Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

Chapter 120 Strange Potion (Page 12)



Neville cried and fell into the common room, still holding the motionless Lyford in his arms, the surprisingly large toad that looked like it was about to die.

No one could guess how he got out of the portrait hole, because his legs were tightly glued together.

Harry and the others could tell at a glance that they were under a leg-locking spell. He must have hopped like a rabbit all the way up the stairs and into Gryffindor Tower.

Bourne hurriedly walked over and lifted the curse on Neville. Neville's legs suddenly spread apart. He stood up, shaking all over, with tears in his eyes.

"What's going on?" Bourne brought him over and sat down with Harry and Ron.

"It's Theodore Nott and Blaise Zabini," Neville said with a trembling voice. "Leif was lost again today. I looked for him everywhere, and then I saw them in the Potions classroom. Someone fed Leif some magic potions. I went up to stop them, but I didn’t stop them and even got cursed.”

Perhaps it was because of Bourne's variable. In addition to laughing at Neville's timidity during the beginning of school, later due to the "cabbage biting incident" (during the first flying lesson) Neville's pet Leif saved him once from the mouth of cabbage. , so Draco and his two little followers didn't deliberately target Neville.

The proud Malfoy even gave Neville a magic pet cage with a constant temperature function for Christmas in order not to owe any favors - it could not only prevent Neville's Leif from getting lost, but also make him more comfortable. To survive the cold winter - this is a new product launched by the "Smart Man" magic supplies store in Diagon Alley this year, and the pricing is naturally not very friendly. (Note 1)

"Go to Professor McGonagall and sue them severely!" Hermione jumped up from her chair angrily, and the jealous little witch shouted loudly.

Neville shook his head.

"I don't want any more trouble," he muttered vaguely.

Ron was also angry, both at the bullying Slytherin jerk and to a small extent at Neville, who seemed a bit cowardly.

"You have to deal with them bravely, Neville! Those two people behaved worse than Malfoy." Ron said, "There is no reason for you to succumb to them. We are all your roommates and we will all support you. If you want Challenge them to a showdown, and you can call me and Harry during the duel."

Perhaps realizing that he was making a decision for someone else by saying this, Ron glanced at his friend.

However, Harry didn't seem to think that what Ron said was inappropriate. He even clenched his fist and waved it. "Ron is right!" he said, adding at the same time: "If they also call people, we can also call Bourne, Finnigan, and even Ron's two twin brothers!"

It was originally 2V2, but after Harry said this, the situation suddenly became 5V5.

The whole army is on the attack.

Considering the Weasley twins' ability to cause trouble, it is not impossible that once they join, it will eventually turn into a scuffle between the two houses of Gryffindor and Slytherin.

Bourne doesn't like the little wizards to fight against each other in the academy. After all, Grandpa Horace is the former dean of Slytherin, but he doesn't like campus bullying even more.

"Don't worry, Neville, our friend. No matter what your ideas are, we will support you." Bourne clearly stated his attitude.

"Then you can help me see what's wrong with Leif first?" After saying this, the chubby little wizard with a round face pushed his beloved pet in front of everyone. "Although he doesn't really recognize me as his master and occasionally likes to play and disappear, Leif is still a good toad."

Harry and Ron couldn't help but stiffen at the same time, grinning unconsciously, while Hermione, the little witch, sat up straighter unable to accept it.

The former is because I dealt with too many long-horned toads during the Christmas holiday, and I had a "stress reaction" when I saw a toad; while the latter is purely due to the nature of girls. Very few girls like toads, even if they have heard of "turn into a toad" Neither does the story of "The Prince".

At this time, we still have to look at Bourne:

On the one hand, it is because his psychological acceptance threshold is very high, so as long as they are not heretics and alien gadgets, ordinary and strange creatures cannot cause him any negative psychological reactions.

(In fact, not to mention being a qualified Space Marine, even some "ordinary people" in the Warhammer world - for example, men who have experienced in the Catachan jungle - can actually develop through training A similar strong heart.

After all, no matter how weird the creatures are, they can only be divided into three types: those that can eat people, those that can be eaten by people, or the intersection of the two.

The root of human fear is, in all likelihood, fear of the unknown. Many times, it is not even necessary to completely solve the unknown mysteries. Once the brain can find a reasonable explanation, many human fears will be solved. )

On the other hand, Neville said that the reason why Leif became half-dead was because he drank the potion brewed by the little wizard.

At this time, among the people in the Gryffindor common room, Bourne had the absolute say in potions.

Even Hermione couldn't deny this.

After all, among the first-year Gryffindor wizards, only Burn had ever received marks in Snape's Potions class - this was simply unbelievable!

However, when Bourne carefully inspected Leif's condition, opened its mouth, took out some saliva, and used the "Scapin Revealing Charm" taught to him by Horace to check the remaining potion ingredients, Bourne was also confused.

"It shouldn't be like this?" Bourne thought, and at the same time once again thought about the ingredients of the potion that just flashed like a flash of light.

He originally thought that what the two little wizards of Slytherin poured into Leif was the "Water of Life and Death" or a "mitigator" (Note 2), but when the "Scapin Revealing Curse" took effect, it appeared The magic image is not valerian root or sleepy beans, or moonstone powder and hellebore syrup.

"What kind of tricks are those two doing?" Byrne frowned and looked at Leif, who had his eyes closed and his limbs limp. He folded his hands into a tower to support his chin, "The wings of the Billywig, Cryptonite's hair, horseradish powder, fire-ash snake eggs, pearl powder, scarab beetles, ginger root, armadillo bile..."

Although these are relatively common materials that can be used to brew some not-so-complex potions, these ingredients are too many for basic potions - you have to find a reasonable one. explanation, this is actually equivalent to mixing several magic potions together and brewing them.

The wings of the billywig, the hair of the thorn, and horseradish powder are the core of the "laughing potion"; while pearl powder, scarab beetles, ginger root, and armadillo bile are included in the "shrinking potion" Some of the auxiliary ingredients; ginger root, pearl powder, and wings of the Billywig bug are all the ingredients of the "beauty potion".

"Is it possible that those two people wanted to deliberately bully Neville, so they captured Leif and used it as a trash can for them to dispose of the potion waste?"

However, Byrne immediately dismissed this speculation.

Because no matter how basic the potion is, the little wizard who is still studying at Hogwarts is not a potion master like Horace (Bourne saw it on Christmas Eve. Relying on the cooperation of the magic spell, Horace became a master of potions. He prepared a truth serum in less than two minutes), "Laughter Potion", "Shrinking Potion", "Beauty Potion", any of these magic potions, at least you have to brew one. Only hours will do.
