Chapter 657: Stealing and Gifting

"Oh, Miss Brown, why haven't you left yet? It's going to be lights out in a minute......"

In the small hall with a lively atmosphere just now, Slughorn was about to pack up his things and leave, but when he turned around, he found that there was still a person standing at the door. But probably because he had drunk a little wine before, his eyes now seemed to be a little wandering.

Well, when he saw Lavender by the door, he squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully, and then asked a little sluggishly.

"Professor Slughorn, actually, I have something I would like to ask you for......" Lavender pretended to bow his head and deliberately look embarrassed, "That's right...... Actually, I would like to ask you to give me a bottle of anti-swelling medicine. ”

"Swelling agent? Are you hurt? ”

Regardless, Slughorn was a good Potions Master after all. Even when he is drunk, he can react immediately to problems related to his major.

"I think you should go to the school hospital, Pomfrey will cure you, she's always very capable!"

"Yes, you're right, but ......," Lavender said with a twist as he took two steps forward, "Professor, I would like to take the medicine myself, but Madam Pomfrey will never allow me to do that, let alone give me the potion." ”

"Medicating yourself? Why? Slughorn wondered, "Although there is nothing wrong with giving you a bottle of anti-swelling agent, after all, it is very cheap...... But if you want me to say, if you are injured, you still have to go to the school hospital to see it, because sometimes you may not be able to find out what the problem is. If it gets worse because of the delay in treatment, that's not good...... Well, where are you hurting? ”

As soon as he heard the old man ask this question, a bright light flashed in Lavender's eyes.

"Oh...... Professor Slughorn," she said, pretending to be shy, "I'm hurt...... You...... Do you really want to know? ”

Lavender said, "subconsciously" clutching his collar, as if he felt something inappropriate. At this moment, even if Slughorn didn't look at it at all, he couldn't help but have an illusion that "he seemed to have accidentally glanced at it just now".

"Uh...... Ahem...... "The old man cleared his throat in embarrassment, and most of the original drunken drunkenness dissipated, "Okay! If you just want a bottle of swelling agent, of course it's fine...... Come with me! I left my pharmacy box in the office......"

"Thank you! Thank you very much......" Lavender hurriedly complimented, "I knew you would say yes, because you are the kindest and kindest professor I have ever met!" ”

"Oh, it's really nothing," Slughorn said as he walked briskly to the door without looking back, "Of course, if something is still wrong after taking the medicine, then you must go to the school hospital, you know?" ”

"Okay, I got it." Lavender replied obediently in her sweet and greasy tone, and for a moment the old man's pace was noticeably faster.

The two of them rushed to Slughorn's office one after the other, and the old man was about to ask Lavender to wait at the door, but the latter came up first.

"I haven't been to your office yet! I've heard that each professor has a different character in their office," Lavender said curiously, "you don't mind if I go in and have a look?" ”

As she spoke, she stared at Slughorn with an expectant gaze that made the old man feel overwhelmed.

"Of course I wouldn't mind...... I mean, if you're not worried about missing the lights......"

With Slughorn reaching out his wand and tapping lightly on the doorknob, the door to the office was immediately opened. And not long after he walked into the office, Lavender followed closely.

But she looked left and right curiously, and the next moment, a box that was almost half a person tall quickly came into her eyes. It actually looked a lot like a Muggle refrigerator, and it was an upright type.

"Is this your potion box? It looks awesome! Lavender said excitedly, "Professor, where is the swelling agent?" ”

"Ah, it's the third layer from top to bottom, it's on the left-hand side," Slughorn saw this, so he raised his wand and pointed at it again, opening the potion box, "Light brown potions bottle, see?" I've got labels on the bottles, so it should be easy to find......"

"Light brown ...... Hmm, is that it? Lavender looked inside to the left and right, and the old man was talking to the left-hand side, but she was looking around as if she were looking for something.

Just as she heard Slughorn's footsteps getting closer and closer, she caught a glimpse of a familiar glow out of the corner of her eye.

"Oh! I think I found it."

Lavender picked up the white-labeled light brown potion vial from the third floor, then turned around and raised his right hand and shook it at the old man.

