《Harry Potter: A Certain Hogwarts Professor Of Magic》Chapter 41 - 41 Potion
Advertisement
At 7pm, Hermione walked into Professor Hap's office on time, as she had done for the past two months.
This time, however, she felt a little nervous.
Felix looked up and smiled when he saw that our little witch looked a little restrained, "Sit down first, I had thought you would be absent for this weekend, after all you have been here for most of the week."
Hermione gathered her courage and said, "Professor, I'm sorry we followed you because we got a lead on the Chamber of Secrets and happened to find you in the Forbidden Forest ..."
Felix was somewhat taken aback, "So I became the subject of suspicion ..."
"No Professor, you are very good, we are the ones who were too sensitive," Hermione hastened to explain, "We came across a professor during the previous academic year who is a dark wizard and tried to steal a hidden magic stone from the school."
"Oh, with an experience like that, it's no wonder you guys are paranoid. Still, I would advise you that while perhaps your intentions are good, you must act within your means, and many dangers are not varied based on whether one is despicable or noble."
Hermione nodded good-naturedly.
They spent the next five thinking hours in the Thinking Room, with Felix teaching her three magic texts.
This time was one that they repeatedly compared notes over and over, without being too exhausted or learning much. Hermione even had the extra energy to continue practicing for another ten minutes when she returned to reality, and she could barely sketch out those three magical texts.
"Very brilliant." Felix couldn't help but clap his hands in praise.
If he had been in a similar position, he wouldn't have been able to outperform her without his golden finger.
But he also noticed a flaw in this young witch, the magic she had mastered always seemed to be modest in power, not fluctuating much in terms of ups and downs - which was good to a certain extent, the spellcasting was stable and once learned, it was hard to fail.
But at some points it is also a disadvantage, as she is less likely to "explode" and be able to amplify the power of a spell with her powerful emotions.

It could be fair to say that she was more suited to being a magical scholar, studying and learning magic, rather than a spellcasting wizard like Aurore.
Felix thought that perhaps when she graduated, he could ask her to become his research assistant, or - as a partner?
He couldn't be blamed for thinking this much, it was because there were too few qualified candidates available as backups, and that was what he was so unhappy with Hogwarts, and the wizarding world in general - the training methods are too sloppy, how many wizards graduate and still study magic tirelessly?
On the contrary, there was no shortage of such wizards in the black market, but the point was, would he dare to hire such a person?
If I could dominate the wizarding world ... a thought came to his mind, but it was quickly discarded, that was not his path.
"It's early, you could get back early or watch a film together?" Felix asked the young witch as he glanced back at the time, just a little past nine.
Hermione smoothed her hair, "Oh - Professor Hap?" She stammered, "I think - I'm rather curious about a certain Magic Potion and would like some kind of background knowledge."
"Magic potion?"
"Yes, you know, we learn about antidotes and burping potions and such in Potions class, but I've read in books that some magical potions, some of the more advanced ones, possess very magical effects ..."
"Indeed." Felix thought about it, it isn't a big deal. "Magic Potion, let see." He waved his wand and motioned it to tap the ring on his left index finger, and six finger-thick vials appeared in front of him.
"The field of magical potion is indeed complex and magical, and although I took Professor Snape's Advanced Class, I have to say that I'm still far from being able to master the field of Magic Potion as a whole."
Hermione was somewhat surprised that Professor Hap would hold Snape in such a high esteem?
"First one, Baruffio's Brain Elixir." Felix let the first vial on his left fly to Hermione, "It can significantly enhance the brain power of the person taking it and speed up their learning efficiency. In a way - somewhat similar to the Thinking Room."

