Blessing Potion [Comprehensive British and American]

After get off work, Cyril planned to go directly to Headmaster Snape. The two of them communicated with each other a few days ago, and the Headmaster said that he would go back to live in Spider's End Lane today.

Headmaster Snape went directly to the United States to attend a seminar when he was on vacation, and the two of them haven't been able to see each other until now.

So Xi Ruier immediately decided that he didn't need to go back to school at night, and stayed at the dean's house by the way.

Considering that there is no connection with the fireplace in Spider's End, Cyril took the elevator directly and walked out from the gate of St. Mungo's Hospital - the glass window of the Clear Department Store in London, England.

For this reason, he specially changed into Muggle clothes, a short-sleeved cotton shirt and a pair of light-colored pants. He came out clean and fresh, looking like an ordinary Muggle student.

After coming out, Cyril specially turned into a small Muggle supermarket on the corner of the street, and bought some vegetables, fruits and commonly used seasonings. He wanted to make a good dinner for the dean tonight, which could be regarded as a clean-up for the dean after returning from a meeting. .

I heard that the United States is full of French fries, burgers and boiled green beans (Fiona Scamander laughed: Britain is full of fish and chips?), the dean never pays attention to his meals, and eats two extra bites of delicious food , Eat two less bites if it is not delicious, and don't deliberately ask for anything.

I only hope that the dean has not been wronged too much these days.

Yiwen has already attended kindergarten in China, and his parents and grandparents have returned to the peaceful days of living in China for a long time.Grandparents also started their new trip.

It seems that Cyril's family has an agreement with Headmaster Dumbledore. A while ago, the headmaster wrote to him specifically to ask him to live in the school or go to his headmaster's house even during the holidays.Even the elf biscuits in the manor were sent directly to China, and now the entire McLean Manor is uninhabited, even if he goes back, it doesn't make much sense.

In fact, Cyril wished to live with the dean. Although the living conditions were so simple and touching, he could study potions with Dean Snape, read his collection of books and notes, and even exchange some information about potions. Brainstorm, just think about it.

After buying everything he needed, he walked to a corner where no one was around. The boy directly picked up a small potion bottle that the dean had given him with a letter. It was a door key to the dean's house.

"Mentos."

In the next second, the feeling of being hooked to the belly came, and Cyril opened his eyes again and arrived at a familiar place, and there happened to be a familiar suitcase at his feet.

"Diandian packed your luggage for you. Your fluffy pet and baby snake refused to be separated, so I had to, very reluctantly, but I had to accept the fact that I vacated a room for them and reinforced it by the way. .”

Cyril heard his voice before seeing him, and when he turned around, he saw Dean Snape standing in front of the bookshelf.

This is a Muggle house, without the magic circle inherent in those wizarding houses. Even with the addition of the dean's spell, the whole house looks particularly desolate after a long period of time without people.

For example, right now, the dean is placing the newly brought books while casting the dust removal spell.

Cyril put the suitcase back in his room, and went downstairs to follow the dean to sort out the things he brought back from the United States.

Half a box full of books and magazines, mostly about potions and cutting-edge magic spells.

"Oh yes, Miss Scamander asked me to bring it to you."

Snape turned his hand to the bottom, and took out a cardboard box wrapped in brown paper.Cyril took it and found that there was still some weight.

"Did you meet in America?" Cyril asked casually while unpacking.

"Well, part of that meeting intersected with magical creatures." Snape continued to go up one by one, sorting them out.

Arranging these books can be solved by magic, but Snape cherishes each book as always, and it is probably also one of his pleasures to confirm and manually sort and arrange books one by one.

""Encyclopedia of Magical Creatures (5th Edition)" - Scamander, it hasn't been released in the UK yet, she is really a good person." Cyril opened the kraft paper, saw a thin book inside, and said with a smile .

This is the latest technology published by the wizarding world. It is similar to the electronic display screen of Muggles. There are only two thin pages, but everything you want to know can be found on these two pages, no matter what you are about to check. Use it to "photograph" images, or text searches, and everything you need will be displayed on these two pages.

You know, the fourth edition of "Atlas of Fantastic Creatures" is as thick as three Oxford Advanced Dictionaries.

"Well. This is... this is an extra box I just bought, here it is for you." Snape got something else, and stuffed it into the big boy's hand, with a troublesome expression on his face that he didn't want to say more. .

Cyril blinked, put aside the encyclopedia map in his hand, and stared wholeheartedly at the long black velvet box in front of him.

Open the shell of the box, inside is a row of high-quality, crystal clear crystal vials.Even in the light that is not very bright, it can still reflect colorful and bright light.

These small medicine bottles are very cute and exquisite, some are gourd-shaped, some are hexahedron-shaped, some are fat, some are thin... Each one looks different, there are 7 of them, and they are said to be medicine bottles. More like a work of art.

Most importantly, each bottle has a letter R on the underside.

This kind of crystal vial with the letter R must be familiar to anyone who makes potions.

