Hogwarts: Harley from The Witch Way

Harry had expected Sister Delacour to stay overnight, but she soon regretted her decision.

Gabriel, a little girl who had just turned eight, was full of life and very rambunctious.

She was always asking questions, and even water running into her mouth in the shower didn't stop her from talking afterwards.

It wasn't until almost twelve o'clock in the evening that Harry managed to fall asleep.

When Harry had breakfast the next day, he was still yawning constantly, looking very tired.

Furong also expressed her apologies for this, and quickly dragged Gabriel away.

Although the little girl fought hard, hoping to stay one more night, she was ruthlessly suppressed.

...

Over the next week, Halle and the professors worked out a plan for the second round.

When entering the magic garden to collect materials, the most important thing is to ensure that the collected materials are enough to brew a potion.

And there are no magical animals in the magic garden, at most there are only some ordinary mosquitoes or small animals, so this greatly reduces the scope of the potion.

Based on these two points, Harry quickly selected several potions.

The backup potions are Shrunken Potion and Sober Potion. The main ingredients required for these two potions, shrunken fig and sober herb, are not particularly rare.

Professor Slughorn also told Harry that these two plants can be found on the outskirts of a certain area of ​​the magic garden.

And their auxiliary materials are even more common, and some are not even magic plants, but wild flowers that are common on the roadside, such as the daisies needed in the shrinking potion.

However, the shrinking potion is a little more troublesome, and it also needs the spleen of the mouse and the juice of the leech.

These two common creatures must exist in the magic garden, but it is more troublesome to catch, and it is more delicate to take the spleen or squeeze the juice.

Also, if Harley chooses these two potions, the score won't be particularly high.

After all, these two potions are not very difficult, and Hogwarts will choose to teach students how to make them in the fourth or fifth grade.

The first target potion Harry prepared was the Phantasm Potion, an advanced potion that many potion masters could not make.

The main ingredients of this potion are fresh leaves of phantom flower and shadow tree, both of which are precious and endangered plants.

Although these two kinds of plants also exist in the magic garden, they are all in very deep places.

It takes a very long time and a lot of effort to find them.

But Harley developed a new method, using the more common phantom grass instead.

Harley is very confident. When she brews a new version of the illusion potion, she will definitely get a very high score.

The biggest problem now is how to deal with the Phantom Grass in a short time.

After all, Harley's original method of handling it would take a lot of time.

Although she already had a prototype of a plan to deal with the Phantom Grass in a short period of time, but it has not been formed into a systematic way.

It took Harry three full days to finally decide on a plan that could be 100% successful.

Apart from spending time at Professor Slughorn's house and concentrating on researching potions, Harry didn't do anything else.

This disappointed people from other magic schools or some potion masters. After all, they wanted to visit Harley for various purposes.

Ten days is not short, but it is not long.

After the first round, the morning of the eleventh day.

All the players gathered on the square again and sat in the positions they had been allocated.

The contestants uniformly put on the brand-new school uniform issued by the Extraordinary Pharmacist Association, in order to prevent someone from secretly carrying some hard-to-find materials.

Someone has done this before, but he was very unlucky to meet a natural Legilimency master.

After that, there was an additional rule in the competition: the clothes must be uniformly issued by the Pharmacists Association.

At the same time, because many magic plants are extremely fragile, they cannot use monitoring magic on a large scale to watch the players search for materials.

Therefore, the referees can only choose to apply positioning magic on the school uniforms to ensure that if any students are in danger, they can provide timely rescue.

However, accessories didn't seem to be within their detection range, so when Harley appeared wearing white silk gloves, no one paid attention to this.

The second round is about to begin. President Hector said on the referee's seat, I will repeat the rules for the last time.

You will have ten hours to enter the magic garden to search for materials, and use the materials to brew a potion.

The International Federation of Wizards has arranged patrols in the magic garden to ensure that your lives are not in danger.

If you encounter irresistible danger, you can shoot red sparks into the sky.

However, this also means that the player's journey of searching for materials is officially over, and he can only use the collected potion materials for brewing.

Also, a final warning to everyone against assaulting each other.

While we can't use magic to monitor, if a player claims to have been attacked, we will use flashback spells to check your wands.

Now I declare, the game begins!

President Hector's wand tip shot a golden firework into the sky, and the contestants quickly left their seats and headed towards the entrance of the magic garden at the end of the square.

Harry and Fleur entered the entrance together, and then they parted ways.

On the one hand, the schools they belong to are different, and on the other hand, Harley and Fleur are both proud witches.

Harley has always been very confident in her own strength, and didn't think that she needed a companion for such a simple task.

And Fleur also refused to join forces with Harley.

She doesn't like all the students of Beauxbatons, that's why she has such a close connection with Harley, and even hopes that the only opponent and friend she can value can come to Beauxbatons to study.

So Furong's pride made her walk into the magic garden alone.

After entering the forest, Harley jumped and landed lightly on the tree. The school uniform on her body was also changed into light sportswear by the transfiguration technique.

Like a shadow, Harry quickly shuttled between the branches, looking for the materials he needed.

There are tall trees everywhere around the magic garden, and Harry seems to have returned to the Forbidden Forest.

Apparently, most of these are ordinary materials, which don't meet Harry's needs at all.

Harley's destination is the swamp area and the ice and snow area in the magic garden. The swamp area is far away from the entrance gate of the magic garden, and the ice and snow area is to the east of the swamp area.

The phantom grass Harley needs is the swamp area, and the various plants needed to deal with the phantom grass grow in ice and snow and swamp areas.

If Harry hadn't been confident enough in her speed, she wouldn't have chosen this potion at all.

The environment in the swamp area is very harsh. There aren't many trees here, and the roads are pretty bad.

Although the Association of Extraordinary Pharmacists has explored dozens of safe routes and marked them.

However, according to common sense, the high-quality phantom grass that has matured in these places must have been picked long ago.

So there is a high probability that they will go deep into the swamp.

As he guessed, after reaching the edge of the swamp, Harry silently watched the safe route marked by the Extraordinary Pharmacist Association.

There are indeed some phantom grasses on both sides of the road, but the quality is not high, or there are congenital defects, or they are immature.
