章 48: Robbery
By mid-October, Ethan had maintained the habit of going to the Room of Requirement to practice every day.
Ethan had already returned the mouse Peter Pettigrew to Ronald.
After many days of practice, the improvement was quite obvious.
Name: Ethan Adrian
Age: 11
Bloodline: Wizard
Talents:
"Super Soul" (A stronger soul brings higher learning efficiency and casting speed.)
"Strong Body" (Improves physical fitness and adaptability to magic through exercise.)
"Heart of Darkness" (Enhances black magic talent; use black magic without any emotional assistance.)
"Focus" (Greatly improves learning efficiency.)
"Animal Affinity" (Also effective for magical animals.)
"Fire Affinity" (Increases control and power over fire magic, and has a strong influence on fire magic. The deeper the understanding of the spell, the greater the improvement.)
Spells: Killing Curse (10), Cruciatus Curse (10), Imperius Curse (10), Fiendfyre (10), Occlumency (7), Mjolnir (6), Armor Curse (6), Stretch (5), Siphon Energy (5), Shadow Walk (5), Transfiguration (4), Petrification (3), Disillusionment (3)
Fiendfyre was finally maxed out. Now it can be controlled freely. Even if a large flame is ignited, as long as it is released by Ethan, he can extinguish the magic power in it with a thought.
At the same time, Potions and Alchemy were added to the panel, and other aspects had also improved to a certain extent.
If Ethan were to fight Dumbledore now, he would definitely lose.
However, fighting a top wizard like Snape, who is proficient in dark magic and combat, would not be a problem.
Additionally, the wallet, which was originally shriveled, had become full again during this period.
In more than a month, cumulative sales exceeded 700 bottles, which might not sound like much.
But considering the number of people at Hogwarts—about 70 per year, with just over 500 students in total—five Galleons a bottle is not a price that everyone can afford?
Among them, Slytherin contributed the most.
There is no way around it. As a gathering place for pure-bloods, Slytherin students are wealthy. One academy's sales volume surpassed that of the other two academies combined.
It was Cassandra who helped Ethan break into Slytherin. Although she was only a first-year student, she had the endorsement of her family and was very influential in Slytherin.
Of course, she did not do it herself but delegated it to two younger brothers.
Another point is that Cassandra did not ask for any Galleons but only requested Ethan to agree to one condition. The two followers were also volunteering their labor.
As for the condition, Ethan agreed without hesitation. He was eager to compete with her, and she would decide the time.
But after waiting for so long, Ethan had not received her competition notice.
Today, Ethan borrowed books from the Hogwarts library as usual and was about to return to the Ravenclaw common room.
At this moment, five Slytherin students blocked Ethan's path.
"Are you Ethan Adrian?"
The leader, a little wizard with an arrogant demeanor, almost pointed his finger at Ethan's head.
"Yes, who are you?"
"If you have nothing to do, get out of the way!"
Ethan was not inclined to be polite with those obviously looking for trouble and looked at them with a mocking expression.
Bullying? School violence?
Would I, Ethan, be afraid of this?
I'm only afraid that you're not violent enough, that you don't dare to start first!
"Thinking that you have some talent, you don't take others seriously. This is not okay. Today, let the senior teach you how to greet seniors in Hogwarts."
Before the leader could speak, one of his followers, unable to contain himself, drew his wand and started.
They were the lowest group in Slytherin. The contempt chain went like this: pure-bloods despise half-bloods, and half-bloods despise Muggle-borns.
Since there were no Muggle-borns in Slytherin, they were at the bottom of the hierarchy.
Thus, these fourth-year students had to huddle together for warmth, and this huddling was, of course, to be despised and must continue.
Now being mocked by a Muggle-born, this directly shattered their already fragile self-esteem even more.
"Harvey, have you forgotten our purpose?"
The leader gave Harvey a look, realizing that fighting alone would not solve the problem.
"Sorry, Barry."
Harvey apologized immediately, showing that he was the lowest in this small group.
"Hand over the formula for the Buraffio's Brain Elixir that you supposedly stole."
They went straight to the point and invented a reason.
Even if Ethan reported them to Dumbledore later, they would insist that it was Ethan who stole their family potion book, finding the potion formula in it, otherwise, how could a Muggle-born wizard have such a precious potion?
But it wouldn't work like the idiot before.
You hit him, and he has wounds on his body, with people watching him.
If he still refuses to hand over the formula, Dumbledore would have a reason to intervene, and they would suffer the loss, never having a chance to get the formula in the future.
At first, although they were jealous of Ethan's potion, they didn't dare to confront him directly and could only think about it in their minds.
But Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle came to them some time ago.
They said that Ethan was too popular in the first year and overshadowed the glory of Slytherin, so they wanted them to beat Ethan and then steal his potion.
Crabbe and Goyle didn't want the formula for the Buraffio's Brain Elixir; it was their own spoils.
The Crabbe and Goyle families had no significant status, but everyone knew they were backed by the Malfoy family, with the older generation following Lucius Malfoy and the younger generation following Draco Malfoy.
Although the Malfoy family had declined over the years, they still had influence among pure-blood wizards and remained school directors.
It can be said that they dared to act because they believed in the support of the Malfoy family behind them.
"You stole our potion formula?"
"Tell me, what is the formula for the Buraffio's Brain Elixir? Since you falsely accuse me of stealing yours, then you must know what is in the formula. Or is it that your brains are filled with troll feces, and you can't even remember the potion formula?"
Ethan looked at them with a mocking expression. So this is what they were thinking.
All along, when Ethan gave the Buraffio's Brain Elixir to Fred and the others to sell, he didn't hide it. It was okay for others to know about it.
But he didn't expect someone at Hogwarts would resort to such robbery.
