Chapter 678: Norbert is remembered



In addition to Professor McGonagall, Kyle also needs to go to Professor Flitwick and Professor Sprout's offices. After all, every college has students who want to enter the Ministry of Magic.

However, for Slytherin, Snape didn't seem to think they needed Kyle to provide any advice, but this also saved Kyle a lot of time.

For a period of time afterwards, he was busy shuttling between the three deans' offices almost every day, even during class time.

The professors seemed to think that missing a few days of classes was not a big deal for Kyle, so it was not until three days after the start of the school term that Kyle finally walked into the classroom again.

"You're late," Snape said sternly, his voice colder than a dungeon in February.

"Sorry, I just came out of Professor Flitwick's office," Kell explained. "I thought he told you."

"Ah, yes..." Snape dragged out the words, "Senior Minister's Assistant, sitting in such an important position before graduation, how amazing."

There was a hint of mockery in his voice.

"What are you still dawdling about? Do you want me to ask you to go back to your seat?"

Kyle quickly walked to the only empty table and sat down. Connor, who was next to him, turned her head and was about to say something when she was interrupted by Snape's voice.

"Broad-spectrum antidote... a more effective antidote that can even resolve some of the damage caused by black magic..."

He waved his wand and the production steps immediately appeared on the blackboard.

"The things you need are still in the cabinet, but please note that because the unicorn horn is expensive, each person can only take one...

"Although I don't think anyone here would make a stupid mistake, if any of you really waste this material, you will have to buy it yourself."

Everyone lined up at the cabinet to collect the materials they needed. Kyle also got his share, a piece of fecal stone, a bag of parasitic berries, a small bottle of Mortra rat bile, and a cut round piece about the size of a gallon.

"I thought it was a whole thing, but it's only this big." Kyle muttered softly, but when he saw Snape's cold eyes, he quickly shut his mouth.

But it's not surprising if you think about it carefully. According to "Advanced Potion Making", a whole unicorn horn is needed to brew a broad-spectrum antidote in order to achieve its maximum effect, but the school obviously won't allow them such luxury.

After all, in Diagon Alley, a horn that was hollowed out and only had the outermost shell left cost twenty-one Galleons. If everyone really had one, the cost of this class would be too high, and the school board would not agree to it.

Moreover, for students who were preparing a broad-spectrum antidote for the first time, this amount of material was enough. With five minutes left in the get out of class, only three people had completed the task, while the others made more or less mistakes.

This kind of potion must not be used. Even using a whole unicorn horn would be a waste.

"How are you preparing?" After leaving the underground classroom, Kyle looked at Kanna next to him and asked, "Are you planning to take the assessment of the Extraordinary Pharmacist Association directly after the end of the school year?"

"That's what Professor Snape said." Connor stuffed two thick books into her bag, "He also told me to brew more different potions recently and get familiar with their processes without any pause.

"Oh, he also asked me to sort out the latest potion formula as soon as possible... This is the first step to join the Extraordinary Pharmacist Association."

Kyle nodded. He had heard of this as well. The Extraordinary Pharmacists Association did have this rule. They valued the wizard's talent in the use of potions rather than just written performance.

This is just like the paper on "Transfiguration Today". It doesn't need to be amazing, but you must have your own understanding.

"Can I help you?"

Kyle asked, "I have basilisk venom and snake skin here. This material has not appeared for a long time. You can make a new potion by adding anything else, and there will be no risk of duplication. It is guaranteed to help you pass the test.

"Besides that, I should be able to get the Phoenix's Tears, but that may have to wait until Professor Dumbledore returns."

"No." Connor shook her head and said, "In fact, I had already completed the new potion formula before Christmas, and Professor Snape also helped to check it, and he thought it fully met the requirements.

“So now I just need to acquire more knowledge about potions.

"I remember that during the selection last year, they gave a very unpopular test question... Murloc Potion. No one could pass the test that year. All of them failed."

"Murloc potion?" Kyle couldn't help but ask, "Did the people who applied to join the Extraordinary Pharmacist Association last year offend them in some way?"

This is a potion that allows wizards to grow a fish tail and breathe freely in water.

To be honest, this kind of potion is rarely used in the entire wizarding world, let alone in the UK. Even if it is necessary, it can be directly replaced with gillyweed. There is no need to add an extra step.

Normally, this potion is only used by wizards who want to disguise themselves as murlocs...

