Harry Potter: Badger's Flathead

"Of course! No problem at all! As long as you bring back the honors after graduation, I will personally place your photo on the highest shelf!"

Slughorn was excited. What did Ivan mean by this? It meant that he had decided to join his Slug Club and take him as his teacher! He would also have a share in his future honors!

"Professor, there is something I want to ask you, I don't know if it is convenient for you~" Alvin said hesitantly.

"That's convenient! Just tell me what you want, you're welcome, kid!" Slughorn agreed without even thinking.

"Well, can you teach me how to make the Felixir quickly?"

Chapter 481 Ron's Birthday Disaster

"This old man is so generous! He gave me two bottles straight away, even though I just wanted to find someone to help me make the Fuling Potion!"

When Ivan left the Potions classroom, he still had two bottles of Felicis in his pocket.

Teacher Scott is very busy now and can't continue to help him take care of the children, and he also has his own things to do. While Voldemort is not paying much attention to him, he has to develop his family fortune as quickly as possible. After Voldemort's death, he can make a lot of money with his rich family fortune.

He went to Slughorn just to learn some new experiences and to have someone to help him watch when he couldn't see. He didn't expect that the old man would give him two bottles at once!

You are my uncle, so I am generous to you!

However, Alvin did not expect that the old gentleman would value a student full of honors so much. He just gave him a step, but he got such a great benefit!

But he also left two portions of materials for refining the Lucky Spirit Potion, planning to make another one later. Who would have the spare time for such a heaven-defying thing?

"Evan, are you free?" Draco popped out from the corner.

"Of course, let's go!"

Ivan nodded, and they were going to continue training in Occlumency! Draco was very talented, and he had basically mastered it in less than half a month. The next step was to learn how to use it skillfully!

“What a wonderful day.”

After seeing Ivan off, Slughorn was in a very good mood. With Ivan's personal promise to be on his honor shelf, nothing would be a problem anymore!

"Oh, by the way, I still have to prepare. The kid will come here tonight and ask me to teach him how to make the Felicis!"

Slughorn hummed a little tune and began to gather up his materials and return to his office.

"Hello, Professor!" Harry greeted.

"Ah~ It's you, Harry." Slughorn didn't expect to see Harry on the way.

“Um, you…”

"Sorry, I'm a little busy. If it's not something urgent, let's talk about it later."

Slughorn left in a hurry without waiting for Harry to finish. He didn't want to face Harry! To be more precise, he didn't want to face Harry's questions about Voldemort.

He could understand it, but he couldn't face it.

Harry sighed as he watched the old professor hurried away.

He knew that this was a way of avoiding him, and maybe he shouldn't be so anxious. What should he do now?

……

In the evening, Ivan arrived as promised. He was very curious about Slughorn's skills in refining the Felicity Potion. This thing was too delicate and the success rate was too low, so any improvement would be helpful.

Although the side effects of the stuff are a bit annoying, if you drink less, it's a magical tool! And the materials are precious, so save as much as possible.

"Good evening, professor." Ivan knocked on Slughorn's office door.

"You're here, kid. Come in, I'm ready! Let me see your mastery of potions!" Slughorn was a little impatient.

Ivan smiled politely, without any nonsense, walked directly to the workbench prepared by Slughorn and started working!

Thanks to the guidance of the teacher, Alvin is already familiar with the steps of making the Fuling potion.

Pour the belladonna juice into the pot and boil it. When the pot is hot, add the eggs of the fire ash snake and the venom of the giant spider. Keep stirring after the fire is on.

Although it seems like a simple step, it requires accurate judgment of the temperature when each material is added!

"Great, perfect!" Slughorn praised Ivan's operation. He even felt that there was nothing more he could teach.

"Thank you for the compliment, but I think I still need more experience." Alvin did not show off, but asked humbly.

Slughorn gave some advice on the temperature to add the salamander eggs to. The Felixir should be simmered on low heat for three days after the salamander eggs are added, so that the eggs can be melted at a higher boiling point and then the temperature can be lowered.

This will speed up the fusion of the egg liquid and the medicinal liquid, and will also allow more time for the essence to be released during the cooling process.

This is Alvin's purpose. Every potion master will have his own insights on the same potion, and can make the potion more effective by following similar steps!

Gain more experience, then go your own way, and finally even surpass others, this is what ambitious people should do.

Dangdang~

"Who could it be, at this late hour?" Slughorn muttered as he went to open the door.

