"Hallie, tonight we're going to continue to learn about the potions that might come up in those matches."

Despite the fact that there was only a short month left before the final exams, Professor Snape did not end Halle's "confinement", and Hallie did not voluntarily apply to stop.

After all, it's just a mere final exam, is it difficult?

During this time, Harley has been studying the various potions that are often the subject of Potions tournaments.

As is customary in previous years, the potions in the first event of the tournament are basically drawn from the range given by the organizers.

This is due to the fact that the textbooks used by each magic school are inconsistent, and it is likely to be unfair if the scope of the competition questions is not given.

Judging from the teaching level of Hogwarts, the potions given by the organizers are basically difficult potions that only Hogwarts sixth and seventh year students will learn, such as potions of joy and living hell potion.

And not many people attend the advanced class of Potions at Hogwarts every year, after all, not many people can meet Professor Snape's requirements.

As for those who can continue to maintain excellent grades after entering the advanced class, there has been no one in the past few years.

This shows how difficult these potions are to be boiled.

But Harley was not difficult to learn, and could even be said to be very handy at making potions.

After a busy night, Professor Snape looked at Hallie's Living Hell Potion and nodded in satisfaction, commenting on the details:

“…… Very good, your knife is good, and the slices of the sleepy beans are very thin, so that they can maximize the juice.

In fact, I would like to recommend that you use the side of the silver short knife to squeeze the sleepy beans, which is easier to juice and more friendly to novices.

However, this will prevent some of the juice from being fully squeezed out, resulting in waste.

Of course, you fully considered the uneven mixing of the materials, so after seven times of counterclockwise stirring, you chose to stir clockwise again.

This effectively increases the contact of the material.

Of course, if you control the right amount of pressure, it is perfect to stir counterclockwise all the time......"

Professor Snape had impeccable knowledge of potions and continued to improve the potions in his textbooks.

Of course, this is not to say that there is something wrong with the methods of the masters who compile the textbooks, but that the Potions masters design the textbooks in such a way that they forget that the students are not up to their level.

They give the best way in the book, but they don't take into account that the students can't do it.

Professor Snape finally finished his comments: "With your current progress, you can learn these potions in a week at most."

When the time comes, I'll teach you my original potions to prepare for the second round! ”

"Thank you, Professor." Harley replied, filling the potion in a bottle and sealing it on a shelf in her office.

With Professor Snape's endorsement, these potions could be sold for a decent price.

Of course, Hallie wouldn't sell them herself, but asked Professor Snape to help her dispose of the potions.

Professor Snape had wanted to give Harley all the gold gallons from the sale of potions.

However, after Hallie refused many times, Professor Snape stopped insisting and instead packed all the gold gallons into the same small bag.

"Professor, I wish you a good night's sleep." Hallie looked into Professor Snape's eyes and smiled, said goodbye softly, and left the office.

……

On the way back to the dormitory, Harley made a trip to the Room of Need, and then returned to the dormitory.

Dobby now sends a letter to Harley every week, putting the information he gathers directly into the room that only Harley can enter.

Thankfully, the room respects the traditions of the wizarding world and identifies Dobby as an "item" belonging to Hallie, so Dobby can enter without hindrance.

As Harley lay down on the bed in her pajamas, she pulled out a thick stack of letters from the head of the bed to her small pocket.

The pocket was a gift from Professor Snape, and Harley had wanted a magical item with a storage function since the last encounter with Lockhart without carrying ritual materials for the illusion.

Originally, she didn't have much hope, after all, in the world of the sequence pathway, only one or two paths had this ability, and the corresponding magical items were very difficult to find.

But when Hallie went to Professor Snape for the first time after killing the basilisk, Professor Snape pointed to the two small bags on the shelf:

"The precious materials that need special preservation that have been processed on the basilisk, such as the basilisk's venom, blood, and eyes, are placed in the bag on the left.

The rest of the materials are still needed by the Ministry of Magic for forensics, so they are temporarily placed in the right bag in the form of a whole basilisk remains. ”

Looking at Harry's somewhat puzzled eyes, Professor Snape added two more words:

"Both bags have a traceless stretching spell cast on them, and the space inside has been expanded many times over.

This is also why they can fit materials that are seriously out of step with their own volume. ”

Upon learning that there was such a goodie, Professor Harry Tosnape bought one for himself and forcibly shoved the gold gallons into the pocket of the professor's clothes.

Now this bag of Harley is stuffed with all kinds of materials, such as the basilisk's pair of big eyes, part of the basilisk's nerves, and one-fifth of the venom and blood—

These are the essence of the basilisk, a must for murder and arson, and a favorite of the Witch of Pain.

The basilisk eyes, in particular, have approached the level of mythical creatures to a certain extent, whether they are used to make seals or as potions materials.

Harley lay in bed studying the documents Dobby had written to herself, including some of Dobby's latest observations about the Malfoy family, assets, and political events at the Ministry of Magic.

"Interesting," Hallie chuckled suddenly, "Lucius Malfoy is really capable, and he has won all the battles against the wind." ”

The parchment that Harley was reading clearly wrote that Lucius had lamented to his wife Narcissa at dinner that he had finally settled everything.

According to Hallie's statistics, Lucius voluntarily relinquished his seat on the Malfoy family's board of trustees, and compensated the other school trustees with 1,000 gold galleons for each family to make up for the loss caused by the decision he initiated to remove Dumbledore from the headmaster.

In addition, Lucius provided Fudge with 20,000 gold galleons in political aid, and donated a large amount of money to several well-known organizations in the wizarding world, including St. Mungo's Hospital for the Injured and Wounded and Wounded and the Anti-Dark Arts Alliance.

Lucius even had dinner at his estate with many members of the Wizengamot and the patriarchs of the pure-blood family.

After all this was done, the matter of Terrance Higgs being attacked became less important.

Obviously, Draco was angry because of Terrance Higgs spreading unfavorable remarks about him, and as a result, he chose to buy dark magic items and actively attack Higgs.

But in the end, Lucius said that it was Lockhart who took control of Draco, which made all of this.

As for Malfoy, he was a good innocent boy who didn't make any mistakes.

In the end, the Higgs not only did not ask for compensation, but also publicly apologized to the Malfoy family in the pure-blood circle for tarnishing the Malfoys' reputation.

According to Dobby, the patriarch of the Higgs family came straight to the door and was humiliated by Lucius.

Anyway, the two families have already torn their faces for the honor of the family, and Lucius naturally will not give up the opportunity to beat the water dogs.

"That's politics!" Hallie sighed in her heart,

"It's a pity that Dorcus is more useful than me, otherwise he would have shaken out the incident of Lucius dropping Horcruxes into Hogwarts, and Lucius would be dead.

The Higgs family was also unlucky, with the death of an Auror and the attack on their sole heir, only to apologize in the end. ”

After Harley finished reading the information, she sorted it out and stuffed it back into her bag.
