Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 674 Little trick

  Albert and Isobel followed behind Hetok, laughing and chatting about meaningless topics.

  The three of them walked along Wizard Street for a while, and then they saw Hetok turning into an unremarkable shop with a sign saying "Wand on the cauldron" hanging outside the shop.

   This is a pharmacy.

  At least, after entering the store with Hutok, Albert's first impression inside was the pharmacy.

  There are all kinds of potions on the shelves in the shop, and the effects and specific prices of the potions are also posted on them.

   "This should be Felicity Elixir, right?" Isobel was surprised to find that there was actually a bottle of golden potion in the display cabinet inside.

   "Yes." Hetok glanced at the glass showcase and said meaningfully: "However, it says: price negotiable."

  Hearing what Hetok said, Albert and Isobel both understood.

   Not only Felicia, but also various prohibited potions.

   Most of the potions mentioned in "Powerful Potion" can be found here. Veritaserum and compound potions are all here.

  In another showcase, there are also a lot of potion raw materials, and most of them are contraband.

   "I'm curious, why the French Ministry of Magic didn't let people seal this place up." Albert looked at the cabinet full of prohibited items and muttered softly.

"The business here is completely legal. There are many things you can't buy without access, and no one dares to sell prohibited items." Hetok handed the gold membership card and suitcase to the receptionist at the counter, and handed him a letter. After taking back the gold membership card, he said in a low voice, "Help me see if I can get these raw materials."

   "Yes, Mr. Hattock."

   "Do I need a membership card to buy contraband?"

   "Yes." Hetok nodded, "Come with me."

   There is a counter at the side of the store. When Hetok led the two of them past, the witch behind the counter bowed slightly to him, "Long time no see, Mr. Hetok."

   "Long time no see, Jessica, are you still used to working here?" Hetok greeted each other with a smile.

   "It's okay. Who are these two?" Jessica opened her eyes and looked at Albert and Isobel curiously.

   "I'll bring them to the membership assessment." Hetok said and took out his gold membership card, saying that he was the recommender of the two.

"Okay, please fill out the form first, and then pay the exam fee." Jessica looked Albert up and down, and couldn't help asking, "This should be Mr. Albert Anderson, who won the International Wizarding Award last year. The chess champion, I didn't expect that he was also good at potions."

   Albert did not answer, pretending to be filling out the form seriously. Isobel next to him seemed to want to laugh, but she still suppressed it. She knew that Albert didn't like other people talking about it.

   "Okay, here we go."

  The two filled out the form and delivered the coins by the way.

  The entrance examination for the Association of Extraordinary Pharmacists is very expensive. If it were placed in the UK, it would cost about ten Galleons.

  Of course, the money was paid by Albert, so it is naturally impossible for Hetok to help pay.

   It's just that he didn't pay the other party the magic currency from France, but paid directly in galleons.

   Jessica had obviously encountered this kind of thing before, so she just smiled and accepted Garen, and even gave him some change from the cash drawer. Then, she made a gesture of invitation to the stone door next to her.

"Come with me!"

Hetok led the two into the stone gate, just like passing through platform nine and three-quarters, they appeared in an empty hall, and what came into view was the wizard fountain, but the wizard holding the cauldron looked a little strange .

"That's the founder of the Extraordinary Apothecary Association: Hutok Dagworth Granger." Hutok introduced to the two, with a hint of pride in his tone, "He's actually holding a golden cauldron, It is the golden cauldron from the Potions Tournament of the School of Magic. As for the light golden spring water is a kind of diluted potion, drinking it can keep people happy, do you want to try it?"

   "Forget it." Albert didn't intend to drink this kind of stuff of unknown origin. However, he felt that he had really come to the right place, maybe he could provide more interesting inspiration for Weasley's joke shop here.

   "Stimulant potion?" Isobel was also not interested in tasting it, and guessed the name of the potion based on Hetok's description.

