Chapter 21: Hogwarts Learning Panel, Chapter 10

Jia Siting's voice rang in Sean's ears, seemingly also cheering himself up.

"Hmm."

Sean seemed still a bit distracted, but in reality, his inner waves had settled.

If he were to stop because of difficulties, obstacles, or other people's mockery,

he wouldn't even be able to learn the Levitation Charm now.

The reason he was distracted was that he was chewing on Professor Sineipu's words.

Failure in heat, unreasonable stirring, problems with material selection...

These were the foundations of potion brewing and also the problems Sean faced.

Now there were two paths in front of him,

one was to brew potions mindlessly like learning spells, summarizing experience by relying on luck.

This path had just appeared, and it was denied by Sean.

Potions are different from spells,

this is not a safe branch of magic.

The handling and brewing of potions are dangerous and uncomfortable, and if one is not careful, it could turn into something like poisonous fog.

Trying one's luck like this is no different from gambling with potions.

Then only the other path remained.

Understand this branch of magic as quickly as possible, solve all possible problems,

and then gain proficiency through practicing potion brewing, and finally obtain titles to improve talent.

This path is more complicated and difficult than the previous one, but it is clearly viable.

And as long as there is one correct practice, the speed afterward will be much faster.

"Solve one problem at a time, but be fast, Hogwarts has more than just this one subject."

Sean's voice could only be heard by himself.

The long table in the Great Hall was filled with delicacies:

roast turkey, small sausages, peas mixed with butter, meat gravy, cranberry sauce, Christmas pudding, turkey sandwiches, toasted bread...

Dazzling.

Poor talent and Professor Sineipu's poisonous tongue didn't affect Sean's enthusiasm for stuffing his face in the slightest.

Merlin's beard... so delicious.

Sean fought quickly and elegantly.

It had been half a year, and he had never had a full meal, and even at yesterday's opening feast, he had only eaten until he was seventy percent full.

The orphanage couldn't open up sources, so it often chose to cut expenses,

and as for how to cut expenses, Caretaker Anna had once proposed a theory that a child only needed to eat one meal a day.

Acid reflux in the middle of the night was not pleasant,

and when he was hungriest, Sean often treated the stray dogs at the orphanage gate as reserve food.

"Hermione! Here!"

Jia Siting was calling Hermione, who wanted to find a corner to sit down,

and the other party quickly ran over with a slightly red face.

"You're too loud!"

Hermione glared at Jia Siting.

"Sorry, I was afraid you wouldn't hear."

Jia Siting's dimples were deep.

"Our first class this afternoon is Herbology, and I found it's the course that appears most often on the schedule...

I guess it won't be very simple, so I memorized the book again, hoping it would be of some use.

By the way, I heard you had Potions class..."

Hermione raised her face and said many things like a machine gun.

"Herbology, sounds really good, will you get to know those magical plants? Just like... as for Potions class, I have to say..."

Jia Siting listened carefully, and the two soon began to discuss.

Their voices slowly faded in Sean's mind, and Sean took out the class schedule thoughtfully.

【Wednesday morning: Herbology, Wednesday afternoon: Herbology, Friday afternoon: Herbology】

It was indeed the most frequent of all courses.

Hogwarts' course arrangement must have deep meaning, and Herbology being scheduled so much must be because it is needed.

So why is this?

"... disastrous material selection... your material selection likely had problems..."

Sean sorted out Professor Sineipu's words, and a few seconds later, he understood the reason.

Herbology class teaches wizards material handling, and material handling is the first step in potion making.

So it is not difficult to conclude that to learn Potions, one must first learn Herbology. ===== CHAPTER 22 =====
