The Magical Principles of Natural Philosophy at Hogwarts

The Daily Prophet devoted a column to reporting on this incident. Arthur Weasley, director of the Office for the Prohibition of the Misuse of Muggle Articles, was fined fifty Galleons for modifying a Muggle car.

The circle of wizards is only that big, and trivial things happen every day. Erwin can imagine that the biggest headache for the editor of the "Daily Prophet" every day is how to fill up all the pages of the newspaper.

So almost all wizards in Britain know that Mr. Weasley knows how to break the law.

In this case, if this classic Anglia car is found to have used some illegal technology involving black magic, it will inevitably have a more negative impact, and it is not even just a matter of extra Galleons.

Mr. Weasley may not even be able to keep his job.

That's why their attitude is like this, they will never admit that the car in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts has anything to do with their family.

Hagrid was quite surprised by the state of the classic car. "What kind of magic did you use?" he asked Erwin.

"A simple paralysis spell." Erwin said lightly.

Hagrid believed it. If it was the iconic black magic or some other relatively loud spell, he would certainly recognize it, but the almost invisible curse was not within his cognition.

The giant's blood gave him a strong physique and amazing resistance, but it limited his talent in magic, not to mention that he had not received much formal magic education.

Erwin walked up to the Anglia classic car, "The Weasley family has sold you to me. You must understand that I am your owner now." He said to the car.

Hagrid raised his eyebrows, but did not express any opinion. He still held the lasso tightly.

In response to Erwin's words, the classic car suddenly turned on its headlights. The dazzling light forced him to cover it with his hands, and then the horn sounded twice, as if to express ridicule.

Erwin sighed and pointed his wand at it. Although he was just learning to curse, with his level of magic control, he could still make some variant operations.

For example, directly triggering a painful effect.

This usage feels a bit like a weakened version of the Cruciatus Curse.

The pain that surged up again made the soul in the classic car unbearable. It did come from a lower mammal and lacked tolerance for pain. It kept honking to express its pain with a loud sound.

Echoing in the woods.

Hagrid was a little surprised, but the car was not an animal, and he couldn't understand its feelings from its actions, so he didn't know exactly what Erwin did.

"Be obedient." Erwin said softly, "As long as you obey, there will be no problem. Do you understand?"

Under his control, the pain stopped.

"Now, open your car door."

The old car still resisted a little, but Erwin snapped his fingers, and the pain struck again.

It did so.

Erwin looked inside the car. There were some small items from the Weasley family inside. He would pack them up and return them to Percy later. The car key was still inserted in the keyhole. Erwin reached out and pulled it out.

Come down.

The Angria classic car stalled immediately. Erwin stimulated it and even triggered the painful curse again, but the classic car showed no response.

It seems that when Mr. Weasley modified the car, he still retained the key role of the car key. Without the key, the car cannot be started.

It's very reasonable. It's impossible to let the inferior soul attached to the car have too much autonomy.

He once again used the repair spell to restore the damage he had just suffered. Now it can be said that this classic car is completely under Erwin's control.

"You just said that you bought it from the Weasley family. Do your family members know that you spent the money?" Hagrid asked curiously.

"Let's put it this way, Hagrid, my family is quite wealthy, and the galleons it cost to buy this car, converted into Muggle currency, is not even as much as the price of a bottle of wine to my uncle.

"Erwin shrugged.

The gamekeeper clicked his tongue with emotion.

"But having said that, I'm afraid you won't be able to take this car out of school until you graduate." Hagrid said matter-of-factly: "You know, the secrecy law, it's very difficult for you to use this car on the Muggle side.

It will be exposed easily, and when the Ministry of Magic investigates, Hogwarts will be in trouble."

"I understand this." Erwin nodded.

The Ministry of Magic has very strict monitoring of young wizards, or to be precise, only young wizards who are born as Muggles or who live with Muggles.

However, by the end of this school year, it is impossible for Erwin's level of magic to say that even such a car cannot be hidden in regular society. By then, Professor Dumbledore will give special instructions to take it out of the school.

.

"I still have to trouble you, Hagrid." Erwin handed over the car keys, "This guy can only be left in your care."

