Hogwarts: Harry's Path to Witches

Chapter 139 Nico is old

After coming out of the library, Fleur took Harry to the highest tower of Beauxbatons Castle.

Standing here, you can easily overlook the entire Beauxbatons Manor.

If the tower's constant special magic is used, visitors can even enjoy views of the entire Pyrenees.

Time flew by quickly, and soon came evening. Ms. Maxim prepared a sumptuous dinner in the auditorium of the castle.

Harry had to admit that the Great Hall at Beauxbatons was much better than the one at Hogwarts.

The ceiling of Beauxbatons is made of enchanted glass, randomly displaying the beautiful scenery of the Pyrenees Mountains.

Beauxbatons is not divided into houses like Hogwarts, and the walls of the Great Hall are carved with deeds and portraits of famous alumni of the school and decorated with flowers and ribbons.

According to Furong, the school believes that this will help improve everyone's unity.

Although they are not divided into houses, Beauxbatons, like Hogwarts, chose to eat on a long table.

However, considering the small number of people today, Ms. Maxim moved the commonly used long table to the edge of the auditorium and replaced it with a large round table.

At this time, the table was already filled with steaming delicacies, and more delicious food appeared out of thin air from time to time.

"Marseille bouillabaisse, caviar, red wine braised chicken, French blue lobster... Do you usually eat such good food?"

When Harry and Fleur entered the auditorium, Harry was keenly aware of Professor Slughorn's sigh.

"Of course not." Ms. Maxim's voice was much louder, and even Fleur standing at the door of the auditorium could hear it.

"Thank you Nico for lending us the house elf. You must know that the elves in Beauxbatons do not cook such exquisite food.

We usually prefer fish soup, croissants, tender lamb and various desserts. "

"It's great," Professor Slughorn sighed, "much better than the UK. Although many people have always been tough, everyone knows that the UK is a real food desert..."

Harley stopped using the assassin's hearing to listen because the two of them were already close.

There were already many people sitting around the round table, and Mr. and Mrs. Nico were sitting next to Principal Maxim.

Several big shots that Harry knew also came.

“The man next to Dad is the current president of the Society of Extraordinary Apothecaries, Hector Dagworth Bernard, whom I think you should recognize.

That is our Potions professor, Dirk Bebier, a relative of Democris Bebier, the inventor of Wolfsbane potion..."

Fleur quietly introduced to Harley the characters she knew or didn't know.

Harry still had some impressions, such as the current president of the Extraordinary Pharmacists Association, an old man in his 170s.

Because he admired Hector Dagworth Granger, the founder of the Society of Extraordinary Apothecaries, he changed his name and determined to become a Potions Master.

Later, he did succeed. He became famous in the wizarding world because he improved the compound soup potion that was extremely difficult to improve, shortening the brewing time of compound potion potion that originally took more than a year to less than six months.

There was also Beauxbatons' Potions Professor. When Harry was corresponding with Fleur, she would occasionally see his name and chat with him through letters.

However, most of these characters were related to potions, so Harley speculated that they probably wanted to take Beauxbatons' transportation to the competition site.

Harley said hello in turn, and finally Perenal called to sit next to her.

Fleur also sat down next to Harry. The two of them sat upright and behaved.

"Harry, how is Beauxbatons' castle?" Everyone was chatting while eating, and Perenal suddenly asked a question while talking and laughing,

"Furong should have taken you around already, right?"

Several professors from Hogwarts or Beauxbatons turned their eyes quietly in an instant, and others also listened with interest.

“Hogwarts is rich in history, Beauxbatons is full of artistic splendor.

As for more in-depth information, I don’t think I can make an accurate assessment based on a simple exploration of this castle. "

Harley reacted instantly and answered.

"What a smart little wizard," Hector laughed twice in admiration.

"Harry, you are indeed gifted in your understanding of potions. Your ideas inspired me a lot during my last research on the phantom potion.

I tried your suggestion and replaced the fresh leaves of eidolon and shadow tree with phantom grass, and the effect was indeed better. "

"Oh, really? This can indeed reduce costs to a great extent.

But I remember that Grillo tried this kind of replacement two hundred and sixty years ago, and it failed. "Mr. Delacour was very interested after hearing this and directly intervened in the conversation.

"This is all thanks to Harley's wonderful idea. She used a special method to deal with the phantom grass..."

Harry listened to the discussion of the potion masters with a humble smile on his face and no disturbance in his heart.

The Witch Cult has developed similar potions based on the invisibility ability of the Witch Path, and has compressed the cost to the extreme, and the price-performance ratio has been raised to the highest level.

So after many attempts and material replacement, Harley easily improved it.

However, Hector was indeed worthy of his status as the president of the Extraordinary Pharmacist Association, and easily improved Harley's formula, making the effect more stable after replacing the ingredients.

Originally, Harley's potion could only last for one to two hours, and would occasionally remove the invisibility.

But after Hector slightly changed the ratio of other materials, the effect of the medicine could be maintained for more than three hours.

"You can actually improve the potion formula yourself? How powerful!" Fleur quietly leaned into Harley's ear and sighed.

"Yeah, I've heard several people lament Harley's talent." Perenal answered from the side.

"Nico has been complaining that it would be great if Harley liked alchemy. He has always wanted such an apprentice to pass on the mantle.

He was so envious when he heard that there was such a genius in potions. "

"Indeed, it would be great if Harry had such a talent for alchemy and liked alchemy."

Nico also smiled and said, "After all, I am too old and can no longer refine the magic stone. I urgently need to find someone to inherit my skills."

"You are already worth it, and you don't even look at how old you are! I used so many kinds of magic potions to barely live to be 200 years old."

This group of old people are already very familiar with each other. They can be said to be unscrupulous when chatting, and from time to time they reveal some weight information.

The dinner ended in such a joyful atmosphere. Hector also invited Hallie to join the Association of Extraordinary Pharmacists and was willing to vouch for her personally.

However, Professor Slughorn unceremoniously took over the position of guarantor. After all, this was a student at Hogwarts. What was the point of asking Beauxbatons to be a guarantor?

In the evening, Ms. Maxim arranged a room specifically for Hallie. The seventh grader who originally lived there had just graduated.

Harry dragged the luggage he had just received from Headmaster Dumbledore and entered the girls' dormitory.

Just like Hogwarts, there are five people in a room. The room is also decorated with vases, and there are decorations on the wall that the senior sister has not removed.
