9. Learn
The already gloomy sky over London was made even more gloomy by the thunderstorms, and the day was almost indistinguishable from night. In a castle shrouded in a rainstorm, Magos's mood was as depressed and irritable as the weather.
It was one of the larger rooms on the fourth floor of the castle, which had been renovated to look like a small library, according to McGoss's request. He transformed the room into a hexagonal room, one of which had a large window, but now it was covered by a curtain, and in front of the window there was an iron frame in front of which Xiaobai could stand, and Xiaobai was the snow owl he bought. He sorted the books he bought back and put them on the shelves on each side, and there was a large square table on the left and right sides of the room, which was full of various test tubes, balances and herbs, and there was a figure of about one meter and four who was looking at the test tubes in his hand intently, and then put them back in a decadent manner.
It's been almost a month since McGoss last went to the Leaky Cauldron, and as expected, his father didn't allow him to drop out of school, but he also relaxed the restrictions and had to pass 4 days a week, and he didn't go there today when the weather was bad. This way, he has enough time to learn the things in the book, but it may be that he is too young and his magic power is too weak, and he can only cast three or four spells now without magic power, and the success rate is not very high.
This is still good, at least he has learned a few spells, and the potions don't know if it is because there is no systematic teaching that caused him to use up all the magic herbs and not succeed in making a potion, which makes him very frustrated and irritable. Finally, he took a look at the liquid in the test tube whose color was obviously different from the book, took a deep breath, rubbed his head vigorously with his hand, walked to Xiaobai, and touched its little head, Xiaobai screamed comfortably.
Pulling back the curtains and looking out at the rainstorm, McGoth felt like he was feeling right now. This window is specially made, in addition to being open on both sides, the bottom piece of glass can be propped up, so that Xiaobai can be free to haunt in such weather without letting the rain come in, after all, the door of this room needs to be locked casually, and these things inside are a bit shocking to ordinary people. Propping up the glass and looking at it in a daze, he turned around and said to Xiaobai that if he was bored, he could go out to breathe, but he couldn't get water inside, Xiaobai screamed twice, probably in response, he spread his wings and flew out, and he couldn't see it in the blink of an eye, McGoth turned around, picked up his wand, walked to the door, opened the door and walked out.
"Young master, if Madame wants you to come out, go to her side." As soon as I went out, I saw a servant approaching.
"Okay, I'll go over it. You go down first. ”
"Okay, young master." Magos watched as the servant moved out of sight. Turn around and point your wand at the door lock.
"Swift confinement." A white light shot out of the wand and haunted the door lock, this is one of the few elementary spells that McGoth learned the door lock charm, in fact, this is his private space, no one will recklessly break in, but the spell is mainly to show off, otherwise there is no difference between learning not to use it and not learning.
"Not bad, it did it the first time." The first successful spell made McGoss's irritable mood much better.
As long as the deep iron pestle is sharpened into a needle, I don't believe it. Now you'll need to go Diagon Alley to buy some herbs. ’
Magos thought about it as he went downstairs.
"Mom, you call me?"
"Wheat Goss, if I don't call you, will you come down? You don't want to lock yourself in that room all day, it's okay to go out and around, you see, your body doesn't look as strong as it used to be. "Mrs. Will Edra . . Angel said distressedly holding McGoss's hand.
"Don't worry, Mom, I'm in good health, I don't be in it every day, I still have to go to school, if I can convince my dad to let me not have to go to school anymore."
Mrs. Will sneered.
"Don't even think about it, even if your father agrees, I won't agree, I haven't gone to school over there, I just lock myself in my room every day and don't come out, if you really want to go to school, can you still come out?"
McGoth couldn't help but pout, thinking that learning new things would of course take a long time to read books and think, plus it was normal for him to do experiments and stay in the room every day, and besides, those scientists were working on a project for ten years.
Thinking about it, McGoth's eyes suddenly lit up, yes, I can't find the reason for the failure of my potions every time, but you can read books like chemistry, physics and medicine first, maybe you can find out your shortcomings, I haven't heard that potions must use magic, and anyway, I used to be a college student, and I don't want to be proficient, so it's enough to use for reference.
As soon as he thought of it, McGoth threw himself into his mother's arms and hugged him hard. Before she could react, she ran away.
"Mom, I suddenly remembered that there was something to use, so I won't accompany you, I'll go out and have a look."
By the time Mrs. Will reacted, McGoth had already run away.
"This kid ......"
