Chapter 726: Wolf Poison Elixir
Penelope pointed in the direction Harry had left, and she curled the corners of her mouth slightly sarcastically, "It seems that Harry thinks Lucius and Pansy have something wrong, and a couple of Gryffindors plan to use their 'excellent stealth skills' to track them......"
Allen, who had just communicated with Lucius using his heart, knew in his heart that nothing would really happen to these little lions, so he didn't ask any more, and after handing over the large and small commodity boxes he was holding in his arms to the fat man who came forward, he saw Penelope, and remembered the conversation with her before entering the store, and thought of the other party's very abnormal and vague words at that time, and asked with concern: "Is there any conflict between you and the doctor? Why can't I see you at the same time recently?"
The fat man who was holding a bunch of goods grinned out with a very sissy "poof" when he heard this, and the wolf mother glared at him, so that this guy had to hide his fat head behind these boxes.
Then the wolf mother stroked her hand to her forehead with a somewhat embarrassed expression, and kneaded her somewhat painful forehead a few times.
"Who are you?" Seeing the reaction of the fat man and the wolf mother, Alan became even more strange, and then he noticed that Victor had just quietly stood a little farther away, although he was now acting as a serious guard, vigilantly observing the surrounding situation, but Alan found that he had deliberately not looked at the situation here at all.
"She still has some research to do under the umbrella...... Hmm, I think...... Well...... It's just that I didn't have time with her......" Penelope said hesitantly, his eyes drifting, not daring to look at Alan.
Hermione also sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, she folded her arms in front of her chest, and secretly wondered: "Is it because Penelope thinks that the doctor is beautiful and is worried that Alan likes the doctor......? No, the doctor just doesn't work with Penelope at the same time...... Wait! The doctor doesn't like it, it's also a ......."
Thinking of this, Hermione, who looked at the strange expressions of the Umbrella members around her, suddenly realized, she stared at Penelo's uncomfortable look and the unnatural flush on her cheeks with wide eyes, and thought of a possibility.
In the face of Alan's concern, Penelope, who felt the strange atmosphere around her, had a bitter word, especially when Hermione was still present on such an occasion, she really couldn't tell what happened between herself and the doctor. Penelope's hands were intertwined with his fingers, and he wanted to get on his flying bike immediately.
Hermione looked at Penelope's appearance, and became more and more firm in her guess - if she was pestered by a wizard she didn't like, it would be very annoying for Penelope, and it would be even more distressing for Penelope to be liked and pestered by a witch who was also beautiful and powerful, and the doctor was a member of the umbrella team, and Penelo's cruel methods to others were not convenient for her....
Hermione had seen the distressed appearance of the wolf mother being harassed by the doctor, and some of the gloating Miss Know-it-all resisted the urge to cover her mouth, and turned her head, not wanting Penelope to see her forced smile, her identity was different from that of a fat man, if she was seen by the female Auror and mistakenly thought that she was laughing at her, Penelope's reaction would be more intense...
"Alan, I still have a few favorite items that I haven't paid for, and I'll have to wait for Ginny to come back and visit Diagon Alley with her, and see you in a few days. Hermione said and walked back to the Weasley Wizarding Joke Shop, giving Penelope a chance to explain everything to Eren privately.
Penelope watched Hermione walk into the joke shop with a smiling expression, and in a turn of her mind, she was annoyed to understand that Miss Know-It-all had guessed part of the truth, and then saw Allen's inquiring eyes, and the expressions of the wolf mother team next to her, she felt a little embarrassed and impatient, and blurted out: "It's all Umbridge." ”
This made Alan even more strange, "Isn't Umbridge locked up in the Western-style Mansion, and what does the matter between you and the doctor have to do with her?"
"Hmm...... The ......" Penelope hesitated to look Allen in the eye, licked his flamboyant red lips uneasily, and twisted his hair scattered on both sides of his cheeks behind his ears.
Alan was even more concerned about Penelope's unusual behavior, and he glanced at the other members of the umbrella again, and found that they were also at a loss at this time, realizing that something must be not quite right: "What happened to Umbridge with the doctor's eyes?"
"Alan, let's go back to the Western-style Pavilion first... I'll take you there. Penelope looked at Alan's slightly furrowed brow and serious expression, knowing that there was no way to hide it, and then she ordered the other members of the Umbrella Team, "You guys stay here and protect Granger." ”
Ellen and Penelope then quickly apparition themselves to a Gothic-style building, and after going through the more complex and rigorous defenses of the Western-style mansion than Gringotts, they completed the cumbersome security checks and entered the courtyard gate through the garden.
