So he was targeted by Opal, Lockhart, you go and rest in peace......

I wonder how Lockhart would have felt if he had known that the so-called prescription that Opal handed him was nothing more than the pox-removing potion materials she had copied from the library......

Therefore, if you offend anyone, don't offend the black belly, especially the black belly with a pure skin, embarrassing......

============================================

Gold

Knight (upright): Someone who can be trusted.

、

Hogwarts Forest Warden's Hut

、

[So you almost broke into the Slytherin cellar and brought me over, just to ......]

Even with Opal's good cultivation, at this moment, he has the idea of twitching the corners of his mouth and wanting to beat someone up, [...... To help you disguise your 'Rapid Growth' spell, would it be a good idea to leave a potion with a similar function so that you don't get into trouble with the Ministry of Magic again? ]

Taking 10,000 steps back, if you want to talk about relationships, Hagrid should also go to the "know-it-all" Miss Gryffindor who is familiar to him, instead of risking being spit venom by the Slytherin House snake, right?

Opal didn't think he knew Hagrid well enough to help with the jacking.

"That...... That ......"

Rubbing his hands a little embarrassed, Hagrid's unkempt hair seemed to be a little red and shiny, "Isn't this a hurry...... And、And these children also say that they haven't seen you for a long time.、So、That's ......"

[……]

Opal looked at Hagrid, who was acting like a child who had made a mistake, speechlessly, and finally said, "You can do what they want you to do, where are your principles?" The words were swallowed back into her stomach - because she suddenly remembered that she had encountered a situation where something was requested by a magical animal or fauna, and it was usually difficult to refuse.

[Forget it, I see.] ]

Rubbing his aching temples, Opal rolled his eyes and turned to the vegetable patch behind Hagrid, then couldn't help but frown, [Just cast 'Rapid Growth', right?] But what exactly is it that requires such a big pumpkin? ]

Just by glancing at it, you can see that the pumpkin here is the size of a statue pedestal.

"Ready for Halloween dinner...... If it goes well, it will grow even bigger by then. ”

Hagrid smiled as Opal waved his wand and sprinkled some nice new green dots on the pumpkins, "They're growing pretty well, aren't they?" ”

[I have to admit it, you take good care of them......]

Touching the pumpkin vine that had stretched out in front of her, Opal smiled and softened Hagrid's expression a little, [but pay attention to the amount of watering in the future, your original watering amount is about two-thirds.] They don't particularly like moisture. ]

I have to say that Hagrid actually has a pretty good ability to greet animals and plants, but probably because of IQ problems and different values, so he often does bad things with good intentions.

"W-That's it...... I made a note of it. Thank you so much! ”

He pulled out a notebook the size of his palm from his pocket, and Hagrid grabbed the other charcoal pens in the notebook between his fingers and began to write, while Opal glanced at the words on the notebook and immediately looked away from the black line on his head—the writing was too ugly to the eyes.

[And this, I made my own growth potion, which probably shortens the growth time of the plant.] ]

He took a small potion vial from the pouch on his waist and placed it in Hagrid's hand, Opal admonished, [But I've only tested this thing on plants so far, so don't use it anywhere else, you know?] ]

"This ...... This one definitely won't! ”

Hagrid, who had been scrambling to catch the potion bottle that Opal had put over, was happy there, but after hearing Opal's advice, he showed an embarrassed look and his eyes fluttered - no need to ask Opal to be sure that Hagrid must have moved the idea of feeding this potion to something else in an instant.

Because it's so easy to guess the thinking of this half-giant.

[…… Let's hope for it......]

In the end, Opal could only say this, but after saying that, her ears moved slightly, and she looked out of the room a little strangely - honestly, she didn't think that the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, who was currently being controversial throughout Hogwarts, would have any special intersection with Hagrid.

You know, in the first week of Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Lockhart, who was secretly marked by Opal as "disgusted with the curse", almost died under siege by the Irish leprechaun (Irish.Leprechaun), although he himself insisted that it was because "even mischievous goblins have a right to live, and I can't just take their lives away for my own safety."

Now, at least in Slytherin, there is no one to be found in his admirers - I heard that the same is true of Ravenclawry.

Unexpectedly, less than a week after he was injured and survived, this guy came out and jumped around again. Sure enough, sometimes the medical effect is too good, and it will cause a lot of unnecessary troubles - next time, should you advise Madam Pomfrey to control the effect of the medicine a little?

Just as Opal was seriously pondering the above information, Lockhart's voice could already be heard outside Hagrid's hut over there.

"Hagrid, my faithful half-giant friend, surprised me to visit you again, right?"

