Hogwarts: Me? Fight Voldemort?

This alone was enough to make Lucius ecstatic, as if he were being favored.

If Jimmy knew what Lucius was thinking, he'd definitely give Voldemort a thumbs up, thinking, "So you're the ultimate S."

Having finished discussing both business and personal matters, Jimmy and Lucius bid each other farewell and returned to the castle's auditorium.

Hermione was comforting Ginny; the failure of the plan and Harry's injury had dealt her a heavy blow, but the most crucial blow came from Draco.

Draco finished saying all the words of concern she wanted to say to Harry in the school infirmary, and then, not content with that, she mocked Harry Potter from the side.

Harry got so angry that he jumped off the bed and hit him, and then the two of them disappeared from the castle.

Harry's injury was clearly a great opportunity for her to shine, but it ended without her doing anything.

Malfoy was even more of an eyesore than Ron. Ginny had already realized that with Malfoy around, she would never be able to exchange more than a few complete sentences with Harry!

After hearing Ginny's accusations, Jimmy didn't know what to say. Draco was his beloved friend, brother, and close friend, who not only provided him with the first pot of gold to start his career, but his father was also his business partner.

He's practically obsessed with Harry now, acting all nonchalant all the time, like a primary school student deliberately teasing someone to get the attention of a girl he likes.

Having made up his mind, Jimmy reassured Ginny gently, "I'll talk to Draco about this later. Don't worry, I still support you."

Ginny quickly cheered up and looked at Jimmy and Hermione gratefully, "Thank you, you're such good people!"

……

After the Quidditch match, Harry was drafted by Jimmy to learn how to use a quill pen to copy a template of a reply onto all the letters sent to Lockhart's fans.

"You're most familiar with this job, so you can practice using magic to control the quill pen to write a few more times. There are enough replies here for you to practice."

The abandoned classroom was filled with the smell of medicine. Jimmy was brewing Mother's Drowning Spring in this classroom. He originally wanted to follow Hermione's example and brew it in the girls' restroom on the second floor, but no one was there.

But there's an unstable ghost there who can spill water from the toilet everywhere.

The ingredients for this potion were very precious, and he didn't want the potion to fail because the fire went out, so he could only brew it in the abandoned classroom where he made card games.

Harry wasn't the only one in the classroom; others were also drawing and writing, preparing to create an auto chess game.

Implementing the synergy effects in Auto Chess using alchemy is simpler than doing it on a computer. However, Raccoon Alchemy cannot release a new version of Auto Chess every now and then; it can only release one version every year.

Harry looked utterly dejected. When Lockhart was alive, he had to write back to Lockhart; now that Lockhart was gone, he still had to write back to Lockhart's fans. Didn't that mean Lockhart's passing was for nothing?!

He had no choice but to continue writing, having promised to help Jimmy. Fortunately, the reply Jimmy edited was much better than the cheesy words Lockhart had written.

Hermione didn't participate in the copywriting work for Auto Chess; instead, she helped Jimmy process potion ingredients. "Angelica pubescens and scurvy are ingredients for making hallucinogenic drugs, and there are also herbs for making shrinking potions... Some of these herbs have conflicting properties. What kind of potion is this?"

She was quite skilled in potions and had never seen such a strange combination before, especially since it required brewing for a full 16 days.

“This… is a potion similar to Polyjuice Potion; it can turn a man into a woman, either temporarily or permanently,” Jimmy explained. “After I’m done brewing it, I’ll publish the paper on it in ‘Practical Potions Master.’”

"Why did you make such a strange potion?" Hermione looked at him with a face full of confusion and horror, and even stopped what she was doing to process the ingredients.

Jimmy hurriedly explained, "It was all just a random inspiration. It's not that I want to become a woman. I just feel... well, anyway, I don't know how to use it."

Not far away, George and Fred stopped rubbing the clay figure with their hands, looked at each other, stared at each other, and shivered at the same time.

George, disgusted, grabbed the clay figure and threw it at Fred. "I know what you're thinking!"

“You better not even think about it! Impossible!” Fred retorted with a mud figure.

Jimmy timed everything perfectly, arriving at the abandoned classroom every day to add materials, adjust the flame temperature, or stir the crucible.

As December arrived, the potion in the crucible was finally brewed.

