Hogwarts Staff Maker

Chapter 28: Searching for Wolfsbane Potion

In the next few days, Liu Sen searched for information about the "wolf poison potion", but regretfully discovered that this drug that could allow a werewolf to retain his sanity while transforming had not yet been invented.

The small group of werewolves has always suffered from discrimination and has a low social status, so there are not many wizards researching related drugs.

If time continues to develop normally, it will take another two years for the wolfsbane potion to be invented! Every time Lupin transforms, he suffers a lot and is also very dangerous to the people around him!

Can we speed up drug development?

Liu Sen pondered over it and finally recalled a clue! Professor Slughorn really likes to attract students with potential. One of his students' uncle is the inventor of the Wolfsbane Potion and has also won the Order of Merlin!

Based on this clue, Liu Sen checked the wizards who were researching werewolf potions, and he actually screened out the suspected inventor - Damocles Belby!

Damocles Belby once published a potion-themed paper on how to keep werewolves sane in Transfiguration Today, and his nephew Marcus Belby is currently attending Ravenclaw!

That's him! Damocles Belby!

Liu Sen secretly contacted the other party and asked about the progress of the drug research and development, only to find out that the project had been shelved!

The theoretical research of this potion has been basically completed, but the required potion raw materials are of various types, and it is not only expensive but also extremely time-consuming!

Damocles Belby had to run around for gold galleons, and even worked as a laborer to make medicine for others in order to earn funds!

Potions master is a very lucrative profession, but Damocles became poor because of his research.

Damocles' family couldn't understand this, and his own brother even cut off all contact with him!

Money is not everything, but without money, nothing is possible! This sentence is applicable everywhere. Coincidentally, Galaxy Group is not short of money!

Liu Sen immediately wrote a letter to his uncle, the financial backer behind the scenes, and his mother, a shareholder, recommending this potential alchemist and explaining the effects of the wolfsbane potion.

From an investment perspective, the market return rate of Wolfsbane Potion is destined to be low. But from the perspective of impact, this investment is still very meaningful.

So when Lupin returned from his 'sick leave' a week later, he was assigned a new task - to assist Damocles Belby in developing the 'Wolfsbane Potion'!

Lupin, who had just received the task, was completely disheartened, thinking that his identity had been exposed and that his boss was trying to get rid of him in disguise.

It turns out that Liu Sen knew about his werewolf origin when he first started recruiting, and didn't care at all.

Lupin, who had been wandering for half his life, was immediately filled with gratitude and said that his life would belong to the Galactic Group from now on!

Of course Liu Sen didn't want his life, he just wanted him to work hard and display his talents.

As a result, the Galaxy Group established a medical division, and Damocles Belby became the chief potion developer.

Liu Sen originally thought that with sufficient funds and the ready-made "Little White Wolf", the potion would be available soon. But after communication, he realized that the research and development of potions is not that simple, especially this kind of time-consuming and material-consuming potion.

Damocles' formula needs final adjustment and verification, and the slight increase or decrease of auxiliary materials will directly affect the efficacy!

It currently takes 8 months to make one dose of medicine! Even if you multitask, it takes 3 months to make 3 doses of medicine at a time to verify 2 ratios! If you want to succeed in years, you can only rely on luck!

Liu Sen felt somewhat regretful after hearing this explanation. It was not because of the money he was burning, but because he was worried that with his involvement, the development of the wolfsbane potion would easily experience a butterfly effect!

In order to prevent any trouble, Liu Sen decided to use an ultimate trick besides the "氪金" trick - "摇人"!

So on Friday afternoon, Liu Sen gritted his teeth and knocked on Snape's door...

"Dear Professor Snape, are you interested in receiving the Order of Merlin?" Liu Sen asked.

"No, go away." Snape was making medicine without looking up.

"Are you interested in developing an extremely difficult potion? The kind that takes eight months to make a dose?" Liu Sen continued to lobby.

