[HP] I was the scroll king at Hogwarts

Because of the extra money, Alice can be considered to be well-funded, not to mention Andrew, who can be called a rich man.

But Alice has a fixed savings plan every month, and Andrew has not yet graduated, so he is too embarrassed to ask his family for unlimited money.

What's more, online research, especially potion research, is really too expensive.It took a lot of time and money to try and find possible herbs in the early stage.

Now, the potion has grown from scratch and has undergone several improvements, and the research team has also changed from rich to poor.

Fortunately, the girl who was scared was Alice's fan girl, so she didn't need to make up for it. Well, it didn't make the research team, which was not well-off, worse.

"This is considered a failure." Andrew looked at the fish mouse that was placed in the fish tank in the middle, unable to swim but only floating, showing pity.

"How can it be called a failure?" Alice interrupted, "Since it can survive in the water, it is a great success."

"It's true, but isn't it too much?"

"This is even more wrong." Alice pointed to another fish tank on the side, "Isn't this a ratfish with a rat head and a tail?"

Bill couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he thought about it and said, "Alice, do you think this mousefish is about to drown?"

As soon as the words fell, the eyes of the remaining two people turned to the mousefish in the fish tank in unison.

To save money, the tank was deformed out of a biscuit tin and the mice were well fed, resulting in a tank that was a little overcrowded for the rich ratfish.

Originally, Alice thought about changing the mousefish to a bigger tank, but now she doesn't think so.Although it is small, it is a good fish tank that can save lives.

Perhaps the effect of the potion had failed, the ratfish stood upright in the water with its tail, its nose exposed, panting heavily.

"Oh my god!" Alice didn't dare to delay, and with a floating spell, the ratfish was fished out of the tank.

"It's so pitiful." Andrew shook his head, "Where did you find the little white mouse?"

"I bought it from the Muggle world." Alice carefully wiped the water off the mousefish's body with the wizard's robe. "There is no way to do this. I never thought that wizards would not use white mice in their research."

Not only do not use mice, even other animals are not used, and the research is directly conducted on humans.

She finally understood why there are so few wizards. The low population base is one thing, and more importantly, everyone is too adventurous!

"I haven't had a vacation recently, how did you go back?" Bill discovered the problem, "You didn't sneak back, did you?"

"Of course not." Alice shook her head, "I asked Professor Snape to buy it."

"Snape?" Bill and Andrew looked at each other and asked in unison, "How could he agree?"

"This is originally for research, and it's not normal for a mentor to provide help." Alice rolled her eyes, "You guys are really making a fuss."

Is this the student syndrome?She really couldn't understand why everyone else was so afraid of the professor.

Professor Snape did not mention that although Professor McGonagall was strict, he cared about his students.Dean Flitwick is very patient in teaching and treats every student equally.

If being afraid of the above-mentioned few can barely be justified, then there are very few people who are afraid of Professor Sprout, and she can't understand it at all.

"The professors at Hogwarts are all leaders in the wizarding world in their respective fields. You don't know how to cherish such good resources!" Alice was heartbroken, "I can't wait to stay in Hogwarts for the rest of my life."

"Having said that." Andrew rubbed his temples, "But you asked Professor Snape to go shopping in the Muggle world? It's outrageous."

"It's not on purpose, it's on the way."

"what?"

"It's on the way." Alice emphasized that she is not afraid of the professor, but it doesn't mean she is a fool. "The professor's home is just one block away from the Muggles, so it's just on the way."

In fact, Alice just mentioned one thing. Unexpectedly, Professor Snape was very interested in the experimental mice, and asked in detail the reasons for the Muggle experiment with the mice, the effect and the precautions for selection.

The next time she went to the office, as soon as she opened the door, ten healthy and lively mice were stuffed into her arms.

God knows how much perseverance it took her not to scream.

"By the way, the professor has signed a contract with the supplier, and they will provide thirty mice every month."

"That's really great!" Andrew breathed a sigh of relief, so that the financial pressure would not be too great.

He knew that Bill's family conditions were not good, and Alice was an orphan, so he planned to ask the family for money with the cheek.

"What's so good." Alice said blankly, "Why don't you wonder why I am so precious to these little mice?"

"why?"

"Because only these ten mice are free."

"..." Andrew was at a loss for words, he wanted to swear but because Snape was his dean, he could only choose to remain silent.

"Ahem." Bill broke the embarrassing atmosphere intimately, "Then about this ratfish, what should we do now?"