The finished Niangniquan (娘溺泉) has a dreamy pinkish-white color with high purity and a faint floral fragrance. When placed in Jimmy's specially made diamond-shaped crystal bottle, it has a gem-like beauty.

An ordinary person only needs to drink 50 grams to permanently become a woman!

Chapter 134, "The Mother Drowns in the Spring," is released with a bang!

Before the potion was brewed, Jimmy had already written his thesis. Once the finished product was ready, he immediately took one of the bottles of Drowned Spring and the thesis to Professor Snape.

What was Professor Snape's opinion of the Drowned Spring, the universally acknowledged Potions Master?

After reviewing it, he could then include it in his advertising copy, saying: "Certified by Potions Master Severus Snape!"

Da da da!

The door to the Potions Professor's office opened automatically shortly after I raised my hand to knock.

Jimmy entered the office and found Professor Snape working at his desk. Snape's eyes were filled with disdain upon seeing him.

Jimmy closed the office door behind him and placed the bottle and two parchment papers from his pocket on the desk. "Professor Snape, this is a potion I developed recently. I just finished brewing it but haven't had anyone test it yet. Please, as a potion master, take a look at it."

Professor Snape paused, his quill pen poised to calibrate the papers. His aura seemed to shift, his gaze sharpening as he scrutinized the crystal bottle on the table. He picked it up, opened it, and inhaled its floral scent.

Judging from its color and smell, it resembles a hallucinogenic drug.

He picked up the paper and first looked at the materials used. There were many materials with conflicting drug properties, and many others whose combined toxicity outweighed their medicinal properties.

Continuing on, the paper did not provide the steps for making the potion, but it did mention many ways to remove the side effects of the potion materials and how to combine the properties of two different potions.

"A mixture of manure, Dictamnus dasycarpus leaves, Angelica pubescens, and rotten blood grass for fermentation? Hmph..."

Professor Snape's eyes were like those of an eagle, searching for errors between the lines of the paper. After scanning for a moment, he finally saw what he wanted to see and sneered, "Why did you mix and stir the sap of the Mandrake egg and the Mandrake tuber? Don't you know that the Mandrake tuber's property is to neutralize poison, and the sap of the Mandrake egg is to stimulate the brain's potential, and once broken, it will no longer have any effect?"

"But the mixed egg liquid can act as a catalyst, and stirring it six and a third times can reactivate the potion's potency."

That's the good thing about formulas derived from epiphanies; Jimmy gained a lot of new knowledge about potions, and some potion processing methods that hadn't been discovered before naturally emerged.

Professor Snape hadn't been able to confirm Jimmy's claim yet, but looking at the crystal bottle on the table, he didn't immediately deny it, his eyes darting back and forth across the article. "Why add salt to the chameleon?"

"To prevent the ingredients in the potion from burning due to the slime, but to preserve the effect, it should be added to the crucible when it is half dissolved."

Why let caterpillars eat the lady's mantle?

"The caterpillar's digestive juices allow the boiling potion to better absorb the properties of the feather grass."

Why does the Billywig cricket have 16 stingers?

"Twelve of them need to be stuck into the dragonfly's chest to enhance the properties of the finished potion..."

Professor Snape asked many questions, some of which involved techniques he had never seen or heard of before—completely innovative and entirely new.

The Wizarding World has a vast array of potion ingredients with countless combinations and variations, and every so often someone comes up with a new way to combine them.

Whether it will be effective, or under what specific conditions it needs to be effective, is completely unknown.

Based solely on Jimmy's account, Professor Snape could not determine the authenticity of these methods, so he put down the paper and directly replicated them using the materials at hand in his office cabinet.

The first demonstration was whether mandrake tuber juice combined with snake eggs could be used as a catalyst, using a pot of ordinary antidote as a test.

He didn't turn off the fire when it should have been turned off, and only added the egg liquid when the potion was about to fail.

The potion was revived, and after the fire was extinguished, this ordinary antidote was more effective than the original. According to Professor Snape's visual assessment, it could also be preserved for a longer period of time.

He caught a giant toad that he would use for a potion experiment, and amidst Jimmy's gasps of shock, he cast a poison spell on it. The toad, already poisoned, drank a common antidote and quickly recovered, thanks to its already high magic resistance.

