The October sky was overcast with faint signs of rain, and the bad weather didn't dampen everyone's good mood and didn't stop the students from heading to Hogsmeade.

No student would refuse to go back to school for a Halloween feast after a day of Hogsmeade fun, Jean

This great feast was made even more wonderful.

On the way to Hogsmeade, Albert and Isobel chatted about the wolf poison potion, but they didn't find the road boring.

Suddenly a group of Ravenclaw girls walked by, it was Katrina and her female companions. The girls giggled in this direction, and spoke in a low voice, as if they were talking about Albert and Isobel, and even a few of the girls kept looking back at Albert and Isobel.

However, the two of them didn't pay much attention to it, ignoring the girls' scrutiny, and continued to talk about the topic until they entered Hogsmeade Village.

"Let's go to Duke Honey's candy shop first!" Alberta took Isobel's hand and walked into the candy-scented candy store, which was packed with students.

In the corner of the candy store, Albert saw several people sucking on a scoop of ice cream, allowing their feet to float a few inches off the ground.

"We've gone over and given it a try. ”

As the two of them walked around the corner, they happened to meet Katrina and her female companions, one of whom actually ran over to greet Isobel warmly while he was picking out candy.

"You're so popular. The girl whispered.

"It's not good to be too famous. Albert sighed faintly, walked over to a marshmallow machine, and fiddled with the marshmallows, "Have you ever eaten this?"

"What are you doing?" asked Isobel, noticing that Albert was shaping the marshmallows, a little curious.

In a few moments, a flower made of marshmallows quickly took shape, and Albert gave it to Isobel next to him.

"Muggle tricks. ”

"I'm a little reluctant to eat. Isobel looked at the flower made of marshmallows and whispered.

At this moment, several girls came over to talk to Albert, hoping that Albert would help them get the same flower.

"Sorry, we have something to do, we're leaving. ”

Albert politely refused, and took the pile of candy he had just purchased to the counter to settle the bill. Then, under the resentful gaze of a group of girls, he left the candy store.

"If you're willing to teach this trick to the candy store owner, he'll be happy to give you a 9.5 percent discount on your candy purchase. Isobel looked at the marshmallow flowers in his hand and was in a very happy mood.

"Forget it, I'm not Professor Lockhart, and I don't really like to be watched by a crowd. ”

The two went to Madame Paddev's teahouse, where couples always liked to go on dates, and where they met Percy and his female companion, and Miss Penelope seemed to be interested in the marshmallow flowers in Isobel's hand, and Percy took him to Duke Honey's confectionery, and seemed to be planning to buy one for his girlfriend as well.

"Penelope is going to be disappointed. Isobel put the marshmallow aside, ordered two cups of milk tea, and talked to Albert about beauty potions.

In fact, there are quite a few similar beauty potions in the wizarding world, which were originally proposed and developed by a witch named Sakrisa Tagwood in the last century, but none of them can keep people young.

In the United States, Miss Catherine has also made little progress, and it is not easy to develop a potion that can make people maintain their appearance.

Potion research sometimes requires a little luck.

Albert was going to look for inspiration from the ingredients for beauty potions, as well as the Mandela root, which could be used to create potions that could delay aging through the complex potion process.

However, Albert didn't know whether this thing would work or not, but that didn't stop him from revealing some research directions to Isobel.

At that moment, a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, and a faint sound of thunder could be heard in the distance.

Dense raindrops fell, pedestrians on the streets looked for shelter from the rain, and many students took shelter from the teahouse.

I stayed in the shop for an hour, waited until the rain had subsided, and then left the teahouse, intending to buy something at the Devis Bans store.

As soon as he paid to walk out of the teahouse, Albert saw an acquaintance.

"Mr. Hertock Dagworth," Alberta said, taking Isobel's hand, and walked briskly forward, greeting the figure that was about to cross the corner.

"It's Albert!" Hertock paused, looked at Albert in some surprise, his eyes fell on Isobel beside him, and asked with a smile, "Why don't you introduce this young lady next to you?"

"This is Isobel, my girlfriend," Albert began to introduce the two parties, "this is Hertok Dagworth, a famous Potions master, I mentioned to you before. ”

"How did you end up here. ”

"I need bird snake eggs, and by the way came to see Mr. Kettleber, I heard he was sick. ”

"You sold that house to Mr. Kettleber?" Albert had guessed why.

