October is here in the Scottish Highlands, and the damp cold air fills the grounds and penetrates into the castle.
Perhaps because of the "Hogwarts Happy Farm", a cold suddenly broke out among the staff and students. Madam Pomfrey, the medical director, was a little confused for a while. This is almost an annual ritual at Hogwarts.
Fortunately, the school has extra sufficient manpower this year.
With the help of three potion masters and two (?) top alchemists, Madam Pomfrey is now worried about how to choose the most suitable potion from the works of the five masters. Obviously, the potion has no effect.
Stronger is not always better, especially when the potion masters began to secretly compete with each other, the quality of the refreshing potions sent to the school infirmary were surprisingly good.
There is no doubt that these refreshing agents have an immediate effect, and the common cold can be completely cured almost in the blink of an eye.
However, people who drank those potions would experience smoke coming from their ears for several hours.
During this period of time, the players on the Hogwarts freshman team, together with their head coach Hermione Granger, have almost become the most frequent group of students visiting the school infirmary, and the pick-me-up has almost become their warm-up drink.
.
So much so that every time they returned to their dormitories, steam would come out from under their hair, as if their hair was on fire.
Before the sudden cold snap, not to mention a weak little wizard, even an adult can easily catch a cold if he is not careful or stays up late for several days in a row. For example...
At this time, not far from Elena, Flamel and others, on the other side of Academy City.

Hogwarts College City Area E, Magic Energy Research Center.
"A sneeze"
Quirinus Quirrell sneezed heavily and looked a little sickly.
Due to the loss of magical protection, his body has become much worse than before, and more importantly, as an extremely rare and special case, Professor Quirrell cannot directly drink the refreshing potion provided by the Hogwarts School Infirmary.
Of course, this was not Madam Pomfrey's deliberate attempt to make things difficult, the main reason was that Mr. Filch also happened to have a cold.
As we all know, clinical controlled experiments are the most important link in medical research.
Squibs are originally an intermediate physique between wizards and Muggles, and their most obvious feature is that they can sense the existence of magic, which means that they are the ideal clinical comparison between potions and drugs.
Group.
Obviously, as a new member of "SCP", Quirrell was assigned to the "drug treatment" group.
"Come, Professor Quirrell, take the medicine."
Arkhipovna handed over a cup of steaming potion. While noting the medication status on the record board, she looked at the sick Quirrell curiously, as if she had discovered something new and interesting.
"I didn't expect you wizards to get sick too. I thought you could recover with just a wave of your magic wand..."
"Wizards are also human beings. Besides, magic is not just a prayer that makes your wishes come true."
Quirrell frowned, drank the bitter brown liquid in the cup in one gulp, and said helplessly.
"But if it were a refreshing potion, maybe I would have returned to normal a long time ago. Compared to potions, the potions made by your Muggles are really ineffective. Frankly speaking, I really don't know the meaning of this hardship."
where."
"Because ninety-nine percent of the people in this world are not wizards, Quirinas"
Not far away, Gilderoy Lockhart strode towards them, his green wizard robes fluttering behind him.
"Whether it is considered from the perspective of preparation process or versatility, today's potions are obviously not that convenient and easy to use in the field of treatment. If you leave Hogwarts, you can get a refreshing potion.
It took a lot of effort.”
"Today's work has just begun. You seem to have arrived a little early, right?"
Arkhipovna crossed her arms on her chest and frowned, knowing exactly what this meant.
In Academy City, any accident that occurs during an unplanned period of time will mostly have only one explanation. Due to some unspeakable secrets, these wizards were temporarily transferred to another project.
"This is the third time this month. Is magic energy research still your core project?!"
A trace of dissatisfaction appeared on the face of this female researcher from the Landau Institute.
"Sorry, sorry, this time is particularly important... This time it is a technological breakthrough from the Alchemy and Mendeleev Institute."
Lockhart explained helplessly, hooked an arm around Quirrell's shoulders, and said excitedly.
"Quirinas, you will definitely like this news, really"
