From Azkaban To Hogwarts

"Study and Observation on Improved Pharmacy of Wolf Venom Pharmacy".

Slughorn leaned back in his rocking chair and was taken aback by the title of the cover as he watched the special supplement to Apothecary Today magazine from the Society of Extraordinary Apothecaries that had been delivered this morning.

'I said why the temporary supplement suddenly appeared... No wonder, no wonder...'

In the wizarding world, no matter how big or small, even the largest Extraordinary Apothecary Association in the entire British magic world can't ensure that every issue of its own has something to say, and most of the content is a few improvements in general medicine. Type discussions or some kind of drug research.

As the most expansive drug in recent years, the wolf venom drug is naturally worthy of the association to issue a special issue for it - of course, of course, it will be stuffed with some not-so-substantial articles as supplements...

'Wolf Venom Potion, Belby is really diligent, how long has it been since the first version of the potion appeared...'

He picked up a piece of candied pineapple, and while enjoying the food, he happily read this article, which was theoretically the only article worth reading in this supplement.

'Animagus? Interesting, really interesting - he can even find such rare material, it's hard for him...'

There are only a few Animagus in the UK, and they are not too few compared to werewolves. Slughorn couldn't help but sigh at Belby's sharpness. The potion is so magical, sometimes it's just a little bit worse. , you can observe qualitative changes.

'Animagus' five hairs (4 inches in length), three Animagus down hairs (two inches in length) after his transformation, silver powder (10g), sap from Flobber caterpillars...'

He counted the medicinal materials in the same way, and the candied fruit he held in his hand stopped. Except for the hair and fluff of Animagus, the rest of the materials were cheap and scary, and the cost of a single dose of medicine was the most difficult to obtain. In the part, there is not even a single Galleon!

Well... a galleon is indeed not a small amount of money, but compared to the magical effect of a potion, a galleon is not unacceptable.

Compared with the slightly expensive cost of the first version, the vast majority of users of this version of the drug can accept it.

'The formula has been modified... I don't know how the drug works, as long as it achieves the previous effect of more than 70%, it is a very successful improvement...'

Slughorn praised him. He was not the kind of person who didn't know the hardships of the people. Although he had been complaining to Dumbledore that his salary was a little low, he would be happy for a long time even if the students only gave him a pineapple preserve.

‘Can you suppress transformation when the moon is full? ’

He stood up abruptly, his mouth widened, and he didn't even notice that the candied fruit slipped - can the transformation effect be suppressed when the moon is full? It even allows the user to communicate normally, instead of only sleeping like the first version of the potion?

'Merlin's beard! ’

Slughorn stood on the ground excitedly, walking around—just kidding, kidding, what an improved potion! It's a brand new potion! The shock it brings is no worse than the shock brought by the wolf poison potion just came out!

‘What about the side effects, what about the side effects? ’

Slughorn rummaged through quickly and quickly found the descriptions of the side effects.

[It will make the user overly excited, unable to get up the next day, and may even fall asleep directly. 】

[It will be accompanied by a certain pain in the skull and loss of appetite. 】

[The transformed werewolf will fall into a state of drowsiness after taking it, and cannot change back immediately, but will return to its original appearance when the moonlight disappears the next day. (Note: It seems to be a little more spiritual, but this experiment has serious dangers, please do not re-enact it easily.)]

[Subsequent side effects observation and subsequent formulation of drugs will be published in the next issue. 】

'That's it? ’

He took another look and found that there was nothing he missed. Only then did he confirm that the new medicine did have some side effects—it was over without incident at the time, and the subsequent side effects? What is that, there are so many potions, can't it be adjusted?

'Want to try...'

He stuffed the remaining pineapple preserves into his mouth, but he couldn't taste too much sweetness-a brand new medicinal formula was placed in front of him, how could he not try it?

As a top pharmacist, he naturally has a very sturdy laboratory decorated with complete materials.

