Hogwarts: My name is the Unforgivable Curse

Chapter 172 Belby’s Research Notes

"The Defense Against the Dark Arts class is the day after tomorrow. It looks like it will be a while before we can observe Lupin's werewolf curse..."

After saying goodbye to Hagrid, Avada was curious about what kind of outstanding teaching ability Damocles Belby had, while thinking about a lot of things to do next——

"Speaking of Damocles Belby... Why don't you go to the library first and look up the information about Wolfsbane potion? Even if you can't get the complete formula directly, you can read the relevant papers first and understand the principles. This will help you in the future. Unpacking the werewolf curse will definitely help too.”

"But then again, as an expert on werewolves, why would he be interested in a basilisk farm? There are so many people interested in that project recently..."

After returning to the auditorium for dinner, Avada went straight to the library to search for literature on Wolfsbane Potion - today was the first day of school, and most professors did not assign homework, and most of the students did not. I'm not in the mood to study hard yet, so there are very few people in the library today, most of them are fifth grade students who are struggling.

"Speaking of which, when I enter fifth grade next year, will I have to face the Triwizard Tournament? It's really miserable..."

Although it is not a big problem for him to master the knowledge of fifth grade, or even get O's in all the subjects he studied in the OLS exam, the workload of fifth grade is too much, even if he has mastered multitasking. They are all a little bit overwhelmed - I hope there will be policies such as "those with perfect scores on the exam will be exempted from homework".

"The potion area, uh, should it be in the curse removal category? It can't be in the forbidden book area..."

After wandering among the bookshelves for five or six minutes, Avada finally found the literature on Wolfsbane potion written by Damocles Belby.

"Hey, in addition to the manuscript and thesis, he also directly attached the complete formula? It seems that he has no intention of using this potion to make profits..."

He couldn't help but admire the potion master he had never met before, and then he lowered his head and concentrated on reading the notes left by Damocles Belby:

【Foreword】

[For a long time, the werewolf problem has been a stubborn disease that cannot be cured in magical society. Werewolves are ostracized by society because of their own dangers, and many individuals among werewolves will gradually develop anti-social tendencies due to being ostracized by society and have an unbalanced mentality, and engage in various harmful behaviors, thereby aggravating society's prejudice against werewolves. ——This itself is an unsolvable problem. 】

[The unsolvable root of this problem is that the werewolf curse cannot be cured. This also makes it almost impossible to reduce the number of werewolves through methods other than death, and the act of killing just because of the identity of a werewolf is undoubtedly extreme and evil. Although the number of werewolves is currently small and most are far away from society, I believe that with the development of magical society, the number of werewolves will continue to increase, and sooner or later it will reach a scale that cannot be ignored...]

[And when I heard about the heinous evil deeds of a werewolf named Fenrir Greyback, I was completely determined to study the solution to the werewolf curse...]

"Greyback."

Avada narrowed his eyes - of course he would not forget this name.

[Due to my personal professional abilities, I prefer to use potions to treat the werewolf curse. After two years of in-depth research, I finally obtained preliminary results - this result is still very imperfect compared to the current situation. It cannot cure the werewolf curse, and the cost and production difficulty are also difficult to control. But I think its ability to suppress rage can at least help the current situation, so I decided to disclose this result in advance...]

"amazing."

Avada couldn't help but admire in her heart - what does "in-depth" research on werewolves mean?

Others cannot directly see the magic structure like you can - if you want to obtain enough data on werewolves, it means spending time with werewolves almost all the time, collecting samples, observing behaviors, asking about feelings, and even Only by getting close to the most dangerous werewolf after its transformation can you get enough materials for research!

In other words, for his ideal of curing werewolves, Damocles Belby stayed at the risk of being assimilated or even killed by werewolves for more than two years - this not only required strong strength and rich experience, but also required Tenacious, perseverance that never gives up.

He deserves everyone's admiration.

What followed was a large sheet of dense theories and symbolic formulas, which Avada struggled to read - the knowledge involved was a bit advanced for him, and there was no physical object for him to use his magic senses for practical reference.

"Okay, I can only barely understand it. And at my current level, if I want to make it independently, it's basically impossible to guarantee the quality..."

Avada sighed and shook his head: "And it is true as he said, in addition to the scarce and expensive raw materials, the difficulty of preparation is also too high. No wonder such a significant potion as Wolfsbane Potion has not been promoted..."

After sighing for a while, he continued to read Belby's notes.

[Through these two years of research, I have a general idea of ​​the next research direction - the knowledge and technology required to completely overcome the werewolf curse problem may cover countless branches of disciplines, including countless knowledge , maybe some of them are quite unpopular, which means that it will far exceed the total amount of knowledge that an individual can master. It requires many people from different disciplines and masters of different knowledge to work together to face it together...]

[This is an unprecedented challenge in the magical society - most of the results achieved by our wizards at present basically come from a single field, or are only superficially involved in multiple fields, coupled with the long lifespan and long life of wizards A quick mind makes the amount of knowledge that an individual can master become quite large. As a result, the research on magic has not yet seen elites from multiple fields work together to overcome a certain problem - perhaps, the werewolf problem will be the beginning and will also promote the development of magic. The study of magic has entered a new field...]

[To this end, I will make all my research notes on Wolfsbane Potion public, hoping to inspire some geniuses. And I personally went back to continue exploring, researching better solutions, and also looking for like-minded people...]

"……I see."

Avada nodded: "This is probably one of the reasons why he participated in basilisk research. He wanted to meet experts in more fields to cooperate with him..."

"But according to what he said, it turns out that the forefront of magic research has not even formed interdisciplinary cooperation? But it's right to think about it - Dumbledore alone is a master in many fields? Charms, transfiguration, Alchemy, potions, black magic... With the help of magic potions such as longevity and intelligence enhancers, the probability of a single wizard becoming an all-rounder is much greater than that of a Muggle scientist, so the threshold for interdisciplinary cooperation is naturally higher... …”

"If I want to develop a universal method to cure the werewolf curse, there is not much I can do now. I probably only need to observe Lupine's vitality and determine a general direction to cure the werewolf curse. The rest can only rely on The accumulation of knowledge, as Belby said... huh?"

While he was thinking about it, Avada was suddenly startled - he felt that the position of Peter Pettigrew in his mind suddenly began to move at an unprecedented speed...
