Chapter 1 Vaughn Weasley
A summer morning in Devonshire.
The cool morning breeze swept across the fields outside the village of Autri Saint Cachipol, over Weasel Mountain, and made the lush reeds behind the mountain ripple like waves.
The residents of Autri Saint Catchpol village have always believed that there is nothing there but reeds and wilderness.
But the wind knew that a wizarding family lived in seclusion among those vast reeds.
It has a sizable garden, and the pond in the garden ripples as the reeds sway.
The main building is a tall, dilapidated house. Only the first floor looks solid and well-maintained. Although the paint is old, it is well-preserved. There is also a wooden sign with the words "Humble Abode" hanging at the entrance.
It seems to tell the story of a young couple who, more than twenty years ago, chose to settle here and poured all their passion for life and their hopes for a warm home into that little house.
But clearly, life's unexpected events far exceeded their expectations; as they had more and more children, the cottage was built higher and higher.
Until it turned into this strange state it is today!
The top floor of the "Humble Abode," which was occupied by ghouls a few years ago, has now been renovated. Rows of medicinal herb racks stand against the wall, piled with boxes and bottles, making it look messy and crowded. Only a small open space has been cleared in the very center of the attic.
A simple experimental table was set up there, with various instruments needed for brewing potions arranged in an orderly manner. The furnace was burning, and the potion in the crucible was bubbling and gurgling.
In front of the crucible, red-haired Vaughn Weasley meticulously processed the medicinal materials and then checked the temperature of the liquid in the crucible.
"Cloak grass, African tree snakeskin... um, and a touch of fairy wings..."
Warn turned the fire down and waited for the crucible to cool down before putting the last portion of ingredients into the pot.
"Finally, add the sapwort to provide the body with plasticity for the beauty potion..."
He murmured to himself as he carefully observed the changes in the liquid inside the crucible. As the liquid herb dissolved, the temperature steadily decreased until the last bubble burst, and a miraculous reaction occurred inside the pot.
The originally viscous, dark liquid quickly changed from turbid to clear, like freshly melted rock sugar that hadn't yet caramelized, emitting a sweet aroma.
"It's a success!"
Vaughn quickly and accurately retrieved a box of bottles from the seemingly messy herb shelf, waved his old wand to float the potions, and poured them into small bottles.
Finally, carefully affix your own handwritten labels:
【Vorn Beauty Products (Anti-wrinkle type)】
Apply topically and massage to smooth away wrinkles and restore healthy, firm skin.
After finishing everything, Vaughn stretched vigorously, the sound of his bones rubbing together comfortably. He looked out the attic window at the reeds swaying like waves in the morning breeze and the gradually brightening sky, feeling somewhat dazed.
Eleven years have passed since I transmigrated to this world. Since my birth, I have known that my last name is Weasley and that I have five older brothers named Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fred, and George.
And his twin brother, who was kicked by himself at birth and was born 5 minutes later, was named Ronald Billies Weasley, or Ron for short.
How could Vaughn not have imagined what kind of world he had transmigrated to!
Harry Potter...
Eleven years ago, although the memories of my past life are still quite clear because I often recall them.
But after living in this world for so long, the past inevitably begins to fade.
Vaughn shook his head, stopping himself from thinking about it, and instead silently recited:
"system!"
As this thought crossed his mind, a panel invisible to others appeared before his eyes:
[Host: Vaughn Weasley]
[Magic Scale: 370 (500 for a typical adult wizard)]
【天赋：魔咒学7、黑魔法6、变形术7、魔药学10、草药学6、占卜学2 (满值为10)】
【魔咒：大脑封闭术LV5(MAX)、铁甲咒LV3(2/8)、缴械咒LV2(2/4)、漂浮咒LV2(0/4)、石化咒LV2(0/4)、火焰咒LV2(1/4)、照明咒LV2(0/2)……】
[Potions: Ecstasy, Energy Replenishment, Blood Tonic, Hair Conditioner, Hair Growth Potion, Beauty Potion (Master Grade, includes various types of formulas)...]
[Reputation Points: 12]
This system had already awakened when Vaughn was born.
Having read the novel and watched the movie, Vaughn knew that the future living environment would become increasingly dangerous. Instead of giving up the moment he was born, he had to admit that the existence of the system gave him a lot of courage!
Vaughn glanced at his talent section on the system panel, where the words "Potion Mastery 10" appeared. Even though he had seen it many times, he still felt a sense of satisfaction, as if his obsessive-compulsive disorder had been cured.
All other talent levels are innate, except for "Potion Mastery," which is a reward from the system's awakening gift pack—a maxed-out Occlumency and a random talent that is upgraded to its maximum value!
Over the past 11 years, through gradual exploration, Vaughn has also come to understand the function of the so-called "reputation system." So far, this system has not issued any tasks, has no shop, and has no lottery.
Its core function, as the name suggests, is to calculate reputation points monthly based on Vaughn's current reputation level!
Reputation points can be used to upgrade spell levels. In the system spell section, the number in parentheses is the number of reputation points required to upgrade a spell to the next level.
The required reputation points will increase or decrease depending on the difficulty of the spell.
Of course, spells can be leveled up through practice, but this requires a lot of practice and talent.
After figuring out the system's functions, Vaughn was very glad that the random max-level talent he got from the "Newbie Gift Pack" was "Potion Mastery".
Undeniably, potions are a vast and profound field, but at the same time, the entry barrier is not high. As long as you have the raw materials, the recipe, and the cauldron, any wizard can get started. Some simple recipes don't even require the step of waving a wand.
Of all the branches of magic, none is more suitable for a little wizard like Vaughn who doesn't even have a wand.
Vaughn is a very cautious person.
He knew that his identity as a transmigrator and the existence of the system were huge secrets, and he never tried to highlight his abnormality when he was young.
It wasn't until he was 4 years old that Vaughn began to cultivate his "genius" persona, completely outperforming Ron in basic subjects such as word recognition, writing, and drawing.
Then, at the age of 7, he began to gradually bring his "genius" persona to his loyal "potions"!
Starting with the simplest potions, four years have passed. From initially being clueless and learning from Bill and Charlie to improving his own formulas, Vaughn has become a well-known pharmacist.
Even in the field of cosmetics, his published papers and improved various types of cosmetic drugs have made him almost a "beauty master" and "friend of women" in the wizarding world!
As for why I specialize in beauty...
Simply put, it's easy to gain brand recognition and achieve high sales!
