Hogwarts: From Squibs to Greatness

Chapter 43 New Magic and Nick Flamel
Seeing that the corpse slowly dragged into the shadow by the black wolf completely disappeared, John left this deserted alley.

The magic that just summoned the black wolf was one of the three new magics he invented during this time.

These three new spells and spells are Fireball Curse "Fireball Rolling"; Lightning Curse "Thunderbolt Lightning"; Shadow Wolf Curse "Shadow Wolf Seeking Blood"

The fireball spell "Fireball Rolling", after release, ten groups of fireballs the size of a millstone will attack the target in turn, and this spell can also be combined with other fire spells, such as Dragon Flame, Fiendfire or Gublaissian fire.

The lightning spell "Thunderbolt Lightning" will summon a thunderbolt from the top of the target's head to attack him after it is released. This magic is most powerful when released in an open place.

The previous two spells are magic created by John through the material of magical animals, using the sympathy between the material and the corresponding magical animals, and based on the knowledge of the main world. Among them, the Fireball Curse uses the material of the Chinese Fireball Dragon, and the Lightning Curse is Thunder. Bird footage.

As for the Shadow Wolf Curse "Shadow Wolf Seeking Blood", this is John referring to the shadow magic in Hal's world, plus the Magoda cat, which is a magical animal material that will copy and split when attacked, and combine them to create. out of magic.

After releasing it, summon the shadow pool at the feet, and you can summon up to ten shadow wolves from it at one time. When the summoned shadow wolf is attacked, whether it is the enemy or the summoner, the shadow wolf will be attacked. Splitting and duplicating gave birth to another shadow wolf.

However, it should be noted that only shadow wolves that are actively summoned have the ability to split and replicate, shadow wolves born after duplication do not have this ability, and a shadow wolf can only split five times at most.

But this is enough, if used properly, a pack of fifty shadow wolves can be released to attack the enemy at a time.

Moreover, the shadow wolf summoned by this spell also possesses certain physical attributes, which can be used to resist the attack of the Killing Curse, which was also one of his ideas for creating this spell.

As for the shadow wolf dragging the corpse into the shadow pool just now, that is a derivative usage of this magic. Anything that is not a living thing swallowed by the shadow pool can be transferred to any place within a radius of 500 meters through the shadow wolf.

Of course, to do this, you must ensure that the caster has sufficient magic power. For example, transferring the corpse that was just swallowed by the Shadow Pool to the sewer in Diagon Alley consumes one tick of John's magic power.

Unleashing the Vanishing Charm on the remaining blood on the ground to erase it, John slowly left this deserted alley.

After buying the required magical animal materials at the Magic Zoo, filling out the delivery form and letting the store deliver it to the villa where he lived, John returned home using Floo powder.

The holidays passed, during which time John hadn't been out since that trip to Diagon Alley, concentrating on studying alchemy and new magic.

According to the arrangement of John's plan, Tom handles matters related to the alchemy workshop strictly and seriously.

Soon it was the start of the school day, and John followed Tom back to the dormitory just like when he came back.

With the arrival of the new semester, the little wizards returned to campus with the joy of the holiday.

What surprised everyone was that the professors seemed to have changed a lot since they came back.

At the banquet in the opening hall, Professor Dumbledore would lift up his clothes to show off his alchemy knee pads to the surrounding professors. According to Principal Dumbledore himself, these knee pads can generate heat by themselves, which made him feel warm all over.

Professor McGonagall has an extra hairpin on his head, engraved with a tabby cat, with precious opals forming its emerald green eyes.

And what surprised the little wizard was that the tabby cat on it seemed to be alive. More than once during the class, the little wizards saw the tabby cat moving.

Professor Flitwick's class has an extra movable alchemy elevator. During class, the professor will praise this elaborate gift.

Then he stood on it with a smile, pressed the switch in his hand, rose to a position higher than all the little wizards, and began to lecture condescendingly.

Professor Sprout cheerfully introduced the metal fertilizer pot with legs that was bouncing around in the corner, trying to compost.

The same was true for Hagrid, his messy hair had been taken care of, and he didn't have that strange smell anymore.

The reason is that he received the alchemy props that can release the cleansing spell by chanting the spell. After all, Hagrid's wand has been destroyed on the bright side, so Hagrid wouldn't use the little pink umbrella if he couldn't use it, so this He was very satisfied with the alchemy props.

At the same time, a brand new talisman appeared on Hagrid's neck. The previous trial work was taken back by John and upgraded.

Now this can store magic power in advance, so that there is no need to absorb magic power on the spot when encountering danger, and John will respond after being triggered. This is also to thank Hagrid for the unicorn horn again.

What surprised everyone even more was that they rarely heard Snape's nasty taunt in Potions class.

It was even rumored in Gryffindor that someone secretly saw Professor Snape sitting quietly in his seat after class, looking at the photo frame he took out of the drawer with a slight smile.

And these things all point to the same person, that is the red dragon that nests in Hufflepuff-John Williams.

And some people began to speculate whether John was really the legendary red dragon Wales, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why the other party was so powerful.

