Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 222: Idiot Maker
"How do you feel?"
Seeing Albert carefully taking a small sip of the Flux, Fred, George and Lee Jordan all swallowed. In fact, they really want to taste the legendary Fuling for themselves and feel the wonderful taste of everything going smoothly.
Unfortunately, there is only a small amount of Fuling.
"Very good, very good, everyone come with me!" Albert walked towards the gloomy and damp forest path ahead with brisk steps.
"Where is this going?" George quickly followed in Albert's footsteps.
"Of course I'm going into the forest to try my luck." Lee Jordan said of course
"You're only half right, we're going to try our luck at Mr. Ketelber's cabin in the woods." Albert explained casually, humming a little tune.
"What to do with Professor Kettleb?" Fred asked, frowning. To be honest, they are not familiar with the professor of magical creatures, and it is not a good idea to go to him now, especially since they have also broken into the forbidden forest in private, and they are considered good-natured without being deducted and detained.
"Don't worry, the situation is not as bad as you think." Albert smiled and reassured, "We are not going to see Professor Ketelber, but to try our luck around the cabin in the woods."
"Do you think there might be a bouncing toadstool near Professor Kettleb's cabin?" George's eyes twinkled, not expecting Albert to give the exact location so quickly.
As expected of a fortune-telling agent, the effect is astonishing.
"Winter is coming."
"What does this have to do with winter."
"Don't interrupt, let Albert finish." Fred glared at Lee Jordan in dissatisfaction, telling him to shut up.
"At this time of year, Professors Hagrid and Ketelber feed the young Thestrals who can't find food to help them survive the cold winter. We need to find a place to feed, if we're lucky. If so, you should be able to find the beating toadstool next to the animal's skeleton."
Albert didn't say one more thing, Keelber kept a group of magical creatures, and if he threw the leftover bones of the magical creatures together, they had a chance to find the jumping toadstool. "
On the way to the hut in the forest, the four of them did not forget to observe the surrounding forest. They did find some strange mushrooms, but these mushrooms were not the beating toadstools they were looking for.
Albert followed the route he remembered, and with the help of Flux, he easily found the cabin in the woods. The four of them began to wander around, and they really let them find the place where Professor Kettleb threw the bones. Overgrown with dense mushrooms.
"I found it." Albert frowned slightly, feeling something was wrong.
Fred, George, and Lee Jordan all took out the gear they had prepared in advance and put them on themselves, ready to go and catch the jumping toadstool. As for why?
Because the jumping toadstools disperse as soon as something gets close.
"By the way, don't you think there are too many bouncing toadstools?" Albert wondered if anyone here was cultivating bouncing toadstools on purpose.
"The number is indeed a lot." The three looked at each other, not understanding what Albert meant.
However, if the number is large, you don't have to worry about catching the jumping toadstool.
It's just that if you break in like this and the spore dust is flying around, it will indeed cause a lot of trouble for a few people. George was going to put a stone inside to scare away those jumping toadstools, and then catch them alone. After all, they had done a lot of homework to catch the jumping toadstool. If they broke into the jumping toadstool like this, they would have to lie down and go back to Hogwarts.
Three, two, one.
Lee Jordan threw stones into the jumping toadstools. The next moment, the group of jumping toadstools exploded and jumped in all directions. During the jumping, a large amount of spore powder was spilled. Before starting, he had already avoided far away.
There is no misfortune here.
"Do it." Albert shouted loudly, and Fred, George and Lee Jordan chased after the jumping toadstools they selected. These guys are more flexible than the jumping toadstools in the greenhouse. The three of them passed by. Chasing, it took a lot of effort to catch the jumping toadstool that was eyeing.
"It's a pity for the rest." George couldn't help sighing as he looked at the beating toadstools that had disappeared.
"It's not a pity, three flowers are enough, let's go back." Albert took out a cloth bag from the pocket of his robe and stuffed the jumping toadstool he caught.
"Why are you here?"
"Uh," Albert turned his head to look at the sudden voice, and found that he had met an acquaintance.
"Mr. Dagworth, why are you here?" Albert asked with a slight frown.
"I've come to Mr. Ketelber to buy snake bird eggshells."
"Fluing Elixir?" Albert immediately realized what potion Dagworth was trying to concoct.
"Well, I've used up the Fuling agent that I made a few years ago, and I'm going to make another batch." Dagworth looked at Albert and asked suspiciously, "You guys catch the bouncing toadstool. what to do?"
"You know there's beating toadstools here," George couldn't help asking.
"It was I who proposed to Mr. Ketelber to throw these bones here to grow the bouncing toadstool."
"You mean all the jumping toadstools here are yours?"
"Every year I come here to harvest a wave of mature bouncing toadstools as raw materials." Dagworth nodded. As a potion master, he has his own stable source of potions~IndoMTL.com~ like he knows Keelbo raises and breeds snakebirds. If he needs snakebird eggshells, he will pay a high price or obtain them through other means. After all, snakebird eggshells are also a difficult material to obtain.
Albert looked at each other in dismay, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Did he get caught by his master?
Dagworth didn't care about these things, and continued to ask, "What are you doing with the bouncing toadstools?"
"Making Buffy Brain Refresher, I heard that it can help others improve their brain power." Albert replied honestly.
"Buffy Brain Refresher?" Dagworth frowned, and his tone suddenly became stern, "You should be aware of the difficulty of Buffy Brain Refresher, if it can't be successfully refined, it will become very dangerous. As far as I know, someone almost became an idiot after drinking that thing last time, and the Ministry of Magic forbids the private making of Bafet."
No way, the Buffy Brain Refresher circulating in the black market is basically a defective product that cannot be used, the kind that may turn into an idiot if you drink it.
Fred and the others naturally knew about these things, but hearing it from a potion master made them feel timid and wanted to back off.
"If, if you really want to make Buffy Brain Refresher, I can help you." Dagworth said to Albert: "But I hope you make sure that you won't make it indiscriminately. Buffy Brain Refresher, let alone the untested Buffy Brain Refresher.”
Dagworth didn't want Albert to drink some weird potion and accidentally turn himself into an idiot.
Such cases are not unheard of in the wizarding world.
Albert was stunned for a moment, a little surprised at Dagworth's proposal, but he simply agreed. After all, there is a potions master to help, so it's not too difficult to learn to make Buffy Brain Refresher by himself. .
