Chapter 677: Noble on the Spot
In addition to Professor McGonagall, Kyle also needs to go to the offices of Professor Flitwick and Professor Sprout, after all, every house has students who want to enter the Ministry of Magic.
For Slytherin, Snape didn't seem to think they needed Kyle's advice, but it saved him a lot of time.
For some time after that, he was busy almost every day between the three dean's offices, even during school hours.
The professors seem to think that missing a few days of class is not a big deal for Kyle, so it is not until three days after the start of school that Kyle finally walks into the classroom again.
"You're late." Snape grimaced, his voice colder than the basement classroom in February.
"I'm sorry, I just came out of Professor Flitwick's office." Kyle explained, "I thought he told you. ”
"Ah, yes......," Snape said in a long voice, "Senior Assistant Minister, how remarkable it is to sit in such an important position before graduating." ”
There was a hint of mockery in his voice.
"What are you still rubbing, do you want me to ask you back to your seat?"
Kyle hurriedly walked over to the only empty table and sat down, and Connor next to him turned his head, and was about to say something, when he was interrupted by Snape's voice.
"Broad-spectrum antidote...... A more potent antidote, even able to deal with some of the damage caused by the dark arts......"
He waved his wand, and the steps immediately appeared on the blackboard.
"The things you need are still in the cupboard, but be warned, because unicorn horns are expensive, you can only take one copy per person......
"While I don't think any of you here are going to make a low-level mistake, if any of you really waste this material, you'll have to buy it yourself."
Everyone lined up to get the materials they needed at the cabinet, and Kyle got his share.
A piece of dung, a bag of parasitic berries, a vial of Motra rat bile, and a sliced disc about the size of a galleon.
"I thought there was a whole one, but it turned out to be a little bigger." Kyle muttered quietly, but when he saw Snape's cold eyes, he quickly shut his mouth.
However, it is not surprising that if you think about it carefully, according to the "Advanced Potion Making", it takes a whole unicorn horn to make a broad-spectrum antidote to exert its maximum effect, but the school obviously won't let them be so extravagant.
After all, in Diagon Alley, a horn made of hollowed out and only the outermost ring of shells required twenty-one Galleons, and if it was really one for each person, the cost of this lesson would be too great, and the school director would not have agreed to it.
And for the students who boiled the broad-spectrum antidote for the first time, this little material was enough, and five minutes before the end of class, only three people were considered to have finished, and the others had more or less mistakes.
This potion is definitely not to be used, even a whole unicorn horn is a waste.
"How's your preparation?" After leaving the basement classroom, Kyle looked at Connor next to him and asked, "Are you going to go directly to the Extraordinary Pharmacists Guild after the school year is over?" ”
"That's what Professor Snape said." Connor stuffed two thick books into his bag, "He also said that I have been making a few more different potions lately, and getting acquainted with their processes, without any pauses.
"Oh, and he asked me to get the recipe for my latest potion together as soon as possible...... This is the first step into the Association of Extraordinary Pharmacists. ”
Kyle nodded, he'd heard of this too, the Extraordinary Apothecary Guild did have this rule, and they valued wizards' talent in the use of potions more than just written grades.
This is the same as the paper of "Transfiguration Today", it does not need to be amazing, but it must have its own understanding.
"Need my help?"
Kyle asked, "I have basilisk venom and snake molt here, this material hasn't been seen in a long time, and you can make a new potion with a little other stuff, and there is absolutely no risk of duplication, it is guaranteed to make you pass the test."
"Besides, I should be able to get Phoenix Tears as well, but that thing may have to wait until Professor Dumbledore returns."
"No, you don't." Connor shook her head and said, "Actually, I had already finished the new potion recipe before Christmas, and Professor Snape had helped me look at it, and he thought it was exactly what it was."
"So now I just need to learn more about potions.
"I remember last year when they were in the audition, they had a very unpopular question...... Fishman Elixir, no one could pass the assessment that year, and they all failed. ”
"Fish-man potion?" Kyle couldn't help but say, "Didn't the people who applied to join the Extraordinary Pharmacists Guild last year offend them somewhere. ”
It is a potion that allows a wizard to grow the tail of a fish and breathe freely in the water.
Seriously, this kind of potion is rarely used in the entire wizarding world, not to mention in the United Kingdom, and even if necessary, it can be directly replaced with gill sac grass, and there is no need to deliberately take another step.
Normally, this potion is only used by wizards who want to disguise themselves as fishmen......
