Return of Salazar Slytherin

75- Hagrid’s Little Secret

Daphne felt like she was in a dream. She just asked casually, but who would have thought that Rhys would actually agree to take her there?!

If she could get that wand... Daphne couldn't help but start to fantasize.

"But don't have too high expectations. A wand is just a wand after all. What will happen in the end depends on the wizard who holds the wand." Rhys felt that Daphne seemed to have overestimated the role of the wand. What she had in mind was not a wand, but a wishing machine.

"Now that the small talk is over, it's time for you to continue your preparations!" Rhys's two words brought Daphne back to reality from her fantasy.

She began to continue to prepare the Polyjuice Potion.

While Daphne was struggling with the bicorn horn, Rhys narrowed his eyes and thought about the three Deathly Hallows that Daphne had just mentioned. He had never seen the Elder Wand or the Resurrection Stone, but didn't he have seen the Invisibility Cloak?!

"Daphne, do you know where Potter came from?" He planned to ask Daphne before checking the files.

Daphne recalled her father's introduction to Harry's family.

"The Potter family had been settled in Godric's Hollow before that incident. Later... you know, Harry was raised by his Muggle aunt until he was eleven years old."

"Godric's Hollow?" Suddenly hearing a familiar name here, Rhys felt a little sad. That was where Godric was born. Whether Godric's Hollow was named after Godric Gryffindor or Godric Gryffindor was named Godric because of the valley, even he didn't know. This was already an unverifiable history.

I don't know if that Potter is a descendant of Gryffindor, maybe? It's normal for a long-standing magic family to have some relationship.

"Why are you talking about him suddenly?" Daphne felt a little strange because of the jumpiness of the topic.

"Don't you think that Harry's invisibility cloak fits the description of the invisibility cloak in The Deathly Hallows?"

"Not really?"

"But his invisibility cloak is indeed unusual, isn't it?"

"But the story of the three brothers is just a legend."

"Legends always have prototypes, don't they?" Rhys has decided to investigate Harry's life experience.

...

At the end of the Christmas holiday, Fred and George were finally released and regained their freedom. Professor McGonagall was very "generous" and gave them a day to "breathe fresh air".

The twins were very angry about the Christmas holiday being ruined by detention. They spent some time to find out the real reason for their detention - Snape's storage room was robbed and many precious potions were lost.

After hearing this news, the angry twins suddenly calmed down. In their own words, "If two weeks of detention can cause Snape to lose one-third of his potion ingredients, then please put me in detention for two months. I am really uneasy that such a good thing can happen after only one and a half months of detention."

Although the little wizards of Gryffindor were very happy after hearing about Snape's experience, they still made sufficient preparations before the first potion class after the start of school.

If he didn't take out his anger on the Gryffindor students when he was angry, would he still be Snape?

Surprisingly, Snape didn't really make things difficult for the Gryffindor students, as if his potion storage room had not been robbed.

This made Fred and George confused: Did Snape's brain shutdown because of anger?

Daphne's plan to make the Polyjuice Potion was proceeding in an orderly manner. Even if there was any mistake in the middle, Rhys could save it with him watching, so the overall progress was relatively smooth. In the process of making the potion, she even had time to learn the Disillusionment Charm from Rhys.   

On the twenty-first day, Daphne's polyjuice potion was finally ready.

Looking at the thick potion, Rhys nodded with satisfaction. He took out a small glass, dispensed a cup of polyjuice potion, and added a strand of his hair into it.

The potion made a loud noise, like a pot of boiling water, and it was bubbling vigorously. A second later, it turned into a cup of silver liquid with a metallic luster.

"Please." Rhys handed the cup to Daphne.

Taking the cup, Daphne drank the polyjuice potion in it and shuddered.

She felt that the potion in the cup tasted like a cup of iced mint water.

The polyjuice potion took effect very quickly.

Bubbles began to appear on Daphne's fair skin like hot wax. As her hair became shorter, the color was also changing...

Soon, two Rhys appeared in the secret chamber.

"Congratulations, your potion was successfully prepared." Rhys clapped his hands lightly to show encouragement.

A young witch who can make a polyjuice potion at this age should be proud of it, even if she is being guided by me.

Daphne's transformation also shows that her body has really turned into Rhys' body.

Daphne, who has become Rhys, looks at her hands, then lifts her feet and looks at her heels, as if she is extremely curious about everything that happens to her. This is indeed a novel experience for her.

After wandering in the secret room for half an hour, Daphne turned back to her own appearance.

"The amount of potion you take will affect your transformation time. You really need to pay attention to this. And this is the remaining of your polyjuice potion. Take it." Rhys poured the remaining polyjuice potion that Daphne had used into a large jar and handed it to her.

"Eh? Can I keep it?!" Daphne was quite surprised.

She knew very well that it contained extremely precious magic ingredients. To put it bluntly, if this potion is put on the market, the money earned will definitely fill up this jar.

"Of course, keep it safe."

After the two left the secret chamber, Rhys went straight to the library. He needed to investigate the legend of the Potter family and the three Deathly Hallows.

While searching for information, he passed by the school's gamekeeper, Rubeus Hagrid. Rhys noticed that the gamekeeper was holding several books in his arms.

After noticing Rhys's gaze, Hagrid covered the books in his arms with his moleskin coat.

Hmm?

This suspicious action piqued Rhys's interest.

He remembered that he had just glimpsed that the outermost book was called "A Guide to Raising Dragons", so it was obvious what the gamekeeper wanted to do.

Raising dragons seems to be illegal now, but Rhys didn't care, because in his time, it was still a legal operation, and some young wizards at Hogwarts would even bring their pet dragons to school.

This is why the school later stipulated that only owls, cats, and toads were allowed to come to school.
