Chapter 678: Norbert is remembered

In addition to Professor McGonagall, Kyle also needs to go to the offices of Professor Flitwick and Professor Sprout. After all, every college has students who want to enter the Ministry of Magic.

But for Slytherin, Snape didn't seem to think they needed Kyle to provide any advice, but this also saved Kyle a lot of time.

For a period of time after that, he moved between the three dean's offices almost every day and was extremely busy, even during class time.

The professors seemed to think that missing a few days of classes was not a big deal for Kyle, so it wasn't until three days after school started that Kyle finally walked into the classroom again.

"You're late." Snape said with a straight face, his voice colder than the underground classroom in February.

"Sorry, I just came out of Professor Flitwick's office." Kyle explained: "I thought he told you."

"Ah, yes..." Snape drawled, "Senior Assistant Minister, sitting in such an important position before graduation, how amazing it is."

There was a hint of mockery in his voice.

"What are you still dawdling about? Do you want me to ask you to go back to your seat?"

Kyle quickly walked to the only empty table and sat down. Connor next to him turned her head and was about to say something when she was interrupted by Snape's voice.

"Broad-spectrum antidote...a more efficient antidote that can even resolve some of the damage caused by black magic..."

He waved his magic wand, and the production steps immediately appeared on the blackboard.

"The things you need are still in the cabinet, but please note that because unicorn horns are expensive, each person can only take one...

"Although I don't think anyone sitting here will make a stupid mistake, but if any of you really waste this material, you can only buy it yourself."

Everyone lined up to go to the cabinet to get the materials they needed, and Kyle also got his share.

A piece of bezoar, a bag of mistletoe berries, a vial of Motla rat bile, and a cut disc about the size of a Galleon.

"I thought there was a whole one, but it turned out to be just this big." Kyle muttered quietly, but after seeing Snape's cold eyes, he quickly shut his mouth.

But it's not surprising if you think about it carefully. According to "Advanced Potion Making", it takes a whole unicorn horn to brew a broad-spectrum antidote to achieve its maximum effect, but the school obviously won't let them. Such luxury.

After all, in Diagon Alley, a horn made of only the outermost ring of shells that had been hollowed out would cost twenty-one galleons. If anyone really had one, the cost of this lesson would be too great. It is impossible for the school director to agree.

And for students who were brewing a broad-spectrum antidote for the first time, this little material was enough. Five minutes before the end of get out of class, only three people had finished it, and the others made more or less mistakes. The place.

This kind of potion is definitely unusable, and even using a whole unicorn horn would be a waste.

"How are you preparing?" After leaving the underground classroom, Kyle looked at Kangna next to him and asked, "Are you planning to take the assessment of the Association of Extraordinary Pharmacists directly after the end of the school year?"

"That's what Professor Snape said." Connor stuffed two thick books into her bag. "He also said that he has asked me to brew more different potions in the recent period and become familiar with their processes. There should not be any pause.

"Oh, he also asked me to sort out the newly invented potion formula as soon as possible... This is the first step to enter the Association of Extraordinary Pharmacists."

Kyle nodded. He had also heard of this. The Association of Extraordinary Pharmacists did have this rule. They valued a wizard's talent in using potions more than mere written performance.

This is the same as the paper on "Today's Transfiguration". It doesn't need to be amazing, but you must have your own understanding.

"Do you need my help?"

Kyle asked: "I have basilisk venom and snake slough here. This kind of material has not appeared for a long time. You can make a new potion by adding anything else, and there will never be any duplicates." Risks are guaranteed to allow you to pass the assessment.

"Besides that, I should also be able to get the Tears of the Phoenix, but that thing may have to wait until Professor Dumbledore comes back."

"No need." Connor shook her head and said, "In fact, I had completed the new potion formula before Christmas, and Professor Snape also helped me read it, and he thought it fully met the requirements.

“So now I just need to learn more about potions.

"I remember that during the selection last year, they asked a very unpopular test question...the fish-man potion. No one could pass the test that year, and they all failed."

"Mlocculant potion?" Kyle couldn't help but said, "The people who applied to join the Extraordinary Pharmacists Association last year, did they offend them somewhere?"

This is a potion that allows the wizard to grow a fish's tail and breathe freely in the water.

To be honest, this kind of potion is rarely used in the entire magical world, not to mention in the UK. And even if necessary, it can be directly replaced with gilly grass. There is no need to go through an extra step.

Normally, only wizards who want to disguise themselves as fishmen would use this potion...

