Chapter 730: Lucky Spirit (Wrong Time Again)

After Harry got some sleep, he told Ron and Hermione what happened this morning and what Fish had thought of.

"You were right not to go to Professor Slughorn right away." Hermione nodded in agreement while stroking the purring tabby cat in her arms.

"Even, I think you'd better wait a few days to let Professor Slughorn calm down..." She looked down at the cat in her arms, and after hesitating for a moment, she continued politely: "If you can It would be best to apologize to him. After all...well...it's not good to be sure that the other person helped Voldemort when you are not sure of the specific memory."

"Meow!"

(=`Д=)

Fish turned his head decisively.

He didn't feel that he had said or done anything wrong, so it was impossible for him to apologize to Professor Slughorn!

Harry smiled bitterly, scratched his head, and said, "I'll go apologize in two days."

(=)

The cat licked its fur and rubbed its face, pretending not to hear.

In the past, even if Harry apologized on his behalf, Fish would not agree. After all, in Maomao's view, he would not necessarily apologize even if he got into trouble, let alone if he didn't get into trouble.

But now, he also knew that this was to get the truth out of Slughorn as soon as possible, so he didn't bother to stop it.

However, Harry's apology plan was ultimately not implemented...

He originally thought that after the inquiry on Sunday morning, Professor Slughorn would distance himself from Fish, but Harry still underestimated the collecting desire of a "Squirrel Party".

During Monday's Potions class, Professor Slughorn praised Harry as always, and after the Potions class ended, he took the initiative to find Harry.

"Relax, Harry," he saw Harry's uneasiness, and smiled kindly: "I'm not here to blame you and Fish... You must have been under Dumbledore's instructions at that time, right? "

Harry nodded subconsciously.

Professor Slughorn raised his eyebrows, his ivory-like beard trembled comically twice, and continued: "I can understand his urgency. The existence of the mysterious man is difficult for most wizards and Muggles. , It’s not a good thing, and I would like to contribute if I can.”

"So, Professor, are you planning to hand over that real memory to me?" Harry's eyes lit up and he asked eagerly.

"Uh..." The expression on Professor Slughorn's face froze for a moment, and then he immediately said with a dry smile: "I have made it very clear to you and Dumbledore that that memory is real. I really don’t have any clues about Horcruxes here.”

"But, those white mist..."

Harry still wanted to argue, but was interrupted by Professor Slughorn.

"Oh, Harry, that's just because I can't remember clearly," he said in a tone that sounded sincere but actually made Harry feel hypocritical, as if he had already prepared his words. I'm not young anymore, so it's normal for me to have trouble remembering some things. You have to understand an old man's memory."

"Can……"

"In addition!" Professor Slughorn interrupted Harry again, "I have to say sorry to you and Fish." He actually apologized to the two of them in turn: "I didn't mean to show my direction yesterday morning. You just get angry...when you get up, elderly people will be in a worse mood if they don't get enough sleep."

What he said was both pretending to be pitiful and proactively apologizing, making Harry feel embarrassed to continue questioning him.

While Harry was saying nothing, Professor Slughorn was already preparing to leave.

"Okay, that's it. I have nothing more to tell you about that memory. I have a banquet in two days, so remember to come."

After saying that, Professor Slughorn quickly disappeared in front of Harry on his short legs without waiting for Harry to react.

In the following period of time, Professor Slughorn did not change much, except that whenever Harry talked about Horcruxes and that memory, he would find various excuses to get away, making Harry's expected words continue. There was no time to say it.

Fish simply gave up after following Harry to find him a few times.

But Maomao also has his own reasons——

"Aren't you worried that Fish said the wrong thing? Albus won't let Fish take action, and Horace's attitude is always so good. Fish can't find an excuse to do it, Meow..."

(ΦωΦ)

Cat plausibly patted Harry on the shoulder and said, "So, it's all up to you, Harry!"

"By the way, didn't you say you were going to try using the Felixir?" Ron asked.

"But as soon as I talk about that matter, Professor Slughorn will find an excuse to leave, even if he uses Felixir..." Harry replied with a frown.

