[hp] stay out of it

I came back to my senses and found that I was in front of Lavenhawk. I was about to knock on the door knocker when a girl from the lower grade pushed the door out, smiled at me and walked away quickly.I found Benelli and Danchi in the corner of the lounge, studying today's newspaper.Bruce left with two Aurors sent by the Ministry of Magic the day before yesterday, claiming to be responsible for the death of the so-called Ms. White (that is, Helen's Muggle identity). The guy got out of temporary holding, and Bruce didn't see a single nail in Azkaban.

"Still watching the news about Boyle's house?" I sat down with a large stack of books on the chair: "It's not annoying."

"It's not how much we care about you, Vincent," Danqi stuck out his tongue, "because we really don't want to stare at the hopeless formula. Easter is only half a month away, but you see."

I pulled through the roll of parchment and found that they had replaced almost all of the ingredients in the original recipe, and the directions in the new recipe bore no resemblance to the old one.

"At the beginning, I just had a new idea, and then it got farther and farther away from the idea of ​​the standard formula." Benilli flipped the newspaper over and over again, with a look of despair on his face: "At least we can make a breakthrough on the problem of the Boyle family. , but that recipe is 100% a dead end. Easter is half a month away and I'm going to have to get down to the common stuff and give away - well, not just for mom gifts, but I was actually trying to get everyone's Simulate all the ideas, so that I can give everyone the perfect gift..."

"Oh, Hornby, that's not possible," Florette said, emerging from behind a dusty bookshelf. "You have no right to infringe on other people's ideas."

"What are you doing there, eavesdropping on everyone sitting here?" I was taken aback.

"You don't understand," Floret smiled with satisfaction, and patted a dusty object in his hand: "You can always find good things in places you haven't visited for a long time-especially the bookcases that haven't been cleaned for a long time. Back. Look, here I've found one."

I counted the cobwebs on his body and scoffed at his whims: "You call that a book? It's rotted into a pile of fibers that are nothing."

"You're wrong, Yves," Benilli retorted dissatisfiedly, giving Yves a lot of space—for the sake of a pound of dust on Yves' body, "You know that potion , it is not used to obtain other people's memories - it is just to imitate the way of thinking. If it has not been lost for many years, this thing has long been used as a good tool for Aurors to catch prisoners - as much as possible to imitate where they escape next and what they use tools, and even do things! Come to think of it, it sounds exciting."

"Wait a minute, think about it this way, if you finish the formula of this potion, you can give the formula itself to Mrs Hornby directly," Dan Qi said as he tapped his palm, "Even without the thinking potion, I can be sure that this potion Something that will definitely please any discerning female Auror."

"That's right - the premise is that we can successfully improve the formula of that potion." Benelli said dejectedly.

"Maybe we can get more people to help and brainstorm."

"I don't think it makes any sense," Dan Qi rubbed his chin, "Professor Snape has been watching our actions, but he didn't say anything——if he can't do anything about that formula, then I think the entire school The heads of the students don't add up. I mean, while the old bat isn't very popular, we can't deny his knowledge of potions."

We looked at each other a few times, and felt that what Dan Qi said was reasonable, so we buried our heads and stared at the formula with a sad face.

"But, having said that..." I scratched my head: "Who made the rule that if the professor doesn't say anything, it means he has no ideas - that's Snape, students. We can't think of him like Flitwick The professor is so enthusiastic."

Benelli snapped his fingers: "That's right, Vincent—especially these days, your father and Snape are looking for trouble with each other. It would be strange if Snape could take the initiative to help us."

So I received three malicious looks, I leaned back, frowned and said, "Does it have something to do with me? It's not me who are fighting like two idiot children."

"Ah, that's true, but one is your dad and the other is someone who can help us," Florette said, handing me the parchment with the standard formula smeared all over it.

"I'll leave it to you to find a way to get the guidance of Professor Snape." Benelli threw the cloak I just took off into my arms: "The weather hasn't warmed up yet, so be careful of catching a cold."

"You want me to go now?" I squinted at him.

"Yeah, tomorrow is the Easter holiday, are you sure you want to disturb Professor Snape during the break? You will disturb him to wash his hair!" Danqi picked up my wand from the table, turned it back and handed it Give it to me: "Hold it well, maybe you will need it when you are running for your life."

"Hmm. Why do I need to run for my life?"

"Didn't you know? Oh, you didn't know - you went to Sirius' office just now - Professor Snape woke up this morning to receive six full sets of Mrs. Wonderful Enchanted Shampoo at [-]% off, and guess who gave them to of?"

I was silent for two seconds, then asked, "Why?"

"Probably because it's Mrs. Qili's birthday these few days." Florette said.