By the way, merfolk are creatures with human bodies and fish tails, and most of them have outstanding looks. They are completely different species from those ugly mermaids in the Black Lake.

Kyle once suspected that the person who invented this potion had some other intentions.

"That's why I need to know more knowledge to cope with their tricky questions." Kanna rubbed her eyes and said.

Recently, she has spent almost all of her spare time in the school library.

Because there are many kinds of books about potions in the school library, no matter how unpopular the book is, she can find it... This is her advantage. Those who have graduated do not have such convenient conditions.

"By the way." Kyle suddenly asked, "What is the formula of the potion you invented?"

"A potion that can relieve fatigue." Connor said, "I used dragon claw powder and mint leaves. It can make people feel refreshed."

"Mint leaves..." Kyle seemed to have thought of something, "Did you add this to the chocolate you gave me for Christmas?"

"Yeah." Kanna said with a smile, "How does it feel?"

"It works better than the Buffy Brain Stimulant." Kyle said with a smile, "At least I didn't feel groggy all day."

Bafe brain stimulant can also help people concentrate and stay awake, but after two hours they will feel very tired, just like when they finally stop after a long exercise and they have no energy to do anything.

He ate chocolate on Christmas Day, but didn't have that feeling. Of course, its effect was less than that of Buffy's brain stimulant, it just kept Kyle from feeling sleepy the whole day.

"I saw this in a very old book. It records many magical combinations of herbs."

"That's great," Kyle said. "Have you ever thought about selling it? It should be a good deal."

Ever since the Easter holidays, the exams seem to be just around the corner.

Things that can refresh the mind have been particularly popular lately, especially between fifth and seventh grades. Someone was selling Bafe's brain-stimulating agent for twelve galleons.

The problem is that Bafe Brain Refresher, which can enhance intelligence and memory, is classified as a cheating product like the Felixir, and is not allowed to be sold or used publicly during exams. Once discovered, it will be confiscated.

It's hard-earned money, and it would be a waste if it was confiscated.

However, Kanna's new potion does not have such concerns. It just makes people not feel sleepy during the day, which is exactly what those students who fall asleep as soon as they start reading need most.

Moreover, this magic potion, which has just been invented and has not yet been released, is unlikely to appear on the list of cheating products, so it will not matter even if it is discovered.

Simply perfect.

"Forget it." Kanna said with a smile, "I still have to read books, so I don't have that much time to brew potions. I only prepared some for my friends."

She pulled a potion out of her bag and handed it to Kyle, "This is for you."

This is much better than the bitter and astringent Bafe brain stimulant.

"Don't drink too much at a time. This bottle can probably last for a week." Kanna continued, "Unfortunately, dragon claw powder is not easy to find, and I failed to make it, so I only have six bottles left.

"Cedric, the Weasley brothers are both in their seventh year, so they should be able to use it. There's also Cho's... As for the last bottle, I plan to give it to Hermione. She's in her fifth year, and the OWL exam is quite important."

Kyle's expression suddenly became a little strange. "What did you say was hard to find?"

"Dragon's Claw Powder." Connor said, "This thing is not sold in Hogsmeade at all. I have used up all the stock in Professor Snape's private storage room. He is helping me find new Dragon's Claw Powder."

Kyle's expression became even more strange, and he couldn't help but ask: "Look at me carefully, have you remembered anything?"

"Ah?" Kanna looked at Kyle subconsciously. After a moment, her cheeks turned slightly red, but she still asked blankly: "Did I forget something?"

Kyle didn't say anything. He just took her to an empty classroom and took out the box.

"Come with me, I'll show you something." Kyle opened the box and walked in.

Read more of the latest popular novels at 6.9*shuba!

Kanna followed behind.

The two came to the small room at the entrance of the box.

Kanna noticed that the things here were more complete than the last time she came, and the originally spacious space was reduced to a small path that was barely wide enough for walking.

"Take a seat," Kyle said casually, then went straight to the bookshelf and found a bag.

“Come and look at this.” Kyle dumped the contents of the bag, and seven or eight claws more than an inch long fell onto the table.

Kanna was suddenly stunned, "Could this be..."

"Yes, the claws of a fire dragon," Kyle said. "Have you forgotten? I've been to the fire dragon sanctuary in Romania and brought back quite a few trophies."

“I know.” Kanna was still in shock, “but I thought you only had dragon teeth and scales.”

