The hallways were empty on Saturday mornings, and all the students were either eating in the cafeteria or catching up on sleep in their dorms. So Ryan and Hermione walked through the hallway with a guy who had taken an aphrodisiac without attracting anyone's attention.

Hermione walked ahead with the weaker Harry on her shoulder, while Ryan carried the tall Ron on one shoulder and the half box of chocolates under the armpit of the other. Before going out, Ryan and the others used magic to completely imprison Harry and the two of them, even sealing their mouths so that they could prevent them from making a fool of themselves on the road. Fortunately, Ryan and Hermione's physical strength is far better than that of their normal peers after improving their strength many times before, so they can walk fast even if they carry two males.

Originally, when you went out, Ryan was going to take them to Professor Slughorn, but because Harry was restrained, they couldn't move, and walking on their legs turned into dragging, which was really uncomfortable. So Hermione carried Harry in a fit of rage, and Ryan had to carry Ron forward in order to catch up with her.

They really chose to go to Professor Slughorn's place not to change the plot, but because he was the only option for Ryan right now.

Because at this time at Hogwarts, the only people who could handle this matter were Ryan himself, Slughorn, Madam Pomfrey and Snape. Snape was the first to rule it out, and it wasn't like he was dying, so there was no need to go to Snape to see that stinky face. And Ryan himself did not prepare the corresponding antidote and materials, so it was impossible to use alchemy for this. And it would be a shame to go to Madam Pomfrey for a check-up, not to mention the crowds in the school hospital, which would not be good for Harry once the news got out. Only Slughorn could guarantee that he would keep them a secret for Harry.

Ryan and the two of them didn't meet anyone else along the way, and they made it to the door of Slughorn's office. After placing Harry and them against the wall, Ryan stepped forward and knocked on the door. He was worried that the professor would go downstairs for breakfast at this time, but he knocked on the door and it opened.

Professor Raghorn was wearing a green velvet dressing gown and a nightcap of the same color, still sleepy-eyed, and probably slept in. This is also in line with his character.

"Ryan, and Hermione. He muttered, "It's too early...... I usually wake up late on Saturdays, so I don't know what you need to wake me up so early......"

"Professor, I'm really sorry to disturb you," Ryan said as softly as he could, "but my friends Ryan and Harry have taken the aphrodisiac by mistake, could you please give him some antidote?" Hermione and I wanted to take him to Madam Pomfrey, but you know that the aphrodisiac shouldn't be in our hands, so, you know...... It would be awkward to ask......"

"Harry!" Slughorn perked up when he heard Harry's name. He leaned out halfway and beckoned to the two men who seemed to be standing there against the wall. "Harry, and, um- Ronnie, come on in. ”

"I'm sorry, Professor. Hermione said at this time, "They were in a mess just now because of the aphrodisiac, and in order to prevent them from making a fool of themselves on the road, we had to use magic to restrain them and put them over." ”

"Oh, then bring them in, honestly, it's not easy for a girl like you to carry someone up. Slughorn stepped out of the door, and Hermione, who was carrying Harry into the office, blushed.

"I thought you'd have made an antidote for him, Ryan, and Hermione, you're not low at potions. Slughorn said as he watched Ryan and Hermione put Harry on the couch.

"I wanted to, too, but neither of us had enough raw materials. By the time we got the ingredients and made the potion, we guess it had already done something serious - after all, it was already very bad when we saw the two of them. Ryan explained, "If you use alchemy to save people, it's okay for me." If you give it to someone like me who is not familiar with the body, it will be too harmful to the body. I don't want to send them to the hospital for a few days. ”

"Ah, that's right!" Slughorn nodded, then looked at Harry with professional interest, "You know, the longer you leave this potion out, the stronger it gets. Do you know where the medicine they take comes from?"

"It should have been mixed into chocolate. Ryan took the half box of chocolates. "Looking at the packaging was probably one of the Christmas gifts Harry received. ”

"It's overdue. Slughorn picked up a piece of chocolate, sniffed it, and said solemnly. After saying that, he opened the dispensing bag and added a little bit of this and that to a small crystal bottle. Harry and Ron were half-lying on the couch, struggling with strange smirks on their faces. Luckily, Ryan's magic worked well, and Harry and the two of them couldn't break free.

"Yes, the potion they drank looked like an enhanced version. Aphrodisiac is also one of the few drugs that is more effective the more you put it. Professor Slughorn, who was dispensing the medicine, looked at Harry and explained to Ryan and them, and at this time he was happy to share his experience of making it to his proud students, "So increase the amount of sage essential oil when dispensing the potion in order to counteract the stronger effect of the aphrodisiactory—"

"Alright. Three minutes later, Slughorn pulled out a crystal bottle filled with a clear liquid, and poured the contents into each of the two crystal cups.

"Now how do I get them to drink this medicine?" Slughorn scratched his head a little as he looked at the two people who were bound by the cocoon on their backs, "You can try to lift the spell on them first." ”

"It's not that much trouble, Professor. Ryan waved his wand as Harry opened his mouth, Slughorn stepped forward and poured the potion into the mouths of both men.

The first time they drank the potion, Harry and Ron still had that confused smile on their faces, and then, slowly, slowly, their smiles faded into extreme fear.

"Got back to normal?" Hermione asked angrily after waving her wand to untie them. Because of these two guys, she and Ryan didn't even eat breakfast. Slughorn stood behind and laughed.

"What happened to us?" asked Harry, who was slumped on the couch after unrestrained. "I always felt like something was wrong with my brain just now. ”

"Aphrodisiac. Ryan replied as he walked over to Hermione.

"It's still potent. Professor Slughorn took the cups from both of them and added. "Harry, you as a celebrity should learn to protect yourself. ”

"It feels terrible. Harry sat there with a look of horror on his face, trying to remember what had happened to him. Ron, who was next to him, was as lost in thought as he was.

"Thankfully, no one should have seen your humiliation. Ryan reassured, "Hermione and I avoided everyone when we moved you two here again. ”

"No one should have spotted you two in the common room before, otherwise we wouldn't have had a single onlooker when we saw you. Hermione then analyzed, and I have to say that her analysis was right, how could there be no onlookers when she saw Harry and Ron wrestling on the floor in the character of a Gryffindor student?

"Thank you both, yes, and thank you, Professor. Ron said sincerely.

"You're welcome, kid, you're welcome. Slughorn said that Harry and Ron were sitting side by side on the couch, and Ron was muttering "It's good that Ravender didn't see it—"

"You need to drink something refreshing now. I've got butterbeer, wine, oak-aged mead here," Slughorn said as he walked over to a table full of drinks, "Ha, mead is the best way to fill the void when this false affection is gone, let's have a drink and celebrate Mr. Weasley's birthday." ”

As he spoke, Professor Slughorn took out a beautifully packaged bottle of oak mead from his desk, and he looked at the brown-red bottle, raising his head slightly, frowning his eyebrows, and remembering in confusion, but soon his whole expression relaxed.

"Come on," Slughorn pulled out a large pile of crystal cups and poured mead into them, before ordering everyone present, "Happy birthday, Ralph—"
