Chapter 13: Potions and Silent Spells

In the blink of an eye, September has passed.

Lady Hodge did not disappoint Cynthia, who had officially received the approval of Dean Slughorn to join the Slytherin Quidditch team as a batter.

After sharing the news with her parents, Cynthia sent back a handful of the latest models of the moment: the new Halo 1000. Mr. and Mrs. Black said that since they have joined the team, they should try to do their best!

……………………………………

"Hey! Regulus, it's Cissy's birthday soon, what do you have in store for her? Cynthia suddenly appeared in the lounge and patted her brother on the shoulder.

"Oh! Oh, my God! Thea, can you make a sound when you walk! Regulus was so frightened that he hit his textbook on his foot.

"Hahahahaha! You were too inadvertently scared of Regulus! Cynthia laughed and fell crookedly on the couch.

"Okay, okay! Who made me my brother! I have prepared an opal necklace, how about you? Regulus's eyes were one after the other.

"Me?" Cynthia pointed to herself, "I've prepared a pair of stud earrings for Cissy, on which I drew a small defensive array!" Cynthia raised an eyebrow.

"Wow! Nice idea! She is worthy of being a genius girl in the magic array! Regulus looked at his sister with a wicked smile.

"It's really, I don't know who is so boring! What genius witch, magic circle genius girl, Quidditch witch...... I've really had enough! Cynthia kept shaking her head, as if she wanted to shake it out.

"Hah! You don't know, Cynthia, Gryffindor's mudblood's face turned red when he heard it! Barty Crouch Jr. suddenly appeared next to him.

"Hey! Little Barty! Cynthia waved at him, "I don't care what others think!" She turned her head, "I just want to do my best to do the best I can!" Those are just false names, only what you learn is your own! ”

Little Barty stared blankly at the girl in front of her, and when she said this, the light in his eyes made him ignore everything around him, and there was only one figure in his eyes.

Until his roommate, the annoyed half-blood, Snape's voice came along, "Crouch, Professor Slughorn told you to come to his office." ”

He gave him a vicious glance and got up to leave. Severus looked at the blonde girl across from him and turned to leave.

"Severus! Wait, I have a question for you! The girl's voice came from behind him, "Well, I'm having a little trouble making potions, can you help me?" ”

“……”

"Severus, I shouldn't have ignored you for so long, can you help me?" Seeing that the boy did not speak, Cynthia stepped forward and grabbed his robe.

Severus slowly turned back to the girl and said, "What's the problem?" He whispered.

"Huh?" Cynthia couldn't help but be a little stunned when she saw him turn around, "Oh! Yes, it's this," she scrambled to get the potions textbook in her bag.

"The Shrinking Solution requires daisy roots (chopped), wrinkled figs (peeled), caterpillars (sliced), a drop of rat bile, and a little leech juice," Cynthia pointed to her textbook, "but I can't make the perfect potion based on this." You know why? Severus"

"Well, that's right, when I'm making this potion, I'm going to chop up the caterpillars, and then I'm going to make the perfect potion." Severus looked at the textbook.

"But the book is sliced!" Cynthia said puzzled.

"Yes, but according to the book, it can't be done perfectly, I think it's the caterpillar flakes that don't fully exert the effect of the caterpillar, so I choose to chop it." Severus said seriously, "You can go and give it a try, Cynthia!" ”

"Well, thank you Severus." Cynthia waved her hand and put the textbook away.

"Wait, Cynthia, you, you just used the Silent Charm?" Severus was taken aback.

"Yes! Severus, I learned it not too long ago! Are you going to learn? Cynthia lifted her white chin proudly.

"I, can I?"

"Of course! If you want to learn, I can teach you! As long as you want. Cynthia blinked.

"Thank you Cynthia! Is Friday, Friday night OK? Severus looked at the girl expectantly.

"No problem! See you at the Astronomy Tower on Friday night! There wasn't much of anyone there. ”

"Then we'll see you on Friday!" Severus happily returned to his bedroom.
