Hogwarts: From Luna's family to god

"In addition, due to the special nature of clover itself, adding clover essence can also promote friendly relations between wizards and wands."

"These three materials..." He put down the clover essence and gathered it with the other two materials together, "they are the basis of the active potion."

"Using them as the basis, it is necessary to add additional potion materials according to the differences between the magic wood and the wand core. It should not suppress the magical properties, but also maintain a balance..."

Vizet asked: "Mr. Ollivander, if the unicorn tail hair is used as the wand core, can verbena be added? Its properties are purification, protection and healing."

"That's right !” Ollivander smiled and nodded with great satisfaction, “Heather, sage, rowan, etc. are all usable potion materials.”

“Harmony is the eternal pursuit of making a wand, and this is also the special feature of the Magic Eye. You can directly observe the wand to make it more harmonious.”

“The wand I plan to make this time will use willow and unicorn tail hair. Let’s take it as an example and make the wand as soon as possible before school starts!”

Originally, Ollivander thought that Vizet only used his spare time to learn how to identify various herbs and process them from Snape, the potion master.

When he guided Vizet to brew active potions, he found that Vizet could also bring him many surprises in brewing potions.

Brewing potions is not an easy task. Not only does it require enduring boredom, but it also requires sufficient mental concentration.

Especially when brewing active potions, in order to ensure the activity as much as possible, you must be more alert when brewing.

Ollivander had actually prepared more than ten portions of materials to deal with possible losses.

According to his expected goal, as long as Vizet could use ten portions of materials to successfully brew a pot of active potion, it would be considered a talent.

When Vizet picked up the tools and started to process the potion materials, Ollivander felt that things were not that simple.

Vizet's movements were very skillful, the process was very quiet, and the tools rarely came into contact with the chopping board.

This shows that when he was processing the potion materials, his strength was very measured and would not cause excessive loss of the potion materials.

Watching Vizet process the potion materials is a soothing process.

He cut the materials into suitable and equal sizes, and then classified them into different containers. The entire table remained orderly and his movements were pleasing to the eye.

Ollivander glanced at the time. It took Vizet less than ten minutes to process one portion of the materials.

"Mr. Ollivander, the remaining materials..."

"You continue to process them! They are all needed."

"Okay!" Vizet maintained his skillful movements and continued to process the remaining materials.

Ollivander watched from the side, and was even more surprised.

After a long period of repetitive movements, Vizet was always able to keep the movements standardized, ensuring that the loss of each material was roughly the same.

After all the materials were processed, Vizet waved his wand to clean the sweat on his body, and subconsciously asked: "Snape... Mr. Ollivander, is there anything that can be improved?"

He seemed to be back in Hogwarts, receiving private lessons from Snape.

Generally, after he finished processing the materials, he would ask Snape again to see if there was anything that needed to be improved, which techniques could be improved, or which steps were processed with deviations...

"I... feel very good, whether it is loss or processing movements... very good!" Ollivander hummed.

"Vizet, you seemed to have mentioned Snape just now... When you were at Hogwarts, after you finished processing the potion materials, did Snape provide suggestions for improvement?"

"In the beginning, Professor Snape would take the initiative to correct mistakes." Vizet nodded, "He spoke less later."

"So after I finished processing the materials, I would subconsciously ask one more question, and then continue to improve under the guidance of Professor Snape."

Olivander was a little surprised, "Did he teach you in this way?"

Vizet nodded: "Yes."

"The hawthorn wand... is a little twisted..." Ollivander murmured: "No wonder... after all, he is so talented..."

Chapter 59 Potion with Soul Properties

Snape's teaching method of correcting details has surpassed the teaching level of Hogwarts.

If it were placed in the Middle Ages, this would be considered as teaching everything he knew.

Although the teaching is strict, there is a chance to get in touch with the deepest secrets of magic.

Thinking of this, Ollivander shook his head and smiled, "I am... not doing the same thing now?"

Vizet asked tentatively: "Mr. Ollivander, should I continue? Start brewing the active potion? The materials have been processed."

Olivander originally wanted to let Vizet take a break, but after seeing this eager expression, he also had some expectations in his heart, wanting to see how far Vizet can go.

If the first brewing of the potion failed, it would be natural to let Vizet take a break, and then talk to him about the importance of combining work and rest.

If the first brewing of the potion succeeded...

Olivander shook his head slightly, it seemed that he was taking it for granted.

Even if he had received Snape's strict teachings, it should not be so easy to succeed in one go...

