Chapter 50: The Second Potion Master Gathering (Ch 50)

“Christmas Day, time for gathering. Bruce Chen, this is a really good day to choose.”
Damocles Belby held a bottle of freshly brewed potion in his hand, looking at the message on the communication jade talisman, smiling and talking to himself.
Since we last saw each other, I’ve missed you even more.
He always remembered the exchange meeting at the Merlin Sir Group’s residence.
At that time, all the potion masters spoke freely, ideas collided, and inspiration flourished.
Bruce Chen, in particular, not only has unique ideas about refining, but also has a variety of improved brewing techniques.
How could this experience not be impressive?
The most important thing is that through the last communication, his potion level has really improved.
The bottle of freshly brewed potion in my hand is the best proof.
“The last party was a bit hasty. This time it’s a formal invitation, so we need to prepare carefully. We can’t embarrass ourselves.”
There were many people who shared the same idea as Damocles Belby, and some potion masters even contacted their friends and prepared to go together.
There is no doubt that this is destined to be a grand event exclusively for magic masters.
If it continues, it might become an organization similar to the Merlin Band in the future.
At this time, in Hogwarts, Chen Feng, after notifying all the potion masters, dialed Dumbledore’s communicator.
“Principal, I have something I want to discuss with you.”
In just a few seconds, the communicator was connected and Dumbledore’s kind face appeared on the light screen.
“Well, Professor Chen, what’s the matter?” Dumbledore, who was eating toffee fingers, raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
“It’s about the Potions Masters party that I want to hold at the school.”
Chen Feng replied slowly, and mentioned the reason for this gathering.
“Last time at Sir Merlin’s station, while resolving the misunderstanding regarding the wolfsbane potion, I thought it would be a rare opportunity for all the potion masters to gather together, so I proposed an exchange meeting.”
“Afterwards, everyone felt that it had benefited a lot, so we agreed that I would continue to take the lead next time.”
“It’s been about half a year now, and it’s the Christmas holiday, so it’s a good time to get together.”
“Therefore, I would like to hold this party directly at Hogwarts.”
After hearing Chen Feng’s words, Dumbledore was slightly surprised.
Snape didn’t say anything about this, so he naturally had no way of knowing.
It’s really amazing that a wolfsbane potion incident would eventually lead to a gathering of potion masters.
“Of course, Professor Chen.” After coming back to his senses, Dumbledore replied gently, and did not forget to remind, “As long as you don’t go to some restricted areas, you can use any place in the school.”
“Thank you, Principal!”
Although he already knew the result, Dumbledore’s tolerance still made him feel a little emotional.
Hang up the communicator, edit a Potions Master party message, select Severus Snape and click send.
The tsundere mixed-blood prince always keeps to himself, so there’s no need to video chat, text notification will suffice.
The communicator vibrated. Chen Feng glanced at the message that was replied almost instantly, smiled, and didn’t bother with it any more.
Open a magic book and immerse yourself in learning again.
The closer it gets to Christmas, the quieter the days become.
Many young wizards chose to go back to celebrate the festival, and very few stayed.
The bustle of Hogwarts faded away, and only the heavy atmosphere of the thousand-year-old school lingered.
Various ghosts begin to appear more and more frequently, such as Nearly Headless Nick, the Fat Friar, Peeves, etc.
It was a sunny day with no clouds in the sky.
Although the weather is cold, it is still bearable.
At this time, Chen Feng was engraving magic words in the auditorium to create a comfortable and warm environment.
The auditorium is spacious and has been the venue for many dinner parties, so it is more than enough to entertain various potion masters.
It was rare that Professor Snape came here early in the morning.
He looked at the busy Chen Feng with very deep eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Not long after, the venue was set up. Chen Feng saw Severus Snape and immediately greeted him: “Merry Christmas, Professor Snape.”
“You too, Professor Chen.” Snape pursed his lips, his gloomy expression changing slightly, “Also, thank you for the Christmas gift.”
“As long as you like it.” Chen Feng responded with a smile.
After all, it was the first Christmas spent at Hogwarts. In addition to giving each professor an enhanced bronze guardian medal, some small gifts were also specially selected according to their hobbies.
For example, Snape gave an idea for developing a new potion.
This thing may be of no use to others.
But Professor Snape, as a master of potions, will have the opportunity to become a grandmaster in the future, and he understands the value of this research and development idea very well.
It’s not priceless, but it’s almost there.
You must know that these are some of the inspirations and experiences that Chen Feng gained after he advanced to the master of magic potions.
“According to the time, the masters should be here soon. I have to go to the door to greet them. Professor Snape, please meet them in the hall.”
After asking this and getting Snape’s reply, Chen Feng turned around and walked out of the school.
Passing through the castle, walking along the walkway, and arriving at the bridge, I could already sense some familiar magical fluctuations from afar.
I walked quickly and opened the door, where several potion masters were negotiating.
Among them was the old acquaintance Damocles Belby.
“Sorry for the long wait, everyone. Blame me for being too careless.”
Seeing this scene, Chen Feng quickly lowered his attitude.
After all, it was an exchange meeting convened by myself, and it was really impolite to let others discuss it outside the door.
“Hey, we arrived early. It has nothing to do with Mr. Chen.” Belby said, not caring.
The same was true for the others. After the last exchange, everyone already knew that Chen Feng’s level of potions was the highest among those present.
Moreover, when sharing, they are not secretive.
This kind of behavior naturally easily gains everyone’s respect.
“Everyone, please follow me. This party will be held in the Great Hall of Hogwarts. I have asked the elves to prepare delicious food. You can drink and chat at the same time. There is plenty of time.”
Chen Feng led the way with elegant manners, and explained that this exchange meeting would last longer than the last one.
Of course he did this on purpose.
On the one hand, extending the time can make the party more relaxed and the scope of discussion wider, and on the other hand, it can delay Professor Snape.
In this way, you can seize the opportunity to go to the Room of Requirement to obtain the second Horcrux, the Ravenclaw Diadem.
He did not forget the original purpose of convening this exchange meeting.
Leading everyone to the auditorium, Professor Snape had been waiting there for a long time.
After arranging a few people to sit down, Chen Feng went to the school gate again. He went back and forth several times and brought all the potion masters. He stood in front of the stage and spoke softly.
“The purpose of the gathering is to make progress. I believe that those who have experienced the last exchange meeting have already understood this clearly.”
Looking around, everyone nodded.
Compared with the last gathering of seven or eight people, this time the number of people expanded to seventeen or eighteen because friends invited their friends.
It is a significant increase.
“Let’s not talk too much. Since everyone trusts me and is willing to come here, let me start by introducing a newly discovered method of refining magic potions.”
