The qualifying exam... I don't know much about it. Sprout suggested, "Maybe we can see if Severus is free and ask him to give you some advice?" "

Seeing no objection from Dolores, she waved her wand and released a badger-shaped Patronus to deliver the message.A few minutes later, Severus arrived with a straight face.

"Severus, please make a trip." Sprout greeted him enthusiastically: "There is a student in our college - you must know - Dolores Murray, who wants to be a master of potions .Can you, the ready-made master, teach her a thing or two?"

"Murray—" Severus glanced at Dolores, "My suggestion is that she dismiss this idea as soon as possible."

Emerald Elixir ([-])

Sprout persuaded disapprovingly: "Oh, Severus, don't do this! The ideals of students need the support and encouragement of our teachers. I remember you mentioned that Murray's Potions scores are good, why can't he take a test Give it a try?"

"Being a good student doesn't mean you can become a qualified Potion Master." Severus looked at Dolores deliberately with critical eyes: "The four requirements made public by the International Potionists Association - Bowen, memorize , Inheritance, innovation, Murray, tell yourself, which one do you fit?"

"Severus, why don't you tell us what each request means?" Sprout chimed in.

"Bowen can recognize even rare medicines; memorize even complicated formulas can be recited. Inheritance can independently restore incomplete ancient prescriptions; innovation can independently invent new prescriptions or improve existing ones." West Fleurs' chin gradually raised, showing a very rare arrogance: "This is the four parts of the qualification exam. The first two parts are concentrated in half a day, and the last two parts have a one-year observation period. All the four parts are the same. If you fail to pass the exam, you will fail the exam, and you cannot apply again within five years."

"Oh, it's too strict! This test is not only about knowledge accumulation, but also invention talent and practical skills. No wonder there are not many potions masters in the world." Sprout turned to advise Dolores: "Dolores, look, why don't you think about it again? You don't have to give up, but you can take it as a long-term goal. After graduation, you should first achieve short-term goals, such as stable income, starting a family and starting a business, and then slowly Getting closer to the ultimate ideal."

"I will, Professor Sprout." Dolores didn't insist on this, but deliberately ignored Severus, but made a request to Sprout: "But the precious study time is in Huo In the past few years, can I get some help now to lay a better foundation for my future self-study?"

Sprout looked at Severus, "What do you mean?"

"Hmph, it's useless for me to promise now!" Severus flicked his cloak, showing a bit of impatience: "I have other important things, don't you mind if I delay things that can be discussed in the long run? Wait Let's talk about it after she enters my improvement class!"

"No problem, no problem." Sprout replied on behalf of Dolores: "She aspires to be a master of potions, why can't she even get into your advanced class? We just agreed!"

Sprout is indeed partial to the students of his own academy.Severus' ambiguous answer was directly interpreted by her as an affirmative answer.If Severus did not take the initiative to correct it, it would undoubtedly be tantamount to acquiescing; if he corrected it, he would lose face to the female professor who had also taught him for seven years.So his choice is self-evident, so that the footsteps of leaving are faintly irritated and depressed.

"Okay, honey, it's done. You've got an expert to help you!" Sprout blinked and smiled at Dolores.

From then on, the first priority for Dolores was to fully prepare for the Potions exam.Unable to do two things at once, she began to turn a deaf ear to all kinds of news triggered by the warriors.

It stands to reason that Rita Skeeter, who was the happiest among them, should make Dolores very disgusted, even hated, since she once published a book called "Severus Skeeter" after Severus' death. The book Nepe: Scoundrel or Saint is full of rumors and slanders, making him another celebrity in the wizarding world whose reputation has been tarnished after Armando Dippet and Albus Dumbledore.

However, Dolores was not angry anymore, she had avenged both Severus and herself.In St. Mungo's previous life, Skeeter had been infected with a certain skin disease for a period of time and needed to come regularly to get the medicine. He had learned that she was Dolores of the Animagus, and secretly mixed in her medicine in batches amnestic.This small action will not seek wealth or death, it will only accumulate over time, making her forget that she was originally a human being after a certain transformation.

