Chapter 310

~6 min read 1,143 words

On the first day of school, John almost moved into the school infirmary again.

If he hadn't woken up at the critical moment and cast a shock-absorption and speed-reduction spell on himself, wouldn't he have been crippled by that fall?

John seriously suspected that the old bat was doing it on purpose.

While not being able to kill him, he also gave him a warning.

Expressing that he wouldn't show mercy to him next time or something.

It couldn't be that he wanted to express the old bat's homesickness, right?

At night, in the library.

John still went to the usual place to find Hermione to read books and do homework together.

"John, you're here, look at this, what is it?"

As soon as Hermione saw John arrive, she immediately took out a small bottle and shook it in front of John as if showing off.

The transparent liquid in the bottle occasionally emitted seven-colored light under the light.

"This... could it be Felix Felicis?"

John took a look and immediately had the answer.

After all, he had just learned it with Professor Snape last semester.

However, he hadn't actually brewed it; the brewing cycle for that thing was too long, and the materials were one more difficult to get than the other.

He just helped Professor Snape brew it, belonging to the category of knowing both theory and practice, just not having actually tried it himself.

In the end, he only brewed a small bottle similar to Hermione's.

It's just that it wasn't shared with him.

"Smart~"

Hermione blinked, handed the bottle to John, and said with a smile.

"The class we had this afternoon was Magic Potion Class, and then Professor Slughorn gave us a competition."

"Whoever can brew the best Draught of Living Death can get this small bottle of Felix Felicis."

As she spoke, Hermione took out her Magic Potion textbook from her arms again.

"It just so happens that it's all the content you told me about, and I easily brewed the Draught of Living Death."

John and Hermione had looked at this textbook together before; Hermione was previewing, and John was reviewing, after all, he had learned almost everything with Professor Snape.

Then, based on some of the content above, he helped Hermione sort out some difficult points and easy-to-make-mistake points, and modified some outdated or inaccurate content.

Didn't expect it to make a great contribution this time.

"Give this potion to you, don't you have a mission this year?"

"Maybe you can rely on its good luck to help you complete it."

Hermione said to John very generously, her eyes shining, like a puppy offering treasure, but John shook his head and said.

"No need, you keep it, I don't need this thing."

Hearing this, Hermione was stunned for a moment, and instantly drooped her dog ears (if she had any).

"Why? It's useless for me to have it..."

John was just about to say something when Yaomei's voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

【Idiot brother, quickly accept Hermione (Senior)'s kindness, and then hold Hermione (Senior)'s face and kiss her.】

???

Didn't I tell you not to pop out when I'm being intimate!

John was stunned by Yaomei's appearance.

However...

John looked at Hermione's slightly disappointed face, hiss...

Could it be that Yaomei really understands Hermione better than I do??

Thinking of this, John changed his words.

"Alright, then I'll accept it."

John said slowly to Hermione; hearing this, Hermione's eyes lit up again, and before she could say anything, John's hands were already cupping her face.

"Thank you, Hermione, for thinking of me so much."

Hermione was caught off guard and had her face cupped, looking at John's face close at hand and his serious eyes.

Her face burned instantly, and the tips of her ears were red enough to drip water.

Trying to stay calm, she stammered: "... No, it's nothing... just oof!"

Before she finished speaking, John kissed Hermione's lips; Hermione subconsciously closed her eyes, her hands resting on John's chest, as if she could feel John's strong and powerful heartbeat.

For a long time, the two separated, their eyes both a bit blurry.

"Idiot... this is the library, what if someone sees us later..."

Hermione said with a blushing face, scolding John weakly.

However, this scolding was as cute as acting like a spoiled child in John's eyes.

John pulled Hermione into his arms, and she was exceptionally docile.

In the past in the library, she wasn't so docile, because she was always afraid of being discovered, so she was pretending to be reserved.

Hiss......

Could it be that Yaomei is really a genius?

John really didn't expect to have an unexpected joy, getting a bottle of Felix Felicis from Hermione.

Although it was little, it was enough for one sip.

Felix Felicis can maintain 12 hours of good luck; this kind of good luck is hard to describe in words.

According to Professor Snape's description, it is that you will suddenly feel incredibly good, in a good mood, as if the whole world has given you a gentle push.

Of course, this thing cannot be taken in excess, or continuously, as if it will suffer a backlash.

John didn't want to use it so quickly either.

After all, whether it was fishing for information from Professor Slughorn or facing Professor Snape's assassination, he might use it.

The next morning, John and his little friends went to the Great Hall for breakfast together.

At this time, Harry suddenly covered a book and found John.

"Hey, John, come over here."

Harry beckoned sneakily, like a thief.

Although John was strange, he still followed Harry to a deserted corner.

"John, do you recognize this book?"

Harry handed the worn-out Magic Potion book in his arms to John and asked curiously.

"Hmm? Isn't this your sixth-year Magic Potion textbook? Hermione has one too."

John took the book and asked strangely, looking at the cover.

"No, this one is different."

Harry knew that he asked a bit hastily and inexplicably, so he hurriedly explained.

"This one wasn't bought by me; I originally thought my Magic Potion grades weren't enough to take the N. E. W. T. advanced class, so I didn't buy the textbook at all."

"But as a result, Professor Slughorn only required an E grade for the advanced class."

"So yesterday I went to Professor Slughorn's class with Ron."

"But because there was no textbook, we found a book left behind by a senior in a storage room where old books were kept."

"Then we found that this book was filled with dense annotations; Hermione said that many of the annotations on it were very similar to yours, so I came to ask you."

As he spoke, Harry opened the book.

I saw it written on the title page: ——This book is the property of the Half-Blood Prince.
