Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 1233 Waste of effort

   "Maybe, we shouldn't have killed them!"

  In the living room, Narcissa looked away from the corpses on the ground and looked at the bottle of golden potion in her hand. Her slightly pale lips trembled slightly, and there was a bit of haze in her eyes looking at Bella.

   "If you don't kill them, what are you doing with them?" Bella didn't care about the two bedbugs she had just crushed. "You should have noticed that they have already colluded."

"But... I mean, we haven't confirmed whether this thing is the Felicity Elixir." Narcissa could not help but grasp the golden potion in her hand, and continued: "And, maybe they have other connections, I mean know For other powerful pharmacists, it is better to spend some money than to catch us blind."

"They've been lying from the beginning, and I saw it right away." Bella spat at the corpse on the ground, and said disdainfully, "These stupid guys always like to treat others as fools. However, I do Love the silliness of these guys."

   Narcissa fell into a brief silence, not wanting to continue arguing with Bella. It would not lead to any results, because it is difficult for Bella to be persuaded now, even she is no exception.

   "Perhaps, we should go back to England first, and let Severus help us identify the authenticity of those Felicias." Narcissa suggested.

   "No, it's Felicia, I'm sure it is."

  Bellatrix took the bottle of Felicia from Narcissa, she knew her sister's character,

   Definitely wanted to give Draco Felicia, it was a complete waste.

"etc."

   Narcissa wanted to grab it, but Bella still took the potion away.

"Felix Felix must be used where it is really needed." Bella stared at her sister and warned, "Our goal is to get rid of Dumbledore. If Dumbledore is not dead, you should know the consequences, even if Dumbledore Laco survived in the end, and couldn't bear the Dark Lord's wrath."

"I, I mean, this bottle of Felicia is also likely to be fake." Narcissa looked at Bella anxiously, "Also, I believe we can definitely get a few more bottles of Felicia. A bottle of Draco will do."

   "I hope you won't be stupid, Narcissa." Bella put away the bottle of Felicia and warned again, "If the plan fails, do you know what the consequences will be?"

  As long as Dumbledore can be killed, Bella is willing to sacrifice Draco, not to mention that they do have a chance to get more Felicia.

   "What should we do here?" Narcissa asked, changing the topic.

   "Let's set it on fire."

  Before they left, they deformed the two corpses and set a fire on the way, setting the whole house on fire.

   "We should change our identity again and continue to buy Felicia. By the way, we need to find another translator, we don't understand German."

   Narcissa believes that in the European magic world, as long as they are willing to pay enough Galleons, there must be a way to buy Felicia.

Bella didn't object either, only one bottle of Felicia was not enough for those Death Eaters who agreed to go to Hogwarts to siege Dumbledore, they had to get a few more bottles of Felicia, not to mention, they all It is impossible to determine the authenticity of the bottle of Felicia.

  Nacissa, who originally planned to pick another disguise target for the two, soon discovered that they might have encountered some troubles.

   For unknown reasons, they were followed.

  Perhaps, their purchase of Felix Felicia was too eye-catching, or because Bella killed many wizards, in short, they were targeted.

  Bella took some time to successfully bring down the wizard. Just when they wanted to torture each other, they realized that they didn't speak German at all. Not to mention torture, even communication became a problem.

  The wizard who had been hired to help translate had died tragically under Bella's Avada Kedavra not long ago, and they were in trouble before they could hire the next one.

"wait…"

   Before Narcissa made a move to stop it, a green light spewed out from the tip of Bella's wand, completely engulfing the hapless man who was dying of being tortured by the Cruciatus Curse, and took his life.

"You don't need to kill him. This guy is probably an employee of the Ministry of Magic. Killing him will not do us any good except angering the German Ministry of Magic." A problem that can be solved with a curse, why make things so big that the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic must hunt them down?

  The other party stared at them, indicating that their identities have been exposed, at least this guy will definitely suspect them when he traces them.

  Even if they can use compound medicine to change their appearance, as long as they continue to buy Felicia, they will still be targeted.

