Marvel: I, Hermione, am from Hogwarts!

To be honest, her magic power is currently only at the level of an ordinary adult wizard, not as high as Old Deng estimated.

However, Apparition is an extremely special existence.

Because of the existence of the spellbook, she doesn't have to worry about accidents when Apparating, which is why she dares to do it this way. She can even recklessly perform high-risk continuous short-distance teleportation in battle.

Just like Dumbledore and Grindelwald back then.

Chapter 67 Magic Potion

However, one thing is true.

She is more than capable of teaching any student at Hogwarts, even the older ones.

……

Marvel.

"Five parts glycerin... four parts whole frog brains..."

Hermione held the small bottle and carefully dripped the raw materials into the crucible.

“Tony, you really shouldn’t have talked to a congressman like that. He may be an idiot, but don’t embarrass him in public, especially since he can…”

"Alright, alright, I understand. Are you trying to kill me? But I am Iron Man, the Iron Man suit and I are one. I will never hand over the technology to those greedy politicians..."

"But……"

The familiar sounds of arguing came from the doorway.

With a "bang," the door was pushed open.

Hermione was startled, and her hand trembled, causing her to put in an extra portion of the frog brain.

"boom!"

After the explosion, thick black smoke immediately billowed out of the crucible, accompanied by a pungent odor.

"Boiled!"

Hermione glared fiercely at the two people at the door.

"Tony Stark!!!"

She glared at Tony through gritted teeth: "Didn't anyone teach you to knock before you come in? Thanks to you, I wasted five servings of glycerin and frog brains!"

Although she can make potions with 100% success rate because of the magic book, the prerequisite is that the material placement process must be flawless.

Therefore, one should be careful when making medicine.

Tony and Pepper stood bewildered in front of the door. As soon as they entered, they saw Hermione looking furious, as if she wanted to punch someone.

"What happened? How did my lab end up like this?!"

After regaining his senses, Tony looked around and his eyes widened instantly.

His miniature reactor, suit parts, and many other high-tech devices were roughly thrown into a corner. The original 3D development table was filled with bottles and jars, a jumble of animal entrails, a pitch-black crucible, and some other things he couldn't recognize at all.

Colorful gases floated in the air, along with an indescribable smell.

Damn it, where did he get it?

Is this still his laboratory?

He only went to Washington, D.C., to attend a hearing about the military's attempt to seize the Iron Man suits, so how did the lab come back in this mess?!

"You, what did you do?"

Tony's voice trembled slightly.

"Ah, it's nothing. I was making potions and I was thinking of borrowing your lab, but since you weren't here, I just used the one I already had."

Hermione remained unfazed, poured the remaining liquid from the crucible onto the ground, and prepared to add more ingredients.

As Tony watched the smoke rising from the ground and the hissing sound of corrosion, his hand pointing at Hermione trembled slightly, and his eyes twitched wildly.

"Hermione Granger!!!" he roared furiously, "You actually..."

"What are you yelling about? Didn't you say I could use whatever I wanted in your house?"

Hermione glanced at him and continued stirring the crucible.

The purplish-black, mud-like liquid gradually took shape.

Tony was speechless.

Yes, he did say that, but no one expected that a little girl who doesn't play games or watch movies would end up cooking up this terrible mess and turning his lab, where he was developing his suit, into this state.

At this moment, he also understood that Hermione's irritable appearance was probably because she had barged in without knocking and the loud noise had startled her, causing her to make a mistake in the alchemy.

Tony was about to apologize when he suddenly realized something.

Wait a minute, isn't this my house? Why am I knocking?

"Damn wizard, prepare to die!"

Tony, who was about to put on his battle suit and fight Hermione for three hundred rounds, suddenly stopped, looked at the bottles and jars in front of him, and showed an interested expression.

"Wait, you just said... a potion?"

Hermione nodded, picked up a small glass bottle, and tossed it to Tony.

"For example, this is called Felix Felicis. Drinking it can enhance your luck to some extent."

He then picked up another bottle.

"This is a living hell potion. After drinking it, you'll be guaranteed to sleep for three days straight."

"This is a mandrake resurrection potion that can remove petrification..."

Looking at the colorful bottles and jars in front of him, Tony's eyes showed suspicion.

"These things really work, but won't they poison people if they drink them?"

Hermione was a little annoyed: "Are you questioning my potion-making skills!"

Tony shook his head: "Look at what your ingredients are: chrysanthemums, caterpillars, leeches. They have absolutely nothing to do with medical principles. How could they possibly have the effects you're talking about?"

Hermione gave him a disdainful look.

"Muggles are just Muggles; they can't possibly understand the wonder of magic."

"You little brat..." Tony, already exasperated by the scorn he received once again, muttered under his breath, "I'll break your bullshit magic sooner or later..."

Just as Tony was about to pull Pepper away, he suddenly remembered something, leaned close to Hermione, and whispered:

"Do you have... um... any kind of medicine that can make your body healthy..."

Hermione looked up abruptly, her eyes widening in surprise, her gaze shifting back and forth between Tony and Pepper.

Then came a gasp:

"You've lost your erectile function?!"

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Tony nearly choked on his own saliva. Seeing Hermione's pitying look, he was so angry he nearly died on the spot.

"Me? I'm Tony Stark, how could I not be? What nonsense are you spouting!"

Pepper, standing nearby, also blushed deeply.

"Hmph, let's go!"

Not wanting to talk to Hermione anymore, Tony pulled Pepper away, saying as they walked:

"I'll open a bottle of champagne later. Your birthday is in a few days, and I have a surprise for you."

Pepper's eyes lit up with joy as she asked, "What is it?"

"You'll find out soon enough, it'll be a surprise."

Tony winked at her.

Seeing Tony's mysterious demeanor, Hermione suddenly said, "He wants you to be the CEO of Stark Industries."

Pepper: "!!!"

Tony: "???"

Tony paused for a second, then, seeing Hermione's barely suppressed smile, he finally realized what was happening and snapped, "You...you must have done this on purpose!"

He had been preparing this surprise for several days, waiting for the right atmosphere to be alone with Pepper to reveal it.

I never expected Hermione to just blurt it out like that.

Before Tony could say anything more, Pepper covered her mouth, looking incredulous.

"Tony, you..."

Tony nodded helplessly.

“Wait, Pepper, speaking of which, I just remembered.” Hermione pulled a necklace from her pocket. “This is for your birthday.”

Pepper took the necklace that floated over automatically.

The necklace ended with a small metal ball. It wasn't exactly ugly, but it wasn't particularly attractive either. Compared to high-end jewelry, it even looked a bit tacky. However, Pepper only glanced at it before taking off her original necklace and putting it on.
