Chapter 49 Dilemma
Meka Anders returned to his dormitory, and the first thing he did was check the duelist medal. He found a message from someone in the distance:
"It's been a long time since I received news about the medal. I was a little excited. I thought Ryan had just disappeared and was coming back now, so he contacted me through the medal? It's a pity that after all, this is an impossible dream. "
The person who responded to the letter was Ryan's wife Eva. She said that originally only Ryan and her knew about this communication method, so she chose to trust the person who wrote the letter.
"To tell you the truth, I didn't trust Ryan's friends a long time ago."
She explained that after Ryan's death, his friends never visited the home again, not even to pay their respects.
The only person who came to mourn was named Ste Willis. After some pretentiousness, he learned that the potion shop run by their family was prosperous and profitable, so he proposed to buy the potion shop, but the price offered was pitifully low. , in order to make their mother and daughter no longer have anything to rely on.
"Ste Willis?" Meka was surprised to see this name here again.
He felt a little emotional, feeling that this man had become crazy. He could kill someone else's husband, and he could still use the excuse that he was being blackmailed, but this time he was trying to seize someone else's property. This was a completely evil path, and the person had changed.
"The dilemma I'm facing right now has to do with Ste Willis."
Ryan's wife Eva continued, "He bribed the old people in the potion shop and made these former brothers of Ryan deliberately go against me. They hold some key sources of potions."
Eva said that those people split the assets of the good potion shop into two, and now one half is in her hands and the other half is in the hands of Stella Willis.
As a result, Stella Willis has collected most of the profits from the potions in the past few years, making her a lot of money. Recently, the people in the potion shop asked her to hand over the remaining half on the grounds of her incompetence in management.
"This person looks like he was born perverted." Seeing this, Meka felt that Ste Willis might have a dark heart, but he accidentally took off his mask and became himself.
"Now I lack the source of some high-quality potions, and those potion masters are gradually moving away from me. At the request of Ste Willis, they are unwilling to cooperate with me." Eva explained.
She said that if there was a stable and high-quality supply of low-level potions, she could open up the market with low-level potions and gradually recover the share taken away from Ste Willis.
"I'm so sorry." Eva knew that potion masters who could refine high-quality potions were scarce, so she left an apologetic message,
"This request seems a bit excessive, but now I can only look for help everywhere, and there is no way out. I hope you can understand my unreasonableness.
If you have such a potion channel, I am willing to purchase it at a price that is 10% higher than the market price to express my sincerity. "
"Purchase at a price that is 10% higher?" Meka smiled brightly when he saw this.
He didn't expect that as soon as he got the medal of Potion Apprentice, the opportunity to make money would come to him. It was like gold and galleons falling from the sky.
"The letter also left an address. It's actually in Knockturn Alley, which is as famous as Diagon Alley? It's just convenient for me to send the potion samples."
Meka quickly decided to make a few bottles of high-quality low-level potions as soon as possible and send them to Ryan's wife and daughter. On the one hand, he would fulfill Ryan's last wish and on the other hand, he would fill his empty pockets.
…
The next day, Meka was going to steal materials from Professor Snape and make a few bottles of potions, but she was blocked by Harry and others in the Gryffindor common room.
"I really didn't expect that, Meka, you got the medal of Potions Apprentice quietly?"
Harry was surprised. He had only heard people talking about this matter in the morning, and only then did he know that Meka, who was in the same dormitory, had done such a big thing silently.
"It's not just that." Hermione said, looking at Meka with envy,
"It is said that he is the youngest potions apprentice at Hogwarts in recent years. This is a huge honor. Even Professor Dumbledore asked about him after he returned from a business trip."
"Hey." Ron asked quietly, "I heard that you got a special Potion Apprentice Medal? Can you lend it to me?"
Meka was a bit dumbfounded. Unexpectedly, several people blocked him here early in the morning, and as a result, he was praised in all kinds of ways.
He took out the magic apprentice's medal and handed it to Ron.
"Sure enough, it's specially made. It's different when you hold it in your hand." Ron couldn't put it down.
Several people gathered around and shouted, looking left and right, and finally reluctantly handed it back to Meka.
After Meka put away the medal, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Harry holding a delicate and straight broomstick. It was obviously different from the previous one. It was very valuable at first glance. He said curiously:
"Is this the broomstick you received as a gift from others before?"
"Yes." Harry said with a smile, "Ron said this is the latest model of broomstick, I will take it out today to try it out."
"Nimbus 2000." Ron introduced him excitedly, "Produced by the Nimbus Broomstick Company, it is very fast and stable. It is simply my dream broom."
He smiled and talked about Harry's recent performance: "Harry has been training very effectively on the Quidditch field. I believe he will surprise everyone on the day of the game."
"Really?" Meka smiled at Harry, "Then I'll wait and see, waiting for you and the Gryffindor team to win the trophy."
…
Professor Snape had a rare visitor, and Cooper from the Potions Guild talked to him at the door.
"Are you familiar with Professor Quirrell?" Cooper asked about Professor Quirrell.
Professor Snape looked at him in surprise and asked, "Do you have something to do with him?"
Cooper nodded and said, "After the assessment, Professor McGonagall arranged for me to meet with the professors. Professor Quirrell happened to be busy and didn't get to know him well, so I wanted to make up for it."
Cooper explained that he had been to Professor Quirrell's office several times, but unfortunately he didn't meet him.
Professor Snape could only tell the truth. Professor Quirrell was indeed very busy recently. He had been there several times and wanted to chat with him, but he didn't meet him.
Cooper talked for a long time, but didn't get to know anything. In the end, he had to leave on the pretext of having something to do.
"What a pity." He walked on the spacious road with some regrets.
At the assessment site, he saw Professor Quirrell's profile and suspected that he had taken a banned drug. If he could find out the source of the banned drug from him, it would be a great achievement for him, and his promotion to deacon would be a natural result.
…
“The people from the Potions Guild are asking about my whereabouts?”
Professor Quirrell watched this scene from a distance, his eyes were solemn, and he had some bad guesses.
“Did the test site reveal the truth?”
Professor Quirrell had some doubts. He wanted to cover it with clothes that day to avoid the eyes of the Potions Guild, but if so, Professor Snape would soon make some associations, so after thinking it over, he gave up.
He stared at Cooper's figure as he walked away, and had some ideas in his mind:
“We need to find out whether he noticed the traces of my use of banned drugs. If so, there is only one way to go.”
“I remember that he had a deep conflict with another person.”
Professor Quirrell thought of the quarrel between Cooper and another person that night. He felt that there was something he could use. He heard footsteps behind him, and he turned and left.
After he left, Meka passed by this road and came to Professor Snape's office and began to refine the potion sample.
