Chapter 17: The Foley Conversation

I have to say, It's truly amazing.

"Braun, follow me to the study.

I have something to tell you. "

Mr. Foley sees that the Weasleys have left, turned to Braun, who was still staring at the flames in the fireplace as they turned back to red.

"Yes father."

Braun replied respectfully to his father.

To be honest, he doesn't like this feeling of distance between them, and he always has a feeling that he was very close to his parents, but there is also a sense of distance from each other.

He then maintained the pace and followed Mr. Foley to the study.

After closing the door, both father and son seated themselves.

After a few minutes of silence, Mr. Foley leaned back in his chair and put his legs on the table. His face still showing a concerned look at his son.

"Dad, what did you want to talk with me?"

He knew from the memories that his father would not disturb him and much less call him over to the study unless there was something important that needed to be discussed.

"Nothing, Braun, don't be nervous. It's just that I heard Dom say that you want to learn her magic. "

"Yes, father.

I think the house elf's apparition magic is powerful.

So I wanted to see if I could learn it. "

"I have to say that your idea is indeed good, but unfortunately the magic of house-elves is different from ours.

And I think the most important thing for you right now is to study what you will need to know when you go to school next year. Magic like apparition movement is still early for you. "

His purpose in calling Braun this time was to keep him from trying these dangerous things on his own. Don't be ambitious and honestly learn the basics.

"Of course, father. I am already memorizing "A Thousand Magical Herbs and Mushrooms". "

"Oh?"

Mr. Foley was a little surprised.

His face turned serious and he said:

"Wormwood infusion."

Braun was stunned for a moment.

"Wormwood infusion."

Mr. Foley asked again.

Knowing that this was his father testing him, Braun no longer hesitated:

"Wormwood infusion is a potion crafting material extracted from wormwood."

"What does it do?"

"When combined with Narcissus root powder, you can make a powerful sleeping pill - the decoction of living hell (life and death water). The sleeping beauty of Muggle fairy tales was fed this potion by wizards. It leads to a deep sleep. "

"Barbo tuber pus."

Mr. Foley continued without emotion.

"The barbo tuber is one of the few ugly magical plants. It looks like a black slimy slug.

They emerge vertically from the soil and then squirm slightly, with many shiny pustules on the surface.

Squeezing by hand gives you a sticky yellow-green pus that smells of pungent oil.

However, we need to wear dragon skin gloves when squeezing, otherwise it will cause great damage to the skin. "

"Role..."

"Treat hardened fans."

"White fresh."

"White fresh is..."

"Solitary grass"

"Solitary grass is..."

Braun proceeded to answer a few more of the questions posed, but after a point, he was asked about herbs that he hasn't memorized yet.

"Well done!"

Mr. Foley couldn't help but applaud Braun's brilliant answers.

Although these are memorized, but it's already very impressive for a kid like Braun.

As a person who has memorized the entire book, Mr. Foley knows clearly how difficult it is to memorize this book.

When he first learned Potions, Memorizing "A Thousand Magical Herbs and Mushrooms" alone took him half a year.

'I didn't expect that my son, who thought he was a squib, would be able to remember it so quickly.' he was thoroughly shocked in heart, but still maintained an inexpressive facial expression.

You must know that it has only been two days since he awakened his magic power.

And that's all for today.

Magic books are not so easy to read.

Just like Muggles know the recipe for some potions but still can't configure them.

If there is no magic in itself, There is no use to remembering them.

Even though reading them is mentally burdensome. This is not an exaggeration but a fact.

It's like the books in Hogwarts' forbidden area that have their own consciousness.

If you can't resist their consciousness, you won't be able to read them.

It can even hurt the person trying to read them because of this.

This is also the reason why students are prohibited from reading in the banned book section.

Thinking of his son's extraordinary memory, Albert Foley couldn't help but be a little excited.

But he didn't show that excitement.

Excellent memory is just the most basic requirement to be a potions master.

Brewing potions is the most critical ability of a good potion master.

But it's too early to say that Braun has the makings of a Potions master.

The Brewing of the potion is not a simple stew mixed with various ingredients and boiled.

The help of a magic wand is also required.

Without a magic wand, the boiled out mixture is just a worthless stew.

Wands, in turn, need to be available at the time of admission to the wizarding school.

This belongs to the iron law of the wizarding world.

No one can defy this, Even if you are pureblood, even if you are Dumbledore.

So Braun still has time to wait if he wants to brew a potion.