And with this sound is a banging knock on the door.

"Oh shit!"

Hagrid tried to suppress his voice, pretending not to react, so that Opal could look sideways, and then he admired someone outside the door - that Mr. Lockhart was too capable to make Hagrid, who was known to be a good talker, show such an attitude, right?

[What's wrong?] ]

Looking at Hagrid, who seemed to be walking around the room and didn't want to open the door, Opal was a little helpless.

"Oh! That's just a boring guy. ”

Hagrid seemed to be struggling to control his voice, "He actually said that the water ghost in the well behind my house was trying to harm me, and wanted to show me how to expel the water ghost from the well. ”

[……]

For a moment, Opal felt as if he were resonating with Hagrid—how strange would it be to say something like banishing Hogwarts' water spirits from the well?

"Can you pretend I'm not there?"

Hagrid's next words made Opal's head pull a row of black lines.

It's really not what she wants to say, with the volume of Hagrid's voice, even if she wants to pretend to be absent, she can't deceive anyone, right?

[Doesn't Hagrid want to see Mr. Lockhart?] ]

With that, Opal turned and walked towards the door, [in that case, I'll see if I can let him go.] ]

"Is it possible?"

However, it is clear that Hagrid did not expect much from Opal's statement.

[How do you know without trying?] ]

Shrugging his shoulders, Opal opened the door and walked out, then nodded at Lockhart, who seemed a little surprised, [Good afternoon, Professor Lockhart, I didn't expect to meet you here. ]

"Hey, you're ......"

After a slight pause, Lockhart, who was wearing a light purple robe today, immediately brushed his forehead hair and put on a handsome pose, "It's my admirer, I didn't expect you to think of waiting for me in such a remote place." I'm sorry I didn't bring a pen with me today and can't sign for you. But if you want, can you leave your room number? In the evening, I'll have someone send it to you after I've signed it. ”

He can speak such a long string of words without breathing, and he is not afraid that he will bite his tongue or suffocate?

Although he was embarrassed in his heart, the corners of Opal's eyebrows were not out of shape at the moment, and they were still slightly curved and soft: [It would be great if that's the case, Professor Lockhart, in fact, we have a group of admirers in our academy who have a lot of questions for you.] ]

"Is that so?"

Lockhart's voice visibly hesitated, and then looked at Hagrid's cabin, "There are some important things, but I will never refuse the requests of my admirers. If you don't mind, can you wait here for a while? ”

[Naturally, it can, in fact, it can be said here.] ]

Gently hooking the corners of his lower lip, Opal half-raised his face with a look of adoration, [In fact, after reading Professor Lockhart's "Wandering with Werewolves" and "A Year with the Tibetan Snowman", I have always admired Professor Lockhart's attainments in potions, if you can, can you help me analyze the shortcomings in this potions prescription?] ]

As he spoke, Opal took out a note from his pocket with various potions materials on it and handed it to Lockhart.

"Huh?! Yes...... Uh, okay. ”

Obviously, Lockhart, who had never experienced this kind of battle, took the prescription from Opal's hand with a slight stiffness, "This is about ......"

[Ah, this is a modified version of the recipe for the "wolf poison potion" that I tried to deduce based on Professor Lockhart's account in "Wandering with Werewolves", and I'm sure Professor Lockhart you will be able to see if my prescription is feasible, right?] ]

Looking at Lockhart, who was already sweating profusely at the back of his head at the moment, Opal's tone was full of anticipation, [If not, can you tell me where I need to improve?] ]

"Aha...... If it's just this level of potions, wouldn't it be nice to ask your Potions professor? ”

After a slight stiff glance at the note, Lockhart simply shoved the note back into Opal's hand, "Actually, I also communicated with your Potions professor, including the prescription you are interested in, although I would like to give you an answer here, but I have other things to deal with." But in the evening, I can write you a note, and you can take it to your Potions professor, and I'm sure you'll get a satisfactory answer. ”

Or kick the ball without leaking......

[Thank you so much.] ]

With sparkling eyes on Lockhart, Opal seemed to want to hand him the note in his hand again, [but now can I see if my guess of the ingredients of the potion is correct?] ]

"Ahem...... Ahem......"

Lockhart, who was already sweating profusely at the moment, suddenly half-clenched his fist to his lips and coughed, and then said to Opal while coughing, "Although I would like to answer...... Ahem, your question, but ...... cough, cough cough...... Excuse me...... I'm a little unwell and want to go to the medical wing. ”

[Is Professor Lockhart alright?] ]

"I didn't ...... Ahem...... It's okay......"

