Chapter 41: Christmas is coming
A colorless, odorless gas filled the room, spilling out of the flask in Snape's hand.
Norlin felt a little stuffy in his chest, and his neck seemed to be stuck by something unknown, and he was a little out of breath after a long time.
Fortunately, Snape has only refined half of it, otherwise I am afraid that I would have confessed here in a daze today...... Norin thought speechlessly, of course, Snape wouldn't open it in front of Norin.
"How do you tell?"
Snape's tone was still as cold as it was to ask Norlin what he had for dinner.
"I know the effect of this poison...... And that pot of unicorns. ”
Norlin replied. The horn of the unicorn insect is an important auxiliary material for locking the throat poison gas, as for how he knows, so many books are naturally not in vain.
"You know it's throat gas, and you're still here?"
Snape glanced at Norlin and shouted.
"I've always had a hypothesis about whether the Abyssinian wrinkled fig can be used as another auxiliary material to refine the throat poison gas, and its medicinal properties are somewhat complementary to the horn of the unicorn insect."
After a long last remark, Norlin bowed slightly and strode out of Snape's office, closing the door before leaving.
Snape frowned, lost in thought. After a while, he put down the reagent bottle and stepped a few steps to the cabinet of potion materials, rummaging through the cabinet.
The door opened again, and Professor Krell, dressed in jet-black robes, stepped into the room, smiling and asking:
"How's that, Severus."
"Live up to Liana's bloodline."
Snape said as he looked at the fig in his hand, his eyes glinting with a strange light.
"I don't know where my sister is now...... Don't even tell me......"
Professor Krell sat in one of the few comfortable chairs in the room without notice, and the drinks on the shore flew to him spontaneously.
Snape expertly peeled the fig and said, "It's not a good thing to get up too fast. ”
"That's the norm in our family."
Professor Krell laughed, a faint pride in his voice.
Snape said no more, and silence returned to the room.
……
The weather has been surprisingly cold lately, and there are already flakes of snow in the sky. A faint layer of ice crystals appeared on the surface of the Black Lagoon, and the castle was stained with a layer of silver frost. Christmas is coming that both old and new students are looking forward to.
The castle had already begun to be decorated, and a few Christmas trees had been moved to the auditorium hall with Nolin's help. The trees are adorned with ornaments, the twinkling five-pointed stars glow, the branches are glowing with beautiful halos, and all kinds of young magical creatures are shuttling on them.
"Are you going back for the Christmas holidays?"
Zhang Qiu looked at a few beautiful Christmas trees, and unconsciously felt a little confused in his eyes, and asked a few people at the table who only cared about food.
"I'm going back. It's been a long time since I've seen little Ginny, and the cute little Ron. ”
The twins looked at each other and smiled maliciously. Ever since they learned about Norin's performance in Defence Against the Dark Arts class, they were immediately amazed at him, and they no longer treated him like an ordinary first-year student.
Now they are still planning with Lee Jordan how to pull Norlin into their small team, after all, there are still many benefits to being strong in magic, at least there are more ways to tease Filch.
"I'll go back too." Smith held a chicken leg in one hand, "I used to be away from home for no more than a week at most, and my mom must have missed me." ”
Looking down at a book that looked very old, Nolin, who had been smiling at the corner of his mouth, suddenly froze, and his smile gradually faded, Zhang Qiu noticed it and asked:
"Norlin, what about you?"
"Let's go back."
Norin sighed.
"Opportunity to come and play in my hometown. You haven't been to China yet, have you? It's a lovely place, completely different from the UK. ”
Zhang Qiu said with a smile.
Several people shook their heads. Norin's heart moved, saying that it had been eleven years since he left Huaxia, and he had the urge to go back and see. But there was still a lot to do lately, and he had to endure it.
He continued to bow his head, studying the strange runi script in the book. These words are like graceful girls, wearing a veil of mystery, which makes people's hearts sway and can only be viewed from a distance.
After a period of careful comparative study, he understood the meaning of the first two words on the Nameless Book. The result, as he expected, was "meditation".
Well, the first two words of meditation are "meditation", and there is nothing wrong with it......
Now, Norlin can barely make out most of the letters on the next page, and he expects to grasp the first page soon.
"Autumn, look, isn't that Hufflepuff's Diggory?"
Marietta Ekmo shook her head, and there were stars in her eyes.
Cedric Diggory and a roommate are working together to bring a new Christmas tree to the auditorium using a levitation charm.
Norlin glanced up at the Hufflepuff yard grass and sighed that Cedric really lived up to his reputation and was as handsome as he was.
Zhang Qiu also glanced back, but didn't say anything.
Cedric, who was busy, accidentally noticed the gaze of several people, and for some reason his face turned slightly red.
"Hey, Cedric!"
George stood up and waved his hand, shouting hello.
The Christmas tree fell to the ground, and Cedric, who was breathing a sigh of relief, hesitated when he heard this, and walked over with his roommate.
"Hello."
The voice is gentle, making people feel like a spring breeze.
It's been half a semester since I entered school, and several people naturally know each other, but there is no intersection on weekdays. The twins are acquainted with Cedric because Cedric is a second-year student, and they often ask him to copy his homework.
Cedric shook hands with a few people generously, and only when it was Zhang Qiu's turn did he unconsciously feel a little embarrassed.
Norin saw it in his eyes, laughed secretly, and once again sighed at the precociousness of the children in this world.
A sniffer suddenly emerged from the pocket of Cedric's robe, covered in black fuzz and with a long snout. Its nose sniffed hard into the air, its eyes lit up, and it went straight to Zhang Qiu's arms.
Zhang Qiu was startled and almost picked up the little thing and threw it out. But after seeing its cute appearance, her heart softened a little, and her attitude immediately changed, holding it in her arms and gently stroking it, and from time to time picking up the fries on the table and stuffing them into its mouth.
Sniff, who was lying in Zhang Qiu's arms, squinted comfortably, and scratched his teeth at Cedric, whose face was a little wrong.
Norin was dumbfounded, and when he looked at Cedric, who was handsome and extraordinarily handsome with thick eyebrows and big eyes, there was some inexplicable meaning in his eyes.
