Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 213 Shocked

  At this moment, Filch carried an oil lamp and walked on the corridor leading to the underground of the castle. Not long ago, a strange-sounding cry came from below the castle. He didn't know what the cry was, but the intuition of the administrator for many years told Filch that something must have happened.

   "Who's there? Stop, I see you." Filch suddenly shouted, speeding up his pace and chasing forward.

After some chasing, Filch finally blocked the student at the corner. He held up the oil lamp out of breath, and his eyes fell on the uneasy face of a student. There was a malicious smile on the corner of his mouth. In front of him was a A student of Slytherin.

   As the saying goes, curiosity killed the cat, and it’s true.

This Slytherin student was also unlucky. He heard the cry of the mandrake just now, so he sneaked out of the common room, trying to find out the source of the sound, but he just walked out of the Slytherin common room. Lounge, let Filch get caught.

   "Tell me, did you make that weird cry just now?" Filch asked sternly, his mood suddenly turned cloudy.

   "No, I just heard that voice..." the student explained with a mournful face.

"Don't try to escape, come with me." Filch took the student to knock on Snape's office, but Snape has been stunned by Albert with the mandrake, so it is naturally impossible Get up and open the door.

  After knocking on the door to no avail, Filch could only take the student to find Vice-Principal Professor McGonagall.

  Professor McGonagall, wearing a cloak, opened the door and looked at Filch, then shifted his gaze to the restless Slytherin student, and asked, "Argus, what's going on here."

   "I suspect he was the one who made the noise just now." Filch softly talked about what happened just now.

   "This matter has nothing to do with me." The Slytherin student said quickly.

   "What's going on?" Professor McGonagall frowned slightly, his eyes gradually becoming severe.

  The Slytherin student swallowed, recalling what he knew.

The cries of the mandrake didn't travel too far, only a few Slytherin students and Filch who hadn't fallen asleep heard it, and the one caught by Filch came out to figure out how to cry. What's the matter with the sound.

   Then, he was out of luck.

   While Professor McGonagall was severely deducting Slytherin House marks, Albert was also talking to his roommates about what happened in Snape's office just now.

   "You actually..." The three heard that Albert used the Mandrake to stun Snape, and they all stared dumbfounded at the roommate who had just lifted the Disillusionment Curse.

   Then he muttered resentfully: "Damn it, you didn't bring us along with such an interesting thing."

"Isn't this convenient?" Albert covered his yawn and said with a smile, "I've already got the Niwen snake eggs. As for the dragon claw powder, I will write to the pharmacy in Diagon Alley tomorrow to buy it. Snape Surely you can't guess that we are going to configure Buffy Brain Refreshing Potion."

   "However, it's such a pity!" Fred said with a look of regret, and at the same time admired Albert's courage. He actually dared to make Snape faint.

   "Say, what will happen to Snape when he wakes up tomorrow?" George lay back on the bed and asked in a strange tone.

   "Of course I thought I had a nightmare." Albert said without thinking, "Okay, go to bed early, and don't be late tomorrow morning."

  Although they said so, Fred and the others were too excited to fall asleep. There was no way, no one would feel sleepy after hearing such news.

  Albert didn't care whether Fred slept or not. He closed his eyes and began to receive the task reward for getting to know the Mandrake for the first time.

The so-called basic knowledge of Mandrake is really similar to what Albert guessed. It is the knowledge of Mandrake, but the scope of this knowledge is very wide. If you want to write a paper on Mandrake, you can probably Written in a book as thick as a brick.

   Albert slowly flipped through the so-called attempts he had obtained, and was really taken aback.

  Mandrake is one of the raw materials of the elixir of life.

  Mandrake roots can be brewed into wine through some special means. This wine is good for fertility and has a certain aphrodisiac effect.

  In fact, the mandrake root is also one of the raw materials of the love potion.

  The most astonishing thing is that Albert still found its formula in his memory, whether it was the elixir of life or the Mandrake root wine.

  However, the most shocking thing is not only these, the mandrake root can also be turned into a potion that delays aging through complex potion technology.

  If the mature mandrake roots are dried and carved, they can be made into various very precious amulets, which can resist diseases, protect against black magic, and ensure female conception.

  If the dried mandrake root is carved into a human shape, it can also be used for divination.

  By the way, Mandrake root is also a raw material for flying ointment.

Albert was stunned by the so-called basic common sense of Mandrake. This part of knowledge simply analyzed the various scratching operations of Mandrake in all aspects. Whether it is grass or roots, its There are at least one hundred kinds of uses, as raw materials for various alchemy and potions.

   Of course, in addition to this, it can also be made into black magic items.

  If a mandrake is grown in salt for three months, it becomes a dangerous dark magic item.

Well, according to Albert's own understanding, the Mandrake will never die. After being pickled in salt for three months, the hatred will remain on the pickled Mandrake. When you get it out of the salt, Mandela Pulling the grass will become extremely deadly, and its cry will make all the surrounding creatures be cursed and fainted, and may even die, and the salt that buried the Mandrake in the past will become the best way to lift the curse.

   "This... this is really great!" Albert murmured excitedly. He has already realized that he may not be able to return the pot of Mandrakes, and he may need to plant a large number of Mandrakes in the future. Of course, Albert is not worried about the method of planting, because the basic knowledge of Mandrakes also has The best way to grow, much better than Pomona Sprout.

   "What's so great?" A voice suddenly asked from the side.

   "Felix Elixir." Albert said happily: "The effect of the medicine is really great. I will definitely learn how to configure Felicia Elixir."

   "Could it be that you plan to drink every day?"

   "Drink some Felicia if everything goes wrong." Albert said with a smile. "Although drinking too much can make people arrogant, there is no denying that with a small amount, everything will be perfect."
