The Extraordinary Apothecary at Hogwarts

"It's okay, Sissy, Professor Sprout has thought about it for us, and he has raised cheese fungus, which can be used to detoxify!" Phillips bent his knees and jumped from the top of a small bucket of fully fermented dragon dung compost Pass,

"Come on, step over here, they are over here, super soft and cute. I dare not look closely for too long. Not only does it look like cheese, but it also smells salty. I can't help but want to take a bite of it." eat."

"Then—how about you take a bite, anyway, the cheese fungus is not poisonous all the time." Sissy responded to his words, and looked around briefly, her eyes were on a small golden bark tree surrounded by a copper cage stand still.

The plants and mushrooms in Greenhouse No. [-] are either aggressive and violent, or they look harmless to humans and animals but are highly poisonous, or they are too difficult to maintain, and they will melt, spontaneously ignite, choke each other, and separate if you are not careful. I'll show you in minutes.

"Oh, by the way, you just said that the cheese fungus can detoxify the poison of the mangostridium, and you mean using its secretions, right?" Sissy squatted down, stretched out her thumb and gestured in the air, The few spherical cheese mushrooms whose diameter exceeds the length of her thumb can be considered fully mature.

It's just that the current time and temperature conditions can't produce the phenomenon of dripping, and it can't be observed temporarily.

Phillips looked at Professor Sprout with his help-seeking eyes, "I only know that mushroom tears can detoxify, um——I don't know if that means the same thing, the word you just mentioned."

Professor Sprout rolled his eyes with a smile and patiently explained, "Yes, Phillips, the drip is the tears of the mushrooms in your mouth. Your words are very vivid. In the warm and humid late nights and early mornings, our little mushrooms drink When the water is full and the breathing is very vigorous, tears will slowly overflow from the pores. This interesting process is called dripping in the language of herbal medicine."

"Warm and humid late night and early morning, strong breathing, DMI, professor, how should I spell DMI?" Phillips skillfully took out a small book and matching short pen from his pocket, and recorded the key words just mentioned.

"Come on, I'll write it for you." Professor Sprout wiped his hands on his apron, squatted down and continued after writing, "Look at Phillips, we learned a great new knowledge today, seven The brothers and sisters in the grade just learned this, but you already know it by now, don't you? You are really good!"

Sissy continues to be a shining light bulb, and Professor Sprout's encouragement comes from the heart, sincerity and warmth.

No wonder Neville can show his talent in herbal medicine, few people can give such comfort and encouragement.He'd become a bird of terror in Potions class, petrified at the slightest glance, if only Professor Snape could be a little bit like...

Rubbing his little head, against his will, he boasted to the little monster splashing the liquid medicine in the crucible, "Oh, you are awesome."

Hiss, Sissy shrank her shoulders uncomfortably and tugged at her sleeves, goosebumps almost crawling all over her back.

Professor Sprout turned his gaze to Sissy, "Go back and ask Professor Snape if he needs this kind of material, and come and get it if you want it."

When Qianqian heard it, there was no need, she had to know this question, if she still went to ask the question after reading the content, it would be a waste of time, her round head would be knocked into a flat top.

"I just happened to know this, um--there are not many known applicable scenarios. It is a relatively rare material. It can be used with other materials such as bezoar to make the antidote for the ink-drop umbrella, and when making individual pastes Will be used."

Rarely used, but does this affect her stocking?

It doesn't matter at all!

Cheese mushrooms are delicate and difficult to maintain, and the collection of dripping liquid is troublesome. The key usable range is still narrow, and no one sells such things outside.

It belongs to the kind of special material that is usually dismissed, but can't be found when it is used urgently.

Stock up, must stock up!

In case the professor's storage room is filled up by her one day, she will put it in her own treasury.

As long as you don't open the book area in the vault and store some small things in other places through the ring, there is no problem at all.

"How can there be so many things in a small head?" Sprout was puzzled, and messed up the top of Sissy's head.

What did Severus do to her? Could it be that the intelligence enhancer, refresher, and talent potion are used as water in rotation?

There are seven years in school, there is no need to push too hard, look at the child, his head is about to explode.

"It's hard work for you to get up early. I'll take care of them here every day, but I really don't have time to help you collect them."

Sissy smiled and hung the two flying strands of hair back behind her ears, "No problem, I can get up. The effect of making the antidote for the ink-dropping umbrella is much better than using it alone. I will send a small bottle when it is ready. Come here, keep it as a spare, in case some students get poisoned by mistake."

"Okay, just come and get it, my good boy." Sprout stroked her hair lovingly again, bringing out a few short locks of hair near the temples from the ponytail without any surprise.

Sissy: ...my hair

How about you still treat me a little colder?

Didn't do anything good, just reciprocity, basically polite.

After the astronomy class at night, Sissy stayed on the Astronomy Tower, letting the cool wind blow her hair to her cheeks, and drenched her head, which had to work overtime every night to practice Occlumency, with a hearty starlight shower. So I got back a lot late.

Snape looked up at her when he entered the door, and pushed away the stack of books in his hand, "See for yourself what time it is? Don't get up early tomorrow to go to the greenhouse, mushrooms won't run away with long legs."

In the beginning, the professor would definitely ask her what she was doing to make sure she didn't do anything close to danger, but then he seemed to let go slowly.

Sissy nodded, "If you don't plan to sleep yet, I'll get a pot to drink."

Snape hummed briefly, put down the silver quill when Sissy came up with the teapot, leaned sideways on the back of the chair, and looked at her slightly seriously, "I noticed that you seem to be resting recently Very bad, is there anything you want to tell me?"

Sissy opened her mouth slightly, and looked away slightly, almost staring at the place where the ears were hidden behind the black hair.

She expected that her latest anomaly would be noticed, but she was still a little bit flustered, and the way to hide her emotions seemed to have suddenly failed here.

Obviously not facing the invasion of Legilimency, the wands are placed far away.

"Yes, yes," Sissy murmured as if drinking a bottle of Veritaserum.
