The next morning, the Daily Prophet published this news in an inconspicuous place: Ministry of Magic officials searched the Malfoy Manor yesterday and found suspected dark magic items, for which Lucius, the head of the Malfoy family, will be prosecuted.
This made Joel really happy for two days.
During the rest of the summer vacation, Joel began to try cooking. There was a small restaurant in Godric's Hollow, but the food was not delicious. It was even worse than the ones at Hogwarts, so he simply cooked it himself.
He went to London's Chinatown (Chinatown neighborhood) to buy a lot of pots, pans, pans and all kinds of condiments, and decorated the kitchen at home.
After a busy afternoon, Joel cooked three dishes and steamed a pot of rice in the rice cooker. Thanks to his lifetime experience of living independently, Joel's cooking skills were quite impressive and he tasted it for the first time in three years.
The taste of hometown dishes made Joel excitedly eat three large bowls of rice.
Every morning I sleep until I wake up naturally, go downstairs to make a simple breakfast, read the "Daily Prophet" delivered this morning while eating, go to the study room to preview textbooks and rune knowledge in the morning, and go back to the bedroom to take a nap at noon.
In the afternoon, when I was half asleep and half awake, I made a pot of tea and sat on the balcony to watch the scenery. In the evening, I went downstairs to watch the TV in the living room.
Joel wished that time would stand still and allow this leisurely life to continue. Of course, Haylis had to be there too, otherwise this house would be too empty and lacking in fireworks.
Time soon came to the first day of school, and Joel got up early to pack his luggage. Just after nine o'clock, he boarded the Knight Bus carrying a suitcase and an owl cage.
There were so many people on the bus, and many parents of students accompanied their children to King's Cross Station.
Joel saw Digory Cedric, who was also alone in the car and was one level older than him. Although Cedric was in Hufflepuff College, it might be the mutual attraction between handsome guys. Joel and
He had a pretty good relationship, but the bus was very crowded and all the seats were occupied, so the two simply stood on the bus and discussed the art of transformation.
They went from ordinary living creature transformation to Animagus transformation, to the most difficult summoning spells and disappearance spells.
At this time, the Knight Bus had arrived at King's Cross Station after a bumpy journey. The two of them jumped off the bus with their luggage and entered the waiting room.
"Professor McGonagall said that the summoning spell is more difficult than the disappearing spell," Cedric frowned, "but I can't find the trick to the disappearing spell at all. In my opinion, the summoning spell is quite simple. I can already make it out of thin air."
There’s a leather chair out.”
As a prospective fourth-year student, Cedric is already a leader in being able to practice the Summoning Spell to such an extent that he can definitely crush most students at the same level. After all, this is the content of the exam.
Joel organized the language in his mind.
"You should know that the functions of summoning spells and disappearing spells are exactly opposite. Summoning spells summon objects, while disappearing spells make objects disappear."
"This is how I understand it. The disappearing spell does not transport objects to another space for no reason. It just changes the structure of the deformed object and transforms it into the most common air in the world."
Seeing Cedric nodding in agreement, Joel continued, "The trick to using the summoning spell is to release your own magic power into the air, and use the controllability of magic power to change the substances in the air into the shape you want."
"The same principle applies to the disappearing spell." Joel clicked on the system panel and spent 100 galleons to upgrade the disappearing spell to the intermediate level. "Attach the magic power to the object, change the original material structure of the object and turn it into air."
He and Cedric successfully passed through the wall and arrived at platform 9?. There were still 15 minutes before the train started. They hurriedly boarded the special train and found a box to sit down.
Magic spells can be used here. Joel took out his wand and then a quill.
He cleared his throat, then tapped the tip of his staff on the quill, and recited the disappearing spell.
A stream of magic flowed out from the tip of the staff and covered the quill. Joel manipulated the magic to cut and break the quill bit by bit. The disappearance spell that had just broken through the primary level was not very powerful. It took nearly 10 years to break down a short quill.
For three seconds, both people present could clearly see the entire decomposition process.
The quill turned into a ball of air, and Joel could feel the magic still clinging to the ball of air.
Seeing this scene, Cedric frowned and said nothing, his face thoughtful.