During this period of time, he also specifically asked Hermione to help him understand what the Felicity Potion could do, and then he learned that the so-called "good luck" is actually mainly about your abilities in various aspects, such as social skills. , magic ability, reaction ability, etc., have all been greatly improved, so people feel that everything goes smoothly.

Of course, Fuling Elixir does have the ability to increase luck, or reduce misfortune, because one of its main ingredients contains something called Motera Tumor, which is a sea tumor that grows on the back of Motera Rats. Even if the sunflower-shaped tumor is pickled and eaten alone, it can enhance the eater's resistance to curses and bad luck.

Therefore, although the Fortune Elixir can indeed increase a person's luck, it does not make people's wishes come true. To be precise, its effect is to greatly reduce your probability of failure and guide you to make the most correct choice.

But if there is something that cannot be successful or even carried out, then no matter how much blessing elixir you drink, it will not help. For example, even if Harry drank the Felixir, Voldemort would not die immediately. If Professor Slughorn refused to talk, he would not be able to ask anything out of him.

This was also the reason why Harry had not used Felixir - he didn't want to waste such a precious potion.

"However, Felixir may also create an opportunity for Professor Slughorn to talk to you." Hermione felt it was necessary to give it a try. "Anyway, if it's just a conversation, you don't have to drink it all. It can be used sparingly. ”

Harry was stunned. He had not considered this possibility before.

At this time Fei Xu also spoke: "It's okay, meow!"

(ΦωΦ)

Maomao patted his chest and said, "Just use it, and then... um... about three months later, Fish will give you another bottle!" Maomao counted on his fingers and promised Harry.

His confidence naturally came from Snape.

Although the elixir he had asked Snape to prepare was still being made, Fish also went to see it several times, and there was a full cauldron! And according to Snape, there are still a lot of materials that have not been put in, and the final product is at least as much as two standard potion bottles.

Harry knew that Snape was helping Fish prepare the elixir, but he didn't want or dare to ask for the elixir prepared by Snape. Who knows if the elixir would have a special effect on him...

This was not Harry's random imagination, but he had seen similar notes in the Half-Blood Prince's book "Advanced Potion Making" - a certain kind of potion that would only work for a specific person.

Although judging from the notes, it was just some idea of ​​Snape's and he didn't really give a plan. However, these were just notes from his student days. God knows whether they are perfected now.

In addition, Harry also guessed that Snape had such an idea, probably because he originally wanted to use it against his father and godfather...

"Uh... That's not necessary..." Harry decisively rejected Fish's kindness, "Hermione is right, I only need to take a small sip before going to find Professor Slughorn, and it will last for an hour. , even just half an hour.”

Harry figured it out and no longer hesitated. He planned to wait until after the curfew at night, then put on the invisibility cloak and go to Professor Slughorn's office to find him.

Time soon arrived at night, and Harry took out the Felixir and Invisibility Cloak he had hidden, and then, as usual, he and Ron were in the common room scratching their heads over the heavy homework.

After everyone else returned to their dormitories one after another, he took out the small sparkling bottle from his pocket, pinched it and took a sip.

"How's it going, meow?"

(ω)

Fish stared at Harry with burning eyes and asked curiously: "Does it taste good, meow?"

Ahem...the timing is wrong again...

…

In addition, you may not believe it when I tell you...I was injured by my own shower gel...

Yesterday when I was taking a shower, I accidentally knocked off the shower gel on the shelf next to it. It was the kind of package with a push-button faucet, and then the faucet made a cut on my body...

That kind of faucet has a very blunt head, and it is basically impossible to scratch someone, but the distance is just right, and it just rubs my skin when it falls. If it is farther away, it will not scratch, and if it is closer, it will not hurt. It is just that distance. Scratch people, and then I get scratched…

Moreover, I had just finished shampooing and was rinsing my hair. When I was scratched, foamy water went in immediately... It was so sour and refreshing...

I think I need to keep a bottle of Felixir on hand...
