Sequence Potions at Hogwarts

Coming to the Whomping Willow, Nix warned: "Don't come without me. This tree is alive and will attack anything that approaches. I have a special way to keep it from moving."

"I see, brother. Are we studying here?" Tifa worried.

"No, you wait." Nix could feel that there were scattered branches around him.After turning around twice, he collected the remaining branches and said, "Let's go."

Taking Tifa into the tree hole, the little girl was very surprised and asked, "Is this the rabbit hole in "Alice in Wonderland"?"

"No, this is a secret passage." Nix replied. "Alice in Wonderland" is a story told when I was a child to lull Tifa to sleep. Most of the scenes in it can find their prototypes in the wizarding world.

After finding the Mandrake, Nix breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he was not poached by Lao Deng.It seems that Lao Deng thinks that there is no need to return it to Professor Sprout.Without this mandrake, the Knicks' grand plan would be in jeopardy.

Mandrake leaves are necessary for performing the Animagus Transfiguration Ritual, and they can also be used to make a powerful restoration potion to restore the body if the Animagus Ritual fails.

"Do you have your cauldron?" Nix asked.

"Take it." Tifa said.

"Take it out, and I'll teach you how to configure the potion for treating boils," Nix said.

Tifa took out the cauldron, and Nix gave her the ingredients.

"Crush the teeth first... boil the slugs... add the porcupine quills..."

All the steps were perfect, but when the potion was about to take shape, Nix found that Tifa kept muttering something.Listen carefully, what she chanted is "must succeed, must succeed."

Nix didn't care, and continued to stare at the cauldron.He is extremely sensitive to magic because it is difficult to control.

A wisp of magic from Tifa slowly drifted down into the cauldron, and then the pot began to smoke.

Nix covered his mouth and nose, but the smoke was getting thicker and thicker, and Tifa could no longer be seen clearly.He cast a spell on the cauldron to cleanse it of its contents.

Without the potion, the smoke gradually dissipated. Tifa knew the consequences of smelling the smoke, and had already hid in the corner.

"You cast a spell on the potion." Nix affirmed.

"I didn't." Tifa retorted.

"I noticed that a ray of magic power has entered the crucible. If you want to brew potions, you must control your magic power so that it doesn't come out randomly, otherwise next time it will not only smoke, but may even explode," Nix said. .

Tifa asked: "Brother, is there any potion, help me control the magic power from falling into the cauldron."

"No, if I had, I would have drunk it long ago. Don't forget that my Transfiguration is also difficult to control."

After speaking, to prove it, Nix cast a spell on the cauldron on the ground, trying to turn it into a pink pig.As a result, only half of them succeeded, and the other half was still the crucible.

Looking at the pig's head up, its two front legs slipping around, and the crucible's half pig is still underneath.Tifa kept giggling, Nix waved his hand, canceled the transformation, and said, "You need to control the magic power, don't accidentally cast spells on the potion."

After Bontifa found out the reason, Nicks used polymorph to ripen the mandrake, picked off a few leaves and planned to leave.

Tifa reached out to grab it, and asked curiously, "Brother, what is this?"

"Don't move, you'll know later, it's dangerous, but it's useful." Nix took Tifa's little hand.

The two slowly crawled out of the hole, and just as they came up, they saw Professor Snape with an ugly face.

"I don't think you want to burn the Whomping Willow!" Snape said in a sinister tone.He saw the thick smoke and thought the Whomping Willow was on fire, and when he arrived, he found Nix and Tifa climbing out of the tree hole.

"Of course, professor, I didn't intend to burn the Whomping Willow, I just practiced the potion you taught today." Nix replied.

"Nix Lestrange, do you need to practice potion making? And there is no potions class for the second year today." Snape thought that Nix was lying.

Tifa who just came out said weakly: "Professor, brother is teaching me potions."

When Snape heard Tifa's words, his expression became indescribable. After a while, he said, "You'd better find a place where you can be noticed. I don't want no one to find out after you are poisoned. A pile of dry bones."

"Okay professor, next time we will cook the potion in the castle courtyard." Nix replied.

Snape gritted his teeth because he was trying to anger him. All he could do was to deduct points from Knicks, but the deduction of points was meaningless to Knicks.Forget it, on the one hand, it's not worth it, on the other hand, according to the potion level of Knicks and Tifa, his inventory is very dangerous.

Tifa was very scared, Snape put a lot of pressure on her, and asked in a low voice: "Brother, what should we do, won't we deduct points again?"

Nix shook his head, thinking that it doesn't matter if the points are deducted, but he is afraid of confinement.

"Hmph, you should be thankful that there were no serious consequences, otherwise you would be expelled." Snape threatened.

Tifa was frightened, and asked in a low voice behind Nix: "What should I do?"

"It's okay." Nix comforted her, and then said to Snape: "Professor, don't worry, we have a measure."

Nix wanted to bend Whomping Willow and stroke him, but he was not capable enough to do it.

Tifa whispered: "Brother, come on."

Her voice was small, but both Nix and Snape heard it, and their expressions changed.

Snape felt that he should not quarrel with Nix, which would detract from his dignity.Nix felt that Tifa's words caused trouble. It might have been just a matter of oral education, but now it will be deducted points, or even confinement.

"You shouldn't have given her the ability to cast spells," Snape said.He was the guide for the Knicks, and it was obvious from the beginning that Tifa was a Squib.He was surprised to see Tifa at the start-of-term banquet.But thinking about Filch, and then thinking about the Knicks, it's not surprising.

Tifa performed very badly in potions class, and Snape felt that maybe the wizards made by potions were much worse than normal little wizards.

In addition, Voldemort lurked into the school last year, and now he doesn't know where he is hiding. It is very dangerous for a little girl to become a wizard.

In Snape's view, Nix could give the old Filch the ability to cast spells. It wouldn't be better to let the little girl enter the magic world after a few years, after Voldemort's affairs had passed.

But Nix knew that Voldemort would eventually fail, and if he didn't let Tifa participate in the battle with Voldemort, he might be blamed for a lifetime in the future, and in serious cases, he might never get in touch with him.

"Her wish, as an older brother, I have the ability, of course I must fulfill it."

Snape gave up preaching, and said to the two, "Go back to the castle now, and don't get any closer to the Whomping Willow."

Nix breathed a sigh of relief, he was not deducted points, and was not placed in confinement. He took Tifa away quickly while Snape was meditating.
