The Extraordinary Apothecary at Hogwarts

More and more elves came back to rest after work.

It's quite a novelty that a small visitor came to the kitchen, but he didn't come to ask for food, and it was worth gossip.

Behind Dudu and Sissy, a semicircle was unconsciously surrounded by curious elves.

"The flame she used looks very special, round and lumpy, it doesn't belong to kitchen magic."

"Clara just said that she wants to learn four dishes in a week. It's too difficult. French stuffed pigeon legs are a kung fu dish."

"And she's only 11 years old. It seems that she won't be 12 years old in a few months. It's not bad to be able to hold a knife. Dudu mentioned that Miss Ravenclaw's birthday is after Easter. If it happens, it may be It's the day of the holiday."

"Right, Dudu is much older than her. Do you think it's better for us to prepare a spare one in advance? In case it really fails, she can take the ready-made one directly."

……

It was about an hour before dinner time, and Sissy walked out from behind the oil painting with the aroma of the food on her face, her small breasts rose and fell, and she accidentally burped.

Leaving the underground building along the stairs, the surrounding temperature dropped a bit.The evening wind was mixed with the crowing of owls, bypassing the shrunken spherical thermal layer that Sissy set up for herself, and hurried through the corridor.

At this time, there were only occasional noises from the restricted area in the library.There are always some restless and dangerous books, bound by iron chains, still want to try the possibility of breaking free.

Mrs. Pince leisurely refilled a cup of black tea for herself, and scooped half a spoonful of citrus lemon granulated sugar—from the new Christmas special gift box launched by Luchino Cafe this year.

Instead of being messed up by little troublemakers, endless piles of books, and ultimatums to overdue guys, she can finally enjoy her own relaxing moments in peace.

When Sissy walked in, Mrs. Pince just raised her head slightly, as if she was willing to believe that she would not choose to sneak into the restricted area.

Without the foil of the crowd, the bookshelves lined up look more solemn.

Sissy didn't know if anyone would come here in the evening of the holiday like her, but she could only hear the sound of her own footsteps, walking faster and faster unconsciously.

The small figure quickly passed through the spell book area, without turning in the direction of the potion book, circled around the unfamiliar area several times, and finally stopped in a shaded place next to the corner.

Qianqian glanced across the rows of book titles, selected four or five books, placed them on the small table next to the bookshelf, browsed through them in a casual manner, selected one to hold in her arms, and stuffed the rest back to the original place. bit.

There will be no one here, but it's better to be safe.

The herbal area is relatively close to here, so go there and sit down and watch it slowly.

Sissy tugged at her little cloak, covered the books in her arms tightly, and walked around from the other side of the bookshelf.

To be on the safe side, I picked up two more herbal medicine books and put them on the right side as a cover.

Different from the usual immersive reading, her ears are still paying attention to the movement around her. In an unusually quiet environment, if someone comes, she can hear it at a certain distance.

So cautious, just to learn Occlumency secretly.

Of course, Professor Snape can teach her, but--it's just that she also has secrets that she doesn't want the professor to know!

Like, about her knowing the story behind Harry's green eyes...

If she borrows the book back, firstly, her learning of Occlumency may be directly exposed, and secondly, she will leave a record of borrowing books with Mrs. Pince.

All professors in the school have the right to view any student's library file, and the current list even includes Quirrell!

Even if he is half Voldemort, after all, the thing on the back of his head is still some kind of free state that is difficult to identify.

The dead socket monster, the bald rotten egg, the culprit, the murderer, don't want to destroy our beautiful campus life, but we got the script in advance.

It's just that from the existing information, Sissy can't get in touch with Quirrell, so she can infer that there is a high probability that she can't get close to those Horcruxes. Voldemort seems to have an extraordinary fatal influence on her poor cursed physique.

Letting Professor Dumbledore know and reformulate a more perfect layout is much safer than Sissy's own black-box operation.

If you think conceitedly that you can easily control the overall situation with the key information, you are really wrong, and Sissy cannot afford to go wrong.

Therefore, spoilers must be revealed, but so far, everything is still under the control of Professor Dumbledore, so she doesn't need to worry for the time being.

Voldemort wandered around the school, and Professor Dumbledore couldn't kill him, and he couldn't go away. There was no way to go out to find the Horcrux.

The only, no, the only Horcrux in the school, one is our famous savior.

The other is the Ravenclaw diadem that should be hidden in the Room of Requirement according to the script, but now that she exists as a direct descendant of the founder, it is unknown whether there will be variables.

In the letter, my mother stated that she was not aware of the existence of the diadem, and she also searched the underground vault of Gringotts, but could not find the diadem.

The limited information could not help her determine the whereabouts of the diadem. If the diadem still survived the fate of being turned into a Horcrux and was hidden in such an easy-to-find place, there would be enough time to find it out.

At present, it seems that Sissy has time to think about her own problems.

According to the degree of caution that Dumbledore acted, he would hope to use Legilimency to search out all the details in her mind to ensure that the next plan is foolproof.

Sissy rushed to confess that she couldn't hide her soul from a foreign land or even a different time and space.

For Professor Dumbledore, who knew her situation well and prepared the little red bead to welcome her, she was an impostor who had replaced the original body in a daze, and her origin was unknown and very suspicious;

For the good mother who only met once, but often cared for her in the letter, she is even more fake. Her existence is just a cruel proof-the mother loves with all her heart and holds it in her hands. The baby girl is dead.

The Sissi they knew, the Sissy who hoped to grow up safely, had never been her.

Perhaps, with luck, it would be Dumbledore who was responsible for finding all the useful information and using Legilimency on her.

If it was Professor Snape's Legilimency, she only wanted to lock up the knowledgeable fragments of the professor's emotional history in her memory. At most, the exposure of her identity would make the professor realize her real age and not feel that she had changed. became another person.

She's been here since she went to Hogwarts.What Professor Snape saw and recognized was the real Sissy who was still alive.

The office where other students avoid and see the sun is the place where she can gradually develop a sense of belonging.
