"You heard it right. It is the Fuling Potion. Look at this tempting pale golden liquid. Look at the mark on the potion."
"According to the appraisal of Blackstone Auctions, this bottle of potion was brewed by the top potion master, Horace Slughorn."
"Just one drop, and you can touch the soft little hand of the goddess of luck, and you can..."
"..."
During the tempting introduction of the goblin jar, Lockhart asked Snape: "Snape, are you sure this was made by Professor Horne?"
"Some time ago, I tried to find out about him, but there was no useful information."
Snape nodded and said, "There is no problem with the potion. The mark is also Professor Horn's. Besides, I know the appraiser of the Blackstone Auction. He is reliable."
As he spoke, Snape revealed a hint of doubt in his words: "Is Professor Horn also short of money now?"
"That shouldn't be the case. If you need money, you should sell other potions. The Felicity Potion shouldn't be the case."
Snape, who is well versed in the business of potions, knows very well which potion can make the fastest money.
Firstly, it had to be expressly banned by the Ministry of Magic - following the principle that the more it is banned, the more popular it becomes.
There are also those that work quickly, like the Dream Soul Potion, which instantly boosts your mental strength after drinking it.
Finally, and most importantly, the refining speed must be fast so that you can make money as quickly as possible.
The Fuling potion is difficult and takes a long time to refine. If you are not careful, it will fail.
Although it seems that a large amount of gold galleons can be exchanged, it is obvious that the efficiency of making money is low, and there is even a high risk of losing money.
In general, for the Fuling potion, giving favors is the best choice, which can quickly build relationships.
When Lockhart saw the Felixir potion in front of him, he didn't have time to think about it and immediately pressed the button to participate in the auction.
The price has now risen to 360 gold galleons.
The Fortune Potion is hard to come by, but he was lucky enough to get a bottle of it through certain channels - it was also made by Professor Horn.
After giving it to Thor, he came back and immediately contacted the previous channels to get another bottle. He originally thought that he could get a bottle to save his life like before.
The result...there was no news. I wrote to Professor Horn and asked him to buy a bottle at a high price, but I didn't get a reply.
This made him regret it a little.
Now that I have the chance to get another bottle of Fuling potion, I naturally won’t give it up.
Soon, the price had climbed to 560 gold galleons, but the bidding speed had slowed down significantly at this time.
Gritting his teeth, Lockhart continued pressing the button.
Snape saw this scene and didn't say much.
Before, Lockhart wanted him to help make a bottle of Fuling potion because of the many benefits it would bring.
He did say that he could help with refining it, but then I told him that it would take at least four months to refine it.
Lockhart hesitated immediately.
Although he didn't know the reason, he was too lazy to talk about it unless Lockhart mentioned it. After all, it was really troublesome to refine the Fuling potion.
Now that there is a ready-made bottle in front of him, Lockhart's attitude is very normal.
Soon, the price soared to 700 gold Galleons, as Lockhart pressed the button again.
This time, no other wizard raised the price.
Soon, the Fairy Can shouted loudly with some regret.
"730 gold Galleons, is there anyone who wants to raise the price?"
"Just one drop will instantly let you understand the mind of your beloved girl and solve the puzzles that have been puzzling you for a long time, so that you can..."
"No more? Then I'm going to knock the hammer. Is it really gone?"
"..."
He could hear the goblin chattering away, constantly tempting others to raise the price, as if he would not stop until all his gold Galleons were taken away.
In response, Lockhart looked at the magic projection in front of him expressionlessly, imprinting the goblin's face deeply in his mind.
At this time, the price of the Felicity Potion had been inflated a lot, and other wizards also saw Lockhart's determination to win.
Finally, with the heavy drop of the auction hammer on the goblin jar, the Fuling potion officially fell into Lockhart's hands.
Then, Cantou started to take out the next item for auction.
The item for auction this time is a magical item offered by Lockhart, which is produced by Kamar-Taj - the Boots of Hermes!
It has the ability to allow wizards to walk in the air and increase their speed.
For ordinary wizards, flying can only rely on magic brooms. Flying spells are very rare on the market and are usually only possessed by pure-blood families.
Of course, Lockhart suspected that this was a side-channel ruling method of the pure-blood family - to prevent ordinary wizards from having the ability to fly and reduce the threat.
Therefore, the power of the Boots of Hermes hit the pain points of many wizards at once.
In addition, the Fairy Can who presided over the auction had great eloquence, so the Hermes Boots were sold at a price of 610 gold Galleons.
Lockhart felt much better at once - this goblin's ability was still good...
Afterwards, several high-quality auction items appeared one after another. Lockhart took a look at them and found that he didn't need any of them, so he didn't pay much attention to them.
However, a long-lost potion ingredient appeared, and Snape bought it for 520 gold Galleons.
As one auction item after another emerged, Lockhart sighed.
