Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

So, even before Professor Lupin woke up in the infirmary, news about him spread like wildfire throughout Hogwarts, reaching even the upperclassmen.

Although Professor Lu Ping was a victim in this matter, he also caused this consequence by failing to follow the dosage rules and taking an excessive amount.

Because this news spread widely due to gossip, many students became interested in the "Inspiration Potion" developed by the Weasley twins.

"What is the effect of this potion? Is the only side effect of overdose coma? Actually, the side effect is not as serious as you think. Being unconscious and not knowing anything is better than having a strange allergic reaction."

"I heard that this potion uses the wings of the Billywig bug as a raw material, imitating the Ravenclaw crown, to achieve a slight mental resonance effect, which can make people more clear-headed."

"How effective is it? Really?"

"I don't know. Only ten students participated in the experiment for the first time, and they all signed confidentiality agreements. So far, no one has revealed any information, but those students have given it unanimous praise, saying that this potion has given them a chance to catch up with the outstanding students!"

"Ha, what a boastful tone! I won't believe them unless they make me use this potion!"

"Professor Lupin probably thought the potion was too effective, so he decided to take an overdose!"

"Yes, if the potion wasn't good, who would overdose on it?"

Even the Weasley twins didn't know that the public opinion they released, which they originally intended to clarify about the side effects, would eventually veer towards the fact that the potion was very effective.

In an instant, Lin Xia received hundreds of resumes from students who wanted to join the test for the [Inspiration and Creativity] potion.

In addition, the professors at the school finally became somewhat interested in this potion.

I initially thought this was just a potion made by students playing house, but now that I see even Professor Lupin was willing to take an overdose and faint, could this potion have some magical properties that they don't know about?
Several professors even wrote to Lin Xia to inquire about the specific effects of this potion.

When the Weasley twins returned, Lin Xia handed all the letters over to them. She had already written the introductory introduction, and the twins would handle the rest of the replies to the professors.

"You guys stay in the lab and handle the mail. Try to get more professors involved in the experiments. As for whether the student group should be expanded, that's up to you. I'm going to visit Professor Lu Ping first."

George and Fred were invigorated.

George: "Okay, leave it to us. We'll handle it!"

Fred said gratefully, "Lin Xia, if it weren't for your reminder, we wouldn't have been able to handle the public relations crisis so quickly. Thank you!"

Lin Xia smiled faintly: "We are all members of the lab. I help you, and you help me. Keep it up. I have high hopes for your future. You can think of me as a generous investor."

She had long ago foreseen through visions of the future that George and Fred would become two outstanding research masters.

Although I don't know what my future holds, I imagine I'm doing pretty well.

To gain the friendship of two outstanding research masters, what is such a small investment? Besides, she was only using the laboratory's resources to cultivate them.

The laboratory resources were provided by the university.

From this perspective, it's actually Hogwarts that helps her cultivate talent.
-
Lin Xia rushed to the infirmary, where McGonagall and the other professors were already there, along with several students.

She went to Draco and Hermione and asked, "How is Professor Lupin's health?"

Draco replied in a low voice, "Ms. Pomfrey said he has entered a deep coma, a state that is difficult to awaken with wake-up potions. If we force him to wake up, it may damage some bodily functions, so it is better to wait for him to wake up naturally."

Hermione added, "Although he has entered a deep coma, Professor Lupin is in good physical condition and has not shown any signs of malnutrition or other problems, so he can continue to be observed."

Ms. Pomfrey said he could wake up at any time and would need to remain in the medical ward for several days afterward.

Lin Xia glanced at the other unfamiliar professors and asked, "Who are these professors?"

A hint of doubt flashed across Draco and Hermione's eyes. They had no idea where these professors had come from; they had never encountered them at Hogwarts before.

They became very nervous as soon as Professor Lupin fell into a coma and kept discussing it with Professor McGonagall.

An isolation spell was set up, so they couldn't hear what was being discussed, let alone see the expressions on the faces of the people involved.

