[HP] I was the scroll king at Hogwarts

Just for sightseeing?The principal and professors expected this, but the students were definitely not satisfied.

For this reason, Jarvis, as the president, was so worried that his hair fell out.He also wanted to enter the Black Lake to explore, but the professors did not allow it, and as the person in charge, he really had to ensure the safety of the students.

Not risky?That would be inconsistent with the initial publicity, and would certainly tarnish the reputation of the 'Gryffindor Castle Exploration and Adventure Society'.This is absolutely impossible in Jarvis's view.

That being the case, the only way is to divert the attention of the students.Make them feel that the voyage is worth the money even without further exploration.

Having been busy working for the Black Lake Explorer for so long and staying on board all day, it is not normal to have a cold and fever after blowing the wind.Can I go to school if I'm sick?No matter what, I have to go to the medical wing to lie down all morning.

The two-day holiday has become two and a half days, and this wave is not a loss at all.

"Is this the way Jarvis came up with?" Alice couldn't believe it, the idea was simply whimsical.

Not to mention that a large group of people suddenly get sick, even a fool can find the problem.Even if Madam Pomfrey turned a blind eye, a bottle of cold potion would guarantee that everyone would be alive and kicking.Skip class?impossible.

"This method is okay for a while, but when it is actually implemented, everyone finds that there is no way to skip class, and they will still vent their anger on him."

"No, no." Carrie quickly retorted, "You say you are second and no one says first, but I still recognize Gryffindor's professionalism when it comes to skipping classes."

Alice blinked, and couldn't help being curious: "Are there any other factors that I haven't considered?"

"The point is the potion you mentioned just now." Although Carrie was in a corner where no one was on the deck, she still looked around cautiously, "If you are sick, you can only use potions to recover quickly, right?"

"correct."

"But the potions in the medical wing have always been supplied by Snape."

Alice suddenly realized: "You mean that the potion reserve in the medical wing cannot supply all the students?"

"Our Alice is just smart. I only got it from Jarvis."

"But the medical wing itself has potions in stock. If Professor Snape brews some temporarily, at least a small number of students will be cured. Will these students have any objections by then?"

Carrie shook her head, and the old god replied: "No need for Jarvis, I know this. The minority obeys the majority. In this dilemma, the dissatisfaction of the minority and the approval of the majority is the best solution." way."

As expected of the president of the adventure agency and the love expert, the two still have two brushes in social public relations.

"You were talking about this just now?" Alice realized that something was wrong. "Jarvis clearly means that he is not satisfied with the status quo and wants to explore further."

As soon as Jarvis said, "It's rare to go on an expedition to the Black Lake, are you satisfied with sightseeing on the deck?" As soon as Jarvis said it, the two of them guessed his plan.It's just that Alice felt nonsense, but Carrie was eager to try.

Therefore, Carrie and Jarvis left Alice and whispered for a long time, and she could only stare blankly until Jarvis left contentedly.

"This is just part of the conversation we just had." Carrie looked at her friend's angry look amusedly. They didn't plan to hide anything from Alice. On the contrary, the implementation of the plan needed her help very much.

"Jarvis will announce shortly that the tour will be extended for one more night on board and there will be a party to celebrate the maiden voyage of the Black Lake Explorer."

Dude, that Slytherin's dress came in handy.This was Alice's first thought.

"Okay, why stay another night?" This was her second thought.

"Because most magical creatures are more active at night, especially the magical creatures living in the Black Lake." Carrie said succinctly, "Jarvis plans to take a few key members to explore the Black Lake at night, and I have persuaded him to take me with him. "

So parties are both an excuse to stay and a distraction.Who would have thought that on the last night at the Black Lake, when most of the Hogwarts students were having a party, some students would go on an adventure to the Black Lake?

"Are you crazy?"

How dangerous is the Black Lake?Sea monsters, sea monsters, and sea snakes, the small lake contains most of the existing terrifying creatures.This is not an adventure, it is simply death.

"Are you worried that the squid won't be full, and offered to give it an extra meal?" Alice was furious, wishing she could open Carrie's head and see what was inside.

"Of course we're not courting death." Carrie was taken aback by Alice's sudden increase in volume, and quickly cast a silencing spell around her.

"Do you remember what the Headmaster said? 'Greetings to the creatures of the Black Lake'."

"But this does not guarantee that this expedition will be safe and secure!"

Carrie took a deep breath: "Alice, you said you would go to the Albanian forest after graduation, right?"

"Yes. There are the most known types of plants and organisms there, which will be very helpful for my future research." Alice felt puzzled, "This has nothing to do with our current topic."

"The Albanian forest is dangerous, isn't it? It's hundreds of times more dangerous than the Black Lake, right? I'm worried about you, so if you don't go, will you compromise?"

