The Extraordinary Apothecary at Hogwarts

The boiling sound gradually stopped, and Eugenie was fished out, but there was still a lot of black water splashing on her face. If she opened her eyes at this time, the remaining phoenix tears in her body would have to worry about it again.

She felt like she was being led forward, so she closed her eyes at ease and allowed her body to be taken wherever she went.

A smell different from black water penetrated her nostrils. The smell was so strong that even if she was paralyzed by the analgesic, she could smell it as disinfectant. She was next to the bathtub - Huh?The smell of disinfectant is gone.

She stood in the empty bathtub, and pouring water poured down on her head and face. The water was warm and comfortable.

Then the water stopped and a soft towel was used to dry her face. Her clothes were also dry and hung loosely on her body.

Snape watched her standing there silently, "Open your door? Or maybe I'll send you to have a rest?"

The analgesic was still taking effect, and Eugenie was confused. Only then did she remember that she could open her eyes. Her limbs were numb, and the pores that had just been released were now numb.

She wanted to say it was okay, but her body didn't execute it correctly, and she didn't know what words she said, so she was taken to the sofa.

The elf passing by holding mistletoe berries looked at her for a few seconds and almost didn't recognize her. The berries fell to the ground with a bang, and his screams seemed like the sky was falling, "Ah, little master! Your hair! Fall off!" It’s gone! What to do, what to do, do you want me to get my hat? You must be freezing in such a cold day.”

Eugenie was curled up on the sofa with her back to the door. She was wrapped in a warm blanket that could generate heat and was about to fall asleep when she was woken up by the scream, so she reluctantly took her hand out of the blanket and moved it left and right.

Snape ignored her refusal and stuffed his escaped arm back into the blanket. He turned to the elf and ordered, "Yes, go get one."

The elf recovered from the shock and bowed, "Yes, sir, I will deliver it to you immediately."

The news that the little master became bald spread quickly on the island.

"What?" Ms. Helena slammed the book on the table, "Do you know what happened? Is it caused by the curse or other reasons? She can't just want to change her appearance on a whim."

The elf stammered anxiously, "No, I don't know - Master -"

He thought for a moment and added, "The little master said that she was going to remove the curse today, and the hair might—maybe—been gone for some reason—I—I'll go and ask."

Helena was also anxious, but as a portrait she couldn't leave the tower. "Go quickly. If she used any risky method to remove the curse, losing her hair is just a small thing, and her health may be seriously damaged. Ask me immediately." Give back.”

The elf staggered out the door and rushed to the room where the little master was resting. He hurried over and was about to open his mouth when Snape sealed his mouth.

"Quiet, okay?" Snape asked softly, narrowing his eyes.

The elf was sweating from behind and nodded desperately.

"The master was very worried. She sent me to ask if the little master was injured."

"Oh, no, reassure her."

"That--little master, her--her hair." The elf breathed a sigh of relief. He kept his head lowered and didn't dare to ask more questions. But if he didn't ask clearly, he couldn't explain it to Ms. Helena, so he had to bite the bullet. stammered.

"The ones that are picked will grow out for disinfection."

Snape finally sent the elf away who was on a mission. Unexpectedly, some more worried elves came running in one after another.

I don't want to worry about it. As long as they can keep quiet, there is no need to drive them away.

Eugenie took a comfortable nap, and when she woke up, she saw a bunch of big eyes quietly crowding around to visit her head.

"You guys?" She stretched and sat up straight, leaning on the sofa. She took off the woolen hat she had put on at some point and stretched out her hand to stroke her silky head, and said slowly, "What's wrong? You didn't Have you ever seen braised eggs?”

The elves shook their heads repeatedly, not knowing whether it meant that they had never seen braised eggs before, or that her head did not look like braised eggs.

Eugenie wrapped herself in a blanket and straightened her back and sat upright, "Okay, stop wondering about my new hairstyle. Tell me, how is the banquet hall decorated?"

"Hanging mistletoe berries and pine cone branches."

"Okay, it must be decorated grandly. This is the most important Christmas in my life."

She turned to the professor and asked, "If you have no other plans today, can we go pick out a Christmas tree together?"

Snape nodded, "Go and change."

"Immediately." Eugenie deliberately picked up the wand with her left hand and waved it in the air, and her clothes and shoes flew across the hallway to her hand.

Before, the magic spell could only be used on the right hand where the magic stone was located, and the rest of the body was sealed by the curse. Now the obstruction was finally removed, and my whole body felt relaxed and smooth.

She fiddled with the blanket and quickly changed her clothes.

Outside the house, there was snow thicker than sheep, and the white reflected the skylight, and everything as far as the eye could see was vast.

You can choose to use a spell to melt the snow on the road, but when you step on it with your boots crunching and leaving a long trail of footprints behind you, you feel like Christmas is coming.

The fir forest is next to the orchard, and the heavy white color bends the branches downward. This forest was planted specifically for the selection of Christmas trees.

Eugenie walked around the forest and looked up at the similar but different trees. "I would like to invite my parents over. They still live in London under the protection of Professor Dumbledore."

"Yes, it's still the same address."

"Hey, my father had to avoid seeing me in the past. In order to take care of me, my mother and he didn't have the chance to meet each other. Now it's finally better." Eugenie raised her wand to shake off the snow on a tree in front of her. "How about this one? Yeah, Professor?"

"The shape is relatively straight, but unfortunately there is a knot."

"Well, yes, I'll pick again. Professor, if you have no other plans - I hope to invite you to spend the holidays together, including Christmas Day."

"Nothing planned, but the school Christmas dinner would suit me better."

"why?"

"I think you deserve a rare reunion - with your family."

"It's with my family. My parents will be very happy that you are willing to accept the invitation." Eugenie looked up and saw the professor frowning and remaining silent, and added, "Actually, besides the reunion, I also want to discuss some important things. You Being there helps a lot.”

"what's up?"

She shook the ring on her hand, "The magic contract brought by this ring only protects the ancestral wealth from being embezzled. But before I gained permission, this contract was both a protection and a cage. My parents had no way to change the contract." Any changes to the content."

"What do you want to do?"

"Reorganization, old assets involve a wide range of areas, I need your opinion."
