Hogwarts: Harry's Path to Witches

Chapter 106: Harley who can drink a thousand glasses of wine

After seeing Harry, Professor Dumbledore greeted him with a smile:

"Harry, Hermione, are you here? Come and sit, everyone will sit together today.

After all, there are so many people in the castle now, and it is really stupid to divide them into different colleges. "

The two sat down next to Professor Dumbledore. Professor Dumbledore also smiled and showed off his brand new woolen sweater:

"Harry, your craftsmanship is quite good! It must have taken a lot of effort."

"No." Harley's face turned slightly red, but she lowered her head to hide it.

After a while, Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape also arrived.

Professor Snape also deliberately wore the silver scarf he had just received, and was unwilling to take it off even though the auditorium was very warm.

"This scarf is so beautiful. It suits your temperament very well." Malfoy said loudly. He was one of the few people in Slytherin who did not go home.

Professor Snape nodded without saying anything in response.

It was approaching meal time, and almost everyone in the castle had arrived. Most of the elective teachers who usually didn't show up much came to attend this Christmas banquet.

"It's a pity that Sybil didn't come. I was planning to open a bottle of sherry." Dumbledore said with some regret.

The lunch was sumptuous, and although Professor Dumbledore did not open sherry, he opened several bottles of mead.

Although Professor McGonagall stated that there were students present, Professor Dumbledore should not drink.

But he still insisted on drinking a glass and poured a glass in the direction of the European continent.

The glass of wine quickly evaporated in the air and disappeared without a trace.

Dumbledore did not suppress his drunkenness and allowed the alcohol to take over, making the old man's face turn red with a look of memories.

And Harley also took the opportunity to taste a little of this mead made with magic. It tastes quite good, much better than the wine at noble banquets.

So until Professor McGonagall found out, Harry almost drank the bottle of mead.

"Harry!" Professor McGonagall was a little angry.

However, considering that it was Christmas, she did not let out a lion's roar, but suppressed her voice and whispered:

"You're only twelve years old! How can you drink!"

Professor Snape turned his eyes sharply, and after hearing Professor McGonagall's words clearly, he turned his murderous eyes on Professor Dumbledore.

"It's okay, Professor McGonagall." Harry felt a little drunk. After all, she didn't use magic to suppress the alcohol.

However, Harry's drinking capacity has always been very good, and he always drank a thousand glasses at the banquet, which made the nobles from all walks of life angry.

This bottle of mead was nothing to her.

The two Hufflepuff first-year students who had not left looked at their senior sister in awe as they drank the mead, and made a sound of exclamation.

Professor McGonagall saw that Harry was still conscious, and considering that today was Christmas, she didn't say anything more.

After enjoying the sumptuous Christmas banquet, Harry decided to take a vacation and go out to the castle for a walk.

But before that, she had to say a few words to Professor Snape.

"Professor, Merry Christmas!" Harry ran briskly to Professor Snape, with her hands behind her back.

"Do you like the scarf I knitted for you?"

"Thank you very much, Harry." Professor Snape had a rare smile on his face and shook the scarf around his neck.

"Honestly, this is much more precious than the potion materials others gave me."

Hearing that Professor Snape liked her gift, the smile on Harry's face became brighter:

"Since you like it, professor, then I can rest assured. Next time I will knit a whole set of clothes for you."

Professor Snape's eyes showed a rare hint of expectation, and he nodded slightly without saying anything.

As Harry and Hermione left the Great Hall, Harry thought in his mind:

"The Forbidden Sky Flowers are probably stable. I'll talk to the professor later. Professor Snape should provide me with a lot of Forbidden Sky Flowers.

After all, the gift I gave him was very much what he wanted, and the correct way to use this kind of flower has not been discovered in this world.

So now it's just a rare and special material, it's not expensive, I can probably buy some more.

With the Forbidden Sky Flower containing forbidden rules, it should be able to replace many materials.

Then I only need to find two more, no, those three materials, to restore sequence five. "

……

After giving herself a break on Christmas Day, Harry spent the next few days researching information about the Wizarding School Potions Championship.

According to the statement on the parchment and the information Harry read from the book, the Magic School Potions Championship is co-organized by eleven magic schools around the world and the International Federation of Wizards.

There are two rounds in the tournament, or two plus one.

In the first round, officials will give designated potions and provide corresponding materials.

Each participating magic school can send two contestants to brew the magic potion.

In the end, the judges will give the scores, and the ten with the highest scores will advance to the next round.

The next round of competition is equivalent to two games.

Because players have to enter a magical garden full of potion materials and find the materials they need within the specified time.

This is a test in itself, especially since there are no magical animals in the magic garden and the environment is different in different locations.

Many potions that require certain parts of magical animals to be brewed cannot be made. When looking for materials, you must also consider the environment in which the materials live.

Players must fully consider these factors and find materials as quickly as possible.

After all, the faster you find the materials, the longer you can save yourself in brewing the potion.

After finding the materials, the players need to brew a potion using the materials they found.

The judges will give the final score based on the difficulty and quality of the potion and announce the winner.

The referees of the competition are usually internationally renowned potion masters, so there is no need to worry about the fairness of the referees.

These potion masters would not ruin their own reputation by giving him a false name just to support their apprentice.

For a long-lived Potions Master, reputation is more important than anything else.

What's more, even if he forcibly gives his apprentice the title of champion, the onlookers are not fools.

"Strange, don't these potion masters rarely show up? I've never seen their information in the newspapers.

Why would they want to be referees? "

While Harry was lying on the bed reading a book, Hermione also stood by and watched.

She had always known that Harry corresponded with the potion masters, and had carefully read the letters she could understand.

As for Professor Snape's plans to take Harry to the Magic School Potions Championship, Harry did not hide it from Hermione.

"To get to know potential juniors." Harley's fingertips lightly ran across the pages of a book, looking at the names recorded on it.

These names that can be recorded in books are all potion masters who are famous in the circle of magic masters, and most of them have served as referees in this game.

"If you look at the records in the book, many masters have a certain tendency towards potion research.

They must have potions that they are not good at making.

At this time, getting to know more potential juniors or friends at the same level may play a key role at some point in the future. "
