After exiting the principal's office on the eighth floor, Kyle happily greeted every portrait he passed by.

Hogwarts was full of surprises, who would have thought that on this ordinary Christmas, he would not only see the legendary Ashes of Nirvana, but even get a vial.

It's like a dream.

Kyle doesn't know how long it will take for Fox to reach Nirvana, but it certainly won't be short...... Dumbledore's eyes were red at the time, and it was the first time Kyle had seen him lose his temper like this.

And in Newt's "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", there is no specific time for Phoenix Nirvana. This means that from the time he wrote the book to the present, Fox has not been nirvana.

If this is the case, then the interval between Fox Nirvana would be at least sixty years......

Of course, this refers to time in its natural state, and special cases such as eating a requisite spell do not count.

Kyle couldn't help but take out the small bottle again, and looked at it in the dim light......

At least sixty years, a handful of ashes...... It's arguably the most precious material in the wizarding world, and there's no one.

Legend has it that the ashes left behind by the phoenix's nirvana contained both death and new life, something countless alchemists and potions masters dreamed of.

Kyle even suspects that the Resurrection Stone, one of the Deathly Hallows, may have been used in the Phoenix's Nirvana Ashes.

If you have the chance, you can look into it.

Kyle glanced back at the dripping stone beast at the door of the principal's office, subconsciously quickened his pace, and trotted all the way down the stairs.

When he reached the first floor, he also met two acquaintances in the foyer.

"Harry, Ron?"

Kyle greeted and asked, "What are you doing here so late?" ”

The two were taken aback, and quickly turned around, looking at Kyle who suddenly appeared nervously.

"Sleep, can't sleep...... Coming out for a walk......"

"You... How are you here! ”

The two were close to each other, as if they had been caught on a night tour.

"Oh, I just came out of the principal's office." Kyle said casually, "But are you wearing the wrong clothes, why are you so big...... Wait, that tail ......"

"What tail, are you mistaken...... Haha......" Harry stammered.

Ron nodded busily, "That's right. You must be too tired from reading. ”

In this cold day, they sweated all the sweat left.

Wrong...... These two people almost wrote "being a thief" on their faces.

Kyle suddenly looked up and said in surprise, "Professor McGonagall, why are you here?" ”

"Professor McGonagall!"

"Ahh

Harry and Ron turned back at the same time, but the next second, they realized that there was no one behind them.

But at this time, Kyle also saw what was hidden behind them...... An earthy-yellow, hairy head that seems to be ...... A cat?

When Kyle called out Professor McGonagall, she was also startled and subconsciously looked up.

It was confirmed, it was a cat, but it was human, and it was wearing a wide robe that also did not fit.

Kyle looked at her carefully and asked uncertainly, "Hermione?" ”

"Ahh The other party screamed in surprise and quickly covered his face.

Kyle looked at Harry and Ron.

The two sighed, which was considered acquiescence.

The ill-fitting school uniform, plus Hermione who turned into a cat......

Kyle couldn't help but ask, "She probably drank a compound decoction with cat hair." ”

Again, the two chose to remain silent.

After a moment, Ron asked in a whisper, "Is there anything you can do?" ”

"The Humanoid Restoration Charm should work." Kyle thought for a moment and said, "Lockhart mentioned it in Wandering with Werewolves, but I won't, if you want to, maybe you can ask Lockhart if he remembers the spell......"

"Lockhart?" Harry's eyelids jumped, and he immediately shook his head, "Is there any other way?" ”

"The other way......" Kyle frowned, "I'm not sure it will work, forget it, let's get her to the school hospital first, Madam Pomfrey must have a way." ”

"Okay then."

Harry and Ron nodded, covering Hermione again and walking towards the school hospital.

Thankfully, it was a holiday, and it was late, so they didn't meet anyone else along the way except Kyle.

……

"It's a hassle......"

In the school hospital, Madam Pomfrey carefully examined Hermione's condition and looked up solemnly.

"Didn't Professor Snape teach you that Polyjuice decoction can't be deformed against animals?"

"We don't know...... That's animal hair......" Ron said hesitantly.

He and Harry were ready to confess, whether it was stealing from Snape's private storage room or secretly brewing a polyjuice potion.

The most important thing now is to get Hermione back to her old ways, as for what punishment they will receive in the future, it is no longer so much to care.

"It's reckless...... Careless...... Madam Pomfrey said angrily, "You don't even know what the material of the potion is, you dare to pour it into your stomach, you are really fateful." ”

She counted Harry and Ron, but didn't ask where their polyjuice potion came from, or what they wanted to do.

Madam Pomfrey then took out her wand and tapped it on Hermione a few times.

Large swaths of hair fell out, but more remained on her.

"She will have to be treated here for at least five weeks before she recovers."

Madam Pomfrey waved her hand and began to chase away, "Now, it's time for you to go back." ”

"We can see ...... here"

"No way!"

Harry's words were rejected before they could finish their sentences, and Madam Pomfrey would not allow them to stay here for whatever reason.

In desperation, the two could only say goodbye to Hermione and leave the school hospital step by step.

"Why are you still here?" Madam Pomfrey looked to the side again, not at all interested in leaving.

"Madam Pomfrey." Kyle asked, "I'd like to know if the mandrake leaves are useful for this erroneous deformation caused by potions." ”

"Mandrake?"

"I read it in a book." Kyle said, "Somebody used mandrake blades to restore the people who had been turned into octopuses. ”

"Don't tell it was Lockhart's book."

Kyle nodded.

In fact, he saw it from the book "Vacation with the Dominatrix".

"Mandrakes can be used in conjunction with lovage, and they can indeed be used to restore conditions that have changed their appearance due to curses and shapeshifts."

Madam Pomfrey said earnestly, "But it is not the leaves that are needed to prepare the resurrection potion, but the sap of a ripe mandrake. ”

"Resurrection potion?"

"That's right." Madam Pomfrey glanced at the two beds in the corner, "This can also be used to treat those who have been petrified." ”

Kyle nodded abruptly...... Co-authored Lockhart didn't understand the story and made up a recipe by himself.

If so, there is no way.

Although the seeds given by the Ministry of Magic last time happened to have two plants, mandrake and living grass, they all had a room on the eighth floor, in other words, they were not ripe.

It takes about a year for a mandrake seed to sprout and develop its facial features, and this is only a seedling, and it will take another year to mature.

Grass is slower...... It's the same as the poison tentacles, and it takes at least three years to mature.
