Settle at Hogwarts
Chapter 45 Bock
Taking the potion from Slughorn, Tabor curiously opened the lid and smelled it.
"Potion potion?"
"Yes, that guy today is not a good person. You'd better not have direct contact with him."
Tabor ran upstairs and entered his room in a familiar manner. As soon as he opened the door, he found a robe that was obviously worn by adults on his bed.
"It's true, the arrangements are clear!" Tabor murmured, but there was a little warmth in his heart that he was being noticed.
Although he is not a real 11-year-old child, Tabor does not hate this feeling.
Walking to the mirror, Tabor raised the potion in his hand.
"cheers."
"vomit!!!"
Tabor felt like he was growing taller, his throat felt like it was on fire, and then the flames flowed through his body, making his whole body seem to be burning.
The originally well-fitting school robe gradually began to cling tightly to Tabor's body, and was about to burst.
Tubo resisted the overwhelming feeling of nausea and tore off all the clothes on his body. At the same time, he also tried hard to suppress his body's instinctive resistance to the Polyjuice Potion.He didn't want the potion, which was originally effective enough, to be decomposed by his body and suddenly lose effectiveness before he was ready.
If the Polyjuice Potion really failed in a public place like a tavern, it would really be a large-scale shooting scene.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for the Polyjuice Potion to transform, and Tubo soon felt that his horizons had become much broader.What appeared in the mirror was an unfamiliar face. Except for the eye-catching medium-length blond hair, this person's facial features looked unusually low-key.If placed in a novel, it would only take a few words at most to describe all of his characteristics.
Tabor didn't bother with the school uniform that fell on the floor, but directly picked up the robe on the bed and put it on himself.
"Koko?"
With a "pop!", the house elf of the Prince family appeared in front of Tubo.Tabor always felt that Koko's arrival this time seemed to be much faster than before.
"Little Master, you finally summoned Koko!"
Keke's big eyes seemed to be filled with tears, and she wiped her greasy hands on her bib in excitement.
"Koko, what were you doing before?"
"Koko is preparing lunch. Keke roasted a delicious duck. Do you want to try it, little master?"
Tubber shook his head. He didn't know where Slughorn was taking him yet, so it was impossible to determine the time for lunch.
"Koko, didn't you always call me Young Master?" Tabor wanted to know if his grandparents said something that made Koko change his name.
Keke stared at his big tennis-ball eyes and said with some excitement: "The old master and the old lady said that as long as little master Tabor can become a master of potions, then his name will be added to the family tree, and even the master I also agreed. Keke believes that little Master Tabor will be able to succeed."
"Genealogy?" Tabor couldn't help but reveal a touch of sarcasm. He and his parents didn't care much about these things, but in the eyes of some people, he, a guy who didn't even have a genealogy, and an illegitimate child should be the same. There's no difference.
"Koko, what happened to my grandfather recently?" Tabor asked directly. He was not worried that Koko would tell his grandfather what he asked.
"Old Master, Old Master has not brewed potion for many days, and..."
Tabor saw that Koko's mouth was open but no sound came out, and he knew that it must be restricted by magic and could not tell others about his grandfather's true condition.
"Okay, Keke will help me sort out my school robe. I'll wear it when I come back later." After finishing speaking, Tabor opened the door and walked out.
Time for the Polyjuice Potion was limited, and Tubbo couldn't possibly take too long.And from what Koko said just now, as well as Slughorn's somewhat impatient behavior, Tabor could infer that his grandfather, the only potions master in the Prince family, must have had some accident.He couldn't even wait for Irene to grow up, so he wanted to drag himself back to support his appearance.
"Tub, how do you feel? I went to find a Muggle specifically to get a piece of hair. The wizarding world guarantees that no information about you can be found."
Slughorn also knew that Polyjuice Potion was time-sensitive, so he didn't stay any longer and turned around to lead Tubble out of the manor.
"Professor, who are we going to meet? Is there anything else we need to pay attention to?"
"The father of Caractacus, the head of the Bock family. Their family's business is concentrated in the alley. What needs to be noted is that you cannot touch anything around Mr. Bock, even if it looks non-threatening. However, , their family’s access is really wide, and they can get a lot of rare materials. Of course, some less commonly used potions can also be given to them.”
Tabor suddenly thought that Caractacus seemed to be Bojinbok in the future, and he suddenly had a deeper understanding of their family.
Thinking about it this way, the Slytherins' fear of Caractacus must have been influenced by the family behind him.
Slughorn did not use phantom to go to Tumble Alley as Tubber imagined, but went around to the edge of Hogsmeade.
"Put on the hood."
Tubber didn't speak, just pulled up his hood, and then followed Slughorn into a shabby and small bar.
The light in the bar was dim and filled with the pungent smell of alcohol.
Tubber didn't know if this was the legendary Pig's Head Bar, because he didn't see any Pig's Head sign, and he didn't see anyone who looked like Dumbledore in the bar.
Most of the people here are dressed the same as Tabor is now. They are wrapped in large black robes, and it is impossible to distinguish any identity information.
Slughorn kept walking and sat directly by the window, where a man in black robes was already sitting, stroking a ring on his hand.
"You came a little late today!" A sinister voice came from the mouth of the man in black robe.
"Don't worry about these details. Have you brought what I want?" Slughorn asked straightforwardly, not wanting to be polite.
"Of course, of course. But won't you introduce this gentleman?"
Slughorn shook his head: "There is no need, he will not be involved in our transaction."
"Hey, whoa, whoa, is that so? It seems that one of your students has been brought out by you to gain experience? But this collection seems to be better than the last one. At least he is very obedient."
Burke, the man in black robe, took out a small bag and placed it on the table, indicating that Slughorn could take a look first.
Then he turned his attention to Tabor, who was silent and motionless like a wooden figure beside him.
"Potion potion?"
"Yes, that guy today is not a good person. You'd better not have direct contact with him."
Tabor ran upstairs and entered his room in a familiar manner. As soon as he opened the door, he found a robe that was obviously worn by adults on his bed.

What needs to be noted is that you cannot touch anything around Mr. Bock, even if it looks non-threatening. However, , their family’s access is really wide, and they can get a lot of rare materials.
