I'm Malfoy's cat

Chapter 23 Potions

Zabini walked to the table, picked up a roll of parchment next to the bottle, and read it aloud.

"Danger ahead, safety behind. There are two of us who can help you.

Drink them, one will lead you forward, the other will send you back to where you came from.

Two contained nettle wine.

Three are killers, waiting in line.

Choose, unless you wish to procrastinate here forever.

We also provide four clues to help you choose: first, no matter how cunning the poison is, they are actually standing on the left side of the nettle wine; It will work for you; third, you will find that the bottles are of different sizes, and there is no death hidden in the giant and the dwarf; fourth, the second from the left and the second from the right, although they look different, taste the same. Zabini burst out laughing after finishing reading, "Typical Professor Snape's exam method, if you make a mistake, I will die." "

After listening to the content on the parchment, Hermione also raised the corners of her mouth slightly, "That's wonderful," Hermione said, "It's not magic—it's logical reasoning—it's a riddle. Many of the greatest wizards don't have the slightest With no talent for logical reasoning, they're stuck here forever."

Draco and Zabini stared at Hermione, "I think what you said is an obvious mistake, you must know that the one who came up with this riddle is a great Potions wizard," Draco said with a He retorted mockingly: "You are contradicting yourself at all, aren't you?"

"Ah, I'm sorry." Hermione apologized embarrassedly.

"So what are we going to do now? Are we going to be stuck here?" Ron asked.

"Of course not," said Hermione. "All we need to know is on this piece of paper. Seven bottles: three for poison; two for wine; one to get us safely through the black flames, and one Can send us back through the purple flame."

Hermione took the parchment from Zabini's hand, and said confidently, "Give me a minute, and I'll tell you the answer." Hermione read the paper several times.She walked up and down the row of bottles, talking to herself and pointing to this or that bottle.

Jemini quietly walked to Draco's side while everyone was looking at Hermione, patted Draco's calf with his paw, and stood upright when Draco looked down at him, Stretching out two front paws, motioned for Draco to pick him up.

"You smell like vomit now." Draco muttered disgustedly, but he still reluctantly picked up Jemini and held him away from him.

Jemini narrowed his eyes and looked at Draco who looked disgusted, his hands were shaking when he held you up like this!

Draco was speechless about Jemini's weight that had gone up in a straight line just like sitting on Nimbus 2000 recently, his hands were shaking almost as soon as he lifted Jemini up, especially when he was riding a broom just now. The stiff left hand almost let go.

Draco had no choice but to compromise and hugged Jemini in his arms.

Jemini crawled onto Draco's shoulder, and whispered to Draco, "The smallest bottle is a potion from the past, what should I do if it's not enough?"

Draco, who had always had no hope for Jemini's IQ, raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Are you sure?"

Then Hermione clapped her hands happily. "Got it," she said, "this smallest bottle will help us pass through the black flames—to get to the Philosopher's Stone."

Draco looked at Jemini who was still lying on his shoulders in surprise, he didn't expect him to have such a thing as IQ.

Harry looked at the smallest bottle, feeling a bit embarrassed, "There's too little potion in it, it's only enough for three people to take a sip at most."

The five people looked at each other, and none of them had any intention of quitting, and they all continued to move forward.

Looking at everyone's unyielding eyes, Harry's head was about to grow big, "It seems that we have to find some way to let all of us pass by."

Jemini had anticipated this situation a long time ago, and he whispered to Draco: "Put some water in the bottle, it's enough for everyone to drink."

Jemini, who has been drinking watered wine for a lifetime in Datianchao, said that if you mix some water and sell it at the original price, the effect will be just as good.But Draco, who grew up in England in the 90s, said that he was shocked when he first heard that the potion could be mixed with water.

"It's impossible!" Draco directly refuted Jemini without even thinking about it, so quickly that Jemini rolled his eyes, what an innocent child.

"What's impossible?" Harry looked at Draco strangely, "I think if we think about it carefully, we can still find a way to pass through the black flame."

Draco didn't pay attention to his voice for a moment, so that Harry thought Draco was talking about him.

"I don't think it's possible." Zabini looked calmly at the potion in the smallest bottle, "We don't have a potion master here to boil a pot of potion for us on the spot."

"Maybe we can mix some water in the potion or something, so that everyone can drink it." Draco finally had to follow Jemini's way.

A group of people expressed their shock when they heard this method.

"It's impossible!" Zabini, who had the same reaction as Draco, looked at Draco in a daze, as if he was looking at some monster.

And Hermione asked another question, "Will the effect of the medicine not be changed?" She frowned, and said uncertainly: "Or to reduce the effect, I have never read about this method in books before." been."

"The effect of mitigating the medicine is certain, but as long as we run fast, we can pass through this flame." Draco told everyone as Jemini said with an almost expressionless face. Bad idea.

Harry looked around and said suddenly, "Let's do it this way. Get some water and mix it up."

"I don't think that's a good idea." Ron contorted as he watched Harry pick up the bottle.

"When I was young, I often took Dudley's leftover fruit juice and mixed it with water. Even if it was mixed with water, it tasted very good." Harry said lightly about his childhood, holding the small bottle in his hand, and handed it to him. Hermione, "I'm not familiar with these magics."

It was unexpected for Draco to suddenly tell Harry about his previous experience, and for the young master who was spoiled since he was a child, it was unimaginable for Harry to say things, Draco didn't even know what to say , can only remain silent like Zabini.

"I need something, there is no cup here, we can only use the Transfiguration Charm." Hermione held the small bottle and looked at Draco and Zabini who were wearing many ornaments.

"We haven't learned the Transfiguration Charm yet, Hermione, I can't even conjure needles now." Ron looked at Hermione in disbelief, "Have you even learned what we need to learn in the second grade in advance? ?!"

"As part of a family full of wizards, hasn't anyone in your family used magic in front of you?" Zabini asked Ron in the same unbelievable voice, although the sarcasm in the words was more Heavy.

"Uh, I have used it, but I don't remember it."

Draco and Zabini friendly contributed some decorative accessories on their bodies. Under the magic of the three, Draco, Zabini and Hermione, six strange-shaped cups were created. For these cups , Draco said that their only function is really to drink water, they are too ugly.

"clear water like a spring"

Everyone drank the potion mixed with water.Draco felt that a cold current emanated from his throat and spread to his whole body, and Draco couldn't help shivering.

The others didn't feel too well, and Hermione hugged her shoulders directly.

"Okay, I'll try it," Harry shivered after drinking the medicine, he walked to the side of the black flame tremblingly, and stretched out his hand cautiously.

Everyone held their breath and looked at him.