It is worthy of being a top auction. There are so many good things, even the Fuling potion appeared.
I just don't know what I want...
Soon, Lockhart's eyes lit up when he saw the auction items appearing on the magic projection.
On the platform, a house-elf dressed in rags but very clean stood there blankly.
"Wizards, please pay attention."
"The items auctioned this time are quite rare, enough to be the foundation of a wizard family."
"That's--a house-elf!"
"As we all know, house-elfs are a symbol of status. Having one is enough to symbolize that you have entered the upper circle of the wizarding world."
"Any pure-blood family will look up to you..."
"......"
Listening to the goblin's constant nonsense and exaggerations, Lockhart curled his lips in disdain.
If it was really that magical, the house-elves would have gone crazy fighting for it.
But he was right about one thing: a house-elf could really serve as the foundation of a wizarding family.
The loyalty and hard work of house-elves have been tested over thousands of years of history.
As long as you have one and use a little bit of trickery, you can ensure that every generation of wizards in your family has a good quality of life.
Even if there is a dud or problem in one generation, a house-elf's magic is enough to ensure the safety of the family.
Thousands of years of history have proven that all wizards have a common understanding - house-elves are loyal subordinates who can be completely trusted.
The appearance of house-elves made many wizards excited, especially for some pure-blood families that did not have house-elves, it was very tempting.
It is a very honorable thing to have a house-elf serving your family.
For a pure-blood family, how much money one has is secondary; face is the most important thing.
Later, Lockhart also joined the battle and watched the prices soar.
After thinking about the future plan, he gritted his teeth and kept pressing the auction button.
In the end, Lockhart successfully acquired the ownership of the house-elf for 1200 gold Galleons.
Although the price was a bit high, Lockhart felt it was well worth it.
With the first head, the second and third heads will not be far away. As your strength increases, the cost of obtaining them will definitely become lower and lower.
Then, there were several more rounds of auction items, and the Blackstone auction officially ended.

Backstage at the Blackstone auction.
"Professor Lockhart, here are your items and the gold Galleons earned from the auction. All previous expenses have been deducted."
"For a distinguished customer like you, our boss said that this time we will only charge a one-point handling fee."
"Also, this is the medal that our Black Stone Auction gives to our most distinguished guests. Remember to keep it. Information about the auction will be notified via the medal."
The goblin can, who had just presided over the auction, had a fawning look on his face and spoke to Lockhart in a flattering manner.
He held the space extension bag in both hands, and next to it was a dark green medal. In the middle of the medal, a dark black stone was engraved.
On the edge of the medal, the name of the black market auction was written.
Lockhart looked at the flattering expression on the can, raised his eyebrows, took the space extension bag, and asked lightly: "Then thank you boss for helping me."
"And where's my house elf?"
"Professor Lockhart, please wait a moment." In response to Lockhart's question, the Goblin Can immediately replied, "The Avery family will be here soon, and we will prepare for the handover ceremony of the house elves."
“Blackstone Auctions guarantees that there won’t be any problems.”
His circle is different from Gringotts. Through his circle, we know that Professor Lockhart has been very generous in recent times.
All kinds of potions and magic items were purchased in large quantities.
It’s like the God of Wealth has arrived!
Lockhart nodded slightly to Can's answer, thought for a moment, took out three gold Galleons from his bag, handed them to the goblin Can, and said lightly: "Your auction skills are quite good, this is a little tip."
"Thank you Professor Lockhart, thank you..."
After hearing this, the Fairy Can was a little surprised, and quickly took it, constantly expressing his gratitude with an even more flattering attitude.
But what he didn't know was that the moment he took it, a light golden mark engraved on the gold galleon disappeared into his hand.
Then Lockhart sat down on the sofa next to him, opened the space extension bag and checked if there was any gap.
Looking at the large amount of gold Galleons and various magical items inside.
Of course, the most important thing is the small bottle of light golden potion at the top - the Felicity Potion, with a satisfied smile on his face.
This time, the trip to the black market auction can be said to be very successful
"Gugu..."
Gugu, the orb-eating bird sitting on the shoulder, felt that his keeper was very excited. He was a little curious and tilted his head to look at the bag in the keeper's hand.
Then...he raised his head with great disdain.
It's not food, why get excited?
Gugu didn't quite understand and continued to look around at the new and strange environment.
Lockhart waved at Snape, who was also coming back with a space extension bag.
"Snape, I have something else to do here. If you are in a hurry, you can go back to Hogwarts first."
"I'll be back when I'm done."
And Snape looked at Goo Goo on Lockhart's shoulder, nodded, and said briefly: "Okay!"
He walked straight past Lockhart and walked out of the Blackstone Auction.
He naturally knew what Lockhart was going to do?
He witnessed with his own eyes that Lockhart spent more than 1000 gold Galleons to buy a house-elf.
