Alice's Travels

Someone used the Imperius Curse on her at school!

The blood on Alice's face disappeared completely.It must be Voldemort's person, the one who has been hiding and signing up for Harry-they turned their attention to themselves, what do they want to do, or what do they want to do by themselves?

She felt that the tip of her tongue was slightly numb, her limbs were cold and weak, and a huge sense of panic came to her heart.

"You—it was almost as if you were under the Imperius Curse just now—" Harry hesitated, looking at Alice's pale face, and said, "Maybe I made a mistake—but, are you really okay? "

"Don't talk nonsense, Harry," said Ron with a little panic. "Dumbledore is in the hall now. Who can do anything to students under his nose?"

"Ron's right," Alice said hoarsely, suppressing the intense unease in her heart. "I was just—not feeling well. I think I'll have to go back first."

After she finished speaking, she left quickly without waiting for Harry and Ron's reaction.

"Hey - wait," Ron said angrily, "I haven't asked her if she saw Hermione, why is she walking so fast -"

Harry looked at the direction where Alice disappeared and thought for a few seconds, thinking that she might be hiding something.But instead of telling Ron his guess, he remembered that it would be nice if Hermione was here.

He frowned and said, "I also want to know where she went..."

Alice returned to the dormitory panting, and immediately climbed onto the bed and wrapped herself in the quilt.

She felt scared and uneasy - this time she just used the Imperius Curse on her, so what about next time?

No one can guarantee her safety, and she doesn't want to die in such a place yet.

Hermione noticed that Harry was a little attached to her after Christmas - he wanted to follow her everywhere.

Ron was polite.Of course, it was because they had just had a big fight at the ball - he had dared to accuse himself of being a traitor for agreeing to be Krum's partner, and she had run outside in a huff.None of them wanted to talk about that day now, so nothing was said about the ball or about Krum.

Alice has been a little depressed recently, and Hermione even has a vague feeling that she is avoiding Harry - and Harry always stays with her, so that every time Alice encounters them, they can't say a few words and leave in a hurry.

Malfoy has obviously been in a good mood these two days, always looking radiant.The sour taste overflowing from his heart finally dissipated, and the taste that had been with him for more than a year was finally replaced by a refreshing sweet taste.

Oh, so he thought of her that way.In the Potions classroom, Malfoy stared at Alice's silhouette and thought, but apparently—she likes himself too.

A smug and happy smile broke out on Malfoy's face, and he couldn't help but recall the soft, warm touch, her pandering, and jerky reactions that night, and suddenly felt a throbbing in his heart.

He immediately withdrew his gaze and stopped looking at Alice, a faint blush appeared on his pale face.

Alice noticed that Malfoy's eyes stared at her for a moment and then turned back, and she kept pretending not to notice the movements in her hands.

She has become extremely sensitive now, she has been quietly observing the people around her, who is suspicious, who is malicious to her, and almost subconsciously starts to stay away from Harry-being by his side means being surrounded by those terrorists. Watching secretly, being in an accident-prone area, she didn't want to be named with them.

As for the second item of the upcoming competition, she didn't want to get involved at all.

I have limited ability, and I can't help much.

After class, Alice rushed to the library again. She was looking for a secret weapon that would give her a little peace of mind and protect herself at critical moments—maybe it was a powerful spell, a spell, or a bottle of potion.

The spell she thought of could escape in an instant.As for spells, it was too difficult for her at the moment, and Transfiguration couldn't help much.Finally she focused on a potion of luck - Felicia.

This is a potion that can bring good luck to people. The brewing process is very complicated, but as long as it is brewed properly-you will find that no matter what you do, it will succeed-before the effect of the medicine wears off.

Alice's eyes lit up immediately, and the effect of the Felicity Potion was like placing a halo on a person's head, covering it wherever she went - this kind of effect was exactly what she needed now, even if she was in danger , and were lucky enough to escape.

But it was too complicated and difficult to brew. Alice thought about it in her mind, and finally chose Malfoy as her partner.

After class was over that day, Alice purposely stayed behind slowly.Coincidentally, Malfoy didn't leave the classroom either.

When there was finally no one left, Alice walked towards him.

"Hi," said Alice softly, "will you come with me?"

Malfoy stopped playing with the quill, cleared his throat, and said in a slightly peculiar voice, "Okay - I mean, of course..."

"Where are you going?" Malfoy didn't meet her eyes all the time, but stood up suddenly and said uncomfortably, "There's no one here—oh, you can go out if you want. I mean you Decide……"

Alice frowned slightly at his strange performance, and quickly chose to ignore it and said, "Come with me."

She took Malfoy all the way to the Astronomy Tower.

