Chapter 44: Compound Decoction (Part II)
Louie is indeed greedy for the bodies of half-blood giants, and he is eager to unravel the secret roots of their immense power and why they have magical resistance.
However, because of the accident caused by the idiot's particularity to Professor Binns, Louis no longer dared to manipulate magic to explore the mysteries of the wizard's body, for fear that he would accidentally become a suspect in a murder case.
Therefore, as for the secret analysis of the half-blood giant's body, Louie is ready to find another way, borrowing the magical effect of the compound decoction to complete it instead.
Then.
The friendly exchange between the crowd and Hagrid continued.
In the ensuing friendly exchange, Louis obviously had no way of knowing what level of wizard Hagrid was, but he confirmed another thing in the exchange with Hagrid.
That is....
In addition to Newt Scamander, the author of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", he has added a half-blood giant, Rubeus Hagrid.
There is no need for Louis to open his mouth to ask at all, no longer afraid of Hagrid's huge size George, Fred and Galen are like a hundred thousand whys, you ask Hagrid one by one about magical beasts, and even if you can get Hagrid's answers like a treasure.
Listen to the topics of several people, from the living habits of magical animals such as unicorns and tree guards, to centaurs, werewolves, Thestrals, and even the dragon magical beasts that Hagrid is most interested in....
How much knowledge about magical beasts did George, Fred and Galen have from Hagrid, Louis is not clear, anyway, listening to the content of their conversation with Hagrid, Louis has a vague understanding of the general distribution of various magical beasts in the Forbidden Forest, as well as the consumption of most magical beasts....
Ahem...
and the weaknesses of most Fantastic Beasts.
Before parting.
Realizing that Louis and Galen had a strong interest in unicorns, Hagrid took out a few bunches of unicorn tail hairs from the drawer at random, and said with a smile: "It's not early, I think you should go back to rest, before leaving.... I'm glad I gave you these unicorn tail feathers, and I'm glad to be friends with a few of you little Gryffindors. ”
Looking at the feathers of each bunch of unicorns, Louis couldn't help but hesitate for a moment and asked, "Mr. Hagrid, this.... Does it really matter? ”
"Louie, what do you want to ask?" Hagrid asked curiously.
"Mr. Hagrid, your gift to us is very valuable."
Louis pointed to the bunch of unicorn tail hairs in front of him and said, "I asked in Diagon Alley, the market purchase price of each unicorn's tail hair is seven Galleons, and these unicorn tail hairs you gave us are very well preserved, I think they are worth at least ten Galleons each, right?" ”
Hearing Louis talk about the value of each bundle of unicorn tail hairs, George, who was originally holding a bundle of unicorn tail hairs, Fred glanced at each other, and hurriedly put the bundle of unicorn tail hairs in his hand on the table.
But Hagrid smiled indifferently, and said indifferently: "Louie, the gift between friends is not about value, but about heart. In fact, Dumbledore had long ago advised me that I should use these things to improve my life, but I didn't think it was necessary, and I liked my life now. ”
"As for the tail hair of these unicorns..."
Hagrid pointed to the bunches of unicorn tail hairs on the table, tilted his head and continued to laugh:
"I usually use them as bandages."
Louis et al.: "....."
The trenches are inhumane!
………………
A few minutes later.
After saying goodbye to Hagrid, the group returned to the dormitory with the "bandages" he had given, listening to George, Fred was discussing what to give Hagrid or something along the way, and Louis suddenly thought of an incident that happened in the HP movie.
There's that thing about the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets.
I vaguely remember that Voldemort, who was a descendant of Slytherin, seemed to open the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets, and released the basilisk inside to kill a wizard from a Muggle family, and finally caused Hagrid to be deprived of the right to use a wand by the Ministry of Magic, which made Louis inexplicably have the idea of exploring the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets.
He felt that the best gift he could give Hagrid was to restore Hagrid's right to use his wand.
So....
Louie prepares to learn the Parseltongue.
Since that thing Dumbledore can teach himself, Ron in the HP movies can learn a little bit when he hears Harry talk in his sleep, so it doesn't make sense that we can't learn it!
Of course.
How to deal with the basilisk locked in the Slytherin chamber, Louis thought he needed to think about it in the long run, that big guy was not something anyone could solve casually.
Then as the group returned to the dormitory safely, they put away the unicorn tail hair given by Hagrid, Louis saw George, and although Fred and Fred failed to enter the Forbidden Forest as they wished, because they knew Hagrid, they suddenly dragged themselves and Galen with great interest to talk about the topic of magical beasts, and their faces raised a smile of relief like an old father.
In the early hours of the morning, after making sure that George, Fred, and Galen were asleep in the dormitory, Louis quietly manipulated the power of the Transfiguration Charm to transform the pillow into his own appearance.
The next second...
"Whew!"
Incarnate in the form of a silent black mist.
In the blink of an eye, Louis quietly left the Gryffindor common room, and immediately lifted the silent black fog form, and came to Filch and Lady Loris.
"Huh?"
"Mr. Rogers?"
Suddenly seeing Louis's figure appear in front of him, Filch was slightly surprised, but his attitude was still as respectful as the first time the two met.
No way.
Louis's disillusionment with him had completely changed Filch's attitude towards him, although the relationship between the two was not that of master and servant, but that of better friends.
But when it comes to Louis's night trip, Filch apparently selectively ignores it.
And Louis didn't need to detour in front of Filch, after saying hello to him and Madame Loris, Louis went straight to the point and said, "Mr. Filch, there is something I want to ask for your opinion. ”
"What's the matter?" Filch asked curiously.
"Something about potions."
Louis took out a bottle of compound potion from his satchel, put it in front of Filch, and said, "Here's the thing, Mr. Filch, I got some compound potion from Snape, and I'd like to see how effective it is when others take it, would you like to experiment with it for me?" ”
"Compound decoction? That's a precious potion! ”
As a Squib who had been a Hogwarts caretaker for many years, Filch knew a little bit about potions, and after a little shock, he asked wistfully:
"Mister Rogers, you know I'm a Squib, and your Polyjuice Potion is for me.... No, no, I mean, would you really like me to do it for you? ”
"Of course."
Louis smiled and nodded, handed over the bottle of compound potion with Hagrid's hair in it, and instructed, "Mr. Filch, just take a sip, it will keep you for an hour of transformation time, try it!" ”
"Thank you for your trust, Mister Rogers!"
Filch nodded excitedly, took the compound potion handed by Louie, and poured it hard without thinking.
When Filch finished taking the compound decoction, as the compound decoction in his body began to take effect slowly, he used the magic of the levitation spell to catch the crystal bottle that Filch unconsciously threw down, Louis narrowed his eyes slightly, and nodded secretly with anticipation:
"It looks like this bottle of polyjuice potion that Snape gave me..."
"It's not poisonous!"
(Snape: =͟͟͞͞=͟͟͞͞(●⁰ꈊ⁰●|||), do I really look like a bad guy? Or rather.... How robust you are! )
………………
PS1: As a joke, the compound decoction began to be all beaten into compound potions during the code chapter, which was completely subconscious, and then it was all modified.
PS2: It should be reasonable for Louie to die of lung cancer before he was reborn, and to cherish life for his dreams after being reborn.
PS3: Thank you very much for the support of all readers, cheekily ask for recommendations, ask for collections, and give rewards that come out of nowhere, so that the flower code word is full of power~