Thinking of this, Ollivander made up his mind to leave only one set of materials on the table, and put the other materials aside to keep them fresh with a magic energy field.

After doing all this, he looked at Vizet and said, "Vizet, if I tell you the specific steps while you brew the potion, will it be too difficult?"

Vizet confirmed again, "Mr. Ollivander, do you want me to follow you?"

"Is it a bit difficult?" Ollivander coughed lightly, trying to make his tone relaxed, "If you think it's too difficult, I can demonstrate it first, and then you can do it."

"No." Vizet shook his head, "Professor Snape has tried this model before, I think I should be able to keep up."

"So Snape has also tried it..." Ollivander nodded, "Then let's start! First add three pints of dew, boil it, and then..."

Olivander directed carefully, fearing that Vizet could not keep up with his speaking speed.

He prepared more than ten sets of materials for Vizet to practice with, which was his psychological expectation for himself.

Vizet didn't know what Ollivander was thinking, his mind was on the boiling crucible.

Not only did he use the Magic Eye, but he also put in great concentration.

According to Ollivander's instructions, he added various materials, and then made corresponding adjustments according to the reaction of the materials in the crucible. The whole process was not difficult.

At least for Vizet, it was not difficult to brew this pot of active potion.

The grade of the active potion should be very high, at least at the same level as the soul soothing agent.

When the dew boiled, he added the mistletoe fruit to the crucible, and the magical properties contained in it were slowly released, rendering the dew milky white.

After skimming off the impurities on the edge of the crucible, he picked up the oak sap and poured it into the crucible.

The milky white potion emitted bursts of hot steam, and the liquid level was rising rapidly, as if it was about to overflow the crucible.

Ollivander had already reminded him, and Vizet calmly turned to a low fire, while waving his wand to calm the restless potion with magic.

When golden dots appeared on the surface of the crucible, Vizet picked up the potion materials in an orderly manner and added them one by one.

The changes in the crucible became interesting, as if he put in the raw materials that make up the rainbow, changing between red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and purple in turn...

Two hours later, the brewing of the active potion was nearing completion, and a rainbow did rise above the boiling potion.

"You control the time very well!" Ollivander couldn't help but sighed, "You actually followed every step..."

"Next, add the essence of clover, wave the wand above the crucible, turn it clockwise three times, and then counterclockwise three times..."

"Very good! Next, keep the crucible away from the flame, and use the edge of the crucible as the boundary to draw a triangle..."

When Vizet completed the last step, the sticky potion that was originally like a rainbow gradually became clear.

But in the blink of an eye, it turned into a clear and transparent potion, and there was no impurity in it.

The liquid looks colorless and tasteless, but you can feel the high vitality contained in it.

He didn't stop for several hours, and he didn't feel tired at the moment, only felt a strong joy.

Whether it was magic or potions, they always brought him this kind of special and wonderful experience.

"It succeeded in one try!" Ollivander looked happier than him, and his voice was full of joy, "It's incredible!"

He took out a crystal cup, poured the active potion into it, and picked up the potion like a wine taster appreciating fine wine.

He looked at the clear potion in front of him and couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's beautiful! The quality is better than I thought!"

"Vizet, if you are interested, you can make the active potions I need in the future."

Hearing this suggestion, Vizet said helplessly: "Mr. Ollivander, I don't have a potion master's certificate, I'm afraid I can't help you with this."

"Potion master certificate? Oh... I almost forgot this!" Ollivander reacted, "I also need an O.W.L. potion certificate..."

The magic world has strict control over the sale of potions.

Unless you are doing illegal transactions in Knockturn Alley, you need to have at least a junior potion master certificate to sell potions legally.

According to the original process, if Vizette wants to obtain relevant certification, he needs to obtain at least an O.W.L. potion certificate before he can apply.

Vizette did not dwell on this issue and thought about the brewing process just now.

As the active potion was close to completion, he used the magic eye to observe and verified his idea - there are some similarities between the active potion and the soul soothing potion.

He followed his feelings and thought about it, looking for possible connections, and finally came up with a guess...

"Mr. Ollivander, it can not only give magic wood activity, but also give the wand soul characteristics... Is this my guess, right?"

"Make the wand more soulful?" Ollivander almost lost his grip on the crystal cup, "Why do you have this idea?"

Vizet explained simply: "I have brewed soul soothing potion before, and I observed through the magic eye and found that there is a certain similarity between the two."

"So I thought about a question, the connection between the wand and the wizard may be due to this similarity-the active potion can give the wand soul characteristics."
