During the Christmas holidays, the Andersons won the lottery again, and they took the windfall to enjoy a French meal at an upscale restaurant.

Herb was accustomed to Albert spending the pounds of the British National Lottery on family dinners, which were not many anyway, and it was undoubtedly a pleasure to enjoy a meal in a fancy restaurant.

In order to cover up this matter, Herb and Daisy will spend a small amount of money to buy a few national lottery tickets every month, otherwise they will win the lottery every time, which is suspicious no matter how you look at it.

The day before school started, Albert went to King's Cross Station to catch the Hogwarts Express and return to school with the rest of the students.

In the carriage, Lee Jordan couldn't help but complain about Snape giving Albert a Christmas present.

The parchment in the package Snape had already seen Albert had seen, and it was indeed a recipe for a potion.

The jar of cockroaches in the package is also real, it is estimated that it is farmed, and it needs special treatment before use, and there are processed ones sold in pharmacies, and there are other potions, which are not precious, but all of them are raw materials that will be used in the formula of potions, and when put together and add several common medicinal materials, you can make a potion called nagging soup, and drinking it will make people talk nonsense uncontrollably.

Merlin's beard!

Whoever knew that the ingredients for the nagging soup were these things, no one would dare touch it.

To be honest, Albert was convinced of Snape's mastery of potions, and he could actually find such a potion recipe. It makes perfect sense for a Potions professor to give his protégé a potion-related Christmas present.

Was Albert Snape's protégé?

In a way, it is.

Moreover, the recipe for the nagging soup was improved by Snape himself, which was a more precious gift.

However, Albert reckoned that Snape's eight achievements were trying to surprise him.

After listening to Albert's analysis, Lee Jordan expressed disagreement with Snape's bad taste, and said very simply that if Albert dared to give him such a disgusting thing one day, the two sides would break off their relationship.

Especially after reading the recipe for the nagging soup on the parchment, Lee Jordan said that his weak heart had been severely hit and that he needed Albert's holiday homework to suppress the shock and prepare to copy it...... Take a cue.

Hogwarts professors always like to give them a lot of homework during the holidays, which is particularly annoying.

Lee Jordan desperately rushed to do his holiday homework yesterday, but still couldn't finish all his holiday homework, so he had to find an excuse to seek Albert's help.

After negotiations, Albert finally agreed to give Lee Jordan the paper on shrinkage potions.

No way, since the Yeti incident, Albert's three friends have had a harder and harder time, and Snape really can't trouble Albert, but occasionally trouble Fred, George, and Lee Jordan is still okay. Snape didn't even need to do anything out of his mind, as long as he had time to pay more attention to the three of them, it would be enough for them to be unlucky.

Lee Jordan would have been out of luck if he hadn't done his holiday homework, and Snape was now desperate for an excuse to get them in trouble.

"I'm willing to bet Fred and George aren't done yet. Lee Jordan, with Albert's help, began to brew his own paper on shrinkage potions.

In fact, Lee Jordan guessed right, the Weasley twins were mostly off their minds studying, and they were working on joke gadgets.

After the two returned to Hogwarts Castle on a horse-drawn carriage ride at night, Fred and George greeted them without warning, and offered to give them a few pieces of candy and a chance to see Albert's holiday homework.

"You can't have made anything strange again!"

Lee Jordan looked at the candy vigilantly, he didn't intend to touch it, he hadn't forgotten how he was cheated by these two guys.

"Candy made from the syrup of a heartworm makes you feel sad when you put it in your mouth. ”

Seeing that neither of them was going to try it, George directly unwrapped the candy and threw it in his mouth.

The effect of the sad candy was very good, and after a while, the smile on George's face disappeared, revealing a sentimental expression, and even began to sob, and soon the crying nose was up.

The astonishing change in George's face made Lee Jordan stunned, and he didn't expect that the effect of sad candy would be so good.

"We added a large dose of syrup produced by heartworms to it. George sadly explained to them that it was all a loss-making business.

"Perhaps, we can produce a small amount of sad candy, but never expect to produce it in large quantities, which will drain every Galleon in our pockets. ”

"It's a sad thing. Albert smiled and patted George on the shoulder, the candy had a much stronger effect than he expected.

"Well, that's about how it is. ”

Fred held back his laughter and handed George a candy, and when the latter finished eating, the sentimentality on his face was immediately replaced by a smile that looked a little silly.

"The antidote is almost there, but it can't completely eliminate the effect of the drug. ”

Fred pointed to the smirk on George's face and explained helplessly, "That's the after-effects of Elliott's leaves." Of course, it won't be long after, well, about ten seconds or so, for this faint sequelae to disappear completely. ”

"Good start!" Albert comforted the two of them for a few words, and then changed the topic of the small talk: "Did you open the package that didn't write the sender?"

Fred and George looked at each other and shook their heads in unison and said, "We think this kind of interesting thing should be kept for everyone to share, so we have left the unnamed package for the time being, and we will open it together when you return to school." ”

"Then open it now, I'm also a little curious about which guy sent me a Christmas gift anonymously. Albert muttered, "I don't think there's going to be anything good in there." ”

"We've tested it with the Honesty Detector, and there's no curse reaction, but ......," Fred hesitated, but reminded him, "I think it's best to be careful when opening a package." ”

No way, with Snape's case first, who knows what's in the package.

They took the package to the common room, and since no one wanted to open it, Albert had to use a spell to open the package from afar.

In front of everyone's eyes, a stream of yellow-green liquid suddenly sprayed out of it the moment the package was opened, like a grenade exploding, the liquid splashed everywhere, and a pungent smell of gasoline instantly filled the entire lounge.

"Luckily, it's far enough to almost get hit, it's insidious!" Fred cursed in a low voice, almost splashed by an unknown liquid.
