Harry Potter and the Old Ones

"Please continue." Investigator Tiera said gently, "I'm not an old witch like Dolores Umbridge, after all, my purpose as an investigator is to explore Hogwarts' past education methods and The loopholes and deficiencies in the knowledge system are the institutional problems of the wizarding world in the past hundreds of thousands of years. It is not your problem alone. Please rest assured and don’t be nervous. This investigation will not have any impact on your personal reputation. , please continue your lectures."

"Oh, oh... okay, okay..." Horace Slughorn silently wiped away the cold sweat that didn't exist, and then continued—

"Well... I, where did I say... Oh, yes, yes." Horace Slughorn gently patted his forehead and said, "Such a small bottle of Fuling Elixir, That's enough luck for twelve hours. You'll be lucky in everything you want to do, from dawn to dusk."

Saying that, Horace Slughorn shook the bottle in his hand again.

"But at the same time, as a qualified teacher, I must warn you..." Horace Slughorn emphasized the word "qualified", "Fu Ling Pharmacy is in every organized It's forbidden in competitions...like Quidditch games, exams, elections...so the winner can only use it on an ordinary day...and wait for that ordinary day to become extraordinary!"

"Professor Slughorn!" Student Tiera raised her hand again.

"What's the matter, Tiera?" Horace Slughorn asked with a hint of helplessness in his voice.

"Then how to test?" the student Tiera asked. "Since its use is prohibited in major competitions, exams and elections, how to test whether the Fuling Pharmacy has been used?"

"Well... Yes, there will be special spells and reagents... To be precise, before everyone participates in major competitions, there will be special people who will use this type of spell to prevent someone from taking magical medicines such as Fuling Potion. ."

"What about before the exam? During the election?" Tiera asked rhetorically, "If someone just takes a drop of potion that is enough to last an hour or even half an hour during an exam or an election, how can we detect it? "

"This...this..." Horace Slughorn said with a stammer, "There is really no good way in the exam...but if you have poor eloquence, but you are suddenly eligible for the election...after the fact It's easy to reveal the truth. After all, if this is really a very important election, your competitors will soon be able to detect that something is wrong with you in the election process, even if the election could not be detected at the time due to the influence of Fuling Elixir, In retrospect, it will definitely be revealing.”

"After all, as I said before, taking too much can lead to carelessness and dangerous overconfidence, and even the first time you take it, you can be excited, frenzied, arrogant, and talkative. ." Horace Slughorn explained, while secretly relieved, Tiera finally asked a question that a student should ask, "It's easy for shrewd wizards to see through."

"In other words, will the Fuling Pharmacy have a very serious impact on the emotions of the user?" asked Tiera, a student. "Does it only amplify emotions such as excitement, arrogance, and fanaticism? Or does it affect each of us? Unique emotional reinforcement, amplification?"

"I...I don't quite understand your question..." Horace Slughorn asked.

"For example, after Voldemort took it, he would become more cruel because of the effect of the elixir of blessing, or after a caring person took it, would he be more loving? Or a irritable person took it. Will it be more irritable?" Tiera asked, "Or will everyone show the same frenzy after taking it?"

"This..." Horace Slughorn said hesitantly, "because so far there are too few recorded wizards who have taken Fuling Elixir, and the records on this are too vague... so I'm really sorry... I don't know the answer to that question either."

"Okay, thank you Professor Slughorn." Student Tiera said, and investigator Tiera began to write something in the notebook.

"So, can the Fuling Elixir be used to fulfill the prophecy?" the student Tiera asked again.

"W-what?" Horace Slughorn was taken aback.

"I mean...can the elixirs be used to fulfill prophecies ahead of time?" Tiera said. "Like Harry."

"Huh? What?" Harry was also taken aback, wondering why Tiera called him suddenly.

"For example, according to the famous prophecy..." Tiera said slowly in a solemn and low voice, "The man with the energy to conquer the Dark Lord is approaching... Born in a man who defeated the Dark Lord three times family...born in the seventh month...the Dark Lord marks him as a rival...but he has powers that the Dark Lord doesn't understand...one must die at the hands of the other because both cannot live , only one will survive... The one with the power to conquer the Dark Lord will be born at the end of the seventh month..."

"According to the prophecy, Harry will defeat Voldemort." Tiera said, "But obviously, Harry's current strength is no match for Voldemort."

"But what if Harry drinks the Elixir before confronting Voldemort?" Tiera asked. "So now Harry can kill Voldemort right away?"

"Ah... this... this... this..." Horace Slughorn began to stutter again.

Even Harry, who was standing beside Tiera, widened his eyes in shock~www.wuxiamtl.com~ looked at Tiera blankly.

"Or let's change our minds..." Tiera asked, "How did Voldemort drink the Elixir of Fortune?"

"Will Voldemort take advantage of the effects of the Elixir, please prophecy?" Tiera asked again.

"Although it is reasonable to say that the things in the prophecy will definitely happen... But even so, the prophecy belongs to the future after all." Tiera said, "But now there are too many factors that affect the future, whether there is such a kind of blessing medicine. A force so powerful that it can affect the law of causality, can it affect the entire future tributary?"

"This...this...this..." Horace Slughorn wiped the real cold sweat on his forehead, "I don't know..."

"Theoretically speaking, within the 12 hours after taking the medicine, you can achieve anything you want, but... but the prophecy will definitely happen... this... this... this... ' Horace Slughorn stammered, not knowing how to explain it.

"That creates a paradox, doesn't it?" Tiera finished for Horace Slughorn. "That's interesting."
