307 automatic, father and son, plan (7k2)

307 automatic, father and son, plan (7k2)

The consequence of the unscrupulous use of wandless magic is that no one wants to have a snowball fight with Karan anymore. This scene was not noticed by anyone else. At most, the students passing by thought that someone just threw the snowman out, which is why it caused such a big disaster. Momentum.

The weather was very cold, and not many people were willing to leave the castle, so most of the remaining time was spent in the potion preparation room.In the past few days, they had often come to this secret base, and they had forgotten about Mr. Newt's suitcase and Professor Lill, and tried their best to think of a plan for Snape to get rid of the bully.

This is not an easy thing. Snape is the only Slytherin among the few people. No one is a student in the same house as him, which means that no one can do it in time every moment. Help him.

"It's a pity that Kinch is just a toad." Steve said frustratedly: "It would be great if you could switch to other pets. For example, civet cats, they usually look very similar to cats, so they might be able to fool them. "

Apart from Callan, who was forced to stay out of the matter (to avoid making too much noise, and a lot of college points would be deducted if the professor found out), Steve was the least helpful person, and Wolf could not possibly be there. Appearing in the castle, the black lake was frozen into ice. No student would be stupid enough to go to the black lake in such cold weather, so the giant squid naturally couldn't help.

"Kinch is fine." Snape comforted the agitated toad and said, "He helped us a lot when testing the potion."

Jin Qi's agitated body gradually calmed down and returned to his idle state.

Compared to Steve, Guspard's proposal was much more attractive.

"Do you know a wand that can cast spells automatically?" he asked calmly.

But after hearing these words, the expressions on the faces of several people present became strange.

"I know the idea, but I've never seen the finished product." Lily said tactfully.

Steve, who has lived in the magical world since childhood, obviously knows more.

"That's a joke in the wizarding world!" He stared at Guspard suspiciously: "You must have taken this joke as a target, right? If so, you should tell me earlier so that I can leave you as soon as possible. The magic tent should be far away to avoid being hit by random spells."

The self-charging wand is indeed a joke. Although some wizards have thought about inventing such a wand, no one has actually succeeded in so many centuries. Instead, it has sent a large number of dreamers and inventors away After entering St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Maladies, there was a time when such unrealistic fantasies were explicitly discouraged - just like fool wizards were forbidden from trying to figure out the formula for Floo powder.

"I know this is impossible, and of course I won't waste time on such stupid things." Gaspard said still calmly: "But what if our goal is not the magic wand? Let's lower the difficulty - have you ever thought about it? What?"

Steve blinked, and he suddenly said: "You mean food magic? Using magic to automatically make delicious food? My aunt is very good at this kind of magic, and Greta's parents, they came to my house as guests. Then a delicious dinner was prepared—even more delicious than the school banquet!"

"Is it really that delicious?" Lily asked curiously. Although she knew Greta, she was not familiar with it.

After receiving Steve's affirmative answer, Lily's curiosity deepened.

Seeing that the topic was about to go further and further away, Gaspard interrupted at the right time: "Yes, it's food magic, and there's more to it than that. The tableware in my house never needs to be cleaned by anyone. They will fly to the bowl of their own initiative." Inside, cleanse yourself.”

When she heard this, Lily was extremely envious: "It's a pity that I have traces on my body, so I can only use magic freely at home after I become an adult."

After looking back and forth for a few times, Lily suddenly realized that she seemed to be the only one who needed to abide by this rule. The other four people all lived in the magical world, and some wizards could help them cover.

"It's not fair." She muttered dissatisfiedly, "It's so unfair."

The sudden complaint made Gasper look at her a few more times, but future inventors would not care about such trivial matters, so he continued calmly: "I have observed your operations when preparing potions, maybe We can try to make those steps simpler, such as a crucible that can automatically stir the potion, or a silver knife that can cut the ingredients yourself——"

Before he could finish speaking, two fiery gazes immediately fell on him.