John didn't care about the rumors about himself at all, but he was curious about who was the first to say the rumors about Snape from Gryffindor.

Regarding the rumor, John was extremely suspicious that Harry said it first and was spread by Ron, because Harry's "The Magical Quidditch" was still confiscated by Snape for reasons.

For Harry, who now has an invisibility cloak, it is difficult for John to find a reason why the other party will not use it to steal the book.

Inside the library.

John was carefully studying "Detailed Explanation of the Construction of Alchemy Factory". Opposite him, Hermione's face was a little ugly, and beside her, Harry and Ron were anxiously flipping through the books in their hands.

The pair completely forgot about the search for Nick Flamel during the Christmas break.

For this, Hermione scolded them for a long time, and finally came to the library, a place where loud talking was forbidden, and she stopped the long scolding.

Apart from the reason for having fun, on Christmas Day, Harry seemed to follow his destiny. That night, he wore an invisibility cloak and went to the campus at night. In the end, he found Eris as planned. The magic mirror saw his parents.

The child who lacked love was soon immersed in the illusion created by the mirror and couldn't extricate himself. In the end, Dumbledore appeared to enlighten Harry, and took the Mirror of Erised from that room as he remembered.

After Hermione found out, she felt very complicated about Harry's behavior. On the one hand, she was worried that Harry got out of bed for three consecutive nights and wandered around the school; No one figured it out and was deeply disappointed.

But this is not all a bad thing. After being persuaded by Dumbledore to go back and stop going to the Mirror of Erised, he seemed to be stimulated.

So Harry started having nightmares for the rest of the Christmas break, dreaming over and over of Mom and Dad disappearing in a sudden flash of green light, accompanied by a loud voice giggling.

This made him gradually no longer be addicted to the feeling brought by the magic mirror, and regained his focus on Nicole Flamel.

So in order to make up for the loss of the vacation, during this period they resumed the practice of using the recess time to browse books to find Nick Flamel.

But alas, Harry had less time than either of them, as Quidditch practice began again.

Although Harry was still convinced he had seen the name somewhere, they had all but given up hope of finding Flamel in the library.

"I guarantee I've seen this name before, but I can't remember it." Harry said with some annoyance

Hermione and Ron are used to Harry saying the same words every time, but they didn't expect John to speak suddenly this time
"Actually, you're right, Harry, you did see Nick Flamel's name." John raised his head and looked at them. "Do you remember the chocolate frog you bought when you entered school? The answer is in there."

Hearing John's words, Harry did remember, so he couldn't help gasping, staring at John with wide eyes, then turned to look at Ron and Hermione, who were also wide-eyed.

"I remember that was the first chocolate picture I got, it was Dumbledore's picture, and Nicole Flamel's name did seem to be mentioned on it." Harry muttered to himself.

He really didn't expect the answer to be so close to him, because this precious picture was preciously placed on the bedside shelf by Harry, and he could see it every morning.

"So you actually knew who the other party was from the very beginning, right?"

Miss Beaver blushed because of anger, and because of this, her voice couldn't help but get louder, attracting Mrs. Pince's attention.

Hermione, who found something wrong, took a few deep breaths, and asked again in a low voice: "Did you already know about Nicole Flamel!"

"Yes." John said bluntly, with no expression on his face.

The magnanimous appearance caught San Xiaozhi by surprise.

Harry asked puzzledly, "Then why didn't you tell us directly?"

John looked at the puzzled Harry and said, "Actually, Harry, if you remember what I said, I have already told you the answer almost clearly."

Hearing John's words, Harry scratched his head in embarrassment. He only vaguely remembered that John seemed to have said that the other party might be familiar with Dumbledore.

And as long as they followed this clue to investigate, they could easily find information about Nick Flamel.

It's just that Harry was eager to find the answer at the time, and when he heard that John didn't know, he put other words behind him, so he ignored this precious hint.

Seeing Harry's reaction, why didn't Hermione and Ron understand?
But Ron still wanted to struggle, and muttered, "You can actually tell us the answer directly, instead of going around like this."

Hearing this, John's expression became serious, which made Ron think that he had said something wrong, and lowered his head a little guilty.

John said earnestly: "Ron, getting something for nothing is never a good thing. Telling you the answer directly may make you happy, but you will soon forget it."

"Only the results obtained through hard work will make you remember your whole life, and this is also an exercise. Haven't you noticed that you have made a lot of progress in this process?"

When Harry and the others heard John's words, they blushed and lowered their heads. Indeed, as John said, they had made great progress compared to before. Even Ron, who was tired from studying, earned Gryffindor very.

They were instantly ashamed of the complaint that had arisen in their hearts against John.

Hermione blushed and said apologetically, "I shouldn't have said that, sorry John."

"It's okay." John waved his hand indifferently.

Actually according to John's plan, as Harry asked him in the first place.

He actually reminded Harry secretly many times, but John overestimated Harry's reflexes, and the other party didn't see what John hinted at.

No way, John chose to speak out the answer directly

Harry opened his mouth as he watched John look down at his book again.

He really wanted to tell John about his speculation about Snape, but he hesitated for a long time and still didn't tell John.
