The Extraordinary Apothecary at Hogwarts

"John?!" Karl smiled bitterly, and she actually called the jackal by his name, "Little John Osbert, you think he has more conscience than his father. His old father is still healthy! Do you believe in old John Osbot? Will Te be pleased to see his 'incomparably kind' son spend a fortune to save the world?"

He just felt like he was telling a horrible joke.

Laura blushed and wanted to retort, but she held back and did not speak. Talking now would only turn into an irrational quarrel.

After a while, Karl seemed to calm down. He turned back to the design drawing and put down his pencil. "If you want to continue the experiment, I will provide you with funds and design instruments. You can always use my inventions. As long as you want to continue the experiment, I will provide you with funds and design instruments." You agree to sever contact with them."

"If you had said that a month ago, I would have been very grateful." Her face quickly turned gray. "When I was chased by reporters and cornered, the first thing I thought of was you. I went through a lot of circles to get there. Avoid them by borrowing a stranger’s owl to deliver your message.”

People who have crawled out of dark experiences will still be shrouded in darkness. Her voice and body twisted sadly under the cover of her clothes, "No one has believed me for a long time. They insist that I am a thief and they burned all my things. Including what you gave me - no matter how hard I begged them to keep some."

Karl looked at her thin face and said, "A month ago, my child was just born, and I was accompanying him in the hospital. I set an owl expulsion spell so that he wouldn't be disturbed. I'm sorry."

"No, don't be sorry. You have your life, and I have mine. John knew that I was studying the genetic laws of magic. He followed the reporters persistently and finally found me and wanted to invite me to join. I am very grateful to him. ." She further added, "He wanted to explore the possibility of giving Muggles magical abilities through non-genetic means."

"Are you sure? Non-genetic, giving Muggles magical abilities?!"

"Don't rush to deny Quan Wu'an. He read my research report on werewolves, which analyzed in detail that the transmission of magical abilities is not limited to reproduction."

Carl is shocked that "Muggles who are bitten by a werewolf die instead of gaining the ability to transform into a werewolf."

"So we have to look for a gentle approach..."

"And turn Muggles into werewolves?" Carl interrupted her angrily.

"Of course not. I'm just referring to the basic principles of this transmission method and exploring the possibility of transmitting the abilities of wizards and other safe magical creatures to Muggles."

"A fantasy." He concluded, "According to my information, John Osbert has recently used some authorities to support Grindelwald's speech. I can't imagine that he really thinks that Muggles should be saved? And he also organized a research The institute specializes in studying how to turn Muggles into wizards?"

Laura tried to explain, "John just agreed that the world would have a better future if wizards ruled it. Grindelwald harmed Muggles, but he wanted to save them, assimilate them, and let Muggles join our camp. And John's Some of these views are consistent with our long-standing philosophy.”

Karl said coldly, "I really can't see how he fits in with us. Your research will be seriously distorted if it falls into the hands of the Umbilical Party, and then becomes a strong basis for their political correctness."

"He is really not in the same group as the Wiccan Party. Like us, he realizes that the average level of wizards is declining and is worried about it. Even if there are a few powerful wizards, the number is too small, and they are not born from big families. The best wizards have little interest in continuing their descendants."

"He really said that?"

"It's absolutely true," Laura was very sure. "Also, he added that many pure-blood families are only superficially glamorous. They have lived a comfortable life where they can control their wealth and be condescending for generations, so they seriously ignore the importance of tempering their magical abilities. . Generation after generation continues to be wasted, and the ability to be inherited continues to shrink and degrade, and sometimes even the talents are not as good as those born in Muggle families."

Laura became more and more excited as she spoke, "After being closed to the outside world, the conservative atmosphere becomes more and more rotten. If this continues, our world will be over! But the wisdom of Muggles in this century is as eye-catching as a sudden enlightenment. If we We can use their clever minds that are wasted due to lack of magic power to make their bodies as complete as ours!"

"Don't be like this Laura, you know I've never liked it when you differentiate between us and Muggles by being complete or not."

"sorry."

"Also, I think Osbert is brainwashing you. He has read the papers you published. What if he made up these words specifically to suit your preferences? He is a very eloquent businessman, and I always treat him very well when I deal with him. Be careful, he may try to trick you for some ulterior purpose..."

"Okay, don't think too much. I haven't published many of my opinions in magazines because that would cause unnecessary trouble. I just wrote them for myself. Now that they are all burned out, there is no way he can read them. get."

"Be careful. I still suspect that he is just drawing a vision based on your ideals that can never be realized. Use your obsessive research project to attract you. After you sign an unchangeable contract, it will be too late. He wants to You signed the contract, right?”

"Yes, I think it's very reasonable. He gave me enough time to think about it and didn't even allow me to sign it on the spot. I had to bring it back for consideration." Laura's eyes moved to the ring he was wearing, "What do you think of those who work for you? Isn't it the same? Use that clan emblem."

Karl took a deep breath, "You can think that I am not a good person, you know? You think that what is before you is an equal contract with clear terms and bound by a magical contract. It's so stupid, so stupid. .”

"Is not it?"

"No, the family emblem is only for me and takes effect on terms that are beneficial to me. It is a family emblem. It naturally only protects my interests and will not take into account yours. It is a unilateral overlord clause - unless you also have a Well, that’s called an equal contract.”

"Is there such a shady story?! I thought I could avoid problems by reading the terms carefully."

"Yes, we evil capitalists have a tacit understanding with each other and will never tell you." He thought he had successfully persuaded her, but he heard her happily making a devastating proposal, "Then why don't you Join us too! He has assembled more than ten talented researchers. If we can cooperate with each other——"

Karl held his head in frustration and messed up his hair, twisting the curls together, "Merlin's beard! Laura, what can I say to change your mind. The worst decision you can make is to believe he!"

"Is it okay to just test it out? If he doesn't dare to sign when he sees you coming, it means he is full of lies."
