Harry Potter: Transmigrated Detective Link

This transformation didn't stir too much emotional change in Link. He casually picked up a pocket watch and began timing.

Because this was originally the normal reaction after the fusion of chameleon lizard mucus and concentrated spider egg sack fluid. To truly determine whether the Invisibility Potion was successful still depended on whether this invisible effect could remain stable and lasting.

And Link's definition of so-called "lasting" was 30 minutes. Exceeding or falling short of this time both indicated that the stabilizer was unqualified.

Tick-tock~ Tick-tock~

The hands on the pocket watch ticked at a steady pace. As the hands gradually approached the originally set time, Link's heartbeat also slowly began to accelerate.

This experience was a bit like opening crates in CS:GO, or opening epic jars in DNF, making one's emotions involuntarily excited.

And as this emotion built up, the pocket watch finally let out a crisp sound signaling the end of the countdown, and the moment finally arrived.

"Whew!"

Link took a deep breath and looked up at the transparent box.

Then he saw that inside, the goblin that had already completely turned semi-transparent was now reappearing at high speed, restoring to its original appearance.

This little guy seemed not to have reacted yet from the intense transformation on its body, and was now touching all over itself with a shocked expression.

As for Link, his expression turned into wild joy after a brief moment of daze.

"YES!"

Link swung his fist hard. A week of hard work had not been in vain after all. But this was the only celebration he allowed himself.

After celebrating, he quickly used brain occlusion technique to forcibly suppress his joy, then turned around and picked up a quill to quickly begin writing in the notebook.

This was the most important task at hand, only by recording all experimental and clinical observations into the report could one trial be considered complete.

And after completing the record, Link again followed the original formula and continued experimenting on different goblin individuals. Only after confirming that the formula was sufficiently stable did he finally pour the last potion into his own mouth.

"Ugh!"

Link's facial expression instantly became "colorful."

The potion's taste and texture were like drinking a big cup of lemon-flavored snot. And after taking it, Link's entire skin became extremely itchy.

That feeling, don't even mention how sour and refreshing it was.

However, the potion's effect was just as excellent.

Link had just drunk it, and his body, including the clothes on him, rapidly began turning transparent, eventually making Link completely into an invisible man. Only a slight distortion of light and shadow still proved Link's existence.

Looking at his now semi-transparent body, the smile on Link's face finally bloomed uncontrollably.

This joy of success, of course, only made sense if shared with others.

And the first person Link thought of was Snape.

He carefully pushed open the door of the materials storage and walked toward Snape.

At this moment, Snape was still at the workbench selecting those raw materials. This was a very tedious job, because Snape's requirements for potion ingredients had almost reached an abnormal level. The materials sold in potion shops must all be personally selected by him again before being stored in his material library.

As for those leftover ones, which he called low-quality but were actually still decent, he would place them in the classroom for the lower-year students to use.

Watching Snape seriously selecting herbs, Link became even more cautious in his movements.

He didn't want to just run over and say plainly that he had succeeded. That was far too uncreative.

In Link's plan, he should secretly sneak up on Snape and startle him while the potion effect still lasted. That would be more interesting.

However, just as Link slowly moved behind Snape and raised his arm, a familiar cold voice suddenly rang out.

"If you dare place that dirty hand on me, I'll turn you into a badger, the kind with a snout. I swear."

Snape's words made Link's raised arm freeze in mid-air. Snape also turned around at this moment. First, he used that cold gaze to size up Link's distorted silhouette floating in the air, then blandly said, "Looks like you've succeeded."

"Yes yes! Of course I've already succeeded! That's how it was destined to be," Link said with a bit of dissatisfaction as he put down his arm. "But you're really boring. I originally wanted to surprise you."

"Potion making is a rigorous profession. Surprises are worthless to us."

"Oh, come on. The legendary Philosopher's Stone and Elixir of Life were both accidentally created by Nicolas Flamel, right? That was a massive surprise to him. Are you really saying that surprise was worthless?"

Relying on his semi-invisible state, knowing Snape couldn't see his face, Link said with clear disdain.

But upon hearing that, Snape's face still turned dark and he said angrily, "Enough. I don't want to argue this with you. Tell me, what did you use as the stabilizer?"

"It was powdered shell of the Color-Changing Giant Snail," Link spread his hands and said, "Actually, Graphorn tail could work too, but considering the cost problem after mass production, I eventually abandoned that plan."

"Hmph! At least you're not totally stupid."

Snape's tone remained cold as usual, but the slight smile at the corner of his lips already revealed his current mood.

He was actually quite satisfied with Link's performance.

After all, developing a potion independently, even with his own occasional hints, was still an extremely difficult task.

Just in terms of creativity and execution, even Snape dared not say that he had been as strong as Link at his age.

However, when Snape's eyes swept across the pile of materials on the workbench, the smile on his face suddenly froze.

A feeling called "heartache" surged up inside.

Over the past week, Link had basically wrecked his entire materials inventory. Some common ingredients were still okay, after all, Snape, as a potions master, didn't really care much about galleons.

The real issue was that some materials in the storage were rare and no longer available even with money. That was enough to make one pull out their hair.

But not far away, Link hadn't noticed Snape's change in expression. He was still excitedly muttering to himself.

"…Honestly, Professor Snape, you have no idea how hard this week has been for me. Luckily, in the end, the Invisibility Potion was still completed. But I feel like the name 'Invisibility Potion' sounds kind of awful. How about I rename it to 'Illusory Form Potion'?"
