There was nothing unusual about what the wand was pointing at.

"What's wrong?" Startled, Ron's voice trembled.

Harry narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath, "Just now I felt a powerful aura approaching us. ”

"Are you feeling wrong?" Ron looked around in fear, pulled out his wand, stammered, and recited the spell twice before releasing the Lighting Charm, "Could it be the breath of some dark magic books?" ”

Harry shook his head, "People and things don't smell the same. ”

Ron's face turned pale, and he clenched his wand.

He slowly drew his wand back, "Hurry up and find that book, I'm very uncomfortable here." ”

"Powerful Elixir" is not difficult to find, and it will be found quickly.

Ron held his wand.

Harry quickly copied down the prescription, and abbreviated a summary of the notes on the two pages or so.

They went back to their dorm rooms and read them carefully.

Ron had a headache: "This potion is so complicated. ”

"But it's strong, isn't it?" Harry's eyes lit up, "And there's not a lot of material needed. ”

"Lacewings, antimony, leeches, ......"

The combination of minerals and herbs, and the savage use of some of these medicinal properties, opened his eyes to how the many elixirs of the witchers could be realized in this world, and he began to have some ideas.

It wasn't until almost three o'clock in the morning that Harry turned off the lights and yawned, "When we wake up tomorrow, we'll go look at the medicine cabinet in the Potions classroom." ”

"If the materials are complete, we don't have to worry about the materials."

Ron was dazed, lying on the bed in a posture of inviting you into the urn, muttering, "Okay... Good. ”

He didn't have the energy of Harry, and he couldn't hold it anymore.

The next day, they got up.

The Potions classroom was still open to the public during the holidays, and some of the fifth- and seventh-grade students who had to get an "O" in their exams did not have an easy Christmas day.

There are many medicinal herbs in the student storage cabinet, and there are also mineral metals, but only... Two of the most important materials were missing.

Powder of bicornus horn, snake skin of African tree snake.

Harido took some medicinal herbs and took them away disguised as ingredients for brewing three potions.

Wait out of the classroom.

Ron breathed a sigh of relief: "It's terrible that the senior can't even go home for Christmas." ”

"They don't look at us better than you look at them." Harry shook his head, "In their eyes, you may be the kind of... A good student who works hard in the first grade. ”

Ron twisted his neck awkwardly.

He is not bad, but the words "good student" do not quite match his style.

"Maybe Professor Snape will change your senses because of it." Harry teased, "Doesn't he be kind to Hermione now?" ”

"I wonder if you have some misunderstanding of 'Pleasant Face'." Ron shuddered.

Potions class.

There was a three-man assignment, and Snape would give a tirade.

Harry would be scolded for being bloody.

Malfoy tends to get the most compliments.

And then there's Hermione, and Snape won't target her the way he does Harry, but... Out of respect for Gryffindor, he wouldn't have any good words in his mouth.

The other lion cubs were terrified.

On the contrary, the two parties did not think so, and even wished that Snape could scold a few more words.

"What about the remaining two materials?" After walking away, making sure that there was no one around, Ron complained, "Professor Snape's storage must be there." ”

Harry shook his head, "I don't think stealing from a professor would be a wise choice. ”

Ron sighed, "What then?" ”

"Hogsmeade." Harry stopped abruptly and looked out the window, "We can go there and have a look." ”

Ron was stunned for a moment and frowned: "But that's a place where third-year wizards can go, and you have to get permission from your parents......"

"We might want to ask your brother." Harry continued to walk forward, "They know of the many secret passages at Hogwarts, and maybe one leads to Hogsmeade. ”

Ron's brow was still tightened: "But what do we tell them?" ”

"Say... Are we going to buy the ingredients for the compound decoction? ”

Harry glanced at Ron strangely, "Leaving the material aside, don't you want to go to Hogsmeade?" ”

Ron was stunned.

"Isn't it normal for a young wizard to want to go to Hogsmeade?" Harry continued to ask rhetorically.

They returned to the break room.

The Weasley brothers rarely didn't go out to toss.

"George." Harry sat down next to one of them, "I have something I want to ask you. ”

The man said, "No, I'm Fred. ”

"You're George." Harry corrected, "This trick didn't work for me. ”

George muttered, "Oh no, Harry, how did you do that?" Tell us so precisely every time. ”

"I want to go to Hogsmeade, do you have a way?" Harry asked straight to the point.

Fred raised an eyebrow: "You're going to Hogsmeade?" It's not a good time to ......."

