Chapter 195 Potions and Transfiguration
That night, Mrs. Granger prepared a sumptuous dinner, and Locke could tell that she had put a lot of effort into it.

"I recently adopted two house-elves, and I plan to do some potion business. I have already applied to the Ministry of Magic, and it will take some time for the approval to be completed."

Locke casually said something about the wizarding world, because he found that the Grangers were very interested in it.

After knowing the funds that Locke spent for this, he was even more surprised by Locke's financial resources.

"The magic world is indeed amazing. I'm curious about what house elves look like. I heard that there are dragons and phoenixes, but we didn't have the chance to see them. It's a pity." Mr. Granger sighed.

"That's right." Madam Granger sighed, she was full of curiosity about the wizarding world, otherwise she would not have accepted Hermione so easily to a strange environment.

The three chatted for a while, and Mr. Granger cleared his throat: "Mr. Locke, I just received a letter from Hermione. I am very glad that you value Hermione's talent. If possible, we would be happy to invite you to be Hermione's friend." godfather."

"It's my honor." Locke agreed with a smile.

He knew what the Grangers were thinking. Through communication with Hermione during this period of time, they also learned about the cruelty of the wizarding world, and the discrimination against Muggle-born wizards by those pure-blood families in the wizarding world.

And the help they can provide is limited. Now that Locke can provide help, they are naturally willing to draw in the relationship between the two parties.

After that, the atmosphere of the whole meal improved a lot, and after becoming Hermione's godfather, Locke taught Hermione the method of meditation after signing a confidential soul contract with Hermione.

"This is really amazing, Godfather. You must know that the known methods to enhance magic power are to constantly practice magic spells and passively improve. There has never been a method that can directly enhance magic power."

Hermione, who had tried the meditation method, said excitedly: "With this discovery alone, you can become the greatest wizard of this century. Godfather, why didn't you announce it, but kept it a secret."

"Except for some false names, what benefits can it bring by publishing it?" Locke shrugged:

"On the contrary, if we keep it secret, this is our advantage over other wizards, which will bring more substantial benefits. Many wizard families have their own inherited spells, and they will not be announced to share with everyone.

This is the same as a patent. Only when you can use it yourself can you bring the most benefits. "

"Indeed." Hermione nodded. When she sees new things, she always has a steady stream of energy, just like now, after trying meditation, she said that she still needs to practice spells and preview her homework.

Hermione felt that Locke had high expectations of herself, and she didn't want to live up to this expectation, and she actually liked learning and researching magic.

This made Locke think of Peggy, since the last time she was kidnapped by Lorraine Broughton, Locke changed his mind and began to teach her some magic.

Peggy's talent is also very strong, and her destructive power is higher. When she tried magic for the first time, she directly blew a big hole in the floor. When Locke taught her to call fire, she almost set her house on fire.

As for Hermione, Locke will specially select magic books suitable for him to learn, and add some extra courses to her in addition to the daily courses.

At the same time, Locke also tried to guide her to devote more energy to Potions. After all, in this regard, she showed a super talent in the plot.

However, it was very difficult to get started at the beginning, especially since there was no one to guide them, and the potion was simply refined according to the textbook, and the success rate was extremely low.

After wasting a lot of materials, Hermione also felt a little embarrassed, and planned to ask the Potions professor for more advice before trying slowly.

In terms of potion knowledge, Locke actually knew a little bit, and some of it was learned from the queen, but he also lacked practice and could not provide much help to Hermione.

Because in Locke's view, these measurement units on the formula are too unfriendly.

What is some, what is a little, what is a small amount, what is a large amount, Locke felt his brain buzzing after reading it, what kind of ancient method is this, it is not scientific at all.

And Snape seemed to have some prejudice against Hermione, who was often with Harry Potter in class, and was not very enthusiastic about her advice.

With this in mind, Locke, through Tom, the owner of the Leaky Cauldron, as an intermediary, hired a wizard who had passed his Potions exam.

This wizard named Kate really wanted to develop better in potion science, but couldn't find a suitable job.

The existing potion shops all have fixed partners and magic apprentices, and if there is no guarantee from the potion shop, no one will buy potions from him.

The production of potions is very demanding, and a little mistake in the middle may turn the harmless potion into a highly poisonous substance.

Therefore, most wizards would rather spend a little more money and go to a special potion shop, and would not buy potions from a lesser-known potion master.
If Locke hadn't found him through Tom, it might not be long before he would go back to inherit the garage in his home and return to the life of ordinary people.

Although it is only for the time being to teach potion knowledge, Locke also promised that if he really proves his strength, he will be hired to work in the potion shop after Locke's potion shop passes the application, and he will be offered a generous salary.

Now Locke is very busy every day, and now he is mainly studying Transfiguration.

Transfiguration is a magic that uses magic power to change the structure of an object, thereby changing the appearance and shape of the object. It has only seven spells.

Ordinary Transfiguration, Body Transfiguration, Reverse Transfiguration, Transformation Charm, Cross Species Transformation Charm, Vanishing Charm, Summoning Charm.

These mantras are very short to say, but it takes a lifetime to study, learn and refine.

The transformation spell can easily complete the transformation of matter. The magic that Locke learned before also has this aspect, but most of them are related to matter.

As long as you understand the composition of the material base, you can transform it through the transformation spell, just like in the Sorcerer's Apprentice movie, Balthazar easily turned an old car into a sports car.

It seems to have the same effect as the transformation spell, but the principle and process are still different.

In addition to ordinary material conversion, the transformation spell in the world of Harry Potter can also transform living things, which is even more magical.

Don't look at the magician's apprentices, there are some magics that can make sculptures come alive, but they are actually just activation techniques, using magic to temporarily give these substances some biological characteristics, rather than permanently changing their properties.

At least before, Locke couldn't transform into a real creature by using the transformation technique.

The complexity of organisms is much higher than that of ordinary matter. Using the original method, Locke at least needs to master all the knowledge related to understanding the genes of the corresponding organisms.

This knowledge is still in Locke's blind spot, but in the world of Harry Potter, the same effect can be achieved through corresponding magical words and languages.

Locke guessed that this was the effect of the magic words contained in the magic spell, or the magic runes, but Locke's current knowledge of the relevant magic words was scattered.

Part of it is some of the knowledge collected in the fairy tale world, which involves some magic runes, and part of it is the current Harry Potter world, which is not very systematic, and Locke is still just getting started.
