"Do I need to use the Blessing Potion?" Harry hesitated. The golden bottle had been lingering in his mind for some time. Some vague and shapeless thoughts were brewing in the depths of his mind. He would only be aware of them when he was half awake or in a dream …
For example, if Ginny and Dean broke up, everyone would be happy to see that she had a new boyfriend.
A boyfriend that everyone could accept and support. A boyfriend who could be accepted and supported by Weasley and his wife and Ginny's brothers. A boyfriend who was close to her and watched her grow up but suddenly began to pay attention to her. A boyfriend who could give her a warm embrace like her brother. A boyfriend who was Harry Potter …
Well, the new boyfriend of Ginny was Harry himself.
Harry felt that it was too difficult to rely on his own efforts to confess to Ginny. He needed the help of the Blessing Potion.
Just like the compound decoction could help Ron relieve stress, the potion could sometimes produce wonderful effects.
Some effects that could only be achieved with the help of magic potions and could never be achieved by ordinary magic, such as making people luckier, making it easier to find love, changing a person into another person, changing the appearance of a boy into a girl, and so on.
Harry originally intended to use the Blessing Potion at this time, but it was also important to get the memory from Slughorn.
After getting a positive answer from Elwyn, he weighed it and finally nodded.
"Well, I'll bring some Blessing Potion in the afternoon if I really need it."
In the afternoon Potions class, all the students who had reached the age of seventeen by April 21st had gone to take the phantasmagoric exam, so the large underground classroom was empty. There were only four students: Elvin, Harry, Ernie, and Draco Malfoy.
"You haven't reached the phantom age yet?" Slughorn asked amiably. "You haven't reached the age of seventeen yet?"
The three of them nodded. Elwyn naturally didn't need the majority, he wasn't even sixteen years old yet.
Harry, Ernie, and Malfoy were all born between the end of April and September. They were the youngest among the sixth-graders taking Slughorn's Potions class, because those who were not 11 years old by the first of September would be enrolled in the next school year.
"Alright then." Slughorn said cheerfully. "Since there are so few of us, let's not study according to the textbook. Let's do something fun. I want each of you to give me something fun!"
"That sounds wonderful, sir," Ernie said flatteringly, rubbing his hands.
Malfoy, however, did not smile. He asked irritably, "What do you mean, 'interesting' things?"
"Oh, just give me a surprise." Slughorn replied casually. "Whatever, any potion will do. Whatever you're best at or want to make. Hmm, it'd be best if it's a formula that you've improved yourself, something that I find interesting."
Malfoy opened his Advanced Potions Making course with a gloomy face. It was obvious from his expression that he thought this course was a waste of time and effort. He was undoubtedly stingy with the time he could have spent in the House of Granted Requests.
Harry kept staring at Malfoy, and Malfoy glared back at Harry in disgust.
He now knew for sure that it was Harry and Ron who had turned into the two girls last time. No, it was Gall and Crabbe who had tried to get information from him. They knew that Harry had found out that he was secretly doing something bad in the House of Granted Requests.
Perhaps this made him anxious, or maybe he was under a lot of pressure like Ron, because he now looked as thin as Tonks.
His skin had become paler, with a dark gray hue.
Of course, this might be because he had not been exposed to the sun these days.
Repairing the Vanishing Cabinet in the storeroom was not an easy task, especially since the process involved a lot of magic that was beyond Malfoy's current level. He also had to face the pressure from Lord Voldemort, so his progress was not smooth.
Elwyn could clearly feel this from Malfoy. Perhaps he also needed some compound potions to relieve his stress.
With this in mind, Elwyn decided to make a compound potion, one that he had improved.
Because of his frequent use, compound potions were the potions that Elwyn made the most, and he had done a lot of research and improvement.
A normal compound potion would take 21 days to brew. After many attempts, Elwyn found that using the saliva of an African tree snake and ordinary python skin instead of the skin of an African tree snake could speed up the brewing time and make it in an extreme amount of time.
This way, the compound potion would last only about one to three minutes, but the brewing process would be much simpler and faster.
Elwyn called this new compound potion Transformation Potion, and he was going to promote it in Fred and George's shop. This Transformation Potion might not be suitable for long-term camouflage, but it could be used for pranks or other entertainment purposes.
Elwyn decided to make a Transformation Potion. He believed that Slughorn would be surprised.
Next to him, Harry also opened his Advanced Potion Making and found a potion called Euphoric Potion that had been modified a lot by the Half-Blood Prince. It not only seemed to meet Slughorn's requirements, but if he could taste a little of it, it might make him happy and make him hand over his memories.
That was what the description said, and Harry hoped so too. That way, he wouldn't have to use the Happiness Potion later.
If it really worked, Harry could use the precious Happiness Potion on other things that he wanted more.
Sure enough, an hour and a half later, Slughorn was amazed by the potion that Elwyn and Harry had made.
"Ah, it looks wonderful." He first came to Harry's side, stared at the golden liquid in the crucible, and clapped his hands. "Happiness Potion, isn't it? Wait, what's that smell? Well, you added a little peppermint, didn't you? It's not orthodox, but it's such a genius inspiration, Harry. Of course, it can offset the occasional side effects of singing too much and pinching your nose. I really don't know where you got these wonderful ideas, my child, unless … "
Harry hurriedly stuffed the Half-Blood Prince's textbook deep into his schoolbag with his foot, so that Slughorn wouldn't see it.
"Your mother's genes are showing in you, it must be!"
"Maybe …" Harry breathed a sigh of relief.
"Well, let's see what Elwyn has made." Maybe it was because of the Happiness Potion, but Slughorn was obviously in high spirits. He came to Elwyn's side and stared at his crucible. "Well, this kind of bubbles, this kind of color, oh my God, is this a compound soup? Impossible, only an hour and a half has passed. It's impossible to brew a compound soup. "
"You can try, Professor!" Elwyn said and threw a strand of his hair into the crucible.