By the way, the Fish-Men are creatures with human bodies and tails, and most of them are very good-looking, and they are completely different species from the ugly merfolk in the Black Lake.
Kyle wondered if the person who invented the potion had some other intentions.
……
"That's why I need to know more about how to deal with their tricky questions." Connor said, rubbing her eyes.
Recently, she has spent almost all of her spare time in the school library.
Because there are many kinds of books about potions in the school library, no matter how unpopular they are...... This is her advantage, and those who have already graduated do not have such convenient conditions.
"That's right." Kyle suddenly asked, "What's the potion recipe you invented?" ”
"A potion that relieves fatigue." "I use dragon claw powder and mint leaves, which are very uplifting. ”
"Mint Leaf ......," Kyle seemed to think of something, "did you add this to the chocolate you gave me for Christmas?" ”
"That's right." Connor smiled and said, "How does it feel?" ”
"Bibafe brain rejuvenator works." Kyle laughs, "At least I didn't feel any groggy all day." ”
Bafay Brain Booster can also help people concentrate and stay awake, but after two hours, they will feel very tired, as if they have finally stopped after a long period of exercise, and they will not be able to do anything.
He ate chocolate on Christmas Day, but he didn't feel that way, and of course it was a little less effective than Bafei's Sophober, but it only kept Kyle from getting sleepy all day.
"This is what I read from a very old book that contains a lot of amazing herbal combinations."
"That's good." Kyle said, "Are you thinking about selling?" You should be able to make a lot of money. ”
Since the Easter holidays are over, the exams seem to be just around the corner.
Refreshing things have been particularly popular in recent times, especially between the fifth and seventh grades, where the bafay rejuvenator has been sold for twelve Galleons.
The problem is that the Ba Fei Brain Awakening Potion, which can enhance wisdom and memory, is counted as a cheating product like the Elixir and is not allowed to be sold and used publicly during the test time, and will be confiscated once found.
It's just to make some hard-earned money, and if it's confiscated, the gains outweigh the losses.
However, Connor's new potion doesn't have such concerns, it just doesn't make people feel sleepy during the day, which happens to be the most needed by students who doze off at the first glance.
Moreover, this kind of potion that has just been invented and has not yet come out is unlikely to appear on the list of cheating products, and even if it is discovered, it does not matter.
It was just perfect.
"Forget it." Connor smiled and said, "I still have to read books, so I don't have that much time to make potions, so I only have some for my friends." ”
She pulled a potion out of her bag and handed it to Kyle, "This is for you." ”
Inside the bottle was a translucent, light blue potion, which could be opened with a faint mint smell and a vague sweetness, which seemed to be the smell of sunshine flower stems.
This is much better than the bitter and astringent Ba Fei Brain Sophober.
"You don't have to drink too much at a time, this bottle can last about a week." Connor continued, "It's a pity that dragon claw powder is not easy to find, and I failed to boil it, so in the end, there are only six bottles left.
"Cedric, the Weasley brothers are both in seventh grade, they should be able to use it, and the autumn ...... As for the last bottle I'm going to give to Hermione, she's in fifth grade. L. Exams are also very important. ”
Kyle's expression suddenly became a little strange, "What did you just say that it's hard to find?" ”
"Dragon's claw powder." Connor said, "This thing doesn't sell at Hogsmeade at all, and I've run out of stock in Professor Snape's private pantry, and he's helping me find new dragonclaw powder." ”
Kyle's expression became even stranger, and he couldn't help but ask, "You take a closer look at me, do you remember anything?" ”
"Huh?" Connor subconsciously looked at Kyle, and after a moment, her cheeks flushed slightly, but she still asked blankly, "Did I forget something?" ”
Kyle didn't speak, just dragged her into an empty classroom and walked in, then took out the suitcase.
"Come with me, I'll show you something." Kyle opens the box and walks in.
Connor followed.
The two of them came to the small room at the entrance of the box.
Connor noticed that it was more complete than the last time she had been here, and that it was a barely walkable path that had been quite spacious.
"Sit down." Kyle said casually, then went straight to the bookshelf and found a bag.
"Let's take a look at this." Kyle poured out the contents of the bag, and seven or eight dozen inch-long claws landed on the table.
Connor was stunned, "Could this be ......?"
