Hogwarts School of the Dark Arts

The four-element theory is the origin and foundation of the magic world. Its status in the magic world is just like the five-element theory in the world of fairy tales.

And it has a complete development process.

It was finally completed by Aristotle that the four-element theory truly became a complete system, that is, all things are composed of earth, water, air and fire.

However, before Aristotle, a man named Embedox also proposed two very interesting forces - attraction and repulsion.

Embedox agreed with the four-element theory, but at the same time proposed that the relatively independent four elements were mixed and separated under the action of two completely different divine forces, "gravity" and "repulsion", thus forming the universe.

The force of attraction is "love", and the force of mutual repulsion is "hate".

After reading hundreds of magic books, Xavier did not find much reference to the theory of the four elements in the books, but the pair of divine powers of "love" and "hate" was mentioned in more than one magic book.

Recalling the plots I have seen in the past, it seems that Principal Dumbledore also told Harry the importance of "love".

Xavier still remembers being disapproving of that part of the plot when he first saw it, thinking that the rhetoric was too childish and too fairy tale.

Later, after learning about the development process of the four-element theory, Xavier realized that the "power of love" mentioned by Dumbledore probably refers to the divine power of "gravitation".

What is created by the force of mutual attraction is white magic, and what is created by the force of mutual repulsion is naturally black magic.

Xavier was an Oriental in his previous life. He was an Oriental who grew up under the theory of Yin Yang and Five Elements.Xavier's view of attraction and repulsion is not simply that they are two extreme divine powers. Xavier believes that the extremes of things must reverse themselves!

Decomposition is Xavier's innate skill.

At first Xavier thought it was magic composed of the ultimate repulsive force, because so far it could break down and destroy anything.

So in this world, it will undoubtedly be classified as black magic - even if Xavier has always been unwilling to admit it.

But recently Xavier discovered that he was wrong. It is not the ultimate repulsion, because it can also extract the essence of items and small crystals, and small crystals are the solidification of energy.

In other words, the decomposition technique is actually to break down an item and then reassemble it.

Decomposition is really not black magic, it is at best not so white magic.

If I had to say it, Xavier felt that the decomposition technique was at least whiter than the magic of breaking apart.

Decomposition can be seen as the product of a perfect cooperation between attraction and repulsion.

Based on this assumption, Xavier began to study his own decomposition technique, hoping to master the pair of divine powers of attraction and repulsion through decomposition technique.

This process was very confusing. Xavier did not have a good entry point, so he could only keep using it. At the same time, he tried to mobilize different emotions when using it to see if he could have a certain impact on objective reality with his subjective initiative.

Although magic is also materialistic, it is obvious that the magic in this world must be idealistic...maybe also a little materialistic.

On the Wednesday night of the second week after school started, Xavier discussed with Harry, Ron, Hermione, and the Weasley twins for more than two hours, and finally decided on the final price of the potion hotpot base at 3 sq. share.

1 Galleung is equal to 17 Sickles, which means that 1 Galleung can buy nearly 6 portions of the magic hotpot base.

After all, it’s just the hot pot base. After buying the base, you need to buy various ingredients to have a full meal.

This price seems a bit too cheap to Xavier, but both Weasleys think this price is appropriate because this price can be affordable by most wizarding families even if they eat hot pot every day.

Even the Weasley family is willing to buy it, because one base can make a large pot of delicious food, and it can't be made only once.

The base made with magic potion essence has a very long-lasting taste. In theory, it will still have a strong fragrance after being used ten or even twenty times.

However, after confirming the price, Xavier added a potion essence to the ingredients.This essence itself has no taste, but it is not resistant to cooking. If cooked for a long time, it will emit an indescribable and very offensive smell.

Controlling the amount added, Xavier modified the hot pot base so that it can only be reused three times at most. If it is more...hehe.

At this point, the magic potion hot pot is completely completed for Xavier. Xavier is not going to intervene in the subsequent publicity and sales, and is ready to leave it all to a few of them. He will be the hands-off shopkeeper and only be responsible for supply.

The Weasley twins are very popular and have more business acumen.

They first invited their friends to cook hot pot together in the Gryffindor common room. They treated their friends to various flavors for three days in a row, and then they started selling it.

The response was very good. In just one day, the two of them rushed into the secret room to ask for Xavier's goods.

After getting the new goods, the two carried the cauldron and went around to commit crimes in the common rooms of various dormitories. One or three Hufflepuff Houses, two or four Ravenclaw Houses, no one knew how they got in.

One day they even sneaked into the common room of Slytherin House to hand out leaflets, and it was said that they later made several orders.

During this period, the two also launched a door-to-door delivery service. Customers only need to send an owl message about what flavor they want, and they will send the goods.

If it's the first time a customer buys it, the two of them will personally deliver it to them, teaching them how to eat it and what ingredients are suitable for different flavor bases.

While the business was booming, it also had some side effects.

On this day, Professor Snape looked at the liquid in the pot with an expressionless face. The alluring aroma kept pouring into his nostrils, but it did not move his expression at all.

He confiscated this from a daring Hufflepuff student when he was just in class. For this, he even deducted an unprecedented 20 points from Hufflepuff House at once!

Snape took out a small spoon and scooped a spoonful into his mouth, frowning with his eyes closed.

After a while, he opened his eyes, picked up a pen and wrote the name of a potion on a piece of parchment, and then continued to taste it.

After a while, the number of potion names on the parchment exceeded twenty.

Looking at the many familiar potions on the parchment, Snape's face suddenly changed, turning blue and white.

"Xavier? 6? 1 Irving...you are the one doing the trick, right?"

"But these potions are not something first-year students should touch..."

A sneer appeared on Professor Snape's lips, he picked up the parchment and walked out of the office to the principal's office.

When he arrived at the principal's office, before he could speak, his eyes were attracted by the scene in the principal's office.

I saw Principal Dumbledore and two professors, McGonagall and Flitwick, sweating profusely while eating a bowl around a large pot. The portraits on the wall were all wiping their mouths greedily.

"Oh, Severus, what do you want? Come, have something to eat first." Principal Dumbledore said enthusiastically.

Snape's mouth twitched.

"I'm not hungry."
