The Magical Principles of Natural Philosophy at Hogwarts

Riddle could roughly guess that Erwin got the legacy of a high-ranking wizard, and he was not particularly surprised when he saw Erwin have a cube container that contained both space folding and traceless stretching effects many times.

Of course, the main reason why he was able to maintain this state of mind was that he didn't know that this cube could continue to expand and eventually become a fully functional alchemy building group.

It is impossible to buy these processed materials directly, because each potion has different requirements for the state of its raw materials.For example, this semi-carbonized bay leaf powder is only used when making magic power awakening potions. Under normal circumstances, no wizard will sell the intact bay leaves in this way.

Could it be that someone is helping him?Some senior students, even Hogwarts staff, helped him prefabricate these medicinal materials?

But for the past few days Riddle had been directly watching Erwin's daily life, and he clearly remembered that Erwin had never dealt with anyone who could handle the raw materials for him.

Then there is only one possibility left, he has a very advanced rune crucible, or some other potion tool.

Riddle admitted that he felt jealous. This kid is not only talented, but also has such good luck. Dumbledore probably knew about it, and he might even have directly contributed to it. Otherwise, why would a Muggle-born kid have such good luck? chance?

No wonder this kid trusted the old guy so much, and he had to spend a lot of effort to hold him steady and hand him over without being let go.

This kid now treats him as an object of wanton oppression. It is impossible to say that Riddle is not angry at all, but he bears it and does not comment on his situation.

He doesn't have the ability to counter the opponent now. Erwin has shown far more shrewdness and caution than normal adult wizards, so he has no chance, but he is not impatient. Although he only has 16 years of memory, from the Muggle Since the orphanage, he has long been used to this kind of forbearing life.

As long as there is enough interest involved, the relationship between the two parties will continue to change. At that time, it is hard to say who will control who...

Of course, Erwin has a very clear understanding that the essence of cooperation with Riddle is to seek skins from tigers, but it is obvious that he must consider risks and benefits in everything he does, and the benefits of dealing with Riddle are obviously far higher than the risks.

Nothing is perfect in this world.

When he first came into contact with potions, Erwin thought about the possibility of assembly line production, and as a master alchemist, Nick Flamel obviously had a similar idea earlier than him. The set of potions in Flamel's cabin The auxiliary device can almost complete the processing of any medicinal material, which can greatly save time.

If there are dozens of such devices, it is enough to be called industrialization.

But it is a pity that it is only to this extent. The whole device is very complicated, and it is almost difficult to copy. Erwin expects to study it for at least several years before he can copy it, and the production line built by relying on the rune device still cannot replace the wizard to complete it. The final crafting of potions.

Because this process requires the wizard to maintain perception at all times, and at the same time accurately use magic power to control the reactions between various substances.

In the final analysis, the wizard itself is the most fundamental productivity.

In this underground secret room, the passage of time seems to be difficult to detect. Erwin missed lunch without any accidents. When it was evening, his result was a bottle of somewhat cloudy liquid.

"Although the purity is a bit low, it can indeed be regarded as a magical awakening potion. After a busy day, I finally have a finished product, at least worthy of the materials you wasted."

Riddle said words that seemed to be comforting, but no matter what, there was a sense of teasing and schadenfreude.

This is normal. If it were the first time for Riddle to come into contact with the high-level potion of magic power awakening, he would at most concoct such a defective product on the first day. After all, no matter how talented he is, it will only improve the efficiency of practice, and it is impossible to directly Skip the trial and error process.

If Erwin can concoct the perfect magic awakening potion in just a few tries, Del's mentality may be about to be thrown off balance again.

The worst thing for a genius with a small mind is to meet someone more genius than him.

And Riddle is obviously not a broad-minded person.

Erwin rubbed his sore wrist. He didn't have any negative emotions because of Riddle's words. The more advanced the potion is, the more difficult it is to make. It's already unexpected to be able to successfully make the finished product. This is different from what he used to Those mid-level and low-level potions made are a completely different feeling.

That's right, a defective product can be considered a finished product, and the magic power awakening potion he made is effective.

After all, this was the first time he had come into contact with such a complicated potion preparation, and he had never heard of many skills and attention points before.

Practice a few more times, and the situation will be much better. After all, he is only 13 years old, and he has plenty of time.

There is no need to be too eager.

It was already very late, and I might not even be able to catch dinner if we stayed any longer. Erwin signaled Riddle to retract into his diary, then left the secret room with the diary and stepped up the stairs.