"Is it really possible?" Lily asked in surprise. She has always been the one responsible for stirring the potion. Although this step is relatively not that difficult, it requires keeping an eye on the crucible at all times. It can be regarded as one of the steps when preparing the potion. Extremely cumbersome steps.

Another person who was pleasantly surprised was Snape, who also realized how much trouble this would save them.And although he loves dark magic, potions has always been his second favorite branch of magic. Although in Karan's eyes he is reluctant to admit that it is magic because he does not need to use a wand, Snape still loves magic. Pharmacy.

Callan became a little confused - he knew that the future Guspard was famous for inventing the automatic stirring crucible, but he did not expect that the encounter with Lily and Snape would become his attempt to invent the automatic stirring crucible. reason.

But in the next second, Karan realized that he had thought wrong. The reason why Gaspard really thought about the automatic stirring crucible was actually himself - because he had already set his sights on himself.

"Wandless magic, we have all seen the power of Karan's wandless magic. There is no need to use a wand." He said with rare gritted teeth, and the faces of several others also looked indignant.

This is so unfair!

Although the modified magic thread allows them to pinch snowballs faster, it only creates more bullets for Karan out of thin air!

Who would have thought that he could throw the snowballs he threw back in the opposite direction? !

Karan didn't defend himself, just smiled indifferently.

After a while, Gaspard continued to say calmly: "This gave me some ideas. Although we don't have the magic talent of Karan, we can make up for it in other ways - and we also No need to use a wand."

"Just like the automatic stirring cauldron and silver knife I just mentioned, you may also be able to use alchemy to make witch robes that can resist evil spells for a long time, or shoes that can cast levitating spells and moving spells, and there are many, many more. This can make Snape a lot stronger, and at least make it impossible for him to do simple pranks."

Gaspard's idea was a bit surprising, but everyone showed great interest. Lily asked if she could make a batch of self-cleaning tableware so that she wouldn't have to use a wand at home.Snape asked if he could make a dummy - one that could automatically collect bills and guide customers in the shop, so that Mrs. Prince could be more relaxed.Steve even put forward a lot of suggestions, including tools to automatically collect materials with magical abilities from magical animals, as well as alchemy items that can be automatically fed. His basement is not small, and these daily tasks will always be done. It takes a lot of time.

Just when Karan was about to go over and ask about the transfiguration, Gaspard said with a cold face: "Okay, of course it's okay - if you have the patience to wait for more than ten years, I believe that Si Nep will surely graduate safely from Slytherin House with a reputation as a traitor."

The conclusion is simple. They all take alchemy too lightly. This is not something that can be done by just casting a few magic spells - because usually the magic power will dissipate and the magic items will be transformed back into their original state within a short time. Ordinary items.

And any invention will take a lot of time. At most, Gaspard only has a helper like Karan, and Karan's only role is just a ruthless tool for learning spells and casting spells - see Just look at the magic thread and wind chime powder. Gaspard could only make these two things in total.

"Don't you still have those luminous glasses of yours?" Steve added weakly: "Isn't that an invention?"

Gespard glanced at him, and Steve suddenly didn't dare to interrupt.

Because the glasses have begun to glow, and the light always seems to have some malicious meaning.

No one has all the inventor's time at his disposal!nobody!

There are no magical animals that can help, and the research of alchemical items will take an unknown amount of time. Callan, a big killer, cannot be used at will. Besides, he cannot stay with Snape 24 hours a day. After all, he was not from Slytherin House.

Finally, things took a turn for the worse, and the topic returned to potions.

"This is the most effective method in the short term." Lily said helplessly: "But we must be careful when choosing the formula. We cannot let others know that we made it, and we cannot use powerful potions like Living Hell Decoction—— This is too dangerous!"

Lily originally didn't like doing bad things secretly like this. She thought it was no different from James' group of trouble-provoking guys.

But this time is different.

The people who took the initiative to provoke were not themselves, but those in Slytherin. Lily could not let them bully her friends, no matter who they were!

And with her involvement, things won't develop to an irreversible point - for example, she has already planned to choose a formula that is just equivalent to a simple curse, so as not to really cause any big trouble.

