The Method to Restore the Pleasure Witch

During the remainder of the Christmas holidays, Harley did not go out for any more night strolls, choosing instead to study the books she had obtained from the Restricted Section.

That night, Professor Dumbledore did not ask about the whereabouts of the Powerful Potions book, nor did Madam Pince mention any news regarding missing books from the Restricted Section.

Harley had a vague suspicion that Professor Dumbledore had covered up the incident.

The Christmas holidays soon came to an end, and Harley quietly returned to the Restricted Section to put the book back in its original place.

She had already fully recorded the most important recipes in the book, the ones she was most interested in.

The remaining potions were even more complex and their effects were dangerous. Harley could easily achieve the same results through much simpler rituals.

The day after Harley returned the book, the students who had left for the holidays returned to school by train.

As soon as Hermione entered the dormitory, she gave Harley a hug and expressed how much she loved the Potions notes Harley had given her.

"The only regret is that I can't understand a lot of the knowledge inside," Hermione complained.

"The knowledge Professor Snape supplemented for you is too profound. I can guarantee that your level in Potions has completely crushed mine."

"It's fine, I'll make you a reading list. Once you finish the books on the list, you'll be able to understand the knowledge in the notes."

"Your learning ability is no worse than mine; you just haven't been exposed to the corresponding knowledge before."

Harley comforted Hermione. She was very willing to raise Hermione to her own level.

If given the chance, Harley wouldn't even mind having Lavender and Parvati join in as well.

After all, if everyone's level was high, progress would be even more rapid through mutual discussion.

Even though Harley was already very proficient in Potions, there were always some ideas that were missed due to the limitations of her own thinking.

Pooling wisdom and learning together is always the fastest means of progress. As long as she could return to being a Witch of Agelessness, sacrificing some knowledge was perfectly acceptable.

It was a pity that asking Gryffindor students to study seriously seemed a bit difficult for them, especially when the subject was Potions, which most Gryffindors hated.

At least among the girls Harley was familiar with, only Hermione was willing to settle down and study the dry and complex properties of potion ingredients.

Even the girls from Ravenclaw, such as Harley's roommate Parvati's sister Padma, had no interest in the study of potion properties.

However, in the short term, having Hermione alone was enough.

After the start of the term, Harley became increasingly busy. Professor Snape added practical lessons for Harley, teaching her how to process some precious potion materials.

Here, Harley encountered the roots of a Mist Tree, though she did not know if this Mist Tree was the same as the Mist Treeman required by the Seer pathway.

But one thing was certain: the processing methods for these two materials were different.

If one were to use the method for processing the real roots of a Mist Treeman to process the roots of a Mist Tree, the material would be rendered useless.

This made Harley increasingly cautious in her approach to this technique, and no matter how dirty or grueling the work was, she insisted on performing it herself.

This left the Weasley Twins, who were processing materials alongside Harley, dumbfounded.

On the first assignment they handed in after the start of the term, they had inexplicably received a "T" and were given a month of detention by Professor Snape, tasked with processing all sorts of disgusting potion materials.

Just the first time they handled these materials, such as cleaning the intestines of a Black-striped Rat, they were so nauseated they vomited.

But Harley could handle them herself without hesitation, and without even a frown. Although she wore gloves and a mask, it was still admirable.

In addition to studying Potions, Harley also had to spare energy for Quidditch training.

In the second match, Harley once again displayed superb skills, completely scattering the Hufflepuff formation while catching the Golden Snitch right under the nose of their Seeker, Dillinch.

It was clear that the captain of the Hufflepuff Quidditch team was very angry. They would likely be replacing their Seeker.

Despite winning by a large margin again, the training volume for the Gryffindor Quidditch team actually increased.

"We haven't won the championship in five years!" Wood said with a serious expression.

"Gentlemen, I crave the championship! Gryffindor also needs a championship!"

Therefore, Gryffindor's training volume was directly doubled. If Professor McGonagall hadn't been unable to watch any longer and stopped Wood's crazy plan, he would have even tripled it.

In such times, Harley finally researched a way to restore part of her strength.

She had determined a large portion of the correspondence between potion materials and the various materials in the world of the Sequence Pathway.

This meant that there were many potions Harley could now begin to brew. The plan to restore her strength could also be put on the schedule.

When she was fleeing back then, Harley had destructively used several magical items, crushing them and fusing them with her Mythical Creature form.

Through rituals and spiritual guidance, the Beyonder characteristics of these magical items formed a special state of existence, entangling with Harley's Mythical Creature form and sealing her status and strength layer by layer.

Therefore, to restore her power to Sequence 3, Harley also needed to break the seals layer by layer in reverse.

Each time she broke a seal, Harley's strength would rise by one sequence, and at the same time, a certain part of her Mythical Creature form would be freed from its restrictions.

At the same time, the separated mass of Beyonder characteristics could no longer be turned back into magical items, and because they were contaminated by the Mythical Creature form, they could not be used as the main ingredients for potions.

However, if they were re-formulated into potions with corresponding auxiliary materials and then absorbed by specific items, they could still form magical items at the level of Sealed Artifacts.

Because the contamination originated from Harley's Mythical Creature form, as long as she paid the price, Harley could also make limited use of these Sealed Artifacts.

As for the method of breaking the seals, it was to use specific potions to contaminate the Beyonder characteristics used for the seals, causing them to separate from Harley's Mythical Creature form.

When Harley sealed her Sequence 6 level powers, she used a magical item formed after the death of the Corrupt Baron.

Harley forcibly utilized the distorted concepts within it to place the final seal on her strength.

After finding feasible Potions and their substitute materials, Harley lay in bed that night, looking at the parchment recording the formula in her hand:

"The medicinal properties of an Earth Rhinoceros heart seem similar to those of an Earth Rhino heart, and the blood of a Unicorn Pegasus can probably be replaced by the blood of a Unicorn."

"It's a pity that Unicorn blood also carries a curse; I wonder if it's the same as what I'm thinking of.

If it is, I actually have a way..."

Harley calculated the Potion's preparation, and finally unable to suppress her sleepiness, she folded the parchment and fell into a deep sleep.

However, even in her dreams, the corners of Harley's mouth curled into a smile.

Because she saw the hope of recovering into the Pleasure Witch!

Some people say I've poisoned the story, though I personally really don't feel that way. If you have any different opinions, please join the reader group to chat. In the comment section, many of my messages disappear for no reason.

I also modified the previous chapter; the object Amon possessed has been changed to a sparrow. A reader was right, Peter Pettigrew is too disgusting and doesn't fit Amon's cool image.