By the way, fishmen are creatures with human bodies and fish tails, and most of them have outstanding looks. They are completely different species from the mermaids in the Black Lake who are so ugly that they have no friends.

Kyle once wondered if the person who invented this potion had any other intentions.

…

"That's why I need to learn more knowledge to cope with their tricky test questions." Kangna said while rubbing her eyes.

Recently, she spent almost all her spare time in the school library.

Because there are many kinds of books about potions in the school library, you can find them no matter how popular they are... This is her advantage. Those who have graduated do not have such convenient conditions.

"By the way." Kyle suddenly asked: "What is the formula of the magic potion you invented?"

"A magic potion that can relieve fatigue." Kangna said, "I used dragon claw powder and mint leaves, which can make people energetic."

"Mint leaves..." Kyle seemed to have thought of something, "Did you add this to the chocolate you gave me for Christmas?"

"That's right." Connor said with a smile, "How does it feel."

"Bibafe's brain-refreshing drug works." Kyle said with a smile, "At least I didn't feel any drowsiness all day long."

Bafe brain-refreshing drugs can also make people concentrate and stay awake, but they will feel very tired after two hours, just like when they finally stop after exercising for a long time, and they can't feel energetic about anything.

He ate chocolate on Christmas Day, but he didn't feel the same way. Of course, its effect was naturally worse than Baffy's Brain Refresher, but it just kept Kyle from feeling sleepy all day long.

"I saw this from a very old book, which records many magical herbal combinations."

"That's great," Kyle said. "Have you considered selling? You could make a lot of money."

Since the Easter holidays have ended, exams seem to be right around the corner all of a sudden.

In recent times, things that can refresh people have been particularly popular, especially between the fifth and seventh grade. Some people have sold the Baffy Brain Refresher for twelve galleons.

The problem is that Bafei Brain Refresher, which can enhance intelligence and memory, is included in the list of cheating products like Felixir. It is not allowed to be sold and used publicly during exams. Once discovered, it will be confiscated.

It was just to earn some hard-earned money, but if it was confiscated, it would be more than worth the loss.

However, Kangna's new potion does not have such concerns. It only prevents people from feeling sleepy during the day, which is exactly what those students who doze off when reading books need most.

Moreover, this magical potion, which has just been invented and has not yet been released, cannot appear on the list of cheating products. Even if it is discovered, it will not matter.

Just perfect.

"Let's forget it." Kangna said with a smile, "I still want to read a book and don't have much time to brew potions. I just prepared some for my friends."

She took out a bottle of potion from her bag and handed it to Kyle, "This is for you."

There is a translucent light blue potion in the bottle. After opening it, you can smell a light mint smell, and a vague sweetness, which seems to be the smell of sunshine flower stems.

This is much better than the bitter and astringent Buffy Brain Refresher.

"You don't need to drink too much at one time. This bottle can last for about a week." Kangna continued: "Unfortunately, dragon claw powder is not easy to find, and I failed to brew it, so in the end there were only six bottles left.

"Cedric, the Weasley brothers are both in seventh grade, so they should be able to use it, and Qiu's... As for the last bottle, I plan to give it to Hermione. She is in fifth grade, and her exam is quite important."

Kyle's expression suddenly became a little strange, "What did you just say that it was hard to find?"

"Dragon claw powder." Connor said: "This thing is not sold in Hogsmeade at all. I have used up all the inventory in Professor Snape's private storage room. He is helping me find new dragon claw powder." .”

Kyle's expression became even weirder and he couldn't help but ask: "Look at me carefully. Do you remember anything?"

"Ah?" Kangna looked at Kyle subconsciously. After a moment, her cheeks turned slightly red, but she still asked blankly: "Did I forget something?"

Kyle didn't say anything, he just took her to find an empty classroom and walked in, then took out the box.

"Come with me, I'll show you something." Kyle opened the box and walked in.

Kangna followed.

The two came to the small room at the entrance to the box.

Kangna noticed that the things here were more complete than the last time she came here. The originally spacious space could only lead to a path that could barely be walked.

"Sit down." Kyle said casually, then went straight to the bookshelf and found a bag.

"Let's take a look at this." Kyle poured out the contents of the bag, and seven or eight claws more than ten inches long fell on the table.

Kangna was suddenly stunned, "Could this be..."

"Yes, the claws of the fire dragon." Kyle said, "Have you forgotten? I have been to the fire dragon sanctuary in Romania and brought back a lot of trophies."

"I know." Kang Na has not yet come to her senses, "But I thought you only had the teeth and scales of the fire dragon."

