Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Hermione pulled Lavender out of the common room. Fortunately, there were not many people in the corridor at this time, and they could easily see the backs of Harry and Ron.

Seeing this, Lavender was about to rush over quickly, but Hermione accidentally caught her and watched her run over.When Hermione chased after him, Ron kept saying those extremely hurtful words.

"Love potion?" Hermione asked Harry in a low voice, and Harry nodded while pulling Ron towards the stairs, still saying to himself, "Aren't you looking for Romilda? Come on... …”

Lavender's tears welled up in her eyes again, and she felt extremely anxious.She heard what Hermione just said and already knew what happened to Ron.

"What to do, Hermione?"

"Let's follow!"

Harry and Ron were in front, Hermione and Lavender were behind, and they soon arrived at Slughorn's door.Harry knocked anxiously on the door, and opened it as soon as he knocked.

"Harry, it's too early..." Slughorn, wearing green velvet pajamas, glanced sleepily at Harry and Ron, as well as Hermione and Lavender not far behind them.

"Sorry Professor," Harry said softly while trying to stop Ron who was about to rush in.

"My friend Ron accidentally took the love potion. Can you give him some antidote? I wanted to take him to Madam Pomfrey, but things from Weasley's Wizard Wheezes are prohibited, so... It would be embarrassing if asked..."

"Didn't you get him an antidote, Harry?" Slughorn asked after regaining consciousness.

"I have never prepared an antidote to a love drug, Professor. When I do, maybe Ron..."

"Where is she! I can't see her, Harry!" Harry was explaining when Ron suddenly started wailing.

This voice also woke up Slughorn. He looked at the excited Ron with interest and asked, "Is the potion not expired? You know, the longer it is left, the stronger the effect will be."

"I don't know, but it's been at least three months." Harry said breathlessly, and he had to use most of his strength to stop Ron.

"Okay, come in, and Miss Granger and Miss Brown, come in..." Slughorn understood and stepped aside, "This antidote is not difficult..."

As soon as he got out of the way, Ron jerked away from Harry and rushed in. His eyes kept scanning Slughorn's crowded study, and he kept muttering Romilda's name.

At this time, Hermione walked in holding a crying Lavender and showed an apologetic expression to Slughorn.

"Sorry to bother you, Professor."

"It's okay, it's okay, like I said, the antidote is very simple..." Slughorn said, opening his medicine bag and adding various ingredients into a glass bottle.What's amazing is that when those strange-colored ingredients are thrown into the bottle, the liquid inside becomes clearer.

"Drink it, it will keep you calm." Slughorn handed the glass bottle to Ron, "You don't want that beautiful lady to see your anxious look, do you? Trust me. , ladies don’t like that.”

"Really, that's great!" Ron took the bottle after hearing this and drank the antidote impatiently.

Harry and the others looked at Ron, and not long after, they saw the smile on his face slowly disappear, leaving only extreme fear.

"Luoluo!" Upon seeing this, Lavender immediately rushed over and hugged Ron.Ron's body was trembling, and he let Lavender help him sit on the armchair next to him.

He didn't speak, just held Lavender's hand tightly.

"Back to normal?" Slughorn smiled, and Harry also smiled.

"Thank you, Professor." Lavender thanked him gratefully.

"You're welcome, kid." Slughorn said, "I have been teaching for so many years, and this is not the first time I have seen this kind of thing. He needs to cheer up. This is what he needs now."

With that said, Slughorn walked towards a table filled with various drinks.

"Believe me, this emptiness of broken love needs some pleasant drinks... Let me see, I have butterbeer, wine, and the last barrel of mead... Well, I wanted to give it to Deng Blido makes Christmas gifts..."

"Forget it, he doesn't know anyway, why don't we open it and celebrate Mr. Weasley's disillusioned love?"

Everyone except Ron laughed, even Lavender who was still in tears.

Slughorn poured everyone a glass of mead, raised the glass and said: "Come on, here's to Rover..."

"It's Ron..." Harry reminded in a low voice, but Slughorn didn't seem to hear him and continued to smile and say his toast.

Harry felt a little helpless and looked at Hermione who was smiling slightly, but saw her shrugging.He looked at Ron and Lavender again, only to find that Ron's glass was empty.

"Well!"

"Ron!"

Lavender screamed, but the cup in Ron's hand had fallen to the ground.He grabbed his neck with both hands and tried to stand up from the chair, but he fell down. His limbs began to twitch violently and foam came out of his mouth.

"Professor! Think of a way!" Harry shouted, but Slughorn seemed not to hear him. He froze on the spot and kept mumbling that it was impossible.

With an anxious look on his face, Harry ignored the stunned Slughorn and rushed straight to his medicine bag.But Hermione was faster. She poured out the contents of the medicine bag, grabbed a bezoar and ran back.Harry could see clearly that the stone was the stone that Slughorn had taken away from him in Potions class before.

"Pry his mouth open!" Hermione shouted, and before she could finish her words, Harry ran over and pried off Ron's mouth with Lavender.As soon as it was pried open, Hermione stuffed the bezoar inside.

In just a few seconds, Ron shivered violently, his limbs stopped twitching and went limp.

"Luoluo, Luoluo..." Lavender cried and knelt down beside him, watching Ron's breathing gradually calm down.But his eyes were still closed and he looked extremely weak.

At this time, Harry took out the bezoar from Ron's mouth and threw it aside.He grabbed Ron's arm again and tried to pull him up from the ground.

Before exerting any force, Ron's body floated up from the ground, and Hermione saw that she had pulled out her wand at some point.

"Don't stay here, send him to the campus hospital..." With that, Hermione walked out the door, Ron's body floating behind her.Upon seeing this, Lavender quickly got up from the ground and followed closely.

Harry also chased after him. Before leaving the door, he looked back at Slughorn, who was still standing there, and a guess came to his mind:

Is this poison not aimed at Slughorn?
