Hermione received the Powerful Potion the next morning, and Elwyn mailed out the list of materials needed at noon.
That night, they gathered in the girls' bathroom on the third floor. Myrtle, who was not crying, was quiet in the bathroom. Iven looked around and saw a small snake on the side of a copper faucet in the cubicle.
"That faucet is broken, and there's never any water."
Hermione turned the thick Powerful Potion to the page on the compound soup and checked the herbs she had just received against the formula.
"This is the most complicated potion I've ever seen." She murmured, pointing at the list of ingredients one by one. "Grass beetle, leech, liquid grass, and two-ear grass. There's also a powdered horn of a bicornis, and a piece of snakeskin from an African tree snake."
"God, Elwyn, how much did you spend to get these things? They're not cheap!"
"Three hundred gold coins. That's all the money the newspaper has earned recently." Elwyn shrugged. "I was going to use the money to buy a Christmas present for each staff member of the newspaper. I've even thought of what to buy, but now I've changed it all to these herbs."
"You mean these things are worth three hundred gold coins?!" Ron swallowed.
"That's right." Elwyn was a little distressed.
"Well, we already have all the necessary materials to make the compound soup. In addition to these, we also need something from the person we want to transform into. "
"I'm sorry." Ron said sharply, "What do you mean? What do you mean by 'something from the person we want to transform into'? If Crabbe's toenails are in it, I'll never drink it! "
Hermione seemed not to hear him and continued, "We don't have to worry about that now. Those things will be put in at the end."
Ron turned to Harry speechlessly. Harry didn't look too good either.
"The question now is, how long will it take to decoct these potions?" Elwyn asked.
"Yes, the fastest it will take is twenty days. This is the shortest time needed to cook the Grass Demon Worm."
"Twenty days?!" Ron said, "It'll be Christmas by then. I dare say that Malfoy will seize the opportunity to knock down half of the Muggle in school."
"Then what good ideas do you have?" Hermione slammed the book shut and narrowed her eyes at Ron.
"I think the house-elf who has been looking for trouble with Harry has a good idea. Find a chance to beat up Malfoy and let him go home and lie in bed until the end of the semester." Seeing Hermione looking at him angrily, Ron's voice became softer and softer.
"That won't do. We can't be sure that Malfoy did it." Elwyn shook his head. "Besides, we've already bought the materials. We have no way out now."
"You're right, Elwyn!"
Seeing that Hermione was about to lose her temper, Ron hurriedly agreed. "It's shameful to waste gold coins, but please don't use your toenails. Is that okay?"
The few of them discussed again. After making sure that they didn't miss anything, they split up and started preparing the materials according to the recipe. [Love ↑ Go △ Little ↓ Say △ Net w

Time passed slowly. The atmosphere in the school was still tense.
Elwyn was asked by Lockhart to stay after a Defense against Dark Magicians class.
He had just been asked by Lockhart to act as a Himalayan Snowman with a nose cold. This was a new teaching activity that Lockhart had recently started. He was looking for students to cooperate with him and act out some dramatic scenes from his book.
"Elwyn, your performance just now was amazing. That was how I scared the Himalayan Snowman away. I saved an entire village."
"I'm glad to be able to help you, Professor."
Elwyn asked uncertainly. "Is there anything else? The next class is Professor Meg's transformation class. I better not be late."
"It's like this." Lockhart revealed his signature smile. "Due to the current tense situation in the school, I hope to start a duel club."
"Duel club?!"
"That's right. You know that I have more experience in dealing with evil than the other professors in the school," Lockhart boasted. "I'm not boasting, but I don't mind passing on my experience to everyone to help you increase your combat power."
"That's a great idea. What do you need me to do?"
"I'll put this news on the bulletin board. You just need to help me publicize it in the newspaper. It's that simple."
Lockhart hoped to put this news on the front page but not publish his name. He said that this was to maintain a sense of mystery and give everyone a surprise. Elwyn laughed bitterly. This was really shocking.
What could Lockhart teach everyone? How to turn bones into nothing?!
But thinking that there was really nothing worth publicizing recently, he agreed to Lockhart's request without hesitation. Perhaps this was a chance to use the influence of the duel club to recover the decreasing newspaper sales.
As expected, the news of the school starting a duel club attracted the interest of the young wizards.
In the latest issue of the newspaper, Elwyn placed a big question mark. Below it was a list of potential teachers for the duel club, their evaluation of their strength and past achievements. After a lot of publicity, the sales of this issue of Hogwarts Magic Newspaper returned to its peak before the second attack.
Under Elwyn's intentional guidance, most people thought that the duel club's teacher would be Professor Dumbledore.
This was simply too shocking. After all, ever since the fall of Lord Voldemort, Professor Dumbledore had not used magic in public for many years.
Not to mention the excited young wizards, many adult wizards and students' parents who had subscribed to Hogwarts Magic Newspaper hoped to be able to come to the school to observe. They had the chance to learn a few tricks from the greatest light Magus of the current generation. Just the thought of it was enough to excite them.
The chief editor of the Daily Prophet, Gufei Xinsheng, immediately wrote a letter to express his willingness to send someone to interview the opening of the duel club.
However, he was rejected by the school, which made all the students even more curious. Most of them thought that the possibility of Professor Dumbledore taking action was very high.
Due to Elwyn's publicity, the duel club, which was originally planned to be held in a small underground classroom, had no choice but to be held in the main hall due to the overwhelming number of applicants.
At 8pm on Wednesday night, the students returned to the common room after dinner. After a short break, they hurried back to the hall. The long dining table disappeared, and a gilded stage appeared along one of the walls, illuminated by hundreds of floating candles.
The ceiling became as dark as velvet once again. The whole school had come.
Elwyn, who knew the truth of the matter, was dragged here from the library by Corin and Ginny. In their words, they hoped that Elwyn could teach them how to defend against magic spells. All the first-year students knew that Elwyn's level of magic spells was the best among his peers.
Everyone was squeezing each other, holding their own magic wands, their faces full of excitement.
"When will the headmaster come? What do you think he will teach us?"
"Don't be silly, Ron!"
Due to the surrounding chatter, Hermione had to raise her voice. "It can't be Professor Dumbledore. He hasn't fought for many years. Besides, if it's him, there's no need to be so mysterious. He himself is the biggest gimmick. "
"If it's not Dumbledore, then who could it be?"
"Someone told me that Flick was a duel champion when he was young. Maybe he's going to teach us," Hermione said with uncertainty.
"Elwyn definitely knows. That article was written by him?"
Harry and Ron quickly turned to look at Elwyn. Nearby, Corin, Ginny, and Neville also looked at him expectantly.
"Don't look at me like that. I thought you'd understand when you saw this publicity method!"
"Wait, are you talking about …"
Before Harry could finish his sentence, he groaned. Gidrol Lockhart walked onto the stage. He was wearing a magenta robe, looking radiant.
"That's right, it's him!" Elwyn held his forehead weakly. "Also, Professor Lockhart seems to have brought a special guest tonight."
The lively atmosphere in the auditorium suddenly froze. The chatter completely disappeared. Everyone saw that the person beside Lockhart was no ordinary person.
