Admiral of Hogwarts

The Viscount's Blue and White Porcelain reminds you: please collect it after reading it (), it will be more convenient to read it again.

Soon, the situation here attracted the attention of the school staff. After Filch arrived, the situation quickly became unmanageable.

Especially after seeing that his cat's life and death were unknown, Filch suddenly exploded. He cried loudly and accused Harry of killing his cat.

Fortunately, President Dumbledore and other professors rushed over soon, untied the cat from the shelf, evacuated the students watching here, and then took Harry, the two of them and the professors there. Lockhart's office.

After the professors left, the students suddenly resumed their original bustle, but the topics of discussion were all focused on topics such as secret rooms or monsters.

"There was obviously no water in the corridor today, how did the cat escape death?" Veneto asked Hugo with some confusion through the Admiral's network.

Because cats rarely raise their heads and look up when walking, it is very reasonable that Mrs. Lorris did not see the eyes of the basilisk and died suddenly on the spot.

But because there was no water on the floor this year, Veneto was indeed a little curious about how the cat was petrified.

"Armor - it should be armor." Hugo said to Veneto after carefully recalling the situation in the corridor.

"There are several armors placed in the corridor, and each armor has been polished brightly because of the festival. So I think the cat was probably petrified after looking at the reflection on the armor."

"What you said makes sense." Veneto said in agreement after quickly restoring the image of the corridor in his mind.

Because she soon realized that there were indeed a row of armors placed on both sides of the corridor, and those armors were polished and sparkled like mirrors, reflecting the dangerous gaze of the basilisk.

After discussing these topics, Hugo and Veneto immediately connected their consciousness to the Admiral Network. Then he observed the current situation in Lockhart's office through the eyes of the company.

"—it must have been killed by a spell—probably the Transformation Torture Charm. I've seen people use this spell many times. It's a pity that I wasn't there at the time. I happened to know the solution to the curse, which could have saved the life. its…"

After entering the company's line of sight, Hugo first saw Lockhart standing there talking nonsense, as if he could deal with the basilisk.

At the table in the office, Dumbledore carefully examined the petrified cat with his wand.

"It's not dead, it's just petrified." Soon, Dumbledore straightened up and interrupted Lockhart's incessant chatter. "But I don't know exactly how it was petrified."

"Wasn't Weeping Myrtle killed by the Basilisk?" Veneto asked with some confusion at this time.

"So Professor Dumbledore should have seen people who were attacked by a basilisk, so why didn't he think that the attack was caused by a basilisk at this time?"

"Because Weeping Myrtle died last time, and this time the cat was just petrified." Hugo answered after hearing Veneto's question.

"After all, basilisks are too rare, so even Professor Dumbledore probably has never seen a person or animal that was told the truth by a basilisk."

"This does make sense, and I think this kind of petrification is probably a general magical effect rather than a special magical effect." After Hugo finished explaining, Veneto immediately thought of some details in the original text.

"So the petrification of these people can be lifted by a universal potion like mandrake."

By the time Hugo and Veneto had finished chatting and were refocusing on the corporate perspective, Filch had concluded his case against Harry.

It's just that except for Snape who wanted to punish Harry because of his prejudice against Harry, no one else thought that little wizards like Harry and Ron could petrify a cat to this extent, and they also rejected Professor Snape's decision. Wanting to punish Harry.

"We can cure it, Filch." After finding out that no one would be punished for this incident, Filch became uncontrollably furious. Professor Dumbledore had to quickly comfort the school janitor. "Mrs. Sprout recently obtained some mandrakes. Once they grow to maturity, I have a potion that will bring Mrs. Norris back to life."

"Why don't we buy a petrification-removing potion in the market?" Lockhart was about to show off something at this time, but his words were intercepted by the company before he could say anything. "After all, it takes more than half a year to wait for the mandrake to mature. It is really too long."

"Miss Halsey, I think as a former Auror, your grades in Herbology and Potions classes should be good." Snape said coldly.

"So theoretically, you must know that only mandrakes that are picked within 48 hours can make petrification-removing potions. But because mandrake is the main ingredient of many potions, and the scope of application of petrification-removing potions is It’s really too narrow, so it’s basically impossible to buy petrification-removing potions on the market.”

"You are right, Mr. Snape." Enterprise nodded and then said. "But what you are talking about probably means that this powerful petrification-removing potion cannot be purchased in the regular magic market in the UK. However, I now know that there are several channels where you can buy this powerful petrification-removing potion."

What the company says is not a lie. With the help of the British, American and Soviet ship girls, Hugo and the others have now initially established a logistics system spanning Europe and the United States.

Of course, the materials flowing in this logistics system may not comply with the wizarding laws of some countries, but it allows Hugo and the others to collect various magical materials that are difficult for ordinary people to obtain.

Although powerful petrochemical-removing potions based on mandrake are very rare, for this transnational logistics system, it is not very difficult to collect three to five bottles in a week.

This is why companies dare to get this precious medicine in front of a group of professors and principals.

"How much does it cost to buy a bottle?" After the company finished speaking, Professor Dumbledore asked directly. He was not surprised why companies have such channels. After all, Aurors always have some special channels that are not available on the table to obtain information or materials.

At the same time, Filch also looked at the company with a hopeful look. "120~130 galleons." The company reported a number and explained at the same time.

"Of course, this price is basically three times the price of this medicine under normal circumstances. But you should also be aware of this type of channel-"

"Understood, Miss Halsey." Dumbledore raised his right hand to indicate that he knew what the company was talking about, and then looked at Filch apologetically.

"I'm sorry, Filch, but I think your cat may have to wait a while before it can be unpetrified, as I'm having a hard time convincing the board to pay for it."

It makes sense for Professor Dumbledore to say this. After all, if the school's mandrakes are used to brew potions, both the consumables and labor costs have been included in this year's school budget, but if you want to purchase these additional If you grow potions, you must apply to the board of directors for payment.