"That's it!"

Lily said finally, looking very energetic.

Steve asked Karan in a low voice: "Why does she look so happy?"

Karan also whispered back: "What else could it be because of? She is a Gryffindor, and bravery and adventure are hidden in their bones."

"What are you whispering about?" Lily looked over suspiciously.

The two of them shook their heads quickly, indicating that they would listen to Lily in everything.

Despite this, neither of them could help. Gaspard got into the magic tent after handing Karan a list of magic spells, while Lily and Snape were selecting the magic potion formula.

"How about the boil potion?" Lily asked, "We learned the recipe for this potion in first grade."

Snape didn't hesitate for long before nodding in agreement.

He did not refuse the help of several people - he originally wanted to do so, not for any special reason, but just subconsciously wanted to refuse.

He was used to many things - but not helping others.

But Lily was even more decisive, and she didn't give Snape a chance to refuse.

She knew what Snape would become if he endured it alone - dark magic, or even hanging out with those who also liked dark magic.

This is not what she wants. She doesn't want her and her friends to not even talk to each other, or even hate each other.

She almost had this kind of relationship with Penny.

So she seemed to be in a hurry these past few days, and even Mary started to wonder why she was preparing for the exam in advance from now on.

Fortunately, it's not too late.

The only ones left to deal with were those who saw Snape as a traitor.

Karan and Steve left after staying for a while. They quietly got out of the passage behind the mirror on the fifth floor and walked in the quiet corridor.

"What are you going to do?" Steve asked with interest: "We haven't had any alone time together for a long time. Are we going to the kitchen? Or secretly going to my dad's office?"

"What are you going to the office for?" Karan asked doubtfully: "Didn't you say we can't get close to the suitcase? Lest we be discovered by the magical animals inside."

Steve mysteriously took out the invisibility cloak in his backpack and raised his eyebrows at Karan proudly: "Maybe this will be safer. And don't you also have an invisibility cloak? We can wear two at the same time. , strengthen our stealth capabilities."

"First of all, the abilities of invisibility cloaks cannot be superimposed. The method you mentioned will not work at all." Karan couldn't help laughing because of Steve's naivety: "And being invisible alone is not enough at all. There is no way. Mask the smell of both of us. This may not matter to me, but the magical animals in the suitcase will most likely know you, and they are familiar with your scent. Can you guarantee that they will not leak the secret? "

Steve obviously couldn't make this guarantee, otherwise he wouldn't have needed to think about the invisibility cloak, and he would have just barged into the office.

"Then where are you going?" Steve put away the invisibility cloak gloomily.

"Still the same." Karan said: "The library."

Steve's homework was all completed under Lily's supervision (this was a prerequisite for her to allow others to participate in the Strengthening Snape Plan. As a good student who was the first in the grade, Lily did not want this to affect their studies).

Unlike Karan, Steve didn't have much interest in the magic books in the library, and he had no intention of competing with the Book of Eternity.

The two separated on the fifth floor, and Steve planned to go to the owl loft. He had always been responsible for feeding the owls, and now there was an extravagant Wei Er.

Karan walked down the stairs, intending to borrow some werewolf-related books.

He had been doing this for a long time - after the first Defense Against the Dark Arts course, he borrowed a book "Werewolf Stories" from the library. This book recorded some more realistic werewolf experiences, but They are all told from the perspective of a wizard.

Karan is studying werewolves.

Although he has never captured a werewolf alive, Karan has not given up the idea of ​​studying werewolves.

Although he has not yet figured out the crown, Dumbledore, Ariana who may still be alive, or even the drawing of the Marauder's Map, the werewolf riot still gave him a sense of crisis.

Because in the original First Wizarding War, the werewolf force joined Voldemort's camp, but they were completely different from the natural giants and were only infected later. This allowed Karan to see an opportunity to solve the problem.

It's very simple, just don't let them hurt other people after transforming, or even don't transform at all.