All the expressions he currently displays are fake.

While the three students were talking, Ron, Harry, and Neville stood to one side, looking rather uneasy.

They were worried about Professor Lupin, but also worried that the potion made by the Weasley twins might actually be problematic.

Ron said in a low voice, "Harry, for some reason, I feel like I have mixed feelings right now."

Harry stared blankly at the unconscious Lupin, thinking that he had only discovered the charm of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class since Lupin became the professor, and he looked forward to attending it every day.

If Professor Lu Ping really falls ill, who will take over this class?

Moreover, Professor Lupin was very gentle and patient with him, and the way he looked at him always seemed to be recalling something.

He had only ever felt this warmth from the principal.

He snapped out of his daze and asked, "What?"

Ron sighed: "From the beginning, I was not optimistic about my twin brother's potion research. Potion research is not like their previous prank gadget inventions. It requires very rigorous theory, rigorous testing, and is also very dangerous."

But when they actually figured it out and passed all the tests in the lab, I realized that maybe I had misjudged them before. They were very talented, but they just didn't use their talents in the right way.

Just when they were about to succeed, Professor Lupin fell into a coma. I didn't know what to do. I felt this potion was too dangerous, and it would be best to stop the research. But then I felt they had worked so hard for so long, and they deserved a good outcome.

Ron said this with a furrowed brow.

Unbeknownst to him, his attitude toward his twin brother had changed.

From initial dislike to current acceptance, I hope they can all get better and better and realize their ideals and ambitions.

Neville muttered, "I trust Lin Xia more. I think potions that have been tested in the lab won't kill anyone."

“Okay, let’s do it this way. If he doesn’t wake up today, I’ll schedule his classes for the next week and let the other Defense Against the Dark Arts professors take over.”

On the other side of the medical room.

This group of people was the tallest and most conspicuous, occupying the best vantage point and being the closest to Professor Luping.

A professor, whom we didn't know, spoke up: "The full moon is just a few days away. Even if he's unconscious, things could change. I think it would be better to move him to another place first." McGonagall hesitated upon hearing the professor's suggestion.

She thought for a while before saying, "Let me think about it some more. Maybe he'll wake up in the next couple of days."

The unfamiliar professor said with utmost calmness, "I think it's already quite unorthodox for the school to accept a werewolf as a professor. This is an uncontrolled werewolf. No werewolf can remain calm on the night of a full moon unless he has the potential to become a leader!"

“McGarden, my suggestion is reasonable. I hope you will reconsider it. Dumbledore has entrusted Hogwarts to you. You can’t act recklessly.”

Professor McGonagall said sternly with a tense face, “You’ve got one thing wrong. It was Dumbledore’s idea to bring in Lupin, not mine. If you have any objections to Dumbledore’s arrangements, you can write to him.”

Outsiders like Lin Xia were unable to break through the isolation magic to observe their conversation and expressions.

A short while later, the group of unfamiliar professors left the infirmary.

As they left, Lin Xia and the others felt that the tense atmosphere in the infirmary had disappeared.

Lin Xia walked over to Professor McGonagall, handed her all the experimental data for the [Inspiration and Creativity] potion, and whispered:
“Professor, this potion does not have the side effect of causing unconsciousness, but the fact that it caused Professor Lupin to fall into a coma may be due to other reasons.”

Professor McGonagall snapped out of her reverie, took the documents, and asked with a puzzled look, "Another reason?"

Ms. Pomfrey treats the illness, but she doesn't know how the illness arises.

After all, Lupin's physical condition was special.

Lin Xia said, "Yes."

She carefully chose her words, saying, "First of all, every wizard's constitution is different. The data we are comparing is based on that of ordinary wizards. If a wizard takes the potion and has a special constitution, the potion may cause other side effects."

She could feel that McGonagall's gaze, now focused on her, had become incredibly sharp.

But Lin Xia remained unmoved.

