Blessing Potion [Comprehensive British and American]

It was a young witch who spoke, with blue eyes and dark flaxen hair.His hair was cut short, and he looked like a handsome boy.

"Come here, don't be afraid." The witch beckoned to him.

She came out from behind the table in breeches and boots, and met Cyril in the middle of the room.

"Look, this is actually a little test." She said and waved a light brown wand, and Cyril found that the duck-billed dog body in his arms had turned into a swallow-tailed dog, and was now snorting happily in his arms tongue.

"Come here, Ellie!" the witch barked, and the dog named Ellie jumped out and ran into her arms.

"Hello, my name is Fiona Scamander, you can call me Fiona. I am a freelance magic creature researcher and one of the judges of your competition. This is my pet, Ellie."

Fiona stretched out a hand with a smile, and briefly shook hands with Cyril, then continued to comfort the puppy in her arms, and praised its performance in a low voice.Cyril noticed a circle of lovely little freckles on her fair face.

"Hello, Fiona. Judges and teachers, hello everyone." Cyril greeted the teachers present politely, and then stood in the middle of the room.

"Good morning, kid. Let's introduce ourselves! Actually, we didn't expect someone to complete the task so quickly. Now we haven't got all the people here, but it doesn't matter." A hale and hearty old man said with a smile.

"Oh, yes. My name is Cyril Maclean. I'm a fourth-year Hogwarts Slytherin student."

"Wow~McLean!" Fiona muttered in a low voice, and exchanged meaningful glances with the other judges.

The old man who asked the question before was about to say something, but was interrupted by the sound of the door opening behind him.

Cyril stared at the person who came in, and his eyes widened.

"Grandpa! Granny! Oh my God!"

"Hi, my little baby! You have grown so tall! I told your grandpa that I will definitely see you in this competition!" Vera walked in quickly wearing a knitted dress, and hugged Bi She also has a grandson a couple of centimeters taller.

Grandpa Edward, wearing a checked shirt and an outdoor vest, also walked over quickly, silently hugging his grandson whom he hadn't seen for many years, patted his shoulder by the way, and gave Hulu a head.

Although grandparents travel around the world, looking for all kinds of interesting magical animals and plants in every corner of the world, they don’t stay at home all the year round, but they send their group photos and various "trophies" every year, so Cyril recognizes them at a glance without any effort. out of their own family.

Blood relationship is one of the most wonderful relationships. Even if we gather less and leave more, the boy still feels the deep love and bond when he hugs his grandparents.

"Then, I think we will leave the rest of the questions to our old buddy! Edward?" The old man who wanted to ask the question before naturally handed over the right to speak to Cyril's grandfather.

"My grandson has always been excellent. Look, he was the first to come in! I have nothing to ask." Edward patted his grandson on the shoulder arrogantly, gently pulled him out of his grandma's arms, and pushed him in front of everyone.

"I have no objection, Ali said he was very kind. Right baby?" Fiona shook the swallowtail dog in her arms and said with a shrug.

Ai Li gave a powerful "Wow", which was a response.

Several other middle-aged men and women exchanged a few words with each other in a low voice, and they all shook their heads to express that there was no problem.

Things were settled so "smoothly".

"Honey, see you at lunch later, we brought you a lot of interesting things." Vera said gently to her grandson.

"Go back and rest, grandson. You are better than I imagined, and we are proud of you." Edward walked to the table, picked up the parchment and wrote something on it, and then handed it to several other people, and everyone took out their wands one after another After poking it on the parchment, it seemed that some kind of ritual had been completed.

"Okay, go this way, see you at noon!" Vera led Cyril to the door behind them, and Cyril hurriedly took a step forward and opened the door first.

"See you at noon, grandpa and grandma. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen." The boy bowed slightly and quickly left the classroom on the west side.

He felt that it was necessary to contact his father urgently. The grandparents who hadn't been home for thousands of years came back and appeared at the five-school league match!

Cyril turned a corner and went downstairs to Professor Snape's dean's office. He knew that the only way to contact his father was there.

After confirming that Snape was there, Cyril opened the door with a password. To his surprise, there was another familiar face in the office besides the professor.

"Good morning Professor Snape. Hi, Biscuit. Why are you here?"

"Cyril, good morning. I'm here to deliver a document for the young master." Biscuit turned around expressionlessly, with her back straight.

"Is Benny at the manor? I just happened to need him."

"The young master is out, but he will come to Hogwarts at noon, if you are not in a hurry, you can contact him at noon."

"Then I'll talk to him again at noon, it's actually not that urgent..." Cyril frowned slightly, and replied softly.

"Okay." Biscuit nodded, turned around and continued to complete his task.

Snape looked a lot better than when he saw him in the morning, probably because he had taken a shower, his hair was hanging loosely around his face, and his face was not faded.

Looks like he's been using refreshment...

Snape seemed to feel the boy's gaze, and raised an eyebrow slightly, expressing a question.

Cyril asked: "Professor, can I have a bottle of refreshment?"

Snape was silent for two seconds, and replied firmly: "No."

"Oh."

"Go to the fifth reagent bottle in the second row in the cabinet on the left. Three drops."

"Okay."

Biscuit didn't make a sound the whole time, and stayed quietly by the table to cosplay a wood carving.