'It's all common drugs, I have them over there - just Animagus hair...'

He thought about it in pieces. He didn't need much material, just a few hairs, but the problem was that there were only a few Animagus in the UK.

'Go through the list and see if you know anyone...'

He is very confident about this - a huge network of people, good relationships, big things can't be done well, what's the problem with a few hairs?

Soon, Slughorn had the Animagus roster from the students.

"Just like that?"

His eyes widened - only seven? Or a century ago?

However, he quickly found the names of people he knew from above - after all, wizards in the UK are basically from Hogwarts.

'This is a student...Unfortunately, not in the club, it is not appropriate to write a letter to have hair. ’

'I have never taught this...'

'this…'

He was stunned because he saw Minerva's name...

'In order to boil a potion, to ask Minerva for hair? ’

On one side were the unfamiliar students, and on the other was the familiar vice-principal - Slughorn couldn't help tangled.

'correct! Belby! ’

He suddenly remembered that the discoverer of the potion had come, this experiment would definitely require a lot of hair loss, and he didn't believe that Belby could shave Professor McGonagall's hair.

Picking up the supplement again, Professor Slughorn watched from the author's side.

"Eh? And Professor William?"

He grew his mouth, and he wasn't very familiar with that Professor William—because he took part of Severus's job after re-teaching, and because of guilt, he silently supported Severus on some things.

Although it wasn't like Severus was directly hostile to the people in the Self-Defense Office, the communication was definitely not too much, at most it was just a nodding acquaintance.

'It was actually researched together...he was Belby's student? No, if it's a student, it won't be in this position, collaborator? ’

'That professor's potion talent is so high? ’

"It's a pity... If it wasn't for Severus, maybe we could communicate well and give pointers to the younger generation - but it looks like that Professor William has also made some achievements in potions..."

He shook his head, then found another special name.

'Sirius Black? ’

"Yes! Sirius Black! I remembered, the papers said he was an illegal Animagus, so he was the one being studied!"

"That's right, that's right, Potter is still his godson, so I opened so many small stoves for Potter this semester. It's just a few hairs. It's not a big problem!"

—

"Severus, why did you end your vacation early?"

In the vice-principal's office, Professor McGonagall looked suspiciously at Snape who appeared in the castle.

She was very curious. Snape's house was in Spider End Alley, where he spent his usual vacations. He had never heard of his plans to return to school early.

But beyond her expectations, Snape, who used to be able to sneer with her in the past, was a little—well, clumsy today.

This is really intriguing. If she didn't know the strength of the professor in front of her, and the addition of some new protections in the castle, she would have suspected that the person in front of her had been secretly changed.

"That's it, Minerva..."

Snape, who used to laugh without restraint, even stammered, "I need some of your hair, and some hair in your Animagos form."

? ? ?

Professor McGonagall's eyes widened, unable to believe what he had heard.

"Sorry, Severus, I didn't catch it very well."

"I need some of your hair and hair in Animagus form."

It was smooth talk this time, but Snape now wanted to pull out his wand and fight the initiator for a duel.

The new wolf's poison potion had appeared, but it was the first time he had encountered such an embarrassing situation - he, Severus, the potions professor at Hogwarts, the man with the most recognized potion stockpile, couldn't get a new one. Pharmacy materials!

Even if he was a beginner in divination, he was able to do it well, but when it came to potions, he couldn't figure out the raw materials?

And because he can't figure out the raw materials, he is likely to be the only one among the top pharmacists who hasn't mastered the new potion refining method?

What a joke!

How could the dignity of a potions master be so provoked? He, Snape, had never done a potion that even had a recipe published and hoped that everyone could help improve it?

Shame, it's too shameful, he even learned the wolf poison potion, which he had never thought about boiling, how could he still lag behind in improvement?

But if you can't get it, you can't get it. Potions and Transfiguration belong to the industry that is not next to each other. Maybe McGonagall knows all the Animagus, but he can't - there are only seven legal in the UK, and he is not familiar with any of them. !

