Improvement of the Wolfsbane Potion

Castle corridor.

With the improved Wolfsbane Potion in his pocket, Lucien walked leisurely toward the Headmaster's Office.

More than a month later, Dumbledore finally returned to his loyal Hogwarts.

Of course, Lucien also discovered that during the time that Dumbledore was away, the school was still running smoothly under the management of Professor McGonagall, the vice principal.

It was thanks to Professor McGonagall that Dumbledore was able to entrust the school to her and go about his business on his own.

As Lucien walked, he thought that if Dumbledore stayed outside for a while longer, Hogwarts might not be so "loyal."

As the end of the semester approaches and the annual exam month arrives, the atmosphere in the castle has noticeably changed.

The young wizards coming and going in the corridor all had dark circles under their eyes, some light and some dark.

Some people were walking along reading books, almost bumping into walls; others were muttering to themselves, as if reciting potion recipes; still others held a brown potion bottle in one hand and flipped through notes with the other...

Lucien recognized the medicine bottles; they were the Ox-Horse Potion he had previously launched, excellent for refreshing the mind.

By the end of the semester, sales of this magic potion had skyrocketed.

Lucien was a little helpless. He remembered that in the original story, the exam was canceled because of the Chamber of Secrets incident.

But, well, who told someone to deal with the Basilisk and the Chamber of Secrets beforehand?

So the exam should still be taken.

Moreover, with Professor McGonagall now in charge of school affairs, there's even less reason to exempt her from the exams.

To be honest, Hogwarts has far too few exams; once a year is really unreasonable.

At the very least, there should be no shortage of midterm or final exams throughout the semester.

Students only study diligently at the end of each school year, which is one of the reasons why the academic level of Hogwarts students is getting lower and lower.

They slack off during the semester, cram for the final exam, and forget everything after the test.

Lucien naturally didn't need to worry about reviewing. After he finished improving the curse-related potions, he could easily find time to review the key points.

Furthermore, the system is nearing its upgrade and has been dormant, with no new loans being triggered recently.

The improvement of Wolfsbane Potion mainly started from two aspects.

Firstly, regarding the effects, after taking the original Wolfsbane Potion, although the Werewolf can maintain his sanity on the night of the full moon, he will be extremely weak after transforming and will need a full week to recover.

By adjusting the refining process and material ratio of the moonlight dew, Lucien successfully shortened the period of weakness to two or three days.

For Werewolf who have to transform once a month, this means they can endure four or five days less of pain, return to normal life faster, and reduce the risk of injury due to weakness.

Secondly, the refining method is complex. The original potion is complex to refine, requires extremely high precision, and some materials are expensive, which most Werewolf wizards cannot afford.

Lucien simplified the refining process and replaced some rare materials with more common and cheaper ones, while ensuring that the efficacy of the medicine was not reduced but increased.

This makes the potion more widely available, allowing more Werewolf to use it.

Because Werewolf are a group that is discriminated against and ostracized by the Wizarding World.

Even though it wasn't their fault that they were infected and turned into Werewolf, those Werewolf wizards still lived a difficult life at the bottom of society.

Their meager income did not support a stable Wolfsbane Potion, and many could only find a secluded place to lock themselves away on the night of the full moon, enduring the pain and madness.

In addition, during the process of improving the Wolfsbane Potion, Lucien also gained some understanding of the Werewolf's curse.

This gave rise to a new idea: perhaps it would be worth trying to find a Werewolf for treatment?

However, one must be a born Werewolf, meaning Werewolf bloodline is inherently cursed.

Originally a human, infected by Werewolf through bites, thus becoming an acquired Werewolf, and the curse within him is incomplete.

However, naturally born Werewolf are extremely rare and often live far from wizarding societies, almost like wild Magical Creatures.

I need to ask someone...
