Chapter 542: Who's Next?
Chapter 542: Who's Next?
Albert paid a visit to the school hospital and recounted Lee Jordan's unfortunate incident to Madam Pomfrey. The matron thought Albert should bring Lee to the hospital for treatment, and it took some time to explain the situation to Madam Pomfrey.
As for how to explain the Love Potion? Well, Lee Jordan accidentally consumed some sweets that were laced with a Love Potion and sent to him by someone else, of course.
Madam Pomfrey's expression was priceless, probably never expecting that children this young would already be dabbling in such things.
Albert took the opportunity to ask Madam Pomfrey how to prepare an antidote for the Love Potion, so that he would know for future reference.
Madam Pomfrey didn't refuse and, as she mixed the antidote for Lee Jordan, she gradually explained the composition of the antidote to Albert.
It was simply a matter of adding a little of this and a little of that into a small crystal vial and thoroughly mixing the potion, and the antidote was ready.
"Drink this, and it will counteract the effects of the Love Potion," Madam Pomfrey said as she handed the antidote to Albert.
After thanking her, Albert hurriedly left with the antidote in hand.
Lee Jordan was soon awakened, and before he could fully comprehend what had happened, the three of them pried his mouth open and poured a large cup of the Love Potion antidote down his throat. It didn't take long for him to return to his normal self.
"Cough, cough. Couldn't you be a bit more gentle?" Lee Jordan kept coughing and didn't forget to complain about their rough treatment.
At this moment, Fred and George had already lost all sense of decorum and were lying on the bed, slapping the sheets with their palms, laughing raucously.
"You two are enough!" Lee Jordan glared at the Weasley twins before shooting a plaintive look at Albert.
"It's just bad luck for you. It's not anyone else's fault," Albert shrugged, indicating that he was also a victim of circumstances.
What could he do? It's not like he laced the sweets; it was just unfortunate that Lee Jordan was the one who reacted this way after consuming them.
"By the way, does anyone know who Quirinus is?"
Lee Jordan was also curious about the bold girl who dared to send Albert snacks laced with a Love Potion.
"No idea. You should be better at this than us,"
Albert passed the problem on to Lee Jordan to handle, reasoning that if the person was indeed a student at Hogwarts, they should be able to find out her identity.
"What? Are you still pining for that person?" Fred's expression turned strange as he heard Lee Jordan's words.
"I was just..."
"No need to explain, we understand," George patted Lee Jordan's shoulder and smiled, "But speaking of the Love Potion, what does it feel like after taking it?"
Albert interrupted their unproductive banter to ask about something he was more concerned about.
"What does it feel like?" Lee Jordan furrowed his brows as he tried to recall, "The person's appearance will keep popping up in your mind, and you'll become extremely infatuated with them. But then again..."
"Quirinus must be a beautiful girl," George interrupted with a mischievous smile.
"Indeed, she's quite a beauty, and young too," Lee Jordan nodded, "She's probably younger than us and likely a student at Hogwarts."
With that, Lee Jordan hurried off to investigate Miss Quirinus.
"Is he really falling for her?"
Fred and George watched Lee Jordan's retreating figure and then turned to Albert, asking in unison, "Do you think the antidote didn't work?"
"The antidote prepared by Madam Pomfrey should be effective. It seems that Miss Quirinus really matches Lee Jordan's taste. Perhaps spring has come for him too," Albert teased.
To be honest, Albert didn't have any favorable impressions of Miss Quirinus.
Anyone who knowingly sends him snacks laced with a Love Potion, despite knowing he already has a girlfriend, surely has malicious intentions.
In the afternoon, when Albert and Isabelle met at the 'Needful Things' shop, he casually brought up the incident.
"Quirinus?," Isabelle chewed on the name, seemingly searching for any information she might have, "Do you mean Quirinus Quirrell?"
"That's her," Albert nodded.
"Quirinus Quirrell is a student in Slytherin House," Isabelle shared what she knew, "Given Slytherin's attitude towards Muggle-born wizards, her sending you a Love Potion probably means..."
"I can guess," Albert twisted his lips.
"No, you're underestimating your own charm," Isabelle leaned in to kiss Albert's forehead, "Most girls actually like handsome and famous boys."
"Lockhart is quite popular."
"No, I'm talking about you."
"But I already have a girlfriend."
"That doesn't matter," Isabelle sighed softly, "You're quite popular among the girls, especially after winning the International Wizard Chess Championship. They're all envious that I managed to win your heart."
"And?"
"They want me to introduce you to them."
"What did you say?" Albert asked with a smile.
"I said I would if there's an opportunity."
"Then there won't be any opportunities," Albert nodded, "That's fine. If they like handsome and famous wizards, they can get to know Lockhart instead."
"They really admire Lockhart."
"What about you?"
"I'll pass."
"You really don't like Lockhart, do you?" Albert suddenly remembered something, "Oh right, you're a natural Legilimens. Lockhart doesn't have any secrets from you."
"The weekly play sessions are quite interesting," Isabelle's expression turned subtle, "But his teaching skills for Dark Arts Defense are terrible. He's not suitable to be a professor."
"Let me tell you..."
Albert shared Lockhart's glorious deeds with Isabelle, leaving her in stitches.
"No wonder the professors at the school don't seem to like him."
Isabelle was also puzzled as to why Dumbledore invited Lockhart to teach Dark Arts Defense, a decision that had truly wronged the fifth and seventh-year students.
The two of them spent several hours together before using the Time-Turner to return to the past.
One could only imagine the expression on Professor McGonagall's face if she found out that Albert was using the Time-Turner to make time for dates.
...
"Her name is Quirinus Quirrell, a third-year student in Slytherin,"
In the evening, Lee Jordan returned with accurate information about Miss Quirinus, "That Miss Quirinus once boasted that she had a way to make you dump Isabelle and confess your love to her."
"I'm suddenly quite curious to see what would happen if she sent me another batch of chocolates laced with a Love Potion," Albert said softly.
"What are you planning to do?" Fred and George immediately asked, sensing that Albert was up to something.
"To give Miss Quirinus an unexpected surprise," Albert said with a hint of regret, "It's just a pity that the chocolate with the Love Potion has already been eaten by Lee Jordan."
"It's not finished yet, I still have some here," Lee Jordan suddenly pulled out a half-eaten chocolate frog from his pocket.
"I found this in my coat pocket earlier," Lee Jordan's expression turned strange, "Now, tell me your plan."
"I thought you liked Miss Quirinus," George mumbled.
The four of them huddled together, whispering and discussing who they should make fall for Miss Quirinus Quirrell.
