Aphrodisiac is a potion that is very difficult to prepare and quite powerful, and can sometimes be very frightening in terms of the dangers of its effects on people. The quickest update is that if you want to compare a spell to it, it's okay to say it's a weakened version of the Imperius Curse.

If it weren't for the fact that the aphrodisiac has a special antidote, and the performance after taking it is quite obvious, it may not be included in the list of banned drugs by the International Federation of Wizards.

Of course, since there is an antidote to this thing, as long as it is clear that the effect of the aphrodisiac in Filch is indeed the aphrodisiac, then Maca can easily be removed. He didn't even have to do anything, and when he informed Madam Pomfrey of the situation, the other party quickly went to the medicine pantry to get the corresponding antidote.

Therefore, it took more than ten minutes for Maca to come and go.

"Miss Brown, how long have you been waiting here?"

As soon as Maca, who had returned from the school hospital, came to the corridor in front of the office when she saw a figure in the distance. The other party was pestle in front of the door at the end of the corridor, and his expression and demeanor were full of uneasiness, obviously full of worry about what he was about to face.

As soon as she heard Maca's voice coming from the corner at the other end of the hallway, she immediately turned around and looked at it from a distance.

"Professor McLean......

Lavender only shouted, which was a kind of hello, but there was no follow-up.

To be honest, she didn't understand why she was in such a hurry, and she waited in front of the office door early in the morning without even filling her stomach. Obviously, Maca just glanced at her in the auditorium, and she didn't even point out the aphrodisiacs on the spot, but now she looks like she is rushing to "confess", which is a little too stupid.

After all, no matter how she said it, even she didn't understand why Filch fell into the aphrodisiac, which was a matter of course for her.

Seeing her uncertain look, Maca didn't say anything for the time being, but smiled at her instead.

"Don't stand, let's come in first!" He opened the door to his office and walked in first, "I'm a little crowded here, huh...... Let's go to the fireplace and sit down! By the way, close the door when you come in......"

The office hadn't changed much since he moved in, and the only place to talk was the small open space in front of the fireplace and the two chairs at the desk. When he had taken the first step and sat casually on the small stool in front of the fireplace, Lavender had to take small steps and move slowly in front of him.

"Sit down! Don't think too much about it, I'm not here to pursue the aphrodisiac...... If you want to pursue it, then it shouldn't be me, right? Maca looked at her and smiled, "If you want to admit your mistakes, you can deny them if you want to, that's what Professor Slughorn should consider."

"How do you know?"

Maca's casual words shocked Lavender. She didn't expect that something that even Slughorn himself might not have found out about would be easily said by Maca.

Now she knew the reason why she was in a hurry to run and cast herself in the net. That's probably because the eyes that Maca looked at herself at that time were so keen, as if she could see through her careful thoughts at a glance, which made people subconsciously feel that there was nothing to hide.

Of course, although this is also paved by the reputation of Maca's deeds, so that no one dares to underestimate him. But in fact, it is Lavender who has a ghost in his heart that makes him so sensitive. As for Maca's eyes, it was probably Lavender's weak heart that was secretly at work.

"Didn't Professor Slughorn just show you the aphrodisiac? It's not surprising that you're moved by the slightest carelessness...... Besides, this high-grade potion of aphrodisiac is not something that can be obtained anywhere! ”

As she spoke, Maca couldn't help but think of some interesting facts about this potion, and a hint of amusement gradually appeared on her face.

"The so-called love potion will not only bring strong confusion to the user, but also bring strong temptation to the user...... And the aphrodisiac is the most effective of the many love potions. ”

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and then reminded: "But you have to remember that if you mess around in school, the professors and the principal can handle it for you, so that you will not be harmed." But if you leave Hogwarts, you won't necessarily be able to help you like we do...... You're in sixth grade now, and graduation day is coming soon. ”

“…… I know, you like Ron, don't you? As he spoke, he changed the subject, "I think that if you still do such an immature thing, it will only make him hate you more." Well, I've heard about Neville pretending to be Ron...... If you want Ron to like you, you should think more about why he runs away from you, you know? ”

"Why?"

