[HP+Shenxia] Unexpected encounter

Chapter 16 Halloween and Trolls

Days passed, and Sylvia's soul container and Christie's formation had made progress, but Aurora's soul-weakening elixir hadn't made any progress. The main problem was that there was no corresponding medicinal material.Under the suggestion of several other people, Aurora tried to research from the direction of potion, but everyone was a beginner to potion, so Aurora could only ask for advice at the risk of being discovered by Snape.

Aurora walked to the Potions Office and knocked on the door. Snape stood at the door aggressively, "Dear Miss Holmes, you better have something important to do, otherwise your behavior will get you a confinement."

"Professor, I'm here this time to ask you some questions." Aurora hugged her own research results during this time.

Snape glanced at the documents in Aurora's hand, turned around and walked into the office. From the corner of his eye, he saw Aurora standing at the door pretending to be aggrieved, and said sarcastically, "Does the honorable Miss Holmes still want you?" The humble Potions Master invites you in?"

Aurora immediately walked into the office with a smile, and closed the door smoothly. Snape was already sitting in his seat, "Miss Holmes, who is always changing, what questions do you want to ask this time?"

Aurora didn't care about Snape's tone of sarcasm or something, she found a seat and sat down on her own, and said her reason before Snape sprayed the venom, "It's like this, I Recently, I am researching the effects of potions on the soul. I don’t know if you can help me, Professor.”

Snape glanced at Aurora and motioned her to show him the information, "Why do you have such a problem?"

Aurora hurriedly handed the information to Snape, and said distressedly: "My idea comes from the saying in the Eastern Hua Kingdom that people will become ghosts after death. If they stay in the world and cannot leave as soon as possible, then the ghosts will slow down. Slowly weakening or even disappearing. So I wondered whether the potion could enhance the power of the weakening souls. If so, since it can increase the strength, it can also weaken the strength. It’s just that there is too little information on this aspect, Hua It is mentioned in the book of traditional Chinese medicine that wild ginseng is the medicine that can strengthen the human soul. Wild ginseng has the essence of heaven, earth, sun and moon. The exuberance of the gods. The specifics are yet to be tested."

"As for the Hogwarts library, I searched almost everywhere except the restricted area, and found 'unicorn blood, which has the effect of restoring the body from the soul state', but the book didn't say that drinking the unicorn What kind of changes will happen to the soul after the blood, so there is no reference point at all."

Snape flicked through the documents in his hand, listening to Aurora's complaints from time to time, the more he listened, the more he was shocked. He couldn't believe that such an 11-year-old girl could have such unique insights, although some places were not rigorous enough, There was no evidence to support it, but for a child of her age, it was considered very good, which made Snape have a new view of Aurora again.

Aurora couldn't make alchemy at home because of the problem of medicinal materials. She had studied the replacement of medicinal materials with Chinese herbal medicines before, but many Chinese medicinal materials are artificially cultivated, which are far less powerful than wild medicinal materials. They often use such artificially cultivated medicinal materials to refine The effect of the pill that came out was not very good.But now Aurora doesn't care about so much, first make the elixir, and then find a way to condense and compress it to improve the efficacy of the elixir.

In the following days, Aurora ran to the cellar whenever she had time.Snape approved Aurora to read the note in the restricted area, and recommended basic related books, and Aurora quickly found the direction of research.Snape was indeed the youngest master of potions in Europe. He could solve many problems that Aurora couldn't find his way with a little thought. Seeing this situation, Aurora came to the cellar more diligently.

Snape watched helplessly as Tian Tian ran towards the cellar cheekily, as if he regarded himself as Aurora in the mobile library.The venom he sprayed on Aurora didn't seem to have any effect, and as a professor, he couldn't drive away the students who asked questions.So scolding, scolding could not go away, and it was impossible to drive people away, Snape acquiesced in Aurora's move to the cellar.

Besides, Aurora's handling of potions was quite good. When Snape was too busy, he caught Aurora who came to the cellar and asked her to help brew some potions or prepare materials for class.

On the eve of Halloween, the whole Hogwarts was filled with the sweet smell of roasted pumpkin, which made Aurora and Christie, who didn't like pumpkins, collapse.

When the dinner party came, Aurora and Elvira just walked into the auditorium, and they saw colorful Halloween decorations, a thousand bats fluttering on the walls and ceiling, and another thousand bats were like a bunch of low Dark clouds swirled and danced above the dining table, making the candle flames in the pumpkin belly flicker.Delicacy pops up on golden plates, just like at the back-to-school feast.

After greeting Christie, Sylvia, and Doris, Aurora and Elvira sat at the long Slytherin table for dinner, but Aurora saw Christie leaving the dinner midway, and she didn't know where she went.

Just as they were enjoying a wonderful dinner, Quirrell suddenly rushed into the restaurant, his big scarf on his head, his face full of horror.He yelled, "Trolls! In the dungeon!" and fell on the floor, unconscious.

