Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 673: Little tricks

Albert and Isobel followed Hertok, laughing and chatting about unhealthy topics.

The three walked down Wizard Row for a while before seeing Hetok turn into a modest shop with a sign that said "Wand over a cauldron".

This is a pharmacy.

At least, after entering the store with Hetok, the first impression of Albert was that of a pharmacy.

A variety of potions are displayed on shelves in the shop, with their effects and specific prices posted on them.

"Is this supposed to be a spirit potion?" Isobel was surprised to find that there was a bottle of golden potion in the display cabinet on the inside.

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

Albert and Isobel understood when Hetok said this.

Not only Fulings, but also various illegal potions.

The potions mentioned in "Powerful Potion" can probably be found here, and there are no shortage of Veritaserum and compound potions.

In another showcase, there are also quite a few potion raw materials, most of which are contraband.

"I'm curious how the French Ministry of Magic didn't let anyone seal it up." Albert muttered softly, looking at the cabinet full of prohibited items.

"The business here is completely legal. Many things cannot be bought without access, and no one dares to sell illegal items." Hetok handed the gold membership card and suitcase to the receptionist at the counter, and handed them over to the other party. A letter, after withdrawing the gold membership card, he lowered his voice and said, "Help me see if I can get these ingredients."

"Okay, Mr. Huttock."

“Do I need a membership card to buy contraband?”

"Yes." Hetok nodded, "You come with me."

There is also a counter on the inner side of the store. When Hertok led the two over, the witch behind the counter bowed slightly to him, "Long time no see, Mr. Hertok."

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

"Okay. Who are these two?" Jessica looked at Albert and Isobel curiously with wide eyes.

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

"Okay, please fill out the form first, and then pay for the exam." Jessica looked Albert up and down and couldn't help asking, "This should be Mr. Albert Anderson, last year. The one who won the International Wizarding Chess Championship didn't expect to be good at potions."

Albert didn't answer, pretending to be filling out the form seriously. Isobel next to her seemed to want to laugh, but she still held back her laughter. She knew that Albert didn't like others talking about this.

"Okay, here it is."

The two filled out the form and handed over the coins.

The entrance exam for the Extraordinary Apothecary Society is very expensive, about ten Galleons in the UK.

Of course, Albert paid for the money, so it was impossible for Hertok to help pay for it.

It's just that he didn't pay the French side's magic coins, but paid directly with Galleons.

Jessica had obviously encountered such a thing, she just accepted Garen with a smile, and found change from the cash drawer, and then made a please gesture towards the stone door next to her.

"Follow me!"

Hertok led the two into the stone gate, as if passing through the platform nine and three-quarters, and they appeared in an empty hall. What caught the eye was the wizard's fountain, the one with the cauldron in his hand. It looks a little weird.

"That's the founder of the Extraordinary Apothecary Society: Hetok Dagworth Granger." Hetok introduced to the two with a hint of pride in his tone, "What he is actually holding is The golden cauldron is the golden cauldron of the Magic School Potions Tournament. As for those light golden springs, it is a kind of diluted potion. Drinking it can make people feel happy. Would you like to try it?”

"Forget it." Albert didn't intend to drink such a thing of unknown origin. However, he thinks it's really right, maybe he can provide more interesting inspiration for Weasley's joke shop here.

"The euphoria?" Isobel also had no interest in tasting it, and guessed the name of the potion according to Hetok's description.

"Yes, the euphoria is also one of the contents of the assessment. Generally, you need to randomly select one of several common medicines, and then prepare them within the specified time. Determine whether there is any addition to the finished medicine according to the prepared medicine. The qualifications of the Extraordinary Wizarding Association." Hetok explained.

"So, as long as the potion level isn't too bad, it shouldn't be difficult to join the Extraordinary Apothecary Association after taking a few more tests." Albert didn't say a word: that's more expensive.

Actually, as long as there are acquaintances in the association, a little collection of the types of potions, and special training, it shouldn't be too difficult.

"Isn't this Hettock? What wind brought you here."

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

"Oh, what's the matter, Bernard?" Hertok's tone was cold, and he obviously 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 here. Is this your student?"

"No." Hetok looked impatient.

"By the way, this is my grandson Guy, who just passed the entrance exam for the Association and plans to participate in the Magic School Potions Championships this year." Bernard's tone was full of pride and bragging that could not be concealed. That tone made people think that his grandson had already won the Potions Championship.

"By the way, no one in the UK has won a Magic School Potions Championship since you."

"Hello!" Guy's eyes lit up when he saw Isobel, staring straight at each other, and couldn't wait to reach out to say hello, "I'm Guy Bernard, Beauxbatons Magic College students."

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

"Hello, Mr. Bernard." Albert took the other's hand with a smirk on his face and introduced: "I'm Albert, Albert Anderson. This beautiful man next to me The girl is Miss Isobel McDougall."

His tone suddenly stopped, and he reminded faintly, "If you want to chase this beautiful girl, you'd better be careful, because her boyfriend is very careful."

Hetok's cheeks twitched a few times. After hearing this, Isobel couldn't hold back even more, and he burst out laughing.

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

When Bernard's grandson and grandson left, Isobel said with a smile, "How can you say that about yourself."

"Who made him so unpretentious, and I'm really a squeamish person."

"The guy with his nose turned upside down is 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 to the field of potions. , Damocles was also hung here a while ago, that's the one."

"Because of the wolf poison potion?"

"What about yours?"

"Mine is on the other side~IndoMTL.com~ Hetok pointed to the other wall further away.

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

"I don't mean to hate him, I just don't like his way of doing things. Bernard just became the president of the Extraordinary Wizarding Association." Hetok said lightly, "He is not a pure pharmacist, many people say Bernard has made the Society of Extraordinary Wizards a mess, in fact, it's pretty much as you might guess."

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

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

The person in charge of the test was an old wizard who knew Hetok. After a few chats, the two took the twelve chapter cards for them to draw. They said that after drawing that card, they prepared the card. The medicine on the card.

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

This makes Albert suspect that all twelve cards are euphoria.

When the old wizard went to prepare materials for them, Isobel whispered to Albert that the twelve cards were actually euphoria.

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

"It seems that Bernard's grandson is not as talented as he said." Hetock's tone was rather disdainful, "Don't be surprised, this is Bernard's little trick, Mr. Eugene obviously forgot to put the Those cards have been rearranged, allowing Bernard to accidentally reveal a flaw."
