The Extraordinary Apothecary at Hogwarts

After Fred and George left, Helen carefully put away the sugar cubes and prepared to return to the lounge happily, but she saw Gemma Farley walking out from behind the pillar.

She realized that she had done something bad, and subconsciously covered the pocket where the sugar cube had been hidden and immediately released it.

Farley crossed his arms and his lips sank, "I heard it all."

"Senior...you, where did you first hear this?" Helen muttered silently in her mind.

"Uh-huh, it should be from the part where you yelled about Merlin's mother-in-law?"

Sure enough, it was over, Helen thought. George's instructions to her not to tell anyone else had been heard.

There was also the score. She saw the prefect badge on the senior sister's chest reflecting in the sun, which was equivalent to seeing the academy's sapphire flying upward.

"I'm afraid I can't sit idly by. Do you really plan to use Weasley's stuff?" Farley asked seriously.

"Um - ah no - I actually -"

Gemma was serious for a few seconds and suddenly laughed, pushing Helen to sit down by the fountain. "Don't be nervous. It's just a harmless joke to make people listen to mosquitoes. I won't deduct points from your college for this reason."

Even if it's Gryffindor's points, I'll just pretend I didn't see it this time.Since the Headmistress turned a blind eye to the Weasley twins, she could certainly see what to do.

And whether they were actively helping Fusco or pretending not to see what the Weasleys were doing, it was because they had a common network.

Helen breathed out, "Can you please keep it a secret for me? Fred and George don't want many people to know about this candy and its price."

"No problem," Farley asked softly in Helen's ear, "Honestly, the annoying person in your mind is Ivy Margulies."

"Ah, how do you know?" Helen asked.

"I didn't become a prefect by walking around in the corridors with a wand and looking for trouble. You have to be observant. The look you looked at that lady was not considered friendly. However, what is concerning is that Margulies's words The semester does change a bit.”

"Right, it has changed a lot. Her whole body started to glow slightly. The book said this is one of the signs of Veela's maturity." Helen traced the protruding curve on her chest.

"It's too fast. You may feel envious at your current age, but -" Farley raised his index finger and shook it from side to side, "It's not a good thing to mature too early. If you grow anxiously, you will age quickly, and the wrinkles on your face will appear. It has to be like the crow's footprints. Well, it's healthy to take your time like you do."

"Hey, but even if the flowering period is short, it still has a flowering period. Thank you for comforting me." Helen said.

Farley snorted, "So you don't hate her because of her appearance."

"No, when I was jealous of her, I knew the problem was with myself. I hated her because she desecrated the place where she studied - in the college library, we have many corners on the bookshelf. She was different in that place from every day. The silly boy - well - that's what I don't want to go into."

"Oh, I know, it's too bad that you are forced to see such a scene when you are looking for a book." Farley expressed sympathy, "How will Crevat and the others handle this matter."

What if she ran into Slytherin in a similar situation, two people who like to linger in public places without anyone around?

Okay, since they chose to be shameless anyway, then they would be tied together with ropes, nose to nose and mouth to mouth, so that they could lose all their shame at once.

There was no one who didn't break up after the incident, but it was a pity that it was only implemented once. Later, there were no brave challengers, and all the existing ones went underground.

Helen was surprised to see Senior Farley looking eager to try, and she hesitated in her answer, "The prefects deducted points, and the matter was reported to Professor Flitwick."

Farley shook his head in disappointment, "It's just a deduction of points. What's your dean's attitude?"

Helen lowered her head and dangled her toes to play with the grass growing beside the fountain. "Professor Flitwick had a headache. He actively communicated with the students' parents, but unexpectedly they were unwilling to cooperate and instead asked the school why it interfered with students' freedom. Specifically, What happened involves personal privacy, so the professor didn’t say much.”

"Ha," Farley said with a disdainful smile, "her parents' brains have been soaked in the gutter. Suppose I have a beautiful daughter that everyone loves in the future, then I think everyone will feel like a gangster, let alone letting her go. What are you doing with those people? If you dare to touch them, chop off their trotters."

"Senior is right." Helen obviously agreed, but she couldn't help but retract her hand.

Seeing Helen's little move, Farley smiled slightly and said, "I stand firmly on your side, but unfortunately her parents have expressed clear opposition. I'm afraid I can't do more than other prefects."

"Hmm, senior sister, don't bother. I'll cause her a little trouble behind her back. She might be too distracted by the mosquitoes and not want to date all day long."

"That's right, you should adopt creative methods for behaviors that cannot be regulated by school rules. Come on, let me support your decision in another way." Farley stood up, "I guess you haven't figured out how to treat her yet." Let's take the medicine. How about a combination of invisibility and levitation spell? Invisibility with a small range of effect is not difficult to learn."

"Good idea!" Helen thought about it and asked, "But senior sister, don't you have class next period?"

Seventh graders are super busy, especially those with good grades and many course choices.

"There are no classes. You're lucky to have caught up. It would have been difficult for you to find me for the other four days." Farley's smile at this moment was as pure as the clear sky.

Helen looked at her and had some kind of illusion. The words "I want to chop off other people's pig hooves" just now were not at all like what the senior sister said herself.

……

October mornings are often shrouded in curtain-like mist. The white cilia of the feather grass grow thicker than the snow, while the yellow leaves on the wisteria trellis are knocked off by the night rain and fall sparsely.

Wormtail's hair was getting sparser, and the happy life here made him miss the days when Harry and Ron were stuffing him with chaff.

During this period, Eugenie's practice continued to focus on emotional management.

But unlike Occlumency, which advocates the elimination of all emotions, what she wants to do is to let reason actively guide two opposite emotions, allowing them to be triggered in the mind at the same time, and each occupy an important position.

Negative emotions are responsible for mobilizing the magic power for dark spells and appropriately going crazy;

Positive emotions are responsible for creating barriers, separating negative ones from other parts of the brain, standing by with stronger emotional power, and always having the ability to overwhelm negative emotions.
