Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 424 Anonymous gift

  During the Christmas holiday, the Anderson family won the lottery again. With this windfall, they enjoyed a French meal in a high-end restaurant.

  Herb is used to Albert using British National Lottery pounds for family dinners. Anyway, there are not many family dinners, and enjoying delicious food in high-end restaurants is undoubtedly a pleasant thing.

  In order to cover up this matter, Herb and Daisy will spend a small amount of money to buy a few national lottery tickets every month, otherwise they will win the lottery every time, which is very suspicious no matter how you look at it.

  The day before school started, Albert went to King's Cross Station to take the Hogwarts Express to return to school with other students.

  In the carriage, Lee Jordan couldn't help complaining about Snape giving Albert a Christmas present.

   The parchment in the package that Snape sent, Albert had seen it a long time ago, and it was indeed a formula for a potion.

The jar of cockroaches in the package is also real. It is probably bred and needs special treatment before use. Drugstores sell treated cockroaches, and there are other potions. They are not precious, but they are all described in the potion formula. The raw materials used, put together and add several common medicinal materials, can make a potion called nagging soup, which will make people talk nonsense uncontrollably.

  Merlin's beard!

  If anyone knows that the raw materials of Nagging Soup are these things, no one will dare to touch this thing.

  To be honest, Albert admired Snape's attainments in potions, and he could actually find such a potion formula. It makes perfect sense for a potions master to give his favorite student a potions-related Christmas present.

  Is Albert Snape's favorite student?

   To some extent, it is indeed.

   Moreover, the recipe for the nagging soup was improved by Snape himself, so it can be regarded as a rather precious gift.

  However, Albert estimated that Snape probably wanted to give himself some unexpected surprises.

  After listening to Albert's analysis, Lee Jordan expressed disapproval of Snape's bad taste, and said simply that if Albert dared to give him such a disgusting thing someday, the two parties would break off friendship.

  Especially after reading the nagging soup recipe on the parchment, Lee Jordan said that his weak heart was severely hit, and he needed Albert's holiday homework to suppress the shock, so he was going to copy it... for reference.

  Professors at Hogwarts school like to give them a lot of homework during the holidays, which is especially annoying.

  Li Jordan tried his best to do his vacation homework yesterday, but he still couldn't finish all the vacation homework completely, so he could only find an excuse to ask Albert for help.

  After consultations, Albert finally agreed to give Lee Jordan the paper on shrinking medicine for reference.

No way, since the snowman incident, the life of the three friends around Albert has become more and more difficult. Snape really can't find trouble with Albert, but he occasionally finds Fred, George and Lee Jordan The trouble is still ok. Snape didn't even need to do anything special, just pay more attention to the three of them when he had time, and it would be enough for them to be unlucky.

   If the holiday homework wasn't done, Lee Jordan would be in for some bad luck, and Snape was desperate for an excuse to get them into trouble.

   "I bet Fred and George are definitely not finished." With the help of Albert, Lee Jordan began to randomly brew his thesis on the shrinking potion.

   In fact, Lee Jordan guessed right, the Weasley twins are mostly out of their studies, and they're working **** the joke props.

After the two returned to Hogwarts Castle in a night carriage, Fred and George came out to welcome them without warning, and warmly gave them a few pieces of candy. By the way, they wanted to appreciate Albert's holiday homework.

   "Could you have created something strange again!"

  Lee Jordan looked at the candies vigilantly, not intending to touch them. He did not forget how he was tricked by these two guys.

   “Candy made with heartworm syrup that makes you feel sad when you put it in your mouth.”

  Seeing that neither of them planned to try it, George unpacked the candy and threw it into his mouth.

  The sad candy worked very well, and after a while, the smile on George's face disappeared, showing a sentimental expression, and even began to sob in a low voice, and soon he was crying.

  The astonishing change in George's face stunned Lee Jordan. He never thought that the effect of heart candy would be so good.

   "We put a huge dose of heartworm syrup in it." George explained to them sadly that it was a total loss-making business.

   "Maybe, we can produce a small amount of heartbreak candy, but never expect to produce in large quantities, that would drain every Galleon from our pockets."

   "It's really sad." Albert smiled and patted George on the shoulder. The effect of this candy was much stronger than he expected.

   "Well, that's probably how it goes."

  Fred tried not to let himself laugh, and handed a candy to George. After the latter finished eating, the sadness on his face was immediately replaced by a smile, but that smile looked a little silly.

   "The antidote is almost there, but the effect of the medicine cannot be completely eliminated."

Fred pointed to the smirk on George's face, and explained helplessly, "That's the aftereffect caused by Arriot's leaves. Of course, it won't take long, um, about ten seconds, and this weak aftereffect will disappear. Completely disappeared."

   "Good start!" Albert comforted the two of them, and then changed the topic of chatting: "Have you opened the package that didn't write the sender?"

After Fred and George looked at each other, they shook their heads together and said, "We think this kind of interesting thing should be kept and shared with everyone, so we temporarily left the unnamed package and waited for you to go back to school." Let's drive together again."

   "Then open it now, I am also a little curious, which guy sent me an anonymous Christmas present." Albert muttered softly, "I always think there will be nothing good inside."

   "We tested it with the Honesty Detector, and there was no curse response, but..." Fred hesitated, but still reminded, "I think it's best to be careful when opening the package."

  No way, with Snape's case first, who knows what's in the package.

  They took the package to the common room. Since no one wanted to open the package, Albert had to use a spell to open the package from a long distance away.

   Under the eyes of everyone, a yellow-green liquid suddenly sprayed out from the package the moment it was opened, like a grenade exploding, the liquid splashed everywhere, and a pungent gasoline smell filled the entire lounge instantly.

   "Fortunately, it was far enough away, and I almost got caught. It's really insidious!" Fred cursed in a low voice, and was almost splashed by an unknown liquid just now.
