Chapter 659 The Library Conspiracy

"...It's all your fault! If it weren't for you, why would I still come to this library to clean things up on my rest day?"

There are basically no people in the library on Saturday, especially during the time after lunch, it is even more empty here. But at this moment, Erns and Alexander had to hold the cleaning tools and wander helplessly among the large number of bookshelves.

Regarding Erns' complaints, Alexander was indeed a little speechless.

"I didn't know that Professor Hagrid would see me when I was walking along the lake..." He took the broom and swept it again and again, his voice seemed rather weak.

Yes, it was Hagrid who suddenly appeared among the bushes at that time, and when Hagrid found Ensle had been cursed, he took him directly to the school hospital regardless of Ensler's willingness. After that, things were simple. When Professor McGonagall figured out what had happened, both of them were thrown into the library for punishment.

Like going to the trophy room to wipe the trophies, going to the library to clean up the dust is a relatively common punishment. In fact, except for too serious mistakes, the way of punishment is quite light.

But for a student, the precious free time on the rest day is wasted in the cleaning, which is the most painful thing.

"Quit!"

After sweeping a few more times as if coping with the matter, Ensi simply threw the broom on the ground and leaned against the window with a face full of impatience.

"Alexander, I'll give you my share—"

"Eh? Hey!" Alexander said depressedly, "Isn't it because you made the first move! Professor McGonagall said that—hey! When will I be alone!"

"Who cares about you..."

Erns pouted, and glanced casually on the bookshelf, intending to find a book to read.

Just looking at the title of the book casually, he knew that this should be the bookshelf of Potions, and it was the kind of difficult research materials that only senior students would borrow. And as soon as potions were mentioned, he suddenly remembered the "Felix chocolate" that Alexander had mentioned earlier this morning.

"Felix Felicia? What's the effect?" While thinking, Ens took out the book from the bookshelf and flipped through it, "Gebalot proposed that the antidote for mixed poisons is greater than the antidote for each individual component." Sum... What is this all about?"

Although he was looking for an analysis of the effects of Felicia, after flipping through a few books,

He felt like his head was about to explode. Among these books, if they are published in modern times, they are better, at least there is a catalog or something, but if they are older, there are only various manuscript books with no typesetting at all, just to identify those scribbled handwriting A lot of time can be wasted.

After flipping through several volumes in a row, Ens had no choice but to put the last magic book in his hand back on the shelf with a bored face. He made up his mind that if he was killed in the future, he would not learn these books full of theorems, formulas and data. something.

"The last one! Just forget it if you can't find it again..." After glancing back and forth on the bookshelf, Ensi still couldn't help his curiosity, and pulled out a large green-sealed magic book from the shelf. .

Maybe everyone has encountered it. After searching for some questions but not finding the answer, the original faint sense of curiosity gradually becomes stronger, making people feel uncomfortable if they are not solved. Ensi right now, obviously fell into this state inadvertently when he was extremely bored.

"'I am Sigismund Batch, the greatest pharmacist who ever lived'...Who is this Budge? How can he be so shameless?" As soon as he opened the book, Erns saw what was said in the preface The first sentence of the description, "Oh... here is the record of the Blessed Elixir!"

What he was holding in his hand at this moment was the famous "Book of Potions" in potions science. The wizard Zygmunt Batch, who lived in the 16th century, also attended Hogwarts, but later dropped out of school because he was not approved by the headmaster to participate in the Potions Tournament, and then moved to a small island alone to start his career. A lifetime of Potions research.

If I had to say it, his research results were not only numerous, but also had a great impact on modern potion science, and he really deserved the title of "Great Pharmacist". However, it is not worth advocating for a person to bury his head in research and end up leaving no heirs.

So much so that his book was not discovered until the middle of the 17th century by a wizard traveler who sailed to sea, and brought it back to his alma mater, Hogwarts.

"Felix Elixir, also known as the Lucky Potion, can bring unparalleled good luck to the user..."

Ensi read word by word silently, and gradually understood the difficulty of preparing this potion and its high value. Thinking of the box of Felix chocolate that Alexander said "whoever wants it", he couldn't help but feel a little itchy.

