Chapter 188: Lucky Potion
In the hall of the auditorium, the twins who scuffled and frolicked together caused many people to laugh happily.
Albert just glanced up at them, quietly moved to the empty seat next to him, pretended not to know the two teases in front of him, flipped the notebook in his hand, and felt the benefits of adding a little more to his potions mastery.
Lee Jordan glanced at the twins, who were still playing, sat down next to Albert, and asked, "What were you thinking about just now?"
"I returned the gold card, not knowing what Hertock would give me. Albert flipped through his notebook and said casually, "A little bit of an expectation." ”
"I thought you didn't care about the other party's thank you. Lee Jordan was very surprised to hear Albert mention this, in his impression, would Albert be thanked by others?
Apparently not!
So......
Lee Jordan suddenly came back to his senses, this guy is changing the subject!
Just then, a long-eared owl flew in this direction and threw a small package into Albert's arms.
Albert smiled and said, "Look, here it is." ”
Lee Jordan: "......"
Albert was still talking about the thank you gift just now, but he didn't expect an owl to send the thank you gift in a blink of an eye.
"What's coming?" Angelina sat down, just in time to hear Albert say something was coming, so she asked casually.
"Thank you. Albert shook the package in his hand, he naturally knew what was in it, but he still opened the package on the spot, and there was a folded parchment inside, and a glass medicine bottle, and the bottle was a golden liquid.
"What is this?"
Seeing the golden liquid in the glass medicine bottle, Li Jordan's eyes couldn't help but widen, he had never seen a potion of this color.
"It's supposed to be a magic elixir. Albert said without hesitation: "The so-called lucky potion, there are about two spoonfuls in it, and the effect of the medicine should last all day." ”
"Elixir?"
The twins, who had been scuffling together, also stopped frolicking and came over to see the legendary potion of luck with their own eyes.
"What is the Elixir?" asked Angelina, looking suspiciously at the glass vial containing the golden liquid.
"This is the legendary potion of luck?" Fred took the elixir from Lee Jordan's hand, looked at it carefully, and made a drinking gesture, "I want to take a sip and give it a try." ”
"Who gave it to you. George couldn't help but ask.
"Hertok. I sent it back to him as a thank you gift. Albert explained simply.
"It's enviable, you're lucky enough, and you're going to explode when you drink this potion!" George took the bottle from Fred, looked at it, and returned it to Albert, who took the potion and stuffed it straight into his pocket.
"Elixir does not bring true luck. It can greatly improve the various abilities of the drinker, so that his mind is active and he can do things smoothly. Albert explained, reading the letter, "In a way, it was lucky. It's a pity that this thing is poisonous when you drink too much. ”
"Drink too much, you still want to drink too much!"
Several people couldn't help but stare at Albert, feeling that this guy's heart was too big, and he actually wanted to drink too much?
Your luck is obviously good enough, and it is a very lucky thing to be able to receive this bottle of elixir as a thank you gift.
As a result, this guy actually wants to drink the elixir often?
"It's just a vial!" Angelina reminded.
"There's no need to drink it all at once, a small sip can last for two or three hours. Moreover, I will make it myself in the future. "When I'm done, you'll have a chance to try it." ”
"You won't just be poisoned. Lee Jordan choked his neck and made a poisonous appearance, "Didn't you say that the elixir is difficult to boil, and if you don't get it right, it will become highly poisonous." ”
"Believe me. Albert laughs and says, "Life would be better if you could drink a little bit every six months." ”
"That's good. George muttered, "Still, I thought you would say sell it for money." ”
"Come on, don't think about Garon. Albert stood up, ready to put the elixir back in the dormitory, and carry it with him, if he accidentally broke it, or lost it, he would probably faint in the toilet from crying.
"By the way, you say, can you find it with the help of the elixir...... A secret treasure hidden in the Forbidden Forest. Fred was in the hallway where no one was around, whispering about the incident a few months ago.