Just as the statue of the witch blocking the entrance of the secret passage moved away, Erwin happened to see two boys running towards him, stumbling and flustered, wearing bulky and ill-fitting clothes.

Who is it but Harry and Ron?

Erwin's reaction was quick, and he immediately waved to them and let them enter the secret passage.

The two boys propped their hands on their knees, gasping for breath.

"What's your situation?" Erwin asked, leaning against the wall with his arms folded.

"Almost revealed the truth, running half a minute late will bump into Snape!" Ron's expression was exaggerated.

"We drank Polyjuice Potion and pretended to be Crabbe and Goyle." Harry added with some difficulty: "The good news is that Malfoy didn't notice it, and the bad news is..."

"We didn't get any useful information." Ron was a little frustrated, but then he became more energetic. "But it feels good, doesn't it? Look at Malfoy's arrogant and stupid look."

"Brother Yan didn't know the key information?" Erwin was not surprised.

"He said his dad didn't tell him the details at all." Harry sighed.

They have painstakingly brewed Polyjuice Potion and devised plans that have yielded little or nothing.

"But it's already confirmed that Dobby is the elf of the Malfoy family." Harry rolled his eyes, "I mentioned it to him on purpose, but he didn't deny it."

Erwin nodded slightly, and Harry was a little cautious now.

"Sure enough, Malfoy instructed that elf to do it during the ball game!" Ron's anger immediately rose.

Harry smiled wryly.

"That is to say, Dobby still comes to see Brother Yan from time to time?" Erwin asked.

"That's right, Malfoy said his elves brought him a lot from home yesterday."

Erwin nodded slightly. It seems that house elves can also act as owls sometimes, and they can play a greater role than owls.Apparating is fairly quick and easy.

What an excellent and worry-free servant race.

According to Dumbledore, Erwin didn't need to take care of this matter anymore, but he was still quite interested in Dobby himself and the Malfoy family.

So he had some kind of idea... But now is not the time to implement it.

"Why just the two of you? Where's Hermione? Didn't you say you wanted to act together? Could it be that she was caught?" Erwin suddenly realized that someone was missing.

In the morning, Hermione said that she would drink Polyjuice Potion with Harry and the others.

The two boys looked at each other, "Hermione...should still be in the bathroom on the second floor."

"Why is it there?" Erwin frowned.

"We drank Polyjuice Potion together in that abandoned bathroom." Ron confessed: "Harry and I both completed the transformation quickly, but something seemed wrong with Hermione, she locked herself in the cubicle , and urged us to go straight to Malfoy."

"We have to find her," said Harry.

The three of them walked out of the secret passage together and hurried upstairs. As soon as they entered the bathroom door, they heard bursts of sharp and mean laughter.

"It's the ghost Myrtle who lives here, she's a little crazy," Ron explained.

"Warm kitty, soft kitty..." Myrtle began to sing an unexplainable ballad.

"Hermione is crying," Harry whispered, hearing sobbing from the cubicle.

"Shut up!" Ron yelled angrily at Myrtle, who suddenly floated over, and was met with sharper laughter in response.

"Hermione, are you alright?" Harry knocked on the cubicle door worriedly.

"I'm... fine." After a few seconds, the girl replied in a low voice.

"Are you really okay?" Erwin said, his tone was calm and reassuring.

“Always shutting yourself in is not the solution either.”

The compartment door opened, and Hermione covered her face with tears in the corners of her eyes.

From the crevices of her fingers, she could see the black hair on her face, her eyes had also turned tawny, and two cat ears grew out of the brown hair.

Harry and Ron gasped.

"I thought it was Millicent's hair, but it was actually a cat's hair." Hermione was aggrieved.

"It shouldn't matter, it will change back after a while..." Ron tried to comfort him.

Harry shook his head, the actual situation didn't look like it could be changed back.

"You have to go to the infirmary," he said, "Madam Pomfrey should have a solution..."

"Then how should I explain it?" Hermione was a little emotional, "How should I tell Madam Pomfrey that I made myself like this?"

Harry was dumbfounded.

To be honest, everything will be exposed, and they will be held accountable for stealing school medicinal materials.

Erwin also frowned slightly, "How should we deal with this situation?"

He was asking Riddle.

"The compound decoction accident? It's pretty typical, and it's not difficult to deal with..."

Just as Riddle was about to speak, Myrtle suddenly looked at Erwin in extreme horror, let out a shrill scream, and shrank into the toilet.

"Can she sense you?" Erwin realized something was wrong.

Riddle snorted coldly.
