The Magical Principles of Natural Philosophy at Hogwarts

Fear Curse, a very interesting black magic.

It itself does not cause any substantial harm, and its aggressiveness may not be as good as the simplest pain curse, but it can directly affect emotions.

The day after learning the Curse of Fear, Riddle taught Erwin a corresponding black magic, the Curse of Recklessness. Contrary to the Curse of Fear, the Curse of Recklessness can make the target develop blind and stupid courage, causing it to lose

Calm, becomes extremely impulsive and irritable.

At first glance, the reckless curse does not seem to have any obvious effect, but Erwin feels that it is more valuable than the fear curse. The most important thing when a wizard is fighting is rational and calm thinking. Once you lose your rationality, you will basically be defeated.

The other party is playing with it in the palm of his hand.

Compared with other curses, it is more difficult for targets affected by the Curse of Recklessness to realize that they are affected by the curse and to use Uncurse.

The Curse of Recklessness can cover and remove the Curse of Fear. If the two are used alternately on the same target, Erwin feels that it will produce a very interesting effect.

Cursing itself is not difficult, but Erwin pursues wandless and silent casting. Only in this way can the greatest advantage of curses be that they are hidden and difficult to detect. Pointing a wand at the opponent and shouting a curse is too straightforward.

Quite a bit.

This inevitably requires a lot of practice, and he has spent most of his time in this area these days.

In fact, whether it is a fear curse or a reckless curse, it can basically interrupt the spellcasting of a panicked house elf. After all, it is difficult for such a little thing to have a firm and powerful soul. In other words, it is just to capture many

In comparison, these three curses are enough.

But Erwin and Riddle had a tacit understanding, and no one mentioned what the original purpose of this black magic teaching was.

Erwin habitually wanted to study as efficiently as possible, which in Riddle's opinion was a precursor to his gradual immersion in dark magic.

After practice, it was inevitable to have other interactions with Riddle. I have to say that the sixteen-year-old Dark Lord had a very charming personality. Erwin often had the illusion that they were already friends.

He hoped that Riddle had a similar delusion.

He gradually changed the topic to the aspect he wanted. When he pretended to be unconscious for several days and mentioned that there was a lack of private space in this school and many things could not be done, Riddle took the initiative to explain how to enter the secret room.

.

"The Room of Requirement seems to meet your requirements, but it is almost open to the public. The real secret place is underground in the castle. There is a secret place left by its builder. There are several secret passages in the castle that can be reached.

There, a long time ago only wizards with Slytherin blood could open those passages, but now, only the accurate pronunciation of snake language can open the door to the secret chamber."

"Why is this happening?" Erwin wrote down his question.

"Because I modified it."

That's right, that's why Ginny was able to enter the secret room only under the guidance of the diary. No matter how powerful Riddle was, he couldn't give Ginny the blood of Slytherin when he was just a remnant soul.

In other words, when he was sixteen, he had the idea of ​​using the Hogwarts Chamber of Secrets as a card in his hand, and the purpose of making this change was naturally so that he could no longer open the Chamber of Secrets by himself.

.

After learning about the snake syllable that opened the secret room, Erwin tried that night and entered the underground secret room again through the secret passage that Ginny had opened.

It seems like months have passed since the last time I killed a basilisk here.

It is empty here, except for the luminous stone used for lighting in the mouth of the huge snake-shaped statue, there is nothing else of value. There is no need to imagine Salazar Slytherin's own inheritance or collection, because even if this place once

There had been, and they had already been plundered by Riddle.

Erwin is interested in this place. Many of the things he does are not suitable for doing in public. If he knows how to open the secret room, he will naturally occupy the magpie's nest without any ceremony, so that he will not have to go there again in the future.

When running in the Forbidden Forest, you no longer have to open the Lemay Cabin just to do small things.

Some instruments or materials that were not very important could be taken out of Flamel's cabin and placed in the secret room. He was a little too busy to do this, so he found a free worker, which was naturally Melanie.

The vampire disguised as a girl was quite reluctant, but she couldn't resist Erwin, "You only think of me when something happens." She was quite resentful.

Erwin completely ignored her performance.

Rumors and panic are time-sensitive. The basilisk has been directly dealt with. In the absence of new attacks, students have gradually lost interest in the legend of the secret room. The boring study life makes them instinctively look for other

Interesting things, many people, such as Ron, have begun to look forward to Christmas a month in advance.

The years are quiet and peaceful, everything is as a school should be, the main task of students is to study, everything is normal as usual.