   Now it's good, Bella killed people directly, and they are likely to have a complete grudge with the Ministry of Magic.

   Narcissa realized it was time to leave.

   On the same day, Bella and Narcissa left Germany overnight.

  Narcisha guessed right, that person was an employee of the German Ministry of Magic, and his disappearance caused them to be targeted by the German Ministry of Magic.

   Fortunately, the two used the compound potion to disguise themselves as others in time, and left Germany in the first time, which allowed them to escape the pursuit of the Aurors of the German Ministry of Magic.

   On the second day after the two left, the arrest warrant even appeared in newspapers in the German magic circle.

   "I said earlier, there is no need to be so radical."

  Looking at the news on the front page of the newspaper, Narcissa's eyes were full of helplessness.

   It didn't take long for their true identities to be revealed, and to make matters worse, rumors spread that they were persecuting pharmacists.

This led to the complete bankruptcy of Bella and Narcissa's plan to acquire Felicia. Once they take the initiative to expose it, they will cause a lot of trouble, even in the black market. Now most of Europe knows that several families of the victims have united to give A sky-high price was offered for their lives.

  After the news spread, many well-known pharmacists were frightened and hid one after another, fearing that they would follow in the footsteps of the previous few unlucky ones.

   This made Bella, who had finally collected information and was going to visit those pharmacists one by one, have to give up her original plan.

   Successive setbacks made her even more irritable.

  Especially after traveling to several countries in a row and encountering similar situations, both of them realized that it might be difficult to obtain more Felician.

"What should we do now?"

"Go back, first go to Snape to appraise those Blessing Elixirs." Narcissa tried her best not to let herself see the pharmacist who died innocently and tragically, and put away the Blessing Elixirs, "If these Blessing Elixirs We can't use it, so we have to find another way."

   "I hope your method works." Bella raised her wand and started to set fires. Since she traveled around Europe, she was good at setting fires.

  …

   "You shouldn't be contacting me at this time."

  Snape, who was approached by someone, was not in a good mood.

   "Sorry Severus, but we really need your help."

   Narcissa was apologetic, she knew very well that the critical moment had come, and many things could cause Snape to be suspected by Dumbledore, but besides Snape, she really didn't know who to turn to for help.

   "What's the matter?" Snape glanced at the cold-faced Bella, and asked back, "If it's..."

   "We just came to you to help identify some potions." Bella put the box in front of Snape and interrupted impatiently,

   "Identify the potion?"

  Snape had already guessed something, but he still opened the box in front of him calmly, and there were indeed some golden potions inside.

   "I need you to help us identify these Felicians and identify which ones are real." Bella explained their purpose of finding Snape.

   "Severus, we can't tell the difference, so we can only come to you." Narcissa said quickly,

   "Felix Felicia?"

"right."

   "I think these are Felicians."

   "What do you mean?" Bella asked with a frown.

  Snape picked up a bottle of Felix Elixir, glanced at Bella and added, "The failure of Felix Elixir."

   "So, Felicia Felicia is not a fake, but a failure." Bella asked with a dark face.

   "That's right." Snape nodded and said, "There is a saying that the pharmacist who brews Felicia usually needs to be the first to take it to avoid poisoning other users."

   "This, this, and these two bottles are obviously failures after brewing Felicia."

"Why?"

   "The color is wrong, shut up if you have nothing to do, and don't bother me." Snape was obviously very dissatisfied with Bella's question, and picked out a few bottles of potions that were visible to the naked eye.

   "Let's not disturb Severus." Narcissar pulled La Bella, signaling her not to disturb him.

   "I mean why didn't those pharmacists throw away the failed products." Bella asked her doubts.

"It's probably used as a poison. It's hard to detoxify, and the cost of brewing Felicia is very high. If it fails, it's not something ordinary pharmacists can afford." Snape glanced at Bella, and continued to pour the remaining He picked up the Blessing Elixirs and observed them one by one, and then eliminated a few failed bottles.

