Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

Because the students were so enthusiastic about learning, some professors asked them why they had suddenly become interested in studying.

It's not hard to find out; just ask any student who actively asks questions after class.

Upon hearing that the students had been provoked by the Weasley twins, the professor suddenly realized what was going on and a smile appeared on his lips.

They felt that the twins' story deserved to be highlighted to inspire more students.

During breaks, these professors would also hold discussions.

"The Weasley twins have set a good example; the students are now very enthusiastic about learning."

"After all, they weren't smart when they first entered school, and their image has always been that of bad students in the eyes of other students."

"This example is more inspiring. Should the school highlight their deeds?"

"This...isn't this a bit inappropriate? After all, George and Fred used to be put in solitary confinement by us quite often."

"How could that be? I think that students who are frequently confined can also develop into successful individuals, which is an affirmation of our Hogwarts education."

I believe that we should not only publicize their story within the school, but also include it in the school's admission brochure as a means of promoting the school.

When we recruit students, we can use their stories to tell parents that as long as they send their children to Hogwarts, Hogwarts can give them a bright future!

The professors all thought this was feasible, and after the discussion, they even prepared a paper report for Professor McGonagall.

With Dumbledore absent from the school, McGonagall, as the vice-principal, wielded the most real power and handled most of the school's affairs.

Using the Weasley twins' story as a publicity stunt was something to be reported to McGonagall.

McGonagall saw the report on her desk and was somewhat surprised.

After reading it, she pondered for a while and remembered that the twins would be holding a paper presentation in the auditorium today.

She hadn't originally planned to attend, even though she had extended invitations on behalf of the school to all the renowned Potions Masters to come and watch the paper presentation.

But after sending the invitation, she left the matter to Snape to handle.

She had other things to do today, and after seeing the report, McGonagall changed her mind. She estimated that it was about time, so she headed towards the Great Hall.

The auditorium was bustling with noise.

There weren't many guests invited this time; they were all potion masters who had studied potion-related fields. A few reporters were also present.

Overall, the scale of the event was not as large as when Lin Xia held her thesis press conference, and the number of guests was only about 1/10 of those at her press conference.

However, this also resulted in many empty seats available for students to sit down without the need for advance reservations.

The Weasleys sat upright in the audience; the school had invited the whole family this time.

Even the eldest brother Bill and the second brother Charlie, who are always busy with work, took time off to come and witness George and Fred's glorious moment.

Of course, they wouldn't mention that they had each received letters from the twins a month earlier.

The twins said they had developed a magic potion that was highly praised by their professors, who decided to recommend their paper on the new potion to the journal "Potions." They just didn't know if it would be accepted.

The twins extended a special invitation to them in their letter, saying that if their paper was indeed published in "Potions," they should definitely come to Hogwarts to visit.

As the older brothers, they naturally encouraged their younger brother's great enthusiasm for research and readily agreed to his request.

However, the reason they agreed so readily was because they knew that the standards for accepting articles in the "Potions" journal were very strict.

They only learned about these top academic journals when they were close to graduation and needed to publish a paper, and were looking for various journals to submit to.

Top academic journals place great importance on the academic achievements of contributors, and only those with novel and innovative highlights will be accepted. This is something that their students generally cannot handle.

The reason is simple: many students lack sufficient knowledge.

But who could have imagined that less than two weeks later, George and Fred would send them letters saying that their paper had been accepted into the journal "Potions" and was already in the process of being typed and published.

Tell them to prepare for a shift change as soon as possible, so they can come back at any time.

Bill and Charlie were taken aback by the letter and even wrote back to their parents.

As a result, even the parents didn't know what was going on. They only found out about it through congratulations from their colleagues.

It can only be said that the Weasley twins kept this a complete secret from their parents, insisting that they learn about the good news in an extremely unexpected way.

Regardless, it is something to be very happy about when one's family member achieves a prestigious academic result.

So Bill and Charlie complied with their brother's request and took leave to rush back to Hogwarts to watch them present their papers on stage.

Besides George and Fred, Ron was also not in the queue. He stood on the stage of the grand stage as an assistant, and he was in charge of preparing the speeches in advance.

"Arthur, I feel like I'm dreaming. Such a wonderful thing actually happened in our family!"
George and Fred actually became inventors! I thought they were just a little bit clever, but I never imagined they could go this far!

"Molly, let alone you, even I'm in a daze. When I received a reminder from my boss last week, I didn't even know what was going on."

A bunch of colleagues congratulated me, saying I had two wonderful sons. It was through them that I learned they had quietly accomplished something truly remarkable—their potion research had actually been published in the journal *Potions*!

It's like someone else's son suddenly becoming your own!
Percy overheard his parents' discussion and pursed his lips somewhat uncomfortably.

He used to be the pride and joy of his parents, but now he's been replaced by two unreliable twin brothers, which makes him very uncomfortable.

Even now, he is still amazed that George and Fred have such great talent in research.
He thought of Lin Xia.

Lin Xia's research talent is undeniably top-notch.

Could it be that Lin Xia shared some of her research findings with George and Fred, helping them become outstanding students so they could gain access to more resources from the school?

That's what he thought, but Percy didn't say it aloud because he felt the idea was unreliable.

If the research findings are not shared with George and Fred, but are published by Lin Xia herself, the school will pay more attention to her and be more willing to invest in her.

Besides, a result that can be published in the journal "Potions" must be a very impressive one.

Don't you feel like you're losing out by sharing such amazing results with others for free?
And Ron, what makes Ron qualified to stand on the stage of the Great Hall?
George and Fred, too, should have called him up to help at such a glorious moment, instead of giving it to the good-for-nothing Ron.

