Chapter 188 Lucky Potion
In the auditorium hall, the twins fighting and playing together aroused the joyful laughter of many people.
Albert just raised his head and glanced at them, then quietly moved to the empty seat next to him, pretending that he didn't know the two funny men in front of him, turned over the notebook in his hand, and felt the benefits of adding points in potion proficiency. .
Lee Jordan glanced at the twins who were still playing, sat down next to Albert, and asked, "What were you thinking about just now?"
"I returned the gold card. I don't know what kind of thank-you gift Hutok will give me." Albert flipped through his notebook and said casually, "I have a little expectation."
“I thought you didn’t care about the other person’s thank you gift.” Lee Jordan was very surprised when he heard Albert mention this. In his impression, would Albert accept other people’s thank you gift?
Obviously not!
So…
Lee Jordan suddenly came to his senses. This guy was changing the subject!
At this moment, a long-eared owl flew towards this side and threw a small package into Albert's arms.
Albert smiled and said: "Look, it's coming."
Lee Jordan: “…”
Just now, Albert was talking about the thank-you gift, but unexpectedly, an owl brought the thank-you gift in the blink of an eye.
“What’s coming?” Angelina also sat over and happened to hear Albert say something was coming, so she asked casually.
"Thank you." Albert shook the package in his hand. He naturally knew what was inside, but he still opened the package on the spot. There was a piece of folded parchment and a glass inside. Medicine bottle, inside the bottle is a golden liquid.
"What is this?"
Seeing the golden liquid in the glass medicine bottle, Li Qiaodan couldn't help but widen his eyes. He had never seen a potion of this color before.
"It should be the Lucky Potion." Albert said without thinking: "It is also the so-called lucky potion. There are about two spoons in it. The effect of the medicine should last all day."
“Elixir?”
The twins who were originally wrestling with each other also stopped playing and came over one after another, wanting to see the legendary lucky potion with their own eyes.
“What is the elixir?” Angelina looked at the glass bottle containing the golden liquid in confusion and asked.
"Is this the legendary lucky potion?" Fred took the elixir from Lee Jordan's hand, looked at it carefully, and made a drinking gesture, "I really want to take a sip and give it a try."
“Who gave it to you?” George couldn’t help but ask.
"Hettok. I sent the things back to him. This is his thank you gift." Albert explained simply.
"It's so enviable. You guys are already very lucky. After drinking this bottle of elixir, your luck will explode!" George took the bottle from Fred, took a look at it, and then replaced it. It was returned to Albert, who took the bottle of elixir and stuffed it directly into his pocket.
"The Elixir of Fortune does not bring real luck. It can greatly improve the drinker's various abilities, make him think more active, and do things smoothly." Albert explained while reading the letter, "From a certain To a certain extent, its effect can be regarded as bringing luck. Unfortunately, this stuff is poisonous if you drink too much."
“Drink too much? You want to drink more!”
Several people couldn't help but stare at Albert. They felt that this guy was really too big-hearted, and he actually wanted to drink too much?
You are obviously lucky enough. Being able to receive this bottle of elixir as a thank you gift is a very lucky thing in itself.
In the end, this guy actually wanted to drink the Felixir regularly?
“This is only a small bottle!” Angelina reminded.
"There is no need to drink it all at once. A small sip can last for about two or three hours. Moreover, I will brew it myself in the future." Albert said, "When I brew it, you will have a chance to try it."
"You won't be poisoned directly." Li Jordan pinched his neck and made a look like he was poisoned to death. "Didn't you say that it is difficult to brew the Felixir? If you don't do it well, it will become a highly poisonous thing."
"You have to believe me." Albert said with a smile, "If you can drink a little every six months, your life will become better."
"That's not bad," George muttered, "but I thought you were going to sell it for money."
"Come on, don't keep thinking about Galleons." Albert stood up, preparing to put the elixir back into the dormitory and carry it with him. If he accidentally breaks it or loses it, he will probably faint from crying. In the toilet.
