Mastering Lightning from Hogwarts

However, Anduin didn't plan to consider the Baruffio's Brain Elixir and Veritaserum. The Baruffio's Brain Elixir had strict requirements for materials, and even a slight imperfection could damage the brain. The reason for not making Veritaserum was the same as for healing potions; what normal white wizard would need that?

That only left Euphoria Elixir and the Elixir of Everlasting Life to consider. The description of the Elixir of Everlasting Life stated that it was a potion that would never run out, but this wasn't entirely accurate. In Anduin's opinion, it was more like an additive.

Most potions, as long as you poured in the Elixir of Everlasting Life, would turn into the corresponding potion. For example, Veritaserum, as long as more than a quarter of the bottle remained, would turn into a full bottle of Veritaserum after adding the Elixir of Everlasting Life. Except for rare potions like Felix Felicis, the Elixir of Everlasting Life could perfectly replace them, and its effects were extremely long-lasting.

However, some of the ingredients in the Elixir of Everlasting Life were hard to obtain, and the off-campus price was also very expensive, making the cost a bit too high.

The Euphoria Elixir was also a potion with relatively high demand. It could make people feel happy after drinking it. During wartime, many wizards used this potion to relieve stress. However, the main ingredient, a complete Mandrake fruit, was also quite expensive off-campus.

"Wait," Anduin suddenly remembered something and turned to ask Hagrid, "Hagrid, I remember you told me last time that you saw a lot of Mandrake fruits in the Forbidden Forest that were about to ripen?"

"Uh, yeah, I did see a patch of Mandrakes while training in the Forbidden Forest before, and now is the time they're bearing fruit," Hagrid replied to Anduin after a burp.

After hearing Hagrid's confirmation, Anduin said, "Well, Hagrid, when are you planning to go into the Forbidden Forest next time? Can I go with you? I want to collect some Mandrake fruits for use."

As soon as Hagrid heard that Anduin wanted to enter the Forbidden Forest, he immediately shook his head and said, "No, the Forbidden Forest is very dangerous, this is no joke. If you get hurt in the Forbidden Forest, I won't be able to explain it to the school."

Then Hagrid thought for a moment and said, "If you just want Mandrake fruits, then I'll pick some for you next time. I don't feel comfortable with you running into the Forbidden Forest."

"Really? That's great, but it has to be the light purple, enchanted Mandrake fruits, and they have to be complete," Anduin couldn't help but rejoice when he heard that Hagrid was willing to help.

"Don't worry, I'm very familiar with the Forbidden Forest. I know what Mandrake fruits look like. I promise to get you a big basket next time you come," Hagrid confidently assured Anduin.

Seeing this, Anduin happily breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the ingredients for making the Euphoria Elixir were no problem. He thanked Hagrid again.

After settling one thing, Anduin chatted with Hagrid for a while before returning to the castle.

A few weeks later, Anduin looked at the large basket of Mandrake fruits that Hagrid brought out, which seemed to contain at least a dozen, and couldn't help but sigh. Hagrid was the real hidden rich man. He could take whatever he wanted from such a large Forbidden Forest. If Hagrid wanted to make money, he could make a fortune just by selling raw materials.

Anduin didn't take the basket of Mandrake fruits back to the dormitory because he definitely couldn't make potions in the dormitory, and it wasn't appropriate to sneak into the Potions classroom to make potions. Anduin planned to take the cauldron and tools directly to Hagrid's place to make them another day.

What he needed to do now was to memorize the potion-making process of the Euphoria Elixir, and master the screening and processing of the materials to ensure the success rate of potion-making.

With that thought in mind, Anduin opened the sixth-year textbook of the Potion Prince after returning to the dormitory. Anduin had seen the recipe for the Euphoria Elixir in this book, but he had only glanced at the recipe before and hadn't seriously looked at the material processing and precautions.

"Adding a small peppermint can significantly enhance the effect of the Euphoria Elixir? Really?" Anduin discovered that this 'Prince' liked to add his own things. He had drastically modified the processing methods and recipes of many materials in the textbook, which made Anduin quite interested in this 'Prince'. After thinking about it, he planned to try the 'Prince's' method when making potions.

After reading the content of the Euphoria Elixir, Anduin didn't stop. He found that this 'Half-Blood Prince' had a lot of insightful views on many potions, but he didn't know if it was just arrogant self-talk, so he prepared to start reading this textbook seriously from the beginning.

"Sectumsempra? This spell sounds very intimidating," Anduin found that this book not only contained a lot of notes on potions, but also recorded a spell.

"Is it a finished spell or a semi-finished spell, or simply fabricated? It's a bit dangerous to cast this spell at will," Anduin didn't plan to try this spell for the time being. Before figuring out the details of this 'Prince', it was better not to touch such unfamiliar things. What if this so-called 'Prince' was a psychopath? Then this one spell might take him away.

Soon, it was another weekend. Anduin packed the cauldron, auxiliary materials, tools, and glass bottles needed to make potions. He also brought some peppermint and the sixth-year textbook, and went to Hagrid's hut again.

Entering November, the weather at Hogwarts gradually began to change from cool to cold. The students on campus also put on winter clothes. Many students suffered from the flu due to the weather changes. The small frictions between Slytherin and Gryffindor were still numerous, which caused the house points of the two houses to be deducted a lot, but none of this affected Anduin.

Walking on the path, Anduin pondered that the potions he made could not only be sold, but also be used as Christmas gifts. While Anduin was planning, he soon arrived at Hagrid's hut.

Outside the hut, the green onions planted by Anduin were growing very well. It seemed that Hagrid also took the time to help him take care of them. He should give Hagrid two bottles of potions.

At the same time, a stone stove was newly built outside the house. The large iron pot that Anduin had ordered fit perfectly on it. Anduin couldn't help but rejoice when he saw it, "It seems that the large pot has arrived."

After entering the house, Hagrid was also very happy to see him and said, "How about the stove I built outside the house? It's not bad, right? What good things shall we make with that big pot later?"

"Don't worry, I came early today on purpose, just to borrow your place to make some potions. Let's talk about it after I'm done," Anduin said with amusement, seeing that Hagrid was eager to eat dinner just after noon.

After saying that, Anduin put the materials and potion-making tools on Hagrid's large wooden table and prepared to start. He also asked Hagrid to help keep an eye out, because Anduin had taken a lot of materials from the greenhouse, and the glass potion bottles for storing potions were also taken from the Potions classroom, which made him feel a bit guilty.