Alice was silent, and those so-called dangers seemed very small in the face of unknown knowledge and research results.

"As a Gryffindor, I can understand why Jarvis is so obsessed with exploration." Alice finally sighed, "But as far as I know, you are not such an adventurous person."

"You know, I grew up listening to fairy tales. It's boring without a relationship after breaking up, so I want to see what a mermaid looks like."

Carrie replied innocently, she was not an adventurous person but a casual person.This is true for falling in love, and it is also true for wanting to see mermaids.

……

"Welcome everyone to this party. Please drink well, play well, and enjoy this wonderful night." Jarvis stood at the front holding pumpkin juice, finished his necessary speech as an event promoter, and quickly disappeared.

Alice knew that Jarvis was joining Carrie and the others to go into the water.She took a deep breath, held the milk, and walked towards the dark-faced Professor Snape in the corner.

As a professor, if he was free, he might notice the disappearance of Jarvis, the members of the expedition.And Snape's attention to Gryffindor is obvious to all, which makes things more likely to be revealed.

Alice's task was to distract Snape from counting the students.

"Professor Snape, aren't you going to the party?" Alice confronted Professor Snape's cold eyes, and said bravely.

In fact, she had her own plan for agreeing to Jarvis.

Before leaving, Alice specially gave Carrie a conch, which she remodeled from the Christmas present Carrie had given her before.The conch, which originally only had a recording function, was transformed by Alice imitating a double-sided mirror.

Although it is only a semi-finished product and cannot convey human voice, it can convey messages.

Alice casually touched another conch in her pocket.

She told Carrie to blow the conch if she was in danger, and she didn't need to make a sound. As long as one of the two conch sensed the blowing motion, they would tremble and heat up at the same time.In this case, the closer the two conch shells are to each other, the more obvious the shivering and heat will be.

As long as she follows the professor closely and Carrie is in danger, she can also guide the professor to rescue immediately.

"Miss Hall is too busy? If you don't want to go to the party, I don't mind giving you a few more papers."

Help!It's really hard to find something to say.Alice's brain was running fast, and she took the lead in ruling out the idea of ​​asking the professor's chemistry learning progress. She has been busy with her studies recently, and she didn't really want to write a few more papers.

"Professor is about thestrals!" Alice had an idea, "I think the connection between thestrals and death is far deeper than we imagined."

Thestrals have long been considered a symbol of bad luck in wizarding society.Because of the description in the book, she didn't like this creature very much at first, but after actually seeing it, she found that its inherent mystery was enough to make scholars let go of their prejudices.

It has the head of a dragon, the body of a horse, and a pair of bat-like wings born on the bulge between the shoulder bones.The eyes are silvery-white, without pupils, so Alice never dared to look at the Thestrals.

The body of the huge black horse, the bones are clearly visible, and the black fur is tightly attached to the bones, which is in line with people's imagination of dark magical creatures.

"Miss Hall has seen death at a young age?" Regardless of the content, Professor Snape replied that he was interested in this topic.

"My mother died of dystocia, and I should have witnessed the death at that time." Alice explained, "When my grandmother died in the hospital, I was participating in a two-week research activity at the school, so I didn't really see death."

The grandmother's death was first discovered by Mrs. Rice next door. She was concerned that Alice was still a child, so she decided to arrange a series of funeral affairs.

Snape didn't seem to expect Alice to have such an experience, his expression moved slightly, he remained silent and stopped mocking.

"Many people don't realize that they have seen death." When she found out that she could see thestrals, Alice remembered her experience as a baby.

When her mother died of dystocia, she was still a baby. At that time, she didn't even have the concept of death, but it was strangely defined as witnessing death.

"But in this unconscious state, they can still see the Thestrals." She organized the language, "Obviously, Thestrals don't have any special abilities, at least it is impossible for them to recall all the things we have experienced."

"Then it means that death or witnessing death has brought us some changes." Alice's eyes lit up, "It's not even a change in consciousness, but a purely physiological change."

After saying this, the surrounding was instantly quiet.Alice calmed down her excitement, waiting for the professor's opinion.

After a while, Snape spoke slowly, his deep voice echoing in the empty corner.

"Although it will not be easy, it does provide us with an opportunity to understand death. Only by understanding death can we overcome death."

"Alice, I think you can give me some help. Regarding the potion I mentioned earlier, I am developing it." This was the first time he called Alice by her name in four years.

The author has something to say:

It’s okay to recommend novels, after all, I don’t really read the latest novels.Search for "sweet text" and "sand carving text" recommendations, and the list that has not changed for thousands of years is the novels I review from time to time.

And what I often read is different from what I want to write and what I am good at writing.

After all, the literary shortage has no food, and the brain is too big, so I want to write novels by myself
