Chapter 181 If there is no madness, it must be from the heart
Nix didn't go on a night tour, but it was too risky for Filch. He suspected that he was on Dumbledore's focus list, so be honest.
Halloween day.
Filch stood at the door watching everyone who went out, preventing first and second graders and seniors who didn't have a signature form from going out.
Nix watched the team going out from the window on the second floor. Luna beside him held his hand. Nix turned his head to look over, and Luna gave him a smile.
Harry downstairs was saying goodbye to Ron and Hermione.Ron whispered, "Harry, the only ones who can't go to Hogsmeade are you and Nix. You have to be careful, there are no good people in the Lestrange family."
Hermione gave Ron an elbow: "Don't listen to his nonsense. We'll bring you a present."
Harry nodded, watching the two leave the school.Ron wanted to grab Hermione's hand, but was evaded.
Nix sighed and pulled Luna upstairs.It wasn't that he was afraid of not trying to blend in with the crowd to Hogsmeade, it was just that he didn't want to make a high profile.
Harry went upstairs faster than Nix had imagined, and they met on the third floor. "Nix, I'm looking for you."
"What's the matter?" Nix wondered, shouldn't Harry be in a bad mood and wander around to relax?
Harry looked at Luna, but said nothing.Both Nix and Luna understood what he meant.Luna let go of Nix's hand and wanted to leave, but Nix held her back and said, "Harry, if it's about me, Luna can know."
"Okay, Nix, I'd like a potion, preferably the one you gave to the Malfoys," Harry said.
Nix shook his head: "Harry, you know that potions can affect people, right? Malfoy's formula makes people yearn for light, I think..."
Harry cut him off: "Light doesn't do me any harm, does it?"
Nix didn't answer. He refused Harry's request to drink the potion. Harry asked for the potion again, but it was the same potion as Voldemort's. This made him wonder whether Harry's brain had been invaded by Voldemort. .
Voldemort has many subordinates, and there is no shortage of powerful wizards. According to time, powerful people can digest three potions.Could it be that people who successfully consumed the potion did not become younger, which made Voldemort suspicious, and wanted to use Harry to test whether the potion made by Nix himself had the effect of rejuvenating people?
Without waiting for Nix to refuse, Lupine, who was hiding at the corner, came out and interrupted them: "Harry, Nix, what are you doing? Aren't you going to Hogsmeade?"
Nix: "If you had helped me speak well in front of Diana, I would be in Hogsmeade now."
Lupine ignored Nix's complaints and invited, "Why don't you come to my office and have a chat. I just received a Grindylow."
Nix: "I won't bother you anymore."
Luna squeezed Nix's hand hard, her eyes full of longing.
Lupine noticed Luna's expression and said with a smile, "Come on, those are the teaching materials for your next class."
Nix said from the bottom of his heart, "Okay." He just wanted to see the communication between Harry and Lupine, definitely not to please Luna.
Several people came to Lupine's office together.
Luna's eyes were immediately attracted to Grindylow in the water tank. It was a water monster with horns, light green body, and very long fingers.His expression was a bit sluggish, seeing that Luna became much more energetic, he came out of the water plants and made a grimace, trying to scare her.
"Water monster, it's not difficult to deal with. The trick is not to be caught by it. Notice the abnormally long claws? Very powerful, but very fragile." Lupine introduced.
"Drink tea?"
"Ok."
Nix looked at the water monster and didn't turn on the system. His sensitivity to potion materials was very weak. He felt that the purpose of the system's continuous creation of sequence powerhouses was not pure, so he didn't want to collect potion materials.
Harry said, "Professor, why didn't you let me deal with Boggart that day."
"I think you should know?" Lupine said with an expression that was not obvious: "I thought it was Voldemort you were most afraid of. Letting Voldemort show up would frighten them."
"I did think of Voldemort first," said Harry, "and then I thought of Dementors."
Lupine smiled and said, "It's surprising, Harry, that it's fear itself that you're afraid of."
Nix murmured, "The fear is the fear itself."
"Harry, you think I don't believe you can handle a Boggart?" Lupine sensed Harry's thoughts.
"Yeah." Harry also understood that Lupine was afraid of Voldemort's appearance, not because he thought he was not capable enough to deal with Boggart: "Professor, you think those dementors are afraid..."
His words were interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Come in," Lupine said loudly.
Snape opened the door, holding a smoking glass in his hand.He paused when he saw Harry, stopped when he saw Nix, narrowed his eyes and said, "Lupine, you know that won't help you."
"Thanks, Severus, I know, I'll talk to Harry and show them my Grindylow." Lupine pointed to the water tank, indicating that he didn't want to see Nix.
"That's interesting." Snape said flatly, "You should drink him right away, Lupine."
"Okay, okay. I see, we have double insurance, no problem." Lupine was very happy when he thought that the transformation of the werewolf was controllable.
"I boiled a big pot, maybe you need more," Snape said.
"I need another drink tomorrow, just in case. I'm going out for a while. It would be great if the principal could follow me, but it's okay to have you here. Thank you very much."
"You're welcome." Snape exited the room.
Nix understood that Lupine was going to unleash his werewolf form tomorrow.He was very curious, but to be on the safe side, it was better not to participate. The werewolf was so destructive and Lupine couldn't control it, so it was a bit dangerous to follow.
Lupine picked up the wine glass and sniffed it, and explained: "I'm not good at making potions, and this potion is very complicated, so I asked Snape to make it." He took a sip and shivered. "It's really bad. It's a pity that adding sugar doesn't work."
"Why—" Harry asked.
Lupine thought for a moment, looked at Harry and replied, "I've been feeling a little uncomfortable. Only this potion works. I'm lucky to work with Snape. There are not many people who can make this potion." Take a sip.
Nix reminded: "Professor, if you need, I can also help."
"I don't want to bother you anymore, I'm afraid you will add food secretly." Lupine said lightly and winked at him.
Nix understood that Lupine was joking, but he was still very upset: "Professor, I think I can completely cure it, just need to drink the potion again according to the original plan..."
Lupine interrupted him: "It's a pity that there are no potion ingredients, isn't it?"
Nix was silent for a while, and couldn't help but said: "The dementor has..."
Lupine interrupted him again, with a serious tone: "I know, but you failed, and..., in short, don't go again."
He drank the potion in one gulp, his expression twisted, and he said to everyone after adapting, "Okay, children, I need to work, see you at the banquet later."