Then grab a handful of lady's mantle and caterpillars, let the caterpillars eat the lady's mantle, and then throw the caterpillars into the crucible for brewing the beauty potion. The caterpillars' digestive juices effectively stimulated the properties of the lady's mantle, and the finished beauty potion was a success, but the effect was not good because the caterpillars' bodies were impurities in the beauty potion itself.

This method can only be used with certain potions, or by removing the caterpillar's skin...

In short, Professor Snape reluctantly approved of Jimmy's formula. He returned to his desk, picked up the potion bottle, grabbed the frog, and poured half a bottle into its mouth.

A miracle happened!

The toad slowly turned pink, and its sex changed upon examination.

Jimmy nodded in satisfaction as he watched the toad's transformation, though the two large bulges on the toad's chest were a bit of an eyesore.

The purpose of the dragonfly's thorax being pierced by the stinger of the Billywig beetle is precisely this.

Professor Snape's expression turned sour when he saw the two large breasts, but his expression quickly softened. "A mature potion. You can have someone test it. Potions used by toads won't harm anyone."

Although it's unknown how Jimmy did it, he did create an incredible potion.

This was the first time Jimmy had ever heard Professor Snape speak to him in such a tone. "Professor, if I submit this paper to 'The Practical Potions Master,' will they accept it?"

Professor Snape stared at him for a moment, then said slowly, "Don't be too flamboyant; it won't get you what you want. Quite the opposite!"

Jimmy always struggles with the riddle solvers in this castle. "I'm not very good at solving riddles, but I'd still like to try and give one, after all, I'm still young."

To gain fame and make Blaine's potions famous, you need to create a sensation and give the wizarding world a little potion shock, right?

As for the consequences?

You need to fill your stomach first before you have time to think about the future.

Professor Snape's eyes returned to that look he had when he looked at trolls, and a grim smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. "Then good luck. — You can leave now."

When Jimmy left, he didn't take the paper back, but he put some of the Niang Ni Quan (a type of mineral) he had used into his pocket.

He was worried that one day Snape might take a dislike to Harry and force-feed him the potion.

When that time comes, it will truly be Harley meeting Father Severus with tears in her eyes...

After leaving Snape's office, Jimmy added the phrase "certified by Potions Master Severus Snape" to another paper, and then, together with Half-Bottle Nigiri Spring, sent it by owl to the editorial department of "Practical Potions Master".

Three days later, the editorial department of "Practical Potions Master" gave Jimmy a lot of face and gave Niang Niquan a huge space on the first page.

The storm in the potions world had only just begun to brew when Gilderoy Lockhart's mid-range shampoo line became a hit.

Chapter 135 The Hogwarts Secrets: The Dictator Among the Students

When Milton received the newly produced Gilderoy Lockhart mid-range shampoo, he was so happy that he cried and laughed, and almost knelt down in front of Jimmy, saying, "I knew it, Commander, you wouldn't abandon us!"

"Get up, GLfans can never be rebuilt..." Jimmy thought to himself as the countdown to Lockhart's explosion drew ever closer, but said aloud, "This is the last time I'll fight for benefits for you guys."

Lockhart is about to make a huge blunder, how could we possibly let him accept favors?

"Waaaah! Captain!" Milton and the captain who received the shampoo later were both crying their eyes out, as if they were about to be separated by life and death.

Jimmy was quite pleased with this, and after exchanging a few words of concern, he let them go.

The former GLfans members all received a pint of shampoo. They used the bird snake egg yolk shampoo that very day, and walked around the castle with their smooth, shiny hair, making countless little witches envious.

They started asking around where they could buy such a great shampoo, and then a former GLfans member handed over a coupon he had obtained in advance. With this coupon, they could purchase the Bird Snake Egg Yolk Shampoo at 516 Diagon Alley and receive an extra 100ml trial size.

Lucius looked at Jimmy's marketing plan and cunningly used the metric milliliter to cut the original 1 pint to 500 milliliters, while still selling it at the original price.

The extra 80-plus milliliters were made into another men's version of the Bird Snake Egg Yolk Shampoo without Lockhart's face packaging. This extra amount was completely free.

Because Gilderoy Lockhart is the one paying for the production, Jimmy and Lucius are teaming up to fleece Lockhart.

However, due to the excellent effects of the bird snake egg yolk shampoo, the shampoo is selling very well and is currently in short supply, so Lockhart can still make a profit.
