“…… It's all your fault! If it weren't for you, why would I be cleaning in this library on my day off? ”

The library is mostly empty on Saturdays, especially after lunch, when it's empty. At the moment, Ens and Alexander had to take the cleaning tools and wander helplessly among the large number of bookshelves.

Alexander was indeed a little speechless about Ens's complaints.

"I didn't know that Professor Hagrid would see me as I walked along the lake......" he swept his broom in a weak voice.

Yes, it was Hagrid who suddenly appeared out of the bushes, and when Hagrid found out that Earns had been spelled, he took him to the school hospital regardless of whether Earns liked it or not. After that, things were simple, and when Professor McGonagall figured out what had happened, both were thrown into the library to be punished.

Just like going to the prize showroom to wipe trophies, going to the library to clean up dust is a common punishment. In fact, except for too serious mistakes, the punishment is quite easy.

But for a student, the precious free time on the rest day is just passing in the middle of cleaning, which is a painful thing.

"No more!"

After a few more copious sweeps, Ens simply threw the broom to the ground and leaned against the window with impatience on his face.

"Alexander, I'll give you my share—"

"Huh? Feed! Alexander said depressedly, "It's not because you made the first move!" Professor McGonagall said that - hey! I'm going to get it all by myself! ”

"Who cares about you......"

Ens pursed his lips and casually scanned the shelves, intending to find a book to read.

Just by looking at the title of the book, he knew that it was supposed to be a bookshelf for Potions, and it was the kind of difficult research material that only senior students would borrow. At the mention of Potions, he suddenly remembered the "Elixir Chocolate" that Alexander had spoken of the previous morning.

"Elixir? What does it do? Ens thought as he pulled out a book on the shelf and flipped through it, "Gerbarot suggests that the antidote to the mixed poison is greater than the sum of its parts...... What is this? ”

Although he was looking for an analysis of the effects of the Elixir, after reading a few books, he felt that his head was about to explode. If these books are published in the modern era, they will be relatively good, at least have a table of contents or something, but if they are relatively old, there will only be all kinds of manuscript books with no typesetting to speak of, and a lot of time can be wasted just by reading the scribbled handwriting.

After flipping through several volumes in a row, Ens had to stuff the last magic book in his hand back into the bookshelf with a bored face, and made up his mind that he would not learn these things full of theorems, formulas, and data in the future.

"The last one! If you can't find it......" After glancing back and forth on the bookshelf a few times, Ens couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, and pulled out a large green-sealed magic book from the shelf.

Maybe everyone has encountered it, and after looking for some questions but not finding the answer, the original faint sense of curiosity slowly thickened, making people uncomfortable if they were not solved. At present, Ens is obviously in this state when he is extremely bored, and he is not paying attention.

"'I'm Zygmunt Bucky, the greatest pharmacist of all time'...... Who is this Bucky? Can you be so shameless? As soon as he opened the book, Ens saw the first sentence in the preface, "Oh...... Here is a record of the elixir! ”

What he was holding in his hand at this time was the famous "Book of Potions" in Potions. The 16th-century wizard Zygmunt Bucky also attended Hogwarts, but dropped out of school because he was not approved by the headmaster to participate in the Potions Tournament, and moved to an island on his own to begin his life as a Potions researcher.

It must be said that his research results are not only numerous, but also have had a great impact on modern potions, and indeed deserves the title of "great pharmacist". However, it is not worth advocating that a person who immerses himself in research and does not even have children left.

It was not until the middle of the 17th century that his book was discovered by a wizarding traveler who sailed the seas and brought it back to his alma mater, Hogwarts.

"Elixir of Fortune, also known as the Potion of Fortune, is able to bring unparalleled good luck to those who take it......"

As he read it word by word, he gradually learned about the difficulty of preparing the potion and the value of it. The thought of the box of elixir chocolates that Alexander had said "whoever wants it will take" couldn't help but feel a little itchy in his heart.

