Chapter Eighty-Four: A Strange Potion

Luke saw that Hermione's eyes were not moving, and his open mouth never closed, so he immediately slapped Toris.

Toris let out an aggrieved 'snort', then straightened up and slammed Luke's head twice, but it didn't hurt after all. After that, he got back into the inner pocket like a little man, and stretched out his tail to buckle the inner pocket.

I don't know if I'm still unhappy, and I poked my head out and spit out at Luke, and then shrank back.

Such a gesture also made Luke a little crying and laughing.

Hermione, on the other side, didn't feel the playfulness and coquettishness of Toris, and after coming back to her senses, beads of sweat the size of beans oozed from the corners of her forehead, and she couldn't help but breathe a lot heavily. Looking at Luke's hidden inner pocket, his face was full of horror.

"Relax, relax. The little one has no ill intentions, but next time you'd better call 'her' or just call Toris. ”

Luke was also quite helpless, he didn't expect that Toris would care so much about the title. But the humanity and intelligence of this little guy really shouldn't be called 'it'.

As for the absence of malice, if there is real malice, it will not be just slow. Not even petrified, let alone the snake eyes that directly killed them.

Hermione finally came to her senses, and then asked in surprise, "What is she?" ”

In addition to surprise, doubt, and curiosity, there was also this fear and fear.

Looking at Luke's eyes was also quite complicated, obviously thinking of a lot of things in an instant. And just now, she really felt despair and fear.

Isn't it a bit too much for Luke to keep such a dangerous magical animal in school.

Naturally, her mind couldn't hide it from Luke, but Luke didn't expect the two of them to have such a contradiction, so she could only explain: "Toris is a basilisk, but it's a very strange basilisk, I don't even think she's a simple basilisk." ”

"So what kind of magical creature she is, I'm curious."

"Don't worry, Toris is still quite obedient, really obedient."

Luke knew that his explanation was somewhat weak, but there was really no way to give a more effective example. You can't just say to Hermione, 'Just because you're alive means she's obedient.'"

So he was also a little embarrassed.

"This time it was just an accident, I'll go back and discipline her well."

Saying this, I only felt that there was a commotion in my inner pocket again, but finally there was no other moth.

Hermione finally calmed down, and after breathing a sigh of relief, the look in Luke's eyes changed a little. Although she is still young, she also knows that those who can tell you this kind of thing are real friends.

So she was quite satisfied with what Luke had told her. Although this way of telling is somewhat peculiar.

"As I remember, the basilisk is one of the most dangerous magical creatures."

Hermione wasn't usually very interested in magical beasts, so she had only heard of the name Basilisk.

"Yes, it's dangerous, but it's not like it's not without it in the school."

As soon as these words came out, Hermione herself was stunned. Wasn't it nothing? How to start with this.

However, Luke didn't elaborate, just said, "You'll find out later." ”

Hermione only told Luke when he was ready, she didn't expect that she would have this basilisk in the original worldline.

"So you're here for Doris's clues?"

Hermione asked again, but as soon as she finished speaking, she asked herself, "Then you should have to look for the bookshelf to the east." But if it has anything to do with the basilisk...... I'm sure you'll have to ask Professor McGonagall for a note. ”

"I know that, as far as the basilisk is concerned, there are probably few people who know more than me." Luke is not boasting, but just expounding the facts, "Except for the founder of the basilisk, our family should be the one who knows the basilisk best." But what kind of secret is behind this basilisk is still puzzling. ”

"After all, the way the basilisk was born is still a bit too bizarre."

A seven-year-old rooster lays a magic egg when Sirius is in the sky and is hatched by a toad.

In the wizarding world, this kind of thing is not easy to do, but it is impossible to say that it is rare. It is estimated that there is no one at Hogwarts who can't do it.

Even Hagrid could do it, but even Hagrid was shy away from such a dangerous creature without much spirituality.

Hermione didn't know much about these things, so she didn't say anything more, just nodded.

"You must be measured."

She had always believed in Luke. And Luke is much better than her in most subjects. Naturally, she didn't think she could inspire Luke in the subjects he was good at.

Luke nodded as well, and then spoke, "You've been keeping an eye on Harry and Ron lately, these two guys have been trying to make big news lately. ”

Hermione couldn't help but have a little headache when she heard the names 'Harry' and 'Ron', in her eyes, these two were the king of deductions, naughty ghosts, and dragging her feet.

If you don't do anything useful, you won't be left behind in the things that drag down the entire college. So far, Gryffindor has scored a little and half on the heads of both of them.

The other half is counted on the twins and Lee Jordan.

But Hermione couldn't help them after all, so she could only look at them coldly and not give them a good look.

Now that Luke has given such a task, she is somewhat embarrassed. After all, even if she saw those two people now, she felt that their faces were hateful.

When I think about it, there is a person in my dorm room who feels that Ron is handsome, and everyone who admires Harry a little bit except himself.

Whenever she talked about this kind of topic, she felt like an outsider in the dormitory.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Luke, staring at that handsome face, a little helpless,

When it comes to Harry, they still have disagreements, but when it comes to Luke, they don't have any differences.

Good looks, good family background, good personality, good talent, good popularity.

So good that they didn't dare to approach him.

Only Hermione was an exception. Hermione and Luke are very close, and everyone sees this.

Seriously, Hermione sometimes felt that she was ostracized by others, and there wasn't necessarily a reason for Luke.

Although Luke is to blame for this kind of thing, it is somewhat unreasonable.

"Okay, I'll keep an eye on both of them, but you'll have to fix my Transfiguration on the weekend."

