"Oh, Miss Brown, why haven't you left yet? It's time to turn off the lights in a while..."

In the small hall with a warm atmosphere, Slughorn was about to pack up his things and leave, when he turned around, he found that there was still a person standing at the door.But probably because he had drunk some wine before, his eyes now seem to be so erratic.

Therefore, when he saw Lavender by the door, he squinted his eyes and took a closer look before asking a little dullly.

"Professor Slughorn, as a matter of fact, I have something to ask you..." Lavender lowered his head pretendingly, deliberately showing a look of embarrassment, "It's like this... Actually, I think Please give me a bottle of anti-swelling agent."

"Anti-swelling agent? Are you injured?"

In any case, Slughorn is an excellent potion master after all.Even in a state of drunk, he can immediately respond to problems related to his profession.

"I think you should go to the school hospital. Pomfrey will cure you. She has always been very capable!"

"Yes, you're right, but..." Lavender took two steps forward, twistingly said, "Professor, I want to apply medicine by myself, but Madam Pomfrey will never allow me If you do that, you will not give me the potion."

"Put the medicine on your own? Why?" Slughorn asked in a puzzled manner. "Although it is not a problem to give you a bottle of anti-swelling agent, it is cheap after all... But if you are injured, you have to go to the school hospital That’s good, because sometimes you may not be able to find the problem yourself. If it worsens because of the delay in treatment, it’s not good... Well, where did you hurt?"

When the old man asked this question, Lavender's eyes flashed a bright light.

"Oh...Professor Slughorn," she pretended to be shy, "I'm hurt...you...do you really want to know?"

Lavender said on this side, he also "subconsciously" covered his collar, as if he felt something inappropriate.At this moment, even if Slughorn didn't even look at it, he couldn't help but feel the illusion that "I just glanced at it accidentally".

"Uh...cough cough..." The old man cleared his throat awkwardly, and most of his drunkenness had disappeared. "Okay! If you just want a bottle of anti-swelling agent, this is of course no problem... ...Come with me! I left my medicine box in the office..."

"Thank you! Thank you very much..." Lavender quickly complimented, "I knew you would agree, because you are the kindest and most kind professor I have ever seen!"

"Oh, it's really nothing." Slughorn said without looking back as he walked to the door quickly, "Of course, if something is still wrong after using the medicine, then you must go to the school hospital, I see. ?"

"Okay, I see." Lavender obediently responded in her sweet and greasy tone, and for a while, the old man's pace was obviously faster.

After the two rushed to Slughorn's office one after the other, the old man just wanted Lavender to wait at the door, but the latter leaned in first.

"I haven't been to your office yet! I heard that every professor's office has their own characteristics," Lavender said curiously, "Do you mind if I go in and take a look?"

While talking, she stared at Slughorn with a look of expectation, which made the old man very hard to resist.

"Of course I don't mind... I mean, if you don't worry about missing the lights out time..."

As Slughorn stretched out his wand and tapped on the doorknob, the door to the office was immediately opened.And not long after he walked into the office, Lavender followed closely.

But seeing her look left and right curiously, the next moment, a box nearly half a person's height quickly came into her eyes.It actually looked like a Muggle refrigerator, and it was still upright.

"Is this your potion box? It looks awesome!" Lavender said excitedly, "Professor, where is the anti-swelling agent?"

"Ah, it's the third floor from the top down, right on the left." Seeing this, Slughorn had to lift up his wand again and pointed it away, opening the potion box, "the light brown potion bottle, Can you see it? I put a label on the bottle, it should be easy to find..."

"Light brown...well, is this this?" Lavender looked inward and left. The old man said it was the left hand side, but she kept looking around, as if looking for something.

When she heard Slughorn's footsteps getting closer and closer here, she finally caught a glimpse of a familiar luster in the corner of her eyes.

"Oh! I think I found it"

Lavender picked up the beige potion bottle with a white label from the third floor, then turned around and raised his right hand and shook it towards the old man.

"Is it this? Professor?"