The next development was as she wished.After Skeeter recovered from his skin disease, he disappeared from public view not long after. The Ministry of Magic had published several missing person notices, but who would want to find such a person?Knowing Dolores, whenever she saw a beetle again, she would give it a gratified smile, and then spray it with insecticide, wishing it an early death and early rebirth.

The exam week, which lasted for nearly a month, finally came. The Warriors and the students from the other two schools were envied and even envied because they were all exempted from the exam.When sitting in the auditorium on June 24th, all the students who have passed the test should be grateful for this arrangement, otherwise they will have the pressure of the test on their shoulders, and they will not be able to enjoy themselves watching the game.

But let Dolores say that the maze in the third item is not much more interesting than the second item, and people outside the maze can't see what's going on inside.They waited outside from evening until dark. If it wasn't for the dinner, many of them would have left the venue halfway.

The next development was almost a nightmare for everyone present.From the outburst of cheers for the sudden appearance of Harry Potter and Cedric, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.Potter announced that Voldemort was back, Fudge found Cedric dead, and Dolores, who was sitting next to the Diggory couple, witnessed the fall from comedy to tragedy.

Then there was chaos, Harry Potter was taken away by Moody, and Severus hurried away with Dumbledore and McGonagall.After a while, he went back and forth, calling Fudge away.This man who occupies the highest seat in the government department of the British wizarding world, was so frightened as if someone had put a knife on his neck, and he didn't forget to call a dementor as a bodyguard when he entered the castle.

The rest of the crowd dispersed in twos and twos under the comfort of Flitwick and Sprout. Dolores supported Grace, and Amos went to Sprout's office with Cedric on his back.She originally wanted to call Shangqiu Zhang, but this oriental girl was crying so hard that she didn't dare to look at her boyfriend's body, and was surrounded by a group of friends in the same hospital to comfort her.

In the office, Amos laid Cedric flat on the sofa, as carefully as if his son had just fallen asleep.Grace walked up to him and they hugged, head to head weeping.Sprout stood aside and spoke to them with a sympathetic face, hoping to ease their grief.

Dolores wiped her wet cheeks, took out a cotton handkerchief, knelt down in front of the sofa, and carefully wiped the dirt off Cedric's face.His remains were only of surprise that was caught off guard, and he probably passed away quickly without feeling any pain.

This might be a relief, but it was of no use to Dolores.She could now identify what she felt about his extra familiarity.As the first victim of Voldemort's comeback, newspapers will report his deeds, and history will remember his name.She had indeed heard of him in her previous life, but she didn't expect that in this life, he was an acquaintance by her side.

When the Diggory and his wife calmed down a little, they took their boy who died young through the fireplace.Sprout sighed, handed Dolores a small bouquet of dried lavender, and advised her to go to bed early and sleep well.Dolores nodded and walked back to the cellar in silence.

Unexpectedly, Dolores met Severus in the cellar corridor.His complexion was very bad, not because he was touched by the death of a student, but because of his usual resentment and disgust. She guessed that he saw his old enemy again.

Dolores looked at him, thinking of his death from Cedric's death, her fear was like a night owl's sharp claws, scratching her heart soaked in tears.

"Professor—" She strode over and hugged his waist tightly: "No, Severus, Severus..."

"It's you again, Murray!" Severus grabbed her shoulders and pulled her away: "What's wrong with you?"

"Professor, this time, I took Weedosoros." Dolores looked up at him with a pair of misty tearful eyes: "Are you willing to save me? Only you can save me..."

"What is grief!" Severus obviously understood the metaphor in her words: "Come with me—"

He dragged Dolores into the office, opened the private storage room next door, and took out a small bottle of emerald green liquid from the shelf to show her: "Do you know what this is?"

"Emerald Potion." Dolores stared almost fascinated at the sparkling green light refracted by the candlelight.As the name suggests, it is as beautiful as a liquid emerald.

"Also?"

"Drink of Despair."

"Yes, Water of Despair." Severus held the vial in his palm: "This potion cannot be penetrated, separated, destroyed, scooped up, withdrawn, deformed, or in any other way by hand, it can only be passed through Exhaustion, like despair, cannot be relieved, cannot be dispelled, cannot be ignored, cannot be changed, and can only be endured by man alone until the end of life."

"The herb of sorrow is as poisonous as despair
