"By the way, who are the two girls over there? They don't look very happy. Because the topic was too serious, as he walked out into the courtyard after eating, Ron pointed to a pair of girls who came over and tried to divert the topic.

"They were Montgomery sisters, and their brother was bitten by a werewolf, supposedly because their mother refused to help the Death Eaters. Harry said with an ugly face. "Although I heard that their brother was saved by a wizard with great powers, he still became a werewolf. ”

"Oh, sorry. I don't really know anything about them. Ron apologized from the bottom of his heart, he had wanted to gag Harry to relax a bit, and he really didn't expect to hear such bad news.

"So Harry, you've got to get that memory. It's all about stopping the mystery man, isn't it? All these terrible things are happening now because of him......" Hermione said with a look a little gloomy.

"Don't be so frustrated, at least Andrew Jr. is doing well now. Ryan comforted Hermione with that phoenix mark. "When I went to treat the werewolves last weekend, Professor Lupin told me that the Montgomery family of three is doing well in Norway right now. Montgomery found a job that suited them, and Andrew Jr. made new friends. ”

"I know. Hermione nodded imperceptibly. "But it's a tragedy in itself, and we can't guarantee that everyone is as lucky as he is. So I hope Harry can find that memory so that he can defeat the mysterious man as soon as possible so that such a tragedy will not happen again. ”

"I'm sure things will get better, and I wish you all the best in the afternoon. Ryan said that the castle bell rang at this time, and Ryan and Hermione hugged her goodbye, and then watched her and a group of classmates leave the castle gates to take the illusion exam in Hogsmeade.

There were only four people in Potions class that afternoon, and the only ones left were Ernie and Draco Malfoy, except for Ryan and Harry.

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

Everyone nodded together, and Slughorn was excited. "It seems that your students are all on the older side, and when I was at Hogwarts, I used to have more people in my class than I do now in the first phantom shift exam every year. ”

Ryan could understand what was going on, because Voldemort had been completely wiped out in the same year they were born. In this case, everyone will naturally go out of the house where they have been hiding for a long time. It won't be like when Voldemort was raging, hiding at home and not having much to do, except for eating and sleeping, he can only make children. So it's normal for the wizarding world to have a low fertility rate during this time.

"Well," said Ryan, as he considered the details of the history of a dozen years ago. Slughorn clapped his hands and said happily, "Since the number of people is so small, 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 on his face, as if his father's imprisonment and Voldemort's assignment had put him under too much pressure. "What do you mean, 'interesting' stuff?" he asked, irritatingly.

"Oh, give me a surprise. Slughorn replied lightly. However, this sentence did not make Malfoy excited, and Ryan saw him open his "Advanced Potions Making" with a calm face, and he looked stupid. It is no more obvious that he thinks that this course is a waste of time. Sitting in an underground classroom is undoubtedly wasting time when you could go to the Room of Requirement.

Two days ago, Ryan just went to the Room of Requirement to check the progress of the repair of the Vanishing Cabinet, and by the way, he used the newly improved understanding of the rules of space to strengthen the trap he had placed on the Vanishing Cabinet before, so that the effect and concealment of the trap were improved at the same time.

He had been a little worried that Malfoy would find out what he had done in the Vanishing Locker. But after careful examination, he realized that he was thinking too much, and Malfoy's level of alchemy was much lower than he had imagined. Take, for example, the Vanishing Cabinet that Malfoy is now repairing. His repair of this alchemy artifact was very slow. Ryan felt that he had been repairing for more than half a semester, and if he replaced himself, it would only take two hours at most to repair it.

In addition to the slow progress, the level of restoration of the Vanishing Cabinet is not satisfactory. During the inspection, Ryan found that the entire item only repaired the core space transfer circle, and many of the attached magic runes were still damaged. In practice, it is now possible to teleport items between the two vanishing cabinets, but in the absence of those magic runes for positioning and protection, there is a high probability that the teleported items will be irreversibly damaged during the teleportation process.

Of course, it is not possible to carry out personnel transfer in such a situation. As a result, Malfoy now looked much thinner and more shrill-skinned than he had at the beginning of the semester, and his skin had become paler and even darker. There was no such arrogance as Harry had said on the train. Think about it, too, after spending a lot of energy, only to find that the Vanishing Cabinet is still unusable, and the task cannot be completed at all. Anyone would be what he is.

Ryan wasn't a virgin, so Malfoy's bad luck made Ryan feel good right now, plus Slughorn didn't specify the potion to be brewed this time. So he decided that he could take this opportunity to touch the fish and make whatever he wanted to pass the time.

"Ah, it looks wonderful. An hour and a half later, Slughorn walked up to Harry and clapped his hands at the sun-golden liquid in Harry's cauldron, "Elixir, isn't it? What does that smell like? hmm...... You added a little peppermint, wasn't it? not quite orthodox, but what a genius inspiration, Harry. Of course, this can counteract the occasional side effects such as singing too much and twisting your nose. I don't know where you got these ideas, my child...... Unless it's your mother's genes that show up in you!"

"Oh...... Maybe. Harry said, and then he said in a slightly flattering tone. "May I come and visit you tonight?"

"Of course kids, of course you can. The doors of my office are always willing to be open for geniuses like you. Chubby Slughorn looked very happy when he heard Harry's words, and his beard was curled up, looking like those chubby seals in the zoo. "We can have a little party in my office tonight. ”

Ryan had made a perfect potion of mental soothing potion in this lesson, and of course, it was certainly not as good in Slughorn's eyes as Harry's creative recipe that went beyond the textbook. But it was much better than Ernie, who had hastily invented his potion for trying to outperform Harry in class, only to have it condensed into a purple gnocchi at the bottom of the cauldron. Malfoy, like Ryan, fished the whole class, and only boiled out a decent pot of burp potion.

"Alright, the first step is done. The four of them walked out of the classroom quickly after the bell rang, and Harry said to Ryan in a low voice after seeing Ernie and Malfoy disappear from the intersection in front of him. "The next thing is to go to Professor Slughorn's office and improvise. ”

"Good luck tonight, then. Ryan took out the bottle of Elixir from his bosom and handed it to Harry, "This potion will work immediately if you drink it, so I recommend that you drink it before you leave to ensure that the potion has the best effect." ”

"Thank you and hope all the best tonight. Harry took the bottle, then smiled slightly nervously. "I've been preparing for so long, and it's up to me tonight to see if I succeed. ”
