[HP] Sickness and Medicine

After leaving, the frustration of the confession attempt made Dolores depressed for several days.However, she wasn't particularly worried about the various consequences of being watched by others. Severus and Dumbledore had paved a way for her to retreat. Everyone present at that time would believe that she was driven by the potion, and she was not really at odds with Severus. Not clear.

However, in the first Defense Against the Dark Arts class in the first week of school, Moody blatantly picked on Dolores for a mistake. Although no college points were deducted, she was detained for punishment.Kara was now more afraid of Moody who taught the Unforgivable Curse than Severus, and Dolores comforted her to leave first, facing this old Auror who had never concealed his wariness and disgust for Severus.

"Miss Dolores Murray—" Moody leaned on a long cane, leaned on the desk and looked at her: "I know, you went to Snape's office to confess to him a few days ago. Because he drank some kind of potion. Although Snape is ugly, it is undeniable that he has the ability to seduce ignorant female students."

Delirium ([-])

"No, Professor." Dolores retorted pretending to be calm: "I was not tricked..."

"Then there is another possibility." Moody's blue prosthetic eyes turned: "I heard that you are good at potions, and you must appreciate potions masters who are more capable than you. As for Snape, you You confuse admiration with admiration."

Dolores pursed her lips, but did not speak.She has no way to refute, on the one hand because this is probably the most reasonable interpretation in the eyes of all those in the know, and on the other hand, it is because she was attracted to him at the beginning of her previous life, it may not be due to the talent he showed.However, it may be difficult for men to understand that in women, worship and admiration can coexist.

"Forget it!" Moody changed his words suddenly: "I will only teach you this year, and it would be disgusting for me to ask about this kind of thing. You go back!"

Dolores couldn't help being stunned: "Huh? Professor, about the punishment..."

"Hufflepuff is honesty." Moody changed his words again: "Then you answer a few questions for me. If you answer them, you will pass the test."

"Professor, please tell me!" Dolores raised her heart secretly.

Moody's prosthetic eye was spinning restlessly again: "If the wizard is forced to stay in the water, how does he solve the breathing problem?"

"He can use the Bubble Curse and Transfiguration." Although she couldn't see the connection between this question and what she had learned in class, Dolores still gave the answer cautiously and quickly.

"These are all advanced spells, advanced transfiguration, what if this wizard is not skilled enough?"

"Then transfigure with a potion. Oh, I don't mean Polyjuice Potion, but another class of potions that can transform a person, in whole or in part, into other biological forms."

"This is also a high-level potion, what if he can't survive it?"

"You can buy it."

"He has no money, oh, I mean, what if he can't afford it or can't wait? Can't you think of something more convenient and effective? Like some kind of herbal medicine?"

He couldn't make the hint more obvious, and Dolores quickly responded: "Use Gillywater, professor, a magical plant that can partially deform the user to adapt to breathing and swimming in water."

"Very good." Moody was finally satisfied: "Describe."

Dolores relaxed a little. This is the content of herbal medicine in the fifth grade, and the answer is only for review: "It is gray-green, sticky and slippery, and looks like a bunch of tangled mouse tails. It belongs to animal-like magic. plant."

"Let's talk about how to get it."

"The gills grass is native to the Mediterranean Sea. It is a magic plant that can only grow in salty water. Although the yield is not high, it is not rare. However, due to the difficulty of preserving the whole plant, it will either become the private collection of the potion master, Or it is extracted into essence, which is circulated in the market and used for making potions and drinks."

"Very detailed." Moody knocked on his crutches: "Have you seen the real thing?"

"You mean the complete gills?" Dolores nodded hesitantly: "I've seen..."

"Have a good relationship with a potion master?"

"No, it's at Professor Snape's."

"Is it in the student locker for class?"

"no……"

"what is that?"

Dolores was terrified by his prosthetic eyes, and had to tell the truth: "His private storage room."

"Okay." Moody got up with his crutches: "You go. I'll let you go this time, and I won't go into it anymore. I don't think you will publicize our question and answer to everyone, will you?"

"No. Goodbye, then, Professor!"

Dolores, who left Moody's office, was a little suspicious.He is a teacher of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, why is he so concerned about the herbal medicine test center?

