Chapter 727： Flux (wrong time again)

After taking a nap, Harry told Ron and Hermione what happened this morning and what Fish had come up with.

"It's right not to go to Professor Slughorn right away." Hermione nodded in agreement as she stroked the purring tabby cat in her arms.

"Even, I think you'd better wait a few days and let Professor Slughorn calm down." She looked down at the cat in her arms, and after a moment of hesitation, she continued euphemistically: "If you can go to him It's best to apologize, after all, when I'm not sure about the specific memory, it's not good that the other party helped Voldemort."

"Meow!"

Fish turned his head decisively.

He didn't think he had said or done anything wrong, so it was impossible to apologize to Professor Slughorn!

Harry scratched his head with a wry smile, and said, "I'll apologize in two days."

The cat licked his hair and rubbed his face, pretending not to hear.

If it was before, even if Harry apologized on his behalf, Fish would not agree. After all, in Mao Mao's view, even if he made trouble, he would not necessarily apologize, let alone if he didn't make trouble.

But now, he also knew that this was to get the truth out of Slughorn earlier, so he didn't bother to stop it.

However, Harry's apology plan failed in the end.

He had thought that Professor Slughorn would distance himself from Fish after the questioning on Sunday morning, but Harry still underestimated the collecting desire of a "Squirrel Party".

In Potions class on Monday, Professor Slughorn raved about Harry as always, and after Potions class ended, he took the initiative to find Harry.

"Relax, Harry," he smiled kindly, seeing Harry's unease, "I'm not here to blame you and Fish, you must have been instructed by Dumbledore, right?"

Harry nodded subconsciously.

Professor Slughorn raised his eyebrows, his walrus-like beard twitched comically, and continued: "I can understand his urgency, the existence of the mysterious man, for most wizards and Muggles. , is not a good thing, if possible, I also want to contribute."

"Then, Professor, are you going to give me that real memory?" Harry asked eagerly, his eyes lit up.

"Uh" The expression on Professor Slughorn's face stiffened for a moment, and then he immediately said with a dry smile: "I have made it very clear to you and Dumbledore, that memory is real, here I am. There really isn't any clue to the Horcrux."

"But, those white mists"

Harry reluctantly tried to argue, but was interrupted by Professor Slughorn.

"Oh, Harry, that's just because I can't remember," he said in a tone that sounded sincere but actually made Harry feel hypocritical, as if he was ready to say it. I'm not too young, it's normal to not remember some things, you have to forgive an old man's memory."

"Can"

"Besides!" Professor Slughorn interrupted Harry again, "I have to say sorry to you and Fish," he actually apologized to both of them in turn: "I didn't mean to go to **** yesterday morning. When you lose your temper, you only get angry when you get up, and if you don't get enough sleep, older people will be in a worse mood."

His remarks were both pitiful and apologetic, making Harry embarrassed to continue asking questions.

Just as Harry was silent, Professor Slughorn was ready to start fattening.

"Okay, that's the way it is. I have nothing more to tell you about that memory. I have a banquet in two days. Remember to come."

After speaking, Professor Slughorn didn't wait for Harry to react, and quickly disappeared in front of him with a pair of short legs.

In the next period of time, Professor Slughorn did not change much, except that whenever Harry talked about Horcruxes and that memory, he would find all kinds of excuses to open up, let Harry predict the words. It's too late to say it.

And Fish, after following Harry to find him a few times, gave up quite simply.

But cats also have their own reasons.

"Aren't you worried that Feishu said the wrong thing? Albus didn't let Feishu do it, and Horace's usual attitude was so good, Feixu couldn't find an excuse to do it, meow"

The cat patted Harry on the shoulder plausibly and said, "So, it's all up to you, Harry!"

"By the way, didn't you say that you should try it with the Fuling Elixir?" Ron asked.

"But as soon as I talk about that, Professor Slughorn makes excuses to leave, even with Flux," Harry replied scowling.

During this period of time, he also specially asked Hermione to help him understand the specific extent of the Fuling agent, and then he learned that the so-called "good luck" is actually mainly about your abilities in various aspects, such as social skills. , magic ability, reaction ability, etc., have a considerable improvement, so it will make people feel that everything is going well.

Of course, Fu Lingjing does have the ability to increase luck, or reduce bad luck, because its main material contains a thing called Motra's tumor, which is a sea creature that grows on the back of the Motra mouse. The sunflower-shaped tumor, even if it is eaten by itself, can enhance the eater's resistance to curses and bad luck.

Therefore, although Fuling can indeed increase a person's luck, it can't make people's dreams come true. Its effect is to greatly reduce your probability of failure and guide you to make the most correct choice.

But if there is one thing that cannot be successful by itself, or even cannot be carried out, then it will be of no avail even if you drink too much elixir. For example, if Harry drank the Flux, Voldemort could not be killed immediately, and if Professor Slughorn refused to talk, he would not be able to ask anything from the other party.

That's why Harry hasn't used Flux all the time. He doesn't want to waste such a precious potion.

"However, the Flux may also create an opportunity for Professor Slughorn to talk to you." Hermione felt that it was necessary to give it a try. "Anyway, if you're just talking, you don't have to drink it all. It can be completely saved.”

Harry was taken aback, he hadn't considered this possibility before.

At this time, Fei Xu also spoke: "It's okay, meow!"

Mao Mao patted his chest and said, "Just use it, and in about three months, Fish will give you another bottle!" Mao Mao counted with his fingers and assured Harry.

His confidence naturally came from Snape.

Although the Fuling agent he asked Snape to prepare is still under production, Fishu also went to see it a few times, and there is a full crucible! And according to Snape, there were still a lot of materials that were not put in, and the final product was at least as many as two standard potion bottles.

Harry knew that Snape was helping Fish to prepare the Flux, but he didn't want or dare to ask for the Flux prepared by Snape. God knew if the Flux would have a special effect on him.

This is not Harry's random thoughts, but in the advanced potion making book of "Half-Blood Prince", he has seen similar notes, a kind of potion that only works for specific characters.

Although from the notes, it was just some idea of ​​Snape, and he didn't really give a plan, but it was only his notes when he was a student, and God knows if he has perfected it now.

In addition, Harry also guessed that Snape would have such an idea, most of which he wanted to use against his father and godfather.

"Well then it's not necessary." Harry decisively rejected Fish's offer, "Hermione is right, I just need to take a sip before going to Professor Slughorn, it will last for an hour, or even just need Just half an hour."

Harry, who wanted to understand, no longer hesitated. He planned to wait until after the curfew at night, put on the invisibility cloak and go to Professor Slughorn's office to find him.

It was soon night, and Harry took out the Flux and Invisibility Cloak he had hidden, and then, as usual, scratched his ears and cheeks with Ron in the common room for the heavy work.

After everyone else returned to their dorms one after another, he took out the sparkling little bottle from his pocket and took a sip.

"How is it meow?"

Fisch stared at Harry with burning eyes, and asked curiously, "Delicious meow?"
