Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 379 Making the Demon Blood Stone! Aunt Maggie, convinced by the 'it smells so good'

At the end of the first week of his first year, Dudley temporarily abandoned subjects he had no prior knowledge of, such as potion-making and herbalism, in order to focus on improving his immediate combat power. Instead, he concentrated on subjects related to spellcasting, transfiguration, and alchemy.

At the time, Dudley thought that he could use the system to cheat later and quickly make up for his shortcomings in subjects such as potion-making and herbalism through fusion.

As for what to integrate?

Ordinary textbooks are not considered magical items, but the monster books of monsters are genuine magical items.

Dudley originally planned to wait until the second year to obtain the method for creating the Yokai Book, record all the knowledge from subjects such as potion-making and herbalism into it, and then integrate it for his own use.

However, once Nicolas Flamel obtained the treasure trove of knowledge, the plan to create the Book of Yokai was automatically rendered obsolete.

Now, Dali already has an idea in mind:

The potion knowledge from Nicolas Flamel's memories and his collection of books, Voldemort's memories of potion knowledge, Snape's Half-Blood Prince notes of potion knowledge, Professor Slughorn's potion manual of potion knowledge, and the potion knowledge from the memories of those evil dark wizards just included...

It can also be used flexibly.

Calling him a potions master wouldn't be an exaggeration.

Naturally, one could come up with a plan to improve the Bloodstone using potion-making techniques.

With ideas and a clear direction, all that's left is to get started and make it.

Dudley has a complete set of potion-making tools in his personal space. He bought them before enrolling in school, and he only used them once, so there was no need for him to go out and buy more.

Three days and four nights later, in the experimental area within the personal space.

Despite working tirelessly for 24 hours straight, Dudley, still full of energy, gazed at the large potion-boiling cauldron in front of him and cast his final alchemical spell.

In an instant, the large pot of red liquid evaporated, leaving only a dozen or so blood-red gems of varying sizes and colors at the bottom.

The smaller ones are the size of soybeans, while the larger ones are only about the size of an adult man's thumb.

The colors range from light red to bright red to dark red.

"It's still a bit lacking! But, if I don't consider my own performance, the effect is barely enough."

Dali used the system's evaluation function to assess his own efforts one by one, and expressed his dissatisfaction.

He combined alchemy, spellcasting, and potion-making techniques to create the first batch of Bloodstones.

Only four of these can transform a Muggle into a wizard with average talent.

The rest were all defective products with varying effects, only able to transform Muggles into slightly stronger or weaker wizards than the Dursleys are now, and the limit was that they could enable people to master seven or eight common spells.

Dali understood that the problem wasn't with his condition.

He has the passive healing effect of the conceptual healing spell, so being thirsty, hungry, tired or exhausted is no problem. If his condition drops slightly, he will automatically recover to his peak condition in an instant and be able to stay energetic all the time.

For Dudley now, sleeping and eating are merely optional hobbies.

The refining of the Demon Blood Stone this time was not ideal; the problem lay in the skill level and luck.

The proficiency here does not refer to any one of alchemy, spellcasting, and potion-making techniques alone, but rather to the coordination when using all three techniques together, as well as the calculation and control of the magical reactions between them.

Another factor is luck. Whether it's creating magical items using alchemy and spell-enhancing techniques or brewing potions, it's three parts destiny and seven parts hard work.

With a bit of luck, even with less skill, you can still create some unexpected magical reactions by sheer chance, resulting in an excellent finished product.

If you're unlucky, even if an alchemist or potion master tries it themselves, they'll still fail and scrap their work several times.

Dudley was quite lucky to be able to create a Bloodstone that could turn Muggles into ordinary wizards, even with his limited skill in combining the three magical arts.

It's just that I didn't have a stroke of luck.

Dali doesn't plan to come back again anytime soon.

Four Bloodstones, enough to turn a Muggle into a regular wizard, were sufficient for his parents and aunt.

Moreover, he had already exceeded the time he had agreed upon with Old Deng.

If it weren't for the fact that two days ago, he used his mirror-marking ability to make a brief voice call to Old Deng, he wouldn't have been able to achieve this.

I said I'd postpone going to catch Mo Mo Ran, but Old Deng might already be coming to see what's going on with him.

"Dobby, just throw the raw pork into the cage. There's no need to feed the snakes one by one! I'm going out and closing the passage, so hurry up!"

Within his personal space, Dudley turned and used amplification magic to speak to the house-elves who were feeding various snakes.

In a couple of days, he would release the snakes into the Forbidden Forest and have Hagrid look after them, as it wouldn't be good to keep them in his personal space all the time.

Hearing Dudley's urging, Dobby, dressed in children's clothes, quickly agreed and then used magic to finish dividing and feeding the meat. Together with Dudley, they went through a spatial passage back to Dudley's bedroom.

It was morning, but the living room downstairs was quite lively.

Aunt Maggie came to the Dursleys' house a couple of days ago and learned from Petunia and Vernon about becoming wizards and moving to the wizarding world.

At first, she really couldn't understand it and even suspected that her brother's family had been brainwashed by an evil wizard.

However, when Vernon showed his sister the pure gold that Dudley had transformed, as well as his and his wife's faces that looked ten years younger.

Aunt Maggie fell into the "it's actually pretty good" trap.

My initial resistance vanished almost entirely.

In addition, Vernon and Penny patiently persuaded her, and even showed Aunt Maggie the spells they knew.

Aunt Maggie, who already had a very good impression of her brother's family, was quickly persuaded and aligned herself with them.

He decided to stay in the guest room until his nephew finished his important business, and then he would go with his brother's family to visit their new home in Godric Valley and get acquainted with it.

Of course, it would be even better if I could possess magical powers like my brother's family.

Dudley went down the stairs to the first floor and saw his mother, Penny, walking back and forth in the living room. Then, using the Summoning Charm, he made the teapot fly back and forth in front of Aunt Maggie.

Father Vernon went even further, casting a power-enhancing spell on Aunt Maggie, making her throw the sofa around like a punching bag.

Seeing that Aunt Maggie didn't seem to have any resistance or aversion, but rather seemed to be enjoying it, they realized that she was actually quite happy about it.

Dali knew that things were settled and there was no longer any issue of conflict between relatives.

"Cough cough..."

Dali deliberately coughed twice to attract the attention of his parents and aunt.

When Aunt Maggie saw that it was her beloved nephew, she immediately put down the sofa and came over with a look of heartache.

"Look at my precious nephew Dada, he's gotten so thin from hunger!"