This is undoubtedly what Lavender is most concerned about now, and as soon as she heard Maca say this, she immediately subconsciously followed up. Maca, however, just shook her head.

"Even if I say this, you may not be able to listen to it." He said, "It's better for you to go back and think about it yourself, and only the answers you come up with are truly your own." ”

As far as Lavender Brown is concerned, there is actually nothing bad about it, and Marca, as a professor, of course, wants to guide the other party on the right path. This is true of learning, and of course the same is true of the concept of acting and behaving, which is the responsibility of a teacher.

It can be said that Maca is now understanding step by step how she should be a real professor.

It's just that, after all, this is a private matter between Lavender and Ron. It's okay to talk about the topic of aphrodisiacs in passing, but there is no need to go deeper.

"Alright, let's put this matter aside for now! I'll say hi to Professor McGonagall and Professor Slughorn, and if you do some honest reflection, nothing else......" he said, standing up, "Go back first!" Well...... Punishment is inevitable, Professor Slughorn is free in the afternoon, you take the initiative to go to his office to admit your mistake and receive the punishment! ”

……

Soon, when Professor McGonagall had the house-elves post an announcement that Filch had taken the residue of an unknown potion by mistake, the matter was over, no matter what the students guessed.

Filch's case, to put it bluntly, was a riot caused by the students' nonsense, which can be big or small. At the current alchemy competition, Maca and Professor McGonagall definitely don't want this matter to have too much impact, so the two tacitly agreed to smooth it out.

Lavender was lucky, as she apparently escaped one of the more severe punishments, and was done after an afternoon of copying Potions texts from Slughorn.

Ron was lucky that he hadn't opened the package since he received it. Otherwise, if he opened the box and smelled it, maybe he would be tempted to taste it because of the tantalizing smell of the aphrodisiac.

Of course, Neville was lucky, if it weren't for the "lucky chocolate" Alexander gave, he would probably have been the one who made a fool of himself in front of the whole school this time.

However, none of them were the luckiest ones in this incident.

That afternoon, while Lavender was still in Slughorn's office and was punished for copying texts, Alexander and Ens could not contain their excitement.

“…… I went to Neville in the morning and last night he felt surprisingly smooth with his homework, almost surpassing Hermione Granger, who had the best grades! Plus the fireworks I told you about in the morning...... It seems that that the box of chocolates is indeed mixed with a magic elixir! ”

Since they were caught by Hagrid in that corner last time, they met in a different place this time. At this moment, the two were sitting together in the shade of a tree, and Alexander was talking to Ens with great interest about what he had observed.

As for the previous uneasiness of conscience caused by Navi's test of medicine, he had already been surprised by the excellent effect of the elixir and was thrown out of the clouds.

"In other words, the elixir can make everything you do go smoothly," Ens was calm on the surface, but the sparkling eyes completely betrayed the excitement and joy in his heart, "In that case, just observe for a few more days, and when we find that there are no side effects, we can also try it......"

As he spoke, his eyes fell on the box of chocolates between the two. Although the lid was still firmly covered, they had already counted it more than once, and there were several in it that they could clearly see.

To be honest, it's normal for anyone to want to give themselves a little more of something as good as a magic elixir, and even to consider monopolizing it all. The two children, Alexander and Enns, were also obviously more precocious in mind than their peers, and while they were quite happy, they also showed some excitement and patience.

As Ens's eyes drooped to the box, Alexander followed suit. These two children, who have actually known each other for a short time, invariably have a similar hesitation.

After staring at the box for a while, they couldn't help but look up and look at each other. The two clever magic school freshmen both felt a somewhat strange atmosphere, quietly growing between them.

"You"

Alexander and Ens spoke almost at the same time, but pursed their lips at the same time, and fell silent with each other.
