Do you believe in the existence of luck?
Do you think you're a lucky person?
Not everyone believed in luck, but they couldn't deny that there would always be many unexpected things in life.
From the moment they were born, everyone faced countless uncertainties until they finally returned to the embrace of death.
Some changes will make things better for you, and some will make things worse.
The probability of encountering good or bad things was luck.
The whole class listened attentively to Slughorn, their eyes fixed on the golden liquid in the crucible.
In a sense, the Elixir of Blessing was a very nature-defying potion.
Since there was no way to deny the existence of luck, people had been studying how to make themselves luckier throughout the ages.
Everyone had their own way to increase their luck, such as choosing numbers, colors, patterns, and so on with special meanings.
Whether it was among Muggle or wizards, this was very common. The reason for the birth of prophecy and divination was the same. Wizards hoped to use magic to foresee the illusory future, so that they could make the right choice and ward off evil.
No matter what method they used, there would be a lot of uncertainties, and it might not work.
Luck and the future were the same, and they were never certain things.
But with the Elixir of Blessing, luck was no longer illusory.
It became something that could be improved. Taking the Elixir of Blessing would make people luckier and encounter good things.
This was a nature-defying potion. To some extent, it could even change a person's life.
Making a "lucky" choice at a critical moment could change the situation dramatically.
The Elixir of Blessing was a potion that could make you luckier, a potion that could change your life and the future.
"Professor, have you ever taken this potion?" Michael Kohner asked with great interest.
"Yes, I've taken it twice in my life," Slughorn said, staring into the distance in a trance. A nostalgic expression appeared on his face. "Once when I was 24, and the other time when I was 57. I took two spoonfuls for breakfast, and those two days were perfect! Believe me, that's life. It was a feeling of having everything under control, and no matter what you do, you'll succeed … "
His voice was full of nostalgia. Whether he was acting or not, the effect was very tempting.
"Alright, alright!" Slughorn seemed to have returned to reality and said, "Let's continue with the class. By the way, I've decided to make it the prize for this class. I must remind you that this kind of medicine is almost impossible to buy in the outside world, so this is a rare opportunity!
The classroom was silent. The bubbling and boiling sounds of the potions seemed to be amplified tenfold.
"A small bottle of Blessing Potion!" Slughorn took out a small glass bottle with a cork from his pocket and held it up for the class to see. "It can bring you good luck for 12 hours, from dawn to dusk. No matter what you do, you'll be lucky. However, I must remind you that the use of Blessing Elixir is prohibited in organized competitions, such as sports competitions, examinations, campaigns, and so on. Therefore, the person who received the prize could only use it on a normal day and wait to see how unusual that normal day would be! I promise you that day will be unforgettable. "
The Blessing Elixir only made people luckier to a certain extent and made things go in a good direction. It didn't mean that as long as you took it, you would succeed no matter what you did. For example, Malfoy's assassination of Dumbledore, or Harry's assassination of Lord Voldemort, these were destined to fail. No matter how much Blessing Elixir was drunk, it wouldn't have any effect.
Even so, the effect that Slughorn wanted had been achieved, and everyone became interested in the Blessing Elixir.
They were also interested in his class and how to get this small bottle of Blessing Elixir.
To be honest, Elwyn wasn't too interested in this small bottle of potion. The key was that he could brew it himself.
The most difficult part of making the Blessing Elixir wasn't the complicated process, but the collection of raw materials. Some of the herbs were very rare and couldn't be bought with money. Often, when they appeared on the market, they would be bought at a high price, and people would rather collect and store them.
This wasn't a problem for Elwyn. Don't forget, Keresis had robbed Snape's herb storeroom and given everything to him.
Although Snape didn't look like he was very rich, he wasn't careless when it came to potions and raw materials …
And looking at the current situation, Elwyn felt that he was very lucky. The things that he wanted to change couldn't be affected by the Blessing Elixir.
If Snape's textbook was really effective, then Harry should be the one to get this small bottle of potion. This was what Elwyn was really concerned about. Getting a book of Snape's research notes on potions was much more valuable than the Blessing Elixir.
"So!" Slughorn said excitedly, his eyes sweeping across every student. "How can I win this wonderful prize of mine? Alright, please turn to the tenth page of 'Advanced Potion Making'. We still have more than an hour. Use this time to brew a Living Hell Potion. I know that this is more complicated than anything you've ever done before, and I don't expect anyone to brew a perfect potion. However, the person who does the best will win this small bottle of Blessing Elixir. Alright, let's begin! "
As soon as he finished speaking, there was an ear-piercing scraping sound. Everyone pulled the crucible in front of them, and then there was the clanking sound of the weights being placed on the scales. No one spoke. The students were all highly focused, and it was as if they could reach out and touch it.
Elwyn handled his sleeping beans unhurriedly, while paying attention to Harry's movements.
Unlike the others, he frowned as he looked at the tattered textbook, looking very puzzled.
On Elwyn's left, Hermione's movements were much faster than usual.
It was obvious that she wanted that small bottle of Blessing Elixir. This year's Christmas present would be settled!
Hermione's birthday was September 19th. Considering the time needed to brew the Blessing Elixir before that date, it would probably be too late. He could only save it for Christmas. As for the birthday present, Elwyn could give Hermione himself. For example, he could turn into a cat and hide under her blanket, giving her a surprise or something …