It's a pity that the root problem - the full moon cannot be solved. Karan is not powerful enough to make the moon disappear, and even if he could, he would not be stupid enough to do so.

Then there are only two remaining ways to solve the problem - wolfsbane potion and the humanoid restoration spell.

There is no hope for the Wolfsbane potion for the time being, and Karan does not know the specific formula. This is a completely re-invented potion without any basis for ancient formulas.

Karan believes that there must be some wizards who have wanted to solve the werewolf problem over the centuries, but none of them have invented the wolfsbane potion, which is enough to illustrate the difficulty of the problem.

But fortunately, there is one last way - the humanoid restoration spell.

The transformation of a werewolf is somewhat similar to that of an Animagus - it is just completely uncontrollable, and will cause the transformed werewolf to lose his mind, become crazy, and select close humans as priority targets for attack.

Karan still felt like it was a bit like a blood curse - especially the blood curse orc, aka Nagini.

His level of dark magic is not that good, far behind Voldemort, and perhaps not as good as Snape in some aspects.

But he loved Charms, and Transfiguration.

And he is also trying to accept [love] and trying to change himself.

This is not only because of the experience of the secret room, but also because of Meadows' sudden transformation - after having Antioch, Meadows became extra different - which alerted Callan.

Since Mr. Anthony spared no effort to change himself at the last moment of his life, and succeeded in doing so - as evidenced by the current Anthony Courtyard and the photos sent every Christmas - then Karan does not mind letting himself change more completely. , starting from studying werewolves.

Because he loves magic, but he doesn't want to become the Meadows he once was.

I don’t want to become a lunatic who only pursues power.

Especially since he has another reminder - the elder wand, which is always with him.

Love, coupled with the magic that he already loves - transfiguration, is enough reason for Karan to study werewolves.

"Then what should I call you?"

"Just like other professors, just call me Professor Lupin - maybe this will be what others call you in the future."

"Don't be ridiculous, Dad - oh, it's Professor Lupin, you know this is impossible, after all, I am..."

Lil Lupine and Remus stood at the corner of the corridor, in front of a statue of a famous professor.

Remus lowered his head deeply, but in the end he still didn't say the word "werewolf".

"It's nothing impossible!" Professor Lear encouraged: "Principal Dumbledore is willing to allow you to come to Hogwarts to attend school. Believe me, you look no different from other children."

Remus did not raise his head because of this. He was grateful for everything Principal Dumbledore had done for him, and even more grateful that he had new friends - this was an emotion he had never experienced at home.

But on the other hand, he was deeply troubled by James and the others' behavior that violated school rules - his gratitude turned into guilt, which tormented him in his heart from time to time.

But Remus didn't tell all this to his father. He knew how much his parents paid for him, and he never complained about his decision to move frequently.

He hoped that his parents could live an easier life - at least not to cause them more trouble because of himself.

"I understand, Professor Lupin," Remus said with a forced smile.

Lear stared at his pale face, full of tangles in his heart.

Not long after, there will be the next full moon.

Lem immediately saw what Leal was thinking.

"You must not mess around!" He quickly stopped: "The Shrieking Shack is very strong. Madam Pomfrey will take me there secretly. Don't let me have another chance to bite...bite Hurt you."

After a pause, Remus said with determination: "I know it is difficult for you and mother to control me during the full moon. I have seen the damage to the house after dawn, and you can't stop me—— Don’t mess around.”

he repeated again, looking hard into Leal's eyes, hoping for a commitment.

"Okay, Remus, I promise you." Professor Leal also showed a smile, but it was not as beautiful as Remus's smile just now.

"But you must also promise me not to run around, especially outside the school!" Professor Lear said suddenly.

Remus' eyes suddenly became confused: "Why? Does this have anything to do with your coming to Hogwarts? I heard other students say that this is a cursed position, why do you have to come here? And mother, Does she also know about this?"

He rattled off a lot of questions, and Professor Lear's expression gradually became tangled, and his eyes looked hesitant.

Remus saw this and froze.

