Hogwarts Mystery Sequence

In the nearly half a month left during the Christmas vacation, Amon did not see Harry again because he had entered a state of study and research again.

Amon considered himself to be just a magic apprentice who had just taken his first step on the path of magic, and he was completely able to accept such a life as normal.

It's just a pity that the library has to be mercilessly ransacked by someone every late at night, and the books on alchemy and magic are the main victims.

This is mainly because of the magic crystal left behind after the magic stone was extinguished - Amon is studying how to make it into an alchemical item.

Amon is certain that the "purity" of the magic stone is insufficient. Maybe it also has spiritual properties, but there are too many impurities in it, and the spirit and life are too fragile, otherwise it would not "die" so easily.

But it is precisely because of this that the magic crystal, a magical material that can be called a miracle, was born.

The reason why it is so praised is because magic crystal has the best compatibility with any magic circuit.

This similarity is not only reflected in the properties of the magic text circuits, but also in the quantity and quality of the magic text circuits.

In other words, magic crystal is not only suitable for magic circuits of any attribute, but can also carry a larger number and more powerful magic circuits.

The idea of ​​​​converting to magic science is that magic crystal can be used as a medium to cast any magic spell, and the upper limit of the magic it can withstand is extremely high, just like a wand——

As the most representative of alchemical items, the wand fully explains the essential properties of the alchemical item that allows wizards to perform magic.

The wand maker uses powerful magical substances as the core of the wand, matches it with different wand woods, and then engraves the corresponding magic circuits, and a unique wand is created.

But in fact, the wand was not like this at the beginning——

In the most barbaric and chaotic era of the magic world, there was no concept of "magic wand" at that time. Wizards would only make the most primitive use of the materials around them, using a magic material containing magic power directly as a spell-casting tool.

Later, after generations of wizards explored in the dark, the alchemical system was gradually established, and more sophisticated alchemical items, magic rituals, and wands came into being.

Even so, the original wands were all kinds of strange, including wood, metal, stone... all kinds of magical materials and forms.

Moreover, there is no wand core. It is simply engraved with some magic circuits or spells. It seems extremely crude now.

But Amon got inspiration from the development history of this wand——

The essence of alchemy is actually a magical technique that utilizes magical substances.

In his opinion, the current wand has indeed made great progress compared to the original wand in terms of effectiveness, universality and cost.

But this is to a large extent the inevitable result of the development of alchemy. It is a system that is gradually built up based on the existing magic substances in the magic world and is destined to be built.

But the magic crystal exists outside or even above this system.

It is not similar to an alloy, because before being made into a magic stone, the magic materials involved in making the magic stone are "killed" first. After "resurrection", it becomes a unique magic stone, which is a brand-new "fifth element". The crystallization of magic, mercury possessing spirit and life.

But perhaps because the spirit and life of the Philosopher's Stone were still too fragile, it was "killed" again.

And this process of being "killed" again is actually equivalent to experiencing the first step of alchemy again.

Then, as long as you find a way to "resurrect" it again, you can get a brand new alchemical item.

This new alchemical object may even have potential beyond that of the Philosopher's Stone.

This is not a fantasy, because the material used to make it is the "corpse" of the Magic Stone.

And the "second refinement" will make it even more perfect.

But, of course, this is also very difficult.

But Amon is confident that he can do it if he wants to - now he has absolute confidence in magic.

Therefore, during the rest of the holiday, Amon maintained such high interest, constantly searching for and mastering more knowledge about alchemy, magic texts and wand making——

He has decided to make the magic crystal into a special "magic wand".

After all, what alchemical item is more desirable to a wizard than a wand?

……

The end of the vacation is getting closer and closer, and Amon's learning process is going very smoothly.

Moreover, in the process, Amon also discovered an unexpected and reasonable surprise - probably because after being baptized by the magic stone again and again, his vision talent was stimulated to some potential.

The actual manifestation is that his spiritual intuition is sharper, his perception is clearer, and his understanding and reaction ability during study and research have also improved significantly.

Originally, Amon's understanding ability was terrifying. Not only did he have a photographic memory, but he was also able to understand more than half of a book after reading it once.

Now, Amon can almost completely understand a book after reading it once.

However, even if Amon has such a cheating learning speed, coupled with the cheating device of "Time Turner", compared with the vast collection of books in Hogwarts and the huge field of knowledge of alchemy, it is still beyond his capabilities. It will probably take a long time to achieve your goals through self-study.

But Amon didn't seem to care much about this, and spent the last few days of vacation in leisurely study time.

……

As the holidays come to an end, many little wizards are returning to Hogwarts.

But they did not feel depressed because the vacation was coming to an end. Instead, they gathered together in small groups and told their friends how colorful their vacation was.

All of a sudden, time seems to have returned to before the Christmas holiday.

And this kind of excitement shows no sign of dissipating even on the last day of the holiday.

Amon's two roommates were naturally included in this group of excited little wizards.

They were lying on the bed, chirping like two birds singing to each other on the same tree - they had been able to ignore the third person in the dormitory very well.

It wasn't until late at night, when sleepiness swept over them, that they fell asleep still unfinished.

And just when they were soundly asleep, Amon, who had been deliberately ignored by them, suddenly opened his eyes.

