[HP] Sickness and Medicine

Fang decoction antidote ah. "

"Facing your face, I have no desire/desire to speak, only the urge to report." Severus folded his arms, looking like he was watching the show: "Besides, you don't deny that you are Dolores Si Murray? You drink it, and I'll believe it."

If she drank it, whether he believed it or not, the facts would be beyond doubt.She slandered secretly, picked up the potion and drank it, and was sweated all over by its terrible smell.

Contrary to the burning sensation brought by the compound decoction, as soon as the antidote entered her stomach, Dolores felt as if she had fallen into ice water, and her teeth almost trembled and her whole body trembled.The expanded volume also begins to shrink, ranging from the size of the head and limbs to the size of the pores.The only common effect of the two tit-for-tat medicines is that the changed parts will inexplicably swell up into small lumps, like the blood under the skin is constantly bubbling.

Dolores exclaimed, covered her face with her hands and lowered her head: "It's so ugly! Don't look!"

Severus shrugged and looked away.

A few minutes later, Dolores slowly lifted her sweaty face, and at the same time, she was shrunk in the large wizard robe. The clothes she wore when she transformed were obviously no longer suitable.

"Sit down." Severus frowned again, but didn't say much this time.

"Professor..." Dolores bit her lips, "I'm sorry..."

"You didn't apologize to me." Severus refused to accept the apology: "I wasn't the one you lied to."

Whether it was out of fear of being misunderstood, or if she responded to what she said under the effect of the truth liquid, Dolores had to immediately defend herself: "I, I have no malicious intentions, nor do I have any evil intentions. I just treat the sage Shi has some interests, if he appears as a minor, it will be difficult to gain the trust of the principal and Mr. LeMay."

"That's the truth, good." Severus tapped on the table between them: "Take out the shard of the Philosopher's Stone you got and Nicole Flamel's manuscript."

"Yes..." Dolores said very reluctantly, "Do you want to return them?"

"Not yet." Severus played with the stone flake between his fingers: "For the headmaster's face, I will not expose you again and let him know that I was fooled by a little witch."

He turned his gaze back to Dolores: "It's you, who dared to play tricks in front of him. You have a lot of courage. It was a mistake to sort you into Hufflepuff. Oh, you need not only courage, but also a little cleverness."

He paused, and continued to ask: "Aside from polyjuice, what else did you drink? Baruffio's Brain Elixir? No, this potion is easy to buy, but the name is too good. It is booster." Wit-Sharpening Potion. It’s as difficult as an ordinary-level wizarding exam, and you can’t make it yourself, so you still bought it at the Slug and Ziggs pharmacy?”

"Still..." Dolores' heart skipped a beat.

"Yes, it's still the same as that top-notch Polyjuice Potion you bought."

"You work with a pharmacy? So... that's your work? Did they tell you?"

"No, they don't need to tell you. I sent it in front of me, and you received it in the back. I used the owl raised in the pharmacy. It happened right under my nose. It's hard for me not to notice."

Dolores puffed her cheeks angrily: "That's how you guessed my plan??"

"That's not the only thing you showed." Severus lazily said, "The headmaster showed me your letter. He didn't teach you and doesn't know your handwriting, but I do."

Dolores suddenly realized in secret.When Dumbledore mentioned before that Severus affirmed her knowledge of the Philosopher's Stone, she felt faintly uneasy, and it turned out that this was the crux of the problem.

"So, what are you going to do with it?" She asked discouragedly, "If you don't return them to their original owners, will you confiscate them yourself?"

"There is one last question." Severus stopped playing with the stone flakes: "Who is the person behind you?"

"The people behind what?"

"The person who told you that the Philosopher's Stone will be destroyed, and the person who popularized relevant knowledge to you."

"There is no such person. The Philosopher's Stone is me... Harry Potter was looking for information on Nicole Flamel, and I was reminded by him; what I wrote in the letter was what I read myself."

"What did you read?"

"Just... a lot of information."

"Where is it?"

"Like... the Ministry of Magic. My father works there."

Dolores didn't lie, but the two sentences before and after had no real causal connection and would only mislead Severus.

Sure enough, Severus stopped asking, so she asked her puzzled question: "Professor, are you also interested in the Philosopher's Stone?"

"How can I be indifferent to something that even the Dark Lord can attract, and something that you dare to seek boldly?" He threw the stone piece in his hand onto the notebook: "Just this piece of stone, if you take it out, it is a priceless treasure .”

