The Extraordinary Apothecary at Hogwarts

"Hey! Let's try it again!" Fred said excitedly in George's ear.

George quickly stroked the lizard-shaped tail dragging on the ground, "Shh, she didn't see us and sneaked around."

Helen was reciting numbers silently to number the yellow flowers blooming next to the fountain. Then she closed her eyes and thought, which number can answer the question in her heart?

She had little confidence in her self-taught divination.

The last time she observed the smoke of burning mugwort, she predicted that she would be burned by the flames in the weekend broomstick obstacle course according to the image in the book. But in fact, she bravely and confidently performed her best and successfully passed through the ring of fire without even losing her hair. It was burning, but due to lack of skill, it immediately stalled and rushed into the black lake.

The divination result was fire, but the actual result was water.

Could it be that it’s not that there is no talent, but that the talent has been installed backwards?

It is entirely possible, then the divination results should be viewed in reverse, up is down, left is right.

Helen nodded to herself, picked the one she had in mind, and began to murmur to herself and pluck the petals.

Safety--

Danger--

Safety--

The petals fall to the ground one after another,

It must not be dangerous, she thought subconsciously.

Hey, no, no, no, no, the results have to be looked at the other way around. Then we should expect the divination result to be dangerous, and then we can actually be safe.

Two sneaky paper lizards supported her and concentrated on divination, then moved quietly behind her.

"Hey!!!"

They tapped her shoulders simultaneously.

Helen jumped in fright, "Ah! Merlin's breasts are so big!!"

The half-bald flower fell to the ground and received a few kicks.

A giant gray lizard taller than she had escaped from Care of Magical Creatures class?Oh, fake.

The prop lizard's long tongue stretched out in a snap, and she quickly swung her bow left and right to catch it.

She looked the two fake lizards up and down and touched the pimpled skin where the paper was crumpled and then hardened. "They're so cute!" Chou Meng Chou Meng said, "Did you make them yourself?"

She curiously grabbed the lizard's tongue and pulled it down, looking through the lizard's eye hole to see who was hiding inside. Unfortunately, she only saw one eye and could not identify who it was.

"She likes our look!" Fred turned to George happily and said, forgetting that Helen was still holding the fake tongue, and it fell off when he squeezed his neck.

"Have discernment!" George patted Helen's arm gently and begged her to let go of his lizard tongue.

Fred waggled his tail as if to show off, "Percy doesn't know how to appreciate it. He's always so boring and disappointing."

"Ginny wouldn't be like him," George agreed.

Helen stuffed the fallen tongue into Fred's lizard mouth, "So you two are Weasleys?"

"Exactly," Fred took off his hood, "How is your experience with our product, Miss?"

"Well -" Helen frowned and thought for a moment, "the confidence-boosting one - it fell into the lake with me not long ago. The broom and I were picked up by Mr. Lupin, but it sank."

George said, "You're so brave, Miss. We don't usually recommend using it with broomsticks. We hope that every valued customer will be intact before and after use."

Fred said, "But great, you didn't miss out on an exciting flight."

George stretched out his hand from the mouth of the lizard suit and gave her a small black and white sugar cube, "Here is the latest mosquito candy, try it for free."

"highly recommended."

"If you have someone you hate."

"This is the best way to torture him."

Helen glanced regretfully at the flower that she had trampled to pieces. Today seemed not to be a good time for divination, "Will you hear mosquitoes chirping after eating this candy?"

"Imitation of the real situation appears from time to time and remains for a long time."

"In three days, more than 100 buzz sounds will be on display. There will always be one you like."

"It's so realistic, we spent the whole summer catching mosquitoes and recording the sounds." Fred said and gave George a high-five through the lizard suit.

"We will sell it in limited quantities and not many people know about it." George winked at her, "You will need it sooner or later."

"Well, thank you - I do think of someone." Helen seemed to see a head of annoying silver hair laughing contemptuously, twisting past her face with a flash of light.

At this time, a voice suddenly shouted: "Quidditch training!" It was Wood who rushed over energetically, holding two red team robes under his arms.

"We agreed there would be no training today!" Fred protested loudly.

Wood threw the team robes to them, "It's a temporary training. I went to Professor McGonagall to get the right to use the Quidditch training ground. We have to use the same method to deal with them. The Slytherin team seems to have failed in recent times." We didn’t get the special approval, so this is our chance.”

George reluctantly took off the lizard hood, "You must want to marry Quidditch, Oliver."

"The bride is the Quaffle."

"No nonsense," Wood said irritably. "You have to win this game against Slytherin or die on the field! Think of those broomsticks that are so fast that they are only afterimages. We need absolute strength to prove that with just one A rich dad can't change the outcome of the game. Hurry up and gather together! Everyone else should be here, but you are the hardest to find. Percy should tell me where you are."

Fred shook his head, "Oh, it's Percy again!"

"Our good brother." George took off his cross-dressing, "I really want to know if he can graduate early."

"That won't work. He will die if he can't continue to be a prefect." Fred said.

Wood directly put the team uniform on their heads, "Hurry up!! See you on the court!"

"Remember to use it well." George tugged on his clothes and picked up the lizard's tail and winked at Helen.

"I will," Helen was already thinking about how to get Margulies to eat the candy. Since it is a sugar cube, just wait until she accidentally dissolves the sugar into the drink and stir it quickly, "If you try It’s very effective. If you want to buy it, how much do you plan to give me for one pill?”

"Eight Sickles," Fred said affirmatively.

"2 Sickles." George said at the same time.

"He's crazy. This is a limited edition product. We're going to lose money." Fred pointed at George.

George held the lizard up by its tail and put a hand to his mouth to whisper, "Friendship price, but don't tell anyone else."

"Otherwise, the customers who bought 8 West will come and kill us if they find out."

2 Xi Ke Ya - Helen checked her pockets and made a rough calculation. It is not expensive. If it is effective, she will buy half a year's supply to avoid using it in winter.

Fortunately, after the summer vacation, she helped sell ice cream in her grandfather's shop and earned some pocket money. Well, although the amount she sold may not be as much as she ate.
