"When Jenny came back, she said she wasn't full. Ron saw a box of chocolates on your bed and gave it to her. As a result, many people in the common room shared some..." Parvati's voice was filled with sympathy and fear. "Harry, fortunately you weren't there just now and didn't fall for it... Fortunately, I've been on a diet recently. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing if I ended up like them... Oh, sorry, Hermione, I wasn't talking about you..."
After being reminded by Parvati, Hermione's face turned red. She pursed her lips tightly and squeezed out the words from between her teeth. "That box of chocolates was given to you by Romida Vanni. She added chocolate with a powerful aphrodisiac... In fact, I think she added more than one portion to it."
"Is the situation in the girls' dormitory very bad?" Harry looked at Parvati's expression and Hermione's and guessed. "Hermione, I thought you didn't like sweets..."
Hermione, who had been distracted again, came back to her senses and growled. "I was thinking about something else at the time. Jenny fed me one!"
"Now the girls' dormitory is very chaotic. The witches who fell for the spell are chasing after Romida like crazy. Romida's attraction to them is more than anything else in the world. They are just like those mindless zombies in the Muggle horror movie that was broadcasted on the wizard TV a few days ago..." Parvati looked at Hermione with vigilance and lingering fear. "At that time, Hermione hadn't recovered her senses yet. She was very fast and strong. In the blink of an eye, she caught Romida and pressed her to the ground... The other girls also surrounded her obsessively. They tore Romida's clothes and kissed her passionately as if they wanted to swallow her whole... The lipstick mark on Hermione's face was from Lavender's kiss. In the chaos, she mistook Hermione for Romida and hugged and kissed her a few times. She was even more forceful than when she kissed Ron... But fortunately, this also made Hermione come to her senses..."
Hermione, who was originally glaring at Parvati because she was so outspoken, couldn't be bothered to complain now. She only realized that there was still a mark on her face now. She wiped her cheeks with her sleeve with all her might — because she didn't eat much, drank the attribute magic potion, and felt like the epidermis on her face was about to burst from the kissing demon Lavender Brown's kiss, she recovered her senses much faster than the others. Therefore, even if the effect of the aphrodisiac hadn't subsided, she was still able to regain control of herself and successfully ran out behind Parvati.
"Are they okay?" Harry's eyes widened when he heard Parvati's crazy description.
"Apart from Romida, they are all okay?" Parvati shook her head uncertainly.
Hearing that there wasn't much of a problem, Harry looked at Hermione's face covered in Lavender's lipstick and couldn't help but want to laugh. However, he lowered his head when he was glared at by the other party. He coughed softly and said, "We have to find a way to help them solve their problem."
"Let's go and inform Professor Mag first." Parvati only remembered her plan before she ran out of the dormitory.
"No, if we tell Professor Mag, we will definitely lose a lot of points." In fact, Harry felt that this might be a good opportunity to ease the relationship with Professor Slughorn, so he advised, "Let's bring those who ate too much and became delirious to Professor Slughorn. Maybe he will be willing to help us. The others can stay here first, and wait for us to bring the antidote back for them … Uh, maybe we have to bring Ron along? He ate too much and is delirious now … "
Even if the effect of the aphrodisiac hadn't subsided completely, Hermione still made arrangements. "Parvati, you stay here and wait for us to bring the antidote back. Keep an eye on them and don't let them leave the common lounge in case they encounter any danger outside. Harry and I will bring the antidote back."
Following Hermione's instructions, Harry picked up Ron, who was holding a box of chocolates with a silly smile on his face. He put Ron's arm around his neck and half carried him out of the common lounge with Hermione.
Harry knocked on Professor Slughorn's door again. Slughorn opened the small window on the door and habitually closed it when he saw Harry's unhappy expression.
"Sorry, wait, Professor! We are in big trouble, and we need your help! "Harry hurriedly explained. This time, he had a more legitimate reason.
"What's wrong with Winnie?" Slughorn frowned when he saw Ron on Harry's back. He remembered another name by mistake. Then he forced a smile. "Oh, Miss Granger is here too."
Harry leaned close to the small window and whispered, "Aphrodisiac."
"The potion hasn't expired, right?" Slughorn began to look at Ron with professional interest. "You know, the longer it stays in the potion, the stronger the potion will be."
Ron happened to cry at this moment. "I can't see her, Harry … Did he hide Romida?"