"By the way, do you think you can use the elixir to find... the secret treasure hidden in the Forbidden Forest." Fred was talking in a low voice in the deserted corridor about the incident a few months ago.
"Why haven't you given up on this yet?" Albert frowned upon hearing this, glared at Fred sideways, and warned, "Have you forgotten that you almost entered the belly of the Acromantula?"
"Last time, we were not very lucky. However, this time, you have the elixir, and if you are well prepared." George also had some ideas, "Also, as long as we can learn the spell to deal with spiders, the three of us... "
"You three? Bastards, you are actually planning to exclude me." Lee Jordan waved his fist in dissatisfaction and was so angry that he wanted to hit someone. "And, didn't you say that the treasure map was thrown by Albert in the Forbidden Forest? Are you there? Without the guidance of a treasure map, how can you find the secret treasure?"
“You believe what Albert said. Even if he really throws the treasure map into the Forbidden Forest, there will definitely be a way to get it back.” Fred looked at Lee Jordan as if he were an idiot.
“What’s that look in your eyes?” Lee Jordan said dissatisfied.
“Look at the idiot’s eyes.” Fred said honestly.
“Hey, I’ve been in the same dormitory with Albert for a semester, and you still don’t understand his character?” George added a blow next to him.
What Albert said may be true, but it is unclear how much truth there is in it.
Because what he is best at is creating so-called facts.
"No, I still want to live for a few more years, but I don't want to take risks in the woods anymore. What if I get dragged away and eaten by the Acromantula?" Albert shook his head and refused.
"It would be nice if you didn't catch them and sell them for money." Fred looked like you were kidding me now.
“Do you really still have the treasure map in your hand?” Lee Jordan suddenly asked.
"I said I threw it in the forest." Albert said.
"You must have gotten it back." Fred curled his lips, "Just use the flying spell."
“I can’t.” Albert spread his hands to express that he couldn’t. In fact, he really doesn't know how to cast spells.
"You don't know how?" The three of them looked at each other, but no one believed his nonsense.
When Smith saw Albert, he said, "Anderson, I just have something to ask you."
“What’s the matter, Professor Smith?” Albert asked.
"The research on Boggart has already yielded results." Smith said with a little excitement in his tone, "Follow me, I will show you the photos. This is a major discovery. Why has no one thought of it before? How about using this method to explore the Boggart's form?"
“See you later.” Albert said to his roommate.
The three of them looked at each other in confusion, watching the leaving figures of Albert and Professor Smith. The topic turned to the Boggart research that Professor Smith had just talked about, and they speculated on what the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor had discovered.
Albert followed Professor Smith and asked curiously: "Have you photographed the Boggart entity?"
“Yes, I got it.” Smith reached out to open the wooden door and invited Albert into his office.
“I captured the Boggart’s body through the camera, which is a constantly rotating mist. The Boggart itself has no real entity.”
Professor Smith took out some photos from the drawer. The thing in the photos was a rotating mass, a bit like fog. He announced: "I am going to publish this major discovery in the magazine "Incredible"."
“Congratulations, Professor Smith.” Albert said with a smile.
"No, no, congratulations to you too, Anderson, you also have a share of credit for this." Professor Smith said with a smile, "This is the method you came up with. Without you, I would not have discovered this secret. So, I plan to Write your name on it too.”
"No need, Professor, this is your achievement." Albert shook his head and refused: "If you feel you have taken advantage of me, you can teach me some useful spells or alchemy."
"This..." Smith looked a little weird on his face, nodded and said: "Your alchemy level can only be considered average, but I can give you a little help in this regard."
"That's great," said Albert. "It's a shame that alchemy is not taught at Hogwarts."
"This subject requires a relatively high starting point." Smith explained: "In the UK, there are not many people who value alchemy, and the books on alchemy in the Hogwarts library are of little use. Generally, you have to wait until you graduate. Then study it yourself slowly."
