After the nighttime encounter with Professor Snape, Ian returned to the Room of Requirement, reflecting on how he had been too lax during his recent nighttime wanderings.
"When wandering at night, you must always keep an eye on the Living Map."
Ian felt he was almost caught again and faced detention, even though Filch was unlikely to catch him during night patrols, he could still accidentally run into other professors.
Neither Professor McGonagall nor the other three heads of houses would bend the rules or favor him with regards to school regulations, especially Professor Snape, who might add his own personal emotions into the mix.
"Out of all the school rules, not getting caught is the most important one."
Ian certainly didn't want his good uncle to catch him; his good uncle who would truly send him to scrub toilets, and he had had enough of being a dung-cleaner at the start of every loop.
To be honest.
In one of the loops, Ian even mobilized Dementors to do the work for him, which scared some little wizards who stayed up late until they passed out.
That loop really was a chaotic mess, resulting in Professor Snape punishing Ian even more, perhaps Professor Snape is now the professor Ian "fears" the most at Hogwarts.
Professor Snape indeed has a knack for tormenting people.
"Process these materials for me, I'm about to complete a masterpiece!" Ian paid attention to the bubbling potion, handing the substitute materials he found to the Dementor.
A trained Dementor immediately got to work diligently.
"Scritch, scritch, scritch, scritch~"
It handled the potion materials much more skillfully and professionally than many little wizards. Ian glanced at the Dementor with surprise, showing a puzzled expression.
"How did it get so much more proficient all of a sudden?" Before Ian left the Room of Requirement not long ago, this Dementor was not so adept at assisting.
He didn't expect that after just a few hours, the Dementor seemed to have attended a potion tech school, with even its synergy with him significantly improved.
"You must have been secretly working hard behind my back! Quietly gaining intelligence! Well, well, well! The future King of Dementors is definitely going to be you!" Ian once again praised the Dementor.
He was increasingly satisfied with his non-human helper that greatly improved in efficiency.

...
Then.
After laboring for most of the night.
Ian finally completed his first batch of experimental potion during the process of continuously improving his proficiency. This was undoubtedly the most difficult potion he had brewed aside from the [Infinite Firepower Potion].
Of course, if cost was no concern, it wouldn't be so complicated, but saving hundreds of Golden Galleons in half a night's time is certainly worthwhile for Ian.
Moreover, just as most people should have the right to enjoy technology, potions should focus on being people-centered. Potions with too high a cost can't be considered truly good potions.
"I need to find a test subject to try it out." Ian gently shook the potion vial, in an instant, the previously dull potion began to glow brilliantly.
The potion's color was very dazzling.
As if containing endless starlight inside, exuding a captivating and enchanting feeling. Ian saw the secret in the [Awakening] part of Teacher Morgan's Amortentia formula.
It can [Awaken] dormant or never active Magic Power within a wizard, and can help wizards whose Magic Activity was permanently damaged due to excessive casting to return to their peak.
Meanwhile.
The greatest function is to help Squibs obtain the right to use magic—many people might not know this, but Squibs actually possess Magic Power within them.
Some Squibs have Magic Power not weaker than those powerful wizards. However, compared to Magic Power of normal wizards, Squibs' Magic Power was never active from birth. Of course, there could be reasons of post-birth Magic inactivity, which is why wizards can also potentially become Squibs under certain circumstances.
The potion Ian brewed specifically solves this type of problem. It can be anticipated that if the potion is taken outside, all Squibs would absolutely go wild because of it.
"This is sure to earn me a Merlin Medal, perhaps even directly a Level 1 Merlin Medal, and my merit and wallet would both crazily inflate even while I sleep."
Ian believed this potion, like the [Infinite Firepower Potion], would cause a sensation, his courage surpasses even Snape's, why wouldn't he pursue fame and fortune?
Benefitting wizard society.
While also benefitting himself.
Surely a win-win situation.
"It's not just about Golden Galleons, but leaving a legacy, which man can refuse?"
Ian gazed at the starlight in the potion while whispering softly. He already had plans in mind; certainly, he mustn't let Snape know about this potion.
Otherwise, his good uncle would definitely prohibit him from tinkering with it like he forbade him from selling [Infinite Firepower Potion]. Naturally, Ian can also understand his good uncle's thoughts and concerns.