"Oh, help him in." Professor Slughorn opened the door and walked to his potion cabinet. At the same time, he said to Hermione with a smile that had completely recovered. "Miss Granger, concocting the antidote should be a piece of cake for you."
Hermione was a little embarrassed in response. She was a little embarrassed to say that she was also under the influence of the aphrodisiac.
"We unanimously decided that this should be done by an experienced master, Professor." Harry helped Hermione out of the awkward situation. "We wanted to take him to see Madam Pomfrey, but according to the school rules, we are not allowed to buy things like the theater sold by Weasley's magic. So, you know … It's very awkward to ask … The other professors are not as tolerant and friendly as you are to us …"
Ron, who had been in a somewhat demented state, looked up at Professor Slughorn with his eyes shining with joy. He slowly moved over and hugged Professor Slughorn's body as if he had infinite love. His whole upper body leaned on Professor Slughorn's body, rubbed his cheek on Professor Slughorn's shoulder, and suddenly raised his head and kissed Professor Slughorn's cheek. Then he looked at the potion bottles with a silly smile on his face and said with a knowing expression, "Dear Vanni, do you want to have a drink with me?"
Professor Slughorn, who was held by Ron, stopped what he was doing. He tried to wipe the saliva on his face, but he couldn't because of the red-haired boy's hug. He helplessly turned to Harry and said, "It's still strong? Maybe you're right. "
Hearing Ron's name "Vanni", Hermione's face suddenly turned red, but she forcibly suppressed her surging emotions. She pretended to be unaffected, walked over with Harry, pulled Ron away from Professor Slughorn, and pushed him to sit on the sofa.
"I'm sorry, professor, about the previous misunderstanding …" Harry walked back to Slughorn and apologized to him.
Slughorn was focused on adjusting the potion and said in a relaxed tone, "Let bygones be bygones."
"I think you're tired of being asked these questions for so many years," Harry replied understandingly, "Those things about Lord Voldemort …"
"Don't say that name!" Slughorn violently interrupted Harry.
Hermione was still under the influence of the aphrodisiac, so she didn't react to their conversation. Seeing that Hermione's attention wasn't on them, Slughorn hurriedly gave Harry a look at Hermione.
Harry understood and quickly approached Slughorn and whispered, "I'm sorry, professor, she's my good friend … She knows the situation, so there's no need to hide it from her. In fact, she was also under the influence of the aphrodisiac, but she pulled through on her own. She's still a little confused now."
"Oh? Miss Granger is really amazing … Harry, it seems like you have a good relationship with both sides. " Slughorn shook the potion in the bottle and warned in a serious voice, "As someone who has been through this before, listen to my advice. Abusi Dumbledore and Allen Harris, you'd better stay away from them …"
At this moment, a thud came from behind them. Ron had just stood up with a pillow in his arms. He climbed onto the sofa and sat on the back of it. He leaned back and fell backwards, hitting the floor with a charming smile on his face.
Harry hurriedly rushed over and helped him sit back down on the sofa.
"I really admire Miss Granger. Your willpower is so strong that you can still remain calm under the influence of such a powerful potion."
Professor Slughorn handed Hermione a cup of a pink potion that emitted a mesmerizing glow.
"Thank you, professor." Hermione looked a little embarrassed and quickly drank the potion.
Seeing Hermione take the antidote, Professor Slughorn handed the remaining cup to Ron. "Okay, big boy, drink up."
Hermione's expression didn't change after drinking the potion, but her eyes became clearer. However, unlike the calm Hermione, Ron's silly smile suddenly turned into a look of horror.
Ron finally came back to his senses. He felt a little salty on his lips and asked in panic, "What happened to me?"
"Aphrodisiac." Harry stood on the side and answered.
"Strong," Professor Slughorn added, taking both of their glasses.
"I feel terrible." Ron sat in the same place in horror, trying to recall what had happened to him before.
"You have to drink something to refresh yourself. I have butter beer, wine, and aged oak honey wine here. I originally planned to use it for other purposes, but this situation is special. It's just right for your situation. " Professor Slughorn took out a bottle of beautifully packaged oak honey wine from his wine cabinet. He looked at the wine in the brown-red bottle and slightly raised his head. He frowned and tried to recall what it looked like.
Then he shrugged his shoulders and shook his head. He took out four transparent goblets and poured the golden honey wine into them. The flames burning in the fireplace reflected the luster of the wine in the goblet. It was sparkling and charming.
