harry potter book of crimes

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

There was basically no one in the library on Saturdays, especially during the period after lunch. The place was even more deserted. But at this moment, Enns and Alexander had to take cleaning tools and helplessly clear the large number of bookshelves.

Wandering in between.

Regarding Enns's complaints, Alexander was indeed a little speechless.

"How could I have known that Professor Hagrid would see me when I was walking along the lake..." He kept sweeping the broom, his voice sounding rather feeble.

Yes, it was Hagrid who suddenly appeared among the trees. When Hagrid discovered that Enns was under a curse, he took him to the school hospital regardless of whether Enns was happy or not. After that, things were simple.

Well, when Professor McGonagall figured out what happened, both of them were thrown into the library to receive punishment.

Like going to the trophy room to clean trophies, going to the library to clean up the dust is also a relatively common punishment. In fact, except for serious mistakes, the punishments are quite light.

But for a student, the precious free time on rest days just passes away while cleaning, which is extremely painful.

"Quit!"

After a few more casual sweeps, Enns simply threw the broom on the ground and leaned against the window with a look of impatience on his face.

"Alexander, I'll leave my share to you——"

"Eh? Hey!" Alexander said depressedly, "It's not because you made the first move! Professor McGonagall said so - Hey! How long will it take for me to go there alone!"

"Who cares about you..."

Ens curled his lips and scanned the bookshelf casually, intending to find a book to read.

Just by casually looking at the title of the book, 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. When he mentioned Potions, he suddenly remembered what Alexander had said earlier in the morning.

That "Elixir Chocolate" I used to have.

"Felicity Potion? What does it do?" Enns thought as he pulled out a book from the bookshelf and flipped through it. "Gebalot proposed that the antidote to mixed poisons is greater than the antidote to each individual component.

The total... what is this?"

Although he wanted to find an analysis of the effects of the Spiritual Elixir, after flipping through a few books, he felt that his head was about to explode. If the books published in recent times were better, at least some of them

There is a catalog or something, but if it is older, there are only various manuscript books with no typesetting at all. Just identifying those scrawled handwritings can waste a lot of time.

After flipping through several volumes in a row, Enns had no choice but to put the last magic book in his hand back on the bookshelf with a bored look on his face. He made up his mind that he would never learn these theorems, formulas and data everywhere in the future.

Something.

"The last one! Forget it if you can't find it again..." After glancing back and forth on the bookshelf a few times, Enns couldn't help but feel curious and pulled out a large green-sealed magic book from the bookshelf.

.

Maybe everyone has encountered it. After searching for some problems but not finding the answer, the original faint sense of curiosity gradually became stronger, making people feel uncomfortable unless they were solved. At the moment, Enns,

Obviously, when I was extremely bored, I accidentally fell into this state.

"'I am Zygmunt Bache, the greatest pharmacist in history'...Who is this Bache? How can he be so shameless?" As soon as he opened the book, Enns saw what he said in the preface.

The first sentence of the story is, "Oh...here is the record of the blessed elixir!"

What he was holding in his hand at this time was the famous "Book of Potions" in potions. The wizard Zygmunt Batch who lived in the 16th century also attended Hogwarts, but later died because of

He voluntarily dropped out of school because he was not allowed to participate in the Potions Championship by the principal, and then moved to a small island alone to start his lifelong research life in Potions.

If anything, his research results are not only numerous, but also have a great impact on modern potion science. He is indeed worthy of the title of "Great Pharmacist". However, if one person immerses himself in research, his descendants will also suffer.

This has not been left out, but it is not worth promoting.

It was not until the middle of the 17th century that his book was discovered by a wizard traveling on a voyage and brought back to his alma mater, Hogwarts.

"Fortune Elixir, also known as Lucky Potion, can bring unparalleled good luck to those who take it..."

Enns read silently word by word, gradually understanding the difficulty of preparing this potion and its high value. Then he thought of the box of Fuling that Alexander said "whoever wants it can take it."

After drinking chocolate, 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 this morning that there was a box of chocolates in the common room of your college? Who took it away?"

"No?" Alexander, who was lazing around next to him, said, "What's wrong, you want it? But I heard from the seniors that that thing seems to have some side effects..."

"Come here and take a look at this!" Enns shook the thick book in his hand, "It doesn't say there are any side effects... Moreover, it takes half a year to refine the magic potion... tsk tsk...

...With the Blessing Elixir, those second-year or even third-year magic spells can definitely be mastered!"

"I think it's better to forget it!" Alexander came over to take a look, then waved his hand and said, "Things with unknown origins, who knows if it was a prank by some senior? Even if I give it to you... you dare

Do you want to eat?”

"If you want me to eat it first, there's no way," Enns said with a smile, "But can we let others try it first?"

"Hey!" Alexander immediately opened his eyes and said, "Let me remind you, I don't want to eat!"

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

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

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

"Mr. Tavon, Mr. Wolfe, it seems that you have no intention of reflecting on the mistakes you have made?"

The visitor is Professor McGonagall. As the current president of a school, she still cares so much about her students. No matter how busy she is, she never forgets to take time to fulfill the responsibilities and obligations of a professor.

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

"We are just tired of cleaning and need to take a short rest."

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

"You can stay here until dinner!" Professor McGonagall walked straight over and said sternly, "When your Professor MacLean was still a student, he was also punished by me for violating school rules.

"

"I still remember one of his words that was very correct - 'Accepting punishment can set a correct philosophy for other students to do things'." She said, "I hope you can be like him and set a good example for other students.

Complete this punishment seriously."

It wasn't until Professor McGonagall was sent away that Enns and Alexander took the brooms and swept the floor helplessly.

"It's that MacLean again..." Enns muttered, waving the broom wildly, "Let me think about it...how many times have I heard this name since I entered Hogwarts? Obviously I haven't even heard it yet.

I’ve taken his class!”

"I've heard it many times," Alexander nodded, "but there's nothing you can do about it. Who makes Professor MacLean really awesome? And that's just because other people really admire him... Before coming to Hogwarts

, he was the one who took me to buy various school supplies. He is actually a very easy-going person."

"...I also met him once before coming here," Enns paused in his movements, "Forget it, it's his fault that he's awesome, let's take care of ourselves first! Let's put these things first.

I don’t want to think about it anymore... Come here, I will explain to you the plan just now..."

…

While the two freshmen, who were relatively new to each other, were making small plans in the library, Harry and the others were enjoying a wonderful free time in the Three Broomsticks pub in Hogsmeade.

Now that I have passed the O.W.Ls exam and advanced to sixth grade, although the courses are still very stressful and make me busy, I can relax a little when it's time to take a break.

It happened that Harry and Ron were drinking butterbeer while casually talking about the box of chocolates they left in the common room last night. Of course, Hermione was definitely not happy because she thought Harry and the others were

You shouldn't leave that stuff to others.

"I say, you should throw it in the trash can!" She also took a sip of butterbeer, then frowned and said, "I thought you would do that, but you didn't..."

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

"That can't be—"

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

"oh……"

Hermione was stunned, then looked at the rich foam in the cup, and then hurriedly wiped her mouth. As for the elixir, well... let's continue talking after wiping her mouth!

However, while they were still discussing the Elixir Chocolate, they didn't know that an owl had already flown to the window of the boys' dormitory in Gryffindor Tower at this moment, and landed steadily on a window ledge.