Dolores' doubts were answered when Bagman announced the competition rules for the second event on February 24th.She watched as Harry Potter swallowed something, chewing hard as he stepped cautiously into the water, amidst the cheers of the four brave men.She easily guessed that he was eating gills.

So, Moody ended up getting gillsweed from Severus - in order to cheat Potter?Would the impartial old Auror do anything to win Hogwarts?She felt offended by him again, and even lost interest in watching the game.

After more than an hour of cold wind blowing by the Black Lake, the second project ended. Potter came from behind and accumulated considerable points, not the first place with Cedric.

Bagman announced that the third project would be held on June 24, and there was a howl in the fifth and seventh grade seats, because they had to pass the Ordinary Wizarding Level Examination and the Ultimate Wizarding Examination for two weeks in early June.There were complaints from other year groups as well, with school exams week also ahead.

Under the pressure of exams, not only the fifth and seventh graders themselves have to pay attention, the professors are also becoming more and more strict in class, and the homework after class is even more relentless.As one of them, Dolores has little time to grieve.She has no advantage over other students. The last time she took the Ordinary Wizarding Level Exam was more than 200 years ago in her memory. She couldn't even remember the exam session at that time, and she had to learn all the knowledge points for the exam.

After Easter passed, brochures and leaflets of many work units arrived with the daily newspapers delivered by owls, and quickly circulated among the senior students.The first thing Dolores noticed was the familiar sign of St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Wounds. The crossed wands and bones were similar to the Muggle red cross.

"Dolly, you like potions so much, do you plan to be a pharmacist?" Kara also picked up a St. Mungo's leaflet: "Oh, those who are recruiting a healer require potions, herbalism, transfiguration, Charms and Defense Against the Dark Arts have achieved at least E, so the requirements for a pharmacist must be O in the first two subjects?"

"No, the same requirements." Dolores knows this very well: "Most of the hospital's daily needs are potions of beginner to intermediate difficulty, and the level of E is enough. Advanced potions are rarely used, so you can ask for magic potions. The master makes the move."

"Well, then Dolly, you must be fine!"

"No. St. Mungo is less demanding, but Professor Snape is more demanding."

"Ah, yes. If you can't get an O in Potions in the ordinary wizarding level exam, you won't be able to enter his advanced class, and you won't even be eligible to take the exam when you graduate."

Dolores sighed silently.Compared with Slughorn's E threshold for raising the class, Severus is really too strict.More importantly for her, without thinking about the Ultimate Wizarding Examination and employment, if she didn't get an O in the Ordinary Wizarding Levels, she would never be able to take Severus's classes for the remaining two years.

But when the employment consultation notice came down, she had no choice but to let go of her near-term worries and focus on future concerns for the time being.The appointment she got was on a Friday afternoon, and Sprout arranged the place in a greenhouse, surrounded by green leaves and flowers, which always effectively eased the students' anxiety.

So she also mustered up the courage to express her expectations for the future: "I want to take the potion master qualification and become a freelancer."

"You want to become a master of potions?" Sprout was very surprised: "This is a very ambitious goal. But why don't you start as a full-time pharmacist in a hospital or a pharmacy?"

"I noticed that in the past two years, no such leaflets have been sent to the school. The demand for talents in this area is probably saturated." Dolores replied.

She understands the market.Unlike therapists, the turnover cycle of pharmacists is extremely long and the frequency is extremely low.As a healer, there are high requirements for the storage of magic power and the accuracy of casting spells, so elderly healers will often retire actively or passively; Can continue to shine in the post.They are like potion production machines, as long as they are not completely scrapped, they can work until death.

When Dolores looked back on her life in her later years, she also found how monotonous and boring life was.If the fire of love in her heart hadn't been extinguished, and if she hadn't won Eli's adoption right, her soul would have been washed by the long river of time into a cup of tasteless, odorless, warm water.If she is reborn like this, she will definitely regard it as a Sisyphus-style punishment rather than an Orpheus-style adventure, and she will take the initiative to throw herself into the embrace of death.

In addition to these superficial and deep motivations, the reason why she gave up becoming a pharmacist was that when her surname was Mitchell, she did not have a colleague with the same name as Murray.Even if she is trying to do something within the established framework of memory, some obvious facts, she still has to strictly abide by them.