"Then we can use the conversion spell to restore it." Joel waved his wand sharply, and the magic wrapped in the air was quickly squeezed. Suddenly there was a huge explosion in the air, and the magic chaos caused the conversion spell to fail.
The quill completely disappeared and turned into air, and no one could restore it.
The moment the explosion sound came, Joel's body also experienced a violent backlash. His body shook violently, and the magic power in his body continued to surge. His brain seemed to have been pricked by a needle, and his eyes turned black, and his mouth smelled like rust.
"Are you okay?" Cedric noticed something was wrong with Joel and quickly stepped forward to support him, with concern on his face.
"It doesn't matter..." Joel coughed twice when he said this, feeling that the restless magic power in his body gradually calmed down, "This conversion spell is different from usual."
"Conversion spells are usually used for object transformation and human body transformation. Conversion spells are rarely used for summoning spells - because when the magic power dissipates, the summoned items will disappear automatically, and the same is true for the disappearance spell." Cedric said, "
You're being too adventurous."
"I take it for granted." Joel ignored this problem when he used the spell. The transformation spell is used to switch the transformation form, but different transformation spells require different transformation spells. The transformation of the disappearance spell is longer than that of other types.
Transformation spells are much more complicated.
After Cedric confirmed that there was nothing serious about Joel's health, he left the compartment and went to the train conductor to buy some hot milk to warm him up.
Joel stayed in the cubicle. He caught the flash of inspiration in his mind. After the disappearance spell failed to convert, the original quill completely turned into air. What if the quill was replaced with another object?
Some kind of animal, or even a person?
The normal disappearing spell can turn the deformed object into air for a period of time. When the magic dissipates, the deformed object will return to its original appearance. Of course, you can also use the transformation spell to change it back to its original state in advance, but what if he deliberately casts the wrong transformation spell?
?
Joel thought of the quill that disappeared without a trace, and felt that he had mastered a way to kill people without leaving any trace.
It's just that the more complex the object, the more magic power is required to perform the disappearing spell. His magic power is considered top-notch, but after all, he is still underage. Like his height, the magic power in his body is still in the development stage.
In the past two years, he has only been able to experiment with other items for the time being.
Cedric came in carrying two bottles of hot milk. He unscrewed the bottle mouths and stuffed a straw into them before handing them to Joel.
He also helps to twist the bottle cap? He is such a sunny and warm man.
Joel was a little troubled. He found that he didn't have any other advantages against Cedric except that he was very handsome. At least he couldn't do the job of twisting bottle caps for male classmates.
"How do you feel now?" Cedric's thick eyebrows were also knitted together in distress, but he was more worried about Joel's body. "If you get hurt because of this, I will feel very guilty."
"What does this have to do with you?" Joel chuckled, "Obviously I was too careless."
No matter how Joel explained it, Cedric seemed unable to let it go. He didn't say a word, but just sat across from Joel and watched him drink milk. His slightly thoughtful eyes made Joel feel uneasy.
He can understand the daily life of the rotten country, but Joel doesn't want to meet men. Don't girls' soft bodies smell good?
Cedric frowned with a depressed face, and looked like a big golden retriever.
"Are you familiar with...Qiu Zhang?" Cedric glanced at the crowded corridor outside, and then asked Joel quietly.
This sentence directly shattered Joel's unrealistic bubble fantasy.
"What, you want to chase her?" Joel raised his eyebrows.
"No, I..." Cedric stammered.
The train slowly left King's Cross Station. Many students were standing in the corridor looking for empty compartments. Joel happened to see Qiu and Marietta standing outside carrying boxes.
"Qiu!" Joel opened the compartment door, "Can't find a seat?"
"That's great Joel," Qiu panted and walked in with Marietta, "There were so many people that we almost got squeezed out of the special train."
"Hello Ced." Qiu saw Cedric opposite Joel and immediately showed a gentle smile, which made Joel panic.
Cedric Jun's face turned red and he quickly helped Qiu put the luggage on the shelf.
"Where's mine?" Marietta was thin and couldn't put the big suitcase in her hand, so she had to ask for help.
