Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

Chapter 224 Polyjuice Potion; disclosure of recipes and new ideas; unknown changes in the Forbidden Forest

After the Transfiguration get out of class.

The young wizards were all discussing with great interest who the heir of Slytherin was.

They are only second-year students, so only the second-year students are mentioned.

Ron expressed his opinion: "I checked Slytherin's information, and he is a pure-bloodist. Back then, he believed that Slytherin could only recruit pure-blood wizards, so this heir must come from a pure-blood family. "

Hermione thought for a while and looked at Draco: "I remember you said that there may not necessarily be a hundred pure-blood wizards in each grade."

Draco nodded, "Go back to Filch and ask for a list of students. You can find out just by looking at the last names."

He paused before speaking and suddenly stared at Harry: "Speaking of which, Harry, you are actually a pure-blood wizard as well."

Harry was stunned and said quickly: "No, it's impossible. My mother comes from a Muggle family."

Draco said: "So your mother is a wizard from a Muggle family, but your father Potter is an ancient noble. You are the combination of the descendants of two wizards. Logically speaking, you can be classified as pure blood." .

If parents need to be wizards for generations and there is no Muggle hybrid, that is impossible. Even the Malfoy family has a history of intermarriage with Muggles, but all the children born have wizard qualifications. "

Lin Xia heard that they cared so much about Slytherin's heir, so he simply suggested a way:

"We are from other houses. It's useless to guess here. Why don't you find a time to enter Slytherin and find out about the enemy?"

This method has been recognized by other friends.

They came to the laboratory and discussed mixing methods.

For Lin Xia, Draco and Hermione, it was not difficult for them to enter the Slytherin common room.

The reason is that all three of them are top students.

With the privilege of night patrol, there is no problem in sneaking in.

But if you enter during the night patrol time, the day lilies will be cold, and the little wizard will not appear during that time.

So they set the time in the afternoon, when most Slytherin students didn't have classes.

Lin Xia simply said: "Then choose a weekend to infiltrate. There is only one problem left."

The others looked at each other and said in unison: "How to blend in perfectly!"

Hermione, a know-it-all, quickly came up with an idea: "Polyjuice potion, we can temporarily knock out two Slytherin students and use their identities to sneak in!"

Harry and Ron looked confused, they didn't know what Polyjuice Potion was.

But Lin Xia and Draco knew that not only did they know, they also knew the formula of the polyjuice potion.

Lin Xia said: "It takes a month to make polyjuice potion unless you buy the finished product."

Hermione shook her head: "It's too expensive. It's better to use the laboratory funds to buy materials and make it yourself, if you can afford the time."

Lin Xia didn't know how long this matter would last, so he could only wait and see.

The next week passed peacefully.

During this period, Lin Xia and others made several batches of guardian buttons, and the papers they posted also received responses.

The Ancient Alchemists were very interested in their "Guardian Buttons" and tested them accordingly.

The test results are perfect, one guardian button is almost as powerful as 2-3 guardian charms!
And the guardian buttons are more beautiful than the guardian charms.

Maybe this invention meets the journal's requirements very well, and maybe it's because there are very few alchemy products related to the "Guardian Magic Text" recently.

In short, after just waiting for a week, they got a reply from "The Ancient Alchemist".

As soon as the journal wrote back, they told them they would publish the paper tomorrow.

Because they have already verified the power of the Guardian Button, and the verification of alchemical items is not that cumbersome, and there is no need to hold a special defense meeting to explain the principles.

In other words, as long as "The Ancient Alchemist" publishes this paper tomorrow, Lin Xia and others will automatically gain all the rights to "Guard the Button".

In fact.

After "The Ancient Alchemist" replied to this letter, Lin Xia and others had obtained all the rights of "Guardian Button" based on the content of the letter alone.

Without further ado, Lin Xia and others immediately approached Professor Sprout.

Although they can just ask Professor McGonagall, and McGonagall is still the vice-principal, as long as she agrees, the "Guardian Button" will soon be on the shelves of the grocery store.

But in the final analysis, Lin Xia, the leader of this experiment, is a Hufflepuff student.

If she goes to her dean, she can handle special matters faster.

