Sequence Potions at Hogwarts

Diana returned home on the third day after Christmas, satisfied with her trip to Hogwarts.The day after she left, Nix handed the form to Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall looked at Nix and said, "Even if you have the form, you can only go on Saturday."

"Professor, can't we be a little more flexible for Christmas?"

"No." Professor McGonagall was firm.

Nix left helplessly, and met the twins at the corner.

"What are you going to Hogsmeade for?" George asked.

"There's nothing in Hogsmeade for Christmas, and you went there a few days ago, didn't you see the shops were closed?" Fred added.

"Buy some butter beer to celebrate." Nix lied, he wanted to go to the Pig's Head Pub to see the so-called black market.

"We can help you."

"You'll have to pay for the errand, though."

Nix refused: "Forget it, I won't drink if I don't have one."

The twins looked at each other and analyzed:

"Knicks is a generous guy."

"Will not refuse for a little errand fee."

"It means he's not buying butterbeer."

"It's to go to Hogsmeade to handle errands in person."

"Very few stores are open now."

"It's not a store, it's a bar."

"The only thing you can drink in a bar is butterbeer."

"Perhaps for Lady Rosmerta."

The two laughed wretchedly.

"No, Fred, he's got a girlfriend."

"George, you're right, he didn't go to see the landlady."

"Does he want to go to the Hog's Head?"

"Joint with his men?"

"Maybe, he is the future Dark Lord."

……

Knicks couldn't leave the teasing of the two, shook his head and left.Since he couldn't make it to Hogsmeade, he went to see his little mouse in the Room of Requirement.

To accompany his mother for Christmas, his experiment is at a standstill, and he doesn't know if the little mouse was burned to death by the black fire.

Before he went, he found some other mice. He didn't know whether the mouse was male or female, and he couldn't tell the difference between male and female, so he had to catch more.

There are not many mice in the castle.Before the death of the basilisk, mice were the food of the basilisk. After the death of the basilisk, the mice lost their biggest enemy and multiplied rapidly.

But some time ago, Nix found that the rats were flooding, and caught some for experiments. Now the rats in the castle have not recovered.

From the first floor up to the Room of Requirement, Nix sensed the small animals around him along the way, and caught mice when he found them, but only caught a dozen in the end.

Entering the Room of Requirement, the fire around the mouse is still there, and there is food inside, but the mouse is gone.

Nix's heart tightened, if he ran away, where would he find it.

After careful observation, Nix felt that the mouse did not escape, and the food in the flames was much less, so it should have been eaten.

The corpses of the surrounding mice all melted into a pool. Looking along the blood, Nix found a small blood cocoon in the corner, and the mouse stood by the blood cocoon, watching Nix vigilantly.

The blood cocoon kept growing and shrinking like breathing. Nix didn't know what was bred in it, and he wondered how a mouse did it.

Thinking that what it swallowed was mixed ingredients, I was relieved again. Something might happen to the mixed potion.It is also normal to have an unknown ability.

The rats were released, and they fled in all directions. Some ran to the corner, trying to dig a hole to escape, and some ran to the flame. They smelled the food, and in order to eat, they rushed into the flame and were burned to ashes.

The running mice also rushed towards the blood cocoon, and the mice around the blood cocoon assumed an attacking posture, and every mouse that ran past would be bitten mercilessly.

The mouse that was bitten to death will quickly turn into a pool of blood and flow into the blood cocoon.

Nix felt that the blood cocoon seemed to have grown up a bit, but it was still far from maturity.

The door to the Room of Requirement was opened again. "Is this your new experiment?" Dumbledore seemed to have chosen the time when Nix was here on purpose. "What is it? It looks dangerous."

Nix said: "I don't know, the things inside seem to be alive."

"Yes, it has its own consciousness. I can feel it expressing emotions, but it is very weak and will disappear at any time. Do you want to raise it?" Dumbledore observed the blood cocoon through the audience potion.

Nix pointed to the mouse guarding the blood cocoon, and explained: "My target is it. It has what I need in its body. There is no way to deal with it in the normal way. It can only be separated and purified through reproduction. .”

Dumbledore: "Is this dangerous-looking thing useless?"

"I don't know, I just found out when I came in today." Nix said.

Dumbledore wanted to say something more, but was cut off.The door behind him was opened again.

"Harry, I'm right, there's something weird here, and Hermione will definitely tell the professor when she sees it.

It was Harry and Ron who came in. Seeing Dumbledore and Nix, the two looked slightly embarrassed.

Ron had sneaked in before, and it took him a lot of trying to find the right way to open the Room of Requirement.After opening the door, he didn't see the mouse buried in the food. When he found the blood cocoon, he thought it was the mouse. Out of curiosity, he poked it, but the blood cocoon was very weak, and he poked a hole.

Seeing Ron destroying its masterpiece, the mouse escaped from prison and attacked Ron angrily.

Ron barely left under the attack of an ice gun fireball.He felt that the blood cocoon was very dangerous, so he thought about it, and instead of going to the professor, he went to Harry, hoping to destroy the blood cocoon and prevent Nix from continuing the experiment.If it was Hermione, it would be Professor McGonagall who came in.

Dumbledore wanted to study the blood cocoon.With a wave of his wand, he lifted the mouse beside the blood cocoon.The mouse smelled Ron's breath, thinking that he was going to destroy the blood cocoon again, and cried out eagerly and frantically, with an extremely piercing voice.Dumbledore suppressed the mouse by relying on the magic power, no matter the sound or the struggle disappeared, life and death were in old Deng's mind.

Without Nix's experiments, the rats would have been crushed to death.

Dumbledore puts the rat in a flaming cell built by Nix.The moment the suppression was released, the mouse built an ice bridge, quickly crossed the fire wall, ran to the blood cocoon, and called out to everyone.

"Ordinary mice don't have this ability." Dumbledore asked, "Nix, have you already given animals the ability to cast spells?"

"The potion has always been effective on animals, but it is very unstable. Many mice died before it succeeded." Nix explained: "This mouse is very smart. Before I gave the medicine, it knew how to play dead."

"So, it's not just because of your potion?" Dumbledore continued without waiting for Nix to answer, "That is to say, different potions have different powers in the hands of different people!"

Nix thought for a while and replied: "Yes, I once gave Lockhart the potion, he can only use it to change the surrounding environment. Changing the Auror is probably a killing technique."
