Nowadays, there is an interesting story circulating in Hogwarts that is talked about a lot by students.
The Ravenclaw student who spent a lot of money to buy the Buffer Brain Refresher was invited by Snape to have afternoon tea. The Potions Master claimed that most of the Buffer Brain Refreshers prepared by wizards were highly toxic, and asked the student to take out the potion for him to check on the grounds that drinking the poisonous Buffer Brain Refresher might turn him into a fool.
The Ravenclaw student claimed that the potion came from Mr. Hertog Dagworth, was safe and reliable, and that he had already drunk the Buffy Brain Stimulant and did not become a fool.
Since it has already been drunk, it is impossible to take it out for him to check.
According to the student, Snape's expression at the time was quite interesting, but the price he paid was points deducted and detention. There are not many things that can make the Potions Professor feel embarrassed.
He couldn't do anything to the other party.
There is no explicit prohibition in the Hogwarts school rules on the use of Buffer's Alert, but it is mentioned in trivial records that it is prohibited to use Buffer's Alert to cheat during exams, which is similar to the fact that the use of Felixir to cheat in competitions and exams is prohibited.
Felixir and Buffy's Brain Stimulant are extremely rare potions in the entire wizarding world, not only because the ingredients used in their preparation are precious and rare, but a small mistake may cause the entire potion to be scrapped. Even those skilled potion masters are unwilling to spend time on preparing these two potions.
In the black market of the British wizarding world, it is almost impossible to find anyone selling this stuff privately, not to mention that it is almost impossible for a Hogwarts student to get the Buffer Brain Waking Potion.
Initially, the purpose of adding the Bafe brain stimulant to the exam was more to be on the safe side.
After all, accidents can happen, and Albert is that so-called accident.
However, who would have thought that Albert was very familiar with a potion master and could get these two very rare potions from him
Even if I say it, I guess few people would be willing to believe it.
However, this is the fact.
Snape's story spread quietly in Hogwarts, and more and more people became interested in Buffy's brain stimulant.
Someone secretly contacted Albert, hoping to get a bottle of Bafe Brain Stimulant from him.
According to black market merchant Kenneth Toler, the price of a bottle of Bafe Brain Refresher has risen to 20 Galleons.
Many wizards' families are not short of money. If they can use a few Galleons to exchange for a good future, they are actually willing to do so.
Slytherin students, in particular, are the most enthusiastic users of Buffy's Brain Stimulant.
They certainly wouldn't mind if they could get away with cheating on the test.
After all, if you want to join the Ministry of Magic after graduation, some professions depend on the wizard's test scores.
Using whatever means necessary to achieve the goal is in line with the Slytherin creed.
Of course, many people also had doubts about the Bafe Brain Stimulant, but after someone announced the ingredients and preparation method of this medicine, all those who questioned it shut up.
Rune snake eggs might be a little strange to them, but everyone knew very well what dragon claw powder was. That thing itself was very expensive, not to mention his most terrible failure rate in brewing potions.
In the words of Kenneth Tolle:
Too expensive
Then don't buy it.
Kenneth Toller, the black-hearted guy, even planned to raise the price of the potion to fifty Galleons, but no, no, no matter how much money they were willing to spend.
"Is there really no way to get some more?" Kenneth Toller said as he walked, "This is a chance to make a fortune, as long as you can..."
"You can sell dragon claw powder," Albert suggested. "That stuff really works, and the effect is amazing. It can improve your memory. Your brain will become very flexible within a few hours, which is enough for exams."
"It is forbidden to use dragon claw powder during the exam. Last year, a guy used that stuff and was caught during the exam." Kenneth Toler shook his head.
"Oh, that's a very sad story," Albert said casually.
You probably don't know that not long ago, a wicked guy wanted to sell dried fox dung to others disguised as dragon claw powder.
A Slytherin student accidentally got infected and was admitted to the school hospital.
Now, no one dares to buy dragon claw powder casually, for fear of buying something strange.
"Where is the guy who sells contraband?" Albert suddenly asked.
"He was admitted to the school hospital shortly afterwards because he had food poisoning from eating too much dried fox dung." Kenneth Toller had a very strange expression.
"You can think about it. This is a good opportunity to make a fortune."
I learned how to make Buffy's Brain Refresher from Hertog Dagworth, but Rune Snake Eggs are hard to come by, unless you... well, our Potions Professor should have some in his private warehouse." Albert said calmly, "But the failure rate of making Buffy's Brain Refresher is too high."
Kenneth Toler opened his mouth and widened his eyes in disbelief. "Are you crazy? You don't want me to..."
"I just want to tell you the difficulty." Albert shook his head, "so that you can get rid of that unrealistic idea as soon as possible."
"If I could get it..." Kenneth Toller said suddenly.
"Stop, don't tell you I told you these things." Albert looked at Kenneth Toler with a strange expression, turned around and prepared to stay away from him.
"If you want the formula and detailed notes, I can sell you one," he said. "Ten Galleons, a very detailed formula, with all the key points that Hertog Dagworth talked about recorded in it."
"Are you crazy or am I crazy?"
"You must be crazy."
"You're right, if it can be made..." Kenneth Toller muttered, "Okay, but I want to see the original version."
"You must be crazy." Albert looked at Kenneth Toler with a strange expression and warned, "I advise you not to try it, otherwise the failure rate of the potion will make you lose everything you own underwear."
"No." Kenneth Toler thought about how to operate. He planned to make the money through his family's channels.
“You really have to buy it!”
"Buy it, why not? When will you give me the detailed formula?" Kenneth Toller said enthusiastically, "If it really works, it will be a terrible profit."
"I think he must be crazy."
After Kenneth Toller left, Fred, George and Lee Jordan appeared beside Albert without warning, and muttered as they watched Kenneth Toller gradually go away.
"You think he won't succeed?" Li Qiaodan asked puzzledly.
"It's difficult." Albert couldn't help shaking his head.
Both Felix and Buffy's Brain-Stirring Potion were notoriously difficult to prepare, requiring even Hercule Dagworth to be extremely careful.
Moreover, if they fail once, the cost of materials will probably be enough to make them suffer.
Although the failed product can be recycled by diluting it, this potion is poisonous and who knows what will happen if you drink it.