He suddenly said: "I still plan to fill in your name. It is not a good idea to monopolize other people's achievements."
Albert was very surprised, but he no longer refused Professor Smith’s decision.
"By the way, I just heard that you wanted to enter the Forbidden Forest? What about a secret treasure?" Professor Smith suddenly frowned and warned, "This is not a good idea. The Forbidden Forest is very dangerous. Don't be fooled." What kind of treasure map did you fool me?"
“Well, I know.” Albert nodded.
“What did Mr. Weasley say?” Professor Smith asked suspiciously.
"Last semester, Fred and George were lured into the woods with a treasure map. I will tell them to give up this idea and not to be fooled again." Albert said briefly.
"That's good." Smith nodded. "Although the outer perimeter of the Forbidden Forest is not dangerous, the depths are very dangerous. Don't take risks foolishly. No matter how many lives you have, it is not enough to lose."
“I know, I’ll leave first.” Albert greeted Professor Smith, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly turned his head and asked, “Can you give me this photo?”
“Of course.” Professor Smith did not refuse. There were several such photos on the table.
Albert put the photo into the pocket of his robe, turned and left the office.
"A secret treasure?" Smith looked at Albert's leaving back, with a strange light shining in his eyes.
…
Albert left the office and just took a few steps when he saw a boy walking towards him, and the other boy also glanced at him.
Then, walk to the Defense Against Dark Arts office and knock on the wooden door.
"That person seems to be...Smith?" Albert looked back and muttered, "Do you really know him?"
However, it’s not surprising that they know each other. Britain is such a big country, so the wizards named Smith are probably all related.
After Albert returned to the common room, he did not find Fred and the other three. He put the elixir in a wooden box, then placed the box in his drawer and cast the Anti-Alajo Opening Charm on it to ensure that no one could open the drawer.
At least, most students cannot do it.
In the drawer are some personal notes, his camera, a protective bracelet he made before, and... a treasure map of a secret treasure.
Into the Forbidden Forest?
Albert did have this idea, and now that he has the elixir, he is a little more certain of success.
It’s just that he doesn’t plan to go now. It would be too risky. He must wait until he becomes stronger and strong enough that his life is not in danger before going in.
Although exciting adventures are interesting, life is undoubtedly more important.
Just as Albert was about to put the map back into the drawer, the door was suddenly opened, and the three of them walked in with a smile. They happened to see Albert holding the map.
“Look, I’m telling you, that map must still be in Albert’s hand.” Fred looked like I knew it.
Albert calmly put the map back into the drawer, cast a spell on it, shrugged and said to a few people, "Don't venture into the Forbidden Forest until you are fully prepared. I will go with you when I am ready." .”
The three of them couldn't help but look at each other, and then couldn't help but laugh.
"Look, I said Albert also likes adventure." George patted Albert on the shoulder and said, "When are you going to teach us the spell to deal with spiders?"
"If you want to safely enter and leave the Forbidden Forest to find treasures, the optical spider dispersing spell will not work." Albert shook his head and said, "Even if you learn that spell, you will be eaten by spiders sooner or later."
“Why?” Lee Jordan looked puzzled.
“Because the Acromantula’s most powerful ability is its sneak attack.” Fred explained, “In the forest, once the Acromantula succeeds in a sneak attack, it’s really over.”
“Then why are you still alive now?” Lee Jordan said angrily.
“Last time, those big spiders didn’t intend to kill us all at once.” George explained, “But that’s not necessarily the case this time.”
As he spoke, he pointed at Albert and said, "Last time, when Albert saved us, he knocked down a large group of Acromantulas. I think those big spiders will definitely hold a grudge."
“Hold a grudge?”
“I checked the information about Acromantulas. They can talk and have intelligence.” Fred explained, “Next time they encounter us, they will probably... kill us directly.”
"It seems that you are not just crazy enough to want to go into the forest to die." Albert was quite satisfied. If Fred and George just wanted to venture into the Forbidden Forest without thinking, then he would have to think about it carefully.
