HP: Hogwarts, but pro-generation
Chapter 68 Magic Potion
"Legend has it that witches wear pointed hats." A deliberately lowered voice sounded in the room where candles were lit. The girl who spoke shone the candle on her face. The dim candlelight and the ferocious expression she made made the young girls sitting around hug each other.
"Like me." Emily, the girl who was speaking, put on the hat she had carefully prepared. "They usually have sunken eyes and hooked noses, and they hunch over and stroke their pets, which is the black cat."
Penny couldn't help but sneer when she heard this, but she was considerate of the sisters who practiced ballet with her, so she didn't show it too much, and no one heard her chuckle.
Emily continued, "Her black cloak completely covers her, and the house is very dark, so generally no one can see her. If it weren't for the sound of her mumbling coming from the room, no one would have noticed that someone lived there."
Emily looked at the girls' frightened expressions with satisfaction. She continued in a low voice, "No, you can still notice it. There are always wisps of white smoke coming out of the windows."
"It's a potion!" a girl exclaimed.
"That's right." Someone's praise always inspires the storyteller's passion. Emily seemed even more excited. "The big pot in the corner is boiling lizards, bats, spiders, and poisonous snakes..."
At this point, everyone shuddered, including Penny.
She could disagree with what Emily said about the appearance of witches. After all, Lily and Xia beside her were both very beautiful, and Mrs. Hopps was gentle and generous, which was completely different from what Emily said. And they didn't have black cats as pets, and they didn't mumble to themselves... right?
Lily has a little habit when studying. She likes to repeat in a low voice what she has read and wants to remember. Thea does the same. Is this considered mumbling? Penny thought with some difficulty, but how can studying be considered crazy?
Penny is also a good student with excellent character and academic performance. She certainly doesn't worry about her studies, but if those naughty boys hear that studying is going to drive people crazy, especially when there are those who love studying around them, they are always criticized. The good news is that even if they don't study much, they can cram before the exam and use the ability to stay up late that they have trained from night outings to study, and they can get a score that satisfies their parents.
But these have nothing to do with Penny. She has seen Xia brewing potions at the Hopps' house. They are indeed some lizard tails, spider venom, and snake eyes. Even if they are not, they are not much different. It seems that the legend is still somewhat credible, which is why Penny and the little ballerinas shivered together.
"This...is this really drinkable?" The little girl who had just been cheering spoke again. Emily shone the candle in her hand in her direction, and everyone's eyes looked in that direction.
Lucy swallowed her saliva and said timidly, "Venomous snakes are poisonous. Can we really drink the medicine made from the poison? Won't it kill people?"
Penny was stunned. She had the same doubt for a moment, but she believed that there should be no problem with Xia and Lily's abilities. Besides, the magic world would not allow poisonous potions to harm wizards. They, the wizards, would not be unsure of their own things.
Penny silently comforted herself in her heart, but once the seeds of doubt were planted, it was difficult to pull them out.
Lucy became more and more confident as she spoke. "Let's not talk about whether it's poisonous or not. Who would dare to drink something like that, which looks like mud and has bubbles coming out of it?"
"I say," Xia looked at the cauldron in front of her doubtfully. She squinted her eyes and examined the pot carefully. "Is this drinkable?"
"It says in the book that it should be like a thick slurry that bubbles up before the final ingredient is added." James pushed his glasses up cautiously. He glanced at the cauldron and read the book. "It's the same as what it says in the book. I think it's fine."
As the one who worked hard to make the potion, Ander was naturally full of confidence in himself. He patted his chest and assured Xia, "It's made by Andrick Hopps, guaranteed."
It’s no wonder that Xia was full of doubts about this pot of potion. It was because these two people were trying hard to prevent her from knowing what it was.
When she argued with good reason that as an ally she could not be kept in the dark, the two of them would convince her to read the Potions textbook on her own, saying that this was also an adventure.
It was not difficult to find out what the pot was, but it still took her some time.
Xia first ruled out low-level potions. She compared them with high-level potions and was shocked to find that they were brewing a polyjuice potion.
"No, are you really going to drink it? Polyjuice Potion is very difficult to make, and it takes a month. Didn't you only make it for two days?"
Xia hurried from the library to the potion room. Ender and James were about to drink what they had in their hands, but paused for a moment when they heard Xia's voice.
"Looks like you've figured out what this is." Ender still looked mysterious, as if what he drank wasn't a potion with James' hair added to it but some mysterious holy water. "Yes, this is Polyjuice Potion."
"Of course, we didn't drink the pot we brewed yesterday. We stole it from Aunt Anna." James pointed to a small room in the potion room, where were some potions stored by Anna. They were not usually used, so Anna didn't set up any defenses. Unexpectedly, these two people took advantage of the opportunity.
Hearing that the two people were not drinking what they brewed themselves, Xia breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they still had the brains to not drink it carelessly, and they remembered to take the finished product made by their mother.
