said, "I didn't take your Potions class, but I heard about Harry, the Elixir, and there must still be one." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Elixir?" Slughorn repeated, "considering you didn't take potions class, it's not surprising to ask such a question, this kind of potion is very complicated to brew, and if you get it wrong, the consequences are unimaginable, so it's very rare. “
"Yes, I've looked it up from the books," Darren nodded, "but, like I said, that's for the others, and if it's you, it will work, so, I guess you have some on hand, and I think maybe we can give it a try." ”
"Oh......" Slughorn murmured.
"Of course, the process of making this potion must be very difficult and very expensive," Darren took a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it over, "You should be compensated adequately. “
Slughorn hesitated, but took it and looked at it, "This is?"
"Gringotts' check, I've signed it, I can go there to exchange it at any time, of course, you can leave it for identification. “
"No, I can tell it's Gringotts, but," Slughorn asked, pointing to the blank line on the check, "you forgot to fill in the numbers here." “
"I haven't forgotten," Darren shook his head, "I don't know much about the value of the Elixir, so let you judge for yourself, after all, you made it yourself." “
Listening to Darren's words, Slughorn's eyes widened, and it took a few seconds before he realized that he should say something, "Oh, this, this is," and looked down at the blank check again, "Let me think." “
"Alright, Professor," Darren nodded, "It's late, sorry for delaying your rest, it's time for us to leave, goodbye!"
Leaving Slughorn and walking down the empty aisle, Hermione, who had not spoken all along, seemed to have regained her ability to speak, "Why did you do that?" she asked.
Darren sighed, "What is the effect of the elixir?"
"It's also called a lucky potion, and when you take it, it will bring you good luck. “
"After the mystery man returns, do you think we'll be short of luck in the future?"
"......" Hermione didn't answer, silently following Darren and walking slowly.
For a long time, when I was about to arrive at the Gryffindor common room, "Why did you use a blank check?"
"I really don't know the price of the elixir, I can't buy this thing on the market, I've been looking for it for a long time. “
"So," Hermione hesitated, "what if, he fills in a big number?"
Darren smiled, "Monopoly, that's it, you should respect the other party's full pricing power, and besides, isn't it safer to have a potions master help make the elixir than to do it yourself?"
"Besides, there are only so many empty spaces on the check, how many can there be if they are all filled?"
Instead of filling out the check, Slughorn chose a set of numbers and wrote them with Darren's permission, and Harry wasn't the only student at Hogwarts who had a magic potion now.
"Be careful, if you overdose, it can lead to vertigo, recklessness, and dangerous hubris," Slughorn said seriously after handing the ampoule to Darren, "You know, too much good is also harmful...... If the dose is too large, it will be very toxic. However, if you take it cautiously and sparingly once in a while...... Will make your day perfect!"
"Thank you, Professor," Darren carefully put away the Elixir, "and if I have the time and the conditions, I wish I could have more." “
"I just said ......"
"I know, I promise it won't be abused! “
"Well, well, it takes a long time, and the amount that can be boiled at one time is not much, and the materials are not easy to collect, so I'll do my best......"
In mid-October, the first Hogsmeade Day of the school year arrived, and that morning a strong wind blew, and Darren stood in front of the window, looking at the wind-blown trees outside the castle, it must have been cold, but the application had already been submitted, and it seemed a pity to give up, and just as he was hesitating, suddenly there was a scream behind him!
Darren turned his head and saw Ron hanging headfirst in the air, as if an invisible hook had caught his foot and neck, hanging him upside down......
"I'm sorry!" Harry shouted, Seamus laughing, Neville had just fallen to the ground and was slowly getting up now, they were both awakened, "Wait! I'll put you down......"
As he spoke, Harry grabbed a copy of something and rummaged through it, Darren sighed, raised his wand, and pointed at Ron, who fell from the air to the bed and fell into a heap with a bright light.
"I'm sorry," Harry whispered again, putting down the book in his hand, and Seamus was still laughing out loud.
"I hope you'll be on the alarm clock tomorrow. Ron said in a muffled voice.
They had dressed and put on a few of Mrs. Weasley's sweaters, capes, scarves, and gloves, and Ron had recovered from the fright, thinking that Harry's new spell was very funny, and as soon as they sat down for breakfast, he couldn't wait to tell Hermione about it.
“…… Then there was another flash of light, and I fell back to bed!" Ron said with a grin, picking up his sausages for himself.
Hermione listened, without a hint of a smile on her face, and she turned to Harry with a cold face, "Harry, you decided to experiment with a strange handwritten spell to see what happens?"
"What about handwriting?" said Harry, deliberately avoiding the important and not answering the other questions.
"Because it's probably forbidden by the Ministry of Magic. "And," said Hermione," she added, seeing Harry and Ron roll their eyes, "because I'm starting to think that this guy called the Prince is a little unreliable." ”
Harry and Ron both shouted at her to stop.
"That's a joke!" Ron said, pouring a bottle of ketchup over his sausage, "just kidding, Hermione, no big deal!"
"Hook your neck and hang people upside down?" Hermione asked, "who would take the time and effort to make up a spell like this?"
"Fred and George," Ron said, shrugging his shoulders, "they love that stuff." And, uh-"
"My dad. Harry said.
"What?" said Ron and Hermione at the same time.
"My dad used that spell. Harry said, "I-Lupin told me." ”
