Chapter 570 Percy's Plan
Several days have passed.
Hermione was constantly thinking about how to save Sean.
She tried almost every possible method, and even considered writing to Dumbledore about it.
but----
Ginny knows about her affair with the professor. If Ginny is exposed, will the professor choose to fight to the death and take them both down with her? It's hard not to consider this possibility.
After much thought, Hermione decided to find some time to talk to Ginny.
Under the influence of the aphrodisiac, it's likely that in some time, the two of them will—
Indeed, she doesn't have much time left!
Ginny never imagined things would go so smoothly.
It's as if there's a powerful hand pulling things together from behind the scenes.
But—how could that be?
She was just lucky.
But then again—
Professor Phillips was being a little too enthusiastic.
She couldn't even tell if this passion was due to the strong effects of the aphrodisiac or Sean's own desires.
It's really hard to handle.
In this situation, she even had the idea of avoiding Sean.
Out of guilt.
To this day, she has not told Percy and Umbridge that the operation was successful.
Evening, in the Gryffindor common room.
"I mean, how am I supposed to learn Potions? I'm so bad at it—"
A group of people sat around the sofa, and Harry was particularly discouraged.
After seeing the memories Sean gave him last night, he spent the entire day enthusiastically brewing potions at the Room of Requirement.
One day was enough for him to realize once again that he wasn't cut out for it.
Even though the current Potions professor is no longer Snape.
"I've fallen so far behind in Potions class over the past few semesters, I don't even know where to start catching up—and is there any way to quickly improve my Potions skills?"
After saying that, he looked at Hermione expectantly.
"Hermione, you're the best at this! Do you have any suggestions?"
'
Hermione did not answer him.
For some reason, Harry noticed that Hermione had been looking absent-minded these past few days. Seeing Hermione's vacant gaze, he called her name a few more times.
"Hermione, Hermione?"
Hermione snapped out of her daze and shook her head without hesitation.
"no."
"Um?
Everyone else looked at Hermione with a puzzled expression.
Including Ginny.
She could swear to Merlin that Hermione's absent-minded appearance meant she had discovered something—and only something related to Professor Phillips could have made her like this.
It seems we can't delay any longer.
I'll tell Percy the news tonight.
Hermione also realized that her tone was not quite right.
"Uh—Harry—Potions Mastery is a subject that requires patience and meticulousness. Rapid improvement—of course, is not easy, but it's not impossible."
"You need to familiarize yourself with all the basic concepts, such as the important potion ingredients and their properties, and the basic mixing techniques."
"You can give it a try."
"Make cards out of the materials, just like in The Witcher 3. Write down the properties and common uses of all the potion ingredients on the cards, carry them with you, and take them out from time to time to check your memorization."
""
Leaving aside the difficulty of the method Hermione mentioned.
These suggestions alone—the familiar Hermione is back.
As Hermione explained to Harry "how to learn Potions," she gradually came up with some ideas.
"Last semester, Professor Phillips wanted to develop a game."
"I think that game might be helpful to you."
"What game?"
Ron's eyes lit up at the mention of games.
Professor Phillips has become the uncrowned godfather of gaming in the wizarding world thanks to the games "Wizard Kill" and "Plants vs. Zombies".
Even outside the school, people were constantly playing.
Some even wanted to create a gaming league and have Sean as their coach.
However, Sean declined due to being too busy.
Hermione recalled the name of the game and said uncertainly.
"It seems like... a 'farmhouse pharmacy'?"
She added another sentence.
"It's a game for two people; Professor Phillips says it could also be called the 'Breakup Pharmacy,' where two people work together to create potions."
"That sounds very interesting."
Harry said with some concern.
"I'll go see Professor Phillips again in the next few days to see if he has a demo of this game. If he does, it would be a real lifesaver—"
A short while later, Ron left.
The reason, of course, is that Lavender has returned.
The two of them walked out of the common room together, and it was unclear where they were going.
When Hermione saw the two return, it was already very late.
Most of the young wizards in the common room had already returned to their respective dormitories.
Only a handful of people remained.
Harry, the last one memorizing the potion formula, yawned and was about to leave.
Hermione glanced at Ginny, who was reading a book on the sofa.
"I'm leaving too, Harry. See you tomorrow."
See you tomorrow, Hermione.
After Hermione returned to her dorm, she didn't go straight to bed as usual.
According to her observations, Ginny is planning something tonight.
Otherwise, it would be hard to explain why Ginny, who was clearly reading, didn't turn a single page in two and a half hours.
After Hermione left, Ginny put the book down.
Now—she's all alone in the entire common room.
Time passed little by little, and the clock hands gradually moved toward twelve.
Finally, the fireplace responded, and Percy's face appeared in the flames.
"How's it going, Ginny? Anything you've learned?"
This is just a routine inquiry.
After a long period of no progress, Percy had already given up on the plan.
Looking back, I was really quite foolish.
How could someone come up with such an unreliable plan?
"Yes, the plan was a success."
"Don't be discouraged. If it really doesn't work out, we can try a different plan—wait, wait!"
Percy looked at Ginny in disbelief.
What did he just hear? He couldn't have imagined it, could he? The plan succeeded?!
"What...what did you say?" he asked again to confirm.
"The plan was a success."
Ginny blushed as she explained.
"A few days ago, I put a love potion in Principal Phillips' teacup. As long as he finishes his tea and then eats pastries, he will be affected by the love potion."
In the shadows of the stairwell, a small, thin figure nodded.
No wonder—that explains it.
The figure was Hermione. She was now filled with regret, regretting why she had been so careless.
If so, she should check it.
Or perhaps if Professor Phillips had been informed of this beforehand, the situation would be entirely different now.
Upon hearing Ginny's words, Percy was overjoyed.
Then, remembering Sean's actions, his expression tightened, and he looked urgently at Ginny, asking, "Did you see him eat the pastry with his hands that were smeared with the aphrodisiac? Phillips is always cunning—he might just be pretending to have taken the aphrodisiac. We have to be careful."
Ginny shook her head, but answered resolutely, "I didn't see it with my own eyes."
"but"
"This happened several days ago."
"6
"Based on my observations over the past few days, Professor Phillips has definitely taken an aphrodisiac."
Seeing Ginny's certainty, Percy felt relieved.
"In that case, I'll find a few reporters to go to Hogwarts under the guise of interviews in a few days."
"Make arrangements so that you seduce him in his office that day, making sure you're not undressed."
"Then I made my entrance with my men."
"Caught red-handed—"