"Yes, I heard him retire and gave him the house on Hogsmeade. Hertok smiled and said, "You know, I rarely come here, and it's a waste to keep the house." ”

After asking Isobel for advice, the two of them followed Hertock into a remote street to the house they had been in before.

The place has been carefully tended, the weeds in the garden have turned into flowers, and a shack has been built next to it.

"I thought Professor Kettleber would stay in the hospital to recuperate. ”

"Mr. Kettleber wasn't quite worried about his cuties, so he came back. ”

Someone who opened the door for them was a house-elf, presumably sent from Hogwarts to take care of Professor Kettleber's daily life.

Professor Kettleber was glad to have someone to visit him, and chatted casually about some recent events.

"I read in the newspaper that Mr. Damocles released the wolf poison potion. Mr. Kettleber looked at Hertock with bewilderment and bewilderment, and he thought that the wolf poison potion had been invented by Hetok.

"It was Damocles who originally proposed to use the toxin of wolf venom aconitum to make a wolf poison potion to restrain werewolves, and the potion appeared a long time ago, but there was a problem with the raw materials and configuration. "Later, he asked us to help improve the potion, and I remember Albert helping a lot. ”

Professor Kettleber looked at Albert in surprise, and the latter shook his head to indicate that he had made some suggestion at that time.

"It's a bit expensive, though, and I don't think werewolves can afford it. Professor Kettleber shook his head, "By the way, how many eggs do you need?" ”

"One...... No, two. Hertok thought he needed to do so, so he changed his tune for a while.

"I'll ask Clark to bring it to you. Professor Kettleber didn't refuse, but just sighed lightly, "There were supposed to be eight bird and snake eggs, but somehow, when I checked, I found that two were missing. ”

"Was it stolen?"

"I don't know, I don't remember anymore. Professor Kettleber said.

Albert's brow furrowed slightly, which reminded him of Lockhart's, after all, he needed Bird Snake Eggs to make his Bird Snake Egg Yolk Shampoo.

"Perhaps, you gave it to Professor Lockhart? I remember that his Bird Snake Yolk Shampoo needed Bird Snake eggs. "Albert unceremoniously put the pot on Lockhart's head, who made that guy the most suspicious?

"Bird Snake Egg Yolk Shampoo?" Hetok raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Professor Lockhart gave me a bottle last time, and I haven't used it yet, so here it is. Albert said as he pulled the shampoo from the shape-shifting lizard's leather pouch.

"I've heard of this thing, it's sold on the black market, and it's said to be a bit dangerous to use, but it works very well. Hertock took the shampoo and looked it up and down, commenting, "But it's not even a half-finished thing." ”

"That's a shameful waste, I don't know why Dumbledore would agree to him becoming a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor. "Kettleber has a big opinion of Lockhart's Bird Snake Egg Yolk Shampoo, which is the main ingredient in this thing, which is the egg yolk of the Bird Snake Egg.

"Alright, don't get excited, you should get sick now. Hertock reassured that after the house-keeping elf brought the eggs of the bird and snake, the few of them did not bother Professor Kettleber anymore, and got up to take their leave.

"You think it's Professor Lockhart?" After separating from Hertok, Isobel asked suddenly.

"Don't you think the Defense Against the Dark Arts professors are suspicious every year?" Albert digressed as he finished speaking, "Is there a place you want to go?"

"Go and have a drink with three brooms, and then go back. Isobel hesitated, but asked, "Have you asked that Mr. Hertock about beauty potions?"

"Of course I did. "Albert didn't hide it," he said, saying that the witch Sakrisa Tagwood, who used to specialize in beauty potions, had made a similar idea, and even spent a lot of time researching it, but never succeeded. ”

"Yes, it can't be so easy. ”

"If you want, I can ask for you. Albert said suddenly, "The descendants of the Sakrissa Tagwood witch may still have preserved the materials of previous research." ”

Albert thinks he can find some inspiration from others, maybe he will succeed?

It's not a good idea to take chances, but it's okay to give it a try.

"Actually, you want to see it yourself!"

Isobel looked at Albert speechlessly, but nodded anyway, fearing that the notes and research records had been lost.

Most wizards don't attach as much importance to knowledge as they might think, especially things that don't make money. The beauty potion invented by Sakrisa Tagwood Witch is no secret these days.
