Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 445 Strong laxatives

   It seems that neither the dragon egg nor the unicorn hunting incident has happened yet, but I just don’t know if I can get related tasks from these two incidents.

  On the way to bring his own Tom back to the castle, Albert walked and thought about the possibility of this matter. Obtaining related tasks from known plots is undoubtedly the most convenient way to gain experience.

   As for whether Potter will follow the route of the storyline in the end, Albert is not sure, but he is more willing to believe in the so-called laws of historical revision, and some things will not be easily changed.

  When bringing Tom back to the common room, Albert noticed that the three roommates were whispering together, and they didn't know what they were whispering.

  Especially the subtle expression on George's face, which always made Albert feel a little strange. Fred and Lee Jordan also looked like they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.

   "What happened to him?" Albert asked

  Lee Jordan suppressed himself from laughing, "George took a very small dose of Bashu bean powder, and some side effects occurred as a result."

   "Diarrhea?" Albert didn't go to see George, lest he laugh out loud, "Why don't you go to Madam Pomfrey and ask the head nurse to get you some medicine for your stomachache?"

   "I just feel a little sick to my stomach." George really didn't want to go to the school hospital, and he couldn't tell Madam Pomfrey that he had taken the soybean powder!

   "You can't keep making trouble..."

   As soon as Albert raised his head, he saw George clutching his stomach and running towards the toilet in the dormitory.

  After George disappeared at the stairs, Fred and Lee Jordan finally couldn't help laughing out loud.

   "Stop making trouble." Albert asked, looking at the two who were laughing so hard that they could hardly straighten their backs, "Didn't you find a cure for your stomachache?"

   "No." Fred shook his head regretfully.

   "Then we can only go to Madam Pomfrey. Let's say that Peeves added a small amount of powder suspected to be beans to George's food, and see how the head nurse solves this problem." Albert suggested.

  Since they can't find a solution, they can only find professional help.

  As for the blame, just blame Peeves directly.

  The two of them looked at each other in blank dismay. They didn't expect such a solution. Madam Pomfrey is indeed an authority in medical treatment. If you want to solve the problem of stomach trouble, looking for her is naturally the fastest way.

  As for throwing the blame on Peeves, none of them felt any psychological pressure. Anyway, it wasn't the first time that mischievous Peeves did such a thing.

  Even if Peeves really finds out by then, at worst, give it some Bashu Bean Flour, and make this matter an established fact.

About ten minutes later, George appeared at the stairs, his face still not very good-looking, Fred immediately told him Albert's suggestion, and before George agreed, he was framed by Fred and Lee Jordan school clinic.

  Albert also followed, and told Madam Pomfrey what was discussed earlier, lest Fred and Lee Jordan accidentally slip up.

   "Suspected Bashu Bean Powder?"

  Madam Pomfrey listened to Albert's tracing, and looked at George's appearance, but she didn't have any doubts. After all, she would never have imagined that someone would add soybean powder to her food.

  It only took a few seconds for Madam Pomfrey to cure stomachache. She took out a medicine bottle from the cabinet and poured George a small cup. After drinking it, the effect was immediate, and the stomachache was cured quickly.

   "What kind of potion is this?" Albert asked.

   "Antidiarrheal." Madam Pomfrey began to chase people away.

   After thanking Madame Pomfrey, the four immediately went to the library to look up the antidiarrheal formula. They read several books in a row, and finally found the antidiarrheal formula in a book titled "Cure for Common Magical Ailments".

  However, what surprised the four of them the most was that the antidiarrheal formula required the use of Bashu beans.

   "Did I read it wrong?" Fred raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, unable to believe what he saw.

   "You read that right." Albert took "Cure for Common Magical Ailments" to Mrs. Pince, planning to borrow it back and study it carefully.

It is not difficult to make an antidiarrheal agent, but the difficulty lies in the processing of the Bashu beans, which need to be roasted and degreased through alchemy procedures before they can be used. The antidiarrheal agent made from untreated Bashu beans not only cannot stop Instead, it becomes a powerful laxative, making the diarrhea worse.

   "You can write a letter to the pharmacy first, and you should be able to buy processed Bashu beans. However, I estimate that the price of this medicinal material will be relatively high." Albert reminded.

   Some medicinal materials need to be tediously processed through alchemy procedures before use, and the price of these medicinal materials will be very expensive!

  Of course, what is expensive is not the medicinal material itself, but the cumbersome treatment process.

   "The effect of the antidiarrheal agent is really strong, and the diarrhea problem was cured at once." George couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

   "I believe this thing can also be turned into a great joke prop." Fred has foreseen a group of people with collective diarrhea, and there are not enough toilets. The scene is not too beautiful.

   "Don't think about that kind of weird thing." Albert glanced at Fred and said angrily, "Unless you want to be dragged into the toilet one day and beaten up."

   "Of course not, I was just wondering, and we don't sell antidiarrheals too." Fred laughed maliciously.

   "If you want to sell this thing to the students in the school, it's better after we graduate and leave the school." Lee Jordan muttered, "I don't want to have a stomachache all day long."

  Albert ignored the twin brothers who were dancing weird tap dances side by side, and carefully read all the contents of "Cure for Common Magical Ailments". He was sure that this book was a common book that wizarding families would buy.

   "You have never used antidiarrheals before, or other drugs with similar effects?"

   "I have no impression." Fred shook his head.

   "What about this book?" Albert asked, pointing to "Cure for Common Magical Ailments".

   "No, we do have a "Healing Handbook" at home." Fred recalled and said.

   "Then what should you do if you have a stomachache?" Albert asked with a frown.

"Dad will get the potion from St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Wounds, just drink it. You know, the therapist in the hospital will sell some simple potions for common symptoms to wizards who are not good at brewing potions. "George thought for a while and said, "I think that thing is probably an antidiarrheal."

   "After all, I haven't had many stomach upsets since I was a child, so it's easy to forget." Fred echoed, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just think that if you really want to sell this thing, you'd better find another formula." Albert didn't expect the Weasley twins to learn how to handle the beans in a short time, let alone have to return them when the time came. You have to waste a lot of time and energy on this.