Cyril took out the potion according to the instructions, opened the fan and smelled it, and said with some disappointment, "Why is it a drink of the water of life and death?"

"You guys don't have class in the morning, so you can go get a good night's sleep. Three drops of the dose are enough for you to sleep until noon without missing lunch." Snape replied calmly without making a sound of sarcasm.

"Then I'll take it and return the rest to you. See you at noon, the professor."

"Ah."

Although the conversation in the morning ended without a problem, Cyril still didn't know why Snape was so angry, but this did not prevent him from continuing to stick to the professor and be a motivated little tail.

He had already thought about it on the way to the re-examination. No matter whether the professor had premature menopause or other secrets, he couldn't stand the professor's sarcastic and dismissive treatment of him. Therefore, since the professor avoided answering, he pretended have no idea.

Slytherin has never voluntarily given up anything, especially the Slytherin prefect, even if the object is the Slytherin Snake King.

In fact, for a moment just now, he wanted to ask the professor if he had read the two letters in his book... But the moment they met, he forgot.

never mind.The master-student relationship finally eased a little bit, more things are worse than less things... Cyril held the potion bottle in his hand, convinced himself, and returned to the dormitory calmly.

As for grandparents and dad... Let them meet at noon to surprise each other... He finished the retest, overworked his brain, and is now terribly tired... Cyril deeply felt that what the professor said was right, he just needed to rest.

Every day, I have to take the newborn Xiaomao, answer questions, solve troubles, and attend classes.After class, I also practice Quidditch... Sometimes I have to watch the night with the professor.In addition to going to Professor Snape's office to study, he also took time every night to look up the method of marking.

Just thinking about it makes me feel like my body has been hollowed out... Hu's life is already so difficult, so let's be more comfortable if you can.he's still a baby...

The fly in the ointment is that the professor actually drank the refreshing potion himself and didn't go to rest together...

rest together...

I don't know what to think of, Cyril blushed.

cough!I kind of miss the state of nesting with the professor when I was still a fox... (Coconut: Child, are you sure you are not nesting next to the professor, not nesting together??? Cyril: It doesn't matter)

Before going to sleep, Cyril even scratched his head and thought about it, next time he becomes a fox and stays with the professor for a nap... The professor's mattress is relatively thick, and the smell of the sheets is also very pleasant to the nose... Thinking about it , I fell into a dark and sweet dreamland.

Upon waking up, Cyril was a little clueless.

The boy lay on the bed and closed his eyes, then opened them again, as if the re-examination of the five-school alliance happened yesterday.

Looking at the time, it was 11:20 noon, and there was still half an hour before dinner.Cyril rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand, and sighed in his heart that the professor was really accurate in potions.

After taking a shower, when we arrived at the auditorium, the students had already been seated one after another.

Because the final candidate was announced at noon today, everyone had no time to eat and were whispering and exchanging their own news.

"Syril, here!" Gene beckoned and called Cyril to his side.

"How is it? I didn't see you when I got up in the morning, and I didn't even have time to cheer you up!" John immediately came over and asked with concern.

"It's okay." Cyril sat down and poured himself a glass of apple juice first.

"Ravenclaw said that this morning's re-examination combined logic, poetry, and knowledge of magical creatures. It sounds quite difficult."

"Yes, yes. I heard that it is a poem with many meanings, and they have already discussed the answers corresponding to ten possible meanings..."

"31 kinds. After translating into German and French, the degree of difficulty increases exponentially." Wendy walked over and sat down next to Gene, and Gene kissed his girlfriend on the cheek.

"31 kinds???" Cyril and John automatically ignored the dog food thrown over by their seniors.

"So my dear, how do you understand? That white beard or something."

"As you know, I'm okay with normal English communication and learning, but my literary appreciation is finished. So I just said it literally, and it seems that I passed it." Cyril said hesitantly.

"I think you are very talented..." John patted his brother on the shoulder with complicated eyes.

"I think so too..." Wendy looked serious.

"No, no, no, you didn't catch the point! It's really because of the blessing of our mascot, you see, it has been fulfilled again! I just heard a German on the road say that some of them obviously entered the re-examination door, but directly Appeared in the corridor, and then directly got the notice that the re-examination was over. This is not luck, what is this!" Gene looked devout.

"..." Cyril hesitated to speak after hearing this, and finally turned his head silently with a face full of "as long as you are happy."

At this time, the teachers came to the auditorium in twos and threes. Probably because of the event, a whole row of tables was added to the teacher's seat, and 20 more people could be seated by visual estimation.

A few minutes later, the students from the other four schools followed their leading principal into the auditorium. Roland followed behind Madam Maxim, and his slender body seemed much smaller.

The big boy with dark flaxen hair's eyes lit up when he saw Cyril, and he took two extra steps and sat opposite him.

After the two greeted each other, Roland wanted to say something more, but found that the boy opposite him was not thinking here, and was staring at the teacher's seat.

Cyril was surprised to find that not only his father, but also Uncle Lucius had come.

Together with Professor Snape, they went directly to the teacher's seat through the side door, and the three of them talked and laughed (Lucius and Benny laughed, Snape was expressionless) and sat together.

One minute later, grandparents led a group of magical creature experts and judges to come in from the other side door and stepped onto the teacher's seat.

It's getting lively now...

I don't know if Dad will jump up from the chair in fright... Cyril watched the front with a blank expression.
