Harry Potter and the Old Ones

"Please continue." Investigator Tiera said gently, "After all, I am not an old witch like Dolores Umbridge. My purpose as an investigator is just to explore the past education methods and methods of Hogwarts. The loopholes and deficiencies in the knowledge system are institutional problems in the wizarding world over the past hundreds or thousands of years. They are not your problem alone. Please rest assured and don’t be nervous. This investigation will not have any impact on your personal reputation. , please continue teaching."

"Oh, oh... okay, okay..." Horace Slughorn silently wiped away the non-existent cold sweat, and then continued -

"Well...I, where did I talk...oh, right, right." Horace Slughorn gently patted his forehead and said, "Such a small bottle of Fuling potion, That's enough to last twelve hours of good luck. From dawn to dusk, everything you want to do will be lucky."

As he spoke, Horace Slughorn shook the bottle in his hand again.

"But at the same time, as a qualified teacher, I must warn you..." Horace Slughorn emphasized the word "qualified", "Fu Ling Potion is in every organized It is prohibited to use it during competitions...such as Quidditch sports events, exams, elections...so the winner can only use it on an ordinary day...and then wait for this ordinary day to become extraordinary!"

"Professor Slughorn!" Student Tiera raised her hand again.

"What's the matter, Tiera?" Horace Slughorn asked with a hint of helplessness in his voice.

"Then how do we detect it?" student Tiela asked, "Since its use is prohibited in major competitions, exams and elections, how do we detect whether Fuling Potion has been used?"

"Well... yes, there will be special spells and reagents... To be precise, before everyone participates in major competitions, there will be special people who will use this type of spells to prevent anyone from taking magic potions such as Fuling Potions. .”

"What about before the exam? What about during the election?" Tiera asked, "If someone only takes a drop of the potion during the exam or election that is only enough to last for an hour or even half an hour, then how can we detect it? "

"This... this..." Horace Slughorn stuttered a little, "There is really no good method in the exam... But if your eloquence is poor, but you are suddenly qualified for the election... afterwards It's easy to reveal the truth. After all, if this is really an important election, your competitors will soon notice that something is wrong with you during the election process. Even if they cannot detect it at the time of the election due to the influence of Fuling Potion, It will definitely be revealed in retrospect.”

"After all, as I said before, taking too much can lead to carelessness and dangerous overconfidence. Even when taking it for the first time, it can show characteristics of excitement, fanaticism, arrogance, and chatterbox. ." Horace Slughorn explained, and at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief. Tiera finally asked a question that students should ask, "This is easily seen through by shrewd wizards."

"In other words, Fuling Potion will have a very serious impact on the mood of the user?" student Tiera asked, "Will it only amplify emotions such as excitement, arrogance, and fanaticism? Or will it affect each of us? Unique emotional intensification and amplification?"

"I...I don't quite understand your question..." asked Horace Slughorn.

"For example, after taking Voldemort, he will become more cruel due to the influence of Fuling Potion, or a caring and caring person will become more caring after taking it? Or an irritable person will become more caring after taking it? Will it make you more irritable?" Tiera asked, "Or will everyone show the same fanatical mood after taking it?"

"Well..." Horace Slughorn said hesitantly, "Because so far there are too few recorded wizards who have taken the Fuling Potion, and the records in this regard are too vague... so I'm really sorry... I don’t know the answer to this question either.”

"Okay, thank you Professor Slughorn." Student Tiera said, and investigator Tiera started writing something in the notebook again.

"So, can Fuling Potion be used to fulfill prophecies?" student Tiera asked again.

"Wha...what?" Horace Slughorn was shocked.

"I mean... can Fuling Potion be used to fulfill prophecies in advance?" Tiera said, "For example, Harry."

"Huh? What?" Harry was also shocked and didn't understand why Tiera suddenly called him.

"For example, according to that famous prophecy..." Tiera said slowly in a solemn and deep voice, "A person with the energy to conquer the Dark Lord is approaching... Born in a country that has defeated the Dark Lord three times. of the family... born in the seventh month... the Dark Lord marks him as his archenemy... but he possesses powers that the Dark Lord does not understand... one must die at the hand of the other, for both cannot live , only one can survive...the one with the energy to conquer the Dark Lord will be born at the end of the seventh month..."

"According to the prophecy, Harry will definitely defeat Voldemort." Tiera said, "But obviously, Harry's current strength cannot match Voldemort at all."

"But what if Harry drinks the Fuling Potion and then faces Voldemort?" Tiera asked, "So now Harry can kill Voldemort immediately?"

"Ah...this...this...this..." Horace Slughorn began to stutter again.

Even Harry, who was standing next to Tiera, was so shocked that his eyes widened and he looked at Tiera blankly.

"Or we can change our thinking..." Tiera asked, "How come the Fuling Potion was drunk by Voldemort?"

"Can Voldemort use the effect of Fuling Potion, please prophesy?" Tiera asked a question again.

"Although it stands to reason that the things in the prophecy will definitely happen... But even so, the prophecy only belongs to the future after all." Tiera said, "But now there are too many factors that affect the future. Whether Fuling Potion has that kind of A force powerful enough to affect the law of cause and effect, can have an impact on the entire future tributaries?”

"This...this...this..." Horace Slughorn wiped the real cold sweat on his forehead, "I don't know..."

"Theoretically speaking, within the twelve hours after taking the Fuling Potion, you can make your wishes come true and achieve anything, but...but the prophecy will definitely happen...this...this...this... stammered Horace Slughorn, not knowing how to explain.

"This creates a paradox, doesn't it?" Tiera finished speaking for Horace Slughorn, "This is very interesting."
