Harry Potter: I started checking in from Diagon Alley

Ron would never take medicine given to him by others, and Fred and George tried to test the medicine on Scabbers more than once.

But Eric was different; Ron trusted Eric almost unconditionally in this regard.

After all, Eric's displayed strength was overwhelmingly powerful.

Whether it's spells or potions, Ron has never seen Eric who isn't good at anything.

Trying to question someone who surpasses him in every way will only prove that Ron is mentally unstable, and will not do him any good.

He couldn't think of any reason why Eric would harm a mouse.

"Ok."

Eric pinched Scabbers' mouth shut with his hand and calmly poured the Gregory's flattery he had obtained from Sirius into its mouth.

Chapter 87 School Clinic

Gregory's flattery.

A potion invented by a medieval wizard named Gregory.

This medicine has a very limited effect.

The user will regard the provider of the drug as their best friend and obey their every word.

The duration was quite long.

However, the drawbacks of this medicine are also obvious.

This medicine was last available on a large scale a century and a half ago.

the reason is simple.

Gregory's flattery is not only extremely complex to prepare, but also requires extremely expensive medicinal materials.

The ingredients for brewing one dose of Gregory's Flattery can yield at least five doses of the same quality.

Fortunately, Sirius Black is here, so none of these are problems.

Historically, since the emergence of simple and direct alternatives to the Imperius Curse and the Aphrodite, Gregory's Blessing has completely lost its market.

Although the development of magic is slow, it is by no means stagnant.

There are many ways to control people's minds, and compared with other magic, Gregory's flattery potion is not particularly cost-effective.

Its only advantage is its duration.

At this moment, the medicine began to work again in Eric's hands.

Peter Peterou, now transformed into a rat-like creature, was held in Eric's hand, his eyes wide, flailing his arms and legs, desperately trying to resist the potion from entering his mouth.

His intuition told him that it was highly unlikely that a wizard like Eric would carry normal pet tonics with him.

Only someone like Ron would believe that.

Eric was prepared. With a pinch of his fingers, Peter's mouse mouth opened involuntarily, and then Eric used his left hand to pour the entire bottle of medicine down his throat.

Gregory's flattery is ineffective in animals.

But Scabbers the rat is not a real animal.

Besides, Eric used a dose that could take the life of two adults.

Gumbling.

Banban's eyes gradually became unfocused.

A few seconds later, Banban excitedly jumped up and bounced around in Eric's hands.

Apart from Eric, the other three could not discern Brutus's thoughts, but they could clearly sense that it had regained its vitality.

"Alright, here you go, Ron."

"Wow, thank you, Eric. Scabbers seems much better." Ron took Scabbers and was delighted to find that his pet's spirits did indeed seem to have improved considerably.

How could it not be good? Imagine a rat taking two doses of medicine meant for normal humans.

With the potion in his mouth, Eric was no longer afraid that Peter would escape his grasp.

Peter can be taken care of slowly.

Poor Peter watched helplessly as the potion went down his throat, unable to resist and too afraid to revert to his original form.

After the potion took effect, Peter's gaze towards Eric became unusually warm, and he began to genuinely feel that having Eric as a friend was truly a good thing.

When Ron took it back, it even bit Ron in its haste.

Ron took this as a stress response to the mention of Crook Hill's name, and affectionately patted Spotty's head, the poor little mouse.

Eric took out his wand and laughed, "Now, you need to imagine in your mind that Scabbers is constantly facing the threat of Crook Hill. If you don't take action, you will lose your mouse."

"On this basis, try to recall happy things, preferably happy memories of you and Banban together."

“Recite the incantation and call upon the gods for protection. If all goes well, on your first attempt, you are unlikely to summon a physical guardian deity, but you should be able to summon a large cloud of white smoke, which is a necessary component of the guardian deity.”

Ron held his breath, took out his wand, thought for a moment, and said, "Put Your Guard."

A thin wisp of white smoke billowed from the tip of his wand, without any cohesion.

Ron was quite satisfied: "Did I succeed? I saw white smoke."

Eric nodded and said, "That's right. There's no trick to the Guardian Charm. It's a spell that requires a lot of willpower. With more practice, one day you will be able to summon a true Guardian."

