Hogwarts: I'm Harry's older cousin

Chapter 333, Section 327: She's so cute, just like James when he was a child.

Vivian's Potion is the most difficult potion to make in history, bar none.

Polyjuice Potion is a classic potion that everyone is familiar with. For ordinary wizards, the process of preparing this potion is quite complicated and takes a whole month.

Felix Felicis, also known as the Potion of Luck, is a renowned magical potion in the wizarding world. Its preparation is more than ten times more difficult than that of Polyjuice Potion, extremely complex, and requires countless steps. Any mistake in any step can lead to serious consequences, and it takes up to half a year to prepare.

Vivian's Potion is more difficult and complicated to make than Felix Felicis. This potion requires 108 kinds of potion ingredients, each of which needs to go through 36 complicated processes. At the same time, each potion ingredient is very valuable, many of which are contraband and have no market value. One of them is Phoenix Tears.

The most famous wizard is Merlin, the legendary wizard who was King Arthur's most loyal companion in mythology.

The most famous witch was Vivian, who made the legendary wizard Merlin fall in love with her and, after discovering his special abilities and weaknesses, imprisoned him forever in an oak tree.

In common folk legends, Vivian is the lake spirit who bestowed the sword Excalibur upon King Arthur. However, in the wizarding world, she is known as the Witch of Miracles. According to the history of magic, she has created countless miracles on more than one occasion, although the specifics of what they were are not recorded in detail.

Therefore, Vivian's potion is also known as the miracle potion. According to unverified folklore, ordinary people who take this potion can become wizards, which is also listed as one of the three major legends of the origin of wizards.

However, this is ultimately just a rumor, and this origin theory has not been officially confirmed.

According to records, Vivian's Potion (Miracle Potion) allows Squibs to cast minor spells after taking it, but it requires continuous use for more than a year.

The production process is extremely complicated and the configuration is very troublesome. If no step goes wrong, even if a top potion master is involved, it will take at least a full year.

The materials are precious, the preparation is complicated, and it requires the help of a potion master; all three are indispensable.

Furthermore, its effect is only to allow Squibs to cast some minor spells, and it requires more than a year of use. This is why the wizarding world has not seen Vivian's Potion for hundreds of years; no one is willing to spend the time and effort to make it.

Upon hearing Dudley's description of Vivian's potion, even Vernon, who was extremely annoyed with Snape, was stunned. He truly hadn't expected that the unknown potion Snape used to feed little Lily would be such a precious thing.

Snape really went to great lengths to get Lily to go to Hogwarts.

Dudley really wanted to tell Snape that even if Lily was just an ordinary person, he could still find a way to get her to Hogwarts. However, seeing how enthusiastic Snape was, he didn't want to dampen his enthusiasm.

"So what exactly is the connection between this potion and Vivian?"

Harry discovered a blind spot.

"They probably want to use the name of the Miracle Witch," Dudley said.

Even if Harry asked him that, he wouldn't know; it was just what was written in the book he was reading, and he had only repeated it.

Dali did have a guess.

As for the name...

It's not that it has to match the content.

Strictly speaking, the potion has absolutely nothing to do with Vivian; the only connection is that it's a miracle.

But simply calling it a miracle potion is too ordinary; it needs to be infused with some ancient legends to elevate its status.

Look, it features Vivian, King Arthur, and Merlin. Doesn't that instantly elevate its sophistication?

"But this potion isn't for witches, is it?"

Dudley thought for a moment and replied seriously, "According to the records, the first Squib to take this potion was a wizard."

Harry: "."

Yes, Vivian's potion isn't a witch's potion, but it does have a side effect: it can improve skin.

But what it's called isn't the point; what's important is that this potion is truly precious.

It's a pity about the taste of the potion.

According to Dudley, none of the potions taste good; even adults find them unpleasant, let alone a child as young as Lily.

Fortunately, potions generally have a long shelf life and can be preserved for a long time after being cast.

'Knock knock knock'

There was a knock on the door.

Hermione went out with the Grangers early this morning, saying they wouldn't be back until tonight, and she has a key to the front door so she can open it herself, so it definitely wasn't her.

None of the remaining people would come this early, and they didn't even call to let us know beforehand.

Harry went to wash up, and Dudley went over and opened the door.

Standing outside the door was an unexpected guest.

Sirius Black.

Dudley almost didn't recognize him when he opened the door. This guy had changed his usual slovenly appearance. He had tidied his hair, shaved his beard, and styled his hair. He was also wearing a very formal suit. He looked completely different and quite presentable.

"Hello, Dali."

Sirius seemed a little nervous; he even stammered when he greeted people.

He was afraid that Dali would close the door if he saw him.

"I'd like to see Harry. Can I wait for him at the door? I promise it won't cause you any problems."

Sirius's tone was incredibly humble; he genuinely wanted to see Harry.

"Harry is still washing up, please come in first."

Dudley said calmly that he knew about the improvement in his relationship with Harry. Harry had told him that, in order to show his gratitude for Sirius's help in the Triwizard Tournament, he needed to take a day off during the holidays to go out with him.

Sirius Black is Harry's godfather after all. Since he wants to make up for the losses he has incurred over the years, Dudley has no reason to refuse him. As long as he is good to Harry, that's all that matters.

Moreover, in order to pick Harry up, this guy didn't even ride his own motorcycle, the same kind that the "ghost fire boy" had, but instead drove a Ford.

Sharp-eyed Dali noticed that a passing traffic policeman had issued a ticket to the Ford parked on the side of the road.

Hopefully Sirius knows where to pay the fine.

Sirius Black was visibly startled when Dudley rushed into the room and saw Snape in the living room.

What are you doing here?

Where I am is none of your business.

Snape gave a very cold reply and then completely ignored Sirius.

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment, and Vernon could clearly feel that the temperature around him had dropped significantly.

By this time, Penny had already comforted little Lily and came over with her in her arms.

Sirius Black was clearly intrigued when he saw Lily in Penny's arms. Upon seeing Lily's eyes, which were exactly the same as Lily's, he blurted out without thinking.

"Oh, she's so cute, she looks just like James when he was a kid."

Dudley: "???"

Vernon: "?!?!"

Snape: "!!!"