After finishing the part about the Felicis, Alvin stayed to talk to him about some experiences regarding potions. He was chatting excitedly when he was interrupted by a knock on the door.

"I'm sorry, Professor. If I had no choice, I wouldn't bother you so late. Look at him~"

Harry said this as he moved aside, revealing the giggling Ron behind him.

"What's wrong with Wimby?" Slughorn looked puzzled.

But, he forgot Ron's name.

"He must have been poisoned by a powerful love drug..."

"Uh~Okay, help him in."

Slughorn opened the door and let the two men in.

"Hey, what's wrong with you guys so late at night?" Ivan looked up and was a little surprised to see Harry and Ron coming in.

"Evan? Why are you here too?"

"I, I want the professor to help me look at the steps of making potions and give me some advice. Can you guys do the same?"

Ivan raised the stirring rod in his hand and pointed to the crucible in front of him.

"Um...how should I put it~" Harry was a little embarrassed.

When he returned to the dormitory at night, he saw Ron sitting in front of the window, his face slightly red, grinning foolishly with an "idiotic" look on his face, and the floor was covered with the chocolate wrappers he had left over.

Feeling something was wrong, he asked, and then he saw Ron telling him about his love for someone.

He originally thought Ron was talking about Lavender, but Ron actually said his lover was Romilda!

At this moment, he seemed to remember something ~ Hermione seemed to have said that Romilda was going to give him a love potion. Looking at the greeting card on the bed, Harry understood that Ron had fallen for him!

"Pfft~"

"You smiled!"

"No, I didn't. I just thought about something happy." Alvin refused to admit it.

"You're still laughing. Go back and take a look at the Christmas presents you received. I remember Hermione said that Baby would also use a love potion on you."

This time Alvin couldn't laugh.

Yes, he was involved too! He had forgotten about it, what if he got involved too...

Looking at Ron's idiotic smile, Ivan shuddered!

Oh~ How embarrassing!

"Ha, I thought mixing this kind of antidote would be a piece of cake for you." Slughorn chuckled and started fiddling with the small medicine cabinet in his room.

But in his opinion, Harry was also a little Potions genius and should not come to him.

"I think this still requires an experienced master to be foolproof. After all..." Harry hesitated.

"Oh, dear, how about we go for a drink?" Ron suddenly hugged Slughorn and raised his eyebrows with a lewd look on his face.

It looks like Romilda has put a lot of this medicine in! The effect is extraordinary.

"I think you're right." Slughorn was speechless.

Seeing this, Harry gave a dry laugh and quickly pulled Ron away to make him sit down, so as to prevent him from embarrassing even more people.

Ron smiled foolishly and sat on the sofa in a daze, his hands making a hugging gesture, as if in his hallucination, he was hugging a little sweetheart.

Alvin loves to watch the fun, it's rare that he sees his friends making a fool of themselves, so of course he has to record it!

(??? ???)?[]

Alvin took out his cell phone and started recording Ron's embarrassment.

Harry didn't care that Ivan was beside him, and he directly apologized for his previous impatience in forcing Slughorn, also in order to ease the relationship.

Otherwise, he couldn't just keep avoiding him. If it weren't for Ron's accident this time, he really couldn't think of any reason to get close to Slughorn again.

Slughorn was not so petty. He waved his hand and said it was okay. He just didn't dare to face certain things and he didn't have any opinion on Harry.

"Here, drink it up, young man." Slughorn handed Ron a glass of potion.

"What is this?" Ron asked with a smirk.

"I'll give you some courage. After you finish drinking it, I'll take you to see the girl you love." Slughorn coaxed Ron to drink it.

After taking a sip of the potion, the quality of the Potions Master was once again demonstrated, and Ron suddenly woke up. Looking at the unfamiliar environment in front of him, he was stunned.

"What's wrong with me? Where is this?"

"You've been drugged." Harry answered Ron, trying not to laugh.

"And a strong one," Slughorn added.

"Well, do you want to know what happened?" Alvin walked over and shook the phone in his hand.

"Um...you're not going to record something that would embarrass me, are you?"

Ron had a bad feeling.

Ivan didn't say anything, just put away his phone and nodded with a sly smile on his face.

"Oh~Merlin's lace ankle pants..."

Ron had only one thought in his mind! It's over, Ivan has another handle in his hands...

"Haha~ Don't worry about it young man, it's no big deal, but you need something to refresh yourself, have a drink."

Slughorn was in a good mood tonight, and he found Ron's doubtful look quite interesting, so he wanted to have a drink on a whim! It just so happened that two of his favorite students were here.
