Hogwarts in the shadows

Hephis gave all the hot packs to the twins and ignored the others, just waiting to be paid.

In the following days, the twins could be seen being sold throughout Hogwarts.

Even the Slytherin recess notice board had an advertisement for a baby warmer.

The winter wind blows, the war drums beat, who are you afraid of with a hot pack?

You can stick the hot pack wherever you want.

Dare to swim naked in winter and roll in the snow.

Hephis also saw that these two people were really talented.

Although it was torn off quickly, many young Slytherin wizards knew about the hot pack and bought some.

Many young wizards not only use them themselves, but also buy a lot for their families.

After all, adults have to go out to work, and many people really don't use the insulation spell well.

During this time, owls are flying all over Hogwarts, and now people have to queue up to use an owl in the Owlery.

The effect of the warm baby in this era is amazing, and the stock in Gemini's hands is decreasing at an alarming rate.

Every day they both grin so hard that their back teeth are exposed.

Theodore now pesters Hefez every night, the kind that won't let him rest for a single day and won't tolerate him unless he gives in.

Now two shots are no longer enough for Theodore, he needs three shots, and they must be of guaranteed quality and quantity.

The first-grade wizards are no longer enough to satisfy him, so he has to deal with the second-grade ones.

So Theodore would sleep whenever he could during the day, and if he was too sleepy, he would drink stimulants.

Hephis felt so painful watching this, but it was his own fault and he had to endure it no matter how painful it was.

In order to satisfy Theodore every day, he could not hold on any longer, his body became thinner and his spirit became worse and worse.

Two weeks later, Hephis kicked Theodore out of the dormitory for the first time and told him to go back to bed.

Otherwise, he would never be given the chance to devour again, which gave Hephis a chance to breathe.

Theodore didn't sleep every day, and even after he returned his shadow, he would practice until 7 o'clock and go straight to breakfast.

Hefeisi was beside him every day, and he was the eldest, so how could he sleep? He could only accompany him.

Moreover, Theodore has an infectious attribute of being diligent and hardworking, which infects Hephes with passion every day and makes him practice desperately.

So Hephis decided that he couldn't go on like this. The author of the Eggplant novel could only take one day off a month.

I finally got a good night's sleep today. From now on, Theodore is only allowed to come on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and rest on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. As for the day, it depends on my mood.

On Thursday night, Hephis finally had his first detention after the Christmas holidays, and of course it was Snape's.

Originally, he had to go to Snape for detention on Mondays and Thursdays during these two weeks.

But I didn't know what Snape was up to, so I forgot to ask him because he said he didn't have time to deal with him.

I received a note from Draco this afternoon, which read: "Detention continues."

And Master Draco's performance is very interesting.

It's the kind of thing where you want to get closer but feel a little embarrassed.

In the end, he could only hesitate, hold his chin high, and say something incoherent: "I forgive you," and then left in a hurry.

Hephis understood.

After all, Draco is just an 11-year-old boy, and a spoiled little master by his family.

Maybe for him, forgiveness is the biggest concession.

Since Hephis learned about the existence of District 9, his thoughts have changed.

Pure-blood families hold a pivotal position in the wizarding world.

Each one has a long heritage and represents a profound heritage.

If they are willing to make friends, Hephis doesn't mind showing some goodwill and giving them some benefits.

As for the Travers family, they dared to trip him up in the inheritance of the family tree and also hurt Snape's face.

Hefeis would never let a grudge go unless the other party was willing to pay a greater price to make up for his wounded heart.

"Good evening, Professor Snape."

"Have you been ill again recently?" Snape looked at him coldly.

"Hmm? I haven't been sick recently! I've been very well behaved and haven't caused any trouble!" Hephis was a little confused. No one had bothered him recently! What was wrong with him?

The corners of Snape's mouth twitched. What the hell is going on?

"I mean you've lost a lot of weight recently." Snape said quickly, resisting the urge to kick Hephes out.

"Oh, you're talking about this! That's what I was saying. Recently, I..." Hephis touched his face.

"Answer the question." Snape's anger level was rising.

"I have indeed lost a lot of weight, but I don't think it has much impact. I just get tired easily and always feel sleepy." Hephis said 'truthfully'.

"I did some research recently, and I found that there are indeed many potions in the ancient magic world that can strengthen the body."

Hephaestus' eyes sparkled.

"But many of the formulas are incomplete. Even Hogwarts doesn't have many related books. And many related creatures have become extinct."

"Oh fine!"

"But!" Snape paused deliberately.

Hephis looked up at Snape. This was not right!

This way of speaking doesn't fit Snape's personality!

Could it be that the Polyjuice Potion has changed?

Hephaestus looked into Snape's eyes. Snape hardly blinked when he spoke.

Snape felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Hephis. Why was he staring at him like that? Was there something dirty on his face?

He said quickly: "However, I have integrated some information and have come up with a recipe. The first pot has already been cooked."

"Ah! Long live Professor Snape! Professor Snape, you are awesome!" Hephes said excitedly.

"Stop, this is just a successful experiment. The efficacy is not strong yet. The formula and proportion need to be adjusted." Snape glared at Hephis.

"That's great, too. There's hope."

"Okay, I'm telling you this just so you don't worry too much about your health. I'll perfect the potion as soon as possible."

"Thank you, Professor. Thank you so much."

"Now go dig out the toad's heart and nerves." Snape ordered directly.

"Yes, Professor." The tone was just right.

Separating a toad's heart and nerves is a rather troublesome task and is rarely allowed to be done by young wizards in the lower grades because it would only waste materials.

Even for senior students, they can only do this by taking intensive classes.

Hefeth was able to do this because he had a steady hand.

Although removing a toad's heart seems simple, the heart blood is a key point.

It will greatly affect the efficacy of the medicine, so extremely precise knife skills are required.

The toad's nerves are even more troublesome, with two almost transparent thin lines next to the spine.

If your eyesight is a little bit poor, you won’t be able to see it, let alone remove it.

If you use less force, it won't come out; if you use too much force, it will break.

It took Hephis two and a half hours to deal with the sixty-odd toads.

In the last hour, he even used Occlumency, because he couldn't bear to waste his patience.

Hephis breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back in his chair, feeling like he was going to be crippled and his eyes were almost going blind.

Snape walked over and looked at the finished product, which was quite well done.

In addition to rigor, brewing potions also requires patience.

The more advanced the potion, the longer it takes to brew.

Some potions even need to be boiled for more than half a year. If you don’t have enough patience, don’t even think about brewing the potion successfully.

"Okay, get out of here! Curfew is about to begin." Snape drove him away.

"Okay, professor." Hephis stood up and was about to leave.
