Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Chapter 344 Love Potion and Poison ([-])
Hermione pulled Lavender out of the common room. Fortunately, there were not many people in the corridor at this time, and they could easily see the backs of Harry and Ron.

Seeing this, Lavender was about to rush over quickly, but Hermione didn't stop her without paying attention, and watched her run over helplessly.When Hermione chased after him, Ron kept saying those extremely hurtful words.

"Love Potion?" Hermione asked Harry in a low voice, and Harry nodded while pulling Ron towards the stairs, still saying to himself, "Aren't you looking for Romilda? Let's go... ..."

Lavender's tears welled up in his eyes again, feeling anxious.She heard what Hermione said just now, and already knew what happened to Ron.

"What to do, Hermione?"

"Let's follow!"

Harry and Ron were at the front, Hermione and Lavender fell behind, and soon they were outside Slughorn's door.Harry knocked on the door anxiously, and opened it after just one knock.

"Harry, it's too early..." Slughorn, wearing green velvet pajamas, glanced sleepily at Harry and Ron, and Hermione and Lavender not far behind them.

"Sorry Professor." Harry said softly, trying to stop Ron who was about to rush in.

"My friend Ron took the Love Potion by mistake, can you give him some antidote? I wanted to take him to Madam Pomfrey, but things from Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes are forbidden, so... It would be embarrassing if asked..."

"Haven't you got an antidote for him, Harry?" Slughorn asked, regaining his composure a little.

"I've never prepared the antidote for the love potion, Professor, when I prepare it, maybe Ron..."

"Where is she! I can't see her, Harry!" Harry was explaining when Ron suddenly wailed.

This voice also woke up Slughorn. He looked at the young Ron with great interest, and asked, "Is the potion not expired? You know, the longer you leave it on, the stronger the potion will be."

"I don't know, but it's been at least three months." Harry said breathlessly, and he had to use most of his strength to stop Ron.

"Okay, come in, and Miss Granger and Miss Brown, come in..." Slughorn understood, and stepped aside, "The antidote is not difficult..."

As soon as he got out of the way, Ron broke free from Harry and rushed in. His eyes kept scanning Slughorn's crowded study room, and he kept muttering Romilda's name.

At this time, Hermione walked in with the crying Lavender and showed Slughorn an apologetic expression.

"Sorry to bother you, Professor."

"It's okay, it's okay, as I said, the antidote is very simple..." Slughorn said as he opened his medicine bag, and added various ingredients into a glass bottle.It's amazing that when those strangely colored ingredients are thrown into the bottle, the liquid inside becomes clearer.

"Drink it, it will keep you calm." Slughorn handed the glass bottle to Ron. "You don't want that pretty lady to see you in such a rush, do you? Trust me." , the ladies don't like that."

"Really, that's great!" Ron took the bottle after hearing this, and couldn't wait to drink the antidote.

Harry and the others looked at Ron, and not long after, the smile on his face slowly disappeared, leaving only extreme fear.

"Roro!" Seeing this, Lavender rushed over and hugged Ron.Ron's body trembled, letting Lavender sit on the armchair beside him.

He didn't speak, but held Lavender's hand tightly.

"Back to normal?" Slughorn smiled, and Harry smiled too.

"Thank you, Professor." Lavender thanked gratefully.

"You're welcome, kid," Slughorn said. "I've been teaching for so many years, and it's not the first time I've seen this kind of thing. He needs to be refreshed. This is what he needs now."

With that, Slughorn walked to a table covered with various drinks.

"Believe me, this void of crushed love needs a drink that will cheer you up...Let me see, I have butterbeer, wine, and the last barrel of mead...Well, I was going to give it to Deng Bullido made a Christmas present..."

"Forget it, he doesn't know anyway, why don't we open it up and celebrate Mr Weasley's disillusioned love?"

Everyone except Ron laughed, even Lavender, who was still in tears.

Slughorn poured a glass of mead for everyone, held up the glass and said, "Come on, to Rover..."

"It's Ron..." Harry reminded in a low voice, but Slughorn didn't seem to hear it, still smiling and saying his toast.

Feeling a little helpless, Harry looked at Hermione, who was smiling slightly, but saw her shrugging.Looking at Ron and Lavender again, only to find that Ron's glass was empty.

"Well!"

"Ron!"

Lavender screamed, but the cup in Ron's hand had fallen to the ground.He grabbed his neck tightly with both hands, and wanted to stand up from the chair, but he fell straight down, his limbs began to twitch violently, and white foam came out of his mouth.

"Professor! Find a way!" Harry yelled, but Slughorn didn't seem to hear him, and he froze in place, muttering that it was impossible.

Harry looked anxious, and ignored the stunned Slughorn, and rushed straight to his dispensing bag.But Hermione wanted to go one step faster, she just dumped out the contents of the dispensing bag, grabbed a bezoar and ran back.Harry could see clearly that it was the same stone that Slughorn had taken away from him in Potions class.

"Pry his mouth open!" Hermione yelled, before Harry could finish speaking, Harry had already run over to Ron's mouth with Lavender.As soon as it was pried open, Hermione slid the bezoar into it.

In just a few seconds, Ron shivered violently, his limbs no longer twitched, and went limp.

"Rolo, Rolo..." Lavender knelt beside him crying, watching Ron's breathing gradually calm down.But his eyes were still closed, and he looked extremely weak.

At this moment, Harry took the bezoar out of Ron's mouth and threw it aside.He grabbed Ron's arm again, trying to pull him up from the ground.

Before exerting any force, Ron's body floated up from the ground, but Hermione pulled out his wand at some point.

"Don't stay here, take him to the school hospital..." With that said, Hermione walked out the door, and Ron's body floated behind her.Seeing this, Lavender quickly got up from the ground and followed closely.

Harry also chased after him. Before going out, he looked back at Slughorn who was still standing there, and a guess immediately came to his mind:
I'm afraid the poison is aimed at Slughorn, right?
