Chapter 84 The Strange Potion

Wo Bu Geng Xin
Luke saw that Hermione's eyes were not moving, and his open mouth remained open, so he immediately slapped Doris across the face.
Doris groaned aggrievedly, then straightened her body up, and hit Luke hard on the head twice, but in the end it was neither painful nor itchy.After that, he got back into his inner pocket as if playing a petty temper, and stretched out his tail to button up the inner pocket.
At the end of the day, I don't know if I was still unhappy, and I stuck my head out and spat at Luke, and then shrank back.
This gesture also made Luke a little dumbfounded.
But Hermione on the opposite side didn't feel Doris's playfulness and cuteness at all. After regaining her senses, beads of sweat oozed from her forehead, and her breathing became much heavier involuntarily.Looking at Luke's hidden inner pocket, his face was full of shock.
"Relax, relax. The little one meant no harm, but next time you'd better call 'her,' or just Doris."
Luke was also quite helpless, and he didn't expect that Doris would care so much about a title.But the humanity and wisdom of this little guy really shouldn't be called 'it'.
As for the lack of malice, if there is really malice, it will not just be slow.It doesn't even count as petrification, let alone the directly fatal snake eye.
Hermione finally regained her composure, and asked in surprise, "What is she?"
In addition to the surprise, doubt, and curiosity in the tone, there is also this fear.
The look in Luke's eyes is also quite complicated, obviously thinking of many things in an instant.And just now, she really felt despair and fear.
Isn't it a little too much for Luke to have such a dangerous magical animal in school.
Naturally, she couldn't hide her thoughts from Luke, but Luke didn't expect that the two of them would have such a conflict, so he could only explain: "Doris is a basilisk, but it's just a very strange basilisk. I don't even think she is a simple basilisk."
"So what kind of magical creature she is, I'm just curious."
"Don't worry, Doris is quite obedient, really obedient."
Luke knew that his explanation was somewhat weak, but there was really no way to give a more effective example.You can't tell Hermione clearly, 'You're still alive because she's obedient'.
So he was also a little embarrassed.
"This time it was just an accident. I will go back and discipline her properly."
Saying this, I just felt another commotion in my inner pocket, but at last nothing else appeared.
Hermione finally calmed down, and after a sigh of relief, the way she looked at Luke changed a little.Although she is still young, she also knows that those who can tell you this kind of thing are true friends.
So she was quite satisfied with Luke telling her about it.Although this way of telling is somewhat special.
"As far as I can remember, the basilisk is one of the most dangerous magical creatures."
Hermione is usually not very interested in magical animals, so she has only heard of the name Basilisk.
"Yes, it is indeed dangerous, but there are no such things in the school."
As soon as the words came out, Hermione was stunned.Wasn't it originally?Where does this come from.
But Luke didn't elaborate, just said: "You will know later."
Hermione only told Luke when he was ready, she never thought that she would meet this basilisk in the original world line.
"So you're here to find clues about Doris?"
Hermione asked again, but as soon as the words fell, she asked and answered herself: "Then you should go to the bookshelf to the east to look for it. But if it is related to the basilisk... I guess you will inevitably ask Professor McGonagall for it. a note."
"I know that, in fact, as far as the basilisk is concerned, there should be few people who know better than me." Luke is not boasting, but is just stating the facts, "Except for the founder of the basilisk, our family should know the most about snakes." It’s a strange family. But what kind of secret is behind this basilisk is still puzzling.”
"After all, the birth method of the basilisk is somewhat bizarre."
A magic egg laid by a seven-year-old rooster in the sky of Sirius and hatched by a toad.
In the wizarding world, this kind of thing is not easy to do, but it is rare to say the least.It is estimated that among the several professors at Hogwarts, none of them can't do it.
Even Hagrid can do it, but even Hagrid keeps a respectful distance from such a dangerous creature without much spirituality.
Hermione didn't know much about these things, so she didn't say anything more, just nodded.
"You must have a sense of proportion."
She had always believed in Luke.And Luke is much better than her in most subjects.Naturally, she didn't feel that she could inspire Luke in the subjects that Luke was good at.
Luke nodded in the same way, and then said, "You recently helped me keep an eye on Harry and Ron. These two guys want to make a big news recently."
When Hermione heard the names 'Harry' and 'Ron', she couldn't help but feel a little headache. In her eyes, these two were the kings of deduction points, naughty ghosts, and dragging their feet.
Nothing that is useful is done, and nothing that drags down the entire academy is left behind.So far, less than half of Gryffindor's deductions have to be counted on the two of them.
The other more than half is counted on the twins and Lee Jordan.
But Hermione couldn't do anything to them after all, she could only look at them coldly, and didn't give them any good looks.
Now that Luke has given such a task, she is somewhat embarrassed.After all, even if she saw those two people now, she still felt that their faces were hideous.
Thinking about the one in my dormitory who thinks Ron is handsome, and who adores Harry a little bit except for himself.
Whenever she talked about this kind of topic, she felt like an outsider in the dormitory.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help looking at Luke, staring at that handsome face, a little helpless,
When it comes to Harry, they still have disagreements, but when it comes to Luke, there is none at all.
Good looks, good family background, good personality, good talent, good popularity.
So good that they didn't dare to approach him.
Only Hermione was an exception.Hermione and Luke are very close, and everyone can see that.
To be honest, Hermione sometimes felt that she was rejected by others, not necessarily because of Luke.
Although it's somewhat unreasonable to blame Luke for this kind of thing.
"Okay, I'll keep an eye on the two of them, but you'll have to give me my Transfiguration over the weekend."
Hermione agreed, but also offered an exchange.
"No problem, just leave it to me."
Luke also readily agreed.He knew very well that Hermione was not his subordinate now, but one of the future subordinates he was subduing.
