[HP] Missy and Mischief

"It's hard to imagine that someone would spend twelve pages writing how to squeeze the pods of the pimple vine," George said, looking upside down at the textbook in her hand, and sighed, "It's even harder to imagine that Newts. This thing."

Cassandra tapped him with the spine of the book, and simply ordered: "Recite according to the key points I drew, and you will at least get an A."

"What? The point is to underline every sentence—" George took the book and turned to the page where she was taking notes, screaming.

Fred laughed gloatingly beside him.He didn't take herbal medicine class this school year, so he missed the torture of a course.

Cassandra gave a loud and disdainful "hum", and decided not to argue with the two red-haired "not here".Instead, she pulled out the "Wizard Weekly" from her bag and continued reading.Up until this point, she'd felt that gossip mags weren't much to read except for celebrity affairs, but when the twins said their mom, Molly, would also learn some useful housekeeping spells from the sidebar, she decided to check it out for herself.

"Major events in the wizarding world that you can't miss... little secrets of the great people...a beauty spell every week... small magic tricks for housework... introducing strange and magical animals and plants?" Cassandra paused when she turned to this page. After that, she began to look at the wonderful herbal knowledge about other lands, sentence by paragraph.

What caught her attention more than herbal science was an announcement on the back cover:

The 27th Young Plant Pharmacist Competition will start accepting submissions in a few days. All wizards aged 15-25 who have experience in the cultivation of magical plants and can play a new role in the field of potion research can participate.This year's competition is co-hosted by Tilden Toots, Phyllida Spurr and Libasio Pollage, and the ten winning wizards will receive letters of recommendation from three masters of pharmacy.

"Porachi's letter of recommendation!" Cassandra exclaimed in a low voice, "but why is such an important match only advertised in gossip magazines?"

"What game? Oh——" George rolled over and got up with his messy red head, "'Green Thumb' Toots, who often promotes his plant series monsters in his radio show "Toots Roots and Sprouts Show" Medicine. And who is Pollachi?"

Cassandra gave him a sideways look: "I can't expect you to remember anything more than Owls., can you? Master Pollage is one of the most famous pharmacists in the world, and is currently in Castelbu, South America. Rosher teaches. He wrote our textbook Advanced Potion-Making."

"—wait, so you're interested in a competition that requires writing a forty-foot thesis?" Fred asked incredulously, leaning over.

"The winner will get a joint recommendation letter, which is more important than Newts. If you want to join the European Pharmacists Association in advance, this will be a glorious touch on your resume." Cassandra said arrogantly, "You don't Believe in my strength?"

As early as when Professor Snape gave her employment guidance, "magic plant breeder", "herbal medicine pharmacist" and "herbology professor" had been included in Cassandra's future career consideration list, and now it is time to graduate With just over a year left, she naturally had to make plans in advance.

Fred hastened to express that he had absolutely no intention of it.

Cassandra put one hand on the bench and moved closer to him, rubbing his long red hair with the other.He didn't seem to be used to such an intimate gesture, he was shy for a moment, then lowered his head actively, as if to make it easier for her to pass her fingertips through the red hair, and said quickly: "I just feel too Hard work. Is there anything we can do to help?"

"—For example, to help with drug experiments and so on. You know, our products are also tested on ourselves before we dare to sell them." George explained.

"It's Merlin's pity that you are still alive and well." Cassandra shook her head and said, "But the Apparition exam will be on April 21. You can take the exam for the Department of Magical Transportation when you become an adult, but I We need to wait until next year, and we can use this time to study the fire dragon vines you sent us."

The gift the twins gave Cassandra for Christmas was a box of seeds/pods of an unknown plant. They are amazing in that they look very similar to miniature dragon eggs, but the plants that can grow are Lian Sprout Brand new varieties that even the professor hadn't seen - because they were bought by the dark wizards in Knockturn Alley, not the Slugger & Ziggs pharmacy in Diagon Alley.

"Don't worry, Charlie is the only one in our family who will Apparate over the head of the old lady five miles away during the exam—"

George shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "——and we have already mastered the apparition technology last summer vacation, and it is more important to help you water the loose soil of the plants—by the way, the dark place in the Slytherin dormitory is really Can it grow out?"

The twin brothers looked at each other and laughed unanimously.

"Damn it, I was raised in a greenhouse from herbal medicine class!" Cassandra said sullenly.But in front of Fred and George, it was difficult for her to remain serious for more than ten seconds—

At last she couldn't help laughing, and kissed them quickly, one after the other, on the lips.

"For Skeeter's slander and our heroic devotion to your research—"

"—shouldn't we each be rewarded with a deep French kiss?" Fred protested.

"Sorry gentlemen, I'm technically a German."