"That's right, the dragon's claws." Kyle said, "Have you forgotten? I've been to the Dragon Sanctuary in Romania and still brought back a lot of loot. ”
"I know." Connor hadn't come to her senses yet, "But I thought you only had the teeth and scales of a fire dragon. ”
"Fire dragons don't just bite each other when they fight." Kyle said, "It's just that their claws are stronger and don't have as easy teeth to break, so I haven't found much." ”
"Is that enough? If not enough...... I should be able to get a few more. Kyle glanced in the direction of the door.
Noble is either eating or sleeping now, and then he is teasing the moon beast, and it shouldn't matter if he trims his nails properly.
"No, no, that's enough." Kang Nor hurriedly said, "The amount of dragon claw powder needed is very small, and one can be used about five times. ”
"That's all for you." Kyle shoved all his claws to Connor, "Feel free to tell me if there's anything you need." ”
"So much for me?" Connor was stunned for a moment, "Aren't you going to keep it for yourself?" ”
"It's okay, it's useless for me to ask for this thing anyway." Kyle waved his hand nonchalantly, "And even if I need it, I'll find it when the time comes." ”
At the same time, Noble, who was chasing the moon beast, suddenly stopped, and landed on a nearby cliff to look around suspiciously.
It had just vaguely sensed a wave of malice, as if someone was trying to do something wrong with it.
Noble glanced at the big black cat on the ground who was sleeping, and then spewed a small flame from his nostrils in disdain.
That little thing is too weak to beat itself at all, and it certainly isn't it.
Noble looked at a cave not far away, and his eyes became much more solemn, and he felt that he had found the culprit.
After all, in this acre of land, the only thing that can pose a threat to it is the big snake, and once the big snake looked at it, causing its wings to weaken, and almost fell from the sky.
Thinking of this, Noble was instantly unhappy, and immediately flapped his wings and flew over, raised his head, charged his strength, and sprayed a large mouthful of fire at the cave.
There was a roar from the cave, and a dull crash, as if something had come to its feet, but was stopped again.
Noble also roared, and then he flapped his wings contentedly, and continued to play with the Moon Worm.
However, by this time, Kyle and Connor had already left the box and did not hear any movement inside.
Connor returned to the basement classroom, ready to ask Snape to help grind the hard dragon claws into powder, which was a technical task that required special magical aids, and neither Connor nor Kyle could do it, so they had to ask Snape for help.
Kyle didn't come along, he was worried that if he was by his side, Snape might not be able to pull his face, and he would probably say something weird...... Let Connor go on her own.
Kyle was going to take advantage of this time to divide the potions that Connor had given him to the others.
Cedric and Cho were fine, but Fred and George became excited when they learned about the potion effect, and their eyes still lit up.
"Listen to me Kyle, this thing can definitely make a lot of money!" Fred clutched the potion bottle tightly, "Do you know how many people have wanted to buy Bafei Brain Awakening Potion lately?" ”
"That Ravenclaw Camichell, I've sold several bottles......"
"But his potions were confiscated by Professor Flitwick in the end, haha......"
"I advise you not to fight its idea." Kyle shook his head and said, "This is what Connor is going to use to participate in the Extraordinary Apothecary Association, so it's best not to spread it out until then, just use it yourself." ”
Hearing Kyle say this, Fred and George gradually calmed down.
Although Garon is tempting, it is more important to be assessed by the Extraordinary Pharmacists Association.
And they knew very well that Connor had been preparing for this for nearly a year, and if something went wrong at the end, Professor Snape might be able to stuff them into the cauldron...... Probably Kyle will be on hand to help hand the lid as well.
In addition to the Weasley brothers, Kyle also gave Hermione's share by the way.
However, Hermione was hesitant, believing that the use of potions before the exam was cheating, regardless of whether the potion was on the list of cheating products or not.
Kyle was well aware of Hermione's personality and had long thought that she would react like this, shrugged his shoulders and said:
"It's okay, if you don't want to use it, you can give it to Harry and Ron, it will allow them to read the whole book without dozing.
"Oh, just tell them not to talk nonsense."
"I think they want more of a potion that turns knowledge into pumpkin juice, so they don't have to read a book if they drink it." Hermione pouted, "But thank you, I'll take care of it."
"If Connor can successfully pass the Extraordinary Pharmacists Association's examination, this potion may be the driving force for me to move forward."
Hermione took a deep breath.
She was now increasingly skeptical of whether the school's claims about the four colleges were true.
Kyle and Cedric were all there for, and she had been used to it for so long.
As a result, there is now another Connor who is expected to break the record for the youngest member of the Extraordinary Pharmacists Association......
So, Hufflepuff is the true academy of wisdom, right?
