Hogwarts School of the Dark Arts

"I'm asking you how you feel about Harry 6 Potter now. He is going to be dragged by Xavier 1 Owen to start a company!" Professor McGonagall said slightly helplessly.

"Hmm...I was wondering if there is any spare room in the school that would be suitable for them to start a business."

Professor McGonagall:  …

"Aren't you worried that they won't study hard in the future? Aren't you worried that Harry Potter will be addicted to making money in the future?" Professor McGonagall asked incomprehensibly.

"Harry is here to help Xavier, and you must have heard the purpose of Xavier's money. He is here to buy materials to learn potions and alchemy... In fact, I didn't realize until today that he went to school for potions and alchemy. The resources provided to students are indeed a bit scarce. Xavier is right. In these two courses, it is difficult to achieve success without a lot of practice... I don’t know how many talented students in the past did not develop their talents due to material issues. ."

Hearing this, Professor McGonagall couldn't help but frown.

"Are you going to let go of the students' magic materials? The school directors will not agree, and... it is too dangerous. Even for those talented students, it is too dangerous to let them experiment freely now, and I don't agree. "Professor McGonagall said.

Dumbledore shook his head: "You don't need to fully liberalize it. You just need to give more materials to students with excellent grades... The types of materials can also be controlled. Materials that are too dangerous will not be given to students in lower grades. This is also the case." It doesn’t cost much.”

Professor McGonagall frowned and thought for a while, then slowly nodded in agreement.

But there still seems to be some reluctance.

"By the way, you should pay more attention to that kid Xavier in the future. He is also very special...even as much as Harry."

Xavier?No less than Harry?

Professor McGonagall's brows that had relaxed just now furrowed again.

"He has very good grades, loves to study, and is very worry-free... Although he sometimes does some ridiculous pranks for no reason... But why do you say he is special, even as good as Harry?" Professor McGonagall asked in confusion.

"He is the Obscurus...and I can't see through him at all."

"The Obscurial One?!" Professor McGonagall was suddenly startled: "But the Obscurial One is not..."

"So he's special."

"I know, I will pay more attention to him."

With Ron's help, Xavier converted all the remaining money into magic materials and bought some of various materials.

There was enough material, so Xavier continued studying while taking part of his reading time to experiment.

One thing Xavier didn't say before is that Xavier's ultimate ideal product is not actually hot pot base or hot pot set meal, but hot pot potion.

That is, a bottle of finished potion can be turned into hot pot soup by pouring it into water.

At first glance, it seems a bit unnecessary, but it is actually for patent purposes and to prevent it from being easily cracked by other wizards.

If it is just a simple ratio of magic materials, then everyone can buy the raw materials to make it themselves, who will buy his products?Xavier's business ambitions are not limited to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Potions is indeed a broad and profound subject, and Xavier keeps failing. He even continues to experiment with the materials he brought after finishing the class assignment in Potions class.

Professor Snape would sometimes take care of it, scolding Xavier and deducting one or two points, but then he would tell Xavier what to pay attention to if he used such and such material with such and such material.

Harry and Ron would hold back their smiles every time. There were several times when they failed their class tasks and had points deducted because they endured it too hard. However, even the points deducted did not affect their happy mood.

As time went by, Xavier's ability to make potions improved significantly compared to before. At the same time, Xavier also harvested a lot of potion residues, all of which were failed products from previous experiments.

Xavier is not going to throw away these medicine residues, he is going to use decomposition to break them down.

Since arriving at Hogwarts, Xavier has not used the decomposition technique even once. It's not because Xavier forgot or didn't want to use it, but because the "appearance" of the decomposition technique is so poor that it looks like black magic.

However, Xavier stored the dregs of medicine in his dormitory. As the number and types of dregs increased, the smell they emitted became stronger and more indescribable. The roommates had protested more than once.

Even Xavier himself couldn't stand it.

"It's time to get yourself a secret base."

Xavier put the last box of medicine residue into his suitcase and pulled the suitcase out of the dormitory.

Xavier had two alternative locations in mind.

The first one is of course the famous Room of Requirement.

The second is the secret passage under the Whomping Willow, which leads to the Shrieking Shack and directly leaves Hogwarts.

However, both Snape and Principal Dumbledore knew about this secret passage, and since they were leaving the castle and Hogwarts, it was a bit too conspicuous.

Therefore, currently, the only option suitable for Xavier is the Room of Requirement.

"Oh, honey, where are you going with your suitcase so late?"

The Fat Lady looked at Xavier in surprise and asked.

"It's okay, I'm going for a stroll."

After closing the door, Xavier ignored the Fat Lady's nagging and dragged the box around aimlessly in Hogwarts.

While walking around, he muttered words and kept repeating in a low voice: I need a hidden room for experiments, I need a hidden room for experiments... Where can I find a suitable room...

Perhaps it was because Xavier truly believed from the bottom of his heart that he needed such a room, and in addition, he stated his needs directly and brought his luggage with him, and his attitude was very sincere.

When Xavier walked to the corner of a passage, suddenly, the wall moved!

"So easy?! My luck is indeed..."

"Hi there, Owen." x2

Looking at the two identical faces exposed behind the cracked wall, Xavier was stunned.

"My name is George."

"My name is Fred."

"We are Ron's brothers" x2

"We have been with you for a long time." "In the secret passage."

"Are you looking for a secret room?" "We know several."

"Do you need our help?" x2

The two of them spoke as if they were one person, but there was no conflict at all. They connected very well, and occasionally they would speak at the same time.

"Uh... yes, I urgently need a secret room to store some experimental waste and conduct experiments." Xavier nodded and said after coming back to his senses.

"Come in." "We'll take you there."

"Filch will arrive in 30 seconds." x2

"Oh, alright."

Xavier hurriedly got into the passage, and he didn't know whether it was George or Fred who gently tapped the wall on one side with the wand, and the entrance to the passage suddenly returned to its original state.

"Come with us." x2

The two whispered, while one person held Xavier's shoulder and walked forward along the passage.
