Harrie had hoped that the Delacour sisters would come to stay overnight, but she soon regretted her decision.

Gabrielle, a little girl who has just turned eight, is really energetic and very hilarious.

She was always asking questions, and even if the water ran into her mouth during the shower, it didn't stop her from continuing to talk afterwards.

It wasn't until almost twelve o'clock in the evening that Hallie managed to fall asleep.

The next day, when Harley had breakfast, she was still yawning and looking very tired.

Fleur apologized for this, and quickly dragged Gabrielle away.

Although the little girl tried to stay one more night, she was ruthlessly suppressed.

……

Over the next week, Hallie and her professors developed a plan for the second round.

When entering the Enchanted Garden to collect materials, the most important thing is to make sure that you have enough materials to make a potion.

There are no magical animals in the Enchanted Garden, at most there are some ordinary mosquitoes or small animals, so this greatly reduces the scope of potions.

Based on these two points, Harley quickly selected several potions.

The spare potions are the Shrinking Elixir and the Sober Elixir, and the main ingredients required for these two potions, the Wrinkled Fig and the Sober Grass, are not particularly rare.

Professor Slughorn also told Harley that the two plants could be found on the outskirts of an area of the Enchanted Garden.

Their auxiliary materials are even more common, and some are not even magical plants, but common wildflowers on the roadside, such as daisies that are needed in shrinking potions.

However, the shrinking potion is a little more troublesome, and it also requires the spleen of a mouse and the juice of a locust.

These two common creatures definitely exist in the Enchanted Garden, but they are more troublesome to catch, and it is even more delicate to extract the spleen or juice.

Moreover, if Harley had chosen these two potions, the score would not have been particularly high.

After all, these two potions are not very difficult, and Hogwarts will choose to teach students how to boil them in the fourth or fifth year.

The first target potion that Harley prepared was the Illusion Elixir, an advanced potion that many potions masters couldn't brew.

The main ingredient of this potion is the fresh leaves of the Phantom Flower and the Shadow Tree, both of which are valuable and endangered plants.

Although these two plants are also present in the Enchanted Garden, they are both in deep depths.

It takes a long time and a lot of effort to find them.

But Hallie has developed a new method and replaced it with the more common Phantom Grass.

Harley was confident that she would be able to get a very high score when she brewed a new version of the illusion potion.

The biggest problem now is how to deal with the Phantom Grass in a short period of time.

After all, Hallie's original method of dealing with it took a lot of time.

Although she had already had a prototype of a plan to deal with Phantom Grass in a short period of time some time ago, she had not yet been able to form a systematic way.

It took Harley three days to decide on a plan that would be 100% successful.

Harley didn't do anything other than spend time at Professor Slughorn's house, focusing on potions.

This disappointed the rest of the magic schools and some of the Potions Masters, who wanted to visit Harley for various purposes.

Ten days is not a short time, but it is not a long time.

After the first round, on the morning of the eleventh day.

All the contestants gathered in the square again and sat in their assigned positions.

The contestants wore brand new school uniforms issued by the Extraordinary Pharmacists Association, in order to prevent someone from sneaking in some hard-to-find materials.

Someone had done this before, but he was very unlucky enough to meet a natural dementor.

After that, there was an additional rule in the competition: the clothes must be uniformly worn in the clothes issued by the Association of Extraordinary Pharmacists.

At the same time, because many magic plants are extremely fragile, it is not possible to use monitoring magic on a large scale to watch the process of the contestants searching for materials.

So the referees had no choice but to apply positioning magic on the school uniforms to ensure that if a student was in danger, they could provide timely rescue.

However, the trinket didn't seem to be in their range, so no one paid attention to it when Harley appeared with the white silk gloves.

"The second round is about to begin." From the bench, President Hector said, "I'll repeat the rules one last time.

You will have ten hours to enter the Enchanted Garden to search for materials and make a potion from them.

The International Confederation of Wizards has arranged patrols in the Enchanted Gardens to ensure that your lives are not in danger.

In case of irresistible danger, red sparks can be fired into the sky.

However, this also means that the player's journey to find materials is officially over, and he can only use the potion materials he has already collected.

In addition, I would like to conclude by warning everyone that attacks against each other are prohibited.

While we can't monitor with magic, if a player claims to have been attacked, we'll use a flashback charm to check your wand.

Now I announce, the game is on! ”

The tip of President Hector's wand shot a golden firework into the sky, and the contestants quickly left their seats and headed for the entrance to the Enchanted Garden at the end of the plaza.

Harry and Fleur entered the entrance together, and then they separated.

On the one hand, the two belong to different schools, and on the other hand, Harley and Fleur are both proud witches.

Hallie has always been very confident in her own strength, and she doesn't think that she needs companions for such a simple task.

And Fleur refuses to join forces with Harley.

She doesn't look down on the entire Beauxbatons students, which is why she has such a close connection with Hallie, and even hopes that the only rivals and friends she can value can come to Beauxbatons to go to school.

So Fleur's pride led her into the Enchanted Garden alone.

After entering the forest, Harley leaped into the tree and landed lightly, and her school uniform was transformed into a light tracksuit.

Like a ghost, Hallie quickly shuttled from branch to branch, searching for the materials she needed.

The perimeter of the Enchanted Garden was full of tall trees, and Harley felt like she was back in the Forbidden Forest.

Obviously, most of the material here is plain material, which doesn't meet Harry's needs at all.

Harry's destination is the swamp area and the snow area in the Enchanted Garden, which is far away from the gate to enter the Enchanted Garden, and the ice and snow area is to the east of the swamp area.

The Phantom Grass that Harley needs is best used to grow in swampy areas, and the variety of plants needed to deal with Phantom Grass grows in snow, ice, and swamp areas.

If Harley hadn't been confident enough in her speed, she wouldn't have chosen this potion at all.

The environment in the swampy area is very harsh. There aren't many trees here and the roads are very bad.

While the Extraordinary Pharmacists Association has explored dozens of safe routes and marked them.

However, based on common sense, it is speculated that the high-quality phantom grass that has matured in these places must have been picked early.

So there is a high probability that it will go deep into the swamp.

As she had guessed, when Harley came to the edge of the swamp, she silently watched the safe route marked by the Extraordinary Apothecary Society.

There are indeed some phantom grasses on both sides of the road, but they are not of high quality, or they are congenitally defective, or they are not yet mature.
