It seems that the dragon egg and unicorn hunting incidents have not happened yet. I don’t know if I can get related tasks from these two things.
On the way back to the castle with his own Tom, Albert was thinking about the possibility of this matter as he walked. Obtaining related tasks from known plots is undoubtedly the most convenient way to gain experience.
As for whether Porter will continue to follow the plot in the end, Albert is not sure, but he prefers to believe in the so-called law of historical revision, that some things cannot be easily changed.
When taking Tom back to the common room, Albert noticed that three roommates were huddled together and whispering, and he didn't know what they were whispering about.
Especially the subtle expression on George's face, which always made Albert feel a little strange. Fred and Lee Jordan also looked like they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.
"What happened to him?" Albert asked
Lee Jordan tried hard not to laugh. "George took a very small dose of croton bean powder and had some side effects."
"Diarrhea?" Albert didn't look at George to avoid laughing out loud. "Why don't you go find Madam Pomfrey and ask the head nurse to give you some medicine for your stomachache?"
"I just feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach." George didn't want to go to the school hospital, and he couldn't tell Madam Pomfrey that he had taken arachis bean powder!
"You can't keep making trouble..."
As soon as Albert raised his head, he saw George holding his stomach and running towards the dormitory toilet.
After George disappeared down the stairs, Fred and Lee Jordan finally couldn't help laughing.
"Stop it." Albert looked at the two people who were almost unable to straighten their backs with laughter and asked, "Didn't you find a way to cure your stomachache?"
"No." Fred shook his head regretfully.
"Then we can only go to Madam Pomfrey and tell her that Peeves added a small amount of powder suspected to be mulberry beans into George's food and see how the head nurse solves the problem," Albert suggested.
Since they couldn't find a solution, they had no choice but to seek help from professionals.
As for the blame, just put it on Peeves.
The two looked at each other in bewilderment. They had not expected such a method to work. Madam Pomfrey was indeed an authority in medical treatment. If they wanted to solve their stomach upset problem, naturally, finding her would be the fastest way.
As for putting the blame on Peeves, no one felt any psychological pressure. After all, it was not the first time that the naughty Peeves had done such a thing.
Even if Peeves really finds out about this, the worst that can happen is that I can give it some balsamic bean powder and make this matter an established fact.
About ten minutes later, George appeared at the stairs. He still looked unhappy. Fred immediately told him Albert's suggestion. Without waiting for George's consent, Fred and Lee Jordan took him to the school hospital.
Albert followed and told Madam Pomfrey what had been discussed earlier to prevent Fred and Lee Jordan from accidentally letting the secret slip.
“Suspected to be basil bean powder?”
Madam Pomfrey listened to Albert's description and looked at George's appearance, but she didn't doubt it. After all, she couldn't imagine that someone would add bean powder to their food.
It only took Madam Pomfrey a few seconds to cure a stomachache. She took out a bottle of medicine from the cabinet and poured a small cup for George. After George drank it, the effect was immediate and the stomachache was quickly cured.
"What kind of potion is this?" Albert asked.
"Antidiarrhea." Madam Pomfrey began to shoo people away.
After thanking Madam Pomfrey, the four immediately went to the library to look up the formula for the antidiarrhea potion. They flipped through several books in a row and finally found the formula for the antidiarrhea potion in a book titled "Treatment of Common Magical Illnesses".
However, what surprised the four people the most was that the antidiarrheal formula actually required the use of croton beans.
"Am I seeing things?" Fred raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, unable to believe what he saw.
"You read that right." Albert took the book "Treatment of Common Magical Ailments" to Madam Pince, intending to borrow it to study carefully.
It is not difficult to make antidiarrheal agents, but the difficult part is the processing of croton beans. This thing needs to be baked and degreased through an alchemical process before it can be used. The antidiarrheal agent made from unprocessed croton beans will not only fail to stop diarrhea, but will become a strong laxative, making diarrhea more serious.
"You can write to the pharmacy first, and you should be able to buy processed mulberry beans. However, I estimate the price of this medicinal material will be relatively high." Albert reminded.
Some medicinal materials need to be processed tediously through alchemical procedures before use, and the prices of these medicinal materials are very expensive!
Of course, what is expensive is not the medicinal materials themselves, but the complicated processing process.
"The antidiarrheal agent is really effective. It cured the diarrhea problem immediately." George couldn't help but sigh.
"I believe this thing can also be turned into a great joke prop." Fred had already foreseen a bunch of people having diarrhea and not having enough toilets. The scene would be too beautiful to be true.
"Don't think about that kind of weird stuff." Albert glanced at Fred and said unhappily, "Unless you want to be dragged into the toilet and beaten up one day."
"Of course not, I'm just thinking about it, and we also sell antidiarrhea drugs." Fred laughed maliciously.
"If you want to sell this to students at school, you'd better sell it after we graduate and leave school," Lee Jordan muttered. "I don't want to have a stomachache all the time."
Albert ignored his twin brothers who were doing a weird tap dance side by side, and carefully read all the contents of "Treatment of Common Magical Ailments". He was sure that this book was a common book that wizard families would buy.
"You have really never used antidiarrheal drugs or other drugs with similar effects before?"
"I have no impression." Fred shook his head.
"What about this book?" Albert asked, pointing to "Treatment of Common Magical Ailments".
"No, but we do have a 'Healing Manual' at home," Fred said after recalling.
"What if you have a stomachache?" Albert asked with a frown.
"Dad will get the potion from St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries. Just drink it. You know, the healers at the hospital will sell some simple potions for common symptoms to wizards who are not good at brewing potions." George thought for a moment and said, "I think that thing is most likely an antidiarrheal."
"After all, I haven't had stomach upset many times since I was a child, so it's easy to forget about it." Fred agreed, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I just think that if you really want to sell this thing, it's better to find another recipe." Albert didn't expect the Weasley twins to learn how to process black beans in a short time, and he didn't want to waste a lot of time and energy on this matter at that time.
