The Extraordinary Apothecary at Hogwarts

The robe behind Snape lost the wind that it brought when he walked, and finally fell naturally in front of the podium. He lowered his eyes and looked under the podium. Some people habitually buried their heads, as if just lowering their eyebrows a little, they would be a little taller. Very reassuring.

With just one look, all the fearful memories these adults had in their school days were awakened - just like the fire dragon who was frightened of bells after being whipped since he was a child. These are solid memories that can only be hidden with forgetting spells or potions.

Snape looked around briefly and then turned to her and said, "Miss Farley wants to see you."

"She is in the office now?"

"Ah."

"Okay, Professor, I'll go first." Eugenie nodded. She couldn't help much if she stayed here. And Senior Sister Farley had already tried to date her several times. She was still preparing for the exam and her time was very tight. of.

Eugenie hurried back. Beside the stairs, some people who had no classes and no final exams were playing with fruit-flavored fart stickers - a friendly version launched by Weasley and his friends, without the weird smell, but with a more wavy sound.

This playful sound disappeared as soon as they reached the corner of the stairs leading to the underground.

The door to the Potions classroom next door was open, and she glanced in to see that Fred and George's class was in class.

The students were immersed in writing papers. Mr. Pai was sitting next to the podium, correcting the stack of second-grade papers, and using his peripheral vision to supervise the exam. From time to time, the students sitting directly opposite him saw the teacher making crosses and deducting points on other people's papers. , I was very flustered, and it was even more difficult to recall the knowledge points that I was not familiar with.

The reason for taking another exam——

What the principal canceled was the final exam. Did he cancel the weekly and monthly exams?

not at all.

There was no final exam, so I just took a few additional exams and practiced to fill in the gaps. The results could still be sent to parents, and it was not a problem for Snape at all.

Even Harry said that Snape would rather accept him as a godson than let them go easy in class.

He was not there, but he was everywhere. Maybe at some point that terrifying black figure would suddenly appear from behind the door.

Even Mr. Pye was so frightened by this kind of spot check that he dropped his quill.

Mr. Pye keenly caught even the footsteps of Eugenie passing by. He raised his head nervously, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Eugenie glanced at it and then quickly looked away, opened the office door and said, "Sorry, I hope I didn't keep you waiting for a long time."

"No, I just waited for 2 minutes." Gemma Farley stroked Libo's round head and said with a smile, "He is so good!"

This owl was very friendly to her. Its head kept falling toward her back as she was caressed, like an uninflated balloon, and its neck was soft.

There have been a lot of flying missions in Libo recently. Several correspondence from Mr. Belby, many letters sent to London, and some from Wiltshire were not delivered by the school owl, but were all handed over to him.

It's so comfortable to have someone massage my head while I'm resting.

Eugenie scratched his plush neck and sat down on her little chair. "I think he must have been infected by your excellent affinity. He is usually not very willing to get close to other people. How much time do you have today, Farley?" Miss?"

"Until the next class, Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration class."

"Excluding travel time, there are about 15 minutes left." Eugenie asked bluntly. "With excellent grades and outstanding abilities, it is obvious that you choose the job, not the job."

Snape understood Miss Farley's family background. Her parents were hard-working private company clerks who wanted to send their daughter to the Ministry of Magic to find a safe and stable job.

Her aunt worked in the Office for the Abuse of Magic, and she happened to meet Umbridge. The job was very unsatisfactory. Her parents definitely did not want her to be transferred there, or to other jobs that required exposure to a large number of dangerous incidents.

"Miss Farley, I would like to know what kind of job you are interested in? I briefly asked Professor Snape about your situation. In terms of my current needs, are you willing to get a job in the International Magical Cooperation Department? , I will need some cutting-edge information on international trade in the future, so you can get a double salary."

Farley shook his head, "My mother wants me to go to the Transportation Department or the Logistics Department of the Ministry of Magic. Although the International Magical Cooperation Department is better than those two, I don't want to live a life where I can see everything at a glance."

"I understand that it needs to be challenging, but challenge also means risk."

"Yes, if possible, I am looking for a high-risk, high-reward job. I hope I can make enough money through it and gain the freedom to do whatever I want when I am still young."

Eugenie thought for a while, "Are you willing to receive some Auror training? For magical abilities, there is no need to learn the rules of Auror law enforcement."

"No problem." Farley could guess what she wanted to say.

"To put it bluntly, I am thinking about the safety of my parents. They are protected now, but I need the protection of being around all day." Eugenie lowered her voice and continued, "When necessary, I need you to have excellent imitation ability."

Farley imitated some of Miss Fusco's habits, "Like this?"

Eugenie could see who she was imitating at a glance, "Oh, you are very careful, that's all, pay attention to my mother's movements and habits. There are some people who hate my family. You know what I might ask you to do, and you are still willing to accept it." ?"

"As long as the reward is worth the risk," Farley said decisively. She really couldn't accept asking her to follow her parents' arrangements and do a job that lasted for decades. She also had no special interests and hobbies that made her choose a job. Passionate but average-paying job.

A goal-oriented person knows what she wants. She is only interested in future wealth, freedom and traveling around the world, for which she can pay some price.

Farley calculated how many years it would take for her to earn a salary from a high-paying profession before she could escape the fate of working.

She asked pointedly, "Can I expect a higher salary than a Curse Breaker?"

The wages of a Gringotts Cursebreaker are good, but they come with the risk of being harmed by ancient spells.

"Of course, I can guarantee that it is at least twice as much, but there is one thing to say up front. I am willing to believe you, but since the safety of my parents is involved, in order to make sure nothing goes wrong - if this is a job that you are satisfied with, I will hope that you will Signing a strict magical contract, to put it bluntly, the consequences of violating the contract are not much different from directly losing one's life."

"I don't mind using the Unbreakable Vow."

Eugenie looked directly into her eyes with all her concentration, "Are you sure? I won't refuse."

"I'm sure." Farley replied firmly, "If it were me, I would also ask the other party to swear."
