Magical Studies at Hogwarts

It was rainy and gloomy in England in early July. The old drainage facilities made the ground of Spider End Lane in the suburb of Cokeworth full of water, leaving almost no place to step.

There was a fire burning in the fireplace, and Snape was sitting on a sofa nearby, reading a book quietly.

"Bang, bang, bang"

There was a sudden knock on the glass, Snape waved his wand with a cold face, and an owl flew in like a drowned rat in the rain.There was a letter in his mouth, and a box wrapped in brown paper was clutched at his feet.

Taking the box and letter casually, pushing a box full of nuts towards the owl, Snape opened the letter directly.

The letter is not long, just over a hundred words, and can be read in the blink of an eye.Snape seemed to be greatly stimulated, and his face became paler.

He threw the letter into the fireplace nearby, opened the box with a wave of his wand, and saw a bright red rose that was as fresh as if it had just been picked.

As if to vent his anger, he crushed the flowers, took a bottle of red wine from the cabinet on the side and poured it into a cup. Then he twisted some of the crushed pieces into the red wine and drank it all in one gulp...

"Lily..."

Snape felt that his soul was being pulled out, and his whole body lost all strength. He let more than half of the glass of red wine fall to the ground, and he collapsed to the ground. Tears welled up in his eyes unknowingly.

"Potter!"

He roared heartbreakingly, and the anger that burst out startled the owl that was happily eating nuts at the side.Ignoring the delicious food in front of me, I flapped my wings and ran away from the window.

Ike didn't expect that the truth would be as he suspected, and Snape didn't expect that the truth would be so cruel.When he drank the glass of red wine mixed with red roses, the peculiar taste unlocked his dusty memories.

In June 1976, at the dinner after the OWLs exam, a glass of pumpkin juice with a strange taste...

He was sure and would always believe that he would never say the word "Mudblood" under any circumstances, especially to Lily...

Everything is clear...

Snape lay on his back, staring blankly at the chandelier on the ceiling, like a zombie until the next morning, when Snape came back to his senses.

He struggled to get up from the ground, walked slowly to the kitchen, fried himself a plate of eggs, brought it to the dining table, sat down, and ate bit by bit.

More than half an hour later, Snape finally finished breakfast.He pushed the plate to the middle of the dining table, silently went to the basement, took out a bottle from the full potion on the cabinet, wrote a note and put it in a box with the potion, and summoned the owl to let it go. Send away.

Then he waved his wand and the figure disappeared.

Ike recognized the potion as soon as he received it. It was the famous Buffy Brain Refreshing Potion, a potion that can enhance the user's brain power. Its production difficulty is almost the same as that of the Felicity Potion.There are almost no real Baffy brain-refreshing drugs on the market, and those sold are almost all abridged and castrated versions, which have a short acting time, poor effects, and serious side effects, and may even permanently damage a person's brain.

The product produced by Snape is naturally different from the defective products on the market. It has also undergone certain improvements and can permanently improve a person's brain power, but the price is only a month of confusion.

Without any hesitation, Ike drank the entire bottle of Baffy's Awakening Potion.The rarity of something like this that can permanently increase attribute points is self-evident.

It has to be said that Ike still underestimated the side effects of Bafei's brain-refreshing agent.Throughout July, Ike was in a state of unconsciousness, his reactions were much slower, and he often answered questions incorrectly.This strange behavior naturally attracted Julianne's attention, but at that time Ike could no longer explain it clearly immediately.

It took a lot of effort to stabilize Julianne, and Ike simply locked himself in the room. He didn't even get out of bed except for eating, going to the bathroom, and it wasn't until the owl delivered the book list for the new school year that the hardship ended. days.

The effect is extraordinary. Many problems that were previously unsolvable can now be solved with just a little thought. In just one week, the research on alchemy and Ravenclaw manuscripts is equivalent to the results that could only be achieved in a month.

Very significant results, at least Ike is very satisfied.

After staying quietly in the orphanage for another week, Ike said goodbye to Julianne and headed to London two weeks in advance.

The result of taking all the elective courses is that Ike's book list is much longer than that of others. In addition to the required books such as "Standard Spells Level [-]" and "Intermediate Transfiguration", there are also divination course textbooks, The number of extra purchases such as ancient magic text textbooks and magical animal protection textbooks is almost equal to the number of must-buys.

Of course, returning to the wizarding world in advance is not just for these reasons, but more importantly to have a place to make magic potions.

Throughout the summer vacation, I took Red Rose first, then Bafei Awakening Potion, and finally read alchemy, magic texts and Ravenclaw manuscripts for almost half a month. In addition, underage wizards cannot use magic outside of school. Ike simply didn't have time to finish the things he had planned before the holiday.

There is no way to sit back and have nothing.

Old Tom at the Leaky Cauldron still looks lazy, but as long as the price is right, any request can be met.After paying an extra 10 Sickles, Ike successfully got the right to make potions in the room.Old Tom even provides a gadget that absorbs the unpleasant odors from the potion-making process.

After spending half a day buying all the books for the new school year, and another half day buying enough potion materials, Ike once again locked himself in the room, and Old Tom sent people to deliver three meals a day. Go to the door.

Ike didn't plan to make any difficult potions, he only made anti-swelling agent and white essence.The former can be used to eliminate swelling caused by magic, and the latter is the most common healing potion.These two types of products are consumed in huge amounts every day at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries. Selling them to them is a sure-profit business.

Although he won't make a lot of money, stability is better than anything else for Ike.

The raw materials cost Ike 57 Galleons and sold for 112 Galleons. The net profit was 55 Galleons in half a month. This salary is already higher than that of many Ministry of Magic staff.

Of course, there is no comparison with officials, let alone those professors at Hogwarts.

But it was enough, plus Hogwarts' fixed annual scholarship, excluding the money to buy textbooks, plus an owl that he finally made up his mind to buy, Ike still had dozens of galleons in balance.

Owls are very common, the cheapest ones, dull and can stay on the shelf for a whole day if they don't call.

In fact, even the owl Ike didn't want to buy it at first. It was really impossible for the nightingale to complete the great task of delivering letters and express delivery.The little guy had a very bad temper. He couldn't do it himself and was angry that Ike specially added new members for this purpose.

Yes, Nightingale has been following Ike and was named Ellie by him.

As for the owl, it's called Skye.

A proper naming waste...
