Chapter 158: Truth Potion Mixed in a Potion
"What do you say...... Is there an empty room under the trapdoor? ”
The next morning, when Fred and George learn about it from Kyle, their expressions are exactly the same as Cedric's.
Shocked, skeptical, incredulous.
Because of the trapdoor, they didn't sleep well all night last night, and as soon as they closed their eyes, the hideous and terrifying appearance of the three-headed dog appeared in their minds.
They were too curious about what it was that made them worthy of being guarded by a three-headed dog.
What are the papers for the final exam?
Or the sword of Gryffindor!
The two guessed for a night, and didn't sleep for a little until it was dawn.
Now, Kyle actually told them that there were just a few empty rooms under the trapdoor?
Fred and George couldn't take it a bit.
What about a good expedition...... What about the good pass...... Co-authored Dumbledore just found a place to keep a dog in the castle?
This is too perfunctory, isn't it so foolish.
"Those rooms can't be empty all the time." Kyle patted Fred on the shoulder and comforted, "I think it's just the beginning of the school year, and the professors are too busy to set it up."
We can go back later, let's say Halloween, or the Christmas holidays. ”
"You're right." Fred sighed and said, "It looks like we won't need to go there anytime soon, just enough to find the last word of the password." ”
"I think it's better to forget it." Cedric put down the pumpkin juice in his hand and said, "Hogwarts is so big, you may not be able to find it even after you graduate." ”
"No, it won't."
George shook his head and said, "The makers of the Living Point Map don't hide the clues of the password in those meaningless places. ”
"The first password clue we found was on Filch's office door...... It was a place that only people who were locked up would go. ”
"There is also a prize showroom with ...... on the wall pillars"
"Common room ...... for four colleges"
"The tallest tower of the castle ......"
……
"In short, it's something that is representative or different." George touched his chin and said thoughtfully, "And we can vaguely feel that we are very close to the final answer, but there is still a thin layer of parchment in between. ”
"yes......" Cedric shrugged, noncommittal.
He felt that the clue to this last password might not exist at all, or that it was just a prank.
But Fred and George didn't believe it.
Soon, the messenger came.
A large flock of owls flew into the auditorium, and six of them, the sturdy long-eared owls, attracted everyone's attention.
Carrying a slender package, they walked across the table to a Slytherin student.
The man didn't hesitate and opened the package on the spot, which contained a brand-new Light Wheel 2000.
"That's right, the new Broomstick Halo 2000, the same style as the Pro Quidditch team!"
In the envious eyes of a large group of young wizards, he said loudly with obvious smugness on his face, "My dad sent it here to celebrate my joining the Slytherin team this year.
But in my opinion, this is not necessary at all, and even without this best broom in the wizarding world, I can beat everyone to the ground. ”
His voice was so loud that it could be heard almost half of the auditorium.
Kyle turned his head to look at him.
I don't know.
"Hey, guys, look at Marcus Flint."
After being reminded by Fred, Kyle noticed that Marcus's face was very ugly, or that all the people on the Slytherin Quidditch team had ugly faces.
Probably the name Halo 2000 reminded them of some bad experience, and everyone stopped what they were doing, staring at the boy who received the package with unkind faces, and didn't even eat.
There's no small movement on Gryffindor's side.
Neville received a memory orb, which was a valuable alchemy item, and it was rare.
The main thing is that this thing is notoriously weak in the wizarding world, and it only reminds you that you have forgotten things, but it does not show the specifics...... It's very uncomfortable.
In addition, the price of memory balls is not cheap, more than a hundred Galleons are enough to dissuade most curious wizards.
Kyle also received a package.
It was a small box the size of a palm with a layer of brown paper on the outside.
After the owl delivered the package, he threw down another letter.
"As agreed, I got what you need, hopefully not too late.
I wish you the best of luck with potions.
(Your Order of Merlin has been reconsidered, but it will take a while longer)
- Pegasos Sassia. ”
The Sasian Abbot of St. Mungo sent the potion?
Kyle's eyes lit up.
"What's that?" Fred looked at Kyle's excited appearance and asked with some curiosity, "What did you buy?" ”
"No, it's a potion given by someone else."
"Potions?"
"Hmm." Kyle hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'm in some trouble with St. Mungo...... These potions were the compensation that Abbot St. Mungo had given me. ”
Because of the forced intervention of the Ministry of Magic, the Daily Prophet did not mention werewolves, only that someone was making trouble with St. Mungo.
So neither Cedric, nor the Weasley brothers, nor Connor knew that he had encountered a werewolf head-on during the summer vacation.
In order not to worry them, Kyle himself did not say anything.
"That's right......" Fred had no interest in potions, and read a copy of the Daily Prophet's in his hand.
Cedric and Connor approached with interest.
By this time, Kyle had already opened the kraft paper, revealing the wooden box inside.
In order to facilitate transportation, a traceless expansion charm was applied to the chest, which looked only the size of a palm from the outside, but the space when opened was very large.
Large and small bottles were neatly arranged inside, about fifty or sixty bottles, and there was a separate place on the side of the chest, where some of the materials needed to make potions were placed.
"This is the Ash Snake eggshell...... And the petals of the staghorn flower......" Connor was surprised.
She'd seen them in Professor Snape's office, and they were all kept tightly sealed, and the ones at the top of the shelves belonged to the most precious potions material.
Take out any kind and put it in Diagon Alley, and you can sell it for hundreds of Galleons.
Kyle just glanced at the materials and turned his attention back to the potion.
He noticed that there was something wrong with the amount of these potions.
Too much.
In addition to the previously agreed ones, Dean Sathya gave a few other extras.
For some unknown reason, Kyle even sees the trutruth potion in the corner of the chest.
