#231 - How to clear the customs

According to Professor Snape's explanation, taking Felix Felicis can lead to overconfidence, even recklessness.

Some people may become overly reliant on the luck brought by the potion, ignoring potential risks and making irrational decisions and actions as a result.

After the potion's effects wear off, when the good luck is gone, users will also experience a sense of psychological letdown.

"Okay, so that means if I'm going to use this luck potion, I need to think in advance about what I want to do, and try not to make any major decisions while under its effects, right?"

After listening to Snape's explanation of the side effects of Felix Felicis, Moon also had his own coping methods.

"That's right, but I must remind you that this potion is best used once a month,

otherwise it is easy to become addicted."

"Is that so? I'm really looking forward to experiencing the effects of this potion more and more."

Seeing that Moon was not worried about the side effects at all, but rather eager to try it, Snape knew that no matter how much he said, it would be useless.

"In that case, I will first finish brewing the Plant Growth Potion you need, and then brew Felix Felicis. A year should be enough time."

After Snape finished speaking, he put the box containing snow berries into his pocket and got up to leave.

"Professor, isn't a year a bit too slow?"

"Slow?"

Snape had already walked to the door, but when he heard Moon speak, he immediately stopped in his tracks, his tone becoming gloomy.

", Do you really not know how complicated it is to brew advanced potions? To brew six bottles of Felix Felicis in more than half a year, you can ask around and see if there is any potion master who can do that."

Thinking that his entire year of free time would be controlled by Moon's potions, Snape felt very depressed.

And now this little lion was complaining that he was brewing potions too slowly, which made Snape even more frustrated.

"Alright then, Professor, I'll just take delivery at the time you said."

Moon wanted to get the potion as soon as possible, but seeing that Snape was on the verge of going crazy again, he knew that this was already the other party's limit.

Looking at Moon's carefree and casual appearance, Snape's breathing became heavier and heavier, and his face became more and more unsightly.

"If I had known, I should have pretended to be a Dark Wizard and robbed you of this snow berry."

Listening to Snape's threatening remarks, Moon waved his hand and went back to bed, burrowing into the covers.

"Don't worry, Professor, you won't do that."

"Hmm?"

Snape looked suspicious.

"Why wouldn't I? This snow berry is worth 3,000 Galleons. Any Dark Wizard would want to get it."

"Because you are a proud person and would never do such petty thieving."

Although Snape was not Moon's Head of House, after several conversations, Moon discovered that the other party was like a noble and elegant black peacock.

Apart from loving to deduct points from Gryffindor, he would never steal like a rat.

Hearing Moon's evaluation, Snape was first stunned for a moment, and then a meaningful expression appeared on his face.

"Moon Scarlett, don't casually evaluate a professor. You have no idea what he has done in the past."

After Snape finished speaking, he walked out of the room without looking back.

Listening to Snape's last nonsensical words, Moon was also a little curious.

"What's wrong with Snape? Could it be that he did something in the past that he regrets?"

Looking at the open door that Snape left behind, Moon helplessly got out of bed and closed it, and then quickly fell into a deep sleep. Moon spent the next three days at the Leaky Cauldron.

Reading, practicing inscription carving, eating, and sleeping.

It was also during these three days that a strange wizard wearing a black cloak and hood came to Hogsmeade.

Every night, he would arrive at the Hog's Head Inn on time to order two glasses of butterbeer and gamble with the wizards in the bar for entertainment.

Until the third day, when he saw a tall figure walking into the bar, the hooded wizard's eyes lit up instantly.

"Hagrid, you said you are the gamekeeper at Hogwarts, so have you seen many magical creatures?"

After generously buying several rounds of drinks, the distance between Hagrid and the hooded wizard was reduced a lot.

"Hic~, that's right. There are all kinds of animals in the Forbidden Forest, unicorns, Bowtruckles, centaurs, Thestrals, Hippogriffs....."

Having drunk three glasses in a row, Hagrid's consciousness was already a little unclear, but when he talked about his professional field, he became energetic again.

