Harry Potter and the Old Ones

"Exactly, ten more points for Gryffindor. This is an interesting little potion, Fuling's Reagent." Horace Slughorn said, "The technique of making it is also very clever. If it fails, it will cause disaster. . But if it's made correctly, like this one, you'll find that all your efforts lead to success... at least until the effects wear off."

"Then why don't people drink it all the time, Professor?" Terry said eagerly.

"Because as Mr. Tiera... said, taking too much can lead to carelessness and dangerous overconfidence..." said Horace Slughorn, "Too much of a good thing, you know... Taking too much will cause severe toxicity. But take only a little, very occasionally..."

"Have you ever drank, Professor?" McCona asked with great interest.

"Of course I've had it twice in my life," said Horace Slughorn, "once when I was twenty-four, and once with my breakfast when I was fifty-seven. Two tablespoons, those two perfect days.”

He looked into the distance dreamily. Whether he was acting or not, Harry thought, it worked well.

There was silence all around, and every bubble and droplet in the surrounding medicine seemed to be magnified.

"A small vial of Fulin's reagent," said Horace Slughorn, taking out a small cork-stoppered glass bottle from his pocket and showing it to them, "is enough to maintain good luck for twelve hours. From dawn to dusk, you’ll have luck in everything you try to do.”

"Professor Slughorn." The voice that shocked Horace Slughorn sounded again.

"T-Tiera...you, you, what's your problem?" Horace Slughorn asked fearfully.

"Yes, I have a question." Student Tiera asked, "What is the principle of Fuling Potion?"

"Wha, what?" Horace Slughorn asked in confusion.

"My question is, is Fuling Potion's affected person the person who takes it, or the people or things around the person who takes it?"

"Oh...this...this..." stammered Horace Slughorn.

"For example," Tiera asked, "After drinking the Fuling Potion, you survived an extremely dangerous and even near-death war. This can be said to be the effect of the Fuling Potion on yourself."

"But if you drink Fuling Potion and then walk into the casino to play odd and even numbers, you will get the points you want every time, or buy lottery tickets, or play wizard cards..." Tiera paused and said. , "In the end, you can get the results you want, then...can we understand that the principle of action of Fuling Potion is to act on the outside world, and we can even be bolder in assuming..."

"What about the entire fate line that affects the user?" Tiera asked.

"This... this... this... I, I don't know..." Horace Slughorn said as he wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Okay, I understand." The person who spoke this time was Investigator Tiela. After investigator Tiela finished speaking, he conjured a record book in his hand and wrote something in the notebook.

"You, you, you...what are you writing?" Horace Slughorn asked nervously.

"Recording question." Investigator Tiera raised her head, smiled slightly and said, "There are too many things that we don't understand about the spells and potions we used in the past. Many times we don't know the principles, but use them in one go, and there are many People have not continued to study in depth, so I plan to record these issues and set up projects and research funds to deepen our understanding and exploration of magic."

I'm really sorry. It's my tutor's birthday today. I drank with him and made me groggy. So I only have more than a thousand words today. I will definitely find an opportunity to make up for it in the future.
