Malfoy Rise at Hogwarts

Chapter 55 Wolf Poison Potion
After lunch, Care of Fantastic Creatures class with Gryffindors.

The magical creatures that Hagrid brought out were twelve eagle horses. Unlike in the original book, Draco had become much more serious in his study this semester. He strictly followed Hagrid's instructions to bow to one eagle horse, and thus successfully rode it and flew around in the air.But not long after, everyone could see Hagrid hurriedly carrying Blaise Zabini to the school hospital. Blaise had a deep and long cut on his arm, and blood flowed down his arm into the corridor.

What happened quickly spread among the students, and Blaise was attacked by a hippogriff named Buckbeak in Hagrid's class.

If you want to ask, why are there eagle horses in the classroom?This was because it was Hagrid's first Care of Magical Creatures class, and in order to impress everyone, he brought twelve hippogriffs to class.Not surprisingly, the class ended up being a total failure.

Although the Gryffindor students can all prove that Blaise was attacked by Buckbeak, he asked for it entirely, but this still casts a bloody shadow on the already heavy atmosphere in the school.

As a member of Slytherin, Schelling also followed them into the school hospital. He saw that Ms. Pomfrey cured Brace in just one minute, but he was still pale and said that his arm was hurting. He accused Hogwarts of teaching methods and had no regard for the safety of the students. He clamored that he would definitely report this matter to the Ministry of Magic.

Blaise's mother, Mrs. Sabine, is a well-known pretty widow who has unknown intimate relationships with many high-level officials in the Ministry of Magic. It is said that even the Minister of Magic, Fudge, wants to sell her some face.Xie Lin secretly sneered, but did not intend to stop this matter.Draco originally wanted to inform Lucius to participate, but he had no choice but to give up when Schelling stopped him.

Schelling was not on the side of Gryffindor, but he knew clearly that in today's wizarding world, it would not be wise to go against Dumbledore, at least until he grew up...

Blaise didn't reappear at the Slytherin table until Thursday's breakfast time.He entered the Great Hall amidst the cheers of the Slytherins, his right arm wrapped in a bandage and hung by a sling around his neck, like a hero surviving some terrible battle.

Seeing him like this, Harry and Ron looked disdainful, but Blaise himself was full of complacency.

Many people in the auditorium were looking down at today's Daily Prophet. "What are you looking at?" Blaise asked strangely.

"The latest on Sirius Black!" whispered Pansy, pushing him a newspaper.Blaise saw it read: Black was seen by a Muggle somewhere not far from Hogwarts. When the people from the Ministry of Magic arrived, he had already left and was currently in the process of hunting.It was speculated that Sirius Black was trying to get into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Most of the little wizards in Slytherin have been reminded by their parents, and they know what's going on.

Draco whispered to Blaise: "Black's target should be Potter. I think that guy is about to be unlucky. First, he saw something ominous in the divination class, and then his dear giant friend may also be expelled. Now it is Black..."

After speaking, Draco gave a smug smile, stood up and walked towards the Gryffindor table. He stood behind Harry with a malicious gleam in his eyes. "Well, Potter, do you want to single-handedly try to catch Black?"

"What does that have to do with you?" Harry asked rhetorically.

"Of course, if I were you..." Draco's thin lips curved into a mean smile, "I would have done something already. I wouldn't stay in school and be a good boy, I would definitely go out and find him."

"What the hell are you talking about, Malfoy?" said Ron gruffly.

"Don't you know, Potter?" Draco whispered, his gray eyes narrowing.

"what do you know?"

Malfoy let out a low chuckle. "Perhaps you don't want to risk your life," he said. "Just want the Dementors to deal with him, don't you? If it were me, I'd have my revenge, and I'd hunt him down myself."

There was an obviously fake coughing sound, and Xie Lin was walking slowly towards the location of several people.

Harry and Ron immediately showed guarded expressions. There was no way, Schelling's reputation was too strong. Harry didn't think that joining forces with Ron was enough to compete with Schelling. Instead, Hermione stood up bravely, looked directly into Schelling's gaze, and asked sharply, "Malfoy, this is the auditorium. What are you going to do in public?"

Schelling frowned, and the scene suddenly fell into an embarrassing silence.

Schelling ignored Hermione's provocation, turned to look at Draco, and broke the silence: "Brother, have you forgotten your father's instructions?"

Draco had actually finished what he wanted to say, and then he snorted pretending to be dissatisfied, and turned to leave.

Schelling smiled apologetically, and handed out an invitation to Harry, "As you all know, there will be dementors patrolling outside Hogwarts this year, and the Patronus Charm is the only known spell that can resist dementors. I plan to organize a spell exchange event in the near future. I will explain my various understandings of the Patronus Charm and help students practice and master this spell. No matter which college students are interested in participating, I am welcome. If you are interested, welcome to participate." Said. Forget it, Xie Lin left the invitation letter, turned around and left smartly, leaving only Hermione with an embarrassed face.

Seeing that she was being ignored by Schelling, Hermione felt as if she had been punched in her heart, and felt very depressed.She also didn't know why she acted head-on with Xie Lin just now, she just remembered that when she saw Xie Lin, a burst of unreasonable anger suddenly arose in her heart, which made her unable to control her emotions for a while.

A few days ago, when she saw Xie Lin's intimate behavior with three girls beside her on the train, she felt a faint discomfort in her heart. At that time, she thought it was influenced by the dementors and didn't think much about it, but today she felt that discomfort again, and this time the anger was so clear and violent.

