Sigrid, who took the initiative to apply to become Professor Snape's assistant, finally had the opportunity to enter the dean's office at 8 o'clock on Wednesday night. I wonder if she can successfully help the twins get back the Marauder's Map.

Sigrid put her hand on the door knocker anxiously, but before she could knock on the door, it was already cracked open.

"Come in, Stuart!" Professor Snape focused on the crucible that was emitting light yellow steam without raising his head.

Sigrid lowered her head guiltily to say hello to the professor, then tensed her body and went to the console prepared for her.

"Yes," Professor Snape responded in a low voice, gesturing for her to wait a moment with his hand.

Sigrid secretly looked at the dim walls around her. There were many large glass jars on the rows of high shelves along the wall. There were various potion ingredients floating in the jars that she couldn't even name.

She murmured in her mind that the Marauder's Map shouldn't be on the shelf...

Then he looked at the desk in front of him. There was a row of homework books handed in by all ages, with several textbooks, quills and ink placed in the middle.

She thought uncertainly that the Marauder's Map should be kept in a drawer...

Just as she was about to turn her gaze to the workbench opposite where the potion was being brewed, Professor Snape, who was looking at the cauldron seriously, suddenly raised his head.

Seeing the dean's sharp eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything, she felt guilty and wanted to put her hands on her sides on the work table, but accidentally hit the corner of the table with a bang.

Snape narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the clumsy student across from him, wondering again if he had made a mistake in letting her take over.

"I'm sorry, Professor" Sigrid endured the pain and apologized for her rudeness.

"Today's task is to grind bezoar and aconitum in a ratio of 2:1. One portion is 30g-35g. I need many, many portions," Professor Snape ordered in a low voice.

"Okay, Professor." Sigrid nodded obediently in agreement, and quickly began to weigh the small mountains of bezoars piled on the table, and began to handle them seriously.

Two hours passed before I knew it.

"Miss Stewart, you can go back tonight after you finish this job!" Snape's voice interrupted Sigrid's concentration.

When Sigrid looked up, Professor Snape had buried his head in the pile of students' homework again.

"Okay, Professor!" Sigrid completed 17 copies in one night, taking an average of 6 to 8 minutes to complete one copy.

"Professor, I'm leaving first." After finishing the 18th piece of material in her hand, Sigrid breathed a sigh of relief and said goodbye to the professor.

"You can come over these days when there are no classes in the evenings. I urgently need these materials." Professor Snape only spoke when she was about to leave the office.

Sigrid responded and went out. She couldn't help but wonder in her heart. Bezoar and Aconitum are both detoxification materials. What is the dean doing with so many preparations?

As for the Marauder's Map, Professor Snape stayed in the office all night, so Sigrid could only hope for next time.

She continued to help grind aconite and bezoar in the office on Thursday and Friday nights, and was able to complete 23 portions in one night.

Fred was also busy with Quidditch practice and the increasing workload of fifth year, and they never practiced the Patronus Charm together anymore, let alone dated.

Saturday was a rare world for Fred and Sigrid. They met in classroom 20.

"I haven't had a chance to find the Marauder's Map yet," Sigrid said frustratedly. It was too exciting and shameful for her to do this secretly, but the Marauder's Map was very important to the twins, and she couldn't remain indifferent.

"It's okay." Fred concealed his disappointment, took Sigrid's finger and put it in his hand to comfort her. They had already made psychological preparations for losing the Marauder's Map.

"Here, try our new product." Fred took out a roll of parchment tied with a golden ribbon and a bow from his pocket.

"As I told you before, a cooperative project!" Fred explained with a wink, apparently very satisfied with the results.

"Parchment?" Sigrid opened the bow with curiosity, and there was a quill wrapped in the blank parchment.

"No, it's the 'Little Wizard Forum'. I'll teach you." Fred sat closely next to the little witch and put the quill into her hand.

"Fill in your name here, and I suggest you fill in a nickname." Fred put his arm around her shoulders and pointed his other hand toward the first wavy line in the middle of the parchment.

"Can't you change your name?" Sigrid interrupted and asked.

"Yes! But you have to spend money. Of course my little snake can use it for free!" Fred looked away from the little witch's lips and smiled silly at her.

"Funny words," the little witch muttered unappreciatively.

Sigrid thought about the things she was particularly greedy for but dared not eat these days, and casually wrote down "A magical girl who eats pudding"

"Is it okay?" Sigrid turned back to ask Fred's opinion.

"Of course - of course" Fred was too embarrassed to stare at her lips anymore, touched her curly hair and continued to ask her to fill in the second horizontal line. "This is different, click on the little triangle next to it"

Sigrid followed Fred's instructions and pulled out five lines of options on the parchment "Red Lion" "Yellow Badger" "Blue Eagle" "Green Snake" "Faceless Man"

Sigrid understood the first four at a glance. She tapped the last one with her quill and looked at her boyfriend with questioning eyes.

"I just don't want to show my college," Fred explained in a low voice. "Miss Hall insisted on adding a group, saying that some young wizards would feel more comfortable hiding their identities."

"I belong to Slytherin, I have nothing to hide." Sigrid chose "Green Snake" without hesitation.

A green pattern emerged on the parchment, and the two horizontal lines gradually blurred. The name written with the quill began to jump, and finally appeared in the middle of the green pattern: "Welcome "Green Snake" and "Pudding-Eating Magical Girl" to the Little Wizard Forum"

There were two blinking boxes below: "I want to enter" and "Enter later". Sigrid clicked on the first option with her quill without Fred prompting her.