"Then, professor, you can treat them as stolen goods." Dolores gritted her teeth and decided, and then moved back to express her attitude: "You can confiscate them."

"Suddenly so generous?" Severus asked suspiciously.

"I just feel that if you and I study the Philosopher's Stone, I may not succeed, but you will." Dolores replied softly: "These can only be of maximum value if you keep them in your hands. "

But Severus did not accept it readily. Instead, he was silent for a moment before announcing his decision: "Since you have passed the principal's test, I will not deprive you of what you have gained. I will give you the fragments now, and lend me the manuscript to study for a while. Return it after school starts."

"Listen to you!" Dolores accepted without hesitation.This is a happy result for both parties, how could she still be dissatisfied?

"Okay." Severus got up with the manuscript: "You can go."

Dolores sat without moving, and only looked up at him slightly: "You insist on making me drink the antidote of compound soup. Can I leave through the gate of the castle?"

"You use the fireplace in my office and go straight home." Severus waved his wand: "Any questions?"

"Professor, do you have any questions?" Dolores returned the questions as they were.

Of course, the mood of the two questions is different.Severus was just talking casually, but Dolores had hidden expectations.

She knew that the medicinal properties of the truth liquid she drank before still remained, and if Severus expressed doubts about her abnormal behavior, she might not be able to make up excuses to get away with it, and she might not be able to insist on not letting go.In the end, she can show him her secrets, whether they are secret love or rebirth.She can deceive anyone in the world, even herself, except him.

However, Severus easily let go of this opportunity and just waved his hand, obviously pushing people away.She sighed, because the flowers in her heart still lacked sunshine and rain; she also breathed a sigh of relief, because there was no need to fight for reason and emotion.

Gathering away the sage stone fragments and carrying her baggy clothes, she walked into the fireplace, threw a handful of powder, and was carried away by the green flames.From the beginning to the end, Severus didn't look up again, just like they had met for the first time in their previous life, maybe occasionally showing incidental kindness, but more of it was indifferent calm.

Love Potion ([-])

After another dose of Polyjuice Potion, she rushed to check out the Leaky Cauldron, and the series of events triggered by the Sage Stone was officially brought to an end by Dolores.It was only now that it was mid-August, and she did a few small experiments with that fragment, and it was time to take the train back to school.

With Harry Potter and his friends around, Hogwarts Castle is buzzing at the start of school, and the effect is comparable to Peeves' non-stop pranks.Another wave of commotion originated from the newly recruited black defense professor this year, Gilderoy Lockhart.It was as if he was secretly competing with Harry Potter for popularity. He was radiant no matter when and where, attracting the obsessive eyes of a large number of girls.

However, when Dolores looked at him, she secretly felt a trace of pity for his head, which only had one year of sobriety left.Of course, Lockhart after amnesia may not be unfortunate. He will live a simpler and happier life than most people in the world with the small things like signing autographs as the main purpose of life.

Severus kept his word and returned Nico Flamel's research notes to her with a detention.After Potions class, she didn't know if she was too sensitive or what, but she found that he didn't ask her any more questions.It's a pity that she couldn't ask him for proof, nor could she ask why. She could only become more reticent in and out of class, and almost lost all sense of existence in his eyes.

The rain in October this year was a bit too abundant, bringing the coldness of winter omen into the castle, and Nicole, who was almost headless, was planning his [-]th birthday party, and there were so many scary ghosts wandering in the cellar. The warm and cozy Hufflepuff students don't want to go out.

Dolores was delighted with this.She vaguely remembered that Hogwarts was still not very peaceful this school year, and was even facing the crisis of closing for a while.Her classmates generally don't cause much trouble, and the possibility of getting into danger is relatively small.

Halloween came again as scheduled, and the auditorium was decorated with bats and jack-o-lanterns as usual.Dolores and Carla followed the students from the same school to the dinner, discussing in whispers whether there would be any surprises or shocks this year.However, the banquet ended safely, which is somewhat regrettable.

On Halloween night, Hogwarts actually has projects where colleges visit each other and give candy to each other, which is a variant of Muggle culture.Since it was hindered by a troll last year, this year the organization was more grand, and it became an alternative to not participate.The crowd was divided into two groups in the foyer, one group went to the cellar, where Slytherin and Hufflepuff were in charge respectively, and the other group went up to the eighth floor, with Gryffindor and Ravenk