"Bartender, another big glass of firewhisky for Hagrid, on me."

"Oh, no, I've had enough to drink today."

Hagrid said, hurriedly raising his hand to stop him.

"It's okay, let's chat some more. I really like listening to what you're saying."

The hooded wizard took a full glass of whisky and handed it to Hagrid.

", Is that so? There are too few people like you who are willing to listen to my rambling. There are very few people who go to my place, so I usually say these things to the dog."

Hagrid took the wine and gulped down another half a glass.

The hooded wizard's face became a little unnatural, but remembering his purpose tonight, he still endured it.

"By the way, don't you have any particularly powerful animals there?"

"Of course there are powerful ones. You know the Acromantula, right? Its venom is very powerful, and when it's an adult, it can wrap an adult man in its silk."

"There are also dragons. These animals are fascinating, but they are not allowed to be raised in the Forbidden Forest."

When Hagrid said he liked dragons, his eyes became more and more blurred.

The hooded wizard seemed to be prepared, and at this time, he happened to take out the dragon egg that he had just bought from Knockturn Alley a few days ago.

"You actually have one. Tell me, how do you want to bet?"

Hagrid was very fond of some large animals, and when he saw a real dragon egg appear, he naturally wouldn't let it go.

"Let's play cards and bet on the size."

"I never thought that your card skills were so good, Hagrid. You can have the dragon egg, but you have to prove that you can deal with a dragon and won't let it run out and cause trouble, right?"

"Oh, you can rest assured. I can even manage Fluffy, so I can definitely manage a dragon."

Hagrid won the hooded wizard in just one game, and then he got the dragon egg he had been dreaming of.

"Fluffy, what is that?"

"Oh, a dog with three heads. It's very ferocious. It will pounce on strangers and bite them.

No one can escape."

"Is it that powerful? Then how did you subdue it?"

"Actually, it's nothing. If you want to make Fluffy quiet, you just need to play some music."

Hagrid looked at the dragon egg in his hand with joy. The effect of the alcohol made him unable to recall that Fluffy was carrying out a secret mission.

"You can just play music? Is it that simple?"

The hooded wizard couldn't help but be a little suspicious after hearing this.

He had seen that three-headed dog before and it was very difficult to deal with.

"Of course, but it may not work now. I had someone strengthen it."

"Strengthen! What do you mean?"

After coming out of the Hog's Head Inn, the hooded wizard became very depressed.

This time, he not only lost a dragon egg, but also didn't get a way to deal with the three-headed dog.

Later, he wanted to take the dragon egg while Hagrid was asleep, but he didn't expect that Hagrid would hold the dragon egg very tightly even when he was asleep.

"Master, what should we do now? I don't have any more money to buy those materials for you on the black market."

Since being parasitized, Quirrell had to go to Knockturn Alley every once in a while to buy a batch of unicorn blood,

Last time, he failed to capture Moon, so he could only follow orders and turn his target to Hagrid.

That dragon egg had emptied his pockets.

"Don't worry, didn't you hear Hagrid say that there is a large group of unicorns in the Forbidden Forest."

Hearing the cold voice coming from behind, the hooded wizard widened his eyes in horror.

"Master, no, that.... that will be cursed."

"I'll absorb it, not you. What are you afraid of?"

"But.... but this is my body~"

"Hmph, don't worry, as long as we can succeed this time, I will naturally help you remove the curse. Don't forget my identity."

"Okay...... Okay, I will listen to Master's instructions."

Hearing that his master would help him remove the curse, Quirrell reluctantly agreed, although he was unwilling.

"But, Master, what about that three-headed dog? It was already very powerful, and now it has been strengthened by Moon Scarlett. I can't deal with it at all!"

"Moon Scarlett, what a fascinating little lion," Since the original method doesn't work, then we can only....."

While a person and a soul were talking about Moon, the little wizard they were talking about was already preparing to go to the Ministry of Magic to attend the award ceremony.
