Sequence Potions at Hogwarts

Chapter 306 Impatient

Saying goodbye to Hermione, the three came to the library together.

There are quite a few people in the library, but there are not many people who read books. They all read people, such as Viktor Krum. There are not only girls, but also many boys.

Viktor Krum came very early, and the closer it was to noon, the more restless he became.I was very worried, whether the stolen snails would affect the plan.

Before coming, Principal Karkaroff found him, told him that the snails had been stolen, and explained the function of the snails.Karkaroff has investigated, and the person who stole the snails is definitely not a student of Durmstrang. The question is whether Nix will use this as an excuse not to see him, or simply think he did it.

Karkaroff was very worried that the Knicks might not sell them the potion, and the Triwizard Tournament was still going on, so there was no reason to help them increase their strength.

When Nix brought Tifa and Luna into the library, Krum heaved a sigh of relief. Nix had something to talk with when he came. If Nix didn't give him a chance to meet, then there was really no hope at all.

Krum asked nervously, "Have you eaten?"

Tifa and Luna burst out laughing.Krum's image of a tough guy and macho collapsed in their hearts.

Nix ignored that sentence and said with a serious expression, "Hagrid lost something, do you know that?"

"That's not what we did." Krum also became serious. "I didn't know until this morning that the Blast-tailed snail is anti-magic."

Of course the Knicks knew that they didn't do it. It was just a tactic to put Krum at a disadvantage in negotiating and make it easier for him to speak up.

"How can I trust you? The biggest suspect is you."

"I don't even know what that thing looks like!"

Nix sneered.

Krum was silent for a while.It gradually felt wrong, and the rhythm of the conversation was always controlled by Knicks.He tried to break the Knicks' rhythm. "I want potions, why are you willing to trade with me?"

Nix sighed. Sure enough, this guy is not just a reckless man. From his decisive capture of the Golden Snitch in the Quidditch World Cup, it can be seen that he is not a brainless person.

While Nix was still thinking about how to answer, Tifa spoke first: "Let's sign our broom."

Tifa interrupted Krum again.

Krum's expression became awkward. He was waiting for Nix's answer, but Tifa interjected.

Stiffly signing Tifa and Luna's brooms.

Tifa and Luna got the autographs they wanted, but instead of leaving, they stayed with Nix, discussing the style of the new broom in whispers.

Nix said: "It's not impossible to sell you potions."

Krum wanted to ask if the potion could really allow him to control the flames, so as to lower the price.But looking at the Knicks' attitude, it seems that they don't want to trade, so they have to say: "What do I need to pay to get it?"

"That depends on what you have?"

Krum was very excited. Nix asked this question, which meant that he would sell potions. The problem now was to negotiate the price if Nix didn't feel disgusted.

He asked calmly, "I don't have many Galleons."

This is the truth, he does not have many Galleons, but Karkaroff said that the school will bear the cost without him paying for it.

The goal of the Knicks is not King Gallon, he is not interested in money now.

"I heard that in Durmstrang, the study of black magic is allowed?"

Krum was stunned for a moment, and then said: "This may be different from what you think. We are studying how to make black magic less dangerous."

Nix understood immediately that Durmstrang was not studying powerful black magic, but how to use black magic safely.Just like the Fiercefire Curse is also black magic, but it is allowed to be used, they want to make those forbidden black magic harmless and become magic that can be used.

"Give me all the research materials, and I'll give you the potion."

Krum immediately said: "It's impossible. I will give you my research topics at most, but I can't give you all of them. Your potions are not worth that much."

Nix nodded with a smile: "Deal."

Of course he knew that it was impossible to obtain all the research materials, set a high price, and waited for the other party to counter the price.Originally, I just wanted to change to a more powerful black magic. When Voldemort was resurrected, even if he couldn't kill Voldemort, he could still drink a pot. At worst, there was Pettigrew Peter as a guarantee.

Unexpectedly, Krum would trade his research and be selected as a warrior by the Goblet of Fire. Krum's strength is unquestionable, and his research on black magic is not bad.Not only black magic, but also harmless research materials, earned.

Krum looked at Knicks in astonishment, knowing that he had been fooled, and Knicks' reserve price should be very low.Think back to the conversation just now, and understand why this happened.Nix decided to sell the potion, and they thought Nix might not want to.This made him lose.

After thinking about this, Krum also began to doubt in his heart. The effect of getting the potion so easily may not be as powerful as expected, otherwise Nix would not sell it.

It's also possible that the potion is faulty, poisoned, comatose, or has a major flaw.Thinking about it, I think it is impossible. If there is a problem with the potion, Principal Karkaroff will go to the Ministry of Magic and sue Nix for maliciously excluding competitors. There is a high probability that he will be expelled from school, and may be sent to Azkaban if it is serious.

Krum leaned towards potions being less powerful.The one named Seamus Finnigan and the dragon breathed fire, and his performance was very impressive. Maybe after a long time of practice and improvement, the potion he took might just be the intensity of lighting a fire.No matter what, you still need to get the potion first, and talk about the rest later.

"How to trade?"

Nix didn't answer the question, he slowly took out the potion he had just prepared in Snape's office.

"Beforehand, different potions have different effects. Some potions need to be advanced, and drinking them once will not have much effect."

Krum froze, it was different from what they thought.At the same time, I also understood why Nix wanted to sell them the potion.The potion has been used many times, but the effect is not great each time, and it will not immediately improve his strength. When he has the ability to breathe fire against the dragon, the Triwizard Tournament will be over long ago.

"In this case, I need to go back and discuss it with the principal."

"No problem, I will stay in the library. If you don't come before dinner, I will take it as if you don't want to trade. By the way, potions cannot be used continuously."

Hearing that it could not be used continuously, Krum was even more sure that the potion was not as useful as he thought.

"What else?"

"It should be gone." Nix said uncertainly.

"Isn't this potion breathing fire?" Krum asked looking at the potion in front of him.

"No, strictly speaking, it's not breathing fire, it's controlling flames."

"What effect does it have?"

Nix shook his head: "Unless you buy it, I won't say anything."

Krum said nothing, turned and left.

He went back to the ship, found Karkaroff and told about the process of meeting Nix.
