Chapter 298 Magic Potion Improvement
You are different from me
Ivan secretly said in his heart that the reason why he has achieved his current achievements is that on the one hand, he can use the experience card's thinking acceleration mode to assist learning, and on the other hand, it is because of two dangerous blood fusion rituals.
And Hermione achieved this point entirely by relying on her own talent and hard work. This is why Ivan was amazed. No wonder the little witch in the original time and space was able to hold the position of Minister of Magic.
Hermione didn't know this. As she was walking to the Arithmetic and Divination class, she thought of the Slytherin girl just now and Malfoy, and couldn't help asking curiously.
"Ivan, are all those pure-blood wizards so arrogant and annoying?"
"If you say that, Ron will not be happy. The Weasley family is also pure blood!" Ivan shook his head in amusement.
"Sorry, I don't know," Hermione stuck out her tongue and said a little embarrassedly. She had met the Weasley family.
Ron's parents were both very kind people. Not only did they not have the slightest prejudice against her, they even invited her to visit the Burrow when they had time.
Their family is completely different from the arrogant Malfoy father and son.
"By the way, Ivan, are you also a pure-blood wizard?" Hermione suddenly thought of this and said.
"How do I know? It shouldn't be right?" Ivan hesitated for a moment. He still doesn't know about his parents' family affairs. Asia has never told him.
However, in the magic world, the only ones widely recognized as pure blood are the Twenty-Eight Holy Clan, and there is no Hals family among them.
"And strictly speaking, there are probably no pure-blood families in the magic world anymore." Ivan thought of something and couldn't help laughing.
Hermione was a little surprised, why did you say that?
"According to some secret records, many pure-blood families have intermarryed with wizards born in Muggle families. Otherwise, if there were such a small number of pure-blood families and they didn't deal with each other, they would have been doomed long ago if they only married each other."
Ivan explained that modern people all know the disadvantages of intermarriage, but except for a few, there are very few children of pure-blood families who are mentally disturbed. This shows that pure-blood families should not be so disciplined.
Of course, even so, in order to maintain the reputation of pure blood, intermarriage between major families is still very frequent. For example, Malfoy's mother is a member of the Black family.
"Then next time I see Malfoy, I will use this to refute him." Hermione said with a smile.
"I guess Malfoy won't believe anything he says." Ivan shrugged, and then felt a little sad. It was because of the conservative pure-blood wizards who held the power that the magical world remained unchanged for hundreds of years.
The two of them walked into the arithmetic and divination class talking and laughing.
Settima Victor, the professor of arithmetic and divination, is a very strict person, very different from the mysterious Trelawney.
Even Settima Victor was extremely disdainful of Trelawney, who also taught divination.
As soon as the class started, she said bluntly that only by relying on rigorous and careful reasoning and calculations can we have a glimpse of the future!
Most of the people who came to class were Ravenclaw students, and Hermione listened with great interest in the class. When the class was over, the little witch couldn't help but sigh that Professor Victor was much more reliable than Trelawney. She wants to learn divination
Ivan once again gained a bunch of academic points, and then the two of them continued to rush to the next classroom.
In one day, the two spent more than ten hours taking nine classes.
At night, Ivan once again used the time turner to go back five hours to conduct experiments on improving the potion.
These days, although Ivan has the potion research notes left by Snape, the research on potion improvement is not progressing smoothly. He needs more time and related books.
Fortunately, the time problem can be solved by relying on the time converter, and relevant books can be found in the restricted book area.
So, Ivan spent some time to persuade Lupine to sign a note for him to borrow books in the name of developing potions.
Lupine had been avoiding Ivan these days because he had heard some rumors before. Now that Ivan came to see him, he was almost shocked, thinking that his identity had been exposed.
Fortunately, Ivan quickly explained his intention, and Lu Ping readily agreed without any hesitation.
After all, he knew that Ivan was the developer of Wolfsbane potion, and it was normal for him to want to borrow some advanced potion books. He also hoped that one day Ivan would be able to develop a way to completely cure werewolves.
When Ivan walked out of the Defense Against the Dark Arts office, he felt that Lupine seemed a little afraid of him, but he couldn't figure out what was going on.
Is he so scary?
Ivan remembered that he looked very handsome, especially after integrating the blood of unicorns.
Ivan, who couldn't figure it out, took the note given by Lupine and borrowed three forbidden books on potions, "Encyclopedia of Advanced Potion Materials", "Advanced Potion Production" and "Potion Improvement" from the restricted book area.
Finally, he found a secluded classroom and began to study possible solutions for improving the potion.
As for why not in the library?
Of course, it was because the library was a place where he often went to look up information. Ivan felt that it was better not to stay there all the time and cause trouble to his future self.
The only thing that made Ivan a little helpless was that although Hermione did not stop him from using the time turner to conduct additional research work, she went back in time for five hours with him.
"Hermione, you have been in class for almost twenty hours today. You should go back to the dormitory and have a good rest." Ivan looked at Hermione who looked obviously tired and said helplessly to comfort her.
Hermione shook her head firmly. She felt that Ivan didn't need to rest and was still working hard to learn potions knowledge, so she needed to work harder.
"And I've read a lot of books and know how to make most potions, so I can definitely help!" the little witch said confidently.
After finishing speaking, Hermione looked at Ivan with some anxiety. Of course, she could feel the importance Ivan attached to this potion improvement, so Hermione also hoped that she could help Ivan.
Ivan thought for a while and did not refuse again. It would be good to have one more person to help research the improvement of the potion.
Hermione was very happy, but when she actually joined the potion research work, the little witch discovered that Ivan's research topic was far beyond her imagination.
In addition, she had never been exposed to potion improvement before, which meant that she could not understand Ivan's research information at all.