The parchment screen turned, and the most conspicuous place was its name "Little Wizard Forum" and a blank search box. The number of people online was marked in the upper left corner: 8 people. A flashing check-in box was marked in the upper right corner. Users were marked: "Green Snake" "Magical Girl Who Eats Pudding" Level: 1 Follow: 0 Followers: 0 Popularity Ranking: The follow function has not been enabled yet

Directly below is a row of flashing smaller icons: "Must-see for new wizards", "Hogwarts Information Station", "Question Room", "Life Sharing Station", "OWLS Candidate Exchange Area", "Gossip Breaking Area"

Sigrid already understood a little bit, as long as the quill can click on any place that flashes, write on anything with a frame, and select anything with a black triangle on the right.

Fred briefly introduced the forum layout, and Sigrid also roughly understood that little wizards can choose the forum to watch, speak, communicate, and share. The most popular posts in each forum will appear on the homepage, and other posts will appear on the homepage. Posts can only be found by clicking on the page number below or the search box on the homepage.

There are currently only four posts on the homepage, which are the "Irrigation Exchange Area" of the four colleges.

"This is really a big project!" Sigrid couldn't help but sigh after hearing Fred's introduction.

Fred couldn't help but feel sad that they had been working on it for a whole year, seduced by Lindsay Hall's golden galleon stick.

"I have to say that Miss Hall has a real money-making mind. She provided all the ideas for this forum. George and I were responsible for making her ideas out with parchment paper and quills." Fred introduced them to her with excitement. Hall learned about the collaboration.

"Oh, what else?" Sigrid suddenly lost interest in the forum when she heard Fred chanting the names of other witches over and over again. She folded her arms and leaned forward and casually shook the arm on her shoulder. open.

Unfortunately, Fred next to him didn't notice his girlfriend's emotional change. After being thrown away, he just stared blankly for a moment and then naturally sat on Sigrid's seat.

"Thanks to Miss Hall for her generosity, she promised to give us a 35% commission!" Fred approached her with bright eyes to share this matter that had excited the twins for a week.

"Does it have anything to do with me?" Sigrid sneered, throwing Fred a slap on the back of the head.

Fred leaned forward, holding his girlfriend's face in his hands as she turned to him, who was not paying attention to what he was saying, and said word by word, "Of course it does matter, I will make money to support you in the future!"

Fred looked at her seriously, with a look of longing on his face, "I want to earn money to buy clothes, shoes, and nails for my little snake, and I have to go to Serbia to watch "Zhizhi"."

"It's not rare!" Sigrid, who was coaxed by Fred's words, awkwardly pulled down the big hand holding her cheek.

Seeing Fred still staring at her with a smile, Sigrid quickly changed the subject like a frightened little white rabbit, "How do you manage the forum? How do you make money?"

Seeing Sigrid's tense expression, Fred could only suppress his desire to kiss her and become serious again.

"There are administrators. Their work is similar to Filch's. If any young wizard posts inappropriate comments, they will delete or warn them. The specific rules are in the 'Newcomers' section.'" Fred responded to Sigrid's doubts. An answer: "As for making money, of course we need to buy our parchment and special quills. We have to provide a fee of 1 gold galleon every month. George and I can get a commission of 6 sickles."

"Does Principal Dumbledore know?" Sigrid could already foresee that the forum would become as much a part of the life of young wizards at Hogwarts as the school newspaper.

"Of course! The principal has only one request, and it cannot affect the schedule of all students in the school." Lindsay Hall had received the principal's permission last year.

Professor Dumbledore is very supportive of the establishment of the forum. He feels that it can make the young wizards of Hogwarts have a greater sense of belonging to the school, eliminate differences in the school and make everyone more united. They even promised to give them the "Hogwarts Special Contribution Award" if the forum achieved the desired results.

"So the forum is only open from 6pm to 10pm from Monday to Friday, and from 10am to 12pm on weekends!" Fred and Sigrid explained patiently.

The two chatted around the forum for 2 hours, and reluctantly parted ways as the curfew approached.

According to Fred, there are still many features of the forum that have not yet been perfected, and they both have to continue to work for Miss Hall.

It will be promoted in the headlines of the school newspaper at the end of this month, and the forum they have worked hard on for a year will be officially launched!

Fred spent the whole day training with the Quidditch team on Sunday, while Sigrid stayed alone in Classroom 20 and continued to brew her own beauty potion.

She has no shortage of elementary potions now, and she has plenty of them brought over during the summer vacation. She has tried the intermediate potions Gu Panshenghui, Slim Hands, and Fresh Smell one by one. Currently, she is very satisfied with making Slim Hands and Gu Pansheng. Hui is more confident.

What she wanted to do today was "Slim Hands". She concluded that the failure last time was due to the wrong way of handling the albizia flower petals, so the overflowing fragrance and juice could not meet the requirements. She had already received advice from Dean Snape on how to handle the albizia flower petals. A little trick, hope you succeed today.

Sigrid carefully cut the Albizia Julibrissin petals at a 40° angle with a short knife. After judging from the smell and juice, they were poured into a crucible and stirred clockwise. When the color turned light yellow, add the peel and peel of the vanilla that had been processed in advance. Continue to stir the unicorn hair until it becomes a light cyan consistency.

Success! Sigrid looked at the potion in the crucible, her tense little face finally relaxed, and she breathed a long sigh of relief.