"I'm not asking you why Mrs. Chilly shampoo is on sale!" I really want to pour shampoo on his head right now, now his head is full of panicked little spiders trying to go home, not necessarily better than Snape Where is my hair?

"We presume it's because of the Potions lesson Snape gave to the second years yesterday afternoon," said Dench.

"Slow down, talk slowly, what happened yesterday?" In the past two days, my mind was full of memories of Helen and the crystal box, and I didn't pay attention to the gossip around me at all.

"He added an impromptu class called '36 Ways to Poison a Canine Creature Quickly' - but seriously, we didn't understand why Professor Black was so upset when he heard that, I mean , quite upset." Dan Qi emphasized with a convincing expression.

"Maybe he's a fanatical canine protector? Vincent, is he?" Benelli said the Muggle-related vocabulary correctly for the first time, but I didn't have the heart to praise him, I felt a little out of date .I went on to ask: "Why did Snape take that class?"

"Oh, we have a solid reason for this - yesterday morning Sirius somehow persuaded Mrs Hooch to adopt the Quidditch Pitch Loan Arrangement he made, which was only reserved for the Slytherin team for two weeks A borrowed opportunity." Dan Qi said: "But I think this is the right thing to do, Slytherin has always relied on the ups and downs of the court to score points, and it doesn't make much sense to give them too much time to train-could it be called them? Practicing hitting players in the stomach with a bat bat on one's own body?"

"Oh, that……"

Before I could finish my question, Benelli quickly replied: "The reason Sirius changed the Quidditch pitch schedule is that Professor Snape gave Potter and a few Weasley dunks in several Potions classes. A lot of points, and said that broomstick riders probably don't know how to use a cauldron; and Snape deducted points because Harry had a fight with him in Potions class, and Harry and Snape had a fight It was because Snape accused Harry of stealing his gillweed, and also mocked the dirty news about Granger in the wizard's weekly magazine-Skeet wrote it, yes-and Snape remembered mocking Greg Granger, supposedly because Granger told Malfoy he was a slick boy and other wonderful descriptions, including a shivering little ferret..."

"Slow down." I handed Benelli a cup of tea.

"By the way, I think Granger's adjectives are used very well." Florian interjected unhurriedly.

Benelli waved his hand to indicate that there was no need for a drink, took a deep breath, and continued like a tongue twister: "Granger and Malfoy had a conflict—sorry this has something to do with us—we slipped the tongue to Jessica , she knew that there was a Boyle in the school who didn't have an alibi when she was attacked at her house, so she wanted to go to Bruce to find out, but she couldn't find it, and then Weasley said that she knew about Bruce I had planned something with Malfoy, so I went to Malfoy to find out. Malfoy pushed Jessica down, and Jessica hit her head and went to the school doctor's office to rest assured that she was fine. Smugly saying it wasn't intentional but obviously it was - so Granger found out and scolded Malfoy before Potions class..."

I counted the teacup and took a sip silently.

"But it's not over yet!" Benelli gasped for breath with his fingers up, and then tortured his tongue: "Malfoy told Professor McGonagall that he pushed Jessica down after being dizzy after being punished by Sirius—little Sirius asked Malfoy to bathe the spiders left by Crouch, and Malfoy let those spiders go, but he called on a few servants and spent one night to find two-thirds of them. Spiders, by the way, later Sirius released those spiders who were bathed by Master Malfoy himself;

"As for Sirius wanting to punish Malfoy for confinement, it was purely finding fault, and Sirius found fault because Snape punished two Gryffindor students for confinement in the library after dinner the day before yesterday, and those two poor guys were just in the library. When the library praised Sirius’s education method, it was a little louder; when it came to Sirius’s education method, he satirized the sad education failure of a certain big-nosed teacher in Defense Against the Dark Arts class the afternoon before yesterday, and this "A certain teacher" laughed at the teacher's dining table at noon the day before yesterday. The photo on the arrest warrant for you is similar to the photo taken by Professor Black in Azkaban..."

"Stop, Benelli, stop talking." I really can't listen anymore, Benelli's posture is trying to trace this grievance back to the conflict between these two guys when they first met on the Hogwarts Express , and the story is too long.

"I'm going to find Professor Snape." I fastened my cloak, and prepared to leave the warm lounge with reluctance: "Benelli, don't you want to stay here comfortably and enjoy the fire. After all, this is your recipe—and I Let's find Snape together, and get up - for Merlin's sake, get your recipe done quickly, and maybe I can use it to find some shortcut so these two professors don't fight each other."

"You are whimsical," Dench set out wizard chess and prepared to play against Florette: "It's a matter of aura, dead knot. You can't find it if you try your best to match a typical Slytherin with a Gryffindor." More ways to shake hands and make peace."