Hermione looked at the vial in front of her, it filled with a light blue liquid, gently swirled with bright fluorescent flashes.
"Many wizards have become so addicted to the potion that they can't help themselves, and have lost the ability to think altogether because of the misuse of Baruffio's Brain Elixir." Seeing Hermione's outstretched hand tremble for a moment, he added, "But it's still okay to take it once in a while."
"Second, the Fire Protection Potion." A small vial of purple liquid flew in front of her, "Although the name isn't remarkable, it's effective against magical fire."
Hermione suddenly remembered the question Professor Snape had set during the first year quest.
It was a logical reasoning question, and one of the potions worked as a way to get through magical flames.
"Third, Felix Felicis ." A vial flew up to her, containing the least amount of potion, only a third of it, maybe two or three millilitres. But it was the prettiest - it resembled a liquid of molten gold that jumped up like swimming fish with the slightest shake of a fluid blob.
"Also known as a potion of luck, it allows the person who takes it to have all things go well, as if by magic. But misuse leads to vertigo, recklessness and arrogance ..."
"It must be very complicated to brew, right?" Hermione asked.
"Extremely complicated, it takes at least six months and one wrong step, and it can turn into a pot of poison." Felix said rather emotionally.
"Fourth one, the Wolfsbane Potion. It prevents werewolves from losing their minds after a full moon transformation, but of course, it's useless to me, merely used as a collection ..."
"Fifth, Polyjuice Potion ." Hearing this, Hermione's spirits shot up, and she stared dead at the vial that flew in front of her. "It seems you've heard of this magic potion as well?"
Hermione whispered, "Professor Snape mentioned it in class, it allows the person taking it to take the form of someone else."
"Yes, it's also a rather complex magic potion that takes a month to brew. A standard dose works for about 10 minutes to 12 hours, depending on the quality of the potion."
"What about this one?"
"Mine? Probably enough to transform one person for half an hour."
Hermione looked a little disappointed. It seemed that one still had to brew it on their own, and the question was back to square one; how were they supposed to get the professor's seal of approval and get the recipe?
Felix's explanation continued as he waved his wand and sent the last vial flying in front of her.
"The sixth one, Ecstasy. Also known as the love potion. Once taken, one will fall madly in love with the person who gives him/her the potion."
Hermione couldn't help but open her mouth wide.
"You'll realize that it's used somewhat similarly to Polyjuice Potion: polyjuice is added with someone else's hair or body tissue, thus turning them into the other person;"
"The ecstasy, on the other hand, is to add one's own hair or body tissue and give it to someone else to drink, thus making them fall in love with them."
The young witch said indignantly, "This potion is an abomination."
Felix shrugged, "Indeed, it will only give you false love, as if it were a soap bubble - like its odour, which happens to be the favourite smell of your heart."
Felix waved his wand and the cork of the vial popped out with a loud bang, "You can try the smell of it - don't worry, it's the purest form of the original liquid and not very dangerous, at least not to your sanity. "
Hermione leaned in close and sniffed gently, it smells like books, sunshine and her home in the muggle world.

Maker of Fire
On a world where magic kept civilization firmly in the bronze age, the Gods dropped an accountant and a mining engineer to start a political and industrial revolution. They wanted enlightened governance and a fast track to the iron age. They got indoor plumbing, paper airplanes, a cranky queen, and one very grumpy prophet. Dramatis Personae Aylem was a bookkeeping student when she died. The Gods reincarnated her as the greatest mage ever known, born into the ruling class of gigantic, magic-wielding humans. The Gods expect her to conquer the world and introduce double-entry accounting. Though Queen and numerical reformer, world conquest is stalled because everyone is scared of her and she doesn't like war. Emily was a retired engineer when she died. The Gods reincarnated her as one of the enslaved class of small, magicless humans. The Gods expect her to drag the world out of the bronze age. Though she's already recreated matches and wrought iron, introducing technology isn't going well because she was born a slave (oops) and having escaped, wants nothing to do with so-called "civilization." Asgotl was a whale when he died. The Gods reincarnated him as a griffin and expect him to have the same role he played in his previous life: to keep a reluctant prophet from walking off the job. If only they had remembered to tell him about it. Revised update schedule will be once a week on Saturdays, noonish Mountain Time (in North America)
