Chapter 423: Anonymous gift
Herb has become accustomed to Albert\'s practice of using British National Lottery pounds for family dinners. Anyway, family dinners are not many, and it is undoubtedly a pleasure to enjoy food in high-end restaurants.
In order to cover up this matter, Herb and Daisy will spend a small amount of money to buy a few national lottery tickets every month, otherwise they will win the lottery every time, which is suspicious.
On the day before school started, Albert went to King’s Cross Station to take the Hogwarts Express and returned to school with the other students.
In the carriage, Lee Jordan couldn\'t help but complain about Snape giving Albert a Christmas present.
Albert had already seen the parchment in the parcel sent by Snape, and it was indeed a recipe for a potion.
The pot of cockroaches in the package is also real. It is estimated that they are bred and need special treatment before use. They are sold in pharmacies. There are other potions. They are not precious, but they are all potions. The raw materials used are put together and several common medicinal materials are added together to create a potion called nagging soup. Drinking it will make people talk nonsense uncontrollably.
Merlin\'s beard!
If anyone knows that the raw materials for nagging soup are these things, no one would dare to touch this stuff.
To be honest, Albert was very satisfied with Snape\'s knowledge of potions, and he could actually find such a potion formula. A potion professor gave his protégé a Christmas gift related to potions, which made sense.
Is Albert Snape\'s proud pupil?
To some extent, it is indeed.
Moreover, the recipe for that nagging soup was improved by Snape himself, and it was considered a precious gift.
However, Albert estimated that Snape\'s eight achievements were to give himself some unexpected surprises.
After listening to Albert\'s analysis, Lee Jordan expressed disagreement with Snape\'s evil taste, and simply stated that if Albert dared to drink this disgusting thing for him one day, the two sides would break off their friendship.
Especially after reading the nagging soup recipe on the parchment paper, Lee Jordan said that his weak mind was severely hit, and he needed Albert\'s holiday homework to suppress his shock and prepare to copy it... for reference.
Hogwarts professors always like to give them a lot of homework during the holidays, which is particularly annoying.
Lee Jordan desperately rushed to do his vacation homework yesterday, but still failed to finish all the vacation homework, so he could only find excuses to seek Albert\'s help.
After consultations, Albert finally agreed to give Lee Jordan the reference to the paper on shrinking medicine.
No way, since the Snowman incident, the life of Albert’s three friends has become more and more difficult. Snape really couldn’t get Albert’s troubles, but occasionally asked Fred, George and Lee Jordan. The trouble is okay. Snape didn\'t even need to do anything specially, as long as he had time to pay more attention to the three of them, they would be unlucky enough.
If he didn\'t do his vacation homework, Lee Jordan would definitely be out of luck, and Snape was now wishing to have an excuse to trouble them.
"I bet that Fred and George must have not finished it either." With Albert\'s help, Lee Jordan began to indulge in his own dissertation of shrinking potion.
In fact, Lee Jordan guessed it right. Most of the Weasley twins\' minds are no longer studying. They are working hard to specialize in joke props.
After the two returned to Hogwarts Castle in a night-riding carriage, Fred and George came out to welcome them without warning, and they also enthusiastically sent a few pieces of candy, and by the way they wanted to appreciate Albert’s Holiday homework.
"Don\'t you make something strange again?"
Lee Jordan looked at the candies warily. He didn\'t mean to touch them. He didn\'t forget how he was scammed by these two guys.
"Candies made from the syrup of the sad worms will feel very sad in your mouth."
Seeing that neither of them were going to try, George unpacked the candy and threw it in his mouth.
Sadness candy works well. After a while, the smile on George\'s face disappeared, showing a sentimental expression, and even began to sob in a low voice, and soon cried.
The amazing changes in George\'s face made Lee Jordan stunned, and he never thought that the effect of Heartbreak Candy would be so good.
"We added a large amount of syrup produced by the sad worm." George explained to them sadly, this is a completely loss-making business.
"Maybe, we can produce a small amount of sad candy, but never expect mass production, it will drain every gallon in our pockets."
"It\'s really a sad thing." Albert smiled and patted George on the shoulder. The effect of this candy was much stronger than he expected.
"Well, that\'s probably the case."
Fred suffocated himself to laugh, and handed a candy to George~www.mtlnovel.com~ After the latter finished eating, the sentimentality on his face was immediately replaced by a smile, but the smile looked a little bit stupid.
"The antidote is almost there, but it can\'t completely eliminate the effect of the drug."
Fred pointed to the smirk on George’s face and explained helplessly, “That’s the sequelae caused by Arriot’s leaves. Of course, it won’t take long, um, about ten seconds before this weak sequelae will Disappear completely."
"Good start!" Albert comforted the two of them a few words, and then shifted the topic of small talk: "Have you opened the package that didn\'t write the sender?"
Fred and George looked at each other and shook their heads together and said: "We think this kind of interesting thing should be kept for sharing with everyone, so we temporarily kept the unnamed package and waited for you to return to school. Drive together again."
"Then open it now, I am also a little curious, which guy sent me the Christmas present anonymously." Albert mumbled, "I always think there is nothing good in it."
"We tested it with the Honesty Detector, and there was no response to the curse, but..." Fred hesitated and reminded, "I think it\'s better to be careful when opening the package."
No way, there is Snape\'s case first, who knows what\'s in the package.
They took the package to the common room. As no one wanted to open the package, Albert had to use a spell to open the package far away.
Under the eyes of everyone, a yellow-green liquid suddenly sprayed out from the package the moment it was opened, like a grenade exploding, the liquid splashed everywhere, and a pungent gasoline smell instantly filled the whole lounge.
"Fortunately, I was far enough away and I almost got hit. It\'s really insidious!" Fred cursed in a low voice, and was almost splashed by an unknown liquid just now.