This is the tallest tower in Hogwarts, and you can look out to the distance from the magnificent scenery outside the castle and the extremely fresh air.

"I have a request," Alice said bluntly, looking intently into Malfoy's eyes.

This time Malfoy did not look away, but also stared at Alice, holding his breath quietly.

"I want you to come with me—" Alice paused and said slowly, "to make Felicia."

Malfoy seemed to be momentarily stunned by the news, his gray-blue eyes staring at her without blinking.

"This is a potion that can bring luck to people. As long as you have it, you can succeed in everything—" Alice explained, but she was interrupted abruptly by Malfoy before she could finish speaking.

"Luck potion—" Malfoy gritted his teeth, his eyes burst into flames of extreme resentment, "what do you want it for—to win the championship for Potter, huh?"

As he spoke, he approached Alice step by step, and Alice stepped back immediately, but Malfoy's footsteps stopped immediately.

"It's not what you think," said Alice quickly, "I need it, not for anyone else—"

Malfoy's eyes were fixed on hers, as if considering the truth of what he said.

"I didn't lie to you. This potion works very well. If it is made, it will be very useful for you and me-of course, its brewing process is also very complicated," Alice looked at him sincerely and said , "We can make it together, and we can use it together if we succeed. Besides, I also promise to do one thing for you. If you need me, just ask. You will agree, right, Malfoy?"

However, I don't know which sentence or which word of hers poked Malfoy's nerves. In short, Malfoy's face immediately darkened as soon as she finished speaking.

"Why should I promise you—" he said coldly in a mocking tone, "I don't have to ask for such a troublesome thing, why do I have to help you?"

"Then tell me, what do you want?" Alice pursed her lips, looked at him calmly and said, "As long as you are willing to help me..."

"I—" Malfoy said, giving her a very exasperated look, "I don't want anything!"

"What's the matter with you?" Alice frowned and asked, "Did I offend you?"

"This should be asking you, not me—" Malfoy said irritably, starting to pace back and forth in front of Alice, "Okay, okay, I agree, but you have to make sure that the potion is only available to you and me. use!"

"Of course," Alice said with a pleasant smile, "as long as it can be made, it will be enough for us."

Malfoy's face instantly returned to a normal, slightly joyful expression, and the corners of his mouth curled up in satisfaction.

"It's our secret, okay?" Alice said softly.

"Why, can't even your Gryffindor friends?" Malfoy asked, raising his eyebrows.

"Yes," said Alice earnestly, "just you and me - you'll keep it a secret, won't you?"

Malfoy seemed to stare at her for a few seconds before he nodded slightly with the corners of his lips curled up.

Alice smiled.

It takes at least half a year to brew the Felix Elixir, which means that the time is very tight - the sooner it is made, the sooner Alice will be a little bit more confident, and they may not be able to succeed in the end.

Since Malfoy agreed, Alice quickly found him out, unwilling to waste any time.

The brewing place of Felicia was chosen in the secret room of Paige's tree house, which was also a secret and safer place that she had spent a lot of effort to rediscover with the paper snake.

Malfoy looked around the dilapidated things in the room with disgusted eyes, he frowned and turned to see Page painted on the wall, "Oh, what is this?"

"I don't know either." Alice said calmly, "I discovered this by accident. I just thought it could be used to make potions."

"By the way, I haven't asked you yet," Malfoy said, his eyes fixed on her suddenly, "what are you trying to do with Felicia? Answer me—"

"Do you think it's safe in school?" Alice didn't answer, but asked a question.

"Of course," Malfoy said nonchalantly, "we're not participating in the Tournament, so what's the danger?"

"Then I'll tell you," Alice said in a serious tone, "to begin with, it wasn't Harry who signed up for the competition - it was someone who put his name in the Goblet of Fire on purpose. Who could have fooled Deng Bullido's magic explanation is not as simple as just a student, so do you still think we are safe with such people hiding around us?"

"It's true that you believe everything Potter says—" Malfoy said sarcastically, "didn't he just put his name in there in some nasty way to gain more fame?"

"Abandon, leave, you, er, prejudice." Alice said slowly, "Now is not the time to blind yourself with these stubborn little ideas, you have to admit that there are indeed people who have been trying to threaten Harry. lives — and those people are hiding all around us."

"What does this have to do with us?" Malfoy sneered coldly, "What does it matter to you—"

"Don't you think those who are trying to hurt Harry's life won't be able to do anything to us?" Alice said calmly, "Don't be stupid, people who dare to kill don't have such a limit. You can kill Harry sometime, so how do you know they won't come up with another reason to hurt me or you?"

"That's why you want Felicia?" Malfoy said after a few seconds.

"Yes," Alice said slowly, "it will bring us enough luck."
