"How does it feel?"
Seeing Albert carefully take a sip of the Felicis, Fred, George and Lee Jordan all swallowed their saliva. They actually wanted to taste the legendary Felicis themselves and feel the wonderful taste of everything going well.
Unfortunately, there is only a little bit of the elixir.
"Very good, very good, everyone follow me!" Albert walked briskly towards the gloomy and damp forest path ahead.
"Where are we going?" George hurriedly followed Albert.
"Of course, we should try our luck in the forest," Lee Jordan said as a matter of course.
"You're only half right. We're going to Mr. Kettlebur's cabin in the woods to try our luck." Albert explained casually while humming a little tune.
"Why are we going to see Professor Kettlebur?" Fred asked with a frown. To be honest, they were not familiar with the professor of magical creatures, and it was not a good idea to go to him now, especially since they had secretly entered the Forbidden Forest. It was considered that he had a good temper if they were not deducted points or put in detention.
"Don't worry, the situation is not as bad as you think." Albert smiled and comforted, "We are not going to see Professor Kettlebur, but to try our luck around the cabin in the woods."
"Do you think there might be some jumping mushrooms near Professor Kettleber's cabin?" George's eyes sparkled. He never expected that Albert could give the exact location so quickly.
It really is a blessing spirit, the effect is amazing.
"Winter is coming."
"What does this have to do with winter?"
"Don't interrupt, just listen to what Albert has to say." Fred glared at Lee Jordan in dissatisfaction, telling him to shut up.
"At this time of year, Hagrid and Professor Kettlebur feed young thestrals that can't find food to help them survive the cold winter. We need to find a place to feed them. If we're lucky, we should be able to find jumping toadstools next to the animal's bones."
Albert didn't mention one more thing. Kettlebur keeps a group of magical creatures. If he throws the bones left over by the magical creatures together, they will have a chance to find jumping mushrooms. "
On the way to the cabin in the woods, the four did not forget to observe the surrounding forest and did find some strange mushrooms, but these mushrooms were not the jumping toadstools they were looking for.
Albert followed the route in his memory and easily found the cabin in the woods with the help of the Felicity Potion. The four of them began to wander around and actually found the place where Professor Kettleburt threw the bones, which was covered with dense mushrooms.
"Found it." Albert frowned slightly, feeling something was not right.
Fred, George and Lee Jordan took out the equipment they had prepared in advance and put it on themselves, ready to catch the jumping toadstools. As for why they wanted to catch them
Because once something approaches, the jumping mushrooms will scatter.
"By the way, don't you think there are too many jumping agarics?" Albert wondered if someone here was deliberately breeding jumping agarics.
"It's indeed a large number." The three looked at each other, not understanding what Albert meant.
However, if there are a lot of them, you don’t have to worry about not being able to catch the jumping toadstools.
However, if they broke in like this, the spores and dust would fly everywhere, which would really cause a lot of trouble for them. George planned to throw a stone in to scare away the jumping mushrooms, and then catch them one by one. After all, they did a lot of homework to catch jumping mushrooms. If they broke into the jumping mushrooms like this, they would probably have to lie down and go back to Hogwarts.
Three, two, one.
Lee Jordan threw a stone into the jumping mushrooms. The next moment, the group of jumping mushrooms suddenly exploded and jumped in all directions. In the process of jumping, a large amount of spore powder was spilled. Fortunately, the four people had already avoided it far away before it started.
This is how I avoided the misfortune of getting caught.
"Get started." Albert shouted, and Fred, George and Lee Jordan chased after the jumping mushrooms they had chosen. These guys were more agile than the jumping mushrooms in the greenhouse. After a chase, the three of them finally caught the jumping mushrooms they were targeting with great effort.
"What a pity for the remaining ones." George couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the disappearing jumping mushrooms.
"There's nothing to regret. Three are enough. Let's go back." Albert took out a cloth bag from the pocket of his robe and stuffed the jumping mushrooms he caught into it.
"What brings you here?"
"Uh," Albert turned his head to look at the sudden voice and found that he met an acquaintance.
"Mr. Dagworth, why are you here?" Albert asked with a slight frown.
"I'm here to buy snakebird eggshells from Mr. Kettlebur."
"Felixir?" Albert immediately realized what kind of potion Dagworth wanted to make.
"Well, the Fuling potion I brewed a few years ago has run out, so I'm going to make another batch." Dagworth looked at Albert and the others and asked in confusion, "What are you doing with the jumping toadstools?"
"You know there are jumping mushrooms here?" George couldn't help asking.
"It was I who suggested to Mr. Kettlebur that these bones be thrown here to cultivate jumping toadstools."
"You mean, all the jumping toadstools here are yours?"
"Every year I come here to harvest a wave of mature jumping toadstools as raw materials." Dagworth nodded. As a potion master, he had his own stable source of potions. Just like he knew that Kettlebur raised and bred snake birds, if he needed snake bird eggshells, he would pay a high price or obtain them through other means. After all, snake bird eggshells were also a material that was difficult to obtain.
Albert and the others looked at each other, feeling a little embarrassed. Were they caught red-handed by their master
Dagworth didn't pay attention to these things and continued to ask, "Why are you catching jumping toadstools?"
"Making the Bafei brain stimulant. I heard that thing can help people improve their brain power." Albert answered honestly.
"Buffy Brain Awakening Potion?" Dagworth frowned, his tone suddenly becoming stern. "You should be aware of the difficulty of making Buffy Brain Awakening Potion. If you can't make it successfully, it will become very dangerous. As far as I know, someone drank that stuff last time and almost became an idiot. Moreover, the Ministry of Magic prohibits the private making of Buffy Brain Awakening Potion."
There is no way. The Bafe brain stimulants circulating in the black market are basically defective products that cannot be used. Drinking them may turn you into an idiot.
Fred and his friends naturally knew these things, but hearing them from a potion master made them feel timid and want to retreat.
"If, if you really want to make the Bafe Brain Tonic, I can help you." Dagworth said to Albert, "But I hope you will promise that you will not make the Bafe Brain Tonic carelessly, and you will not drink the Bafe Brain Tonic that has not passed the inspection."
Dagworth didn't want Albert to drink some strange potion and accidentally turn himself into an idiot.
This kind of case has not been unheard of in the wizarding world.
Albert was stunned for a moment, a little surprised at Dagworth's proposal, but he agreed very straightforwardly. After all, with the help of a potion master, it was not too difficult for him to learn how to make the Bafey Brain-Stimulant.
