Felix walked down the spiral stairs, his hands were empty, he always did not carry books and test papers like other professors.

He heard Lupin's voice as he passed through the first floor castle administrator's office.

"...I'm sorry, I'm really troubled. If you can find it, please let me know."

Lupin's thin figure came out of the office and passed by Felix, "Hello, Professor Happ." He said with a smile.

"Hello, Professor Lupin, you look good." Felix replied.

When he left, Felix knocked on the door of Felch's office, "Mr. Felch, are you here?" The door was pushed open, Felch's face emerged from the shadows, and a pair of goldfish eyes stared at him.

"It was Professor Hepp, I thought..." He muttered, and moved the door away, and Felix followed behind, a rather small room next to the foyer of the castle.

There are no windows in the room, and even during the day, it looks dim and cramped. The only light source is a green lantern hanging from the ceiling. There are many wooden filing cabinets lined by the walls around it, some of which are already stuffed, and the corners of the yellow and old parchment paper pop out from the cracks.

There were several chairs in the office, but Felix had no idea of ​​sitting down. He secretly cast a curse of air freshness on himself, finally getting rid of the ubiquitous fishy smell.

Felix looked at each other with a skinny cat on the table. Its eyes were big and bulging and shiny.

"She looks very human," Felix said.

Felch was very happy that he used the word "her", and his chin trembled and said, "You can never find a smarter cat than her anymore. If I want me to say that it is more like a human, even better than a human... At least she will not violate the school rules and will help you."

Felix listened patiently to him how Mrs. Loris was patrolling the corridor alone, until Felch was breathless, he continued, "But she looked a little malnourished."

Felch was hoarse and seemed to have never asked this question. He stammered: "She was a little picky in food. I advised her, but she only ate the fried fish I made..."

"I have some nutritional agents here, and the formula is very clever, and the key is that there is no harm." Felix said, brushing his right hand over the ring on his left hand, and a square wooden box appeared in his hand.

He opened the lid, glanced at it slightly, and said with regret: "Only half is left..."

Felch said hesitantly, "Loris doesn't necessarily like it--" He took out a small glass bottle from the square wooden box and opened the stopper. A strange fragrance spread, diluting the fishy smell in the room.

Mrs. Loris immediately raised her head and stared at the glass bottle, showing a longing expression.

But it didn't move, but looked up at Felch, who said, "It's okay, Loris, drink it."

The cat immediately let out a creeping cry, jumped off the table, ran quickly to the owner, stuck out his tongue and licked the bright red liquid in the bottle, until he licked the last drop, and stretched his waist satisfied and made a "purr" sound.

Felch's eyes were glittering strangely, and he couldn't help but say, "Loris has never been like this. She disdains the tonic at the pet store."

Felix explained with a smile: "The formula comes from a potion master who won the Merlin Class II Medal. He was left by Professor Belby. Although he was just making it casually, the effect must be far more than the products on the market."

“That recipe—”

"I can give you the configuration method is very simple, and you don't even need to use a magic wand, but you may use some dragon blood."

"This is nothing," Felch said quickly.

"Do you have parchment here?"

"Yes-" Felch quickly opened the drawer and turned out a stack of blank parchment paper. Felix hooked his fingers and let a piece of parchment float in front of him. As he watched, a series of smooth letters automatically appeared on the paper.

During this process, Felch kept staring at the parchment in the air, his hands twisted together with protruding joints. Felix asked casually: "By the way, I just saw Professor Lupin."

"Yes." Felch repeated unconsciously.

"He comes here-"

"Ask for confiscated things," Felch said, his eyes still staring at the parchment. "Professor Hepp, don't blame me for being sowed... He is not a good person."

"Why do you say that?"

Felch woke up, he looked at the door vigilantly, and lowered his voice: "He was not honest when he was in school, and he loved to violate school rules... Of course, he was not as good as his two friends, but I can recognize him, he was the one who came up with a bad idea."

He looked at Felix and complimented: "Unlike you, you were a decent person when you were in school-"

Felix said with some amusement, "I have made a lot of trouble when I was in school."

Felch said sly: "Different—sir, different, you never cause trouble to others unless you get to you first," he pointed to the filing cabinet beside the wall, "there is a drawer that belongs to them-Lupin and his interesting friends, if Hogwarts hadn't abolished corporal punishment..."

He murmured dissatisfiedly, "Mr. Pringer has caught up with a good time, unlike me, oh, Pringer is the former castle administrator, he left many tools, and I keep them all."

Felix looked at the carefully wiped iron chains hanging on the wall and shook his head. It made sense that the little wizards disliked Felch. He knew for a long time that Felch liked to punish students, and even if physical punishment was abolished, the mental punishment was still preserved.

And Felch was trying every means to innovate and carry forward this skill.

"Mr. Felch, you just said that Professor Lupin came here to ask for his stuff-"

"Yes, more than ten years ago, he wandered around with his friends. I checked them and found a suspicious, layered parchment from them. I suspected that there was a secret hidden in it, so I confiscated it."

Felch said, half of his face twitching, "You don't know how bad they are. After the parchment was confiscated, they still looked indifferent," he said viciously: "They must think that I can't crack the secrets above and will throw them away so that they can pick them up secretly, but - I didn't, but kept them all the time, locked in the drawer."

"What about that parchment now? Is it for Professor Lupin?" Felix asked curiously.

"...lost," Felch said in a dismay: "I don't remember when it was lost, maybe they took it away themselves."

"But what you said, Professor Lupin came here to ask for it..."

"Who knows, maybe his friend didn't tell him, or the other little wizards stole it from me over the years." Felch said with regret.

The parchment in the air fell down, and Felix handed the recipe to Felch, "Please hold it away."

"Thank you, thank you-"

"You're welcome, Mr. Felch, I got what I wanted, too."