It was another Monday, when Erwin was eating breakfast quickly as usual, Hermione actually took the initiative to talk to him.

"What have you been busy with lately?"

"If you have anything to say, just tell me." Erwin was too lazy to talk nonsense.

"Um...can you give me some more lacewing solution..."

"Did you use up all of it?" Erwin was very surprised.

His attitude obviously made Hermione feel quite ashamed. Miss Nutria, who had always been proud of her own achievements, felt quite ashamed.

"It's not Hermione's fault." Harry quickly explained: "It was Ron and I who forgot the time and didn't take care of the crucible, so it burned."

It was truly a genius idea for a few full-time students to brew a complex potion like Polyjuice Potion on the toilet in the women's room.

"It's okay if I provide you with processing, but you still have to prepare the raw materials yourself." Erwin said.

Harry Ron nodded repeatedly, looking relieved.

How can these three little ones have the money and channels to buy lacewings? In the end, Snape's warehouse will suffer.

After breakfast, a sixth-grade girl helped Lockhart bring a message to Erwin, asking him to go to the Dark Arts Office.

At least in the eyes of others, their relationship is still that of professor and student.

When Erwin walked into the office with a huge portrait hanging on it, Lockhart rubbed his hands rather reservedly. This fearful look was in sharp contrast to the bright smile on his portrait.

"Several other professors have agreed that I will add safety features to the Quidditch pitch." Lockhart said dryly: "Most of them are waiting to see my joke. I did it exactly as you asked.

, you must help me."

"I said, this in itself is a reward for you, I will help you free of charge." Erwin said calmly, "When will the project be carried out specifically?"

"After this semester's Quidditch season ends."

"Then there are still nearly half a year, there is plenty of time." Erwin nodded slightly, "Since I said I would help you, I will naturally fulfill my promise, but you must pay for the materials to build the magic array."

Upon hearing this, Lockhart couldn't help but shudder.

Erwin naturally noticed what he was doing, "Are you worried that I'm blackmailing you? Do you think I would need to use such troublesome means if I wanted to get Galleons from you?"

Lockhart was relieved.

During this time, he also gathered some information from Professor McGonagall, and roughly understood that this boy seemed to be highly regarded by the principal, Professor Dumbledore. Since he had the background of the strongest wizard in Britain, he was indeed someone who could not be offended.

Lockhart suddenly had no regrets about what had happened to him.

Maybe, this is the future principal of Hogwarts, he thought.

Two days later, on Thursday afternoon, Gryffindor and Slytherin had Potions class together.

This was the most unhappy time of the week for Harry and most of the Gryffindor students. The thought of not being able to avoid Snape's disgusting face until graduation made him even more sad.

Erwin was also in the classroom because Professor McGonagall had told him in advance that this Potions class was very important and he could not miss it. As for the specific details, she did not directly explain it.

Professor Snape is undoubtedly a powerful wizard, but even the most powerful wizard seems to have blind spots in knowledge. He does not seem to know the spell to remove the grease from his hair. The Potions Professor walked quickly to the podium, raised his wand, and then the classroom

The students all fell silent knowingly. He waved his wand again, and bottles of potion floated from the basket next to the podium and flew accurately to each student's desk.

"You have five minutes to drink it."

Erwin looked at the light blue liquid in the bottle in his hand. This should be what Professor McGonagall reminded him not to miss.

"Professor, what kind of potion is this?" someone asked, it was the brave and fearless Hermione.

Snape glanced at her and miraculously did not deduct her points, but patiently replied: "The magic awakening potion is used to stimulate your blood and allow your magic to grow rapidly."

He turned around and said, "Miss Granger, you should be grateful to Hogwarts. It is impossible for Muggle-born students to come into contact with potions of this level, but thanks to our education policy, it is free for all students."

of."

The potion that can stimulate the magical talent, Erwin's eyes lit up, no wonder Hogwarts is sure to teach every student to become a qualified wizard.

He encountered difficulties when researching his own blood potion. Maybe he can learn something from this finished potion.

However, there are still some questions.

Erwin raised his hand, "Professor, did you prepare these potions?"

Snape snorted coldly, "Do you think I have a lot of free time after teaching you idiots? These potions are all purchased from professional potions masters."

"But why can't I see this kind of potion for sale in the Diagon Alley pharmacy?" Erwin did not give up asking.

Snape sneered, "Do you think something of real value needs to be put on the shelves for sale?"