What about illegal?

No, Wormtail is crazy, and Dumbledore has permanently abolished the ability of Animagus, and he is even less likely to find the semi-legal Sirius. The only illegal Animagus who can be found through a relationship with a little hope is Rita, who is still squatting in Azkaban for ten years...

But that idiot Animagus is a beetle - is it possible to pull out the beetle's legs and use it as medicine? Not to mention that this is tantamount to improving the potion, it may not be able to change Rita's whole stew, and to take a step back, even if she agrees, how many legs does the beetle have?

After calculating, among the people he knew, there was only one left who could provide him with the raw materials of the medicine.

Minerva McGonagall.

"Hair? And Animagos-like hair?"

Professor McGonagall looked at Snape suspiciously, seriously doubting whether he had drunk the wrong potion today.

Leaving aside some damning questions - want her hair?

She uses Animagos in the classroom to show the students, not to have people plucking hair today!

This kind of behavior is absolutely not allowed - if you dare to come and pluck your hair today, are you going to come over to grab the Academy Cup tomorrow?

"It's like this..."

Snape finally began to explain, before Professor McGonagall explained.

—

"Another one!"

Sirius stayed in his own home and was going crazy.

So far away, those people are pulling their own hair and fur!

Is it possible to refuse? cannot…

A well-known pharmacist in the UK, a well-known pure-blood family in the UK...with a kind tone and sincere words, as long as you are willing to pluck your hair, our family owes you a favor.

If you switch to another family, you have to consider whether it can be honored, but the surname Blake is very secure—of course, there is also no way to refuse, because they are all relatives...

Although many wizards are reluctant to admit werewolves, it cannot be denied that some purebloods have actually been bitten, and even if there are no werewolves at home, who can't be prepared?

The previous wolf poison medicine will still turn into a wolf, but now, after taking it, it is almost impossible to distinguish it. This medicine must be tried to configure!

But everyone has the list - except for the family who can find the rest, it is the most convenient for the rest to find Sirius.

Should I write to Hogwarts for Professor Minerva McGonagall?

What are you kidding, that person's hair can be imagined?

Moreover, using Sirius's hair - this is holy blood, maybe it has a special effect! The logic of those pharmacists is not good, they have to find some ordinary wizards...

All in all, having a relationship with the Black family for this is a good entry point. Human love, you owe me what I owe you, and the natural relationship will be fine.

"My hair…"

Sirius took the letter off—and sure enough, it was to please people again.

'I finally understand why I was told not to worry... Co-author already knew this...'

'Fortunately, all you need to do is cut your hair short...'

He couldn't help but rejoice—if it was uprooted, it would be too miserable.

'I can't refuse it—and, when I got the position of school director, I actually owed a lot of favors, and I should pay it back...'

"Sirius? What happened?"

Harry suddenly appeared, and he found that Sirius was looking at a pile of letters with a puzzled look on his face, a little concerned.

"Nothing, some social activities that can't be denied..."

Sirius sighed with emotion. He had a hunch that in the future, his hairstyle would be fixed into that extremely short hairstyle...

'I made a lot of jokes with people, but this time I was made a big joke...'

"Da da."

Just when Sirius sighed, the window of UU reading www.uukanshu.com was knocked.

"Another one..."

His face was neither sad nor happy, and his eyes were a little lost.

"How are you, Sirius?"

Harry asked with some concern, "Why don't you let the professor see it for you, he's very good at potions."

"Yeah... I'm very good at it. I have to thank him for cheating me..."

The interpersonal contacts that had been vacant for more than ten years have all returned at once, and he can even imagine that his life will be more convenient in the future... But...

"Harry."

"Ok?"

"Animagus is a life-saving thing, so don't tell anyone if it's okay!"

? ? ?

Harry didn't know why, but nodded heavily and agreed.