"When dragons fight, they do more than just bite each other," Kyle said. "It's just that their claws are stronger and not as easy to break as their teeth, so I didn't find many."

"Are these enough? If not... I should be able to get a few more." Kyle glanced in the direction of the door.

Norbert is either eating or sleeping now, or teasing the Moon Beast, so it shouldn't be a big deal to trim his nails properly.

"No, no, this is enough." Kanna said quickly: "The amount of dragon claw powder needed is very small, one stick can be used about five times."

"That's all for you." Kyle pushed all his claws to Kanna, "If you need anything else, just let me know."

"Give me all this?" Kanna was stunned for a moment, "Aren't you going to keep some for yourself?"

"It doesn't matter. I don't have any use for it anyway." Kyle waved his hand indifferently, "And even if I need it, I can find it later."

At the same time, Norbert, who was chasing the moon beast, suddenly stopped, landed on a cliff nearby and looked around suspiciously.

It just vaguely sensed a sense of malice, as if someone was planning something bad to it.

Norbert first glanced at the big black cat sleeping on the ground, then blew out a small flame from his nostrils with disdain.

That little thing is too weak and can’t beat me at all. It definitely can’t be it.

Norbert looked at a cave not far away again, and his eyes became much more serious. He felt that he had found the culprit.

After all, in this small piece of land, the only thing that could pose a threat to it was the big snake. Once, the big snake looked at it, causing its wings to go soft and it almost fell from the sky.

Thinking of this, Norbert instantly became unhappy. He flapped his wings and flew over. He raised his head, gathered his strength, and blew a large breath of fire towards the cave.

There was a roar and a dull thumping sound coming from the cave, as if something was trying to come out but was stopped.

Norbert also roared, then flapped his wings contentedly and went back to playing with the Moon Beast.

But by this time, Kyle and Connor had already left the box and didn't hear any movement inside.

Connor returned to the basement classroom again, ready to ask Snape to help grind the hard dragon claws into powder. This was a technical job that required special magical assistance. Neither Connor nor Kyle knew how to do it, so they could only ask Snape for help.

Kyle didn't go along. He was worried that if he followed, Snape might be embarrassed and would probably say something sarcastic... It was better to let Connor go by herself.

Kyle planned to take this opportunity to distribute the potion that Connor gave him to other people.

Cedric and Qiu were fine, but after Fred and George learned the effect of the potion, they suddenly became excited, with lights in their eyes.

"Listen to me, Kyle, this thing will definitely make a lot of money!" Fred held the potion bottle tightly, "Do you know how many people want to buy Buffy's Brain Refresher recently?"

"That Ravenclaw's Carmichael has sold several bottles..."

"But his potions were confiscated by Professor Flitwick in the end, haha..."

"I advise you not to use it." Kyle shook his head and said, "This is what Kanna is going to use to participate in the Extraordinary Pharmacist Association assessment. It's best not to spread it out before then. Just use it for yourselves."

Hearing what Kyle said, Fred and George gradually calmed down.

Although Garlon is very tempting, the assessment of the Extraordinary Pharmacist Association is more important.

And they also knew very well that Connor had been preparing for this for nearly a year. If something went wrong at the end, Professor Snape might stuff them into the crucible... Maybe Kyle would be there to help pass the lid.

In addition to the Weasley brothers, Kyle also gave Hermione her share.

But Hermione was very hesitant. She believed that using potions before the exam was cheating, regardless of whether the potion was on the list of cheating products.

Kyle knew Hermione's character very well and had expected her to react like this. He shrugged and said, "It's okay. If you don't want to use it, you can give it to Harry and Ron. This thing will allow them to finish reading a whole book without falling asleep.

"Oh, just remember to tell them not to spread it around."

"I think they want a potion that can turn knowledge into pumpkin juice. Once they drink it, they don't have to read books." Hermione pouted and said, "Thank you anyway. I will keep it well.

"If Kanna can successfully pass the assessment of the Extraordinary Pharmacist Association, this potion may become a driving force for me to move forward."

Hermione took a deep breath.

She now had more and more doubts about whether what was said about the four colleges in the school was true.

Kyle and Cedric were fine, she had gotten used to it after so long.

As a result, there is now another Kanna who is expected to break the record of the youngest member of the Extraordinary Pharmacist Association...

So, Hufflepuff is the house that truly represents wisdom, right? (End of this chapter)