[It's not the last injury you received yet, right?] I'm sorry to be pulling you to talk here...... Otherwise, next time, can it? ]

"That's for the best. Ahem...... So that's it, I'll go first. ”

Lockhart, who was almost instantaneous, coughed again, then turned around and left at a fairly fast pace, while Opal looked at someone's back with his hands on the veranda and raised an eyebrow - didn't you expect this guy to be quite fast? It's not like you're forced to work out because you have to escape from the fans, right?

But he didn't even ask his name, it seems that this Lockhart is still quite easy to handle, which can be shared with other students in Slytherin House, and maybe he can get unexpected extra points from it.

Thinking so, Opal put away the sticky notes in his hand, then turned his head to look at the other side: [Shall I say good afternoon?] ]

"Opal, why are you here?"

Obviously surprised to see Opal here at Hagrid's Cabin, Harry pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose, "The one from the side...... Is it Professor Lockhart? ”

[Well, it's just that I just ran into some questions that I want to ask.] ]

Judging from Harry's words, they must have just arrived for a while, and they hadn't heard the whole thing clearly, so Opal just smiled and turned his face to the side of the hut and shouted, "Hagrid, come out, the person you most want to see is here.] ]

"Is that guy gone?"

With a loud grunt, Hagrid walked out of the cabin, his originally somewhat gloomy expression immediately after seeing Harry, "It's Harry, I've been wondering why he hasn't come to see me for so long!" ”

[In that case, then I won't bother you.] ]

Nodding to Hermione, who was wandering her gaze to her pocket for a sticky note, Opal's gaze fell on Ron, who was being held by her, but was burping a slug, and frowned, "What's wrong with him?" This state of affairs...... Does magic fight back? Why don't you go to the Medical Wing to find Madam Pomfrey? ]

"Opal, do you know this condition of Ron?"

Harry, who had already greeted Hagrid over there, turned his head when he heard this, "That's why I came here because I didn't want to go to the medical wing." Opal has a solution......"

"I don't want to rely on the Slytherin people to solve the problem!"

Almost as soon as Harry spoke, Ron was already screaming - and was kicked hard by Hermione beside him.

[Well, count me nosy.] ]

Since others didn't appreciate it, Opal didn't bother to say anything more. So he just shrugged his shoulders and nodded goodbye to Hagrid, who was about to beckon Harry into the house, before turning around and walking towards the castle at Hogwarts.

"Opal."

It wasn't long before Opal heard Harry's voice behind him.

[Something?] ]

Stopping, Opal tilted his head to look at Harry, who was running a little out of breath, waiting for his next step.

"I'm sorry, Ron, he didn't mean anything malicious."

Scratching at his messy hair, Harry apologized to Opal seriously, "It's just that he became like this because of Draco's relationship, so he has some ...... for you, who are also Slytherins Not very polite ......"

[Ron's attitude towards me isn't a day or two, you don't have to explain it to him.] ]

Shaking his head with a smile to stop Harry's words, Opal took out a small potion bottle from the potion bag on his waist and threw it to Harry, [This is my own recovery potion, it should help that guy.] However, because the medicine may not be appropriate, it will probably take effect for a day...... Actually, I personally recommend going to Madam Pomfrey. ]

"Thank you. I'm really bothering you. ”

Taking the flask from Opal, Harry half-bent down to express his gratitude, and the seriousness made Opal's face a little hot: [There's nothing to thank you for.] After all, I'm also a Slytherin student, so I'm not afraid that I'll do anything with medicine? Believe me so much. ]

"Because Opal is Opal."

Scratching his somewhat messy hair again, Harry's emerald eyes curled behind his lenses, and the whole person had a warm smile, "It's not a matter of once or twice for Opal to help us, I believe in you Opal." ”

It's really a typical Gryffindor way of thinking......

But this feeling of being trusted is not bad. It's just that Harry's character will probably suffer in the future...... Forget it, it has nothing to do with her anyway.

[Tsk, if you continue like this, you will suffer sooner or later.] ]

Tilting his head, Opal waved his hand and turned around, [I'll give you the bottle.] I went back. ]

Anyway, the bottle of potion is also effective, but the taste is too weird, and the sequelae is probably a few days without a good appetite, which can be regarded as making that Ron have a longer memory.

At least she didn't use the twins' prank potions, did she?

"Goodbye then!"

Standing still and watching Opal's back leave, Harry looked down at the flask in his hand, smiled, and turned towards Hagrid's cabin.

The next headache for him was how to find an excuse for Ron to drink the potion.