She didn't expect Slughorn to have already walked behind her, which scared her.Fortunately, she was already prepared, her face was stiffened, and she didn't show anything unusual.

"Yes, that's right..." the old man nodded and said, "You got it right."

"This is great"

Lavender was poignantly perfunctory, but the left hand hidden behind the back quietly took a look at the spot where he had just spotted it.Because she had placed her left hand there before, this grasp was quite accurate. She held the potion with the red label directly in her hand.

"Professor, um... although this is what I asked you to do, but..." After getting what she wanted, she started the pretentious mode again, "I can really take it away, right? "

"Of course, of course" Slughorn waved his hand, "Don't worry too much, it's just a bottle of anti-swelling agent! Compared to this, I am actually more worried about whether you will miss the light-off time, I will order it soon! "

He said, looking back at the wall clock on the wall, Lavender took the opportunity to put the potion bottle in his left hand into his pocket.

"Ah...This is really regrettable. I want to take a good look at your office!" She stomped her feet in pretending disappointment. "Professor, can I find time to come here later?"

"No problem, as long as I'm here, it's always welcome." The old man smiled and said, "I can tell you something about some of the students I have taught in the past, I believe you will be interested!"

"That sounds good," Lavender looked around in the office as he walked to the door, "Then... Professor, I'll go back to the bedroom today... Good night!"

She walked out the door, trying to close Slughorn's office door, and then secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly heard another voice.

"Miss Brown...can you give me a reasonable explanation about why you are here?"

This time she was completely unprepared, so she finally trembled with fright.Of course, it was undoubtedly Snape who was in charge of the inspection tonight after the lights were turned off. As far as his cold tone was concerned, no one was not impressed.

"Of course, before you explain," Snape said flatly, "Gryffindor deducts 5 points."

...

While Lavender was secretly worried about his bad luck, Harry and the others had already returned to the common room.It was just because of a small thing that none of the three of them could go to the dormitory to prepare for sleep.

Right now, they were gathered around a round table, and then the light coming through the window looked at a gift box placed on the table.This little gadget was beautifully packaged, and the ribbons and decorations were not lacking. It was the gift Slughorn gave Hermione at the dessert tasting before.

Said it was a gift, it was actually the prize Hermione won.According to Slughorn, he mixed the elixir into a box of chocolates to make it "more like a gift for a lady."

Unfortunately, whether it was still in a bottle or turned into chocolate as it is now, Hermione was not very interested.Because of the old man's face, she still accepted it.

"Harry, don't you think there will be side effects? It's yours," Hermione said, and pushed the gift box containing the chocolates to Harry.

"No, no, I just thought about it. Since Maca said it, it shouldn't be wrong." Harry immediately pushed him back. "Besides, isn't this a prize given to you by the professor? For you"

"But I don't want it!" Hermione pushed over again, "Don't push it! Anyway, you can collect it or lose it, anyway, I don't want it!"

After all, she turned her head and walked straight to the stairs leading to the girls' bedroom.Harry picked up the gift box and looked around first, then subconsciously looked at Ron beside him.

"Hey, don't look at me!" Ron hurriedly jumped aside, "Luck first and then bad luck. I can't bear this. I would rather not happen to anything. Life is good now!"

"Don't worry, I won't give it to you." Harry immediately shook his head and said categorically, "If you just leave it around, I can't stand it."

"Then you don't go to my bedside table to eat the honey candy!" Ron said suddenly, "You are so rich, and you always come to my poor man to steal candy..."

"That's not because you don't want me when I ask you?" Harry gave him a blank look.

"Okay, let alone these useless!" Ron suddenly grabbed the gift box in Harry's hand and put it back on the table. "Stay here! Whoever wants to take it, this It's okay..."

"Then at least I have to leave a reminder for everyone." Harry pulled out the quill pen from his school bag and wrote a line on the gift box. Then he put away his pen and ink and clapped his hands. "Okay! We can go to sleep!"

After speaking, the two also walked to the bedroom with their shoulders on their backs, and soon disappeared from the stairs.