In front of the gate of the Western-style pavilion where two giants stood guard, a petite four-eyed man with short hair and glasses was already standing there waiting to greet his boss. As Eren and the others arrived to pass through those magical defenses, she was notified. In order to greet Eren as soon as possible, Four Eyes didn't have time to take off the experimental equipment on his body. Her white robe was covered with blood on the apron, some of which had even turned dark brown, the dragonskin gloves on her hands were still dripping with blood, and there was a nerf stuck to her wrist that she didn't know what it was.
"Young Master. After saluting Allen, he straightened up and waited for the boss's instructions.
"Take us to Umbridge and show me around the lab. Alan glanced at Penelope, who was silent, and then made a request like four eyes, and the group strode forward on the burgundy carpet.
Four Eyes led Eren through the vaulted colonnade and led them straight to the basement. The wood-coloured floors, enchanted with insect and moisture protection, are polished with wax and sparkling, and each pillar has a magic crystal lamp.
"The room on the left side is all set up as a living room, and Mr. Remus Lupin, along with his werewolf friends and wizards who have come to test new medicines on their own, occasionally need to stay here, young master, many experiments cannot be observed in a day. Four Eyes casually pushed open an uninhabited door, a small couch and wizard TV, a coffee table, a bed, and some greenery, giving the basement room a sense of life.
"The room on the right is the potions laboratory on the first floor, today is the full moon, and the people who come to participate in the experiment are related to werewolves, and many of these werewolves have also chosen to spend this difficult day here, but Mr. Lupin seems to have a lot of things to do during this time, so he didn't come, he just received this month's potion some time ago. Four Eyes stretched out his finger, and through the large transparent glass window, he could see that the staff in the laboratory was gently patting a werewolf on the shoulder, and this werewolf, who obviously had no desire to attack and had no tendency to lose control, drank a bottle of potion under his comfort.
"Wolf poison potion, this potion does not stop the werewolf from transforming once a month, but it can limit the process of his transformation, making him a sleepy ordinary wolf. The deepest fear of the werewolves who have maintained their kindness is the fear that they will go on a killing spree when they cannot control themselves. However, the preparation of wolf venom is very complex and the materials are very expensive. In the past, if the werewolf did not register with the werewolf registration office for a grant, or if he did not know a well-meaning potions master and confess to him that he was a werewolf, the werewolf would never have had a chance to try to use the potion, so he could only continue to live a lonely life - in fact, except for a few lucky ones, the poverty caused by the werewolf status and the price of the wolf poison potion made most werewolves have no chance to take the potion before. Four Eyes said as he pulled out a bottle from his pocket that was slightly different in color from the potion the werewolf had taken.
Alan recognized that it was a wolf poison potion made from an old-fashioned recipe, and he had configured this kind of thing for Lupin many times when he was in his third year, and Alan glanced at the situation in the laboratory again with some satisfaction, and said: " Your research progress is still good, I noticed that the wolf patient in it has completely changed into a werewolf and has not become an ordinary wolf, and he still maintains enough sanity and does not seem to have any uncontrollable desire to attack, but judging from the fact that he is still taking the medicine just now, this potion is not as effective as the original wolf poison potion?
Alan's insight and knowledge of potions clearly pleased the research-freak, and Four-Eyes, unlike his usual lack of emotion, added with some eagerness to the research topic: " Master, you're right, the experimental goal of this project is mainly to study and improve the formula of the original wolf poison potion, we have arranged the small danger test at this level, using the methods that have been preliminarily tested to determine the basic safety, there are already several more mature formula variants, compared with the original formula of the wolf venom potion, some of our newly developed wolf venom elixir, some of them are more free in taking the time, whether they are taken in advance or postponed, they can take effect normally, this is actually the most practical version for ordinary werewolves, you must know that the original wolf venom drug has been invalid if taken too early and waited for the full moonEither you forget to take it too late and the effect of the drug is not fully effective at the time of the full moon.
Although the version taken by the werewolf inside is not as good as the original recipe in terms of hindering the transformation, they will still transform into a full form of werewolf at the full moon, but this formula can allow the werewolves to maintain enough sanity and humanity without being consumed by those bloodthirsty and chaotic desire to attack, which can even allow them to retain a little bit of language ability, although due to the change in the structure of the mouth, only a few people can now say some words with short enough syllables in this state. ”
"Your research is pretty fruitful so far. Alan was still quite satisfied after hearing about the arrangement, "The version that allows the time to take more freely, if it is determined that there is really no big problem later, let Hermione and my aunt, Josephine Harris, the director of the Department of Magical Creatures Management and Control, contact and cooperate with the werewolf registration office she manages, and we don't want to make any money in this kind of thing, and it can be provided free of charge to those werewolves who want to return to normal life and have registered as a public good." ”