"Yes, the euphoria potion is also one of the contents of the assessment. Under normal circumstances, you need to randomly select one of several common potions, and then prepare it within the specified time. According to the finished potion configured, determine whether you have joined the Association of Extraordinary Wizards Qualifications," explained Hetok.

   "So, as long as the level of potion is not too bad, it should not be difficult to join the Association of Extraordinary Pharmacists after a few more exams." Albert did not say a word: that is, it is more expensive.

  Actually, as long as there are acquaintances in the association, it shouldn't be too difficult to collect a little bit of medicine types, and then strengthen training.

   "Isn't this Hetok? What brought you here."

  A voice with a strange tone came from not far away, and the old wizard came in front of several people, and behind him was also a young man who was about the same age as Albert.

   "Oh, what's the matter, Bernard?" Hetok's tone was very cold, obviously he didn't have a good relationship with the wizard named Bernard in front of him.

   "It's nothing, it's rare to see you introduce someone, is this your student?"

   "No." Hutok looked a little impatient.

"By the way, this is my grandson Guy. He has just passed the association's entrance exam, and he plans to participate in the Magic School Potions Championship this year." Bernard's tone was filled with unconcealable pride and showing off. One thought his grandson had already won the Potions Tournament.

   "Speaking of which, no one in England has won the Magic School Potions Championship since you."

"Hello!" Guy's eyes lit up when he saw Isobel, he stared straight at him, and he couldn't wait to reach out his hand to say hello, "I'm Guy Bernard, a student of Beauxbaton Academy of Magic .”

  Isobel looked at Guy in front of him, frowned slightly, and a trace of disgust flashed between his brows and eyes.

"Hello, Mr. Bernard." Albert held the other's hand with a smirk on his face, and introduced: "I am Albert, Albert Anderson. The beautiful girl next to me is Ian Miss Zebel McDougal."

  His tone suddenly paused, and he reminded quietly, "If you want to chase this beautiful girl, you'd better be careful, because her boyfriend is narrow-minded."

  Hetok's cheeks twitched a few times involuntarily. After Isobel heard it, the expression on his face couldn't hold back anymore, and he laughed outright.

  Guy was a little stunned at the hand being held, forced an awkward smile, and immediately retracted his arm.

   After Bernard's grandparents left, Isobel smiled and said, "How can you say that about yourself?"

   "Who made him so unmannered, and I'm really narrow-minded."

"The guy with the upturned nose, you get used to it." Hetok didn't care about such trivial matters, and continued to introduce, "The portraits on the surrounding walls are all wizards who have made great contributions in the field of potions, Bodhidharma Chris was also hung here a while ago, that one."

   "Is it because of Wolfsbane potion?"

"and yours?"

   "Mine is on the other side." Hetok said, pointing to another wall farther away.

   "You don't seem to like that Mr. Bernard very much?" Albert asked curiously.

"It's not that I hate him, but I just don't like his behavior. Bernard has just served as the president of the Association of Extraordinary Wizards." Hetok said lightly, "He is not a pure pharmacist. Many people say that Bernard Turning the Association of Extraordinary Wizards into a mess is actually just like what you've guessed."

   "There are people like this everywhere." Albert said without thinking.

  The three of them arrived at the front desk, and after handing over the two entrance test reports to the witch at the front desk, they were quickly arranged for the entrance examination.

The person in charge of the test was an old wizard who knew Hetok. After the two chatted for a while, they gave them a card from Chapter 12. They said that they had drawn that card, so they made a card with the surface of the card. potion.

   Albert got the euphoria. After Isobel also got the euphoria, the old man named Eugene looked a little embarrassed.

  This made Albert suspect that the twelve cards were all euphoria.

  When the old wizard went to prepare materials for them, Isobel told Albert in a low voice that the twelve cards were actually filled with joy potions.

  Because not long ago, that guy named Guy also got the euphoria.

"It seems that Bernard's grandson is not as talented as he said." Hetok's tone was quite disdainful, "Don't be surprised, this is Bernard's little trick, Mr. Eugene obviously forgot to put those cards back. Tidy it up, and let Bernard accidentally reveal his flaws."
