Hogwarts starts with stealing power.
Chapter 498 High-frequency Thought Resonance: Only Status but No Effect
Although Ron and Harry resisted the temptation this time, the other young wizards did not have such strong willpower.
In just one night, the [Wisdom Potion] sold by the Weasley twins was sold out!
Even though there was an exam the next day, many little wizards came to them midway, hoping to buy a bottle of [Wisdom Potion].
Young wizards all have a herd mentality. They may not necessarily use what they buy, but they will definitely buy it.
George and Fred had to take some time out at noon to go to Hagrid's cabin and buy Billywig worms from Hagrid again.
Hagrid was surprised to see the two of them coming, and couldn't help asking: "If I remember correctly, you have an exam today, so you've finished it?"
George and Fred shook their heads at the same time.
George said, "I just took two exams this morning, and I have two more in the afternoon. Tomorrow's exams will all be electives."
Fred: "We're going to take the test two days in a row."
Hagrid was puzzled: "If you have an exam, why are you in the Forbidden Forest?"
George: "We also want to buy Billywig worms from you."
Fred added: "We've been obsessed with research lately, and this research requires a lot of Billywig worms."
Hagrid had sold a batch to the twins before, and within a day they came to him for a second batch.
In principle, Hagrid cannot give it, and all resources related to the Forbidden Forest cannot be sold casually.
But this batch of Billywig worms is different. They were raised by young wizards, so they are not considered assets of the Forbidden Forest.
Hagrid thought for a while and asked suspiciously, "What kind of research are you doing? Are you using the Billywig worm as a cover to get something else from me? I always feel like you are hiding something from me."
"Of course not, we were just experimenting with Billywig worms!" the twins denied.
George: "Don't worry, Hagrid. Our research is very careful and nothing will go wrong."
Hagrid raised his hand doubtfully: "So you really are going to do research on it?"
Fred: "Yes, our latest research happens to be related to Billywig worms."
Ever since they developed the [Potion of Wisdom], the little wizard has developed a great passion for the potion of wisdom.
Not everyone in Hogwarts has a bottle, but among the lower grades, one in three people has a bottle.
But all this had nothing to do with Hagrid.
If the twins' research really needs Billywig worms, Hagrid is willing to give them to them at a low price, as a small contribution to the research.
If the Weasley twins hadn't suddenly come to his door yesterday afternoon and said they wanted to buy some Billywig worms for research, these worms would probably have been released by him.
Of course, if the twins don't show up tonight, Hagrid will choose to release the remaining bugs tonight.
Hagrid didn't know what experiment they were going to do, but those that used Billywig worms were often related to "high-frequency thought resonance" and "wisdom", so he reminded them:
"No matter what experiment you do, you must control the dosage of Biliwig worms. If you overdose, it is very likely to cause the wizard to faint or even die!"
The twins accidentally created a [Wisdom Potion], and after personal experience they found that it had no toxicity and that it really made people feel as if they were entering a state of mental resonance, so they decided to sell it.
Only the wings of the Billywig insect are used to prepare the medicine. The raw materials are very safe, and it is diluted with a large amount of clean water and added with some miscellaneous things.
The two of them dared to guarantee that even if the little wizard drank 10 bottles, nothing would happen.
At most you just have to go to the toilet a few more times!
But if the little wizard takes twenty or thirty bottles in a short period of time...
I'm sorry, but even just plain water, if consumed in large quantities in a short period of time, is very likely to cause water poisoning, not to mention medicines.
The twins made a promise to Hagrid, almost swearing an oath, before Hagrid agreed to sell all the remaining Billywig worms to them.
But there aren’t many Billywig worms left.
The twins returned to Hogwarts and came to an empty classroom. After reciting the spell several times, a hidden laboratory appeared.
It was in this laboratory that they developed the [Wisdom Potion], but the [Wisdom Potion] was not entirely their invention.
They found an experimental notebook in this unused laboratory.
This notebook was full of experimental data on the Billywig worm, but they couldn't read any further after flipping through half of it.
The contents later on became increasingly sophisticated, and the records were very messy. Without advanced knowledge of potions, it was impossible to understand.
But just the first half of the knowledge was enough for the twins to have a clear understanding of the Billywig worm.
They used one of the characteristics of the Billywig worm recorded in the notebook to create the [Wisdom Potion].
