But one pot could yield several bottles of Potion, so the cost of one bottle was probably around three or four Galleons. (One Galleon could buy one ounce of dragon liver.)
Selling one bottle for ten Galleons shouldn't be too much, right?
Charlie held up one finger.
Seeing it, Madam Augusta tentatively asked.
"One hundred Galleons?"
Charlie was startled: "No..."
Before he could finish speaking, Madam Augusta excitedly said:
"That's a steal, Charlie."
"I'd be willing to pay even a thousand Galleons."
Charlie silently withdrew his attempt to explain.
It was certainly better to earn more.
These damned Pure-blood Family are really rich.
But what Charlie didn't know was that developing a new Potion required enormous costs.
The initial research and development expenses, as well as the material losses from failed brewing attempts, all had to be factored into the cost.
So 100 Galleons really wasn't expensive.
It was only because Charlie's formula was given by the system that 100 Galleons seemed like an insane profit.
"Your Majesty extorts and blackmails, a foolish monarch who is unscrupulous in business, tyrant points +5."
What nonsense! This is called reasonable pricing, alright!
As it was late, Charlie stayed at the Longbottoms' house.
Madam Augusta personally arranged the best guest room for him and specifically instructed the House-elf to prepare the most lavish dinner.
"Charlie, you saved our entire family."
During dinner, Madam Augusta personally served Charlie.
"From now on, you are the Lupin Family's most honored guest."
Neville's eyes were red with excitement next to him; he had never felt as relaxed as he did today.
Charlie raised his glass in response: "Madam, you're too kind. I'm also very happy to be of help."
The next morning, Charlie prepared to return to Hogwarts.
Madam Augusta decided to buy two more healing potions, just in case.
"Charlie, here's the money for two Potions."
"I will send the Potion to you by Owl once I return to school."
Charlie thought about how Storm had gotten fat at Hogwarts, and it was time for him to do more work.
Since the Easter holiday was not long, Charlie did not return to the Orphanage.
He just wrote a few letters to Grandma White, otherwise, he would be scolded next time he went back.
On the last day of the holiday, Neville excitedly found Charlie with The Daily Prophet.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione were with him.
"Charlie! Look!"
Neville's voice trembled with excitement.
"The front page headline of The Daily Prophet!"
Charlie took the newspaper, and the headline boldly read:
"Mr. and Mrs. Longbottom Fully Recovered, A New Genius Potions Master is Born!"
The article detailed the healing process of Mr. and Mrs. Longbottom and included a photo of them after they had regained consciousness.
In the photo, Frank and Alice had clear eyes and were smiling at the camera.
"Gryffindor's beard!"
Ron's eyes widened.
"Charlie, you're on the front page!"
Harry also leaned in to look: "The article says you're a rising star in the Potion world."
Hermione was even more excited.
"Charlie, do you know what this means?"
"You've broken a law of the magic world!"
"Everyone used to believe that soul damage caused by Crucio was irreversible!"
Neville's eyes were filled with tears.
"Charlie, I don't know how to thank you."
Charlie not only helped him regain confidence but also saved his parents, effectively saving his entire family.
He secretly vowed in his heart to always follow Charlie's footsteps.
Whoever was Charlie's enemy would be his enemy.
Charlie patted him on the shoulder.
"Just study hard and help me with my homework later."
Hermione immediately frowned; this was not simple, was someone trying to take her job?
As they were speaking, Harry pointed to the content in The Daily Prophet.
"Oh, right, Charlie, it says a reporter from The Daily Prophet will be coming for an exclusive interview."