"Why haven't you given up on this?" Albert frowned, glared sideways at Fred, and warned, "Have you forgotten that you almost got into the belly of the eight-eyed spider?"
"Last time, we weren't so lucky. This time, though, you have the elixir of blessings, in case of adequate preparation. George also had a thought, "Also, as long as we can learn the spell to deal with spiders, the three of us ......."
"You three, bastards, you're going to leave me out. Lee Jordan shook his fist in displeasure, angry enough to punch someone, "And didn't you say that the treasure map was thrown by Albert in the Forbidden Forest?
"You can believe Albert's words, even if he really had to throw the treasure map into the Forbidden Forest, there must be a way to get it back. Fred looked at Lee Jordan with a dumb look.
"What kind of eyes are you? Lee Jordan dissatisfied.
Look at the stupid eyes. Fred said honestly.
"Well, I've been in the same dormitory with Albert for a semester, and you don't know his character?" George mended as he mended.
What Albert said may be true, but it is unknown how much truth there can be.
Because, what he is best at is creating so-called facts.
"No, I want to live a few more years, but I don't want to venture into the woods again, what if I am dragged away and eaten by the Eight-Eyed Spider?" Albert shook his head and refused.
"It's good if you don't catch them and sell them for money. "Fred has a look like you're teasing me right now.
"Is the treasure map really still in your possession?" asked Lee Jordan suddenly.
"I said I threw it in the forest. Albert said.
"You've got it back. Fred pouted, "Just use the Flying Charm." ”
"I won't. Albert spread his hands and said he wouldn't. In fact, he really wouldn't have flown the curse.
"You won't?" the three of them looked at each other, but no one believed his nonsense.
As a few people passed around the corner, they stopped talking about the subject, and someone around the corner was coming this way, it was Professor Smith.
When Smith saw Albert, he said, "Anderson, I happened to have something to look for you. ”
"Is there anything going on, Professor Smith?" Albert asked.
"The research on Boggart, it has already borne fruit. There was a hint of excitement in Smith's tone, "Come with me, I'll show you the picture, it's a major discovery, why hasn't anyone thought of using this method to explore Boggart's form before?"
"I'll see you later. Albert said to his roommate.
The three of them looked at each other, looking at the backs of Albert and Professor Smith leaving, and the topic became the Boggart research that Professor Smith had just talked about, guessing what the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor had discovered.
Albert followed Professor Smith and asked curiously, "Did you photograph the Borgert entity?"
"Yes, I did. Smith reached open the wooden door and invited Albert into his office.
"I photographed the Boggart itself on camera, a swirling mist, and the Boggart itself was not really physical. ”
Professor Smith pulled out a few photographs from a drawer, and the contents of the photographs were a swirling mass, somewhat like a mist. He opened his mouth and announced: "I am going to publish this momentous discovery in the journal Incredible. ”
"Congratulations, Professor Smith. Albert said with a smile.
"No, no, congratulations, Anderson, you have a part of it. Professor Smith laughed and said, "This is the way you came up with it, and I wouldn't have been able to discover this secret without you." So, I'm going to put your name on it as well. ”
"No need professor, this is your work. Albert shook his head and refused: "If you feel that you have taken advantage of me, you can teach me some useful spells, or alchemy." ”
"This ......" Smith nodded with a strange look on his face and said, "Your alchemy level can only be regarded as average, but I can give you a little help in this regard." ”
"That's great. "It's a shame that alchemy isn't taught at Hogwarts. ”
"This discipline requires a relatively high starting point. Smith explained, "There aren't many people in England who value alchemy, and the books on alchemy in the Hogwarts library aren't very useful, so you usually have to wait until you graduate and then study it yourself." ”
He suddenly said, "I still plan to fill in your name, it's not a good idea to monopolize other people's work." ”
Albert was surprised, but no longer rejected Professor Smith's decision.
