"How the hell did you do that? It's incredible!"
"Ron, this is the twelfth time you've asked me that. Harry looked impatient, "I've said it twelve times, and I'm just doing what the textbook says." β
"But it's really unbelievable that you managed to complete such a troublesome potion and ended up in a tie with Silver. Ron muttered.
"Probably luck. Harry said as he slipped the book of Advanced Potions into his bag without leaving a trace.
Meanwhile, in the Ravenclaw break room, Silver and Hermione were having a conversation.
"Here you go. Silver handed the potion to Hermione.
"Oh, I can't. This one is too precious. Hermione excused.
"It's just a fun little potion that doesn't do much for me. Silver said.
"Jack, it's not a funny little potion. Hermione said, "It will get you lucky all day!"
"I've been lucky enough, Hermione. Without saying a word, Silver slipped the elixir into Hermione's pocket. "It's supposed to be yours, I'm just playing tricks. β
Silver handed Hermione his book "Advanced Potions," Hermione, "You see, the previous owner of this book was a great wizard, and he made many annotations on itβin fact, my Living Hell Potion was so successful thanks to this book. β
"Jack, I remember I brought you a brand new Advanced Potions zuΓ²!" Hermione took Silver in disbelief. The cover of the book is brand new, but when you open it, you can see it. It's an old book, and it's written in dense fonts in many places. "I didn't see Professor Slughorn give you old books. Hermione was surprised. For a while, I forgot about the elixir.
"Hermione, I've got all the books you gave me. Silver blinked, "I don't want to use the gift you gave meβin fact, I've been using an old book since my second year, this Advanced Potions Maker ZuΓ², which I got from Professor Slughorn the other day. β
"Why?!"
"Becauseβ" Silver's mind was spinning, and he couldn't say that he was too stingy to pay for it.
"Because I think. Old books are also very interesting, and there are often all kinds of wonderful annotations on them, such as this "Advanced Potions System", which makes quite a lot of interesting insights. Silver said slowly, thoughtfully.
"It's crazy. Hermione flipped through the book quickly, "It's like a prank, my god, it's completely out of the ordinary......"
"So I said I was tricky. If I hadn't had the help of the wonderful commentary on this book, you would have been number one, and the elixir would have been yours. Silver said.
"And Harry Potter, Jack. Hermione looked up at Silver amusedly, "You cheated like this, and Professor Slughorn was bleeding profusely." β
Silver waved his hand. "Hermione, Professor Slughorn's net worth is far greater than you might think, and those two vials of elixir are nothing to him. And Harry Potter, I don't think he did that potion of hell on his own. β
"And how did he do it?" Hermione was still flipping through the book "Advanced Potions," Professor Slughorn gave him an old book as well. Could it be that there is such a note in that old book?"
"Maybe there's more and more clarity on his book, Hermione. β
"I think I know who the previous owner of this book was. Hermione pointed to a row of small letters at the bottom of the cover.
"This book belongs to the half-blood prince. β

The next few Potions classes of the week became Harry's exclusive showcase, if you ignore Silver and Hermione. Professor Slughorn praised the three of them. This made Malfoy and Sabini very jealous, but they had nothing to say, because every potion making of the three of them was so perfect.
Hermione took a keen interest in the half-blood prince, and she read the Advanced Potions every day. The half-blood prince adds notes to almost every page, and those notes are not all related to potions. Some of the instructions look like spells made up by the prince himself.
"Jack, the half-blood prince might be a woman," Hermione thought to Hermione in the common room one Saturday night, "maybe it's a girl." I don't think the notes are like boys' and more like girls'. β
Silver rolled her eyes, "Hermione, what woman would call herself a prince?"
Hermione was speechless, but she quickly regained her spirits, "It's impossible to do it alone, I think it's a group, and they worked on it together and wrote it down in a book." β
"That sounds a lot more reasonable, Hermione. Silver said, "Half-blood princes, maybe it's their codename." β

In Gryffindor's bedroom, Harry sat on his four-poster bed, flipping through the "Advanced Potions Making ZuΓ²" in his hand, and his heart was a little apprehensive. The book had helped him a lot in Potions class these days, but Harry would always think of that damn diary from his second year.
And this book is also quite strange, only interacting with him during Potions class, and once the class is over, it becomes like a normal book. If he didn't figure out what the book was, Harry wouldn't be able to sleep well.
He took out a bottle of fresh ink from the bedside table, inserted a quill in it and dipped it, letting a drop of ink land on the first page of the textbook. The ink shines brightly on the paper for a second, then disappears as if it has been sucked into the paper and disappears without a trace.