After being reminded like this, Alice remembered the most important thing now.

It seemed that the mousefish would not live long, so she seized the time, picked up the mousefish and was about to leave the tower.

"Alice, who is this?" Bill couldn't help stopping when he saw Alice leaving silently.

"Go ask the professors for advice." Alice disappeared at the stairs without looking back.

Only Bill was left standing there with his head bowed, looking lonely.

Andrew sighed, stepped forward and patted Bill on the shoulder: "Brother, I didn't say it, you should have seen that Alice was angry. Why is this so?"

He had already felt it, and Bill became more and more silent, obviously hiding something in his heart.It's a pity that no matter how other people ask, his answer is always "nothing".

In this case, it is only natural for Alice to be angry.

"Whether it's a friend or a couple, the most important thing is to be honest." Andrew said earnestly, "If you don't make it clear, the conflict will only get bigger and bigger."

"I know." Bill replied softly, with the inextricable melancholy still lingering in his brows and eyes.

……

The first stop is Alice's favorite greenhouse.

As she expected, Professor Sprout was patiently tending to the plants.

"Honey, did the experiment encounter difficulties?" Professor Sprout had guessed Alice's intentions as soon as she entered the door.

"Yes, please excuse me."

"Isn't the professor just to help the students?" Professor Sprout wiped his hands with his apron, and carefully took the mousefish that Alice held in his palm.

Seeing Professor Sprout lost in thought on the mousefish, Alice quickly explained: "It was very successful just after drinking the potion, and I don't know why, it seems that it can't breathe in the water all of a sudden."

If even the fish tails disappeared together, it could simply be considered that the potion had lost its effect, but it was just that he couldn't breathe in the water, so people didn't know what to do.

"This..." Professor Sprout apologized, "I can only confirm that there is nothing wrong with the herbs used, at least the medicinal properties are not conflicting."

The study of herbal medicine is extensive and profound, and the research and development of this potion is based on the gills grass, so Alice was the first to ask Sprout for advice.

"It may be that the internal body structure has changed back." Professor Sprout gave his own suggestion, "I'm not sure, you can ask Professor McGonagall, she should be able to see the internal deformation of this creature."

After getting the advice, Alice hurried to Professor McGonagall's office after thanking Professor Sprout.

There was still a while before the meal, and she found Professor McGonagall in the office smoothly.

"There is indeed a problem with the deformation." Professor McGonagall concluded after casting a few spells on the mousefish. "The external deformation is obvious, but the internal organs and structural changes are often more difficult to control."

"That……"

"Perhaps you can increase the dosage of the corresponding potion appropriately." Professor McGonagall suggested, "I suggest you consult Professor Snape, after all potion is his field of expertise."

Alice hurried to the Potions Office again.It's almost time for dinner, and I don't know if the professor is there.

It would be best if he was there, but if he wasn't there, it would be the same to write a note and stuff it through the crack of the door.

Coincidentally, Alice met the professor who was about to go out at the door of the office.

"How about professor, you go to eat first?" She estimated the time carefully and proposed, after all, this should not be a simple question, if the professor is hungry and in a bad mood, it will be her unlucky one.

"No, long story short, what's wrong?"

"It's actually like this... At first everything went well... Later I found out..." Alice briefly reported the situation in the past few days, "Professor, what do you think?"

"There is indeed no problem with the materials used. But because the effect and duration of different potion materials are also different, this leads to the general result of changing back."

"What should I do?"

"This is the difficulty of this research." Snape turned and signaled, and Alice followed into the office. "According to the rules of the competition, the tutor can only provide very limited help for the key points of the research."

Then there is really no way?Alice bit her lower lip. Although she knew the reason, she had no idea about the solution.

When she was distracted, Snape began to look for something on the bookshelf.

"What is the limited help?" Alice did not give up, no matter how limited the help was, it was better than nothing.

As soon as she finished speaking, a black notebook appeared in front of her eyes.

"Go back and see for yourself, come and ask if you have any questions."

Snape got up again, Alice tactfully stopped disturbing, and ran back to the dormitory with the notebook in her pocket.

Carrie is not here, she must have gone to dinner.

Not very hungry yet, Alice felt that it would not be too late to go to the dining room slowly, and opened the note in her hand excitedly in the next second.

"Half-Blood Prince's Potion Research Notes?" Looking at the title page, she asked in confusion.