Earl Will was not at home, and McGoth ran directly to Burton's.
"Burton, take me to the bookstore where I went up."
"Young master, it's raining so hard, what if I catch a cold, or I'll go tomorrow." Burton said with some embarrassment.
"It's okay, anyway, I'm in the car, and when the time comes, you will park directly in front of the bookstore, and there is an umbrella, I can't help but get drenched, let's go."
"This, okay, young master, slow down." Burton saw that no one had come out to stop him, and he reluctantly agreed.
Soon they were at the big bookstore.
"Burton, you park the car, go find a place to rest first, I may have to wait for a while before I go back."
"Okay, young master, I'm in the coffee shop not far away, and I'll see something if you wave your hand." Seeing McGoss nod, Burton drove away.
When he walked into the bookstore, there was no customer except the clerk, and McGoth was not happy to shop more, so he went straight to the books he wanted to buy, and bought a total of mathematics, chemistry and physics, as well as some medical books, and of course he also asked the clerk to buy a few books on Chinese medicine and herbal medicine. There were a lot of books, and McGoth was not happy to take him to the bar, beckoned Burton to the car and let him leave.
Open the umbrella and walk out of the bookstore and walk into the bar when no one is looking. His sudden disappearance was only seen by Burton, but he had been informed of the situation, so it was not surprising, except to glance at McGoth from time to time to see if he had come out.
As soon as I entered the bar, I heard a loud noise, and it seemed that there were a lot of people in the bar today. After a closer look, I found that it was already full of people, probably because of the bad weather, everyone came to chat and fart. Magos put the umbrella in his storage bag and squeezed it in.
"Hey, Mr. Will, how did you have time to come here today, you haven't been here for almost a month." Tom quipped when he saw McGoss.
"Hehe, I always want to read some books when I buy them. I'm here today to buy some herbs. ”
"Oh, that's good, I've already started to learn potions on my own." As he spoke, he lowered his voice and whispered to McGoss, "Today's Hogwarts Potions teacher Severus . Professor Slipp is also here, didn't you say you wanted someone to teach last time, but you can ask him if you want. ”
McGoss's eyes lit up, Slipper, it was really right to go out today by coincidence, but when he thought of Slip's character in the novel, McGoth was in trouble, if he went to ask for advice, would Slipp mock himself, or mock, or mock him...... I was a little timid in my heart.
But when I think of him in the novel, he is cold and kind-hearted, even if he hates Harry Potter so much, he hasn't changed at all. Thinking of this, McGoss rubbed his face to make himself smile more naturally, and looked in the direction Tom pointed.
A middle-aged man with greasy black hair, a hooked nose, sallow skin and a serious face came into view, he was talking to someone, but even then his eyes looked very cold, and people couldn't help but leave his sight. Suddenly, he paused as if sensing something, and suddenly turned his head to look at Mygoth, who was staring at him.
McGoth's heart shrank when he saw that look, what kind of look was it, there was no mood swing in it, it was like a pool of stagnant water, and he stared at you as if he didn't look at you.
Magos subconsciously wanted to leave his sight, but for some reason he didn't, and walked over to meet his gaze, noticing that the voices of the people here were inexplicably quiet, and when McGoth walked up to Slip, the whole bar was silent, as if all the wizards were watching them.
Slip watched Magos come as he walked towards him, his face not fluctuating, his eyes never showing any emotion as before.
McGoth, who was already a little nervous, became even more nervous because of the silence and the attention of everyone.
"You, hello, my name is McGoss. Will, I, I heard that you are a professor at Hogwarts, so I thought, I would like to ask you some questions. McGoth stumbled to finish.
After listening to McGoss's words, Slip turned his head without any expression, and didn't say a word. The crowd in the bar laughed good-naturedly.
"Little wizard, don't be afraid, you can ask me, haha."
"That's how Severus is, don't mind the little one."
………
"Severus, you've scared our little wizard."
………
………
"Little guy, just ask, this guy is a facial paralysis."
McGoss, who had been flushed with laughter, slowly calmed down when he heard these kind words. Naturally, I would like to thank the people around me.
Even in the face of everyone's laughter, Slip's expression did not fluctuate at all, and he did not speak.
McGoth didn't know whether the last sentence was true or false, and used the mentality of a dead horse as a live horse doctor to say a problem that bothered him.
"Hello Professor Stree, I don't know why, I made the potion for scabies according to the textbook, but the potion I made always had no effect?"