Seeing Hermione's uncertain face, Harry and Ron wisely didn't talk to provoke her, but discussed this so-called "spell exchange" activity in low voices.

I saw Schelling walking towards Percy, who was dining, and asking Percy to help post the news about the event to the Gryffindor lounge; then asked Penello to help post the news to the Ravenclaw lounge, and Cedric to help post the news to the Hufflepuff lounge.

Although these three people were not very familiar with me, at least they had chatted with each other a few times during Merlin's test match, and it was just a matter of asking them to help post an announcement on the bulletin board, so I understand that they would not refuse.

Harry seemed surprised by the invitation and was hesitating.On the other hand, Ron pointed out with disdain that this must be a Slytherin conspiracy, and he strongly advised people around him not to go. If you want to learn spells, you can directly ask the professors for advice, and there must be a lot of information in this area in the library. There is no need to participate in Slytherin activities at all.Hermione looked at the invitation letter with a pensive look on her face, making it impossible to know her true thoughts.

After breakfast, the young wizards of Slytherin and Gryffindor all gathered at the underground teacher of the Potions class.

"What we are going to make today is a shrinking solution." Snape strode into the basement classroom like a dark cloud, and the flying black robe bloomed in the air like a flower.He took out his wand and tapped the blackboard, and the production process and key points of this potion appeared on the blackboard silently.

"The most important raw materials of the shrink potion include daisy root, fig skin and chamaejasma aconitum." Snape's tone was still so gloomy, but the students could clearly feel the unhappiness contained in it. "Potter!" he cried suddenly.

Harry stood up bewildered.

"Tell me, what's the difference between Aconitum acanthus and Aconitum chamaejasma?"

"I'm sorry, I don't know, Professor." Harry answered innocently.

"I remember asking you this question in your first Potions class in your first year, Potter." Snape's eyes were frighteningly gloomy, and he didn't know where he got angry. "It's obvious that you haven't made any progress in the past two years. It seems that fame can really make people not recognize themselves..."

"Why don't you prepare to write down my next words!" He turned and shouted to the whole class, and everyone hurriedly found out quills and parchment.

"The function of the daisy root is to concentrate the essence, and it is also often used to increase the concentration of the medicine. It is used here to extract the essence of the raw material. The skin of the fig is mild in medicine, which can prevent the concentrated medicine from taking effect too quickly and cause too much damage to the user. It is widely used in various oral recovery medicines. As for the chamaema aconitum, it is mainly used to assist transformation. Since shrinking potions often involve changes in shape, it is also indispensable.

"Sorry, Professor!" Hermione held up her hand.

"Oh, Miss Granger? What's the matter with you?" Snape turned his face, staring at her with dark eyes, with an indescribably strange tone.All the students present noticed his anomaly: when would he ask Hermione "what's the matter with you"?
Hermione didn't seem to notice it. "Professor, what kind of potion is Wolfsbane Potion? I haven't seen its introduction in any potion book."

"Excellent question, Miss Granger." Snape seemed to be planning to carry the extraordinary to the end, and he did something even more surprising. "Being able to ask this question shows that you have been working hard to learn relevant knowledge. Five points from Gryffindor."

There was an uproar.

Everyone's mouths fell open.This is probably the first time that Hermione and even Gryffindor not only did not deduct points when they took the initiative to ask questions in Potions class, but were awarded points.Ron flicked his ears; Harry took off his glasses and began rubbing his eyes desperately; Neville's hand holding the fig was hanging in the air; Draco's hand that cut the daisy root trembled and cut directly on his index finger.

Schelling probably guessed Snape's intentions, he let out a low snort.

Snape glanced around. Wherever he looked, the students were sitting upright. After his eyes rested on Xie Lin, he pondered for a moment and said, "Xue Lin, you are going to answer?"

After thinking about all the information about this potion in Xie Lin's mind, he replied loudly: "The wolf's poison potion is a new potion invented last year. It was invented by Damocles Belby, and he was invited to join the Association of Extraordinary Pharmacists and obtained the qualification of a potion master. This potion is specially used to treat werewolves. Although it can't turn a werewolf back into an ordinary person, it can make a werewolf maintain his sanity on the night of the full moon. This potion needs to be taken regularly from the week before the full moon, a full cup every day, It will be effective. However, this potion is not without flaws, its raw materials are very expensive, almost no werewolves can afford it, and due to the intense toxicity of chamaejasma aconitum, the preparation process of this potion is very difficult, any mistake will become a fatal poison, so it is extremely difficult to find a potion master who is capable of making this potion."

"Good answer, fifteen points for Slytherin!"

Seeing Xie Lin talking eloquently, Hermione pursed her lips tightly, various thoughts swirled in her heart, among which the idea of ​​not admitting defeat was the most enthusiastic.

Next, Snape quickly made people realize that Snape was still Snape.Neville was still being taunted, Ron was still being blamed, and Harry was still on the cusp.All these things quickly caused the students to throw their conjecture that "Snape took the wrong medicine" to Atlantis Island.

The preparation of the shrinking potion was still quite difficult for the third graders. Neville almost failed because he added too much leech juice and mouse spleen. Snape even threatened to feed Neville's creation to Neville's pet Raffle. Fortunately, with the help of Hermione, he finally corrected the mistake. When testing the potion, Raffle successfully turned back into a tadpole.

This discovery made Xie Lin very surprised, because he always thought that the purpose of the shrinking potion was to simply shrink the user, but he did not expect that it could restore the creature back to its juvenile form, which made him very interested in the other hidden uses of this potion.