"I can't stay at Hogwarts all Christmas." Harry looked helpless, "Most of my friends are home. ”

George smiled: "Then you have found the right person, we know the seven secret passages to Hogsmeade." ”

"And Filch only knows four." Fred pinched his waist and was rightly arrogant.

Ron held up his hands, "Awesome, George, Fred, I knew you must know." ”

"Harry can go." "But little Ronnie, you can't." ”

Ron widened, "Why?!" ”

"Harry is great, he can kill a troll." Fred was weird, "And you can only be killed by a troll." ”

"Maybe you're no match for a Flober caterpillar."

George paused, "And Harry looks mature, except for his size, he looks a lot like a big child." ”

"And you're still a little ghost, my dear little Ronnie." Fred spread his hands, "It's still a little Ronnie who only cries for her mother." ”

Ron blushed and shouted, "Fred, George! ”

"Our little Ronnie is angry again." George exclaimed, "Do you need to ask Harry if he borrowed Hedwig and wrote a letter to his mother to complain about us?" ”

Ron gritted his teeth, "I'm going to turn you both into a stinking mass of sooner or later." ”

"It's two regiments." Fred stood up and patted Ron on the shoulder, "Me and him, it's two, not one. ”

"We'll bring you candy when we get back." George rubbed Ron's head hard, "How's the cockroach pile, it's a sweet that Headmaster Dumbledore loves." ”

"I think Spider Candy would be a better fit for little Ronnie."

"Is there any candy like this?"

"Maybe we can ask Duke Bee to cast a Transfiguration Charm."

Ron's body was trembling.

"When I know the secret passage, we can go together next time." Harry whispered to Ron to comfort him, which made him feel better.

George and Fred can't wait.

Harry went back to his dorm and made some preparations—two balls of socks tucked into his shoes to make him look taller, a sorting hat tucked under his robes, and seven or eight potions around his waist—

Neville's failed version of the scabies potion, the water of life and death, the eight-eyed spider venom he got from Hagrid......

He restyled his hair, thought about it, and put on the sunglasses that Snape had given him—he didn't like them, but the witcher's eyes were too recognizable.

"Harry, you've changed." George was amazed, "What's on your face, it's a little handsome." ”

Harry replied, "This is Professor Snape's Christmas present to us. ”

The two of them were immediately silent, eager to eat back the words they had just praised.

Under Ron's envious gaze, they led Harry out of the lounge to a mirror on the fifth floor, George looked around, carefully took out his wand, and tapped it lightly on the mirror: "Manifestation." ”

The mirror's water ripples and becomes glass-like, revealing a passage hidden behind the mirror.

"Come on, Harry." George walked in first.

Fred pushed Harry inside.

"It's one of our favorites." George lit his wand and led the way, "The road is flat, the space is open, and you can walk upright." ”

Fred sighed: "If you want to talk about the shortcomings, it is that this secret passage is almost old, and when we used it last year, a large dirt bag was smashed down by rubbing George's nose. ”

"It's a pity, if only I could hit my head."

George turned around and kicked Fred, "Damn it, what are you talking about." ”

Fred patted his robe, "And the end is also good, in a very hidden corner of Hogsmeade, unlike the other two secret passages. ”

"One of the entrances is under the beating willows."

"One exit is in Duke Bee's shop."

"Last time we were almost caught as thieves."

The secret passage was long, and they walked for a quarter of an hour before they reached the end, crawling out of another mirror in an abandoned hut.

"Harry, where are you going?" George and Fred were in high spirits, but had no intention of leaving Harry's side to go about their activities.

"Let's go buy candy first." Harry thought about it for a moment, and he couldn't shake the two of them off.

Bought some candy for Ron.

On the recommendation of the Weasley brothers, some prank props were purchased.

Quills, parchment, some books.

Last stop, head to the Potions Ingredient Shop.

"Do you have the skin of an African tree snake here?" Harry spoke.

The owner of the material store said in a strange tone: "You want this?" We don't have it, it's contraband, my dear little wizard. ”

Harry nodded, his face unchanged, and continued to inquire about other relatively rare materials.

The bicorn's horn powder is mixed in with it, but alas... This is also contraband.

Harry took the money and bought the rest of the material he said.

Fred and George looked at the golden Garon with some envy in their eyes - they had been in school for three years, and they didn't even spend half as much money as Harry had done this time.

Just walked out of the material store.

A man in a black robe hurriedly walked out of their footsteps, stopped in front of Harry, and lowered his voice: "Little wizard of Hogwarts? ”

"I have the ingredients you need, bicorne horn powder, fire ash snake eggs, African tree snake skin......"