He ignored the two little wizards who were sleeping soundly and skillfully left the dormitory and came to the eighth floor of the castle.

After walking back and forth in front of the tapestry three times, he unscrewed the door that appeared out of thin air on the wall and walked in.

What caught Amon's eyes was an overcrowded room.

The clutter inside was piled up to the ceiling, and there was no room to even stand in such a big room.

Amon looked at the room in front of him, which had been visited by countless young wizards and professors and was used as a secret place to hide things. He waved his wand with a calm expression, as if to drive away dust.

Then he cast a lucky charm on himself, followed his intuition and spent some time in this "junk dump" to find what he wanted - the diadem of Ravenclaw.

Then Amon turned around and took the crown to the secret passage on the fourth floor of the castle.

The only two important things he decided to do in the second half of the semester, apart from making the magic crystal into a wand, was to solve the hidden danger of Voldemort's remnant soul.

And these two things can actually be regarded as one thing, because he has already figured out how to use the remaining value of Voldemort's remnant soul to obtain the greatest benefit——

Voldemort was a true genius. He was not only extremely talented in black magic, but also had amazing magical attainments in transfiguration, potions, and alchemy.

Therefore, if Voldemort can be made to spit out all his details, Amon believes that it will definitely help him take a big step towards his first goal.

Therefore, he specially took the crown and planned to use this Horcrux to do something.

……

Amon went all the way to the room at the end and found that it was empty and the Mirror of Erised had disappeared.

He had been here once during the holidays and cast a recycling spell to prevent Voldemort's remnant body from dissipating.

At that time, the Mirror of Erised was still placed in the center of the room, but Amon still remained "hidden" and did not appear.

Because he was not sure whether Dumbledore had developed some strange way to use the magic mirror and put it here for "fishing".

Amon glanced casually around the room and then looked away, not interested in the whereabouts of the Mirror of Erised.

He sensed the hidden realm in the room, then waved his wand and uttered a spell, causing the realm that originally only covered Voldemort's remnants to spread and wrap him in the "hidden" state.

In the field, Voldemort, who was under the circulation spell, turned a blind eye to Amon who appeared out of thin air, and still "stubbornly" repeated the process of floating out of the residue and back to the residue over and over again.

Amon spread his left palm flat, half-raising Ravenclaw's crown, pointed the wand in his right hand at the crown, and recited a spell:

"Loopholes!"

The remnant soul of Voldemort seemed to be blurred under the circulation curse, but the crown in Amon's hand seemed to have "life" and "alive" all of a sudden.

This exploits a loophole, equating "Voldemort's soul" with "Voldemort's soul in the Horcrux".

At this time, what was circulating was Voldemort's soul originally sleeping in the crown, and Voldemort's remnant soul took the place of the soul in the Horcrux and was imprisoned in the crown.

Amon then added a magic spell to the crown:

"Ouroboros! (What comes around again)"

This forced Voldemort's remnant soul to enter a cycle of waking up yet not waking up.

After doing all this, Amon's expression remained unchanged and he showed no sign of fatigue——

The Concealment Spell is similar to the Circulation Spell. The consumption of magic power depends on the object of the spell, the range, the strength of the magic power, and the strength of the resistance;

The determination of the consumption of magic power by the wrong spell is a bit unpredictable. It depends on the logical contradiction, the connection of the loopholes and the level of the loopholes involved. It has little to do with the target of the spell, unless there is a gap in personality.

However, in the magic world, the situation of personality gap almost does not exist. Only in rare cases, such as when dealing with the magic stone, you will encounter this problem.

At the beginning, Amon could only use the loopholes in the environment to steal the Sorcerer's Stone, but could not directly exploit the loophole that "the Sorcerer's Stone in Harry's pocket" equals "the Sorcerer's Stone in Harry's pocket". Otherwise, even if he was drained, He couldn't get the Philosopher's Stone either.

The Philosopher's Stone has a higher status than wizards, but among wizards, no matter how powerful they are, the level of life will not change. Even Nico Flamel, who has used the Philosopher's Stone to live for more than 600 years, is the same.

Therefore, even if the target of the wrong curse is Voldemort, it will not cause more consumption to Amon.

After Amon finished handling the crown, he looked at the pile of debris again, tapped his right eye socket with the tip of his wand, and chuckled:

"Professor Quirrell, go ahead."

Then he cast the Fire Spell without mercy:

"Fiendfyre! (Fire Fire)"

Roaring flames spurted out, instantly licking up the pile of residue and the circulating Voldemort's soul, and wanted to cover the entire area unsatisfied.

After Amon released the fierce fire, he quickly left the hidden realm. With the wave of the wand, the realm shrank smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared.

Although he is still unable to control the severe fire, he also has an ingenious way to deal with the severe fire - using the secret spell to "hide" the severe fire, which is still small. The "hidden" severe fire cannot affect the outside world and has no fuel inside. Naturally, will gradually disappear.

After dealing with Voldemort and Quirrell, Amon left the room and returned to the Room of Requirement.

In the potion making room, he put the crown on the table, and then took out the monocle from his pocket——

Since the failure of Voldemort's plan, Amon has never worn it again, but he did not destroy it immediately. He was waiting for this opportunity for it to exert its remaining heat.