Only the potion made from the wings of the Billywig insect is non-toxic and can enable people to enter a state of high-frequency thought resonance.
However, if you want to truly enter this state, you need to use other rare drugs to stimulate it so that you can enter it briefly.
Otherwise, it just triggers a similar state, but the thinking does not actually change.
They know the truth, but the little wizard doesn't know the truth.
You get what you pay for. The [Wisdom Potion] they sell is so cheap, so naturally the effect will be discounted.
And the twins felt that they were not completely lying, and the [Wisdom Potion] could indeed help the little wizard perform better in the exam.
Although this potion cannot really trigger memories hidden deep in one's memory, it can make one enter a strange state of calm thinking.
This can help the little wizard calm down quickly and face the exam with a calmer mindset, preventing him from performing poorly due to nervousness, insomnia, and anxiety.
The twins took half of Hagrid's Billywig worm yesterday, and today they just took the remaining half. The steps for making the potion were almost the same as yesterday -
The evening primrose mucus in the crucible suddenly burst into fine bubbles. George crushed the dried Billywig wings into a fine silver powder, and Fred carefully added a drop of honey.
The sticky honey and silver powder came into contact with each other, and under the illumination of the candlelight, they actually merged together and gradually turned into a pool of silver flowing liquid.
The flowing liquid was added to the crucible, and the color of the pot began to change, from indigo to dark red.
George took out the hourglass according to the reminder in the notebook and started counting: "Rotate clockwise seven and a half times in the specified time."
Fred slowly rotated the glass tube, and George slowly sprinkled the wing powder without any honey in it. The crystal points were faintly visible in the crucible.
At this step, George couldn't help but relax. After going through the most difficult steps, the next steps were much easier.
Another dozen minutes passed before Fred asked, "I remember it was two ounces of moon powder."
George looked down at the notebook and whistled, "Yes, Fred, you have a good memory."
Putting the last two ounces of moonlight powder into the boiling crucible, the potion suddenly went from boiling to calm. George took out the stalactite and carefully dripped a drop of water generated by the stalactite into it.
The most expensive ingredient in this pot of potion is stalactite. In order to find this material, they went back and forth to Hogsmeade several times, but to no avail.
Unexpectedly, I ended up buying it at the on-campus grocery store which suddenly opened near the end of the semester.
The twins went to watch the fun, and George casually asked, "Is there any stalactite water?" The store keeper thought for a moment and then told them exactly where the stalactite water was on the shelf.
It was because they got the stalactite water that they dared to carry out the experiments recorded in the notebook.
Fred looked at the potion in front of him that was emitting a hint of fragrance, and couldn't help but reveal a "treacherous" smile: "It's done!"
-
After a day of exams.
Some people have already tasted the effects of the [Wisdom Potion].
This group of people firmly believed that the [Wisdom Potion] enlightened the memories deep in their brains, allowing them to find the corresponding knowledge points in their minds amidst the vast sea of questions.
"It really worked! I felt very calm during the exam, and countless knowledge points took off in my mind, waiting for me to use them. I have never been so confident that I can get a high score!"
“I can actually do all the questions!”
"[The Wisdom Potion] didn't work very well for me. I couldn't remember some of the knowledge points, but I calmly filled in other answers that should be related to the correct answer."
Having tasted the sweetness, the little wizard ran around the Great Hall, trying to find the Weasley twins to continue buying.
The little wizard who had resisted buying yesterday couldn't help but join the rush to buy after seeing that everyone was using the product and wanted to repurchase.
So this time, all the potions that the twins brought to the auditorium were sold out within half an hour, not a drop left.
Tonight they sold the [Wisdom Potion] for the first time. Although the little wizard was very curious, they did not sell out all of it that night and continued to sell it until the daytime.
I didn't expect it would all be cleared out at night.
The Weasley twins were in a good mood and asked everyone they met about their thoughts on using the [Potion of Wisdom].
Some young wizards are worried that after taking the [Wisdom Potion] today, there will be strong side effects tomorrow. After all, they have an exam tomorrow. What if it affects their performance?
Someone asked: "Are the side effects strong?"
George shook his head: "Don't worry, you only need to go to the bathroom twice more the next day after taking it. If you really can't help it during the exam, just ask the professor for help."