………………

Cassandra went to the dark old bat to discuss the direction of potions, potions of healing, potions of wisdom, potions of emotions, poisons, potions of transformation... just to determine the topic, it is necessary to spend a lot of effort on the research of plants. characteristics, Professor Snape is even more sophisticated than Libasio Pollach in this aspect of research.

Fred and George went to the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office.When the previous owners of the office were here, they all left their own traces - for example, Lockhart used to paste pictures of himself smiling and winking at the camera on the wall, and Professor Lupine would place some fresh black magic animals ...and Professor Moody chose to keep a lot of oddities in his office.

Fred was clearly interested in them, but George turned his attention to someone else in the office.

That was Karkaroff.

The greasy goatee principal was obviously discussing some important matter with Moody, his voice was low and trembling slightly, he stopped talking immediately after hearing the knock on the door, and looked at them uneasily.

Moody, however, had no desire to explain this, and he told the twins to "wait in the office for a while, don't touch me," and dragged—or dragged Karkaroff—out the door.

"It's a looking glass?" Fred eyed with interest what looked like a cracked glass spinning top on Moody's desk.

On the corner of another small table, there is a strange thing, which looks a bit like a golden antenna, but it is very twisted, and it keeps making a soft humming sound.

George grunted softly, "I guess it's a detector, for dark magic and curses or something."

On the wall opposite them was a demon mirror, which did not reflect the scene in the room. There were many dark figures dangling around inside, but they were all blurry and unrecognizable. *

Moody is back.

"You guys like my Defense Against the Dark Arts stuff, don't you?" Moody said, taking a good look at the twins before saying, "Secret finders don't do much good in school, ha! Homework made up lies and it kept buzzing...so I had to break the looking glass or it would keep honking and screaming."

"That's why you moved to live in a deserted place?"

"Yeah, the looking glass is so sensitive that it can detect movement within a mile radius." Moody said in a hoarse voice, his eyes fixed on Fred and George respectively, "Then, what is the purpose of your visit today?" And what? It can't be about homework..."

The twins faltered for a while, and seemed a little embarrassed about what they were going to say next.

In the end, Fred bravely chose to be the beak with a subtle expression:

"It's like this—Dear Mr. Moody, we know that all your scars come from fighting dark wizards desperately, just to send them to Azkaban—"

"—No offense intended, we all admire you, but we still want to know, how did your magic eye come about?"

George gave Fred a push, and they gave Moody a ostentatious insubstantial hat-off.

Moody gave a short, hoarse laugh, sat down, and moaned, straightening the wooden leg.

"It's not just the two of you who are curious about this... Tonks asked me that on the first day he joined the Auror Division. Disrespectful little girl."

"We're not just curious, but we want to learn something, Professor," said Fred. "I guess it's an alchemy item?"

"Then what is its principle?" George continued with a smile, "If you are willing, it would be even better to teach us a curse."

Moody grinned: "I have no intention of telling you to get out of my office, children. After that operation that blinded one eye, Dumbledore helped me contact Master Flamel, and he helped to do it." This tailor-made eyeball was produced. I guess the first condition for making this thing should be that it is consistent with the shape of the original organ so that it is convenient to add spells."

He let out another hoarse dry laugh, and his blue magic eyes rolled around, as if responding to his words, "Damn curses... Speaking of which, Karkaroff is much better at it than me, but he is such a timid person , never willing to use it where it can be seen by others.”

"Then why did he come to you?" Fred blurted out, and it was too late to shut up.

But Moody doesn't seem to care.He said gruffly, "Certainly came to me to find clues for the third level... Cheating, a traditional part of the Triwizard Tournament. They want to win like crazy. But I can indeed teach you a little lesson Things you can't learn at school..."

……

Fred and George stayed in his office for a whole afternoon, and learned an extremely rare and unpopular spell: Occlumency, a magical defense specially used to protect the mind from outside intrusion, and the eccentricity does not affect its goodness at all. degree of use.

They leave almost contentedly with a big harvest.As he was leaving, George looked curiously at the huge box under the window, which had seven keyholes lined up in a row.

Moody catches his gaze and seems to twitch nervously, or pain from an old injury—whatever.

The author has something to say:

Cassandra is a Cancer and will come of age on July 7 during the summer vacation, so she cannot participate in the Apparition assessment in Hogsmeade;

Mind lock technique, the original spell, is very effective against Horcruxes in the later stage;

Barty Crouch Jr. is very good at giving lectures. Here are two reasons: one is that he was put into the Ministry of Magic class by Barty Old for a period of time, and he knew the famous Moody, so he was familiar with Moody's style and could Imitation; Second, Voldemort likes to give lessons to his subordinates, and he has learned a lot from the Dark Lord.