"No problem." The gamekeeper said happily, "I raise a lot of animals, and I am responsible for maintaining the broomsticks in the broom shed. You can just leave them to me."

He didn't feel troubled at all.

"I think you can treat it as a living thing." Erwin suggested: "Let it move for two hours a day, and the rest of the time, let it turn off and lie down. If it is disobedient in any way, just directly

Notify me."

Although Erwin was curious about how this old car could make a low-level soul become attached to it, research on it was not yet high on his schedule.

The unexpected effectiveness of the Curse of Pain made Erwin more interested in black magic. The applications of black magic seemed to be much wider than he imagined.

Black cats and white cats, those who catch mice are good cats; black magic and white magic, those that can be used are good magic.

So after returning to Flamel's cabin, he opened Riddle's diary again.

"Tell me what is the solution to the curse of pain." He wrote quickly and directly.

He discovered a problem when he first used the curse of pain. Although he could even accurately control the timing and duration of the pain after successfully using the curse, he could not lift the curse.

Curse Stop is useless against curses. This universal counterspell is really low-level, and curses already involve the soul.

"Don't worry, have you fully mastered the Curse of Pain? Do you want to know how to undo it because you have used it on others?"

"If you keep talking nonsense, I will send you to Professor Dumbledore."

This was an effective threat. After half a minute, you can imagine what bad emotions Riddle felt in the diary, and then new words appeared on the parchment page.

It's the solution to the curse.

So far, Erwin is still very good at handling this guy.

After confirming that there was no problem in breaking the curse, he began to write again: "Since they both create pain, what is the difference between the painful curse and the Cruciatus Curse? Is the advanced painful curse the Cruciatus Curse?"

"This is such a naive and stupid question that only beginners would ask." Riddle sarcastically said, "The curse of pain simply creates pain, while the pain caused by the Cruciatus Curse is substantial, and the fundamental source is the soul.

of brokenness.”

"A broken soul?" Erwin couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"The Cruciatus Curse is as deadly as the Cruciatus Curse, but the process of the Cruciatus Curse is slower. The Cruciatus Curse directly destroys the soul, while the Cruciatus Curse crushes the soul bit by bit for torture.

Perfectly suited to torture.”

"The broken soul means the collapse of reason?" Erwin frowned.

"Yes, it includes the loss of thinking ability and memory. After reaching a certain level, it will cause irreversible damage."

Erwin certainly remembered that in the war more than ten years ago, many wizards on the righteous side were tortured crazy by the Cruciatus Curse, including Neville's parents.

They have been living in St. Mungo's Hospital of Magic. The high-level doctors who seem to be able to do anything except resurrection have spent more than ten years unable to improve their situation at all. Neville has been an orphan since he was a child.

No difference.

"The time for popularizing magic knowledge is over. Are you interested in learning the second curse now? If you are interested in the Unforgivable Curse, I actually don't mind teaching you, but the problem is that these three high-level black magic spells have a large number of

There are prerequisites for learning, and you must master enough black magic to meet the conditions."

The skill tree always starts at the lowest level.

But what makes Erwin more concerned is that Riddle in the diary only has memories of before he was sixteen years old. He was still a minor attending Hogwarts. He has actually mastered the Unforgivable Curse proficiently?

It's not surprising, after all, he was already able to make Horcruxes at this time.

He is worthy of being the Dark Lord of his generation, one of the top wizards. The gap between these people who stand at the top of the magic pyramid and ordinary wizards is no longer even a matter of clouds and mud.

Erwin clearly realized that if he did not have this bloodline, he would only be able to look up to existences at this level.

Having said that, it seems that Harry Potter, who is considered to be the protagonist, has been too mediocre so far, and even the education at the Hogwarts junior college level is quite difficult.

The blood of magic is originally from outside. According to the law of inheritance, if there is no new blood to supplement, it is inevitable that one generation will be inferior to the other.

"Then what are you going to teach me next?" Although he thought a lot at the moment, Erwin still wrote calmly.

"The second curse, the curse of fear, inspires fear and affects the opponent's combat effectiveness. It has a miraculous effect on idiots who are not determined. You can still use me as a target for practice."
