The craze brought about by the golden apple potion gradually subsided.
Aaron finally chose to keep the patent in his own hands - Scrimgeour actually had some truth in what he said. This potion, which can greatly increase a wizard's magical ability, is itself a powerful weapon. Releasing the recipe rashly will only cause endless harm.
Aaron has his own plan for the patent of the Golden Apple potion. In the future, he can open a potion workshop to produce this kind of potion and then sell it to Aurors in the Ministry of Magic of various countries.
With this sales channel alone, Aaron believes that he will not have to worry about research funding in his lifetime.
After several days of communication with Aaron, the potion masters left Hogwarts with satisfaction. Before they left, they made an appointment with Aaron to exchange letters if they encountered any problems in the future.
After that, Rita, a reporter from the Daily Prophet, said she wanted to do an exclusive interview with him, which would be on the front page.
In response, Aaron asked Runas to write an elegantly worded reply, the general content of which can be summarized as -
Don't get involved.
Everything finally calmed down again, and Aaron returned to the rhythm of teaching during the day and researching at night. He wanted to hurry up and make the alchemy product that could automatically detect enemies and completely eliminate the troubles in the school.
Soon, however, crisis struck again.
…
On this day, Aaron was chatting with Seamus in the office.
"I've noticed you for a long time, Seamus. The probability of you blowing up the cauldron in class is too frequent - it's even exceeded Neville now. Can you give me an explanation?"
Aaron's voice was gentle. He called Seamus in for a conversation and didn't mean to criticize him.
Although he did regularly blow up cauldrons in Potions class.
Under Aaron's careful guidance, the magic potion skills of the little wizards at Hogwarts have improved by leaps and bounds. Even Neville can now prepare potions worthy of an 'E'.
In fact, frying the cauldron is not that easy. Even if Neville wasn't very talented in potions, he definitely couldn't burn six cauldrons in a row - one or two would be blown to the sky.
After Aaron checked it for him, he discovered that this had nothing to do with Neville. The problem came from the crucible itself: its bottom was unevenly thick and the firing process was not in place, so it was easy to burn.
As a result, Aaron learned an ironic fact: Neville had so many bad ideas that he could buy six fake products in a row.
This also triggered some thoughts in Aaron. The magical society still maintains a closed and backward form. The production of various magical products is in the style of small workshops, and the larger ones are manual workshops. Even with the Ministry of Magic Supervision and quality are also difficult to guarantee.
For this reason, Aaron also had a special chat with Percy.
Percy was very happy about this, and finally someone could be his confidant - he had always felt that the thickness of the crucible needed a unified standard, and this was just the first step. The Ministry of Magic needed to play its true role: to make everything in the wizarding world Everything has become orderly. Only order can make society develop better.
"Standardization, this is a word that dad learned from Muggles. I heard that they are doing this everywhere now."
Percy said very excitedly.
Aaron nodded and approved of his opinion. He did not tell Percy that the reason why Mr. Weasley knew this concept was actually from his book.
However, he was also secretly surprised by Percy's insight. Although the youngest of the Weasley family had all his shortcomings, he was indeed a talent that could be developed.
Getting back to the topic, after the crucible problem was solved, Neville's potion skills have also made great progress, and he can no longer blow up the crucible.
So Seamus was quickly revealed.
Aaron also checked his cauldron and found it to be perfectly fine. This made Aaron very puzzled: Ximo obviously did well in the quizzes during class and could pass some experimental tests. Why was it so easy to explode?
Seeing Aaron ask this, Simo also wanted to cry without tears:
"I don't know either, Professor. I obviously followed your instructions every step of the way and took it very seriously, but it just exploded for some reason..."
"Do you do this in other classes too?"
"Not entirely. It's easier to do this in Charms class, but the rest is fine..." Seamus scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Is it intentional or accidental?" Aaron's eyes lit up.
"Of course... of course it was accidental, and I didn't want it to blow up!" Seamo said unconvinced.
Aaron's heart suddenly became excited, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his lips.
Here we go, a magical phenomenon happened to me!
"Professor, what's wrong with you..."
Seamus was a little uneasy - Aaron's eyes suddenly became eager. He had never seen the usually elegant and funny Professor Custer look like this!
That look made him feel nervous, as if... he was looking at a guinea pig.
"Ahem, it's okay!"
Aaron realized that he was a little out of his mind. It was not easy for him to meet such a good specimen... ah, no, the specimen. He admitted that he was indeed a little excited.
"Seamus, I'd like to do some research on you, if you'd like."
"Research?" Simo was puzzled.
"I think that it is easy for you to cause explosions when you cast spells. This is not because you are not skilled in your skills, but because of some of your innate characteristics."
"Characteristics?" Seamus was even more puzzled, "So Professor, how do you want to study it?"
"Don't worry, it will never have any impact on your body and life, I promise." Aaron solemnly promised:
"And I'm personally willing to give you some due rewards, if I need to take up your time."
Seeing what the professor said, Seamus was relieved. Professor Custer's character was well-known, so he had nothing to worry about.
"Okay, Professor, what do you need me to do?"
Aaron shook his head: "No need to do anything."
As he spoke, he called softly:
"Runas!"
Seamus soon saw something like a golden snitch flying out of the corner of the room.
He knows this thing. There are many little wizards who have come to Aaron's office. Many people know that Professor Custer has such a magical assistant.
It vibrated its transparent wings and came to Simo. It opened an eye in the middle of its spherical body and flew slowly and gracefully around Simo.
Seamo could clearly feel some kind of penetrating gaze wandering over his body, as if it wanted to see through his entire being.
Soon, Runas finished the inspection and asked Simo for a drop of blood from his fingertip. At Aaron's signal, Simo stretched out his hand and asked Runas to take a drop of blood.
Aaron gave Seamus an entire bottle of Ecstasy as compensation. This is the potion Seamus has always wanted. After experiencing it in his first potion class, he has never forgotten this magical feeling.
At this moment, a silver phoenix suddenly flew from outside the door - this was Dumbledore's patronus.
Aaron then quickly sent Simo away. After that, he heard the Phoenix say:
"Come to the professor's lounge quickly, Aaron, the second attack has happened."
