The Extraordinary Apothecary at Hogwarts

Hagrid touched Sissy's head with his big hand, and said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't make you sad, and you also want to help Peghoco as much as you can."

Seeing that he had compromised, Sissy withdrew her aggrieved look and lowered her head without saying a word.

Hagrid was afraid that she would cry again in the next second, so he really didn't know what to do, so he hurriedly accepted the two Galleons on the table and assured her, "I'll go buy blood-blood grass tomorrow morning, and I I bet I was there before the pharmacy opened."

Sissy couldn't hold back her tears and smiled, "Thank you Hagrid, I think when she regains her strength, her bones will recover faster."

Sissy looked at the wings that had just been bandaged. If the wings were fully unfolded, they would be more than 15 feet, which is less than 5 meters. But it is not wrong to say that she is a "little guy". The wingspan of the winged beast is said to be as wide as 24 feet.

What did such a huge body make her think, "Hagrid, do you think we should fix her broken parts again? Her wings are too heavy. If they hang down to the ground like this, the broken parts may easily come off again. open."

"You're right, I should have thought of it earlier." Hagrid slapped his head, then got up and found two sturdy wooden strips of suitable size from the debris pile, polished them smooth before using them to fix the wound firmly again .

"Okay, it's all right now. I really hope she can get better soon. Look at the fresh meat I prepared for her over there. She hasn't had an appetite for a whole day."

Speaking of fresh meat, Hagrid suddenly remembered that they hadn't eaten dinner yet, and now that Peghoko's injury was basically relieved, his stomach rumbled.

It was the first time that Sissy could hear her stomach growling like thunder.

Hagrid smiled sheepishly, "I don't have any good things here, you don't mind eating pork, do you?"

"I don't have any taboos - I like to eat any kind of meat!"

Qianxi is a "meat ancestor" who likes every meal without meat, such as boiled lamb, she thinks that there is no need for any hot pot dipping sauce, just sprinkle a little salt and it will be delicious.Fortunately, God has blessed her with a physique that is not easy to gain weight.

"Then it's easy to handle. Try the roast suckling pig later, I'm very good at it. Buckbeak just happened to catch this wild boar and gave it to me." Hagrid rolled up his sleeves and prepared to cook, "Maybe you have to wait patiently." It will take some time to eat, but wild pork is definitely more delicious than those pork you have eaten!"

Sissy was looking forward to it, and tears flowed from the corners of her mouth.

Just as Hagrid was busy cooking, Sissy planned to practice the Levitation Charm outside the house for a while.

"Hagrid, do you have any useless feathers? I want to try the Levitation Charm outside."

"Oh, there are as many of these things as you want. You must go outside and look on the ground. I haven't had time to clean them today."

That's right, Hagrid deals with magical animals every day, and there are always some feathers that come and go.

Sissy picked up a dark green one that was as long as her forearm, and she didn't know what kind of bird it was.

She took out her wand from her sleeve, posed herself, took a deep breath, followed the gist of the book, said the spell and waved the wand.

"Winga Tim Leviosa"

Feather lay lazily on the ground, twitched perfunctorily, and moved a little bit.

It's okay, it's the first time, failure is the mother of success.

Sissy comforted herself in this way, then recalled the discrepancies between the movements and readings just now and the book, and tried a dozen more times like this...

There was no improvement at all, and even a gust of wind blew the feathers away while she was practicing.

Sissy's brows were almost knotted, but if the effect was a little better for one of them, even if the shaking was slightly larger, she would not be so annoyed as she is now.

She puffed her cheeks and stared at Feather with resentment of failure, and tried again with a somewhat rude gesture.

This time, when she started chanting the spell, she felt the feeling of the magic power flowing and converging. Could it be that she was about to succeed?

Just after the word "Sa" was finished, the feather rushed to the ground with a "thump", and the invisible shock wave knocked Sissy to the ground.

She stood up and found that it was over, the feather flew to nowhere, and the pumpkin at the door was broken into large and small pieces and scattered all over the ground.

Hagrid couldn't care less about looking at the grill when he heard the noise, and when he opened the door, he saw Sissy sitting on the ground and pumpkins all over the floor.

Hagrid helped Sissy up and patted the dust off her clothes, "Are you really practicing the Levitating Charm?"

Sissy tilted her head, "That's right, I read Wingardim Leviosa, and the way of reading is the same as that in the book. I don't know why it happened like this. I'm sorry Hagrid, I put you The big pumpkin is broken."

"Pumpkin? Let's add pumpkin juice tonight. I'm going to make some dried pumpkin with the extra, or pumpkin porridge is not a good choice." Hagrid didn't care about the damage Sissy caused.

"Practicing this spell is generally not harmless, so it will be taught in the first grade. How did you do it?" Hagrid was very puzzled. Generally speaking, if you fail to practice the Levitating spell, the most common reason is that the feathers do not respond. It won't explode.

Sissy repeated it with a different feather, this time the same feather that had failed just a little, and then she described to Hagrid the time when she exploded the pumpkin.

"Hmm... It's really okay to read it. The movement of swinging the staff is actually not very important. After you are really proficient, you can swing it however you want. The movement just helps you succeed more easily." Hagrid rested his chin while thinking.

"When you are angry, the wizard will inadvertently release more unstable power. I think it is because of this. You have to learn to control your own power Sissy. The Levitating Curse really tests the patience of the wizard."

Indeed, the succession of failures at that time made her very impatient.

Hagrid said in a joking tone: "But I haven't seen anyone who can turn the Levitation Curse into a Detonation Curse because of this. I guess your magic power is a bit special. In short, before you can control it well, you will Don't try another spell, it's more dangerous."

Sissy nodded thoughtfully. The practice was not as simple as she imagined. In the future, she must not be so eager for success, otherwise she would end up blowing herself up like a pumpkin one day.

"Okay, let's rest today, I'm going to get the roast suckling pig, it should be roasted soon." From the crack of the door began to waft the tempting smell of meat, mixed with a slight smell of burnt.

Sissy moved all the pumpkin pieces that could be moved into the house, cleaned them and squeezed them into juice.

Hagrid put the roast suckling pig on a huge porcelain plate and put it on the table. The smoked charcoal made the sizzling pork more fragrant.

Hagrid cut "a small piece" and put it on Sissy's plate, "Taste my handicraft quickly, and eat it with this sauce."

Sissy couldn't move the piece of meat, so she just grabbed it with her hands and ate it. It was a little hot, but the taste and aroma of the food were perfect at this time.

The golden and crispy skin does not contain excess fat, the meat is firm but not hard to bite, the dipping sauce is wrapped in rich sweet and sour tomatoes, and there is a hint of spiciness.

After one bite, the crispy fruity aroma is wrapped in the richness of the sauce, filling the entire mouth along the bitten-off fibers of the meat.

“So delicious!”

Any negative emotions are swept away at this moment.
