Chapter 47 The Strange Mr. Lawrence

"Master, we have to do something more. She still thinks that Dumbledore is a great wizard." Lawrence squatted in front of a single sofa with a pious expression.

"She will be my most loyal servant, little Barty." A hoarse voice sounded.On the expensive Italian fabric sofa in the study of the Ferrara estate, curled up with a baby-like thing, it was wrapped in a brown wool blanket, looking very weak, "get me some more of her blood, this picture The body is too fragile, and I need the blood of the next Heir of Slytherin to restore my magic."

"As you order, my master." "Mr. Lawrence" humbly exited the study.

Catherine's recent study progress has fallen into a bottleneck period. It's not that there is something wrong with her comprehension, but something wrong with her body.During these days, she often felt dizzy and had trouble concentrating when reading.Most annoyingly, spells are also much less accurate and aggressive due to distraction.After Mr. Lawrence knew about it, he specially prepared a potion and told her to take it on time for a month.

This potion can instantly restore vitality to a listless person, but the taste and color are extremely strange, like a troll's snot.Catherine drank it for five days, and then quietly poured the rest of the medicine into the flower pot.Anyway, Mr. Lawrence was always too busy to keep an eye on her.Strangely enough, on the night of the first day of drug withdrawal, Catherine missed that weird smell very much. After missing it, she was left with a heart-scratching longing. The smell of dropped potions.

This is so weird.

So on the second day after stopping the medicine, Catherine didn't take the medicine and pour it out, nor did she drink it, but quietly hid it in the cabinet.At night, the feeling of scratching her heart and liver began again, and Catherine tugged at her hair and rolled back and forth on the bed. Finally, she couldn't help but rushed to the cabinet, ready to take out the medicine for the day and drink it.But then she felt hot in her chest, and the amulet jade that Draco gave her was emitting heat one after another like a fire, making her body ache.Draco once said that this stone would only heat up when Catherine encountered danger. For example, when she was learning black magic a while ago, it was often as hot as a freshly boiled egg.But Catherine didn't care much, maybe the Eastern wizards also regarded black magic as a heinous thing.However, right now, she neither engages in black magic nor encounters any danger. She just intends to drink the bottle of weird potion, but this stone makes her skin turn red.

Is there something wrong with this bottle of medicine?

The answer is obvious.

This bottle of medicine is a big problem! Catherine's potion performance has always been her second place in Hogwarts, and no one dares to be the first (in fact, only she thinks so), but this strange potion has never been used in any Appeared in books.The hot jade made Catherine regain some sanity. She knocked over the medicine bottle, and then lay down by the window and tried to breathe the fresh air, trying to use the cold spring night in England to dispel the restless longing in her heart.An hour later, the tormenting burning feeling finally disappeared, and Catherine slumped by the window, unable to even crawl back into bed.

Early the next morning, Catherine woke up by the window. The white gauze curtains were billowing in the morning breeze. spots of uniform size.Catherine rubbed her drowsy head and got up from the ground, picked up the medicine bottle, and there was still a little sticky medicine in it.

"Damn Lawrence." Catherine cursed, she put the bottle away, and planned to take it to the laboratory in the basement for a drug separation experiment, and carefully study what was inside.

The experiment process was not smooth. There were too many ingredients in this potion that Catherine had never touched, such as "Alice" and "Spike Venom". These things only appeared in Professor Snape's office. They were all locked in a small tin cabinet.If a student dared to open it privately, Professor Snape would definitely make the student's Potions class miserable for a whole year.But fortunately, Catherine could be regarded as a student "Snape's favor", so she had seen what was in the small tin cabinet, but only seen it.At Hogwarts, the only professor Catherine dared not provoke was Snape, so she never dared to do those things without the permission of her headmaster.But now she is a bit regretful, regretting why she didn't be more courageous at the beginning, and quietly let out some materials from the bottles and jars in the cabinet, then she would not be so embarrassing now.But in any case, it is not too difficult to separate the medicine, nothing more than using a crucible

Distill in a flame or cool in a low temperature with various oddly shaped bottles, and then add a few drops of reagents, and some of them need to stand for a while to get the separation result.Catherine took the "Encyclopedia of Potion Theory" and compared it with the separated potion, and finally she found something called goblin nitrate in it.In theory, this is a powerful potion of euphoria, but it can kill wizards if used in excess, and can cause nerve and brain damage if taken for a long time.In the middle of the eleventh century, some rulers made their subordinates take this potion regularly in order to "legendium" them.

