Hogwarts: Capturing Nagini at the Beginning

Chapter 58 Sneaking to Hogsmeade Village

The name of the potion on the sheepskin scroll is Murphy Elis, and it is divided into two parts. The upper part, Murphys, is the master of nightmare invasion, and the lower part, Elis, is the master who inspires the fear hidden deep in the heart.

If the two are used in combination, within a month, the person taking the medicine will experience the most fearful thing in his heart in endless reincarnations in his dreams. Moreover, when the mind is damaged to a certain extent, hallucinations are very likely to occur, causing irreversible damage.

Luo Bin: Well, the preparation process of Murphy Eli's potion is not very difficult, mainly because the materials are more difficult to obtain. Except for Amphora and Prunella vulgaris extract, other materials are not available in the student storage cabinets.

So how can we get all the materials?
  Ask Professor Sprout for help?
  No, it won’t work!

Putting aside whether Sprout has those materials or not, Hogwarts school rules clearly stipulate that first-year students are prohibited from mixing potions privately. If she sees the clues and reports it to her superiors, it will be really bad. .

Sneak into Snape's private storage room?

No, it won’t work either!
  In order to brew the polyjuice potion, the three little ones managed to steal a piece of African tree snake skin from Old Bat. Old Bat only glanced at the storage room and knew something was missing. If more than a dozen items were lost at once, he would definitely dig it up. Even if the ground is three feet high, the thief must be found.

Luo Bin collapsed on the ground like a big character, and said wiltedly: "If you can't beg, you can't steal, is it possible to buy? Oh, yes, buy, buy materials."

He suddenly remembered that there was a pure wizarding village next to the school - Hogsmeade!

On the streets where wizards come and go, the herbal medicine shop is of course a necessary supporting facility. If you go there, you can definitely get what you want as long as you have money.

The original book mentioned that Hogsmeade is located above the snow line in the mountains. There are no four seasons there, it snows all year round, and the temperature never reaches 0 degrees Celsius.

The school stipulates that students in third grade and above, with the signed permission of their guardian, can go to Hogsmeade Village for shopping on specific days.

Luo Bin is a first-year freshman, an orphan without a guardian, and he has not met the two requirements for leaving school and entering the village, but he can beat Liu Xiaolu!
  You know, the tunnel under the roots of the little green tree leads directly to the Shrieking Shack in Hogsmeade!

After Luo Bin made a rough purchase plan, he took his consciousness out of the sea of ​​​​consciousness and listened to the howling wind outside the window. After a while, he fell asleep quietly.

The next day, it was still dark.

Luo Bin, who was neatly dressed, left a note on his desk saying, "I'm going to read a book, don't disturb me." Then he quietly left the castle and sneaked to the Whomping Willow.

rustle! rustle!
  Whomping Willow Xiaolu sensed the arrival of her master and shook the treetops happily.

He was afraid that the rustling sound would attract Professor Sprout, and he quickly ordered the Whomping Willow to stop.

"Stop, stop!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiaolu suddenly stopped moving, as if he was petrified. Luo Bin got closer and could feel the emotions it radiated, which were sadness and grievance.

He pressed against the bark of the tree and said a few words of comfort, and then Xiao Lu became happy again.

Tsk, it’s really the nature of a child to cry when being scolded, and he still has to be coaxed!

Luo Bin comforted Xiao Lu and stretched out his hands to push aside the tree roots. Finally, between two python-thick tree roots, he found a large hole that could be drilled through.

"Xiao Lu, is this the tunnel leading to the Screaming Shack?" Luo Bin asked in a low voice.

A tree root as thick as a little finger stretched out in front of it and swung downwards in an anthropomorphic manner.

After receiving a positive answer, Luo Bin headed forward and crawled inside. He followed the slope downwards and crawled to the bottom of a very low and dark tunnel. He took out the food thing, waved it twice, and said: "Fluorescent!"

There was a ball of white light at the top of the ebony wand, and he could see clearly the environment inside the tunnel.

The tunnel is very long, winding and winding with no end in sight. At the top of the tunnel, there are many plant roots of different thicknesses that pierce the earth wall and hang down. Perhaps it is because there has been no ventilation for a long time. The air is filled with a strong musty smell and earthy smell. taste.

Luo Bin took out a facekerchief and covered his mouth and nose, bent over and held up the luminous wand, moving forward as fast as possible.

Fifty minutes later, the tunnel changed from flat to upwardly sloping. Luo Bin wiped the sweat from his forehead and thought to himself: It's so fucking long!
  He crawled up on his hands and knees, turned a corner, and saw a small, weak light. That was the exit!

After passing through the exit, Luo Bin came to a messy, gray room.

The wallpaper on the walls of the room has long since become moldy and fallen off, and the floor is covered with straw and stains. The damaged furniture is covered with scratches and bite marks from wild beasts. The windows are also nailed shut with wooden boards. The weak light comes from a large open door on the right.

Luo Bin walked through the door and walked through the foyer, and came to an empty yard covered with thick snow. He stood on tiptoes and looked into the distance. He could see rows of low buildings.

Obviously, the Shrieking Shack is on the edge of Gogmode Village and is not favored by the villagers.

After all, affected by Lupine's wolf howl on a full moon night, the villagers unanimously believed that the shack was a haunted house, and even a wizard with magic would not want to cause such big trouble as a ghost.

Luo Bin took off his witch robe and changed his disguise on the spot.

The shoes were replaced with leather boots with inner height, the witch robe was replaced with a slim-fitting winter coat, and then a long black cloak was put on, a hood and a mask were put on. The hair turned golden and the eyes turned sky blue.

After ensuring that the camouflage was in place, he walked through the snow and walked toward the buildings ahead.

Although it's not Christmas yet, the shopping street in Hogsmeade looks like a Christmas card.

The spiers of the huts and shops were covered with a layer of crisp white snow, and garlands of holly were hung at the door, and candles enchanted by the wizard were also hung on them.

Luo Bin's first stop was the nearest spice and joke shop.

It is only one house away from the Honeydukes candy store mentioned many times in the original book. The store has large glass windows with various props that can be used to make pranks.

For example: a firework balloon that explodes when it takes off, a teacup that bites your nose when you drink water, a candy that makes you burp when you eat it, a perfume that loses your sense of smell when you smell it, a cannon ball that smells like shit when you explode it, etc.

On the first floor of the store, near the stairs, the Weasley brothers, who have bright red hair, are discussing how to make full use of the props in their hands.

Luo Bin listened to a few words when he passed by, eh, the two brothers are still obsessed with Loris!

Last time, he was made into a hairless cat and kept in isolation for a week. After drinking the animal version of hair growth potion, he dared to go out and accompany Filch on patrol. This time you plan to turn someone into a hairy monster?
  Still the kind that always grows hair.

Cruel, so cruel!
  Luo Bin, like other customers in the store, walked around slowly.

Finally, I chose a transparent pigment aqueous solution that will develop color under specific conditions and evaporate without leaving any trace. After paying 10 Knuts, I turned around and headed to the famous candy store.
