Hogwarts: I am the White Demon King

Specialization exists in every field. In research, it's a major taboo for laymen to lead experts. To achieve practical results, the most professional person must lead the research team.

Given that the Boil Curse is a form of Dark Magic, the team leader must be extremely proficient in Dark Magic.

In this office, the person with the deepest understanding of Dark Magic isn't Sebastian, but rather Mia, who comes from a Healing background.

Therefore, Sebastian didn't take on the role of research team leader. Instead, with admirable self-awareness, he asked Mia to take the lead.

"Mia, as the leader, which direction do you think we should approach this from?"

Mia smiled at Sebastian, not answering the question directly, but instead looking at Malfoy.

As a guest professor at the St. Mungo's training program, Mia had seen all sorts of students, and Draco Malfoy was undoubtedly one of the most outstanding.

Malfoy possessed an innate intuition, enabling him to quickly grasp the principles of complex healing spells and demonstrate extraordinary precision and efficiency in practice.

Beyond his talent, Draco's passion for the profession also deeply moved Mia. In class, he was always focused and engaged, taking meticulous notes, and demonstrating rare patience and perseverance during experiments.

Whether practicing healing spells or analyzing the complex causes of ailments, he always strived for perfection.

And in his free time, he often proactively sought guidance from Mia, even spending a great deal of time poring over extra literature to expand his knowledge base.

Mia quickly realized that Draco had not chosen this path because of external expectations or family arrangements, but because he genuinely loved it and was willing to dedicate himself to it.

However, one aspect puzzled Mia: Malfoy seemed to bear some unspeakable pressure, giving him the impression that he never had enough time, always thirsting for knowledge related to Healing.

Originally, Mia thought this pressure was inflicted upon the child by the Dark Lord, but her intuition told her that the truth was not so simple.

In any case, she saw in Malfoy the makings of a healer with boundless potential.

More importantly, after learning the basics of healing, Malfoy began to focus more on the research and treatment of Dark Magic, a trait that reminded Mia of herself as a student.

Therefore, she wanted to guide and nurture this student with all her might, doing her best to unlock Malfoy's talent.

"Draco," Mia asked softly, "if you were in charge, where do you think we should start?"

Seeing Mia's reaction, Sebastian immediately understood what she was thinking, so he smiled and looked at Malfoy with encouraging eyes.

For a moment, Malfoy was touched. He could feel Mr. and Mrs. Swanoff's intention to nurture him.

However, despite feeling touched, he was still a little at a loss.

Compared to the two people in front of him, he was just a small student. To have him lead the discussion felt a bit like showing off his axe in front of Lu Ban, the master carpenter.

However, under their encouraging gazes, he plucked up his courage and spoke.

"I think the key is the Boil Curse itself. No matter what, it's still Dark Magic. If it's used rashly on Squibs, it will only cause them to die in agony."

"So, the first step should be to analyze the magical principles of the Boil Curse, studying the specific mechanism by which it accelerates the magic circulation, including the spell's structure, the frequency of magical fluctuations, and the impact on the magic structure of the cursed subject. Then, we need to find a way to modify the spell, to make it controllable."

The more Malfoy spoke, the smoother it became, and he began to proactively share the thoughts in his mind.

"During the process of modifying the spell, we need to experiment constantly to know the results. Of course, we can't rashly use Squibs as test subjects, but should start with magical creatures that possess magic."

Thinking about the diverse range of magical creatures, he continued, "As for magical creatures, we can choose Flobberworms and Knarls, these two Class X creatures."

"No," Malfoy quickly corrected himself, "we can choose Ghouls and Goblins, these Class XX creatures. Their body structures are more similar to humans, and using them for experiments should yield more obvious results."

"After starting the experiments, we need to monitor the impact of the improved spell on the test subjects in real time, recording the stability of their magic flow, the degree of boiling, and any adverse effects."

"During this process, we continue to optimize the structure of the Boil Curse step by step, to reduce potential harm and control the boiling effect within an appropriate range."

"Only after confirming safety and stability, can we recruit Squib volunteers to conduct the most critical human trials."

Good lad, not bad at all. The experimental steps are very clear. It seems he's been working hard in private. He's indeed a good prospect for becoming a Healer and researcher.

Sebastian nodded, giving Malfoy a thumbs up.

At this point, Malfoy's expression became embarrassed again: "These are all just theories, and they're too vague to be of any help in improving the Boil Curse."

"Don't be so self-deprecating, Draco, you're already doing very well," Mia said gently, "Clear experimental steps are the beginning of success."

"Also, if you have improvement plans, you can boldly express them, even if they are wild guesses, it doesn't matter."

"This..." Malfoy thought for a moment, hesitantly saying, "This curse has a counter-curse used for treatment, perhaps we can start with the counter-curse?"

"Or, we can reduce our malice when casting the curse, to achieve the purpose of reducing the curse's effect."

Encouraged by Mia and Sebastian, Malfoy kept voicing the guesses in his mind. He even felt that some of his guesses were somewhat fanciful, but Mia and Sebastian didn't say much, but patiently listened to his thoughts.

Sebastian even took out a Quick-Quotes Quill to help Malfoy record all his ideas.

After Malfoy stopped, Mia first helped Malfoy eliminate a few incorrect options from a professional perspective. As the team leader, she had to control the experiments.

Then she patiently explained the reasoning behind them to Malfoy. After Malfoy understood, she smiled and said.

"What are we waiting for? Let's start analyzing the basic model of the Boil Curse."

Because the chosen research direction was very accurate, the team made unexpected progress in the initial exploration phase.

From the deconstruction of the spell structure to the analysis of the characteristics of magic flow, all experimental links were advanced in an orderly manner.

Mia and Sebastian, as the backbone of the team, effectively solved the complex problems encountered in the research with their profound professional knowledge and accurate judgment, ensuring that the project always moved in the right direction.

Of course, in this process, many goblins "bravely" sacrificed their lives for the great magic curse experiment.

Three months passed in a flash. Thanks to the selfless dedication of the goblins and the joint efforts of Sebastian, Mia and Malfoy, the Boil Curse had completed its initial modification work.

The effect of the spell was readjusted to a gentle magic activation spell, which could effectively promote magic flow without causing excessive stimulation.

The research team compiled a complete set of experimental plans, covering the best intensity and frequency of spell casting, and the matching conditioning potions to regulate the body.

The next crucial step was to find suitable Squib individuals for clinical trials to verify the practical feasibility of the theory.
