Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 676 Learning Valve

   At dusk, the sky is getting dark.

  An owl flew across the sky, heading towards the small manor on the edge of the remote Senas village. It circled over the manor, and finally flew directly into the house through an open window.

The unexpected owl startled the house elf who was busy in the kitchen. It hurriedly protected the freshly baked dinner, and shouted to the uninvited owl: "Don't fly around, give me the letter, I will Give the letter to the master."

The owl, obviously not intending to deliver the letter to the house-elf, flapped its wings and circled over the kitchen, making the house-elf scream in terror: "Don't do that, you'll ruin master's dinner and make a mess of Marla's kitchen. "

  The house-elf tried to reach out and catch the flying owl that broke into the kitchen, but soon realized that he was wasting his efforts, so he opened the kitchen door and screamed, "I'll take you to the master, stop flying around."

  The owl passed through the door lightly, flew along the corridor towards the dining room, and threw the envelope to the middle-aged man who was flipping through the "Daily Prophet".

   "Sorry Master, I couldn't stop it," said Mara uneasily.

   "It's okay, is dinner ready?" Hetok asked, flipping through the newspaper.

   "It's ready, I'll bring the food right away." Marla opened the dining room window, threw out the owl that was bothering it, and hurried back to the kitchen to bring the freshly prepared food.

   "Who sent the letter?"

  Hetok put down the "Daily Prophet", picked up the envelope in front of him, and found that it was actually from Albert, whom he had met not long ago, so he opened the envelope and quickly read the contents of the letter.

  After reading half of the contents of the letter, Hetok frowned, because he saw that Albert mentioned in the letter the idea of ​​a potion that could prolong life, and some of his ideas and research were also attached to the letter.

  There was a faint smile on the corner of the potion master's mouth. He didn't mean to laugh at Albert, but felt that Albert had reached that age.

  Anyone who dares to challenge death is a genius in the field of potions.

   Only a potion genius with a heart higher than the sky would have such an arrogant idea to use potions to defeat death.

   Once upon a time, creating an elixir of life was the long-cherished wish of countless potion masters!

   Unfortunately, the wizard who successfully created the elixir of life was an alchemist.

  This matter is a bit ironic.

   Moreover, the manufacture of the elixir of life has nothing to do with the potion, and more needs to be done by the magic stone.

At the beginning, the young Hetok was also immersed in the research of the elixir of life, and tried to brew the so-called elixir of life. After repeated failures, he secretly collected the elixir of life brewed by Mr. Nicole Flamel medicinal materials, trying to reverse the formula of the medicine, but all ended in failure.

  Seeing a similar "recipe" from Albert's letter, Hetok even suspected that it was the formula of the elixir of life that Albert obtained from Nicole Flamel and improved by him.

no way.

  Hetok took a closer look, and found that the ingredients of the potion formula mentioned in the letter were very similar to those he had studied before.

  He didn't think such a formula would be successful, because Mr. Nico had told him that if there was no magic stone, according to the formula of the elixir of life, what would be boiled would be a pot of poisonous potion.

  Since then, Hutok has no interest in tossing about the so-called elixir of life.

"Mara, bring me the letter paper and quill. I want to write a letter." Hetok didn't mean to preach, but just told Albert part of his experience back then, and said that if the other party wanted the original research Records, you can also borrow him to read.

   "By the way, has the letter from the Extraordinary Pharmacist Association arrived?" Hetok was halfway through writing the letter, when he suddenly thought of something, he raised his head and asked the house-elf.

   "There is no master yet." Mara said sharply: "Mara has been paying special attention to letters from the Extraordinary Pharmacist Association in accordance with the master's request."

  Hetok murmured: "It seems that old guy Bernard doesn't want me to be a judge anymore."

  The five-year magic school potion championship is about to start,

  Most gold card member owners of the Extraordinary Pharmacist Association are eligible to become members of the jury for various potion competitions. The notification letter has not yet been sent, which means that he has not been invited to be a member of the jury.

  It is different from what I said at the beginning.

   Who is playing tricks, Hutok can guess with his knees.

   It's Bernard's trick again.

  However, Bernard did not dare to go too far, and the referee qualifications are very likely to be handed over to Damocles.

   "It's time to write a letter to Damocles to ask about the specific situation." Hetok muttered, "By the way, I have to write a letter to Dumbledore to confirm this matter."

  This summer, Huttoke heard some rumors. Although he is not too sensitive to certain things, he also knows that excellent results and a bunch of titles can make Albert less resistant to becoming the Wizengamot's backup.

   Albert needs the champion of the School of Magic Potions Tournament and Hattock also wants Albert to be the champion.

   If he misses this session, Albert will have no chance of winning the Potions Championship just like Damocles.

   What's more, he doesn't want the championship title to fall to Bernard's younger generation. Everyone knows that Bernard relaxed the membership age just to pave the way for his grandson.

   As for being cast aside?

  Bernard is not worried either, politicians have thick skins.

   What's more, no matter how bad Bernard's grandson is, Bernard will help him. If Bernard publishes his own research results for his grandson, who can say anything?

  However, this is not the main reason why some pharmacists hate Bernard. After all, no one has any opinion on what Bernard wants to do with his invention.

  But Bernard tried to control the Association of Extraordinary Pharmacists and turn it into his political bargaining chip, which made many pharmacists unbearable.

The Association of Extraordinary Pharmacists was originally a relatively loose organization, and everyone gathered together for the purpose of better exchanging potion knowledge and having a place where they could get the required medicinal materials faster, and Bernard's gang However, Pai caused a lot of trouble for everyone, and also blocked the supply of medicinal materials for some wizards, setting a very bad precedent.

The pharmacists who had a good relationship also started to report to the group, fighting for the rights in the Association of Extraordinary Pharmacists. Everyone hoped that Bernard would be removed from the position of president in the next election, but they still made the association a mess. It's a mess.

  Recalling these bad things, Hutok didn't want Bernard to get his wish even more.

   After writing his reply to Albert, he continued to write to Dumbledore. As for Damocles, Hetok planned to find time to visit him another day.
