In the next few days, Hogwarts was in a state of chaos and chaos.
Although the professors tried their best to calm everyone's emotions during class - Professor McGonagall even showed off her Animagus abilities and turned into a cat in class.
But there was still panic in the school. Various amulets were constantly circulating among the little wizards. Some people swore that the monster in the secret room was a vampire that had been hungry for many years. So for a while, the castle was full of people. The smell of garlic.
Even though many professors have come forward to refute the rumors, saying that these amulets are actually useless, many strange amulets are still quietly circulated in private.
Seamus said that he bought a necklace of animal teeth from Africa from a senior Ravenclaw student. It was said that it was made by the local indigenous wizards. As a result, in the potions class, Aaron only glanced at it and couldn't help laughing:
"Mr. Finnigan, where did you find these chicken bones? They are polished to look like that."
This made Simo very embarrassed for the next few days, and he angrily went to the man who sold the necklace to settle the score.
Neville had an amethyst bracelet on his hand, a bunch of garlic around his neck, and many random amulets on his body - he was obviously frightened.
A little wizard reminded him:
"The descendants of Slytherin are targeting people with Muggle blood. You are pure blood, and he will not attack you."
Neville said with a look of horror: "Maybe he will misunderstand - after all, everyone knows that I am almost a squib."
At this critical moment, the prefects need to bear more and heavier responsibilities. Normally, Percy would have exercised his prefect powers with gusto.
This feeling of being deeply involved in school affairs made him very intoxicated. This was simply the best stage for him to show himself.
But this time it was completely different. Percy seemed to have lost his mind in the past two days. After class, he sat next to the fireplace in the common room all day long, staring at the fire in trance, not knowing what he was thinking.
Ginny felt sorry for him. She often stayed by Percy's side, comforting him with gentle words, hoping that Percy would get better soon.
Once, Harry also saw that after Ginny said a few words to Percy - it was still those comforting words repeated over and over again, such as 'Don't blame yourself, it's not your fault', 'Penello will Get better, Professor Sprout's mandrake is about to mature' like this.
But Percy remained unmoved. He smiled reluctantly, and the smile was extremely pale. He patted the back of Ginny's hand to reassure her.
But Ginny's eyes were so red. She covered her face and ran away, hiding in a corner and sobbing softly.
George and Fred no longer opposed Percy in the past two days. They always understood the priorities of things.
However, seeing Percy like this, George and Fred were a little helpless for a moment. They seemed to want to comfort Percy, but didn't know what to say, so they had to try to cheer Ginny up.
There they scolded the heir of Slytherin and said that such a bad guy must be kicked out of the school and must not be allowed to stay.
These words made Ginny's face suddenly turn pale.
She bit her lips and made a decision in her heart.
…
"Damn Malfoy, we must not let him go on like this, look at Percy!"
In the abandoned girls' bathroom, Ron couldn't help but said angrily.
"You can be louder, so that everyone in the school will know that we are brewing forbidden potions in the girls' bathroom."
Hermione criticized unhappily as she carefully stirred the cauldron.
Thanks to Aaron, there were many potions masters visiting Hogwarts in the past few days. Snape was forced to open his business and he had to come out to entertain them.
As a result, his office was inevitably left open, which gave the three little ones an opportunity. They easily slipped into the storage room and stole the ingredients needed to prepare the polyjuice potion.
Originally, the three primary school students seemed to be gradually returning to peace, and their motivation to brew polyjuice potion was gradually weakening. They even discussed whether they should return the raw materials to Snape...
Just then, Percy's girlfriend, Penelo, is attacked.
Percy's whole person suddenly seemed to have changed, which made Ron very dissatisfied.
"It must have been Malfoy. Their family and ours have never dealt with each other. He came for Percy! It was just poor Penelo who blocked the knife for him, so Percy was so sad..."
Ron said confidently.
So, sooner rather than later, the trio immediately restarted brewing the polyjuice potion, and then used it to uncover Malfoy's plan.
Hermione didn't say anything about Ron's dissatisfaction. Ron felt sorry for Percy, which she could understand. The Weasley children have always had a strong bond with each other, although it's not always obvious at times.
Even Hermione herself was very sad for Percy. She usually talked a lot with Percy and the two of them had a good relationship.
Harry said from the side: "Don't worry, as long as we brew the polyjuice potion, everything will be revealed, and Malfoy will definitely receive the punishment he deserves!"
"Yeah!" Hermione and Ron nodded secretly.
"Hermione, did you cook it for too long? The recipe says you only need to cook it for one hour."
"Didn't you pay attention in class?"
Hermione's words almost seemed to be sprayed from her nose, full of disdain.
"Professor Custer clearly said that the boiling time is different for different crucibles. The crucible we use is made of silver, and silver has strong thermal conductivity—"
"What?"
Ron is confused, thermal conductivity? This word sounds so strange...
Harry half-understood and said: "It seems that silver crucibles dissipate heat faster..."
Hermione was speechless. She didn't explain anything, but said firmly: "In short, you two just listen to me!"
Harry and Ron could only nod in agreement.
"Hermione, why are you wearing the amulet too?"
Harry suddenly saw the silver chain around Hermione's neck and asked curiously.
"Oh? You mean this?"
Hermione lifted the chain and saw that there was a small crystal bottle on the necklace, which contained a gray-white liquid.
"Professor Custer gave this to me as a reward for completing my extracurricular homework - he told me that this is a throwing bottle he invented himself. Throw this out when you are in danger, and it may save lives. "
"oh!"
Ron exclaimed, lowered his head and muttered, with a sour taste in his tone:
"Why did Professor Custer only give you the amulet..."
"Because the professor said that the extracurricular homework I handed in inspired him a lot and helped him, so he wants to give me a small reward!"
Hermione said happily.
Of course, the fact is that Aaron encountered a problem while researching potions. After reviewing countless documents, Hermione concluded a new method to solve the problem and successfully eliminated a wrong option for Aaron.