In the greenhouse.

The mandrake planted by the dean has reached its second growth stage, and it only needs to survive one more stage before it can fully mature.

Several groups of people in the school are paying attention to the growth of mandrakes, which makes Professor Sprout dare not neglect them at all and personally attend to them every day.

When Lin Xia and others walked into the greenhouse, they could smell the unique fragrance of mandrake, with a slightly sticky and sweet taste.

Dean Sprout was extremely surprised when he heard the intention of Lin Xia and others.

She looked at Lin Xia and thought she was very powerful.

The dean said: "Little wizard, you are the most talented little wizard I have ever seen. I am proud that Hufflepuff has you. You don't seem to be from Hufflepuff."

Lin Xia smiled and said: "Dean, the four major colleges represent quality, not ability. I think I am in line with Hufflepuff's quality."

The dean said with a smile: "Yes, yes!"

She first read the reply from "The Ancient Alchemist", thought for a while, and said, "I can put your alchemy products on grocery stores, but there is a problem here. Can you ensure the supply of production capacity?"

The dean tactfully reminded: "Guardian charms have been very popular recently. The effect of the guardian buttons is even better than the guardian charms, but the price is not much more expensive. Once it is put on the shelves, there should be many people wanting to buy it."

Professor Sprout, this is hinting to them whether they are fully stocked.

Everyone looked at each other.

I originally thought that the professor would have to test the effect of the guardian buttons, so they brought several products over.

Who would have thought that the professor never mentioned the effect, but directly mentioned the core and fatal problem of production capacity.

Lin Xia said: "Professor, we are just four little wizards. We cannot spend 24 hours a day making guardian talismans, so I decided to open up the copyright of the guardian buttons so that people in the Alchemist Association can make guardian buttons. "

Dean Sprout was really shocked now.

"Are you sure?" She said quickly: "Lin Xia, I must consider this issue carefully. Once the copyright is opened, you will lose a lot of profits. Maybe you don't know the importance of the guardian magic text to the wizarding world."

She said tactfully: "Take a long-term view and don't limit yourself to Hogwarts. Other places also need products related to the Guardian Rune."

Lin Xia asked: "Dean, can you come up with a better method?"

She said thoughtfully: "I have considered that instead of cooperating with the nobles in the wizarding world and letting them become my agents, it would be better to make it a public paid download.

As long as each wizard pays a few gold coins, he can obtain the recipe for making the Guardian Button.

At the same time, for every guardian button sold, I can get 2%-5% of the sales share. For me, there will be no loss. "Of course it's good to cooperate with nobles.

The nobles can take care of many things, including publicity and production, allowing Lin Xia and others to receive a fixed sum of money every year.

But Lin Xia also discovered that the professor's attitude towards the guardian magic text was very different. This difference involved more than just interests.

It's something deeper that she can't touch yet.

After discovering that there was a deeper meaning, Lin Xia keenly did not want to cooperate with the nobles, but wanted to cooperate with the wizards in the wizarding world.

After hearing her plan, Dean Sprout hesitated for a moment.

She said: "You need to pay to download the production recipes, which is what you should do, but it is very, very, very difficult for the sales side to get a share."

She used several emphatic words in succession, "I can help you talk, but I can't guarantee that it will work."

The little wizard came out of the greenhouse.

Only then did their expressions become excited.

Their original idea was to get the production formula and pay for it. As for the sales share, it was mentioned casually, and no one thought it could be realized.

Unexpectedly, the professor was willing to help them negotiate!
Today is the weekend, and they plan to visit Hagrid and develop relationships with the animals in the hunting ground.

While Hermione was happy, she became worried: "We probably won't get any sales share."

Ron muttered: "It would be great if we could get a long-term share of the formula."

Lin Xia suddenly stopped, and an idea flashed in his mind.

Get the share for a long time?
Monthly VIP, annual VIP?

If there is more and more knowledge that people are willing to pay for, and it is updated every month, is it really possible to set up such a paid network that requires money every month?
As soon as this idea came to mind, Lin Xia found it interesting.

There’s a lot to be done!
Suddenly, she had the urge to make all her previously invented formulas public.

When she arrived at Hagrid's cabin, Lin Xia calmed down her thoughts.

