[Zhongyingmei] Small vase

Immediately, almost immediately.

Abby stared intently at the bubbling cauldron without blinking.

"20 seconds, 20 seconds..."

Arrived.

Abby shook her wrist and waved her wand in the void.

Now that the sunflower and mandrake root grinds have been added, it's time to add jumping toadstool powder.

She put them carefully into the cauldron.

After that……

"Counterclockwise, counterclockwise..." Abby mumbled nervously, looking at the steaming cauldron, and swallowed.

As soon as the hand was stretched out, it trembled like touching a switch.Abby snapped her hand away again.

She rubbed her fingers vigorously until her fingertips turned red, and she barely restrained the urge to tremble.

This time, there must be no mistakes!

Abby's knowledge of potions is far less than that of herbal medicine (in fact, she is only good at herbal medicine class), which makes her and her good friend Neville difficult brothers.Yesterday, because she remembered "stirring counterclockwise" as "clockwise", the cauldron exploded.

If Professor Snape was here, his face would have been too dark to read.

And Abby will be sprayed into eight petals by the venom splashed from his wriggling lips.

Let's not mention this.In short, the Abby of today is not the Abby of yesterday!She is confident and rejuvenated!

Take a deep breath and stir counterclockwise three times.

She stared rightly, and was pleasantly surprised to see a change in the weather in the cauldron: it had been a pan of colorless chaos, bubbling lazily; but now the cauldron hissed clearly, Accompanied by the sound for a while, the color of the potion gradually turned transparent.

Finally, a small puddle settled down, showing a faint purple color.

By the way, it is purple!

The color of Seventy Sweet Dreams.

The potion that Abby wants to make is called "Seven Points Dream", and the color after molding is as dreamy as the name.But Abby's pot is still too light, not the kind of rich lilac purple, but a bit like the clouds in the spring mountains.

Abby couldn't help looking at a sprig of peppermint in her hand.

She remembered what Harry Potter once said to her: "Too light in color means that the concentration is not high. As an additive, peppermint has no side effects and will not cause mixing of ingredients, but it can make your potion The state is saturated in an instant."

"Add a sprig of peppermint, and everything will be fine." She remembered him telling her that, "I read it from an old notebook."

Abby has also read in the book that peppermint is indeed a safe potion ingredient, although it is vague about its effect on concentration.

She hesitated a bit.

This pot of potion is very important to her, and it is not perfect if it is weak or strong.

She hesitated for 3 minutes, but in the end she gave up and added half a stick to the pot.

Almost as soon as it was added, the potion in the crucible tumbling had a wonderful reaction: the originally very weak medicinal soup suddenly seemed to be mixed with a spoonful of salt, and suddenly became rich and flavorful.

There is also a fragrance of flowers in the air.

Abby took a deep breath, silently clenched her fists and made two gestures in the air.

Yes!

With sparkling eyes, she knocked the small pool of potion boiled in the pot into the sealed bottle.

Just as she was turning the vial and admiring the pure purple that settled inside, the doorbell rang.

"Come on!"

Abby put the small bottle in the drawer and almost jumped to open the door.

Standing outside the door was, as expected, Steve.

I've seen him a lot lately—

Abby thought a little excitedly in her heart.

She attributes the joy to the success of "Seventy Dreams," and perhaps a little to the delightful look of her new neighbors.

He is indeed handsome, very classic and very classically handsome.A Muggle man to be sure, but his face glowed like a Disney prince as if he had been beautified.

When she saw it, it was as if she had taken a euphoria, and happiness popped out.

Steve smiled before saying anything: "What's wrong with you, so happy?"

Abby shook her head, rarely reckless: "I'm just very happy!"

Steve looked at the little dimple sunken in and smiled too.

Inexplicably, the two of them stood at the door and laughed silly for a long time.A sense of mindless happiness swells in the air.

It was Steve who came back to his senses first, he hadn't forgotten his business anyway.He stretched forward with both arms behind his back, and handed her an exquisite gift bag.

There was also a bow on the gift bag, which was tied with a cherry red ribbon, the same color as the ribbon that Abby used to tie the little sweets that day.It's too beautiful to take apart.

"Here you are, a housewarming gift from a neighbor."

Abby looked down at the gift bag foolishly, and foolishly at him.

Steve had put his hands in his pockets, but when he noticed her eyes, he raised one hand naturally... and touched his nose.

God.He secretly prayed in his heart: I hope the girl didn't see his ears turning red.

