The Extraordinary Apothecary at Hogwarts

With this report as the fuse, the debate about vampires has never stopped in the following weeks.

Opinions within the school gradually divided into two factions:

1. It is believed that vampires are the closest to wizards among non-wizard half-human creatures. There are even a small number of vampires who thrive in wizard society. Not only do they have superior material conditions, but they are also polite and aristocratic.

2. In this category, they have already begun to carry garlic, silver knives, and all kinds of strange shapes that cannot be named, and they are collectively called amulets.

In this regard, the school’s soft and hard tactics are still repeated. If you can’t wear a garlic necklace, you can hide a clove under your tongue, or soak some garlic juice in your handkerchief. You can always do it secretly.

The garlic smell of hot eyes can be easily absorbed with a spell, but during this period of time, the number of incidents where the potion burned through the bottom of the pot increased at an alarming rate. in something.

The rubies in the scoring hourglass have been changing surprisingly frequently lately.

If it goes on like this, it will soon bottom out.

Sissy followed the reduced class schedule, nestled in the study and finished a small thesis on Evil Spirits, but when she was busy writing, she heard some suspicious knocking on the door outside.

During class time, even if you need to find the professor urgently, you should go to the classroom to look for it. Why are you knocking here?

Cici put down the pen with resentment that her thoughts were interrupted, and the unused ink on the pen tip left black spots on the table.

"What?"

Before the end sounded, two hands quickly covered her mouth, "Shh, keep your voice down."

"Well#%@*#" Sissy tried her best to push away the ten fingers that locked her one by one, "You two are not going to class now, what are you doing outside?"

Two tufts of red hair dangled in front of her eyes.

"As you can see, of course he was kicked out!"

"That's why I came to you to beg for shelter."

Sissy leaned her back on the door frame and folded her hands, one leg symbolically blocked the door, "Tell me, what good thing are you doing?"

Being kicked out of the classroom and intending to sneak into someone's office is also courageous enough. I don't think the whole school can single out the third person who dares to do this.

"You know, we've been too busy recently." Fred reached into his pants pocket and took out a handful of gold, silver and copper coins.

George picked up a Galleon from Fred's hand, and waved it before Sissy's eyes twice as if showing off, "But we have gained a lot, and all the hard work is worth it."

In addition to amulets, blood-dropped dentures and other things that satisfy the bad tastes of a few people are also on sale. Can you be busy?

"Okay, let's get to the point. I'm writing, so I don't have time to entertain you guys." Sissy said as if to send her away.

Fred: "Come on, we just didn't hand in our homework, and we didn't throw things in other people's pots."

"Didn't hand in your homework? Usually it won't be um... Honestly tell me how many times you two haven't handed in your homework."

"Not much, not much, just less than a month."

Sissy suppressed the urge to raise her voice and repeated it, "Just, less than a month, isn't that enough? Hurry up and make up for it."

Flow batch ah, really not afraid of death.

If it weren't for the relevant regulations to protect the rights and interests of students, it would be hard to say whether the two of them would have survived to the present day.

"If you ask me to say that writing homework is a waste of time, it's meaningless at all. Pick out the knowledge framework in class, find a book with relevant content, copy a few sentences, and add your own ideas casually. Isn't it just a paper? "

Sissy glanced at the ceiling, "Otherwise, is it possible that each paper requires us to measure the data ourselves? Doesn't the homework serve as a review and consolidation, and then urge students to read related books to supplement themselves?"

Let students engage in independent research?

Pull it down, Mr. Finnigan's unique art can blow up the Gryffindor Tower into the Leaning Tower of Pisa in the wizarding world.

"Then let's go in and sit and write. It's so dangerous outside now. There may be vampires hiding in the dark and preparing to attack us."

Sissy smiled, "I just don't want to be punished to stand outside, I don't believe you are afraid of vampires, that's just nonsense."

"Hey, I was discovered by you, but whether we believe it or not, the criticism of vampires in the newspapers has intensified."

"The crazy woman said fiercely that the Ministry of Magic should set up a commissioner team to wipe them out completely, and the follow-up report can occupy an entire page."

Sissy was a little puzzled.

It has now been corroborated that Earl Honey had lollipops for vampires, and that, according to Hagrid, most pubs offered two or three bloody drinks.

Judging from this, the relationship between wizards and vampires is relatively harmonious.

There are not many descriptions of this in the original book, but judging from the fact that the vampire bloody can be invited to the slug club Christmas party held by Professor Slughorn, it is not difficult to find that wizards have a relatively high tolerance for vampires of.

And Rita Skeeter did make inappropriate remarks on the issue of vampires. She ignored the existing laws and accused the Ministry of Magic of "should have gone all out to eliminate vampires, but wasted time on finding fault with the thickness of the cauldron."

But at present, it seems that the time of this report appeared a lot earlier, and at the same time it aroused strong social repercussions.

What happened, the relationship between wizards and vampires is about to reach a stalemate under the guidance of unscrupulous public opinion?

Sissy couldn't figure it out.

Maybe it's time to write to my mother and ask her to find out what's going on outside of school these days, the nonsense in the newspapers and the absurd behavior of the students is really not helpful.

"Pick your own time so that you don't get caught. When you go out before get out of class, remember to return the chair to its original position and close the door tightly."

Sissy was thinking about vampires in her heart, and when she chanted the spell to make the chair fly away, she almost hit Fred's knee. Fortunately, the speed and weight of the chair were much gentler than that of the Bludger, and he was easily relieved. jump away.

Fred protested dissatisfied: "Wow, Sissy, are you going to kill us for the Ravenclaw batsman before the game?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, if you really have a broken bone, I will definitely heal you, and it won't affect the competition." Sissy put her hands together, her mind was running fast elsewhere, and she listed all kinds of conjectures in her mind, but she didn't realize that the words she said right now were not in the slightest emotional intelligence.

The Daily Prophet is heavily controlled by the Ministry of Magic.

Rita Skeeter is an unscrupulous reporter, but not a brainless reporter.

This woman knows too well what to write that can catch people's attention and earn royalties, and what to write will touch a minefield, adversely affect herself, or even go to jail.

From this point of view, the Ministry of Magic has an ambiguous attitude towards the incident that has been fermenting recently. It does not support it, does not stop it, and allows it to develop naturally.
