Chapter 6: The Seer Potion
Harry took a large sealed glass bottle from the table, removed the stopper, and carefully poured about 100 milliliters of pure water into the cauldron. After all, he would be the one drinking the potion.
Next on the list was “13 drops of night vanilla juice.”
Harry took out a tiny brown bottle from the silver chest, used a pipette, and carefully dripped 13 drops into the cauldron. A faint but soothing fragrance emanated, making Harry feel an unusual sense of peace.
“7 gold mint leaves…” Harry read from the potion formula card.
He picked up a silver-patterned can, removed its lid, and with his bare hands, scattered a few leaves into the cauldron. He caught a whiff of a fresh and stimulating scent.
“4, 5, 6, 7. Perfect,” Harry said.
He then looked at the potion formula on the card: “3 drops of poison hemlock.”
At that moment, Dobby said, “Great wizard Harry Potter, this is very poisonous. Dark wizards use it to kill people.”
Harry nodded, then carefully changed pipettes and dripped the poison hemlock into the cauldron. The mixture emitted a strange smell that freshened his mind.

Next was “9 grams of dragon blood grass powder.”
Harry reached into the silver chest and pulled out a transparent test tube containing deep black powder. He used a beaker and a scale to measure 9 grams of the powder and poured it into the cauldron, stirring the mixture twice with a dark wood ladle.
“In fact, from what I remember, the materials from before were just supplemental. The exact amount doesn’t really affect the final outcome. The last two are crucial. The amount can be slightly lowered, but it cannot deviate too much, or my enhancement could fail. Even a slight excess could cause mental problems or worse.”
Harry carefully pulled out a black glass bottle from the silver chest.
“Lavos Squid’s blood, 10 milliliters. This kind of squid is considered an extraordinary biological species. It is clearly mutated and covered in mystery. Its blood will rapidly break down under sunlight and lose its unique qualities. It must be stored in opaque material,” Dobby explained.
Harry quickly and carefully retrieved 10 milliliters of the blood with a test tube. The blood was sky blue, producing illusory bubbles from time to time, as though connected to the spiritual world.
The moment the blue blood entered the cauldron and made contact with the previous liquid, it produced bubbling sounds. The surrounding light turned a light blue, giving Harry a strange sense of both distance and familiarity, like being in a mother’s womb. It elevated his soul.
“The final item: Stellar Aqua crystal, 50 grams,” Harry said. In his hand was a piece of extremely pure crystal, appearing gelatinous like jelly, lacking hardness. Under the blue light’s illumination, it reflected bits of light, seeming to contain a resplendent void of stars within.
“This is excellent material for the creation of divination crystals… Just a little less, in case of any mistakes.” As Harry measured, he used a tiny patterned silver blade to extract the crystal.
“Pure water, night vanilla, gold mint leaves, poison hemlock juice, dragon blood grass, Lavos Squid blood, and Stellar Aqua crystal make up a Seer…” Harry recalled the formula.
With everything ready, Harry added a few blocks of Stellar Aqua crystal into the cauldron.
Sizzle!
Illusory fog instantly spewed forth, turning the room into a blur. Harry seemed to see a vast array of stars amid the fog and felt as if he was being observed by an invisible presence.
A few seconds later, the fog dissipated. Harry used the dark wood ladle to scoop out some sticky dark-blue liquid. It had strange characteristics—gooey and inseparable, not a bit left in the black cauldron.
Harry poured the liquid into a cup

“It’s done. It's my Seer potion,” he said.