The Guardian Button is quite special. It is originally a low-end product, and the technical barriers are not high. As long as a wizard who has studied alchemy can basically crack it.

So she took out the formula and sold it, no problem.

But magnetic wands and natural wands, including the later-invented youth facial soap and improved versions of scabies potion, are all different.

First of all, it is difficult to crack, so instead of making the formula public, it is better to use it to do business with nobles and get a share of every order.

However, although the formulas of these items cannot be disclosed, it does not mean that others cannot be disclosed!
If she could set up a network where everyone could communicate, such as the secret key for outstanding students and the secret key for alchemists, she would be willing to sort out some advanced knowledge and let everyone open a monthly VIP subscription and pay every month. Watch.

This is a bit like the model of a paid website.

"Lin Xia, Lin Xia!" Draco pushed Lin Xia, and Lin Xia came to her senses and took the rock cake handed by Hagrid.

There was a click.

She took a deep breath, feeling like her teeth were about to be chipped!
Everyone couldn't help laughing.

Hagrid even said: "You never fell into this trap before, why are you so absent-minded today?"

Lin Xia smiled: "I just thought of an interesting thing, but I don't have the knowledge to implement it yet. I will definitely implement it when conditions permit in the future."

Hagrid raised the wooden water cup: "I wish you success in advance!"

They chatted with Hagrid for a while, and learned some strange things about the Forbidden Forest from Hagrid.

“I don’t know why, but the magical creatures inside seem a bit irritable, and there have been several incidents of creatures viciously attacking each other.

Some magical creatures plan to move out of the Forbidden Forest, and they have been bidding farewell to me one after another in recent days. "

Hagrid looked a little sad when he mentioned this matter.

“They have been with me for many years, they are like my family and I really don’t want them to leave.

They told me that some unknown changes were taking place in the Forbidden Forest, and they felt extremely scared.

I can feel that they don't want to leave the Forbidden Forest, but they have no choice. "

Hermione frowned: "Didn't you go in and investigate?"

Hagrid took out a crumpled piece of cloth, sniffed, and said helplessly:
“I looked it up and I couldn’t find anything and I didn’t even know why they felt that way.

I once stayed in the Forbidden Forest for a night. Not only did I not find anything, I also slept extremely soundly. When I woke up the next day, I felt more energetic than ever.

Can you understand that feeling? I feel like I can stay up for three days and three nights. Some unknown changes have indeed taken place in the Forbidden Forest, but I think this is a good change. "

Lin Xia stopped drinking tea, lowered her head, and covered the darkness in her eyes.

Could it be that the vibrant things she once saw in the Forbidden Forest were those items that affected the Forbidden Forest?

Inexplicably, she thought of the countless magic stones flying out.

Lin Xia asked: "Have you reported the anomalies in the Forbidden Forest?"

Hagrid shook his head and became even more sad: "This is not an abnormality. Magical creatures leave the Forbidden Forest every year, and new magical creatures come in. How is this an abnormality?"

Precisely because he couldn't report anything, he could only watch his friends leave without being able to keep them.

In this regard, Lin Xia and others did not have any good suggestions.

After leaving Hagrid's hut, they came to the lawn outside Hogwarts and ran into seniors George and Fred.

George: "Dear Harry, he's still wandering around outside."

Fred: "He must not know that Wood has been looking for him all afternoon."

George: "He doesn't even know that we have been training all afternoon."

Fred: "Maybe he has forgotten that we are going to play Quidditch the day after tomorrow."

Harry was so excited that he quickly explained: "I remember last school year, two days before every Quidditch match, Senior Wood would give us a day off to let us rest!"

George: "That's the Wood of last school year, not the Wood of this school year."

Fred: "Wood has become even more terrifying. He is too thirsty for the championship. If he doesn't come back with a victory, I'm afraid every weekend in the future-"

George: "There are no more weekends!"

Everyone watched Harry rush to the playground to catch up on the missed training tonight alone.

But the better thing is that Senior Wood is still there, so he can keep an eye on Harry.

Not only that, Mikel and Neville are also there.

The others saw Harry going to practice and returned to Hogwarts first.
