Chapter 560: New discovery
Chapter 560: New discovery
The sky in October was gloomy and there were faint signs of rain. The bad weather did not affect everyone's good mood, nor could it prevent the students from going to Hogsmeade.
No student would refuse to go back to school for a Halloween feast after a day of fun in Hogsmeade, let
This great feast became even more wonderful.
On the way to Hogsmeade, Albert and Isobel were chatting about wolf poison potions, but they didn't feel that the road was boring.
Suddenly a group of Ravenclaw girls passed by, Katrina and her companions. The girls giggled here, lowered their voices and spoke, as if they were talking about Albert and Isobel, and even a few girls kept looking back at Albert and Isobel.
However, the two didn't care too much, ignoring the girls' gazes, and continued to talk about the topic just now until they entered Hogsmeade Village.
"Go to the Honey Duke Candy Store first!" Alberta turned Isobel's hand into the candy store filled with taffy, which was crowded with students.
In the corner of the candy store, Albert saw a few people sucking a sorbet ball and letting his feet float a few inches off the ground.
"Let's go over and give it a try."
When the two of them just went to the corner, they unexpectedly met Katrina and her female companions. One of them unexpectedly ran over to greet him warmly while Isobel was picking sweets.
"You are really welcome," the girl said softly.
"Too famous is not good." Albert sighed quietly, walked to a cotton candy machine, fiddled with the cotton candy, "Have you ever eaten this thing?"
"What are you doing?" Isabel asked curiously when he noticed that Albert was shaping the marshmallow.
In a short time, a flower made of cotton candy quickly took shape, and Albert gave it to Isabel next to it.
"Muggle tricks."
"I'm a little reluctant to eat it." Isabel looked at the flower made of cotton candy and said softly.
At this moment, several girls came over to talk to Albert, hoping Albert could help them get the same flower.
"Sorry, we have something to leave."
Albert tactfully refused, and took the pile of sweets he bought to the counter to check out. Then, leaving the candy store in the sad eyes of a group of girls.
"If you are willing to teach this trick to the owner of a candy store, he might be happy to give you a 9.5 percent discount when you buy candies." Isabel looked at the marshmallow flowers in his hand, feeling very happy. .
"Forget it, I'm not Professor Lockhart, and I don't like being watched by a group of people."
The two went to Madame Petitfu’s teahouse. The couples always like to date here. They met Percy and his female partner there. Miss Penello seemed to be very interested in the cotton candy flowers in Isabel’s hand. Xibian took him to the Honey Duke candy store, and seemed to be planning to buy a copy for his girlfriend.
"I'm afraid Penello will be disappointed." Isabel put the marshmallow on one side, ordered two cups of milk tea, and chatted with Albert about the beauty medicine.
In fact, there are many similar cosmetic potions in the magical world. This thing was originally proposed and developed by a witch named Sakrisa Tagwood in the last century. However, no beauty potion can be used. Keep people young.
In the United States, Miss Kathleen has also made little progress. It is not easy to develop a medicine that can keep people looking.
The research of potions sometimes requires a little luck.
Albert intends to find inspiration from the raw materials of beauty medicine and Mandela root. After all, Mandela root can brew a medicine that can delay aging through a complex potion process.
However, Albert doesn't know whether this thing works, but it doesn't prevent him from revealing his research direction to Isabel.
At this moment, a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, and there was a faint sound of thunder in the distance.
The intensive raindrops are falling, pedestrians on the street are looking for places to hide from the rain, and many students who hide from the rain also flood into the teahouse.
I stayed in the shop for an hour, waited until the rain subsided, then left the teahouse, planning to buy something in the Devis Bans shop.
Albert saw an acquaintance when he first paid and walked out of the teahouse.
"Mr. Hertok Duggworth," Alberta took Isobel's hand and walked quickly forward, greeting the figure who was going to cross the corner.
"It turned out to be Albert!" Hertok stopped and looked at Albert with a little surprise, his eyes fell on Isabel next to him, and asked with a smile, "Don't introduce the lady next to you." ?"
"This is Isabel, my girlfriend," Albert began to introduce both parties. "This is Hertok Duggworth, a famous potion master, I have mentioned to you before. "
"How will you be here."
"I need birds and snake eggs. Come and see Mr. Kettlebo, I heard he is sick."