This is just a normal guess. She knows Professor Lupin's true identity, but it is based on prediction, so she naturally wouldn't reveal it.

"Besides special physical constitution, there is another reason that may cause different side effects, which is what the user did after taking the potion."

"The things he did after taking the potion could have other side effects, so I suspect that Professor Lupin must have done something special after taking the potion, which led to these consequences."

McGonagall pondered for a moment, and she preferred the second reason to the first.

Werewolves have very strong physical abilities. Five bottles of magic potion might not even cause an adult wizard to fall into a coma, so how could they possibly cause a werewolf to fall into a coma?

Unless Lupin takes the potion to do something dangerous.

McGonagall stared intently at Lupin, who had fallen into a coma, wondering what he was up to.
-
Professor McGonagall ultimately decided against having anyone else at the university take over Lupin's care, and Lupin remained in the infirmary.

As the full moon approached, McGonagall visited Lupin more and more frequently, asking Mrs. Pomfrey every day, "When will he wake up?"

Mrs. Pomfrey always answered the same way: "He will wake up when he feels it's time."

Meanwhile, although Professor Lupin had not yet woken up, the Weasley twins' adult wizarding test program was progressing smoothly.

Some of the school's wizards volunteered to be volunteers and cooperate with the testing.

But some wizards wanted to push their limits and, like Professor Lupin, took five bottles.

This potion also seemed to have caught Snape's attention; he even asked Lin Xia for an application form.

The Weasley twins were even more surprised when they received Snape's application!
George reached out and gently patted his face. "I can't believe my eyes, George. This all seems so unreal. That's Snape! He's actually interested in our potions and willing to be our test subject!"

Fred reached out and pinched his own cheek, exclaiming in shock, "Darling, I thought I was seeing things too, but we weren't mistaken! The applicant is Professor Snape!"

Not long ago, Snape had harshly belittled them during their Occlumency training, saying they were only good at pranks and not at anything else.

But a few days later, Snape wanted to join their potions test.

George suddenly became bold and said, "Fred, how about we go through the applications of all the other professors, but not Snape's?"

Fred's eyes lit up; he thought this method was excellent, but there was a problem...

He pondered for a moment and said, "Forget it, we lack experimental data from experienced wizards, while Snape is a very powerful potions master. If he were to be the test subject, he could tell us more details about potions. What do you think?"

George hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, "You're right."

George and Fred finally handed the list to Lin Xia. Lin Xia saw Snape's name, raised an eyebrow, and said:
“You are much more generous than I thought. I didn’t think you would let Snape join.”

The twins said in unison, "We didn't want him to join, but it's all for a greater good!"

Lin Xia smiled and said, "Professor Snape is very skilled in potions. He is one of the few wizards who can make Veritaserum and other high-level potions. If he is willing to give you some advice on potions, it will be of great help to you."

But she had a feeling that Snape's volunteering this time wasn't to find out how powerful the potion was, but more likely to investigate why Lupin fell into a coma after taking it.

Professor Lu Ping has been in a coma for three days.

This is indeed a long time for a wizard.

Lin Xia sent letters to the wizards who had passed through her visit, and then went to the infirmary, where she happened to run into Professor McGonagall, who was also there to visit Lupin.

McGonagall nodded slightly to her, and the two of them looked at the unconscious Lupin.

McGonagall suddenly said, "Lin Xia, I heard that George and Fred have found enough adult wizards to test their potion?"

Lin Xia nodded: "Yes, Professor. The underage wizards will also be undergoing their second test soon, and none of the students who are being tested have had any problems during this period."

McGonagall lowered her eyes, pondered for a moment, and said, "Finish the test as soon as possible, and have them hand me their papers. I'll take a look at them."

I asked the students who participated in the test, and they all highly praised the [Inspiration] potion.

I have an idea: if this magic potion were combined with a knowledge-based puzzle game, could it enhance students' self-learning abilities? (End of Chapter)