"Fire dragons don't just bite each other when they fight." Kyle said, "It's just that their claws are stronger and don't have teeth that can be easily broken, so I didn't find much."

"Are these enough? If not... I should be able to get a few more." Kyle glanced at the direction of the door.

Now Norbert is either eating or sleeping, and teasing the moon-crazy beast. It shouldn't matter if he trims his nails properly.

"No, no, that's enough." Kangna said quickly: "The amount of dragon claw powder required is very small. One stick can be used about five times."

"That's all for you." Kyle pushed all his paws to Kangna, "If there is still any shortage, you can always tell me."

"Give me so much?" Kangna was stunned for a moment, "Don't you keep some for yourself?"

"It doesn't matter, it's of no use to me anyway." Kyle waved his hand indifferently, "And even if I need it, I can just look for it when the time comes."

At the same time, Norbert, who was chasing the Moon Crazy Beast, suddenly stopped and landed on a nearby cliff, looking around suspiciously.

It had just vaguely sensed a malice, as if someone was trying to do evil to it.

Norbert first glanced at the big black cat sleeping on the ground, and then snorted a small flame from his nostrils with disdain.

That little thing is too weak to defeat itself, so it must not be it.

Norbert looked at a cave not far away again, and his eyes became much more solemn. He felt that he had found the culprit.

After all, in this three-thirds of an acre of land, the only thing that could pose a threat to it was the big snake. Once, the big snake glanced at it, causing its wings to soften and it almost fell from the sky.

Thinking of this, Norbert became unhappy for a moment. He flapped his wings and flew over, raised his head, gathered strength, and sprayed a large mouthful of flames towards the cave.

There was a roar and a dull crashing sound from the cave, as if something wanted to come out, but was stopped again.

Norbert also roared, then flapped his wings contentedly and continued to play with the Moon-Crazy Beast.

But at this time, Kyle and Kangna had already left the box and did not hear the movement inside.

Connor returned to the underground classroom again, preparing to ask Snape to help grind the hard fire dragon claws into powder. This was a technical job that required special magical assistance. Neither Connor nor Kyle knew how to do it, so they had to ask Snape. Nep helps.

Kyle didn't follow him. He was worried that if he followed him, Snape might be embarrassed and he might say some weird words... It was better to let Connor go alone.

Kyle planned to use this time to distribute the potion that Kangna gave him to others.

Cedric and Qiu were okay, but after Fred and George learned about the potion's effects, they suddenly became excited, and their eyes were still shining.

"Listen to me Kyle, this thing can definitely make a lot of money!" Fred hugged the potion bottle tightly, "Do you know how many people want to buy Buffy's Brain Refresher recently?"

"That Ravenclaw Carmichael has sold several bottles..."

"But his potions were confiscated by Professor Flitwick in the end, haha..."

"I advise you not to think about it." Kyle shook his head and said, "This is what Kangna is going to use to take the examination of the Association of Extraordinary Pharmacists. Before that, it's best not to spread it. You can use it yourself. .”

Hearing what Kyle said, Fred and George gradually calmed down.

Although Galleons are very tempting, in comparison, the assessment of the Association of Extraordinary Pharmacists is more important.

And they also knew very well that Connor had been preparing for this for nearly a year. If something went wrong at the end, Professor Snape might be able to stuff them into the crucible... Maybe Kyle would be there to help pass the lid.

In addition to the Weasley brothers, Kyle also gave Hermione her share.

However, Hermione was very hesitant. She believed that using potions before the exam was cheating, regardless of whether the potions were on the list of cheating products.

Kyle knew Hermione's character very well and had already expected that she would react like this. He shrugged and said:

"It doesn't matter. If you don't want to use it, you can just give it to Harry and Ron. This thing will allow them to read a whole book without dozing off.

"Oh, just remember to tell them not to talk nonsense."

"I think they want a potion that can turn knowledge into pumpkin juice. As long as you drink it, you don't have to read the book." Hermione curled her lips and said, "But thank you anyway, I will keep it well."

"If Kangna can successfully pass the examination of the Association of Extraordinary Pharmacists, this bottle of potion may be the driving force for me to move forward."

Hermione took a deep breath.

She now increasingly doubts whether the school's claims about the four colleges are true.

That's it for Kyle and Cedric, she has already gotten used to them after such a long time.

As a result, there is now another Kangna who is expected to break the record for the youngest member of the Association of Extraordinary Pharmacists...

So, Hufflepuff is the school that truly represents wisdom, right!
