At Hogwarts at the end of January, the cold weather gradually eased a bit.

They no longer need to wear several thick padded jackets every day and walk to class on skates every morning.

Rubeus Hagrid is back in the Magical Beasts Conservation class, though he still doesn't look very good...... But he continued Professor Graplan's lesson on unicorns, and perhaps he wanted to prove that what Professor Graplan could do, Hagrid could do too!

During Hagrid's first lesson in protecting magical beasts, he brought two unicorn cubs with him.

"It's not going to be easy to convince their parents to bring them here!" Hagrid said with a grin.

Many of the girls were almost crazy at the sight of the unicorn cubs, and Jon noticed that Astoria never took her eyes off one of the unicorn cubs.

The cubs of almost all animals can be described as "cute", and the unicorn cubs are undoubtedly the best of them, with a pleasant golden look on their outer skin, and at the same time, their thick fur has not yet grown, and it should be fluffy and pleasant to touch.

"They turn silver around two years old and emerge when they're about four years old. It doesn't turn pure white until adulthood, and that's about seven years old!" Hagrid said in his loud voice, handing out pieces of ice candy to them:

"You can give them candy, they love ......"

It was a bit like Dumbledore, Jon thought to himself, and quietly approached the one Astoria was holding.

The golden unicorn was licking the piece of candy in Astoria's hand.

Jon wanted to lean over and touch it.

As soon as his hand touched the unicorn, the cub let out an unpleasant scream.

"Don't hurt it!" Astoria glared at him, then quickly turned around and moved the unicorn out of Jon's reach.

......

Hagrid looks to have shaken off the news, and Rita Skeeter is banned from Hogwarts.

Jon didn't hate the fast-flying Western journalist.

Because in the news in the Daily Prophet, she barely mentioned a word about her existence...... In other words, most wizards don't know that Hogwarts in the Triwizard Tournament actually has Jon Hart, the second player.

However, Jon is usually quite careful, and often looks around for a beetle......

He didn't want Rita Skeeter to hear big news.

......

As we get closer to February 24th, the discussion about the second project is getting more and more enthusiastic.

"The content of the first project is the fire dragon, so what should the second project be...... What against a phoenix?"

"Maybe it's dealing with a group of eight-eyed spiders, I heard that there is a huge eight-eyed spider breeding base hidden in the Forbidden Forest at Hogwarts!"

"Why do you always think of Fantastic Beasts, why can't you just four contestants fight each of them with a referee...... Mr. Crouch is sick, and there are just four referees left!"

Harry Potter was going crazy, especially since he already knew what the second project was about.

He played happily for more than a month before Christmas, and after Christmas, he was sad for more than a month because of "broken love", and then there was Hagrid...... It wasn't until a week ago that he remembered the message Jon had told him and brought the golden egg to the bathroom......

Although it was understood that the second project was to go to the bottom of Hogsmeade Lake to find something, he, Ron, and Hermione had searched through the library for the past few days, and they couldn't find a spell that could help him breathe underwater.

He regretted it now...... Why hadn't he started studying the clues provided by the golden eggs earlier, and why had he deserted in class, when maybe some teacher had mentioned how to breathe underwater?

"Maybe you can ask Jon, he might have figured it out!" Hermione suggested, putting down a copy of Forgotten Ancient Magic and Spells.

"No!" it was Ron who spoke first, "He's a competitor to Harry, how can he be kind enough to help him!"

"Yes, I'm not going to ask him!" Harry nodded, his pride clearly not allowing him to do such a thing.

......

Jon Hart was in the Room of Demand at this time.

Like Harry, he had long since forgotten about the second project.

Because he had written to the potions material store in Diagon Alley early last December to buy the cheek sac grass, he even bought a few more just in case. It's quite expensive, five Galleons for an ounce of gill grass.

Lately, Jon's attention has been focused on potions.

In the crucible in front of him, the purple-green solution was constantly vibrating, and these were the initial liquid of the truth elixir.

It's also what Jon has been working on for the past half month...... In the past month and a half, Jon had failed twice.

According to Snape's list, the elixir belonged to the II.A group of potions, but the exact cycle depended on the owner who configured it.

Jon had to choose to try from scratch.

Attempts at the first and second cycles have failed, and in Jon's experience, it's not the configuration process, it's the sequence mismatch.

Today we are going to try the third cycle of the II.A group, sequence 20, the title "Rock".

Jon had already memorized the method of each sequence.

He carefully took out a tenth of an ounce of the stunner feather and carefully added it to the crucible. This is the theoretical configuration method of the truth vomiting agent.

Bubbles began to bubble in the crucible, and the feathers of the soundbird, as if they could not be dissolved in the purple-green potion, began to settle to the bottom of the crucible little by little.

That's why Jon had tried so many times before and failed.

If the potion sequence is chosen correctly, the Silencer's feathers will merge into the solution, making the entire solution transparent, and if the potion sequence is chosen correctly, the Silencer's feathers will sink completely, eventually turning the entire solution into a black paste.

Jon pulled out a teaspoon with a little dolomite powder on it.

Very carefully, I poured a little bit of it into the crucible...... The feathers of the settling birds seemed to merge with the dolomite powder and disappear.

But Jon didn't let up in the slightest...... Because the method of sequence 20 requires extreme patience, dolomite powder must be added only when there is a precipitate of the stunner feathers at the bottom of the crucible, and the amount of the two must be strictly matched.

If you add less, as long as a little of the feathers of the stunner are burned into a black paste, then all the potions in the crucible will be discarded, and if you add more, the dolomite powder will prevent the settling of the feathers of the stunner, and the solution will only maintain the status quo until several solutes fail after ten minutes.

Jon's breathing grew nervous—
