I can enter Hogwarts in the last days

Chapter 335 The gathering of the potion team

Although Ian had made up his mind to find Grindelwald, he was not in a hurry. He had to at least spend the day, or spend the afternoon at a party.

The fungus potion research team has been established for more than half a year, and what needs to be done has been completed.

Moreover, the group members are all contemporary potion masters. Even if they don’t know each other, they have known each other for a long time.

This afternoon, it was a private gathering.

The organizer is the former head of Slytherin and the famous collector: Horace Slughorn.

He is the old man in the original work who smiles all day long and has a body like a walrus.

Slughorn has a very unusual hobby, that is collecting.

Others like to collect rare items or antiques, but Slughorn likes to collect talents.

In the decades since he became the Head of Slytherin, he has collected countless famous characters including Voldemort, Lily Evans, Snape, etc.

In fact, when it comes to Slughorn's collection, there is no ulterior purpose, it is purely for show.

It's ridiculous to think about it. Slughorn worked so hard to do all this. After establishing connections, he didn't run the business or ask for help. The purpose was just to show off and let others see that he could meet countless outstanding talents.

It's such a simple and interesting hobby.

Of course, today's gathering probably has the same purpose.

Ian has recently joined the Potions Team. Although he has only participated in a few discussions, he still cannot escape Slughorn's eyes.

No, after one or two chats, the invitation to the small party has been sent today.

Perhaps in order to create an atmosphere of familiarity, Slughorn not only set the place at the Three Broomsticks in Hogsmeade.

Snape was also invited to accompany them, and the nature of the party was directly designated as a communication between friends.

Ian is not averse to this kind of gathering. Including Slughorn, the two people attending the party are top-notch, and they are all real contemporary potion masters.

There is no harm in communicating with such people.

……

at dusk.

Ian came to Hogsmeade as promised. Three years later, not much has changed here. It is still as peaceful as before.

At 7 o'clock sharp, Ian pushed open the door of Broomstick.

After walking into the bar, he was surprised to find that Belby was also there. He sincerely admired the master who invented the Wolfsbane potion and was the first to use bacterial liquid to improve the potion.

"Ha, Ian! Come here quickly." Slughorn stood up and greeted warmly, "We are discussing the future direction of potions."

"Then I came at the right time, otherwise I would have missed such an exciting discussion." Ian chuckled.

He knew that when dealing with Slughorn, he had to show some enthusiasm. If he was too polite, he would be considered disrespectful by the other party.

After sitting down, Ian first nodded to Snape, and after receiving a response, he then looked at Damocles Belby beside him.

"I didn't expect Mr. Belby to come too. The regulations on bacterial liquid improvement you proposed at the last discussion meeting are still fresh in my memory."

Hearing this, Belby smiled bitterly and said, "That's why I'm here today. The audience for Wolfsbane Potion is still too narrow."

At this time, Slughorn changed the topic and said: "Before the discussion, I suggest that everyone have a drink first. Relaxation and work will never conflict."

Regarding this proposal, even Snape, who had always been expressionless, nodded slightly and picked up the wine glass on the table.

<divclass="contentadv">But in Ian's opinion, Snape's behavior was a bit like drinking to drown his sorrows.

After all, photos of women dressed in clothes have inevitably spread in Hogwarts. Even if he is the dean of Slytherin, he cannot effectively prevent it from spreading. After all, the dean's power is not powerful enough to forcibly ban something.

After a brief exchange of greetings, several people put down their wine glasses.

"My latest goal is palliatives..." Belby was the first to speak up.

Of course, this is also the tradition of the potion group. Everyone takes turns to propose topics and then discuss them collectively. Although they are all potion masters, everyone still sees the problem from a very different perspective.

It is precisely this difference that after discussion, the problem can often be solved. Even if it cannot be solved, new ideas and plans will be obtained.

"Bacterial fluid cannot dissolve moonstone powder." Snape pointedly pointed out the problem.

When Ian heard this, he nodded slightly. Bacteria liquid cannot be mixed with mineral materials. This is a view that everyone has long understood.

He is no stranger to demulcents. As part of the O.wl.S exam, its function is to calm and soothe anxious emotions. It is self-evident that this kind of potion is widely used. It seems that Belby chose this potion after careful consideration. result.

As a veteran potion master, Belby obviously knew that the bacterial liquid could not dissolve the ore, but he was prepared. After a slight pause, he said:

"I know, but now I have a guess. Is it possible to use bacterial liquid to cultivate hellebore in advance, so that the hellebore syrup collected later can be perfectly blended with moonstone powder..."

"Herbology?" Snape also fell into a brief silence, seeming to be thinking about the feasibility of this plan.

"We cannot guarantee whether the hellebores produced in the later period will be qualified." Slughorn promptly added.

"Cultivation of herbal medicines with bacterial liquid will produce great variations, unless there is a master of herbal medicine..." Ian also expressed his opinion.

But then he came to his senses and understood Belby's intentions. His feelings were plotted against Hogwarts.

No wonder he would parachute into Slughorn's party midway to discuss whether potions were fake and finding a master of herbology was real.

Speaking of herbalism masters, they are rarer and more precious than potions masters, not because it is difficult, but because it is too easy to get started.

It is precisely because of this that many people stop at it.

The purpose of herbal medicine is nothing more than to grow and cultivate qualified plants, and then sell the finished herbal medicines to obtain corresponding profits.

These skills of cultivating herbal medicines can be easily mastered with a little learning.

Therefore, no one would stupidly bury themselves in the greenhouse all day long, delving into these meaningless knowledge.

Currently, the only known T0-level Herbology Master is the Head of Hufflepuff: Professor Pomona Sprout.

"Pomona and I are not familiar with each other!" Snape took the lead in stating his position. As for whether this statement was true or not, only he knew.

Sure enough, no one here was stupid. After thinking for a while, everyone understood Belby's intention.

Slughorn did not refuse immediately. After pondering for a moment, he said:

"I can try! But you know, when I was at Hogwarts, I never paid much attention to Miss Sprout."

Ian knew that Slughorn was telling the truth. After all, herbalism was all about accumulation.

This kind of subject that requires a lot of perseverance is destined to not perform very well at the beginning. It is normal for Slughorn not to pay attention to it.

"I can also ask Professor Sprout for you." Ian also made a promise.

He doesn't care about fame and fortune, but focuses on the influence behind this matter. If the bacterial liquid can really cultivate herbal medicine...

It is conceivable that bacterial liquid will inevitably become a hot food.

Fungi invade the HP world?This isn't an invasion, it's just a money-giving boy.
