Mary has always disliked the bottles and pots and those weird potion materials in potion class, but in the first grade, Sophie told her that using spells to fight is what wizards often do, as for witches Well, they should be guarded in their own laboratories, and bottles of potions with magical effects are their most suitable weapons.

Undoubtedly, Sophie's Potions class has always been very good. Mary even heard Professor Prince, who taught Potions class, comment on Sophie: For a witch who never planned to come out to work, she made potions. The level is already top-notch.

So Mary was very puzzled, she couldn't figure out what Sophie would use her potion for.

"When I meet someone I like, let him drink the love potion I made." Every time, Sophie replied like this.

The only regret is that Professor Prince, who admired Sophie, announced his retirement at the end of last semester. The new semester begins.

"He's definitely not a responsible person!" During the first week of the new semester, Sophie vented her dissatisfaction in a similar way until the new professor showed up on the second Wednesday.

Professor Ruger Mc Ethelen caught up with the second Potions class of the seventh year, which was also his first class at Hogwarts. When he appeared in the Potions class, Sophie All the girls inside were more or less surprised.

Mary felt that this professor did not look like a Potions teacher at all. He looked only in his thirties, tall and handsome, and his indescribable elegance and elegance made Mary Never seen it on any wizard or Muggle male yet.

As soon as Professor Esolen entered the classroom, he apologized to his classmates. He introduced himself and said that before accepting the employment of Hogwarts, he worked as a pharmacy consultant in the Black Duke's mansion, so he had to wait for the Duke to find a new consultant to take over the job After that, he can leave.

"If you don't mind being taken up by me for the rest time," he smiled very kindly, "we can find a time to make up for last week's class..."

Several girls answered in the affirmative right away, and Sophie's voice was loud enough to attract the professor to glance at them.

"Well... I should really thank you for your support," Professor Esolen smiled, "Fortunately, I have already expected all of this..."

As he spoke, he took out a large bag from the suitcase he carried with him, and Mary saw the unique purple packaging of the chocolate shop called "Coffee Mill and Cigarette Roll" in Diagon Alley.

"I remember that this store didn't open a branch in Hogsmeade, but I may remember wrongly." He put the chocolate bag in front of the students in the first row, "pass it around, I think at least one person can be guaranteed There are two..."

Before Professor Essolen could finish speaking, everyone, including the boys this time, cheered happily.While gesturing for everyone to be quiet, he exhorted, "You can eat chocolate while I'm teaching the theory class, but when you start to configure the potion, I don't want to see it in your mouth or on the table. chocolate."

Everyone agreed, and Sophie leaned closer to Mary's ear, "Honey, I really want to thank Professor Prince for his decision to retire, otherwise we would never have had the chance to meet such a wonderful professor." professor."

"Sophie, don't get too excited," Mary also lowered her voice, "Professor Esolen's ability to concoct potions may not be as pleasing as his appearance."

"How is that possible?" Sophie took it for granted, "Since he can serve under the Black Duke, he must be of a very high level."

Facts have proved that this reasoning is established.Professor Esolen's lectures were so organized that Mary once felt that she really understood it. When she started to prepare this potion that can increase the age by one month, Mary felt that she had never been so full of energy as she is today. confidence.

The live slugs were disgusting, and Professor Ethelon graciously apologized to the girls, saying that he shouldn't have exposed them to such appetizing raw materials in the first class, but then he assured everyone that increasing age A one-month dose is the simplest of all aging agents and has a high success rate.

The witches all put on their aprons and sleeves, and carefully smashed the wriggling creatures in the mortar. According to Professor Esolen's introduction, this will be the only difficulty they will encounter in this class, but Mary later discovered that the brain of the house mouse was also disgusting, and it was still bloody.

Sophie still seemed to be in high spirits, she moved quickly, and while Mary was still dealing with the house mouse brain, she had all the materials ready and began to set up her cauldron.Professor Esolen walked around the classroom a few times, and finally stopped in front of Sophie's workbench.

The one-month-old potion should be a light grass green suspension, but when Mary went to see Sophie again, she found that Sophie's potion had turned dark green, which was an almost impossible failure for her So much so that Mary thought she was wrong.

