Chapter 36: Directions for Potions Research
Christmas is just around the corner.
Time flies.
In a hurry for more than a month, too much has happened.
The first thing Wood was worried about, and Harry really didn't make it in time for the Ravenclaw game.
As a result, Wood had to find a new man from the fourth year to replace Harry, despite their hard work. But in the end, he lost the game.
It was a five-hour game.
The score was a dead bite, mainly because the Weasley Twins had to put a lot of effort into protecting their team's new Seeker.
This allowed Ravenclaw to constantly find gaps in the Gryffindor team and attack.
Back to the new Seeker who succeeded Harry.
His performance can't be described as terrible, but it can also be called a mess.
Forget about sleepwalking throughout the game, the main thing is that he has problems with the execution of even some of the most basic tactical positions.
Either they got in the way of the chaser, or they disrupted their tactical arrangements by flying around. It can be said that this is a three-wave competition.
Gryffindor, Ravenclaw and that new Seeker.
At the end of the game, not to mention what Gryffindor thought of him, even the Ravenclaw players were disgusted with him.
Because you can cook, but you can't not understand nothing, his flight trajectory is not only confusing to his own people, even Ravenclaw is disgusted.
Can you imagine your team, whether it's offensive or defensive or retreating, there is always a second-hand cargo riding a broom next to it to get in the way.
What would be your mood?
The point is, if this is a tactic, then Morse Isidor (captain Ravenclaw) also admits it, and says that your tactic 'emetic effect is really good'.
But that guy is obviously just a simple dish, and he is disgusting even with his own team......
After this game, Wood was deeply convinced of a point. That is, the Gryffindor team can't live without Harry, just like the Westerners can't lose Jerusalem.
Of course, Melda, who was the culprit for Harry's inability to play, was deducted fifty points by Professor McGonagall.
Here's how it went.
In fact, Harry was almost fully recovered by the end of November.
This is mainly Melda's various therapeutic grinds. Plus the credit of his physique potion.
But as Harry's injuries gradually improved, Melda became more and more self-indulgent.
Over the next half month, Harry was tricked into being the subject of Melda's research on new potions.
It was for this reason that Harry did not have time to participate in the game in the end.
Of course, for Melda, his research is more valuable than the 50 points deducted by Professor McGonagall.
Through his research, Melda discovered that the specific effects of this new potion were fundamentally different from those of traditional potions.
It appears to act directly on the human body. It is to reactivate some of the hidden things that the human body itself has, or to amplify and strengthen some of the explicit things.
Harry, for example, was a girl because he had the powerful magic of love left behind by his mother, Lily, which made the potion itself work incorrectly.
Because in the eyes of the potion, Harry's body (magic) was a girl in itself, and it only brought out some of the qualities that belonged to his mother Lily, such as longer hair and fairer skin.
This meant that the potion was to be used on other people, or after Harry was 18 years old. It does not allow the user to change gender.
Harry was a special case, so to speak, a special case that originated from his mother's dear.
The most surprising thing about Melde was that after being devastated by him, Harry inexplicably showed an unusual talent for potions and herbs.
Even Snape had to admit that Harry seemed to have opened his mind after the injury.
Now he could easily distinguish the herbs that were indistinguishable in his eyes. You can also make any kind of potion in the first-year potions class without making any mistakes.
To Melda, it seemed as if Harry had 'activated' his mother's aptitude for potions.
This is also a blessing in disguise.
Melda's research into potions continues, but something else happens. Let him take a break from the study for a while.
——————————————
One morning in mid-December, Hogwarts School woke up from a dream to find that it was covered with several feet of snow and that the lake was covered with hard ice.
In the morning auditorium, a few owls are covered in snowflakes delivering mail.
Melda expertly picked up the Prophet Forecast on the table. This is what he subscribed to.
Although it was almost impossible for the Prophet to predict any important news, it was the only way he could get news from the wizarding world right now.
"Oh! Someone even demanded compensation from Gringotts! Melda said with a smile.
A group of greedy goblins, it is impossible to deduct money from their hands.
"What's going on?" Hermione asked, confused.
"I know all about the Gringotts break-in on July 31."
Everyone knew about it, and Harry had learned about it from the newspaper not long after the school year started. At that time, he had not yet connected the series of events.
But ever since Snape's Treasure Theft, Harry and Hermione Ron had already guessed that the treasure that the three-headed dog was guarding was Hagrid's one that Hagrid had brought from Gringotts.
"The murderer has never been caught in that matter."
"The other day there was a guy who said he had lost something in his warehouse at Gringotts. Claim compensation from Gringotts. ”
"It's crazy." Ron scoffed, "It's wishful thinking to take money out of a goblin's pocket. ”
Hermione, who was on the side, was not very happy about Ron's remarks about directly attacking a species, but the facts were the facts, and the goblins were notoriously greedy, and she had no way to refute anything.
"Oh, there's one more thing!" Melta saw a message from the corner of the newspaper.
"A museum in the Edinburgh area of Scotland was looted by unknown people yesterday and a large number of its collections were lost."
"Huh?" Hermione suddenly looked up and said, "Museum? Is it the Greater Glasgow Museum? ”
"Have you been?"
"Well, when I was a kid, my parents took me there, and I remember it was a beautiful place, with a lot of medieval buildings around. Minarets of palaces, churches and castles. The museum has many precious collections, some of which are more than a thousand years old. ”
Hermione skillfully talked about the scenery of Edinburgh, and it seemed that she had really been there. Then she suddenly said, "It's just, you know. How could a Muggle museum be in the Daily Prophet? ”
"Because..."
Melda closed the newspaper. Said calmly: "Because that's my family's business." ”
