"Professor, I'm here to get the potion for this week." Standing at the door of the office, Alice couldn't help shivering. The cellar was really dark and damp for thousands of years.

If the disadvantage of Slytherin is that it is too humid underground, then the disadvantage of Ravenclaw is that it is too dry in the tower.

In this way, Gryffindor and Hufflepuff's dormitories are the best.Neither high nor low, with plenty of sunlight and no need to climb stairs.Paige often brags that Hufflepuff is the closest house to the kitchen.

For this, Alice is not envious. It is the closest to the kitchen, and the nightly supper is delicious, but the straight-up weight is not good.

But the worst should be Slytherin.Alice always felt that she would get rheumatism if she lived for a long time, just like her former neighbor Mrs. Eggers.

"Come in." The professor's voice was as steady as ever.Could it be that after staying in this place for a long time, even the personality will be assimilated?Alice was puzzled.

In my impression, when we met for the first time, the professor was just a little indifferent, and he didn't care about words as much as he does now.

One thing to say, the fireplace in the office is very powerful.The warm flame dispelled the chill all over her body, and Alice squinted her eyes happily.The question I just thought about was thrown out of the sky.

"The potions are in the cabinet, take them yourself." Professor Snape was grading papers at his desk, and he didn't lift his head when he heard the voice.

Alice has long been used to it, and as usual, she came to the potion cabinet.

I still remember the first time she came to get the potion, the bottle was placed on the top shelf.For such precious objects, Alice would never dare to use the Levitation Charm.

There is no way, she can only use the most simple method.I don't know if it's because the way she moved the stool was too stupid, but after all the potions were placed at the bottom.

The slender glass bottle, the purple liquid inside is still spitting weird bubbles, no matter how many times you look at it, it looks like the poison in a fairy tale.

Maybe after watching it for a long time, Alice felt that it was not so scary.

Glancing at the clock on the wall, remembering the time, she downed it in one gulp.

Past experience told her that no matter what kind of medicine it is, she must drink it as quickly as possible.

The fact is also true, no matter how fast she drank, Alice still felt nauseated.Reasonably speaking, it is not easy for potions to be made like this. She reasonably suspected that Professor Snape was avenging himself.

A few months ago, Alice "slept" directly in the public, and woke up again in the medical wing.

"You really don't care about your body. I warned you last semester not to ride a broom again!" Madam Pomfrey was heartbroken, completely treating Alice as those mischievous ghosts who didn't care about her body.

Alice felt that she had to explain: "Madame Pomfrey, this time it's not because of fear of heights. I'm suddenly very lethargic today..."

She described her day's experience in detail, and of course the use of pepper water in History of Magic class was subtly mentioned.

"This is indeed a bit strange." Madam Pomfrey looked at Alice suspiciously.No way, students always have weird reasons, some are real, but most of them are fabricated.

With a wave of her wand, Madam Pomfrey cast a scouting charm.

Alice was shocked when she saw Madam Pomfrey's gradually serious expression.No, no, I'm only 12 years old, so I won't suffer from any terminal illness, right?

"Albus, please come to the medical wing." Madam Pomfrey cast another summons spell.

Albus?Is that Albus?Is it serious enough to call the principal?

Madam Pomfrey looked back and saw the panic on Alice's face, she couldn't help laughing: "Don't worry, it shouldn't be a bad thing."

"Pochi, why are you looking for me so urgently?" The principal came quickly.

"You should check this child again." Madam Pomfrey walked to Dumbledore's side, "I'm not sure, just in case..."

The voice was too low, and the following words could not be heard clearly, only Principal Dumbledore nodded frequently.

"Don't worry, it's just a little magic." Noticing Alice's worried look, Dumbledore comforted softly, and then waved his wand.

The flashing green light is the same investigative spell as Madam Pomfrey.

"It seems that your guess, Porch, is correct." Looking at the detection results, Dumbledore nodded.

As if finally realizing the need to explain to Alice, Madam Pomfrey said, "Honey, did you have a bad life before?"

"Although I'm a little poor, I'm living a pretty good life." Alice replied honestly, at least she had enough food and warm clothes.

"It should be because the nutrients that were missing before have been supplemented." Madam Pomfrey's eyes softened a lot: "The test results show that your magic power has only redeveloped."

"It may be that the body cannot digest the sudden increase in magic for a while, so more sleep is needed."

"It seems that we will have a powerful witch in the future, doesn't it?" Dumbledore winked at Alice.

The increase in magic power is of course very happy, but Alice's focus is not on this: "Excuse me, when will this side effect of drowsiness disappear?"