"Alexander! Come here...Hurry up!" He turned his head and waved to the other side. "Didn't you say in the morning that there is a box of chocolates in the common room of your college? Who took it?"

"No?" Alexander, who was lazily next to him, "What's the matter, do you want it? But I heard from the seniors that it seems to have some side effects..."

"Come here and take a look at this!" Ensi shook the thick book in his hand, "It doesn't say that there are any side effects... Besides, it takes half a year to refine the potion... Tsk tsk... …If you have the Felicity Elixir, those second-year or even third-year spells can be mastered!"

"I think it's better to forget it!" Alexander leaned over for a few glances, then waved his hands and said, "The kind of things of unknown origin, who knows if some senior played a prank? Even if it's for you... how dare you Do you want to eat?"

"If I want to eat it first, there's no way," Ensi said with a chuckle, "but you can let others try it first?"

"Hey!" Alexander immediately widened his eyes and said, "Remind you, I won't eat it!"

"It's not you—" Ensi curled his lips and said, "You know everything, can I still lie to you? Get it here for me first, I have a good idea..."

He walked to Alexander, and was about to whisper the little plan he had just thought up, but he heard footsteps suddenly coming from the direction of the library door.

"Someone is here, take the broom quickly..." Ensi waved his hand quickly, "I'll tell you later."

"Mr. Taon, Mr. Wolfe, it seems that you don't plan to reflect on the mistakes you made?"

The one who came was Professor McGonagall. As the current head of the school, she still cared so much about the students. No matter how busy she is, she never forgets to spare time to fulfill the responsibilities and obligations that a professor should have.

"Oh, no...Professor McGonagall, we..."

"We're just tired from cleaning, let's take a break."

Alexander and Ens successively tried to explain their laziness, but McGonagall would not believe their temporary excuses.

"Before dinner, you stay here!" Professor McGonagall walked straight to this side and said sternly, "When your Professor McLean was a student, he was also punished by me for violating school rules. "

"I still remember one of his words was very correct - 'Accepting punishment can set up a correct concept of doing things for other students'." She said, "I hope you can also be like him and set a good example for other students. Seriously complete this punishment."

It wasn't until Professor McGonagall was sent away that Erns and Alexander carried the broom and swept the floor helplessly.

"It's that McClane again..." Ens waved his broom wildly and muttered, "I think...how many times have I heard this name since I entered Hogwarts? I took his class!"

"I've heard it many times too," Alexander nodded, "but that can't be helped. Who made Professor McLean really good? And that's all because other people really admire him... Before coming to Hogwarts , he took me to buy all kinds of school supplies, he is actually a very easy-going person."

"...I also met him once before I came here," Ensi paused, "Forget it, it's his business that he is good, let's take care of ourselves first! Let's take care of these things first. I don't want to anymore... Come here, I will tell you about the plan just now..."

...

When the two freshmen who were not familiar with each other were doing some calculations in the library, Harry and the others were enjoying a wonderful free time in the Three Broomsticks bar in Hogsmeade.

The .Ls exam has been promoted to the sixth grade. Although the class is still very busy and busy, it is a little relieved when it is time to take a break.

As it happened, Harry and Ron were sipping butterbeer and talking casually about the box of chocolates they had left in the common room last night. Of course, Hermione must be unhappy, because she thinks Harry and the others shouldn't leave that thing to others.

"I'd say you should throw it in the trash!" She took a sip of her butterbeer too, then frowned. "I thought you'd do that, but you didn't…"

"That's a Felicity Elixir!" Ron spread his hands and said, "If it hadn't been mixed with chocolate by Slughorn, I would have sold it!"

"That can't—"

"Hermione," Harry interrupted suddenly, "on your lips... wipe it!"

"Oh……"

Hermione was taken aback for a moment, then looked at the rich foam in the glass, and then hurriedly wiped her mouth. As for the matter of Felicia Felicia, well... let's continue after wiping your mouth!

However, they were still discussing Felicity Chocolate, but they didn't know that an owl had already flown out of the window of the boys' dormitory in the Gryffindor tower at this moment, and landed firmly on a window sill.
