Chapter 570 Drinking (Please subscribe, please collect, please vote)
"Did you guys feel like Harry was acting weird after taking the medicine?" Ron asked Ryan and the others after Harry left. "I've never seen Harry like this before. Are you sure that bottle of medicine wasn't some crazy potion or something like that?"

"This could be a side effect of the Felix Felicis, right?" Ryan said. "Professor Slughorn once said that after drinking the Felix Felicis, one would feel that everything was under control. Harry's attitude just now might have been affected by the potion. However, if you drink too much of this potion, it will affect your brain. Now this feeling will turn into dizziness, recklessness, and dangerous arrogance."

"That sounds terrible." Ron shrugged, then looked at Ryan and Hermione. "So I hope Harry will succeed this time - by the way, what are you going to do next?"

"We, we want to take a walk around the castle. We've been too busy in the past few months and haven't had a rest. So we want to take a break today." Ryan and Hermione looked at each other and said.

"Well, have a good evening. I'm going to the common room to find Lavender now." Ron stood up, opened the door and walked out of the empty classroom.

"Now there are only two of us left." Hermione raised her lips slightly and revealed a smile. "Today, whether it is your improvement in strength or my passing the exam, it is worth celebrating, so where do you think we should go later?"

"Let's go to the classroom where the reading club is held." Ryan thought for a moment and said, "We can have a drink there and have a good chat. We have been so busy recently. I feel like we haven't had a chance to chat and relax like normal people for a long time."

"After all, this is a war time. We will have to work hard for a long time to achieve our goal. I think we may not need to be so busy after the war is over." Hermione stood up and pulled Ryan up. "Of course, it is a good thing to have a chance to rest in this situation. Let's go upstairs now."

Soon the two of them arrived at the classroom, which was empty. Ryan waved his wand and made three desks merge into a large table, then turned two stools into milky white chairs and placed them on both sides of the table.

Next, he continued to wave his wand, adding cushions, tablecloths and other accessories to the tables and chairs. At the same time, he opened his space pocket and used magic to direct some gold and silver utensils to fly to the table in a line and stop at the right position.

"Try these pastries, they are from the Palace of Versailles." When everything was arranged, Ryan first pulled out a chair for Hermione to sit down, and then he sat on the chair at the other end of the table and introduced them to Hermione. "And they are products from the heyday of the Palace of Versailles during the Louis XIV era."

"It's a little too sweet," Hermione complained after taking a bite of a single macaroon from a pastel plate on a silver stand, but she still ate the whole thing.

"There's nothing we can do about it. Sugar was a luxury in that era. As an aristocratic snack, it naturally has a lot of sugar in it." Ryan finished the small piece of cream cake in his hand in two bites. Sure enough, the amount of sugar in it is still a bit too much for modern people.

"It's okay. These snacks can be given to the children in the world of A Song of Ice and Fire as after-meal snacks today. They really like these sweet snacks, especially Daenerys and Lyanna. If it weren't for the nuns in the temple controlling them, they would definitely consume too much sugar."

"You don't need to worry too much. They will soon reach the age where they can show off themselves. At that time, they will naturally control their intake of various desserts." Hermione chuckled and said. Then Ryan and the others began to discuss the interesting things that happened in various worlds. The atmosphere at the table gradually became harmonious, and a long-lost sense of relaxation filled the hearts of the two people.

Of course, the snacks on the table had been replaced by the elves' craftsmanship in the world of "The Lord of the Rings", and even the bottles of wine on the table had become the elves' century-old fruit wine and mead. After all, they still had to go to school tomorrow, and only this kind of drink that would not make them drunk was suitable for them.

Just as the two were laughing about something funny in the Fallout world, the door of the empty classroom was suddenly knocked.

"It shouldn't be curfew yet, right?" Ryan looked at his watch and said, "Could it be a prank? Our classroom is in a remote corridor, and no one usually passes by here." "Let's take a look anyway." Hermione stood up and opened the door, and was surprised to find Professor Slughorn wearing a dark green velvet robe and a fancy tie. Behind him was Harry, who looked a little helpless.

"Ah, are you hiding here and drinking secretly?" Slughorn looked at the situation in the room and said, "It's okay, it's okay. When I was your age, I was also very interested in things like alcohol. Don't worry, I can understand the feelings of young people like you. So I won't tell this to anyone else."

Ryan noticed that Slughorn seemed more excited than usual tonight, so when Hermione conjured up more chairs for Slughorn to sit down, he lowered his voice and asked Harry who was following behind him, "Didn't you go to Professor Slughorn's office to have a party tonight? Why are you here now? And why does the professor seem different to me tonight?"

"It's like this." Harry also explained in a low voice, "I was just chatting with Professor Slughorn in his office and drank some wine. As we were drinking, he saw the bracelet you just lent me on my wrist and started asking about it. A voice in my mind prompted me to bring him to this classroom, so I told him that the bracelet was made by you. Then we came to this classroom together. As for the different feeling the professor gives people, I think it may be because he doesn't drink during class."

The voice in the head? Could the Felicity Potion have this effect? ​​Ryan thought about the effect of the Felicity Potion and sat down at the table with Harry. Since it was the Felicity Potion that guided Harry here, it meant that this was a place where Slughorn could pour out his heart. Ryan felt that he only needed to cooperate with Harry.

"By the way, speaking of drinking, you must try some of the fine mead I brought." Slughorn said, pulling out a bottle of wine from his robes and opening it.

"I checked it. There's no poison," he assured the others, dispensing wine into their glasses. "After what happened to your poor friend Robert, I had a house-elf taste every bottle of my wine."

Hermione frowned. She disagreed with Slughorn's decision to use house elves when there were so many ways to test for toxicity as a Potions professor. However, considering Harry's purpose today, she didn't say anything.

"Boys, let's drink to a better tomorrow." He raised his glass high in a toast after Slughorn finished his drink.

"For tomorrow." Ryan and the others raised their glasses and said together, and then everyone drank a big sip except Harry who pretended to take a sip. However, after the wine entered their mouths, Ryan and Hermione secretly used their own methods to remove the alcohol from the wine.

"Well, Ryan, I saw a magic defense bracelet at Harry's place. He told me that the bracelet was made by you, is that true?" After drinking a glass of wine, under the stimulation of alcohol, Slughorn directly stated the purpose of his coming here.

"Of course it's real, Professor." Ryan said in a tone of pride and pride, "This is the latest trial version of the bracelets I consigned in Weasley's Joke Shop before. I want to promote this thing through Harry, a celebrity."

"Oh, that should be it." Slughorn nodded. "I once spent a large sum of gold to buy a bracelet in this store, but your bracelet is different from the one I sold before, and I didn't recognize it at first."

After that, Slughorn pulled up his sleeves to reveal a gold bracelet. Ryan recognized that this was the top-notch defense bracelet that he had consigned in the store, and only eight of them had been sold so far. It seemed that the professor was indeed insecure.
