The Extraordinary Apothecary at Hogwarts

"You are all here, George, Fred." Harry walked out of the players' locker room, his rebellious hair even more messy.

"Come on Harry, come to our weekend party."

"Party? I've never been to a party before!" Harry immediately forgot the exhaustion brought about by training, and he originally planned to go back early and have a good sleep.

Of course, Harry has also "listened" to a party in the Muggle world. It should be very lively. There are celebratory salutes, words of congratulations and praise from everyone, tactful music and cheerful dance steps...

He had heard all this in the cupboard under the stairs, and when he was allowed to come out, there was only a mess and a mountain of dishes to clean up.

"Thank you." Harry lowered his head slightly. After 11 years, he was finally invited to a party. He had been looking forward to this day for a long time.

Fred noticed something wrong with Harry's expression, smiled and took his hand, "Follow us, there is no shortage of delicious food and fun, just watch!"

Speaking of which, Fred took out a black candy with a strange color from his pocket, threw it into his mouth and chewed it, and suddenly billows of white smoke came out of his ears, and soon the same smoke came out of his nostrils.

Harry's eyes widened. At this moment, Fred was almost like the front of a steam train, cooing and smoking.

"Don't worry, Harry, this is our new invention, which is non-toxic and harmless. It's just a little unstable. It's still in the experimental stage." George chewed one after he finished speaking, and green smoke soon came out of his ears. , not as thick as white smoke, it smells like cooling oil.

"Would you like one?"

"No, I think it's better to forget it." Harry wanted to refuse, but George quickly grabbed a handful and stuffed them into Harry's pocket.

"Remember not to steal food during class." George blinked his eyes and smiled mischievously.

Several people climbed up the stairs for a long time, and the rotation changes from time to time made them have to stop and wait.

Ron asked out of breath, "Haven't we arrived yet, where are we going?"

"This is a secret." The twins looked serious.

Ron wondered, you guys were going to take me anyway, and you kept secretively refusing to tell me earlier, it was really hypocritical.

His two elder brothers have been different and weird since they were young. The cool big brother Bill is better, and the second brother Charlie is also good. As for Percy, Ron thinks he is too old-fashioned and unflexible.

There isn't much movement around the castle on weekends, especially when you climb above the fifth floor.

Finally, they walked through the corridor on the eighth floor of the castle and stopped opposite a huge tapestry.

"There is such a painting in the school..." Ron stared at the tapestry, which showed the scene of silly Barnabas trying to teach the troll to dance the ballet.

The huge, bloated feet of the six trolls were squeezed into red ballet shoes, and the straps were tightly bound on the feet and calves, making indentations.

They are wearing red and white miniskirts, but their upper bodies are bare-chested and their breasts are exposed. They stand on tiptoes one by one, holding big sticks made of bones, posing in ballet-like poses, and knocking silly Barnabas on the head again and again. superior.

Sissy frowned, especially the weird smile on the monster's face made her feel frightened. This kind of wicked painting has been circulated in the school for more than 1000 years. What do the principals think...

"Stand back and watch what I do." George looked around vigilantly, but no one was paying attention to them, so he closed his eyes and concentrated, and walked towards the seemingly ordinary stone wall in front of him.

"He can pass through walls?" Harry wondered.

"Shh, keep your voice down, it's not the wall penetration technique, it's the wall itself that is not normal." Fred quickly covered Harry's mouth and explained softly.

I saw George going in and out of the stone wall three times, and when he came out for the last time, the ordinary wall quietly changed.

The rough stone wall seemed to be smoothed by a big hand, gradually becoming smoother and smoother, and finally turned into a weird big mirror——I couldn’t see what was inside, and there was no scene in the castle or everyone’s figure on the mirror , everything around seems to have nothing to do with the mirror.

"Come in." Fred and George stepped into the mirror first.

The moment they stepped in, the calm mirror surface was like rippling water, submerging them into it, and quickly restored calm.

Sissy noticed that the edge of the door was slowly shrinking inward: "Let's go in quickly too, this door is getting smaller."

Harry and Ron looked up, the edge of the mirror was being eroded by the surrounding stone walls and turned back to its original shape, and they went in together without hesitation.

The moment the three of them had just stepped into the door, a cold figure roared down from the roof and followed them in, causing Sissy to shiver.

"Why does this feel like deja vu?" Sissy turned around in doubt, but found nothing unusual.

Inside the house is a whole other world.

There was a faint colorful smoke lingering on the roof. The Weasley brothers explained that it was caused by a lot of black candy they had experimented with here two days ago, and it would gradually dissipate in a few days, and it was non-toxic and harmless.

There are many shelves on the ground, with all kinds of small things on them, and some bottles and cans filled with unknown liquids.

Most of the shelves are still empty. After all, there is a lot of space in this room, and it will be full for a while.On the right is the party area, with barbecue grills and dessert stations.

George and Fred watched their astonished expressions with satisfaction, and took out a large pile of food from the storage bag.

Originally, food was not suitable to be stored in the storage bag. The storage bag was created by using space magic. It is airtight and the temperature is the same as that of the outside world. This kind of weather is not suitable for storage at all.

But they use a kind of air bubbles to wrap the food one by one before putting it in.Now if you want to take it out, you only need to say a spell and wave the wand, place it on the dining table lightly, poke the skin of the bubble lightly, and the bubble will burst with a soft sound without leaving any traces.

"This bubble is also your invention?" Sissy has never seen this kind of thing before, presumably the preservation effect of the bubble is excellent, and the fried chicken seems to have completely retained the quality of last night, still crisp.

"It's not considered an invention. We saw similar things sold in the grocery store. We made this after referring to it and improved it. The effect is much better than the original."

"These two are probably not the reincarnation of Edison?" Sissy inadvertently had this thought in her mind, and she was very envious of the two brothers having such inventive talents.

"Okay, bring all the things that need to be heated."

The air bubbles can keep fresh, but they can't lock the heat, so that the food is completely kept at the moment when it is just out of the oven.Fred and George are working hard to overcome this problem, and now they can only take the food to the grill to reheat.