What on earth does this Lawrence want to do?Catherine hurried to Michaelera with the results of the experiment, intending to join Lawrence heavily. Originally, she planned to solve the matter by herself, but due to the disparity in strength between herself and Lawrence, she was not the right one no matter whether she used an open gun or a hidden arrow. Opponent, so I can only move reinforcements.

But the rescuers don't give face.

"We are old friends with Mr. Lawrence, he would not do this kind of thing, I think there is something wrong with your experiment." Michaelera was wearing a black silk robe, standing at the door of the study with his left arm folded, his eyes slightly sunken , There is a faint black and blue under the eyes.

joke!How could her experiment go wrong!

"Impossible, my experiments never go wrong, there must be something wrong with Lawrence." Catherine yelled irritably.Michaela looked back at the study with some anxiety, stroking her left arm with her right hand back and forth, not even noticing that the ring had pulled the silk off the sleeve.

"That's enough, shut up, Catherine. There must be something wrong with your experiment. If you don't want to drink the medicine, then don't drink it, but don't say something inexplicable." Michaelia scolded.

"I said that my experiments never go wrong!" Catherine has now shifted the focus from "Lawrence has a problem" to "someone actually questioned my potion ability, even if this person is my mother".

"I don't want to discuss this boring topic with you anymore." Michaela said impatiently, and then she quickly turned around and entered the study again.

The rescuers failed to move, so Catherine decided to stand still for the time being, pretend nothing happened, and attend classes at home as usual on weekdays. After all, Mr. Lawrence is really not an easy person to deal with.She was going to secretly investigate Mr. Lawrence's details first. Ferrara has rarely interacted with outsiders, and even fewer old friends. Mr. Lawrence graduated from Durmstrang, so he must be a pure-blood wizard. It probably won't take much effort to find out. .However, after a few days, Catherine found nothing. No matter in Germany or Britain, there is no pure-blood family with this surname.Things got weirder.

"Crouch, how can you give Catherine goblin nitrate?" Michaelera came to question "Lawrence" after confirming that Catherine was asleep.

"What? Do you regret it? Mrs. Ferrara. Are you going to betray your master?" Barty Crouch Jr. narrowed his eyes.

Michaela said with a cold face, "You have shown too many lies. Catherine has already found out that the potion you gave her contains nitrocarbons, and she is investigating you recently. Soon, she will find out that there is no Lawrence at all." .She will know that you are the Barty Crouch Jr. who graduated from Slytherin and should have died 10 years ago."

"She will know sooner or later." Little Barty showed a sneering smile.

"But the master said it's not yet time." Michaela said, and then opened the door of the study, "I've already told him about it, and now, he wants to see you."

A shriveled, baby-like mass was cluttered in the sofa blanket, and it was hard to believe that it was Voldemort, the one who terrified British wizards more than ten years ago.The doors and windows in the room were closed tightly, and the fire was burning extremely vigorously, making it so stuffy that people could not breathe.

"Don't do unnecessary things, little Barty, it's not time yet." Voldemort said in a very hoarse voice, huddled under the blanket, "I want her absolute loyalty, not through brain control."

"But master, she has been in contact with Dumbledore for too long, I am worried..."

"I will find a way to make her submit, she was born to be my most loyal servant." Voldemort showed an ugly smile, "Catherine Slytherin, my heir, my servant."

The matter of investigating Lawrence was finally settled. Catherine struggled for more than a month but did not find any clues. She vaguely felt that both her mother and her father who had run away from home knew something, but neither of them said anything.Cecilia was commissioned to participate in the writing of this year's wizarding level exam in Germany two months ago. In order to prevent the leak of the exam questions, the wizards who wrote the questions were all under closed management, so Catherine couldn't write to her sister about the recent events.But within a few days, the "Lawrence incident" seemed irrelevant, because something even more shocking in Britain happened.

The author has something to say: Little... little cuties, take it easy, I, I, I... I am so nervous to see so many nutrient solutions.