"You sold that house to Mr. Kettlebo?" Albert had already guessed the reason.
"Yeah, I heard him say that I was going to retire, so I gave him the house on Hogsmeade." Hertok said with a smile: "You know, I rarely come here and stay in the house. It is also a waste."
After Albert Feature asked Isobel for advice, the two followed Hertok into a secluded street and came to the last house.
It has been carefully taken care of, the weeds in the garden have turned into flowers, and a shed has been built next to it.
"I thought Professor Keitelberg would stay in the hospital for training."
"Mr. Kettlebo wasn't very relieved of his cuteness, so he came back."
The one who opened the door for them was a house elf who was probably sent from Hogwarts to take care of Professor Kettlebo's daily life.
Professor Kettlebo was very happy that someone came to visit him and followed them casually to chat about some recent events.
"I saw in the newspaper that Mr. Damocles had released the Potion of Wolf's Venom." Mr. Keitelberg looked at Hertok with perplexity and confusion. He thought that the Potion of Wolf's Venom was invented by Hertok.
"It was Damocles who originally proposed to use the toxin of aconitum chamaejasme to make a wolfman's wolf poison potion to restrain werewolves. The potion appeared a long time ago, but there was a problem with the raw materials and configuration." Hertok explained with a smile, "Later , He invited us to help improve this medicine. I remember Albert was very helpful in the first place."
Professor Keitelberg looked at Albert in surprise, and the latter shook his head and said that he had made some suggestions.
"However, the price is a bit expensive. I don't think the werewolf can afford it." Professor Keitelberg shook his head. "By the way, how many birds and snake eggs do you need."
"One...no, two." Hertok changed his words temporarily, thinking of the need just in case.
"I asked Clark to bring it to you." Professor Keitelberg did not refuse, but sighed lightly. "There should have been eight birds and snake eggs, but somehow, when I checked, I found two missing. ."
"Has it been stolen?"
"I don't know, I don't remember anymore." Professor Kettlebo said.
Albert's brows rose slightly, which reminded him of Lockhart's scam. After all, he needed bird and snake eggs to make his bird and snake egg yolk shampoo.
"Maybe, you gave Professor Lockhart? I remember his bird and snake egg yolk shampoo needs bird and snake eggs." Albert unceremoniously snapped the pot onto Lockhart's head. Which guy is the most suspicious?
"Bird and snake egg yolk shampoo?" Hertok raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Professor Lockhart gave me a bottle last time. I haven't used it yet. It's here." Albert said as he took out the shampoo from the deformed lizard skin bag.
"I've heard of this stuff. It's sold on the black market. It's said to be a little dangerous when used, but the effect is very good." It's not even considered."
"That's a shameful waste. I really don't know why Dumbledore agreed to become a Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts." Keitelbur had a lot of opinions on Lockhart's Bird and Snake Egg Yolk Shampoo. The main ingredient of the toy is the yolk of the bird and snake egg.
"Okay, don't get excited, you should take care of the disease first." Hertok soothed. After the house-raising elf took the bird and snake egg, the few people did not disturb Professor Kettlebo again, got up and left. .
"Do you think it's Professor Lockhart?" Isabel asked suddenly after separating from Hertok.
"Don't you think the Defense Against the Dark Arts professors are suspicious every year?" Albert changed the subject after speaking, "Is there a place I want to go?"
"Go to the three broomsticks for a drink, and then go back." Isobel hesitated, but still asked, "Have you ever asked Mr. Hertok about beauty potions?"
"Of course I asked." Albert didn't hide it. "He said that the witch Sakrisa Tagwood, who used to specialize in beauty medicine, also mentioned similar ideas, and even spent a lot of time doing research, but It was never successful."
"Yes, it is impossible to succeed so easily."
"If you want, I can help you ask." Albert said suddenly, "The descendants of the Saklysa Tugwood witch may still keep previous research materials."
Albert thought he could find inspiration from others, maybe he would succeed?
Although it's not good to have a fluke, it's okay to give it a try.
"Actually, you want to see it yourself!"
Isobel looked at Albert rather speechlessly, but nodded, fearing that his notes and research records at the time were lost.
Most wizards don't pay as much attention to knowledge as they think, especially things that cannot make money. The beauty potion invented by the witch Saklysa Tagwood is no secret today.