Hermione agreed, but offered a quid pro quo.

"No problem, just leave it to me."

Luke also gladly promised. He knew very well that Hermione was not his own subordinate now, but one of the future subordinates he was subduing.

The current interaction with each other cannot be done in the above way.

Not to mention...... He also knew that Hermione would not become a subordinate so easily. Friendship was the best way to tie in, and of course, he recognized Hermione as a friend worth dating.

Briefly explained to Hermione, and asked the smart Hermione to help her keep an eye on the two guys who were full of trouble, and would inadvertently make something big.

Saying it to your face is to reassure people. secretly looking for someone to watch, in order to reassure yourself. Seriously, Luke was scared that Harry and Ron would suddenly make some big news.

Especially when such big news is not under your control.

The two of them walked out of the library together, it was time for class, unfortunately, it was another Potions class today, of course, Luke didn't like Potions class, but Hermione still liked it.

Because this is one of the few classes she can take to overpower Luke.

Of course, in this class, it is still not her who is in the limelight......

"Slytherin! Plus five points! ”

"Excellent! Taylor! Snape looked at the apparently out-of-the-box potion that Taylor had brewed, and smiled with satisfaction, though a little stiff and unpleasant, but undoubtedly a smile.

Taylor smiled shyly at Snape, not paying attention to the envious gaze of the crowd.

This batch of first-year limelight, Luke's Transfiguration, Hermione's History of Magic, Neville's Herbology, Taylor's Potions, Harry's Flying Lesson......

Although each has its own brilliance, it is clearly beyond everyone's big cut, that is, Luke's Transfiguration and Taylor's Potions, and Harry's flying lessons. None of the others have reached the state where others are out of reach.

Snape looked at Taylor with great satisfaction, and then glanced coldly at Luke on the side. With a snort, he walked in Harry's direction.

He knew that Luke, this guy, must have been guided by Taylor by his side. He didn't bother to pay attention to it and let Luke go.

Although this kid has always been paddling in his class, the talented student respects him openly and secretly. The students couldn't see it, they just thought the two were close.

But a few of the professors are blind, and Luke and Taylor are close, but they can also faintly see the difference between the top and the bottom.

vertex

Snape didn't like it, of course, but he couldn't say anything either. It can only be out of sight and out of mind.

Seeing Snape leave, Taylor began to teach Luke how to make the potions that were supposed to be brewed in this class.

In this class, they had to practice the combination of medicinal properties, so this bottle of potion used to diagnose and treat a minor illness such as a cold used a full 74 kinds of potions that were not precious, but very complex.

The sequence before and after, and the time when the herbs are put in, are all complicated. In the end, there are so many medicinal materials, and the medicine that comes out of the fusion can only be used to treat colds with force.

This thing obviously has no commercial value, but it is excellent for teaching students.

I don't know if Snape found Brother Zhi's weird recipe from the book, or if he researched it himself.

But regardless of the latter or the former, Snape was still a good professor after all, although he didn't say it.

"Well, here's for you."

Luke watched Snape walk away and pulled the little potions vial from his belt. If you look closely, there is also a shallow bottom inside.

Taylor took the potion vial, and then asked curiously, "What is this?" ”

She didn't ask why there was only so much left.

Actually, Luke didn't expect this thing to be so powerful last night, and he almost didn't even save it.

If you go to bed last night and turn over, there will be nothing left this morning.

"The potion that Dumbledore gave me, I don't know what it is, but it's not simple, it seems to replenish mental power."

Luke's face didn't change, and as he spoke, he placed the materials on the crucible.

He wasn't good at the magic that helped shape potions, but when it came to memorizing potions, he had no problem memorizing potions. He was confident that he would be able to brew this potion within three defeats.

Luke was boiling the medicine on his side, and Taylor opened the pill bottle and fanned his finger in front of his nose. Then she suddenly felt refreshed, and her whole person was three points lighter, and even a little fluttering.

However, she quickly came back to her senses, and quickly closed the lid while the fragrance did not spread.

Looking at Luke, who was concentrating on boiling potions, she said frankly, "I have never seen such a potion. It's amazing that you can't analyze the material just by smelling it. ”

As he spoke, Taylor looked at the potion bottle with only one bottom left: "It's too little to drink, and it's impossible to analyze it." ”

The brewing of potions is inherently complex. What's more, the stronger potions master will add a little material that does not affect the potion effect, but can change the taste, after their potion is completed.

Make sure that your potions won't be easily deduced by others.

"It's okay, I'll go back and ask Dumbledore for a bottle."

Luke said nonchalantly.

Taylor opened his mouth, stunned for a moment, and then waved his hand to hit Luke, but seeing that Luke's potion brewing had also reached a critical time, it was okay to speak, and it was absolutely impossible to disrupt his rhythm and movements.

Speaking of which, she looked at the beads of sweat from Luke's forehead that had been roasted by the fire, and the tense face, and she was a little amused for a while.

Luke always seemed to be so wise, and although he was only eleven years old, he was like an adult, old and reliable. There has never been a noble shelf in front of them, but the attention to etiquette, food, etc., is much more exaggerated than Malfoy.

Compared to Malfoy, who always made himself look like a noble young master, Luke suddenly reminded everyone that he was a real noble young master.

And when Luke is so nervous in front of him, it's really rare. But Taylor can understand him, too. He didn't care about the potion, but he didn't want to have such an obvious shortcoming. Talent may not be good, but at least you have to work harder than others.

Throwing in the towel is not Luke's style.

So Taylor showed a gentle smile. But soon, she used her peripheral vision to see a guy over there sneakily approaching the two of them.