Just as he was thinking of Ron, Bill and Charlie also mentioned Ron.

“I didn’t expect Ron to be standing on the stage of the Great Hall as an assistant. It seems they are very clear about this research and have a certain research foundation,” Bill said.

Charlie: "Yes, what surprised me the most was Ron. He seems to have improved a lot." Bill nodded: "I always knew that George and Fred were smarter, but Ron is really unexpected. He seems to have grown a lot."

Percy said, "I heard that Harry and Ron are close, and they are also close to Lin Xia. It's probably because of this relationship that Ron was chosen to be George and Fred's assistant."

Bill shook his head: "If Ron didn't have a certain research background, we wouldn't have asked him to be our assistant. This task is not easy."

As if to echo his words, Ron's voice rang out a few seconds later.

He was using the "loud voice" magic to adjust his volume.

After a simple setup, there was another short wait of a few minutes.

Ron’s voice came again, “Welcome everyone to the George and Fred’s paper presentation. I’d like to wish you all a pleasant weekend.”

Without further ado, let's get straight to the point: the Inspiration Potion was inspired by the Wisdom Potion..."

The press conference was opened by Ron, and the Weasleys watched in surprise.

It was as if they were seeing Ron for the first time; the boy was more outstanding than any of them had imagined.

He seemed quite adept at introducing the Inspiration Potion, and appeared to have participated in some of the potion's development as well.

He was a very competent assistant.

Harry and Neville then went up on stage.

Harry was responsible for explaining the middle part of the story, while Neville's task was simpler; he explained the ending and was responsible for the least amount of content.

He seemed very nervous and initially stammered when he spoke, but after a period of adjustment, Neville's speech became more and more normal.

He handled the pressure well and became increasingly confident, no longer timidly bowing his head, but instead looking directly at the audience below with his head held high.

Neville's performance also attracted the attention of other students, especially the Gryffindor students.

“How dare Neville stand on the stage? It’s unbelievable! I’m not as brave as him!”

"I heard that Neville has a good relationship with Harry and Ron, and he may be able to stand on stage to give a presentation because of their connections."

"Are you kidding me? If you can get on stage to give a presentation just by having connections, then I have a good relationship with Lin Xia, so why don't I dare to go on stage?"

"Even if you were given this opportunity, you wouldn't dare to stand on the stage, so don't laugh at others."

For the first time, Neville had students speaking up for him.

That's the magic of being on stage. He successfully transformed Neville into a more and more confident person, and also allowed other students to see a completely new Neville.

After a brief introduction, the Weasley twins finally made their appearance.

This time, instead of flashy starlight effects, they stood on the stage in their Hogwarts uniforms, looking serious and composed.

For this speech, they even wore glasses in a tacit agreement.

This made them look more refined, with the air of researchers, quite different from their usual image.

This outfit, whether it startled the Weasleys or not, certainly surprised the wizards they often encountered.

They thought to themselves: This must be the charm of knowledge. Just by standing there casually, people who are usually playful and quirky become academic and dignified.

Ron and his team's opening introduction was just a simple overview; once the Weasley twins took the stage, they had to deliver something substantial.

They explained in detail the sources of their inspiration and which ingredient could exert a powerful effect in the process of researching potions, making them veritable muses.

The professors noticed that many of the students who came to listen to the lectures were taking notes.

Seeing this, the professor looked pleased; these students were truly motivated!
The Weasley twins' antics were quite entertaining!
What the professors didn't know was that the reason the students were so diligent in taking notes was that each of them harbored the idea of ​​creating their own "potion of inspiration and ingenuity."

Judging from the effects published in the journal, this potion is incredibly powerful!
If they can produce it, they could save a huge amount of Galleons.

Alternatively, some can be sold secretly; since everyone trades privately, it's all based on their own abilities.

While the Weasley twins were giving their presentations, the Potions Masters in the audience listened attentively to their inspirations and ideas, nodding occasionally.

Several potions masters began communicating using specific magic—

"Are these the new recruits Snape was optimistic about? They are indeed very talented; their thinking goes beyond conventional frameworks."

"Snape rarely recommends articles for publication in the Potions Journal. Is this inspired potion really that magical?"

"Haha, whether it's really that amazing has already been verified by some of you, hasn't it? I'm very curious about your opinions."

A potion master, who had clearly been invited to verify the potion, recalled his experience of taking it and stated definitively:

"It's an incredibly creative idea; they've solved the problem of concentration in a completely different way."

I think that if we dig deeper, we can influence the effectiveness of focused thinking from a psychological perspective.

But even without further exploration, the conditions that can be achieved now represent the pinnacle of mind-focusing potions in the magical world.

Upon hearing this, the other potion masters' curiosity deepened.

"I wonder when this potion will be available on the market. I'd like to buy a bottle to study it."

The potion master who was invited to verify the claim affirmed, "I will also buy many bottles to keep at home. I feel that it can help my mind be more active and allow me to return to my peak state at any time."

To be honest, with the help of this potion, I've had some inspiration for the research topic I'm currently working on, and I've found a direction to approach it from.

The only downside is that this potion's effect on a wizard of my level is very short-lived. It usually provides 5-10 minutes of mental inspiration, but for me it only lasts 1 minute.

Upon hearing this, the other potion masters' eyes not only showed curiosity but also a hint of excitement.

"That research project you're working on, the mutated plants related to the world of evil gods?"

The invited potions master nodded solemnly, "Yes!"

The other potions masters exchanged glances.

This is an incredible topic! Once the right research direction is found, breakthroughs can be achieved very quickly.

Once a breakthrough is achieved, the wizarding world will be less scrambling and the risks of entering the world of evil gods will be greatly reduced. (End of Chapter)