"Have you found the werewolf who bit me?" He suddenly asked in a low voice, "Who is that? What's his name?"

There was no trace of resentment on Remus's face. He even said with pity: "He must have lived a very painful life. He couldn't control himself and ended up hurting a child. If it were me, I would definitely be I can’t accept this fact.”

Professor Lear finally asked: "Don't you hate him? Don't you hate the werewolf that bit you?"

Remus shook his head: "I won't, because I know what it feels like. I am afraid every time after dawn - afraid that I almost hurt you and mother during the full moon."

"Other werewolves...probably live like this."

There was a brief silence.

Karan, who was peeking at this scene from a distance, frowned - it seemed that Professor Leal did not tell Remus all the facts, but covered everything with lies.

Professor Leal's expression was still tangled. Just when Karan thought he was about to confess, he only heard: "Not yet, we haven't found the werewolf yet, Remus."

Remus looked disappointed, but he still comforted him: "It's okay, Dad."

"I want you to promise me!" Professor Lear suddenly grabbed Remus' shoulders excitedly: "Promise that you will never sneak out of Hogwarts - this is not for any special reason, but you must never sneak out of Hogwarts. Can't be discovered by other wizards in other villages - especially during a full moon!"

"I..." Remus was stunned, unable to say anything for a moment.

"Hey! Professor Lear!" At this time, Professor Slughorn walked over with a big belly. He shouted from a distance, and then said in surprise: "Is it really you? What are you doing here? I secretly gave it to you. Do you want your son to make up classes? Don't put too much pressure on your child. Remus is an excellent student. Come on, let's go have a drink. What do you like? Firewhiskey? Or mead?"

The father and son suddenly returned to normal. They did not panic, as if they had rehearsed countless times in advance.

"Then I'll leave first." Remus hurriedly lowered his head and left.

Professor Lear looked at his back with worried eyes until he disappeared down the stairs with Professor Slughorn.

After checking around, Karan took off his invisibility cloak. He still walked towards the library. After borrowing a copy of "Werewolf Transformation Research", he opened the book on his seat, but his eyes were closed. Moving, his eyes gradually narrowed.

Professor Leal knew clearly that Fenrir Greyback was the murderer of Remus, but he did not tell Remus this fact.

This may be to prevent Remus from becoming more painful and allow him to grow up with a revenge mentality, or maybe it is just because Professor Leal feels guilty and guilty towards Remus - all of this is because It was Leal's angry words at the trial that made Greyback hate him and take revenge through his son.

But now Remus even sympathizes with the other party - because he knows how painful it is to become a werewolf.

What a kind person.

While Karan was thinking of this, he was also silently assessing the opponent's strength after turning into a werewolf.

If it were up to him to deal with it, even if he was fighting alone, it would be easy to subdue a werewolf who had not fully grown up. This did not even require him to use the elder wand.

The reason why Professor Lear couldn't control the transformed Remus must be because he didn't want to hurt him - this would make the process of subduing him twice as difficult, especially when the subdued target had completely lost his mind. Werewolf.

But Karan doesn't need to think about that, he won't show mercy.

However, he would not regard Remus as a research target.

The humanoid restoration spell involves human body transformation - even among all types of transformation, this is an extremely dangerous branch, and if you are not careful, it can cause irreparable disasters.

Karan didn't want to hope that not only did he fail to master this spell, but he turned Remus into an even more terrifying five-legged monster - the werewolf could at least change back at dawn, but the five-legged monster not only lost his mind forever, but even Will resist turning back into a wizard, and instead continue living as a monster.

Even the five-legged monster is considered good. If it turns into some other terrifying unknown monster, even Karan himself may not be able to protect himself - he will never underestimate unknown threats, because magic has this Ability - powerful, yet mysterious.

But it's not like he really doesn't have any targets to hit.

There is also a werewolf.

Right inside Professor Kettleburn's house.

And it is estimated that soon, it will be the day when they will buy the ingredients for the potion and sneak the package back through the secret passage.

Until then, Karan will visit Hogsmeade again.