Joel stood up and helped put the suitcase up. To be honest, Marietta did not leave a good impression on Joel, but after two years, he found that this girl was not so capable, and it was okay to get along with him as an ordinary classmate.
question.
"You two have known each other before?" The four of them sat down, and Joel took the lead in throwing the question to Qiu.
"Sed's father and my mother are colleagues," Qiu smiled shyly, "We met when we were young, but we don't know each other well."
Oh, I'm not familiar with it.
Joel felt that Eddie could still be saved a little more.
"Before you come in, I asked Joel to help introduce you," Cedric stared at Qiu, "I will participate in the Quidditch team selection this year, and the selection position happens to be the seeker, and I want Qiu to guide me.
Guide me."
Qiu was a little embarrassed by being stared at. She lowered her head, not looking at Cedric, and played with her fingers.
"Did you see Haylis in the carriage before?" Joel asked.
"She's sitting with Bernie," Marietta took over. "It seems like they were in the rear compartment of the car. When I got in the car, I saw them two walking in."
Joel couldn't care less about marrying his good brother Edira, so he hurriedly said goodbye, picked up his suitcase and hurried to the back of the car.
There were so many freshmen this year, and Joel felt like there were little carrot heads everywhere who were much shorter than him.
After helping a new student find his way to the bathroom, Joel finally saw Haylis.
She was much thinner than before, and the black hair on both sides of her cheeks once again hung down to cover her delicate profile. The quill in her hand turned quickly, scratching back and forth on a thick book.
Bernie beside him was reading a Quidditch magazine.
Opposite the Selwyns, Professor Lockhart was fixing his appearance in the mirror with bared teeth.
Joel took a deep breath and knocked on the cubicle door.
The three of them looked over together, and Hailis looked surprised.
"Joel, I miss you so much..." She nudged Bernie with her elbow and rushed her brother to Lockhart, so that she could hold Joel's hand.
"I wrote you a lot of letters, but why haven't I replied?" Joel asked softly.
Bernie snorted coldly, and Haylis gave him a look, "It's all Bernie's fault, and in the end I have to pay the bill..."
"I went home and told my parents about Bernie, and Bernie spread the word about my relationship. The result was," Haylis held a quill in her right hand and tapped the thick book in front of her, "
I had to start learning how to run and manage a business, Bernie was fined a year's allowance, and the family heir was deprived of it."
"My parents didn't let me contact you. Since then, I have only been to Diagon Alley once during the entire summer vacation. The rest of the time, I stayed at home studying management knowledge every day, and I almost went crazy!" Haylis said with some complaints,
Joel quickly comforted his girlfriend.
Bernie lowered his head and stared at the villain in the Quidditch magazine. He also knew that his revenge would hurt both sides, dragging his sister who had been taking care of him into the quagmire. After that impulse, he understood that he
What a childish and ridiculous approach.
"Hello, three classmates." After a while, Lockhart finally finished arranging his appearance in the mirror and quickly exuded a wave of charm to his students. "If you have any questions, you can contact me Gilderoy.
Professor Lockhart, I know everything I can tell you!"
"Whether it's spell casting issues, magic theory issues or various issues in other fields, I'm very good at it!" Lockhart assured, patting his chest, "You must have read the book I wrote.
?I can be called an expert in every field!"
Haylis was not interested in Lockhart. When he spoke just now, Hayley's brows knitted together impatiently, as if he was disturbing her study.
"Do you recognize the runes?" Joel saw that the Selwyn siblings were silent, so he answered Lockhart's words.
"Of course!" Lockhart said, patting his chest, "Rune writing is a piece of cake for me, Professor Lockhart!"
"Then take a look..." Joel took out one of the books left by his parents from the suitcase and handed it over. "I checked a lot of rune information, but I still can't decipher the code of this book.
All content."
Lockhart took the book and opened it carefully. He only glanced at it twice before retracting his previous cheerful expression, and his face was extremely solemn.
"Where did this volume come from?" Lockhart asked. The Selwyn siblings also sensed something was wrong and looked away from the book and magazine.
"My parents' legacy."
"Is there more than one volume in this volume?" Lockhart continued, "As expected, it should be a set of seven volumes."