But Mary's own potion was worse, it was almost black, but then she found a few unicorn underbelly hairs in the crevice of the table, and threw them in again, and her potion rolled There was a pungent smell of corruption.

It seems that this class is not as perfect as imagined, but Professor Esolen seems to be satisfied. He analyzed the reasons for various failures in detail. For example, the black one like Mary is the blood on the brain of the house mouse. It was not cleaned, so Mary hurriedly looked again at the instructions in the textbook, and this one was clearly in her memory, but unfortunately, she smashed it without even washing it.

Professor Esolen didn't assign homework, he just said that he was researching the formula of a new potion, and he hoped to select a few assistants from the seventh grade students, and then he named a few names, Sophie Wen Miss DeMille's name was the first to be called.

The students whose names were called stayed, and Mary put away her books and cauldron, and stopped Sophie as she passed her desk.

Sophie pulled Mary and hurried to Professor Esolen, "Professor," she asked, "can you let this Miss Bennet be your assistant? She hopes to go to St. Mungo works, and Potions is important to her."

Mary had indeed told Sophie about this suggestion from Phippus Knight, but she did not expect her to help her in such a meticulous manner.

"Miss Windermere, my assistants are full," Professor Ethelon turned to Mary with a polite smile, "Miss Bennet, I think I can draw up a list of books for you as a reference, mainly in Potions for healing, and I also suggest that you pay attention to some common spells for healing."

In fact, Mary did not expect his help at all, so she respectfully thanked Professor Esolen for his kindness.

"I'll give Miss Windermere the list tonight," added the professor.

It was already night when Mary saw Sophie again.To be exact, she was already sitting under the quilt and flipping through a copy of "One Hundred Most Needed Healing Charms in Families" borrowed from the library in the afternoon, before Sophie happily returned to the dormitory.

"Oh, I'm very tired," cried Sophie. "It's all because of Professor Ethelen who won't let me drink a little stimulant. He said that kind of thing is not good for the body."

"You haven't had dinner?" Mary asked in surprise.

"I ate it. I ate it in the professor's room," Sophie replied with a smile. "He also treated us to Spanish hot chocolate, which was really delicious."

"He must like all kinds of chocolate very much," Mary thought for a while, "in fact, chocolate is also a kind of stimulant, right?"

"It doesn't work for me," Sophie said again, "I guess that the black duke's potion consultant must be able to get a very high salary. Professor Esolen has a lot of exquisite experimental equipment and advanced potion materials. His set The sterling silver stationery is also very beautiful."

"Then why did he come to Hogwarts?" Mary asked again. The students all knew that the salaries of professors were not high.

"In order to have a quiet place to study potions," Sophie replied, "he said that working for the Black Duke is a lot of trouble, and most of his time must be spent preparing various potions, and he has no time to do his own." Research."

She thought about it, and then added with a little pride, "He said that people who love potions must invent at least one new potion in their life, otherwise they will be just workers dispensing potions for the rest of their lives."

"That's true," Mary laughed. "But, Sophie, are you going to invent potions too?"

"I'm planning this," Sophie replied very seriously, "If I can do research with Professor Esolen for a period of time, I might be able to invent something."

"Oh, dear Sophie, you have the ability," Mary bluffed and clapped.

Sophie was so excited that by the time she got into bed, Mary was drowsy, but she was babbling on and on.

"Professor Esolen also has a very beautiful gray shorthair cat," she added, "he is not afraid of people at all, we can pet him as we like, and he even jumps on the table and licks the hot chocolate on the plate .”

"Sophie, haven't you always disliked pets?" Mary asked with a smile.

"If the pet is well-behaved and won't cause trouble to others, I'd still like to keep it," Sophie actually changed her words again.

"Are you going to help the professor tomorrow?" Mary asked again.

"Only once a week," Sophie replied.

"Then let's go to bed quickly," Mary yawned, "You've been talking about Professor Esolen since you came back, and this is only the first day we've seen him."

However, Sophie was still excited, "Mary, just wait and see, by tomorrow, all the witches in Hogwarts must be talking about him, his appearance alone is enough to make all the wizards feel sad Pale."

"I can't sleep now, you go to bed first," she said again, "I'm going to continue studying our potions textbook!"
