time at hogwarts

9. Study



The already gloomy sky over London became even gloomier because of the thunderstorm, and the day was almost indistinguishable from the night.In a castle shrouded in heavy rain, Magos's mood was as depressing and irritable as the weather.

This is one of the larger rooms on the fourth floor of the castle. It has been renovated according to Magos's requirements and looks like a small library.He transformed the room into a hexagonal room. There was a large window on one side, but it was now covered by a curtain. In front of the window, there was an iron frame for Xiaobai to stand. Xiaobai was the snow owl he bought. .He sorted the books he bought on the bookshelves on each side. There was a large square table on the left and right sides of the room, filled with various test tubes, scales and herbs. There was a figure of about 1.4 meters tall. He looked at the test tube in his hand intently, and then put it back decadently.

It has been almost a month since Magos last went to the Leaky Cauldron. As he expected, his father did not allow him to drop out of school, but also relaxed the restrictions. He must go there 4 days a week. The weather is not good today. There is no past.This way he has enough time to study the things in the book, but maybe because he is young and his magic power is too weak, he can only cast three or four spells without any magic power now, and the success rate is not Very high.

This is good, at least he has learned a few magic potions. As for potions, I don’t know if it was because there was no systematic teaching from anyone that caused him to use up all the magic herbs without successfully making a potion. This made him He was frustrated and upset.Finally, I took a look at the liquid in the test tube, which was obviously different in color from the one in the book. I took a deep breath and rubbed my head vigorously with my hands. I walked up to Xiaobai and touched its little head. Xiaobai called out twice in comfort. .

Opening the curtains and looking at the rainy day outside, Magos felt that this was very similar to his current mood.This window is specially made. In addition to being able to be opened on both sides, the bottom piece of glass can be propped up. This allows Xiaobai to go out freely in such weather without letting the rain come in. After all, this room is The door needs to be locked, and the things inside are a bit shocking to ordinary people.He held up the glass and stared outside for a while, then turned around and told Xiaobai that he could go out for some air if he felt bored, but he couldn't fill the inside with water. Xiaobai called out twice more, probably in response, then spread his wings and flew out. Out of sight in the blink of an eye, Magos turned back, picked up his wand, walked to the door, opened it and walked out.

"Master, if Madam wants you to come out, go to her side." As soon as he went out, he saw a servant coming over.

"Okay, I'll be there right away. You go down first."

"Okay, Master." Magos watched the servant leave his sight.Go back and aim your wand at the door lock.

"Quick confinement." A white light shot out from the wand and penetrated into the door lock. This was one of the few basic spells Magos learned, the door locking spell. In fact, this was his private space, and no one would break in rashly. Yes, but the purpose of casting spells is mainly to show off, otherwise there is no difference between learning not to use it and not learning it.

"Not bad, it was successful in one try." The successful casting of the spell made Magos's irritable mood much better.

'As long as the iron pestle is ground into a needle, I won't believe it.Next, we need to go to Diagon Alley to buy some herbs. '

Magos thought as he walked downstairs.

"Mom, you called me?"

"Little Goss, would you have come down if I didn't call you? Don't lock yourself in that room all day long. Come out for a walk when you have nothing to do. Look at you, your body is not as strong as it used to be." Mrs. Weir Edela Angel held Magos's hand distressedly and said.

"Don't worry, Mom. I'm in good health. I'm not in there every day. I still have to go to school. It would be great if I could convince my dad to let me go to school."

Mrs. Will sneered.

"Don't even think about it. Even if your father agrees, I won't agree. I haven't even gone to school there yet. I just lock myself in the room every day. If I really want you to stop going to school, what can you do? come out?"

Magos couldn't help but curled his lips, thinking that learning new things certainly requires a long time of reading and thinking. Plus, it's normal for him to do experiments and stay in the room every day. Besides, those scientists and so on Working on a project year after day doesn’t mean being stuck in the same place.

As he was thinking about it, Magos's eyes suddenly lit up. Yes, my potion fails every time and I can't find out the reason. But I can first read books on chemistry, physics, and medicine. Maybe I can find out my shortcomings. I didn't listen. It is said that potions must use magic. After all, I was also a college student at one time, so I don’t need to be proficient in it. It is enough for reference.

Just as he thought, Magos threw himself into his mother's arms and hugged her hard.She ran away before she could react.

"Mom, I suddenly remembered that I need to use something, so I won't accompany you. I'll go out and take a look."

By the time Mrs. Will reacted, Magos had already disappeared.