Harry watched from the sidelines, his heart filled with longing. If even Ron could summon his Patronus, why couldn't he?

Harry doesn't think he's any worse than Ron.

Just as he was about to try out the magic wand, he heard the sound of several people's footsteps coming from outside the ward.

"Did I hear someone discussing the Patronus Charm?"

A handsome face peeked through the screen and asked.

Harry was taken aback; it was Cedric from Hufflepuff.

Several people followed behind him.

Cho Chang, Fred and George, as well as Wood and Angelina from the team, all came.

“Hey Harry, let’s see if you’re awake,” Fred said.

Wood added, "Angelina and I were worried after Fred told us about you, so we came to see you in person. We ran into Cedric on the way, so we came together."

Cedric said, "I don't need to say anything, I should have come to visit you no matter what. You should have won this game, or we could have played it again."

“Don’t say that, you won fair and square,” Wood objected.

Fred, George, and Angelina all nodded in agreement.

The Gryffindor team was very united and accepted the loss to Hufflepuff quickly, without feeling that the game was unfair.

Cedric did indeed catch the Golden Snitch through his own abilities.

The skills are not as good as the people, there is nothing to say.

Because Cedric persisted and stayed close behind Harry, he was able to catch Harry when he dropped his broom.

The entire Gryffindor team accepted their defeat wholeheartedly.

Not to mention, after Harry fell off his broom, Cedric was the first person besides Eric to react and try to help Harry.

This made the Gryffindors have a better impression of him.

Losing to an opponent like this is not shameful.

Harry said gratefully, "Thank you, I'm fine, and I promise it won't happen again."

Wood stepped forward and patted Harry on the shoulder, comforting him, "We've never blamed you, and there won't be a next time. Dumbledore has driven them all to the outskirts of the castle, and Dementors will no longer be allowed near the castle."

Cedric came up and shook hands with Harry, smiling, "It's good that you're alright."

Eric asked curiously, "You're here to see Harry too?"

He was asking about Qiu Zhang.

Cho Chang shook his head: "I came to see you. Professor Flitwick wants to talk to you again about the Duel Club. He asked me to let you know when you have time to come to his office."

Everyone was crowding around Harry's bedside, creating a noisy scene that naturally attracted the attention of the school doctor, Madam Pomfrey.

"Get out! All of you get out! You're disturbing the other patients!" Mrs. Pomfrey stormed over and said angrily.

It's getting too much.

She allowed whispering when it was just Eric and the other two around.

But what kind of scene is it with so many people crowding in now?

Eric took out his wand and chanted a spell: "Silence."

A transparent, hemispherical halo enveloped Harry's bed, blocking out Madam Pomfrey's voice and also preventing any sound from reaching the outside world from within the halo.

Only Eric's voice remained unaffected: "I'm sorry, is this alright, Mrs. Pomfrey?"

Mrs. Pomfrey was about to continue being angry when she suddenly realized that the person inside the transparent ring was still opening his mouth, and only Eric's voice could reach her ears.

Madam Pomfrey originally wanted to continue kicking Fred and the others out, but looking at Eric's smiling eyes, she thought for a moment and could only say helplessly, "Alright, Eric, Dumbledore told me that it's fine if it's you. He told me you would know what to do."

“I’ve examined Harry, and he’s definitely fine. He can be discharged now without any problems.”

“But!” Madam Pomfrey turned halfway around and warned Eric, “Magic is not allowed in the school infirmary. This is a one-time exception!”

Eric chuckled and waved his wand again: "I promise, Mrs. Pomfrey, this won't happen again. We won't disturb anyone else, no more smoke."

A thick plume of white smoke appeared, spreading along the hemispherical halo that Eric had just set up, filling the space around Harry, enveloping everyone who came to visit him, and completely blocking any view from the outside.

Chapter 88 Cedric's Challenge

George and Fred looked at the white smoke around them and couldn't help but whistle, saying excitedly, "That's cool."

Everyone else watched this scene with excitement.

Only Eric could create such a smooth process as to create an absolutely private environment out of thin air.

Cedric asked in surprise, "Were you just teaching them the Patronus Charm, Eric?"
