The Extraordinary Apothecary at Hogwarts

Eugenie put the new contract into a peacock green document bag. This color can remind people at a glance whose contract it is about.

Snape lowered his eyes and looked at the document, "If you plan to lower the price of the potion, the business of the beauty salon will be hit, right?"

"No," Eugenie replied briskly, "I will segment different customer groups and needs, and the price will be popularized only for those medicines that are frequently used daily. Beauty medicines are not strictly needed, and the profits from this part are objective, so I will even consider launching them. Some high-end products drive up the average price. Healing potions are another sales market, and their use without medical advice will cause trouble."

Dumbledore said pleasantly, "It sounds interesting. You should be very busy next time, Severus? Although I have no new tasks to assign you to do for the time being."

Eugenie scratched her hair sheepishly.

"The Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers are exhausted so quickly, but that won't happen anymore. A few days ago, I was wondering why I didn't receive your job application this time, and now I probably understand the reason. Congratulations on your new decision, Severus."

Snape pursed his lips in response.

Dumbledore opened the drawer, took out a stack of old parchment, and gave it to Eugenie, "Maybe you will also use the Marauder's Map. Professor Flitwick wanted to take it and return it to you a few days ago. , but I just happened to go out and was not in the principal’s office.”

"Professor, have you gone out?" Eugenie was alert. Dumbledore always reminded her that he was looking for Horcruxes when he went out. Now the only things missing were the resurrection stone ring from Gaunt's old house and the Hercules from Gringotts. Chipachi Gold Cup.

However, I didn’t hear that Gringotts suffered an unknown attack recently, so...

"For a personal matter." Dumbledore smiled to dispel her suspicion, but did not continue.

Eugenie folded the parchment and put it into her bag. She glanced at Snape quickly, took out a small square towel and wiped both sides of her hands.

Dumbledore sat down at his desk, leaned forward slightly, and his expression became much more serious, "You suspect that someone in the school has colluded with Quirrell, is that true?"

"Yes." Eugenie frowned deeply, "The timing of releasing the monster must ensure that Professor Snape leaves and I stay alone in the room - I have been very careful to pay attention to the surroundings on the way to and from the school hospital. Didn't see Quirrell ever around."

Dumbledore said calmly, "You think someone tipped him off."

"Yes, there is another possibility. I suspected that the only person who entered the office during that time was Draco, but if he did anything in the room, he would definitely be investigated. He came out, and he had no motive to hurt me. I think he can be ruled out as a suspect."

"If that's the case, who is most suspect?"

"Many people in the campus hospital saw me. Madam Pomfrey was yelling at people at the time. Those visitors who went out early probably didn't know when I left, and they didn't see Professor Snape passing by." Eugenie continued to recall, "The patients lying on the bed can know the complete information - and Senior Sister Farley. She offered to send me back, but she probably just wanted to help me."

"Your prefect, Severus, what do you think?"

"I did not send Miss Farley to pick up anyone. She seemed to want to get close to Sissi intentionally. This semester she also actively approached Miss Fusco. I think it was for the same purpose-she was facing graduation and wanted to To find a better way out for myself. I would like to believe that Miss Farley means no harm."

Dumbledore nodded slightly, looked at Eugenie through the lenses with calm eyes, and said, "I believe Ms. Pomfrey keeps a list of patients. I hope you can determine who is more suspicious as soon as possible, otherwise there may be new victims in the school." .”

The characteristic of this curse is that active magic and active curse lead to disaster, and both are indispensable.Everyone knows that it is almost impossible to erase a curse, and it is easy for enemies to guess that Eugenie just used some method to make the curse inactive-her father used another method, to remove his own magic power.

The last attack fully proved this. They released monsters to try to activate the curse, but failed, but they will never give up. I don’t know what they will do to endanger campus safety this time. It shouldn’t be controlling a soul-destroying spirit. Is Guilai going to attack again?

Even if she publicly announces that her curse has been lifted, there is no need for her enemies to believe her. It doesn't matter if she tries to kill her.

If they wanted to do things differently this time, there was a chance that another person with a curse would approach her, causing an uncontrollable riot just like the accident with her grandfather and uncle.

"I have something to suspect." Eugenie said uncertainly. She suddenly asked, "Professor Dumbledore, have you heard of these two names? Laura Koenge and John Osbert, especially It's someone named Osbot."

Dumbledore shook his head regretfully, "Severus has already told me about you. Your suspicions are in the right direction. Osbert should be the entry point. With his influence at the same time as your great-grandfather, he shouldn't be there." It disappeared without a trace within just a few decades. However, I have no recollection of coming into contact with anyone named Osbot, and they may have used pseudonyms.”

Eugenie sighed quietly, "It would be great if the Marauder's Map could cover the whole world."

They dug out all the hiding places.

Dumbledore continued, "Who do you suspect most?"

Eugenie said truthfully, "Miss Margulies, although I haven't found this surname anywhere, but from the information I have, it seems that she is related to magical creatures, and her family background is also questionable."

"Yes," Snape said out loud, "Miss Margulies has also shown unreasonable jealousy. This kind of person is not the culprit, but it is easy to be exploited."

Eugenie nodded, "The temper may have something to do with her Veela blood. I asked Professor Flitwick for a summer home visit, and he learned that Margulis was adopted by a middle-aged witch who lived alone in Devonshire—— From far away in an orphanage in Italy.”

"Adopting a child from such a far away place?" Dumbledore asked, with a hint of surprise in his thoughtful eyes.

"Not only did she adopt her, she seemed to have several brothers who were also adopted from different countries. The lady was unwilling to reveal too much about her biological parents, only saying that it was a heart-wrenching tragedy. Professor Flitwick saw that she was unwilling to say more, so he decided to go to the orphanage to find out the situation - well - her native family did experience a tragedy that was different from most orphans."