Fred: "Some people with good constitutions will be fine the day after taking the medicine. The side effects of the medicine will be very strong on the second and third days. I suggest you go to Ms. Pomfrey to get some more anti-diarrhea medicine."
Some of the little wizards were quick-witted and immediately ran to the infirmary to ask for anti-diarrhea potion upon hearing the news, so as to avoid being unable to get it.
This troubled Madam Pomfrey.
Since becoming the school doctor at Hogwarts, what kind of illness has she not treated?
Some people turned objects into feathers during the Transfiguration class, but ended up being allergic to feathers; some made mistakes in the process of making potions, resulting in burns or poisoning; and some were bitten by prank objects they bought themselves.
And those big and small cases of falling while walking on the ground, breaking a leg while running, breaking an arm while riding a broomstick... I won't talk about these, they are all normal situations.
But now look, a bunch of people came to her for anti-diarrhea medicine, and argued with her in front of her for half an hour, but they didn't even go to the toilet once.
How did this make Madam Pomfrey think he had constant diarrhea?
The key point is that it was not just one student who asked her for anti-diarrhea medicine, but many students came. Even if Madam Pomfrey wanted to give it, she was powerless.
The infirmary's stock was far less than this many antidiarrhea potions, and there were more common potions like "Cold Stop". Even if she emptied the infirmary, she could not deal with so many little wizards.
Madam Pomfrey's voice was like the scraping of an ice knife, and her usually kind eyes became sharp.
"Without any list of proof, the school clinic cannot prescribe medicine at will. If you want anti-diarrhea medicine, you must first prove that you have the disease!"
One of the little wizards immediately started making a fuss, "When we came to the infirmary before, we didn't prove that we were sick, but you still prescribed medicine for us, didn't you?"
Madam Pomfrey flipped open the register: "The past was the past, and the present is the present. In the past, I knew you were ill as soon as I saw you. Now, I think you are full of energy and in good health."
She seemed to have thought of something, turned to one of the pages in the register, and said slowly: "Last year, a Ravenclaw student tried to steal a bottle of potion in the infirmary. During that month, every time he saw the moonstone, he would imitate the cat's meow."
The little wizard shuddered, and the little thought that had arisen in his mind was immediately suppressed.
Not only that, Pomfrey waved his wand, and a chain emerged from the cabinet where the potions were stored, locking itself up.
There was an ancient magic code faintly visible on the storage cabinet. Some young wizards who were good at learning ancient magic codes recognized that it meant "Do not open".
The young wizard took a deep breath and felt that he might not be able to get anything done from Madam Pomfrey.
Madam Pomfrey persuaded many young wizards to go back. When these young wizards returned to the Great Hall, they mentioned what they had seen in the school infirmary and again persuaded many students who wanted to go to the infirmary to give up.
But some students were unwilling to give up and pretended to faint when they arrived at the school infirmary.
But these people were all seen through by Madam Pomfrey, who waved a very smelly garlic in front of their noses, and the little wizards immediately "woken up".
Madam Pomfrey looked at them with a smile and said, "Next time, I don't mind deducting more points from your respective houses."
The lower grade students still cared a lot about the scores of the College Cup. After hearing this, they no longer dared to think about it. After leaving, they also told others not to do so, so as to avoid getting points deducted.
-
In the Great Hall, Harry saw the young wizard go out happily, like a defeated rooster coming back, and turned to Ron and whispered, "It's a good thing we didn't use it."
Ron nodded with lingering fear: "Otherwise, just looking for anti-diarrhea medicine will be a hassle."
Lin Xia, Hermione and Draco were reading, and the noise in the auditorium had no effect on them.
For eugenics, any means before the exam are not as important as getting a good night's sleep and recharging one's energy.
Lin Xia suddenly thought of something, put down the book, and called the Weasley twins.
George and Fred thought Lin Xia also wanted to buy the [Wisdom Potion], and said with a look of pain on their faces: "You are late, we have sold out."
George's eyes turned: "But we still have some stock at the bottom of the box, which we keep for ourselves."
Fred agreed: "As long as you can afford the price."
Lin Xia interrupted: "No, I'm not here to buy medicine. I want to ask you one thing. Did you really develop this [Wisdom Potion]?" (End of this chapter)
