Hogwarts: Harley from The Witch Way

I'm sorry to trouble you. Fu Rong sat on the chair, crossed her hands on her thighs, and said apologetically.

It's okay, it's boring to always huddle in the room and study potions, Harry sat leisurely on the edge of the bed, propping his reclining body with his hands,

Did you bring the quilt? Or should I ask the front desk for another bed?

We brought it ourselves. Furong patted her pocket, apparently it wasn't as small as it looked.

Harry raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling a little regretful in his heart.

After all, the area of ​​the thin quilt provided by the bar is still very large, it is no problem to cover the whole bed, and it can be shared by three people.

But Harry didn't show it, just pulled out the parchment that Professor Snape gave him from his pocket:

Fu Rong, have you read the content of the second round?

My father only told me the general content. After all, the details will change every year, and I need to wait for the organizer to notify me.

I was going to study the specific content tonight, but Gabriel insisted on coming, so I will wait until tomorrow.

Fu Rong shook her head, and shifted her gaze to the parchment, Is the latest game content in your hand?

Of course. Harry unrolled the parchment and beckoned Fleur to sit over.

The contestants set off at eight o'clock in the morning and entered the magic garden to collect potion ingredients.

After collecting enough raw materials, the contestants return to the starting point and use the raw materials they found to brew a potion.

While watching, Furong read out in a low voice,

There is no limit to the time for collecting raw materials and the specific time for brewing the potion, as long as the final total time does not exceed ten hours.

The contestants will make a comprehensive consideration of various factors to determine the champion.

This game is very difficult! It is a great test of the comprehensive strength of the players.

Fu Rong frowned, her expression was not very good-looking, and Harry also showed a thoughtful look on her face.

The two of them were ice-snow smart, so they naturally saw the difficulty of the second round.

In the past, the competition basically started at 8 o'clock in the morning, providing players with six hours to collect materials.

After the players return, they need to put the materials in their place, and then the players can get a rest time of one and a half hours.

From 3:30 to 5:30 in the afternoon, the contestants will have two hours to brew the potion.

In the end, the referee will make a comprehensive score based on various factors such as potion difficulty, potion quality, and events used to collect materials.

The result of the game will come out at six o'clock and determine the final champion.

This time, although the total time was as long as ten hours, and there was no specific time required to complete each task, it was a bigger test.

Because this time I missed a rest time of one and a half hours, the most critical rest time.

On the whole, just the first task, collecting materials, is not an easy job to complete.

The magic garden is the largest provider of potion materials in the world of magic, and it collects almost all potions that are known in the magic world and have not yet become extinct.

Even the Yanling grass living in the crater of Mount Fuji in Japan or the ice epiphyllum in the hollow under the ice of Antarctica can be found in the magic garden.

In order to achieve this arduous task, different areas have been opened up in the magic garden to create different environments.

Thunderstorms, volcanoes, polar regions, swamps, tropical rainforests... All kinds of harsh environments exist in this magic garden.

Before coming to participate in the competition, Harry was shocked when he heard Professor Slughorn's introduction to the magic garden. After all, it doesn't look like the current wizards can do it.

Among other things, the ice epiphyllum in the hollow under the Antarctic ice layer, the average demigod may not be able to obtain complete and fresh seeds.

Not to mention creating a corresponding environment in the magic garden and maintaining it for it to grow.

But Nicole answered Harry's question, because the magic garden itself is also a legacy of ancient wizards.

Enchanted gardens have existed thousands of years ago and provided materials to wizards in large quantities.

But later, for unknown reasons, the magic garden was blocked by wizards.

Not long after the establishment of the Extraordinary Pharmacist Association, the magic that blocked the magic garden disappeared, allowing this treasure to appear in front of everyone.

Although up to now, the scale of the magic garden has been reduced to less than one percent, and the rare magic plants in it that are particularly rare and grow in harsh environments have basically died.

But for today's wizards, this is still a huge fortune.

And the potion masters and herb masters in the Extraordinary Pharmacist Association kept transplanting potions to the garden to replenish the depleted magic power, and hired Nico to re-block it.

And looking for the materials you need in such a huge garden is obviously a comprehensive consideration of the players' knowledge, physical strength, logic and other abilities.

After all, the park will only provide an approximate map of the environment, and will not provide the specific distribution of potion raw materials, nor will it provide transportation items.

Players need to determine the orientation of the materials they need, formulate a reasonable route, and rely on themselves to pick the materials.

After finding enough materials, the organizers did not leave time for the players to rest.

Without this crucial hour and a half, the players had to finish brewing the potion under the condition of exhaustion and poor condition.

After all, if you choose to use the game time to rest, and other players choose to brew potions, then there is a high probability that he can finish earlier and get higher scores.

As for the specific choice of potion, there are still more points to consider.

That's why Fu Rong said that the soaring overall difficulty of the second round of the competition is the biggest test of the students' overall quality.

Of course, Harry also saw a few very stable and safe methods, but after choosing this strategy, the score probably won't be particularly high.

Don't think about it, the organizer can't leave unfinished tasks. I can think of at least two solutions now.

You talk to Monsieur Delacour tomorrow, and he's sure to be able to suggest more.

Harry believed in Mr. Delacour's knowledge, so he didn't speak his mind hastily.

Fu Rong wanted to talk to Harry again, but the two of them suddenly felt a weight on their backs, and a soft body pressed against them.

Gabriel didn't know when she ran to the bed, half-kneeling behind the two of them, holding Harry and Fleur's shoulders with both hands, trying to read the contents of the parchment through the gap between their heads.

Gabriel! Furong was obviously angry, and shouted angrily in a low voice, Pay attention to your manners! Did Mom and Dad usually teach you that!

Gabriel whimpered in fright, retracted her head, and knelt on the bed neatly, like a frightened bird, pitiful and helpless.

Halle smiled and pinched Gabriel's cheeks: The sisters are talking about business, talking about the second round.

If you're curious, you can ask your dad. He knows the specific content, but he doesn't know whether he is willing to tell you.

That's still not enough. Gabriel's voice was not much louder than a mosquito, obviously a little scared of Mr. Delacour.

Sorry, usually my father is very strict with her, so she starts to be mischievous as soon as she is not restrained.

It's okay, Harry shook his head, There is a bathroom over there, do you need to take a shower? I think it's getting late, and I have to get up early tomorrow to prepare for the game.
