Chapter 297: Potion Improvement
You're not like me...
Ivan secretly said in his heart that the reason why he was able to achieve his current achievements was because he could use the mind acceleration mode of the experience card to assist in learning, and on the other hand, it was because of two dangerous bloodline fusion rituals.
Hermione had achieved this point entirely on her own talent and hard work, which was why Ivan was amazed, no wonder the little witch in the original plane was able to take the position of Minister of Magic in the end.
Hermione didn't know this, and as she walked on the way to the arithmetic and divination class, she remembered that the Slytherin girl just now thought of Malfoy, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Ivan, are those pure-blood wizards so arrogant and annoying?"
"Ron wouldn't be happy if you said that... The Weasleys are purebloods too! Ivan shook his head amusedly.
"I'm sorry, I don't know—" Hermione stuck out her tongue, a little embarrassed, she had seen the Weasleys.
Ron's parents were very kind people, not only did they not have the slightest prejudice against her, but they also invited her to visit the Burrow when they had time.
Their family is very different from the arrogant Malfoy father and son.
"By the way, Ivan, are you also a pure-blood wizard?" Hermione suddenly thought of this and said.
"How do I know? Probably not, right? Ivan hesitated, he still didn't know what was going on in his parents' family, and Aisya had never told him.
However, in the wizarding world, only the Holy Twenty-Eight are widely recognized as pure-bloods, and there are no Hals family among them.
"And strictly speaking, there are probably no complete pure-blood families in the wizarding world now." Ivan thought of something and couldn't help but smile.
Hermione was a little surprised, why did she say that?
"According to some secret sources, many pure-blood families have intermarried with Muggle-born wizards, otherwise the number of pure-blood families is so small that they don't deal with each other, and they would have been doomed if they only married each other."
Ivan explained that the disadvantages of intermarriage are known to modern people, but there are very few children of pure-blood families who are mentally disordered except for a few people, which shows that pure-blood families should not be so disciplined.
Of course, even so, in order to maintain the reputation of pureblood, intermarriages between major families are still frequent, such as Malfoy's mother is a member of the Black family.
"Then the next time I see Malfoy, I'll use this to contradict him." Hermione said with a smile.
"I don't think Malfoy would have believed anything..."Ivan shrugged his shoulders, and then felt a little sad, it was because of this old pure-blood wizard that the wizarding world would remain unchanged for hundreds of years.
The two of them just talked and laughed and walked into the classroom of arithmetic and divination class.
Setima Victor, the professor of arithmetic and divination, is a very strict person, very different from the mysterious Trelawney.
Even Setima Victor was extremely disdainful of Trelawney, who also taught divination.
As soon as she started the class, she said bluntly that only by relying on rigorous reasoning and calculation can we get a glimpse of the future!
Most of the people who came to class were Ravenclaw students, and Hermione listened to the class with great interest, and when the class was over, the little witch couldn't help but sigh that Professor Victor was much more reliable than Trelawney, and this was the divination she wanted to learn...
Ivan earned another grade point, and then the two continued to the next classroom.
At the end of the day, the two spent more than ten hours taking nine classes.
In the evening, Ivan used the time turner to rewind five hours of time to experiment with potion improvements.
These days, Ivan has Snape's Potions research notes, but the research on potions improvements is not going well, and he needs more time and relevant books.
Fortunately, the time problem can be solved by relying on the time turner, and related books can be found in the forbidden section.
So, Ivan took a moment to convince Lupin to sign a note to borrow a book in the name of developing a potion.
Lupin has been avoiding Ivan these days because he has heard some rumors before, and now he was almost startled when he saw Ivan come to find him, thinking that his identity was exposed.
Fortunately, Ivan quickly explained his intentions, and Lupin almost did not hesitate and readily agreed.
After all, he knew that Ivan was the developer of the wolf poison potion, and it was normal for him to borrow a few advanced potions books, and he also hoped that one day Ivan would be able to research a way to completely cure the werewolf.
As Ivan walked out of the Defence Against the Dark Arts office, he vaguely felt that Lupin seemed to be a little afraid of himself, but he couldn't understand what was going on.
Is he so scary?
Ivan remembers that he is still very handsome, especially after fusing the blood of a unicorn...
Ivan, who couldn't figure it out, took the note given by Lupin and borrowed three forbidden books on potions: "Encyclopedia of Advanced Potions Materials", "Advanced Potions Making", and "Potions Improvement" from the forbidden book area.
Eventually, he found a secluded classroom and began to research possible ways to improve potions.
As for why not in the library?
Of course, because the library was a place where he often had to look up materials, Ivan felt that it was better not to stay there all the time and cause trouble for his future self.
The only thing that made Ivan a little helpless was that Hermione, while not stopping him from using the Time Turner for additional research work, went back five hours with him.
"Hermione, you've been in class for almost twenty hours today, you should go back to your dorm room and get some rest." Ivan looked at Hermione, who looked obviously tired, and reluctantly comforted.
Hermione shook her head firmly, she felt that Ivan didn't need to rest, and she was still trying to learn about potions, so she needed to work harder.
"And I've read a lot of books, and I know how to make most potions, so I'm sure it can help!" The little witch said confidently.
After saying that, Hermione looked at Ivan with some apprehension, of course she could feel how much Ivan attached importance to this potion improvement, so Hermione also hoped that she could help Ivan.
Ivan thought about it and didn't refuse again, it would be good to have one more person to help research the improvement of potions.
Hermione was pleased, but when it was time to actually join the potions research, the little witch realized that Ivan's research topic was far beyond her imagination.
Coupled with the fact that she had never been exposed to potion improvement before, this led to Ivan's research materials, which she couldn't understand at all.