He admits that he has no fancy, and his romantic cells are scarce.Brooklyn's weaklings have few advantages over the likes of James and Tony.But today is different from the past, he has grown more mature and confident, at least not lacking in interest.

So he hid the innocence brewed in the old wine cellar, took a step forward and showed it actively.

Abby was stunned for a long time, then seemed to be frightened, and quickly took the bag with both hands.

"It's a pair of earmuffs," Steve explained. "The last time I saw yours, there was a little hole in it."

Abby's heart skipped a beat.

She vaguely remembers that time.Maybe it was only for a moment, but it was actually noticed.

What a careful heart, and what a keen observation!

But how should she explain that the pair of earmuffs are made of special material, in order to prevent the noise made by the mandrake, although there is a small hole in it, it does not hinder the use; as for other ordinary earmuffs, it is enough to kill those little guys Screaming is of no use at all.

How could she tell Steve the truth?

She was still looking up at him.Watching his ear pinnas slowly turn red, and the blood slowly seeping into his neck, he looks more like a classical sculpture that has been painted wrongly.

Abby decided to keep this secret forever.

Yes, for a lifetime!

Steve's blushing was contagious, and Abby felt like her own face was steamed.

She blushed and thanked:

"Thank you, Steve..." By the way, he stuck into the repeater, "I mean, I, I really don't know how to thank you, oh..."

Steve galloped in his heart, and finally regained his composure from thousands of miles away.He spoke seriously and calmly:

"I don't need anything in return, Abby. This is something I'm happy to do for a friend, and I shouldn't be asking for an equal exchange."

Abby heard the chest firework go off, bang bang bang louder than the Waterloo cannon.

She pursed her lower lips and whispered stubbornly:

"But I want to thank you."

She bit the word "want" very hard.The more you talk about the back, the lower and stickier it is, like honey that can't be melted.

She dared not look up at him anymore.The body moved towards the pair of plump pectoralis major muscles, mustering up all the courage——

Steve only felt a heat in his chest, and then a cold.

She gave him a hug.The arms were as flexible as two swimming fish, and the moment he noticed it, they shyly fled away.

Abby didn't dare to look up at all. She hung her hairy head and rubbed her left foot against her right foot.

Steve stared at the pale blonde hair twirling and suddenly felt his mouth go dry.

It took him a long time to find his lost vocal cords: "...then I'll go first."

Abby murmured "Yes", and finally lifted his heavy head, and smiled at him even though his face was very red, unnaturally.

She didn't know that she had amazing eyes and a sparkling smile, even the most vicious villain would soften her heart when she saw her.

"Please also look forward to my gift." Abby said sincerely, "It's not a reward, it's what I like to do for my friends."

Steve's old heart almost melted into a puddle of water.

She said such things with such an accent and such an expression——

It's really cute.

His fingers curled up slowly, calming down his turbulent mood while breathing.By the way, he showed a joyful yet steady smile to the girl who knew nothing.

……

Abby sees Steve off, and the first thing she does is hang up the earmuffs and her scarf.

It was also a pair of pink earmuffs, but it was slightly different from the one she was used to: the symmetrical parts were embroidered with bunnies and carrots, which looked much more interesting.

Abby touched the fluff on it cherishingly.

The return gift to Steve was important, but now she had other things to do.

She opened the drawer and retrieved the vial full of purple potion.

Joy ebbs, replaced by tension, and they come on menacingly.Abby's blood vessels were boiling slightly, and she couldn't wait to pull out the cork.

immediately.The miracle she had been hoping for was about to come true.

Abby swallowed and brought the reagent bottle to her mouth.

The flower-like fragrance spread out again, turning into a ribbon sticking out of the bottle mouth in the air, luring the lips that were about to move.

She closed her eyes, and the face of the person she wanted to see most appeared in her mind.

That face was smiling vividly, together with the hair and the small freckles on the cheeks, all wrapped in a halo.

And the halo is getting weaker and weaker, and it will disappear soon.

Abby was in a hurry.She raised her neck and drank the whole bottle of purple potion.

Unprepared, she licked her tongue in pain, her eyebrows and nose wrinkled together.

The taste is really... indescribable!It's almost slug mixed with troll saliva, and maybe rat bile.

It's not like a dream at all—

It was the last thought remaining in her brain.

One second, two seconds.She fell limp to the ground in an instant as if her hamstring had been cramped.

The author has something to say:

Peppermint is also me talking nonsense, the half-blood prince of ballball spare me.

Key points: the small holes in the earmuffs mentioned in the previous chapter.