"This child..."

Earl Will was not at home, so Magos ran directly to Burton.

"Burton, take me to the bookstore where I went."

  "Master, it's raining so hard. What if I catch a cold? Why don't we go tomorrow?" Burton said with some embarrassment.

"It's okay. Anyway, I'll be in the car. Then you can park directly in front of the bookstore, and there's an umbrella too. I won't be able to get wet, so let's go."

"Okay, Master, please slow down." Burton reluctantly agreed when he saw that no one came out to stop him.

Soon they arrived at the big bookstore.

"Burton, park the car and find a place to rest for a while. I may not go back until later."

"Okay, Master, I'm in the coffee shop not far away. If you need something, just wave your hand and I'll see it." When Magos nodded, Burton drove away.

When he walked into the bookstore, there was no one there except the clerk. McGoss was not happy to shop any longer. He went straight to the book he wanted to buy. He bought a total of mathematics, chemistry and physics from beginner to advanced level, as well as some medical books. Of course he I also specifically asked the store clerk how many books on Chinese medicine and herbal medicine to buy.There were a lot of books, and McGoss was not happy to take them to the bar. He called Burton to put them in the car and then asked him to leave.

Open your umbrella and walk out of the bookstore and walk into the bar when no one is looking.Only Burton saw his sudden disappearance, but he had been informed of the situation a long time ago, so he was not surprised. He only glanced from time to time to see if Magos had come out.

As soon as I entered the bar, I heard a huge noise. It seemed that there were many people in the bar today.After taking a closer look, I found that it was already full of people. Maybe because of the bad weather, everyone came over to chat and spank.Magos put the umbrella in his storage bag and squeezed in.

"Hi, Mr. Will, why are you here today? You haven't been here for almost a month." Tom joked when he saw McGoss.

"Hey, I have to read some books after buying them. I came here today to buy some medicinal herbs."

"Oh, that's great. I've started to learn Potions on my own." He lowered his voice and whispered to Magos: "Professor Severus Sleep, the Potions teacher at Hogwarts, is here today. Here, didn't you say you wanted to find someone to teach you last time? If you want, you can ask him."

Magos's eyes lit up, "Slip, you really made the right decision to go out today by such a coincidence, but when you think of the character of Sleep in the novel, Magos was troubled. If he went to ask for advice, Sleep would be a mistake to himself." Ridicule, ridicule, ridicule... I feel a little timid.

But when I think about how cold-faced and kind-hearted he is in the novel, even if he hates Harry Potter so much, he has not changed his mind at all.Thinking of this, Magos rubbed his face to make himself smile more naturally, and looked in the direction Tom pointed.

A middle-aged man with greasy black hair, a hooked nose, sallow skin and a serious face came into view. He was talking to someone, but even so, his eyes looked very cold, making people involuntarily leave his sight. .Suddenly he paused as if he felt something, and suddenly turned his head to look at Magos, who was staring at him.

Magos's heart shrank when he saw that look. What kind of look was that? There was no emotion at all. It was like a pool of stagnant water. He stared at you as if he wasn't looking at you.

McGoss subconsciously wanted to leave his sight, but for some reason he didn't and walked over to meet his gaze. He noticed that the voices of the people here were inexplicably quieter. When McGoss walked up to Sleep, the whole bar had gone silent. When they stood down, it seemed that all the wizards were paying attention to them.

Slip watched Magos coming, with no wavering on his face, and his eyes were as emotionless as before.

Magos, who was already a little nervous, became even more nervous because of the silence and the attention of everyone.

"Hello, my name is McGoss Will. I, I heard that you are a professor at Hogwarts, so I wanted to ask you some questions." McGoss stuttered. over.

After hearing what Magos said, Slip turned his head without any expression and said nothing.Everyone in the bar burst into good-natured laughter.

"Little wizard, don't be afraid, you can ask me, haha."

"That's it Severus, don't mind the little one."

.........

"Severus, you scared our little wizard."

.........

.........

"Little guy, just ask him directly, this guy has facial paralysis."

Magos, who was blushing from the laughter, slowly calmed down after hearing these kind words.Thank everyone around you naturally.

Even in the face of everyone's laughter, Slip's expression did not waver and he did not speak.

McGoss didn't know whether the last sentence was true or false, so he spoke out a problem that was bothering him with the mentality of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

"Hello, Professor Sleep, I don't know why. I follow the instructions in the textbook to treat scabies, but the potion I make always has no effect at all?"
