On the carriage, Fudge's fat face turned red, and he shouted, "A bunch of scum don't take me as Minister of Magic in the slightest. With the Ministry of Magic's nearly 20,000 galleons a month to serve these broken stones, I have to inform them in advance if I come, is this like a word? ”

"Calvin, did you find anything in Stonehenge?"

Calvin didn't say a word, his index finger to his lips, motioning for Fudge not to speak, and then tapped his right hand on Fudge's left shoulder, as if picking up something.

Fudge looked at Calvin with a match-head-sized metal bug in his right hand, and couldn't help but be shocked: "This, this is..."

Calvin squeezed his hand, read it into a puff of ashes, opened the window of the carriage, and threw it outside, before he spoke: "Connelly, you Minister of Magic, you deserve to fail." ”

"What's that, Calvin." Fudge's fat face trembled and he asked tremblingly.

"An alchemical artifact that is often used for eavesdropping." Calvin said lightly, "But it's quite advanced, it should be a new product from France in recent years, and the protective magic in your office may not be able to prevent it." ”

Fudge's face turned pale, "Calvin, my friend, I think you have a way to help me with this, huh?" Help me upgrade my office's protective magic. ”

Fudge was really scared, he did a lot of dirty things in the office, such as maintaining a special cooperative relationship with the senior assistant to the minister two days ago. He didn't want it to be seen or heard.

Calvin rubbed his chin and smiled, "Connelly, of course it's not a problem, but I have to have a proper identity, you know, otherwise I think there will be a lot of people in the Ministry of Magic who won't be happy." ”

"Ahh ”

"That couldn't be better," Calvin pulled a scroll from his sleeve and handed it to Fudge, "hang this in your office, and all the alchemical products on the market will be invalid." ”

Fudge unfolded the scroll and glanced at the star map of the solar system, and asked with some suspicion, "Is this okay?" ”

"Of course, you won't have to worry about eavesdropping on what you say for at least ten years." Calvin nodded.

"Then I'll be relieved," Fudge rolled up the paper, "can you solve the problem of Stonehenge?" ”

Calvin hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth, "It's hard to say, I'm not completely sure for the time being." ”

"That's over, I guess McMillan will come to me again in a few days to ask for money." Fudge's face was sad, "Calvin, look at this... Otherwise, you can donate some more. ”

"Connelly, have you never been exposed to the potions used by the Department of Mysteries to suppress Stonehenge?" Calvin simply ignored Fudge's request for money.

"Yes, MacMillan said that this is the top secret of the Ministry of Magic, even if I am the minister, I can't know it, and it can only be obtained by the unanimous approval of all the silent people in the Department of Mysteries." Fudge was a little impatient, "What's the use of talking about this?" ”

"I've got a sample of potions in Stonehenge, and I can try to restore it so you don't be so passive in front of the silent people." Calvin pulled out a crystal bottle containing a small amount of purple potion.

Fudge frowned, and finally asked slowly, "Can you reduce the cost of potions?" ”

"I can try."

"I'll give you two months, Calvin." Fudge's breathing became heavy, "I'll give you whatever you want." ”

"Let's put it that way." Calvin smiled and put the crystal bottle back in his sleeve.

After separating from Fudge, Calvin immediately returned to Hogwarts.

It was nearly evening, and instead of going straight back to his office, Calvin went to the basement, Snape's office.

After knocking, the office door opened a crack, revealing Snape's gloomy face and long, greasy hair.

"Calvin ~ Capet," Snape prolonged, "why are you coming to me so late?" ”

"I'd like to ask you some questions about potions," Calvin said sincerely, "you're the second best person I've ever known in potions. ”

"Hmph," Snape scoffed, "I remember you said you wouldn't provoke me with such childish tactics again, and that you wouldn't even have a good memory when you went to France?" ”

Calvin laughed and said, "Snape, I think you misunderstood, the number one person in Potions I'm talking about is not Lily, it's Professor Slughorn. ”

Snape's big hooked nose twitched, and he opened the office door: "Come in, I'll see what is stumbling Mr. Cape, who is famous on the continent." ”

Snape's office was unusually dimly lit due to its underground location, with only a few oil lamps providing a faint glow.

Calvin didn't like this environment, and with a snap of his right hand, a shining point of light flew out of his thumb and floated to the top of the office, illuminating the entire room, which allowed Calvin to see the whole office clearly.

"You live with these things every day," Calvin said, pointing to the toad specimens on the shelves by the wall, "can you sleep?" Won't you have nightmares? ”

Snape glanced at him, waved his hand, extinguished Calvin's light, and said coldly, "I'll do Occlumency." ”

Calvin hummed noncommittally and took out a crystal bottle containing a purple potion and placed it on the table, "That's it, I don't think it's a problem for you. ”

Snape opened the cap of the bottle, sniffed it under his nose, and then said, "The main ingredients are dragon's blood, moonstone, Mosken grass juice, salamander blood, and Hoklap juice, and the secondary ingredients must be analyzed by magic." ”

Snape pulled out his wand and applied the Scarpin Manifestation Charm to the potion in the crystal bottle, but to the surprise of the two, the spell did not analyze all the ingredients of the potion.

"Huh?" Snape was a little surprised, picked up the crystal bottle and looked at it for a while, "Cape, where did you get this potion, there are anti-reverse measures." ”

"Ministry of Magic, Department of Mysteries." Calvin said vaguely.

Snape put down the crystal bottle and looked at Calvin in the dim light, "Department of Mysteries? There are a lot of pure-blood antiques in it, how did you mess with them? ”

"It's not that serious, Snape," Calvin snorted, "just got these potions by chance, or are you scared and don't want to get in trouble?" Then I'll go to Professor Slughorn. ”

With that, he was ready to pick up the crystal bottle and walk out the door.

Snape caught up and snatched the crystal bottle, and said coldly, "You come and get it in a week." ”

"Then it's hard for you, Severus."

"We're not quite acquainted yet, Ka~Pe."