Aurora looked at Qi Luo lying on the ground with trembling eyelids, twitched the corners of her mouth, approached Elvira, and spoke in a tone that only she could hear, "This acting skill, if you put it in Gongdouju..."

Elvira answered tacitly, "I can't survive one episode."

There was chaos in the dining room.Dumbledore had to make several piercing pyrotechnic explosions from the tip of his wand to silence everyone.

"Prefect," he said in a low voice, "immediately lead the students of your college to the dormitory!" All the prefects got up one after another and fulfilled their responsibilities.

Just when Aurora and Aurora were about to leave, Aurora seemed to think of something, "Avella, what about the bottle of life and death water that you accidentally mixed with Ruanjinsan before? You brought it with you ?"

"No, what are you asking it for?" Elvira took out the bottle of water of life and death from the storage ring provided by Sylvia.

"Make trouble!" Aurora took the water of life and death and ran to Snape's place with a worried expression on her face, followed by Elvira Little Tail.

Snape looked at Aurora and Elvira who were running towards him with a dark face, "I believe that the ears of the two ladies are not decorations, why didn't you follow the prefect back to the waiting room!"

Elvira didn't dare to look directly at Snape at all, Aurora ignored Snape's death gaze, and she looked worriedly at Quirrell who fell on the ground with her acting skills on the line, "Professor, we can't let Professor Quirrell lie here , this is too dangerous, he should be sent to the medical wing. This is the 'water of life and death' we made, I hope Professor Quirrell can drink it, so that Professor Quirrell can sleep soundly and soundly. I'm going to have nightmares." After speaking, Aurora handed the bottle of perfect potion to Snape.

Snape noticed Aurora's tone of saying "the water of life and death", he took the potion in silence for a while, and asked in a low voice, "What's the 'side effect'?"

"Cough, this is indeed the water of life and death, but there are some more things. I think I may have to self-study the Defense Against the Dark Arts class tomorrow. Also, I may have to go to the medical wing under your leadership tomorrow to apologize." Laura glanced at Snape's expressionless face, while Elvira lowered her head guiltily.

Snape and Aurora's eyes met, Snape nodded: "You wait for me here, I will send you back later."

After this conversation, the students in the auditorium had already left. For the safety of the students of his college, Snape decided to let them wait here and send them back by himself later.Since no one would go to the history of magic in troubled waters, why should I be so nervous. As for the troll that was said to be in the underground classroom, Snape didn't believe it.

Snape fed Quirrell with the potion, and then asked Professor Sprout to help Quirrell to the medical wing.Only then did he take Aurora and Elvira away unhurriedly.

"what!"

In the corridor, Aurora and Elvira, who were following Snape back to the Slytherin lounge, heard a scream.

"Follow me, don't run around." Snape took out his wand and looked in the direction of the sound.Just when the two of Aurora were about to respond obediently, another voice came: "Christie, be careful!"

"Avella, you follow Professor Snape." Aurora didn't care about Snape's expression, left Avella and ran towards the direction of the sound, during which time she cast an acceleration spell on herself.

"Damn it! Miss Brown, I don't want you to run around too!" Snape reflected and followed Elvira to chase after him.

When Aurora ran into the girls' bathroom, she saw Harry and Ron standing at the door in shock. A twelve-foot-tall, foul-smelling monster was holding a huge wooden club into the corner. Hermione and Aurora waved.In the corner, Christie stood in front of Hermione. Because the position was too narrow, it was easy to accidentally injure herself, so Christie used several obstacles to block the progress of the troll.

"Petrify everything!" Aurora cast a petrification spell on the troll, but it had no effect, it just slowed down the troll's movement, and it didn't work after a while. Fortunately, it diverted the troll's attention.

Seeing the troll walking towards her, Aurora signaled with her eyes that Christie would bring Hermione over if she had the chance, and then cooperated with her.

"Quickly imprisoned!"

"There are many obstacles!"

Aurora saw that there was a certain distance between Christie and Hermione in the troll, and nodded slightly to Christie, and used a quick confinement on the troll. A thick rope was shot from the tip of Aurora's wand, binding the troll, and Christie made up for it. Overcoming a lot of obstacles, he immediately dragged Hermione to the vicinity of Aurora.

"Passed out!"

When Snape arrived with Elvira, he saw Aurora and Christie, who had fainted at the troll, and the troll in the middle of the bathroom staggered a few steps, face down "slap" fell to the ground.The loud bang shook the whole house.

At this time, Professor McGonagall also arrived, "Merlin! What happened?"

"Miss Holmes, you rush forward when you encounter danger. Is your troll pretending to be full of achnatherum? One month's confinement." Snape looked at the uninjured students present, and sarcastically said to Aurora.

"Please don't do this, Professor Snape—Miss Holmes is looking for me." Hermione tried to explain to Aurora.

Professor Snape bent over the troll, hexed it a few times, and then glanced at Hermione.