"Alexander! Come here...... Hurry up! He turned his head and beckoned to the other side, "Didn't you say in the morning that there was a box of chocolates in your college's common room?" Who took it? ”

"No?" Alexander, who was lazy next to him, said, "What's the matter, you want it?" But I heard from the seniors that there seemed to be some side effects of that thing......"

"Come and see this!" Ens shook the thick book in his hand, "I didn't say there were side effects...... Moreover, it takes half a year to refine the potion...... Gee...... If you have a magic elixir, those second-grade or even third-grade spells will definitely be able to be practiced! ”

"I think it's better to forget it!" Alexander leaned over and looked at it a few times, then waved his hand and said, "That kind of thing of unknown origin, who knows if it's a prank made by a senior?" Even if it's for you...... Do you dare to eat it? ”

"If you want me to eat it first, it won't work," Ens said with a smile, "but can you let someone else try it first?" ”

"Hey!" Alexander's eyes immediately widened and said, "Remind you, I don't eat it!" ”

"It's not you—" Ens pouted, "you know it all, can I still fool you?" You get it for me first, I have a great idea......"

He walked up to Alexander, and was about to whisper the little plan he had just come up with, when he heard a sudden sound of footsteps coming from the direction of the library's door.

"Someone is coming, get a broom...... Ens hurriedly waved his hand, "I'll tell you later." ”

"Mr. Taon, Mr. Wolff, it seems that you are not planning to reflect on the mistakes you have made?"

It was Professor McGonagall, who still cared about her students as the current head of the school. No matter how busy she is, she never forgets to find time to fulfill the responsibilities and obligations of a professor.

"Oh, no...... Professor McGonagall, we ......"

"We're just cleaning up and taking a little rest."

Alexander and Ens tried to explain their laziness, but McGonagall would not believe their improvised excuses.

"Stay here until dinner!" Professor McGonagall walked straight to the side and said sternly, "When your Professor McLean was a student, he was punished from me for breaking the school rules. ”

"I still remember that he said it correctly – 'accepting punishment can set up the right concept for other students.'" She said, "I hope that you can be like him, set an example for other students, and take this punishment seriously." ”

It wasn't until Professor McGonagall had been sent off that Ens and Alexander took their brooms and reluctantly swept the floor again.

"It's that McLean again......" Ens muttered, waving his broom wildly, "I want to think about it...... How many times have I heard this name since I entered Hogwarts? I haven't even taken his class yet! ”

"I've heard it many times," Alexander nodded, "but that can't be helped, who made Professor McLean really good?" And that's just how much other people really admire him...... Before I came to Hogwarts, he was the one who took me to buy all kinds of school supplies, and he was actually a very easy-going person. ”

“…… I've seen him once before I came here," Ens paused, "Forget it, it's his business to be good, let's take care of ourselves first!" I'll just think about these things for now...... Come here, I'll tell you about the plan......"

……

While the two freshmen, who didn't know each other, were working in the library, Harry and the others were enjoying some free time at Hogsmeade's Three Broomsticks.

. LS exams have been promoted to the sixth grade, and although the classes are still hectic, I can breathe a sigh of relief when it is time to take a break.

As it happens, Harry and Ron were sipping on Butterbeer while casually talking about the box of chocolates they both left in the common room last night. Of course, Hermione must not have been upset, as she didn't think Harry should have left that thing to anyone else.

"If you want me to say, you should throw it in the trash!" She took a sip of Butterbeer and frowned, "I thought you would do that, but you didn't ......"

"That's a magic elixir!" Ron spread his hands and said, "If it hadn't been mixed in chocolate by Slughorn, I'd have sold it!" ”

"That can't be—"

"Hermione," Harry interrupted suddenly, "your lips are ...... Give it a rub! ”

"Oh......"

Hermione was stunned for a moment, then looked at the rich foam in the cup, and then wiped her mouth busily. As for the elixir, well...... Wait until you're done wiping your mouth before you move on!

However, while they were still discussing the elixir chocolate, they didn't know that an owl had flown to the window of the boys' dormitory in the Gryffindor Tower, and landed firmly on the edge of a window.