   "Where did you get the potions? They are all failures." Snape pursed his lips and continued, "Maybe you can consider using these potions to poison Dumbledore."

   "Isn't there still three bottles?"

  Bella frowned slightly, and was also a little worried that all the blessings she got were failures.

   Narcissa held her breath, also worrying that their efforts for half a month would be completely in vain.

  But the last three bottles of Blessing Elixir, like molten gold, still gave them some confidence.

   "Where are you going?" Narcissa asked puzzled.

"Get some mice, no one can guarantee whether this thing is a failure." Snape explained impatiently, "So, I must first get some mice to test these three bottles of Felix Elixir to see if it is poisonous or not." dead mouse."

   "You stay here, I'll help you get the mice." Bella got up and left.

  Looking at Bella's leaving back, Narcissa looked back at Snape, and couldn't help but ask, "How is Draco?"

"He's fine, he's working hard to fix the disappearing cabinet, and I think he'll be able to fix it in a short time." Snape comforted softly, "So you don't need to worry, as long as there is no mess, his plan will definitely work." success."

   "What if it can't be repaired?" Narcissa asked in a low voice.

   "He will fix that thing, you should have faith in him." Snape frowned.

   Narcissa was silent. She knew that Snape would help Draco, but she still didn't have much confidence in it. After all, the target was Dumbledore, and that was almost an impossible task.

  Bella didn't take long to get a lot of mice.

  Snape took some Felicia from the vial and dropped it into the mouse's mouth.

   Not long after, the first mouse died, poisoned by Felicia.

   "You better be mentally prepared." Snape reminded.

  The second and third mice still couldn't catch them, and died directly.

   "These Felix Elixirs are all failures, it seems that you have wasted your time." Snape waved his wand and cleaned up the corpses of those rats.

  Bella gave Snape a hard look, then suddenly turned to look at Narcissa, "Take out the bottle you hid, I know you hid a bottle of Felicia."

   Narcissa bit her lower lip, and took out a box, which contained a bottle of Felicia.

"Try this."

  Bella handed the last bottle of Felicia to Snape.

   This time, the mouse managed to survive, but it seemed to be a little excited.

  Snape waited for a few minutes. Seeing that the mouse was not dead, he dipped his finger in some Felicia and put it in his mouth to taste.

   "How is it?" Narcissa asked expectantly.

   "This stuff is indeed Felicia, and it should be effective." Snape looked at Narcissa and asked, "Do you need me to hand it to Draco?"

   "No, no need, I plan to use this thing when dealing with Dumbledore." Bella seemed very satisfied with the result, the only problem was that she didn't plan to give the thing to Draco to use.

   "Bella."

  Narcissa looked at her sister who had snatched Felicia in shock.

   "Do you remember what I said?" Bella stuffed the potion into her pocket, and said indifferently to her sister, "Narcissa, only by killing Dumbledore can Draco survive."

   "There is only one bottle of Kefu elixir, and you don't have enough." Narcissa still tried to persuade Bella, "Giving it to Draco is the most correct way. Only when the disappearing cabinet is repaired, the plan can..."

   "I remember you saying that Slughorn has more Felicias," Bella said suddenly.

   "You want to sneak into Hogwarts and steal Felicia from Slughorn." Snape wondered if Bella was crazy.

   "That's right, isn't it said that Felicia Felicia can bring luck, as long as you use it..." Bella was interrupted by Snape before she finished speaking.

   "Do you think Dumbledore is an idiot? And how are you going to sneak into Hogwarts?"

   "I don't need you to worry about these."

   "No, you will completely mess up my plans by doing that." Snape couldn't help but sneered, "Don't think Dumbledore is an idiot, and I don't think you can sneak into Hogwarts quietly."

   "I, I'll do it." Narcissa said suddenly, she knew very well that she had to fight for it, otherwise, even if she really got the Felician, Draco might not have it.

   "We'll just take the Felicity Elixir, and use the Amnesia Charm to make Slughorn temporarily forget this part of the memory. Severus, I know you can definitely help us, right?"
