Chapter 159: Elixir and Swallowtail Dog
"What is this ......?"
Cedric watched Kyle holding a thumb-sized bottle in a daze, and leaned over with some curiosity.
"Strange, why isn't there a label on this?" Cedric frowned and said suspiciously, "Could it be that St. Mungo's people accidentally misplaced it." ”
"What kind of Seeker are you looking at, retire quickly, so as not to be embarrassed." Kyle reached over and pointed to the bottle, saying, "Look closely, isn't the label here...... Well? ”
Before Kyle could finish his sentence, he was suddenly stunned.
Because he found that the place of his finger was empty, and the words that had been written on it were all gone.
"Nope...... You're mistaken. ”
Cedric looked at it carefully, and finally made sure that there was indeed no label on the bottle, and then said with a smile: "By the way, it will be the final selection of Quidditch in a few days, so don't swim at night recently, so as not to get confused, and then throw the Quaffle ball outside the door frame......"
With that, Cedric turned his head and talked to George next to him about something else.
"Strange ......," Kyle muttered as he looked at the bottle in his hand.
He was sure that when he first saw this bottle just now, it did have the words "Truth Teller" written in golden flower script on it.
In the blink of an eye, the words were all gone, and no trace was left.
"It can't be that I'm really dazzled...... Forget it, find time to study it carefully. ”
Kyle shook his head, put the bottle in his pocket, and continued to rummage through the potions in the box.
Compared to the Truth Elixir, the remaining potions are much more normal, and although there are quite a few expensive ones, they can basically be found in stores.
Soon, only the last bottle of potion in the box remained.
It's in the far corner of the box, and the bottle is smaller than the one for the elixir.
As Kyle carefully took it out, there was a sudden inhalation sound around him.
"No......"
Cedric's eyes widened and he said in disbelief, "This is a magic elixir?!" ”
Inside the bottle, the golden liquid shook slightly from Kyle's movements.
Cedric's eyes rose and fell.
"What? Elixir! ”
At this time, Fred and George also approached and asked curiously, "Is this the legendary lucky potion?" ”
"You can't be wrong."
Cedric nodded thoughtfully, "Although this is the first time I've seen a real elixir, I've seen it in books, and it looks like this, and you see, it's still written here." ”
As he spoke, Cedric pointed to the label on the top of the bottle, which was not much bigger than a grain of rice.
"It's really a magic elixir!" Fred smacked his lips.
Like Cedric, this is the first time he has seen a true elixir,
Before that, this thing belonged to the same kind of legend in his mind as the old wand in the storybook.
The three of them stared at the elixir in Kyle's hand, reluctant to blink their eyes, until they were only five minutes away from class, and then reluctantly left.
Connor also glanced at it curiously, but the more she stared at the small bottle, the more familiar it became......
"Haven't remembered yet? You must have forgotten about it. ”
On the way to the Charms class, Kyle took out the potion again and shook it in front of Connor's eyes.
"Just a reminder, last year's Christmas present"
"Christmas...... Oh, I remembered! ”
Connor paused, and suddenly said, "I remember that Professor Snape gave me a bottle of this potion back then, and it turned out to be a magic potion." ”
"Isn't it a cold potion?" Kyle shuffled beside him.
Connor seemed to hear what Kyle meant, her face flushed, and she turned her head to look elsewhere in embarrassment, and whispered a few explanations.
She didn't know about Professor Snape's relationship with the Prince family at the time, so it was normal not to believe it.
After all, how can any professor give a student a blessing elixir as a gift, this is a bit outrageous.
"Now you should believe it." Kyle asked with a smile.
Connor just wanted to nod, but suddenly thought of something, raised her head, looked at Kyle with an unkind face, and said, "Wait, you didn't know that Professor Snape knew me at that time, and you've been watching my jokes ever since?" ”
"You're thinking too much, this one really isn't."
Kyle shook his head and explained, "I also found out a few days before the holiday. ”
Connor wrinkled her nose and asked, "Then how can you be sure that the potion he gave me is a magic potion." ”
Kyle said casually, "Because that's what a magic potion looks like." ”
"It's as simple as that?"
"Of course......," Kyle laughed, "but it also has to do with the professor's personality, and Professor Snape doesn't make such jokes." ”
The professors at Hogwarts are all different in personality, and if the gift was given to Connor by Professor Flitwick, it might have been a cold potion.
Because he's done something similar.
As Chris had mentioned in a casual conversation, Professor Flitwick had given a Ravenclaw crown to all the students who stayed on the campus at Christmas.
However, the students soon discovered that it was actually chocolate, but Professor Flitwick had magically made it into a crown.
"That's right......" Connor nodded thoughtfully.
On second thought, she realized that Professor Snape really wasn't going to do that kind of superfluous thing.
"By the way, I'll give this back to you."
As he was about to reach the Charms classroom, Kyle suddenly took a small bottle out of his pocket and handed it over.
It was the elixir Snape had given to Connor.
He didn't dare to put this thing anywhere else, and he always carried it with him.
Connor glanced at Kyle and didn't answer.
"Did you really give it to me?"
What do you say...... It's meant to be your stuff. Kyle laughed.
I helped Connor keep it before, also because she had been losing things at that time, and it was a bit unsafe to keep the elixir there for her.
Now that there is no "mouse" who steals things, there is naturally no need to worry.
Connor still didn't move.
"What are you doing in a daze, take it." Kyle saw that she hadn't moved, and couldn't help urging, "It's going to be class right away." ”
"Don't ......"
"What?" Kyle was stunned for a moment, thinking he had misheard.
This is a elixir......
"I said, I don't want it."
Connor suddenly laughed, she stood at the door of the Charms classroom, and said with her hands behind her back, "Since I gave it to you, then it is yours now, and I don't want to be a swallowtail dog......"
