Chapter 54: Potion and a stack of papers

After the Potions class ended, Zheng Qing didn't immediately follow his friends out of the classroom.

He stood hesitantly in the corridor at the door, holding "Standard Pharmacy: First Year of College", and from time to time he peeked in to look at the pharmacy professor at the lectern.

Professor Li is answering questions from today's lesson to a few studious young wizards.

It wasn't until the last student left that the professor finally noticed the young wizard standing in the doorway.

"Zheng Qing?" he walked out of the classroom with the courseware in his arms and asked in a surprised tone, "Is there anything else you don't understand about today's lesson?" Although your foundation is relatively poor, I think with Xiao Xiao's help, there should be no problem in keeping up with the teaching progress......, right?"

The bluntness of these words is a bit harsh.

Zheng Qing was stunned for a moment, and almost forgot everything he wanted to ask.

The young student's mouth opened and closed again, repeating it three times, and finally regurgitating from his stomach what he wanted to ask before.

"No problem, Professor. Zheng Qing denied very politely: "Your lesson today is very exciting...... I feel very benefited and there is nothing I don't understand. ”

"It's good if you don't have it, it's good if you understand. Professor Li looked very satisfied, nodded again and again, but was a little puzzled: "Then ...... you are waiting at the door?"

"Well, it's a precursor to a bit of a headache these days...... I don't know if it's because there are too many things going on in the school hunting party. The young public student lowered his head and added abruptly: "Isn't it the beginning of October, I wonder if I should take a pill before the full moon, so ...... Professor Yao told me that I need to ask you to get the relevant medicine......"

"Headache?potion?" Professor Li was stunned for a moment before he suddenly said, "Oh...... It's the transformation potion that Lao Yao mentioned earlier!"

Zheng Qing nodded his head quickly, revealing a sincere smile.

"You just said that you can get the Transfiguration Potion. The professor shook his head and led the young wizard towards the staircase, "Well, it's just the tail of the beginning of the month, and it's indeed the last window to take the Transfiguration Potion...... Come with me to the office, I just need you to sign a few papers. ”

Zheng Qing's face suddenly turned a little pale.

Although he had made sufficient mental preparations, he still felt a little congested when he heard this sad news at first glance.

Professor Richmond's office is known as a no-go place for students.

It's not that the pharmacy professor has set up some deadly mechanism in his office, but his office is a place where it's hard for 'ordinary wizards' to stay.

Maybe it's because the professor often piles up the crucibles for boiling medicine and the herbs that haven't been completely dried in his office, maybe it's because he never minds leaving the barrel full of salted herring open next to the cupboard, or maybe it's just because the fume hood in his office is broken.

There's always a strange smell in the pharmacy professor's office.

It's like the musty smell of a long-closed basement, then mixed with rotting grass and sea fish, and finally sprinkled with a few pounds of pungent formaldehyde.

So much so that almost all the students firmly believe that Professor Li Qihuang has no sense of smell.

His nose is just an ornament.

"Or ...... Shall I wait for you in the laboratory first?" the young student struggled in a weak tone.

"Lab?" Professor Li turned his head in surprise and glanced at the young wizard, "Why did you go to the lab?"

Zheng Qing was also a little stunned.

"Don't you need to go to the laboratory to boil medicine?" he still hoped to be as far away from the horrible office as possible, and struggled with all his might, "I can go to the laboratory and light the fire for you first...... Heat up the crucible or rub a few jars and tubes with alcohol......"

"What a hard worker. Professor Li stretched out his hand with a smile, grabbed Zheng Qing's shoulder, shook it, and refused with satisfaction: "But you are wrong...... I have a Transfiguration Potion in my office, you just need to sign a few names and get it...... It's not a hundred years ago, and we didn't need to boil it ourselves. ”

Zheng Qing's eyes were dark, and he stumbled under his feet, almost falling down the stairs.

......

......

Professors seem to be able to use some handy spells in the stairwells of the teaching building, such as the office around the corner, and they can switch to where they want to go when they open the door.

Professor Li is no exception.

Zheng Qing followed the professor into the office, and after trying to hold his breath for a minute, he was desperate to find that the strange smell seemed to be seeping down his skin and into his lungs.

Completely irresistible.

To his horror, after only two minutes in the office, he seemed to be getting used to the smell of the room.

If you go back with this strange smell, I'm afraid that even your own elves will hide far away. The young public student was heartbroken, and his mind was filled with the image of the gypsy witch hiding her nose and fleeing in panic, and she became more and more depressed.

"Come, sign this 'Special Pharmacy Application Form'," Professor Li rummaged through his desk for a moment, then pulled out a stack of documents: "There are also these - the 'First University Outstanding Student Subsidy Program', 'Merlin Medal Recipients' Preferential Accommodation Policy', and 'Temporary Resolution of the Joint Conference of Professors'...... Well, sign these copies first to indicate that you have read these documents. ”

"And then there's these β€” 'Authorization for Simulation of Nian Zi Force Field,' 'Authorization for Retention of Body Surface Cells,' 'Authorization for Blood Retention'β€”these are the physical backups you need to keep at the first university when you use the potion. ”

"Finally, there's the 'Wizarding Alliance's Registered Transfiguration User Registration Form' and the 'Transfiguration Potion User Declaration'...... This is a procedure prescribed by law and is also signed. ”

Zheng Qing was dizzy by this series of strange file names. He pinched his nose, took the quill, and signed his name in the blank space in the lower right corner of the pile of papers, almost with his eyes closed.

Professor Li seemed stunned for a moment.

"Hmm...... While I appreciate your trust, I must point out that your actions are somewhat reckless. The professor hesitated, and finally admonished, "Don't sign any document that you haven't read in detail...... Didn't your guardian tell you how terrible the magic files were?"

Zheng Qing was also stunned.

He nodded immediately, then shook his head quickly.

"No, I don't have a guardian in the wizarding world. He denied it, admitting, "But I know you can't just sign a magic contract...... Are these documents also part of a magical contract?"

"Any document that needs to be signed is a deed...... The difference is only that they are obligatory. Professor Li put away the papers, put them in a brown paper bag, and stuffed them into the drawer of his desk: "Next time, remember not to be so casual......"

With that, he raised his head, rubbed his hands together, and his gaze wandered between the glass windows on either side of his desk.

"And finally...... Transfiguration Potion. ”

The professor muttered softly, leaning over to the glass vitrine, and began to carefully distinguish the tiny nameplates on them.