"Oh, Miss Granger. Of course I know she came here because of you." Professor Snape continued coldly, and quickly gouged out Aurora with a threatening gaze, "After all, I was here in Holmes at the time." Beside Miss, after hearing your scream, Miss Holmes' mind assimilated by the troll ran over to save the beauty regardless of the danger."

Hearing what Snape said, Hermione opened her mouth, bowed her head and stood aside silently.

While defending herself, Aurora did not forget to give Snape a hand, "Professor Snape, I didn't come here to save people out of passion, I have the ability to protect myself. Besides, didn't you Behind me, I believe you will be able to arrive before we are in danger."

Professor Snape snorted coldly: "Anyway, for your recklessness, you will be locked up for a month from tomorrow. But..." Professor Snape changed his tone, not letting go of anyone who could give Slytherin points Chance, "Ten to Slytheringa, for Miss Holmes' help to her classmates."

Seeing that Professor Snape had already dealt with the matter of Slytherin, Professor McGonagall had a serious face and said, "Then why did you show up here, Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, Miss Edward and Miss Granger?" here?"

Hermione looked at Christie, who was aggrieved by herself, and lowered her head without saying a word.

Seeing this, Professor McGonagall turned to Christie: "Miss Edward, I hope you will tell me the truth."

Christie glanced at Ron, and then said, "After Charms class was over today, Mr. Weasley complained that Hermione was too domineering and no one could stand her. No wonder she has no friends. Hermione happened to hear, I ran away crying. I didn’t see Hermione in this afternoon’s class. It wasn’t until the Halloween dinner that someone said that Hermione was hiding in the women’s room crying, so I came to comfort her. So this is me and Hermione The reason for appearing here."

When Christie complained to Hermione, Hermione's head was lowered and never raised.After listening to Christie's story, Professor McGonagall pursed his lips, and glared at Ron who was standing aside very angrily, "I didn't expect such a thing to happen in Gryffindor! Miss Granger, he It's not worth your heartache. Don't worry, I will let Mr. Weasley give you an explanation. Miss Holmes, thank you for your help. And there are very few first-year students who can compete with a grown-up troll , you earned ten points for Slytherin. And Miss Edward, for your love and protection of your classmates, Gryffindor will give you ten points."

"Okay, if you're not injured at all, go back to the waiting room. I don't want to see you wandering in the corridor when I've dealt with these matters." Professor Snape looked at him coldly. watching them.

Everyone hurried out of the room, went down the stairs without saying a word, and walked to the lounge.They breathed a sigh of relief until they could no longer smell the stench from the troll.The four girls walked ahead and Harry and Ron followed silently behind them.

"Thank you, Miss Holmes." Hermione thanked Aurora.

"It's okay, if you and Christie are friends, then we are also friends. Just call me Aurora." Aurora stabbed Ron silently.

Hermione apologized, "Then Aurora, you can also call me Hermione, but Professor Snape punished you for a month of confinement..."

Christie comforted Hermione, "You don't have to worry about her, Aurora used to run to the cellar every day, asking this and that, Professor Snape probably bored her to death."

Aurora winked at Hermione amusedly, "Yeah, don't worry, I'll be able to go to the cellar to ask questions this month. Besides, I won twenty points for Slytherin, it's worth it. "

Elvira also smiled and leaned over to repair Ron who was silently following behind, "Hermione, you can call me Elvira too, I can be your friend too. You are so smart, I believe everyone understands A reasonable Slytherin would love to be your friend."

The Defense Against the Dark Arts class on the second day was changed to a self-study class, because when poor Professor Quirrell woke up from the medical wing the next day, he found that his muscles and bones were weak, let alone going to class, and it was difficult to even get out of bed .For this reason, under the leadership of Snape, Aurora went to see him specially, and expressed apology for her poor academic skills.

Afterwards, according to Elvira who was watching the scene, Aurora was on the verge of crying in the medical wing that day, and she exuded the breath of a white lotus flower, more like she came out of a house fight drama than herself.

"I'm sorry, Professor Quirrell, I... woohoo, I didn't mean it, I'm sorry for that. I believe that under Madam Pomfrey's treatment, you will be able to return to normal soon... woohoo, everything Blame me for not being good at learning, I believe that you who are kind will forgive me..." During the speech, Aurora looked at Quirrell with tearful eyes expectantly many times.

After leaving the door of the medical wing, Snape saw Aurora's one-second face-changing skill again, and said silently: "It seems that I underestimated you."

Originally, Aurora's clever face-changing skills in front of him were enough to amaze him. After all, when he didn't touch his bottom line, this face-changing skills often made him obey Aurora's wishes and agree to some of her small requests.I didn't expect her to have such acting skills... and she respects every professor and even the administrator Filch, but she has an inexplicable dislike for Quirrell. It seems that I have to observe her carefully.

Aurora grinned, "It's easy to say, it's because you taught me well."