"?! Tell me about it." Snape suddenly became interested when talking about his beloved Potions.

"Wolfsbane Potion! A potion that can keep werewolves sane! Mocris Belby is making the final adjustments, but he cannot confirm the ratio of the last few ingredients. He needs a highly skilled potion master to conduct experiments with him! The Galaxy Group is willing to hire you as a special potion master with generous remuneration..."

"Go away, I'm not interested!" Snape showed a look of disgust and said in a bad attitude.

"Professor, this medicine is very challenging and is a blessing for wizards who are deeply affected by wolfsbane! You will share the Order of Merlin with Damocles..."

Snape interrupted angrily, "Don't think I don't know your little thoughts! Don't you just want your number one lackey to suffer less when he transforms? That conceited, disgusting and despicable werewolf? You don't know how bad Lupin is inside! I will never make medicine for him in my life! Unless it's poison!"

Liu Sen knew about what happened between Snape and Lupin during their school days. Seeing that Snape was angry and didn't refute him, he thought to himself: If I don't make medicine for Lupin in this lifetime, according to the original plan, you will have to make a lot of wolfsbane potion in the next two years!

After thinking about it, Liu Sen gave up today's persuasion and came up with a plan: "Professor, I won't give up. After a while, I will let you see my sincerity!"

On the other hand, Hagrid, who had lived in the new house for half a month, finally stopped complaining that he couldn't sleep after changing his place.

Of course, Liu Sen knew that the other person was the kind of person who would start snoring as soon as he lay down anywhere. He was just not used to the brand new house and new furniture.

Liu Sen also helped him redesign his clothes and outfit, and gave him another prophecy: he would meet his destined other half in three years, so he must seize the opportunity.

Although Hagrid didn't quite believe Liu Sen's prediction, he still accepted his kindness and tried his best to tidy himself up before going out.

So people were surprised to find that the always sloppy giant had become much more energetic since he moved into a new house. His beard was no longer messy, but combed and tied together; his clothes were no longer the same old dirty robe, but a brand new and comfortable British windbreaker and jeans.

Of course Hagrid was unwilling to accept Liu Sen's gift. He felt that Liu Sen had done enough and well.

But Liu Sen told him that this was an advertisement for himself, and such a large billboard was not easy to find - there was indeed a trademark in a conspicuous position on Hagrid's clothes, and a rune similar to a capital 'G' was printed on the exquisite shield badge, which itself represented 'thunder and lightning', and could also be seen as the first letter of the word 'Galaxy'.

The background outside the letters is enchanted, so wizards will see a rotating universe of stars! Muggles will only see still stars! This is of course Remus Lupin's idea!

When building Hagrid's new house, Liu Sen took a lot of photos. The next day, he selected a few and submitted them to the Daily Prophet. He didn't even have to use the gold galleons to make it to the front page! He even received a small amount of royalties!

After all, it is very rare to build a house in Hogwarts! Not to mention the construction method that has never been seen before!

With the help of newspapers and word of mouth from Hogwarts teachers and students, the Galaxy Group received dozens of orders for house repairs and new construction in just half a month! After Lupin came back, he urgently recruited another group of people!

In the old British wizarding world, the Galaxy Group had novel ideas, perfect craftsmanship, high quality products and low prices, and it quickly captured a large market share in a short period of time!

However, there are also old-fashioned conservative wizards who think that the Galactic Group’s construction method must not be strong - they have no idea that Muggles had built skyscrapers with reinforced concrete decades ago!

At the same time, Galaxy Group's clothing business also began operations, and Hagrid's clothes were the first batch of products.

However, Lupin was not good at organizing clothing processing, and he wrote several letters to suggest that Liu Sen choose a suitable person to take over.

Although Liu Sen agreed verbally, he was busy writing letters to the Ministry of Magic. He anonymously suggested to Fudge to improve the Hogwarts train!
