Chapter 445： Powerful laxative

Chapter 445 Powerful Laxative

It seems that the dragon egg and unicorn hunting incidents have not happened yet, but I don’t know if I can get related tasks from these two incidents.

On the way back to the castle with his Tom, Albert thought about the possibility of this while walking. Obtaining relevant tasks from the known plot is undoubtedly the most convenient way to gain experience.

As for whether Porter will continue to follow the plot of the story in the end, Albert is not sure, but he is more willing to believe in the so-called law of historical revision, and some things will not be easily changed.

When he brought Tom back to the common room, Albert noticed that three roommates were gathering together and whispering, and he didn't know what they were whispering.

Especially the subtle expression on George's face always made Albert feel a little strange. Fred and Lee Jordan also looked like they wanted to laugh but didn't dare.

 “What’s wrong with him?” Albert asked

 Lee Jordan tried not to laugh, "George took a very small dose of pandan powder, and he had some side effects."

"You have diarrhea?" Albert didn't look at George to prevent himself from laughing: "Why don't you go to Madam Pomfrey and ask the head nurse to get you some medicine to treat your stomachache?"

“I just feel a little sick in my stomach.” George didn’t want to go to the campus hospital, and he couldn’t tell Madam Pomfrey that he had taken basil powder!

 “You can’t keep making trouble…”

As soon as Albert raised his head, he saw George running towards the dormitory toilet, holding his stomach.

 After George disappeared at the top of the stairs, Fred and Lee Jordan finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Stop making trouble." Albert looked at the two people who were laughing so hard that they could hardly stand upright and asked, "Have you not found a way to cure stomachache?"

"No." Fred shook his head regretfully.

"The only thing we can do is go to Madam Pomfrey and say that Peeves added a small amount of powder that looked like basil beans to George's food and see how the head nurse can solve the problem." Albert suggested.

Since they can’t find a solution, they can only ask professionals for help.

 As for the blame, just put it directly on Peeves.

The two looked at each other in confusion. They didn't expect that there was such a way. Madam Pomfrey was indeed an authority in medical matters. If you wanted to solve the problem of stomach upset, finding her would be the fastest way.

As for throwing the blame on Peeves, few of them felt any psychological pressure. Anyway, this was not the first time that the naughty Peeves had done such a thing.

Even if Peeves really finds out by then, the worst he can do is give him some basil powder and make this matter a fait accompli.

About ten minutes later, George appeared at the top of the stairs, his face still not very good. Fred immediately told him Albert's suggestion, and was taken away by Fred and Lee Jordan without waiting for George to agree. school clinic.

Albert also followed over and told Madam Pomfrey what they had discussed earlier to prevent Fred and Lee Jordan from accidentally spilling the beans.

 “Suspected to be basan bean powder?”

Mrs. Pomfrey listened to Albert's description and looked at George's appearance again, and she had no doubts. After all, she never imagined that someone would add basil powder to her food.

It only took a few seconds for Madam Pomfrey to cure a stomachache. She took out a medicine bottle from the cabinet, poured a small cup for George, and the effect was immediate after drinking it. The stomachache was quickly cured.

 “What potion is this?” Albert asked.

 “Antidiarrheal potion.” Madam Pomfrey began to chase people away.

After the four people thanked Madam Pomfrey, they immediately went to the library to look up the anti-diarrhoeal formula. They flipped through several books and finally found the anti-diarrhoeal formula in a book called "Cure for Common Magical Illnesses".

However, what surprised the four people the most was that the formula of the anti-diarrhea drug actually required the use of pandan beans.

 “Did I see it wrong?” Fred raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, unable to believe what he saw.

"You read that right." Albert took "Cure for Common Magical Illnesses" to Mrs. Pince, intending to borrow it back and study it carefully.

It is not difficult to make an antidiarrheal agent. What is difficult is the processing of the basil bean. This thing needs to be roasted and oiled through an alchemical process before it can be used. The antidiarrheal agent made from unprocessed basil bean is not only ineffective in stopping diarrhea If you have diarrhea, it will become a powerful laxative and make diarrhea more serious.

“You can write to the pharmacy first, and you should be able to buy processed basil beans. However, I estimate that the price of this medicinal material will be relatively high.” Albert reminded.

 Some medicinal materials require tedious processing through alchemical procedures before use, and the price of these medicinal materials will be very expensive!

Of course, what is expensive is not the medicinal materials themselves, but the cumbersome processing technology.

“The effect of the antidiarrheal agent is indeed very strong, and the diarrhea problem was cured immediately.” George couldn’t help but sigh.

“I believe this thing can also be turned into a great joke prop.” Fred already foresees a bunch of people having diarrhea, not enough toilets, and the scene is not very beautiful.

"Don't think about that weird thing." Albert glanced at Fred and said angrily, "Unless you want to be dragged into the toilet and beaten up one day."

“Definitely not, I just thought about it, and we also sell anti-diarrheal medicine.” Fred laughed maliciously.

“If you want to sell this thing to students in school, you’d better do it after we graduate and leave school.” Lee Jordan muttered. “I don’t want to have a stomachache all day long.”

Albert ignored the twin brothers who were dancing weirdly side by side, and carefully read through the entire contents of "Cure Common Magical Ailments". He was very sure that this book was a common book that wizarding families would buy.

 “Have you really never used antidiarrheals before, or other medicines with similar effects?”

 “I have no impression.” Fred shook his head.

"What about this book?" Albert asked, pointing to "Cure for Common Magical Ailments".

"No, we do have a "Healing Manual" at home." Fred recalled it and said.

“What should you do if you have a stomachache?” Albert asked with a frown.

"Dad would get potions from St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Maladies, and you'd just drink it and you'd be fine. You know, the healers at the hospital would sell some simple potions to treat common symptoms to wizards who weren't good at brewing potions. George thought for a moment and said, "I think that thing is probably an antidiarrheal agent."

“After all, I haven’t had stomach upsets very often since I was a child, so it’s easy to forget about it.” Fred agreed, “What’s wrong?”

"It's nothing, I just think that if you really want to sell this thing, it's best to find another recipe." Albert didn't expect the Weasley twins to learn how to handle basil beans in a short time, let alone that he would have to wait until then. You have to waste a lot of time and energy on this matter.
