In the month after Professor Slughorn's banquet, Professor Dumbledore had been very busy. Ryan only met the principal twice during dinner, and each time the principal left early after eating in a hurry.
However, one day when he returned to the dormitory to rest after class, he received a letter from Dumbledore. The letter told Ryan that he needed to be fully prepared recently because he had found the possible whereabouts of an object that might be Voldemort's Horcrux, etc.
He might need Ryan's help when he goes to get this.
"The principal is really cautious." Ryan muttered quietly in his heart as he watched the letter burn to ashes in front of his eyes. He could understand Dumbledore's thoughts. A person who can return to the world from the world of death will not do anything.
It will be too weak. With Dumbledore's character, he must ensure that people who may cause adverse variables cannot have a negative impact on his plan. This time, calling Ryan out and destroying the Horcrux with him does require Ryan's alchemy knowledge.
To help, on the other hand, he definitely wanted to evaluate Ryan's camp and attitude towards Voldemort.
Anyway, Ryan didn't have any plans to rule the entire magical world. He had a big head to manage just those worlds, so he wouldn't put more burden on himself. So he quickly replied with a note saying "OK".
Mr. Principal. In fact, the current situation with Dumbledore blocking the front line is what Ryan likes best. As for transforming the magical world, since he now has a long lifespan, then using two to three hundred years to subtly change the world is the best way.
The best way is not to be so impatient.
However, Ryan has not received any news from Dumbledore after replying to the principal. During this period, apart from classes, the only special thing was that he and Hermione attended two more Slughorn's small dinner parties. I have to say
Slughorn is a person who knows how to live. The food at the dinner party is very good, and it can make people relax a little in the current depressing atmosphere. According to Hermione's evaluation, "This dinner would not be without Harry."
It's so bad, but sometimes it's quite fun. I really don't know why Harry doesn't come, he is the person I know who needs to relax the most."
Ryan could only shrug. He and Hermione were just accompanying guests now. It was enough to take care of themselves and relax at the dinner party. But Harry was Slughorn's key observation target, and he had to rack his brains to avoid eating.
Slughorn's overtures were really worse than practicing Quidditch in the wind and rain.
It was not until mid-October that they were allowed to go to Hogsmeade Village for the first time this semester. Looking at the increasingly tight defense measures around the school, many people thought that they would not be allowed to go to Hogsmeade Village. Now we know
Everyone seemed happy to go anyway. In this depressing atmosphere, it was nice to be able to leave the castle and relax, even if it was only for a few hours.
On the morning of the day when he went to Hogsmeade Village, there was a strong wind outside. Ryan got up very early to pack his things because he informed Lupine two days ago to bring two werewolves over today. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hog
Moder will be able to complete their treatment at once. The recent treatment, Ryan, has gained a lot of knowledge about the rules of change from the transformation of these two werewolf forms, so he plans to increase the workload in the next time.
Challenge yourself.
Ryan spent a little more time sorting out the potions, so when he came to the dining table, he saw that the table was already full of people. When he finally found Hermione, he found that Hermione was talking to Harry.
glare.
"What happened?" Ryan asked Ron, who was watching the excitement.
"It's like this, this morning I felt a strong light while sleeping, and then a magic hooked my ankles and hung me upside down. Fortunately, there was another bright light after that, and I fell back on the bed.
!" Ron said to Ryan with a smile. He thought it was just a joke. "So you should advise Hermione, she is making a fuss."
"Are you kidding?" Hermione suddenly turned her head and stared at Ron, looking like an angry lion. "Percy told me before that the Death Eaters in the last war also liked to treat people like this the most.
Hanging in mid-air, leaving them dazed and helpless floating above. You tell me that such magic is a joke?"
"Okay, Hermione, don't get excited." Ryan pressed his hand gently on Hermione's shoulder. "Death Eaters just abuse it. You have to know that even the simplest levitation spell can hang the victim high.
Then break the spell and throw them into pieces. This magic should be a prank magic at best."
"Look, am I right?" Ron said carelessly, "Hermione, you are too sensitive sometimes."
"No, in fact, Harry, your fault is not small." Ryan looked at Harry, who had just shown a relaxed expression, "How could you rashly cast a spell on your friend that you didn't understand at all? This time it was just
Good luck, what if the half-blood prince records some kind of dangerous magic next time?"
"Isn't it?" Harry carefully glanced at the angry-looking Hermione and said, "I thought he wrote some very normal things before."
"No, no, no, you have to know that this book is a textbook for sixth and seventh grade students, and wizards who can improve on the basis of the textbook must be excellent academically." Thinking of Harry's bad temper, Ryan decided to persuade him in a different direction.
"What you say makes sense, but what does this have to do with the magic inside?" Harry asked with a suspicious look on his face.
"It is very normal for such outstanding students to choose the Advanced Defense Against the Dark Arts class. Senior students can apply to watch Dark Arts in the Forbidden Zone while studying Defense Against the Dark Arts. Just in case this Half-Blood Prince
After borrowing a certain black magic book, what should I do if I record a few black magic spells in my own textbook for the convenience of learning?"
"This" After listening to Ryan's words, Harry felt cold sweat break out on his back. He asked with a hint of luck: "Does anyone really have the habit of recording curses?"
"There are quite a few people who have this habit, at least I do." Hermione nodded and took out a small notebook from her small shoulder bag, then opened it and pointed to a few pages and said, "In order to learn dark magic.
I have recorded a lot of black magic in terms of defense. You see, these two pages are about the use and principles of the Intestinal Curse, and this half is about the techniques for using the Bone Crushing Curse."
"It's terrible." Ron swallowed and said, "What about you, Ryan?"
Ryan looked around to see if there was anyone else, and took out half of a certain book from his space bag. Harry's eyes widened when he saw the peeling gold title, because it was a "Comprehensive Encyclopedia of Common Dark Arts."
"How could you?" Before Ron could finish speaking, he saw Ryan taking out a piece of paper. On it was Professor McGonagall's permission letter to allow Ryan to hold and study this book in the school.
"You know that I have been providing alchemy products to the Order of the Phoenix. If I don't know the principles of black magic, how can I make something that can defend against them?" Ryan's answer made Harry and Ron suddenly realize. With the proof of this evidence,
, Harry promised that he would copy out all the spells in the textbook when he went back, and let Ryan and the others check them before deciding how to use them.
Although there was a difference between this promise and Hermione's imagination of Harry handing in his textbooks, she felt that it was already a great victory. On the way, Hermione smiled and said to Ryan: "You can actually convince Harry, you know
I just said it for a long time to no avail."
"It's nothing. I can only say that your tough persuasion style that you have been used to since first grade is not suitable for Harry and the others." Ryan said as he pulled up his collar. Now the outside of the castle was filled with strong wind, rain and snow. If it hadn't been for today
After agreeing to Lupin's words, Ryan would definitely choose to rest in front of the roaring fireplace in the common room.
Harry, Ron and Ginny estimated that it would be a while before they could come to Hogsmeade, because someone told Harry that while queuing out just now, Linkrivy was looking for him, so the three of them went back to the castle directly.
Hogsmeade seems much more depressed than before. Fortunately, the Bee Duke Candy Shop and the Weasley Joke Shop Hogsmeade branch on the left and right at the entrance to the village are still colorful and crowded with students.
"I'm going to treat those werewolves first. Do you want to take a walk around the town?" Ryan asked Hermione while standing at the entrance of the village.
"I'd better go with you." Hermione pulled Ryan towards the Hogsmeade branch of Weasley's Joke Shop.