"Is this it? Professor? ”

Unexpectedly, Slughorn had already walked behind her, which scared her. Fortunately, she was prepared, and her face was stunned and did not show anything unusual.

"Yes, that's right......," the old man nodded, "you've got it right." ”

"It's wonderful"

Lavender was perfunctory in a serious manner, but his left hand, which was hidden behind his back, quietly poked into the spot he had just seen. Because she had already placed her left hand there before, the grasp was quite accurate, and the bottle of potion marked with the red label was directly held in her hand.

"Professor, huh...... Although this was what I asked you for, ......" After getting what she wanted, she turned on the pretense mode again, "I can really take it, can I?" ”

"Of course, of course," Slughorn waved his hand, "don't worry too much, it's just a swelling agent!" Compared to this, I'm actually more worried about whether you will miss the lights out time, and it will be ordered soon! ”

As he spoke, he looked back at the clock on the wall, and Lavender took the opportunity to put the potion bottle in his left hand into his pocket.

"Ah...... It's a shame, and I'd like to take a good look at your office! She stomped her foot in feigned disappointment, "Professor, can I find another time to come over later?" ”

"No problem, as long as I'm here, I'm welcome at any time." The old man smiled and said, "When the time comes, I can tell you about some of the students I have taught in the past, I believe you will be interested!" ”

"That sounds good," Lavender said as he walked to the door as he looked around his office, "then...... Professor, I'm going back to my dorm today...... Good night! ”

She walked out the door, trying to bring Slughorn the door to her office, and then secretly breathed a sigh of relief, when she heard another voice coldly.

"Miss Brown...... Can you give me a reasonable explanation as to why you're here? ”

This time she was completely defenseless, and she was finally scared and trembled. Of course, it was undoubtedly Snape, who was in charge of the rounds after the lights were out tonight, and there was no one who was not impressed by his cold tone.

"Of course, before you can explain," Snape said lightly, "Gryffindor deducts five points." ”

……

While Lavender was secretly distressed about his bad luck, Harry and the others had already returned to the common room. It's just because of a small thing that the three of them haven't gotten ready to sleep yet.

Right now, they were gathered around a round table, and then the light from the window looked at a gift box that was placed on the table. The knacks were beautifully packaged, ribbons and ornaments, and they were the same gift Slughorn had given to Hermione at the dessert tasting.

It's a gift, but it's actually the prize Hermione won. According to Slughorn, he mixed the elixir into a box of chocolates, making it "more like a gift for a lady."

Unfortunately, whether it was still in a bottle, or whether it had become chocolate as it was now, Hermione wasn't very interested. It's just that because of the old man's face, she still accepted it.

"Harry, don't you think there are necessarily side effects? It's yours," Hermione said, casually pushing the box containing the chocolates in front of Harry.

"No, no, I thought about it just now, since it was Maca who said it, it shouldn't be wrong." Harry immediately pushed it back, "Besides, isn't this the prize the professor gave you?" For you"

"But I don't want it!" Hermione pushed it again, "Don't push it!" Anyway, you can collect it or lose it, I don't want it anyway! ”

With that, she turned around and walked straight to the stairs leading to the girls' dormitory. Harry picked up the gift box, first looked left and right, and then subconsciously looked at Ron beside him.

"Hey, don't look at me!" Ron hurriedly jumped to the side, "Luck first, then bad luck, I can't stand this, I'd rather nothing happen, life is good now!" ”

"Don't worry, I won't give it to you," Harry immediately shook his head, and said categorically, "I can't stand it if you just mess around." ”

"Then don't go to my bedside table and dig for honey candy again!" Ron suddenly said angrily, "You are so rich, and you always come to my poor hands to steal candy and eat ......"

"Isn't that because you don't want it when I invite you?" Harry gave him a blank look.

"Alright, don't talk about these useless things!" Ron suddenly snatched the gift box from Harry's hand and put it back on the table, "Stay here!" Whoever wants it will take it, and that's fine......"

"Then at least I have to leave a reminder for everyone" Harry pulled out a quill from his bag and wrote on the gift box, before he put away his pen and ink and clapped his hands, "Alright! We can go to sleep! ”

After saying that, the two of them walked to the dormitory with their shoulders hooked, and soon disappeared at the staircase.