"By the way, I just heard that you want to go to the Forbidden Son, and what other secret treasures?" Professor Smith suddenly frowned, warned, "This is not a good idea, the Forbidden Forest is very dangerous, and don't be fooled by some treasure map." ”
"Well, I know. Albert nodded.
"What are the Weasleys saying?" asked Professor Smith, suspicious.
"Last semester, Fred and George were fooled into the woods with a treasure map, and I'm going to discourage them from falling for it. Albert said briefly.
"That's good. Smith nodded, "Although the periphery of the Forbidden Forest is not dangerous, the depths are very dangerous, don't be stupid to take risks, no matter how many lives you have, it is not enough to lose it." ”
"You know, then I'll go first. Albert greeted Professor Smith, and as he was about to leave, he suddenly turned his head and asked, "Can you give me this picture?"
"Absolutely. Professor Smith didn't refuse, and there were several more of them on the table.
Albert slipped the picture into the pocket of his robe and turned to leave the office.
"Secret treasure?" Smith looked at Albert's departing back, his eyes glinting strangely.
......
Albert had just taken a few steps out of the office when he saw a boy walking towards him, and he glanced at him.
Then, walk up to the Defence Against the Dark Arts office and raise your hand to knock on the wooden door.
"That guy seems to be ...... Smith?" Albert retracted his gaze and muttered, "Do you really know?"
However, it's not surprising that Britain is so big, and the wizards named Smith are probably relatives.
When Albert returned to the common room, he did not find the three Freds. He put the elixir in a wooden box, then put the box in his drawer, and also used the anti-Alajo Cave opening spell on it to make sure that no one could open the drawer.
At least, most students can't.
In the drawer were some personal notes, his camera, a previously made protective bracelet, and ...... Treasure map of secret treasures.
Into the Forbidden Forest?
Albert did have this kind of thought, and now that he has the elixir of blessing, he is a little more sure of success.
It's just that he didn't plan to go now, that would be too risky, and he had to wait until he became stronger, so strong that his life was not in danger.
The thrilling adventure is fun, but it's undoubtedly more important.
Just as Albert was about to put the map back in the drawer, the door suddenly opened, and the three of them walked in with a smile, just in time to see Albert holding the map.
"Look, I'll tell you, the map must still be in Albert's possession. Fred had a look I knew he would.
Albert calmly put the map back in the drawer, and cast a spell on it, shrugged his shoulders and said to a few people, "Don't venture deep into the Forbidden Forest until you're ready, and I'll go with you when I'm ready." ”
The three of them couldn't help but look at each other, and then couldn't help but laugh.
"Look, I'll just say that Albert is also adventurous. George patted Albert on the shoulder and said, "When are you going to teach us the spell to deal with spiders?"
"If you want to safely enter and exit the Forbidden Forest in search of treasure, the Optical Spider Retreat Charm will not do. Albert shook his head, "Even if you learn that spell, sooner or later you'll be eaten by spiders." ”
"Why?" said Lee Jordan.
"Because the most powerful thing about the eight-eyed giant spider is the sneak attack. Fred explained, "In the forest, once you succeed in the eight-eyed spider's attack, it's really over. ”
"Then why are you still alive?" said Lee Jordan angrily.
"Last time, the big spiders weren't trying to kill us all at once. "Not necessarily this time, though. ”
As he spoke, he pointed at Albert and said, "Last time, when Albert rescued us, he knocked down a large group of eight-eyed giant spiders, and I think those big spiders will definitely hold a grudge." ”
"Hold a grudge?"
"I've looked up the information about the eight-eyed spiders, and they can speak and have intelligence. Fred explained, "The next time we meet, we expect to be ...... Kill us directly. ”
"It seems that you don't want to go into the woods to die as soon as your brains are hot. Albert was satisfied, and if Fred and George just didn't want to venture into the Forbidden Forest, then he would have to think about it.
