#68 - Blood Potion
With that, he handed the books in his hand to Anduin. Anduin took them and flipped through them, discovering that he had never seen four of them before. Two were about dark magic, one involved potions, and one was actually a collection of runes, containing many rare rune combination formulas.
“Not bad, these four books will offset your four months of protection fees. I'll return the originals to you after I've copied them. How about it? I'm still very kind, right?” Anduin said happily.
Hearing Anduin's words, Rosier's uneasy heart was half relieved, and he quickly nodded in agreement.
“By the way, what about Travers? Hasn't he been thinking about causing me trouble recently? You know, I left him lying in the owlery for an afternoon.” Anduin put away the books and asked with a smile.
“He's wanted to cause you trouble more than once, but you're so elusive every day except for class time that he can't find you at all. Recently, he's been hanging out with prefects Wilkes and Yaxley, thinking all day about how to deal with Gryffindor.” Rosier said truthfully.
Anduin thought for a while, it seemed that he really hadn't been staying in the castle much recently. He basically ran back to the Forbidden Forest cabin after class to study magic. As for the conflict between them and Gryffindor, Anduin didn't intend to interfere. He had previously thought their fight would be a bloody mess, and even ran to remind Charles once. Later, he discovered that children were indeed children, and their fights were just like pranks, so Anduin became too lazy to participate.
“Okay, Rosier, your performance is good. If you have any trouble, you can tell me. The protection fee won't be paid in vain. I'll cover you from now on.” Anduin said.
Rosier couldn't avoid Anduin fast enough, so he wouldn't dare to take the initiative to find him. He had to respond with a few words, just wanting to get rid of this guy as soon as possible.
After the two parted, Anduin returned to the cabin and began to look through Rosier's books.
“As expected, the knowledge passed down by those long-standing families is the greatest foundation. They even have bloodline magic?” Anduin gained a lot after carefully reading them. One of the dark magic books contained a lot of knowledge about bloodline magic, and the potion book even had the recipe for the Blood Fury Potion.
The Blood Fury Potion, whose full name is 'Dragon Blood Rage Elixir,' mainly uses dragon blood as its raw material. It uses many poisonous raw materials to contaminate the dragon blood, and then boils it. It is a forbidden potion that is strictly prohibited. After taking it, it can cause a berserk-like effect, and the resistance to magic can also be greatly increased. The user's own power and control over magic will also be greatly enhanced, but the side effects are also very obvious. After the potion's effect ends, there will be obvious blood loss, and there is a certain probability of causing people to go directly crazy and lose their minds.
“No wonder Evan Rosier has this potion, but to dare to drink this kind of potion, should I say you're brave or are you out of your mind?” After reading the description of this potion, Anduin smiled mockingly.
Next, Anduin prepared to copy the magic books. It is not advisable to directly copy them with the Gemino Curse. The copied duplicates will disappear after the magic power dissipates. The proper way is to prepare a blank book or parchment, as well as ink, and use the 'Word Replication Charm' to transcribe the text, so that the books can be preserved for a long time.
After busying himself for a while, Anduin finally copied all four books with magic. The process of copying also allowed him to practice spells, which was not boring for Anduin.
Fortunately, this is not the kind of magic book that contains magic power. Most of those magic books are unique copies, and you must be familiar with curse breaking and alchemy to copy them successfully. Anduin heard that there was a book called 'The Wizard's Sonnets,' which would even curse the person who read it. People who have read this book can only speak in five-line doggerel poems for the rest of their lives.
It seems that I have to speed up my study of runes and magic characters. If I want to learn curse breaking and breaking curses, this knowledge is essential, so as not to be harmed by a cursed book one day.
With a plan in mind, Anduin began his tedious study of magic characters again, constantly using the rune plate to materialize the magic characters, learning to combine them according to the various common runes in the 'Collection of Magical Glyphs.' This method not only allowed him to more thoroughly understand the meaning and concept of various magic characters, but also gave him a deeper understanding of these spells.
When analyzing the Impediment Jinx before, Anduin felt that he had a deeper understanding of the Impediment Jinx. When casting the spell, it was easier to control and the shaping became much easier. Now Anduin has been able to condense the Impedimenta into a ball the size of a fist. Anduin calls it the Obstacle Ball, and its power is greatly increased when launched. Recently, he has also been studying whether it is possible to detonate the shaped Obstacle Ball when it is launched.
……
Two weeks later, in a Transfiguration class.
Professor McGonagall was explaining the differences and precautions between the Transformation Charm and the Transfiguration Charm.
Anduin summarized that the Transformation Charm is a complete transformation, and the Transfiguration Charm is a partial transformation, but Professor McGonagall still gave a long lecture for an hour.
“Alright, that's it for this class. Next class, you will start trying to transform a rat into a snuffbox. This requires very hard practice, and maybe this will be the question on your final exam.” Professor McGonagall finally finished her Transfiguration Charm content.
Anduin was very speechless about Professor McGonagall's behavior of revealing the question. 'Maybe,' she said, isn't that a confirmation?
Just as he was about to pack his things and return to the cabin, Professor McGonagall stopped him.
After the other students left one after another, Professor McGonagall said to Anduin, “Anduin, Headmaster Dumbledore is looking for you.”
When Anduin heard this, he guessed whether the Ministry of Magic's award had arrived, and he couldn't help but feel happy. He said with a smile, “Yes, Professor McGonagall, I'll go over right away.”
“Well, the password for the headmaster's office is 'Fizzing Whizbees.'” After Professor McGonagall finished speaking, she thought for a while and said, “Anduin, I've heard about what happened during Christmas. Your courage is amazing, but as a professor, I still have to remind you to pay attention to your own safety. In the current situation, it's not something a small wizard like you should be meddling in.”
Professor McGonagall said to Anduin with a serious face.
Anduin knew that Professor McGonagall was worried about him, so he smiled and nodded, “Don't worry, Professor, I won't put myself in danger lightly, but when danger comes to my door, calmness and decisiveness can better protect myself.”
McGonagall knew that Anduin was very rational, but as an elder, she couldn't help but want to nag the young people. Hearing Anduin's reply, she also nodded and said, “Alright, go ahead, Dumbledore is in the office now.”
