The pouch was about the same size as the previous ones, roughly palm-sized, but the fabric was more exquisite thahers.
o the pouch were many packaged herbs.
Hoare hefted the pou his hand, misjudging the weight and almost dropping it.
Feeling the substantial heft in his hand, Hoare couldn't help but smile happily.
Instead of opening the pouch first, he opehe envelope.
The letter was simple, stating that due to the explosive sales of potions, the first batch had sold out in just half a month.
This was Hoare's share of the profits from the first batch of potions and the material costs for the sed batch.
The first batch of potions was a trial sale, with a total of five thousand bottles produced. After dedug the costs of raw materials and marketing, the profit was in Gold-Galleons.
The initial version of the short-term Squib Potion had an effective period of up to a month. To save uni blood, Hoare eventually chose to dilute the potion.
Except for the uni blood, the other raw materials were quite on, so the costs weren't high.
As the developer and producer, Hoare took sixty pert of the profits.
Adding the 1000 Galleons for raw materials, the pouch tained a total of Gold-Galleons.
No wo was so heavy.
Hoare took the letter, pouch, and herbs back to his dormitory.
He sat on the floor, opehe pouch, and poured out all the s.
"k, k, k."
The sound of s p out tinued, as if the pouch was a bottomless pit.
Before long, Hoare's hand was exhausted. Though the pouch had shrunk in size, its weight remained unged.
Hoare simply cast a Levitation Charm, letting the pouch pour itself out while he studied the herbs that came with it.
About ten mier.
The pouch finally emptied the st Galleon.
A small mountain of Galleons appeared on the carpet.

"Upgrade spells, Metamorphmagus, talent level, learn Occlumency, Disillusio Charm."
During the Quidditch match, although Hoare didn't find anyone, he estimated with eighty pert certainty that it was Quirrell.
He was like an iructible cockroach, haunting persistently.
That's why Hoare asked She headmaster, for permission to access the restricted se.
After an all-nighter, Hoare finally found some clues.
Apparently, because Quirrell's deg body could no longer be sidered human, physical damage couldn't truly kill him. The effective method was exorcism.
However, the exorcism methods Hoare knew from a could hahe weakened Number 1, mainly because it was ued and caught him off guard.
But for Number 2, even if it worked, he would be prepared, making it iive.
Exorcism spells in the wizarding world require talent, usually passed down through family bloodlines.
But for Hoare, this was no problem at all; he just o upgrade his talent level.
The Metamorphmagus was because of Ollivanders.
Dumbledore, with his old ing, wasn't surprised to see through Hoare not being Henry William, but Ollivanders also saw through it, which worried Hoare.
The reason for learning Occlumency was the same; Hoare suspected Ollivanders was a natural Legilimens, able to easily sehers' thoughts and personalities, like Queenie Goldstein.
As for the Disillusio Charm, Hoare smiled slightly.
The school rules stated that no one could stay in the library after curfew, but the wise have their ways.

Hoare looked in the mirror but couldn't see any differen the upgraded Metamorphmagus, except that his body seemed to have transformed into Henry William's.
He thought for a moment, why not take a spin in front of Dumbledore to test it out?
A free detector shouldn't be wasted.
Seeing it was getting te, Hoare ged into fortable clothes and packed some food and drinks.
He po work overtime for the few days, determio find the exorcism spell before the Christmas holiday ended.
---
At night, Hoare was reading in the restricted se as usual.
The Disillusio Charm was quite effective, as Madam Pince hadn't noticed him at all.
Hoare read quickly, with his S-level Mind Pace talent, once he read a book, it was like st it in his mental library.
To find specifitent, he just o search with keywords, and all reted books would fly out, unfolding in his mind for quick reference.
Having fihis book, Hoare put it back, and then...
He touched a hot hand.
Hoare looked up to see two floating heads in the air.
Old acquaintances.
Harry Potter and his good brother Ron Weasley.
The two were also startled by the warm toud almost screamed, c their mouths to stifle the sound.
"It's me," Hoare said helplessly.
"Henry? Where are you?" Harry asked, holding up a mp with Ron, searg for Henry but not finding him.
Hoare relutly lifted the Disillusio Charm.
Harry and Ron watched as the air before them twisted, gradually revealing a person.
"What are you doing here!" Ron said indignantly. "Did you e to scare us on purpose?"
Hoare rubbed his slightly ag head. "You two are scarier, okay?" He gestured for them to look at their current posture.
Two floating heads in the air, and a hand holding a mp with no arm, just a wrist.
Harry and Ron exged gnces and ughed awkwardly.
Theook off the Invisibility Cloak c them.
Hoare curiously took it and exami closely.
Ordinary Invisibility Cloaks, like those sold in shops now, were usually woven from Demiguise hair or ordinary cloaks ented with a Disillusio Charm, expensive and single-use.
But Harry's was different; it could be used repeatedly and was hard to detect.
No wo was one of the Deathly Hallows.
If it could be replicated, even achieving just a tenth of this cloak's ability would be a fortune.