"This, no one can say for sure." Madam Pomfrey frowned in embarrassment, "Magic redevelopment is very important, I personally suggest that you take a break."

Alice lowered her head and said nothing.Unlike others, she will take two grade exams this semester.Time is tight, and taking a break is too much of a luxury.

"I guess that's not the only way."

Alice looked up in surprise, and Dumbledore was a little proud; "After all, we have a master of potions."

……

"Any questions?"

Alice was startled, and suddenly came back to her senses, only to find that Professor Snape was standing in front of her.Was he caught distracted?Alice blushed with shame.

"No, no." She shook her head hastily, and glanced at the clock by the way, 15 minutes had passed.After all, it is a rare redevelopment of magic power. Every time after drinking the medicine, Alice has to be left to observe for 15 minutes to prevent accidents.

Professor Snape returned to his seat without saying anything.Alice breathed a sigh of relief, Professor Snape's gaze was too oppressive.She was so close just now that she almost forgot to breathe.

Instead of leaving as usual, Alice consciously walked to the workbench aside.

After Christmas, every weekend, she would take turns to help Professor Snape and Professor Sprout. She said it was a helper, but in fact it was to increase the chance of doing it.Therefore, she is very grateful to the principal and professors for their help, and cherishes every opportunity very much.

Today is to prepare cold medicine for the medical wing, she looked at the list on the table and nodded.Cold medicine has always been the fastest-consuming potion. Alice has brewed it countless times, so she is very familiar with it.

Alice was concentrating on boiling the potion, and Professor Snape was grading the papers. For a while, the office was quiet.It might be embarrassing for others, but she enjoyed it immensely.After all, you can focus only when you are quiet, and you can be efficient only when you focus.

"Professor, it's over. Shall I go first?" The potion itself was simple, and Alice was a skilled worker, so the potion was ready in one morning.

"Regarding the idea of ​​adding moonstone to increase stability you mentioned in your paper, I hope to receive a detailed feasibility report next week."

"Thank you, Professor! I'll give it to you next weekend." Alice's eyes lit up.This not only means that her idea is very feasible, but also means that her understanding of potions has made great progress.

Humming, Alice skipped out of the cellar, ignoring the surprised gazes of the Slytherin students.

In addition to moonstone, other materials must be added to neutralize the medicinal properties.So is it fairy wings or a scarab?Fairy wings are too rare, let's try with scarabs first.

"Alice?"

Alice turned her head and saw Bill, whom she hadn't seen for a while.

"I said which Ravenclaw would hang around the cellar door, but I didn't expect it to be you." The corners of Bill's mouth rose, as if he was very happy.

There was no light in the cellar, but the sun was shining brightly at the door.Bill's red hair seemed to Alice to shine even more.

"You know, I come here every week to help."

Someone has already looked here, and she took Bill to the nearby woods, "Professor Snape agrees with me, I think my understanding of potions..."

Bill had been listening to Alice quietly, and only after she finished sharing her excitement did he speak: "Alice, I'm glad you're interested in potions."

"You are happy now, aren't you?" As the eldest brother of the Weasley family, Bill's smile is always so reassuring, "Do you remember what I told you at the beginning? Interest is always the best teacher."

"However, are you okay? I heard about you." Bill put away his smile and looked serious.

"What?" Alice was stunned for a moment before she realized, "Oh, it's all right. It's just that the magic power is developing again. After drinking Professor Snape's medicine, I won't be drowsy anymore."

She raised her arms specifically to show that she was very healthy and strong.

"In this way, I am relieved." Bill then took out an iron can, "I asked my mother about the development of magic power. This is the tea bag she made, which is said to help promote the development of magic power."

"Mrs. Weasley?" Alice was flattered, "How dare you?"

"Accept it." Bill was firm. "The travel book you gave me was seen by Charlie, and he read you for a vacation. If you feel embarrassed, you might as well give another travel book."

There was no reason to refuse, Alice took the tea bag respectfully with both hands, "Don't worry, I will definitely find some more travel notes."

It was almost lunch time, Alice asked Peggy and Carrie to have a picnic on the grass in front of the castle, and could only say goodbye to Bill.

After walking some distance, Alice suddenly remembered that she didn't seem to ask Bill, what is he doing in Slytherin as a Gryffindor?

Thinking of this, Alice turned her head reflexively.There seemed to be a red-haired figure standing quietly in the woods.

It was too far away to see clearly, so Alice shook her head and stopped thinking about it.