Just like Hermes in the leather bag industry and Rolls Royce in the automobile industry, this crystal medicine bottle marked with "R" has always been at the top of the pyramid in the medicine bottle industry.

This is definitely not as simple as "simply" buying an extra box, and it takes a one-year cycle to order the production alone.The most important thing is that each of this brand of crystal medicine bottles has more than a dozen spells on it. They are all handmade. It is no exaggeration to describe each one as unique.

"You're going to work. As your teacher, I don't have anything to give away. Thinking about it, you might be able to use it in your work." Snape muttered without looking back, and then tightly shut his mouth. , I will never say another word.

Cyril found that he could feel a bit of crampedness from the wizard's straight back and straight legs—such an upright back.

"I really... like it very much. Thank you, Dean." Cyril carefully closed the box of the medicine bottle, and put it into his cosmos bag.

The wizard responded with a nasal sound through his nose.

"I'm going to prepare dinner. You can clean up here first. We'll have dinner together later." Cyril stood up, packed up the "encyclopedia" on one side, and bought a bunch of food bags , into the empty kitchen.

Before turning around and entering the kitchen, I heard Dean Snape add: "From now on...we will be considered colleagues, and you don't have to call me Dean anymore. Just call me by my name."

……

For dinner, in view of Cyril's good mood, Doudou, the almighty elf, was also summoned.Finally, with the help of the elves, they completed a sumptuous dinner for two together.

The two of them didn't talk much during the meal, but the atmosphere was very good, and both of them were very satisfied with what they ate.

During the dessert time, Cyril was eating bowls of smashed and stirred yogurt with blueberries and raspberries, suddenly remembered tomorrow's schedule, and asked curiously: "Which student are we going to pick up tomorrow?"

Snape was drinking tea. Hearing this, he raised his head and raised an eyebrow: "Why, Dumbledore didn't tell you?"

"What?" Cyril raised his head, and there was a funny pinch of yogurt "little white beard" at the corner of his mouth.

Snape pushed the paper that Cyril newly bought back on the table towards the boy, and said flatly: "The trip to pick up the freshman tomorrow is temporarily canceled, it seems that the student is not in the UK for the time being, and we will talk about it when he comes back." .”

"Oh……"

If there are a pair of fox ears on the top of Cyril's head at this moment, then the two pointed ears that usually stand tall must be drooping now.

Snape saw the disappointment visible to the naked eye of the big boy, clicked his tongue, put down the teacup, and added without a trace: "But I do have plans to go out tomorrow, if you have nothing else to do tomorrow, you'd better go with me one trip."

"What?" Cyril looked up again.

"Accompany me to a place." Snape said lightly, frowning slightly as he remembered something.

"No problem, I'll be on weekends tomorrow." Cyril immediately made a positive statement.

"Ah."

……

Brighton on the south coast of England the following day.

Brighton Seaside is a seaside resort on the south coast of England, it is part of the City of Brighton and Hove and a historic part of Sussex. [Note]——This is the introduction that Cyril saw in the book "British Travel Guide" that her mother randomly stuffed in her dry bag.

Cyril stood by the seaside, looking at the bustling seaside market, the endless stream of tourists and the small bars and restaurants on the street, he couldn't believe that his dean led him here - through a miniature cauldron door key.

For a moment the boy almost thought that the dean was here to take him on vacation.

Snape looked around, and then chose a small path similar to the seaside sightseeing boardwalk, and led Cyril all the way to the sparsely populated place.

Cyril followed behind, feeling the pleasant sea breeze, and suddenly fell in love with this place.

"Severus, where are we going?" the boy asked cheerfully, poking his head towards the seashore on the left side of the boardwalk.

"It's up there." Snape looked up and said flatly.

Cyril followed his gaze and looked up. There was a hill on the other side of the plank road, and the stones on the mountain could be touched with his hands.This seaside hill seems to be cut from the side by something, straight up.

Probably because of Cyril's position, he actually couldn't see clearly what was on the top of the hill.

"On this mountain?"

"Well. Come here, hold my arm tightly, and we'll go straight up." Headmaster Snape held up his wand and raised one arm.

Cyril immediately embraced it with both hands unceremoniously, and after being squeezed into a pipe-like sense of confusion, the two of them appeared on the top of the hill that they were looking up just now.

The view from the top of the mountain is very good, overlooking the entire seaside town and the sea in the distance.

There was a small white stone house on the flat ground in the middle of the mountain top. There were no doors or windows on the stone house, and it looked more like a pavilion for viewing and resting. Snape led Cyril directly over there.

Then something magical happened.

Following in the footsteps of Headmaster Snape, Cyril walked into the small pavilion with an area of ​​less than four square meters. The moment he passed through the pavilion, the scene in front of him changed.

A pointed building with a very long history appeared in front of the two of them. The iron gate of the garden was opened directly, and vines were crawling on and around the iron fence.

Snape looked up in a daze for a while, finally hooked the corners of his mouth, and said to Cyril, who was staring blankly beside him, "Welcome to Prince Manor."