The current interaction with each other cannot be done in the way of the above and the next.
What's more... He knew at first that Hermione would not become one's subordinate so easily.Bonding with friendship is the best way. Of course, he also recognizes that Hermione is a friend worth making.
I briefly explained to Hermione, and asked the smart Hermione to help me keep an eye on those two guys who are full of troubles, and they will make some big troubles unintentionally.
Saying no matter to the face is to make people feel at ease.Secretly looking for someone to watch, it is for my own peace of mind.To be honest, Luke was afraid that Harry and Ron would suddenly make some big news.
Especially when such big news is not under his control.
The two walked out of the library together, and it was time for class. Unfortunately, today was another Potions class. Of course, Luke didn't really like Potions class, but Hermione still liked it.
Because this is one of the few courses where she can overwhelm Luke.
Of course, in this class, she is still not the one who stands out the most...
"Slytherin! Add five points!"
"Very good! Taylor!" Snape smiled in satisfaction as he looked at the potion that Taylor had brewed, which was obviously super class. Although the smile was a bit stiff and not pleasing, it was undoubtedly a smile .
Taylor smiled shyly at Snape, not caring about everyone's envious eyes.
This batch of first-year limelight, Luke's transfiguration, Hermione's history of magic, Neville's herbalism, Taylor's potions, Harry's flying lessons...
Although each has its own merits, it is obviously beyond everyone, that is, Luke's Transfiguration and Taylor's Potions. No matter how much it is, it is Harry's flying lesson.None of the others have reached that state of being beyond the reach of others.
Snape looked at Taylor with great satisfaction, and then gave Luke a cold look.With a snort, he walked in Harry's direction.
He knew that Luke must be guided by Taylor to cook the potion.He didn't bother to pay attention to it, and let Luke ignore it.
Although this kid has always been paddling in his own class, the student with high talent respects him openly and secretly.The students couldn't tell, they only thought the two were close.
But some of the professors were blind. Luke and Taylor were close, but they could vaguely see the difference.
Of course Snape didn't like it, but he couldn't say anything.It can only be out of sight and out of mind.
Watching Snape leave, Taylor also began to teach Luke how to brew the potions that should be brewed in this class.
What they were going to practice in this class was the combination of medicinal properties, so this bottle of potion used to treat minor illnesses such as colds used a total of 74 kinds of potions that were not precious but were very complicated.
The order of front and back, and the time of putting in the medicinal materials are all complicated.In the end, with so many medicinal materials, the fused medicine can only be used to cure colds.
This thing obviously has no commercial value, but it is excellent for teaching students.
I don't know if Snape found Brother Zhi's weird prescription from a book, or he researched it himself.
But regardless of the latter or the former, even though Snape didn't say anything, he was still a very good professor after all.
"Well, this is for you."
Luke watched Snape walk away, and pulled the little potion bottle from his belt.If you look closely, there is a shallow bottom inside.
Taylor took the potion bottle, and asked curiously, "What is this?"
She didn't ask why there were only so few left.
In fact, Luke didn't expect this thing to be so powerful last night, and he almost didn't even keep it.
Even if I turned over in bed last night, there would be nothing left this morning.
"I don't know what the potion Dumbledore gave me is, but it's not simple. It seems to be able to replenish mental power."
Luke didn't change his face, and while talking, he put materials into the crucible.
He is not good at the magic that assists in the formation of potions, but he has no problem remembering the brewing method of potions.He is confident that he can brew this potion within three failures.
Luke was brewing medicine, and Taylor opened the medicine bottle and slapped his nose with his fingers.Then she suddenly felt refreshed, her whole body was three points relaxed, and she even felt a little ecstatic.
But she quickly came back to her senses, and quickly closed the lid before the scent wafted away.
Looking at Luke who was concentrating on boiling the medicine, she said frankly, "I've never seen such a potion. It's amazing. You can't analyze the ingredients just by smelling it."
As he said that, Taylor looked at the potion bottle with only one bottom left: "There is too little to drink, it is impossible to analyze it."
Potion brewing itself is complicated.What's more, stronger potion masters will add a little material that does not affect the efficacy of the potion, but can change the taste after the potion is finished.
Make sure that your potion will not be easily deduced by others.
"It's okay, I'll go back to Dumbledore and ask for a bottle."
Luke said nonchalantly.
Taylor opened his mouth, froze for a moment, and then waved his hand to hit Luke, but seeing that Luke's potion brewing had reached a critical moment, he was speaking fine, hitting him, disrupting his rhythm and movements is absolutely unacceptable of.
Speaking of which, she was a little funny for a while when she saw the beads of sweat on Luke's forehead that had been baked by the fire, and his tense face.
Luke always seemed so wise. Although he was only 11 years old, he was like a grown-up, old and reliable.They have never put on the airs of nobility in front of them, but they are much more exaggerated than Malfoy in terms of etiquette and diet.
Compared to Malfoy who makes himself look like a noble young master all the time, Luke suddenly reminds everyone that he is a real noble young master.
But it's really rare for Luke to be so nervous in front of his eyes.But Tyler understood him, too.He didn't care about the potion, but he didn't want to let himself have such an obvious shortcoming.Talent may not be enough, but at least work harder than others.
Throwing in the towel is not Luke's style.
So Taylor showed a gentle smile.But soon, from the corner of her eye, she saw a guy over there sneaking towards the two of them.
Doris groaned aggrievedly, then straightened her body up, and hit Luke hard on the head twice, but in the end it was neither painful nor itchy.After that, he got back into his inner pocket as if playing a petty temper, and stretched out his tail to button up the inner pocket.
At the end of the day, I don't know if I was still unhappy, and I stuck my head out and spat at Luke, and then shrank back.
