Hogwarts Mystery Sequence

Chapter 21 Summer Vacation

noon.

London King's Cross Station, platform 9?0?6.

Amon steps off the Hogwarts Express carrying his suitcase.

At this time, a slightly serious calling voice came.

Amon followed the sound and saw Old Nott and Theodore who had left the station earlier.

He walked over and said hello to the two of them.

Old Nott smiled and patted Amon on the shoulder. He had already learned from Theodore about Amon's highlight moment at the year-end summary meeting. He was very proud of it. This is his son, Nott. The future heir of the family!

"Let's go."

He led Amon and Theodore out of the station, found Bernie waiting in a corner, and asked Bernie to take them back to the manor - there was an anti-Apparition spell in the protective magic of Knott Manor, and only domestic children Elves can only enter through Apparition.

In the manor, a steaming sumptuous lunch was already prepared for the two young masters.

Since it was a family dinner, Old Nott and his son sat down and chatted about their family affairs with some ease.

It was probably Theodore talking about some interesting things this semester, and which outstanding pure-blood family he had made friends with, and Old Nott praised and encouraged him.

Then his focus turned to Amon. After all, Amon didn't come home for Christmas, and Theodore kept asking questions, so it was only now that Old Nott had the opportunity to understand Amon's life at Hogwarts.

As for Amon not being sorted into Slytherin, but going to Ravenclaw, he was surprised when he found out, but then he didn't care. Ravenclaw was not bad after all.

Amon did not hide his concern for Old Nott, and explained that he was addicted to studying and could not extricate himself, and had no social contact throughout the semester.

The two people present looked at each other in shock after hearing Amon's words, and neither of them showed any signs of surprise.

Old Nott sighed as if he had expected it. He could even guess Amon's answer after his tactful persuasion:

Amon smiled and nodded, saying that he would do it next time.

Two hours later, the family gathering moved to the living room.

Bernie brought three cups of black tea at the right time. From this moment on, the initiative of the conversation was transferred to Old Nott.

He began to take the initiative to talk about the recent political events in the wizarding world, and used this to test Amon and Theodore.

When the black tea is finished, it marks the end of this family gathering.

Overall, Old Nott was very satisfied with this short family gathering.

The father is kind and the son is filial, which is much better than other pure-blood families, especially the unnamed Malfoy family.

Therefore, Old Nott was very satisfied when he left the manor.

……

After Old Nott left, Amon came to the underground library where he had been away for a year.

He walked straight into the potion making room next to the bedroom and took out a large notebook that could be as thick as three volumes of the Encyclopedia Britannica from the suitcase he brought back.

This notebook records all the magical knowledge he compiled from Voldemort's memory.

Now, Amon's first small goal is to integrate the contents of this notebook.

This doesn't take long and can be done in about a week.

There is another small goal waiting for him after that.

As for resting during the holidays, for Amon, learning magic is the best rest.

Now the "Time Turner" has become his indispensable "friend"!

……

After a week.

Amon completed mastering the magical knowledge in the notebook as scheduled, and then gave the notebook an invisibility spell to thank it for its contribution and companionship during this period.

Then he turned and left the underground library and found Bernie.

"Bernie, take me to Diagon Alley. I'm going to Ollivander's Wand Shop to buy some things."

Bernie bowed down and replied in a sharp voice:

"Master Amon, I think I can help you if you need anything."

"No, I have something to do personally."

"Master Amon, please hold on tight to me."

……

An hour later, Bernie returned to the manor with Amon.

But at this time, Amon had an old face, silver eyes and hair - that was Ollivander's look.

"Wait for me here." With these instructions, Amon returned to the underground potion room.

He took out a pile of glass bottles and placed them on the table, then put the tip of the wand against his temple, picked out bits of silver memory threads, and stored them in the bottles.

After repeating it several times and copying and storing all the memories, he returned to the ground and went to Ollivander's Wand Shop with Bernie again...

……

After coming back again, Amon sat on the chair, playing with the wand in his hand, looking at the pile of glass bottles filled with silver translucent liquid on the table, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up.

——The memory in the bottle belongs to Ollivander.

He used the Secret Charm to sneak into Ollivander's wand shop, obtained Ollivander's hair, and then used Polyjuice Potion to transform into Ollivander's appearance. Then he used the False Charm to steal Ollivander's memories - just like that. In this way, the memory of a master staff maker was stolen!

Amon sighed inwardly at the perfect compatibility of the Secret Curse and the Wrong Curse.

This allows him to use magic to affect the outside world in a "secret" state, but the outside world cannot affect him!

But such a magical and powerful spell was born in his own hands, which made Amon feel particularly happy physically and mentally, and he also had stronger confidence in the next plan——

Obtaining Ollivander's memory is the prerequisite for him to achieve his second small goal, and it is also the last piece of the puzzle to piece together the magic crystal wand.

After all, in order to create a magic crystal wand, top wand-making skills are indispensable.

So Amon’s second small goal is to become a stick-making master within a month!

Because of his previous experience in organizing Voldemort's memories, Amon specially coded Ollivander's memories in chronological order this time, which immediately reduced the difficulty by half.

……

Time passed quickly while Amon was sorting out Ollivander's staff-making knowledge. It was already more than half a month later when Amon completed his second small goal.

For more than half a month, Amon not only sorted out the wand-making knowledge in Ollivander's memory, but also read the books related to wand-making that the Nott family and he brought back from Hogwarts.

Moreover, he had already begun to conceive the details of the magic crystal wand in the middle of the process-mainly the choice of the magic text circuit.

The so-called magic text circuit is the engraved path that stimulates the power of magic text.

Magic scripts, or ancient magic scripts, refer to magical letters or spells with magical power passed down from ancient times.

Amon felt that the magical power of the magic text may be a manifestation of the collective subconsciousness of wizards.

After all, it is still the same problem. There are too many branches of magic script in the world, such as European runes, Hebrew in the Arabian Peninsula, hieroglyphs in ancient Egypt, oracle bones in the East...

There are branches under each division. For example, runes have branches such as ancient Fusac, Anglo-Saxon Futok, and post-Fusac, and there are different fonts under these branches.

However, the effects that the magic text can achieve are similar. From this, it can be seen that the specific form of the magic text is not important. The key lies in the conceptual symbolism of the magic text.

In other words, it depends on what the wizard thinks the magic text should be.

Therefore, he speculated that perhaps at the beginning, the magic text did not have magical power, but more and more wizards' "belief" gave the magic text unique power.

The "more and more" here refers not only to the breadth of space, but also to the length of time. The subconscious power of all wizards throughout the ages is enough to create a "true god"!

Of course, this is actually a question of "phoenix and fire". Thinking about this question does not have much practical significance for Amon for the time being.

The focus now should be on the mainstream magic script in the British magic world - ancient runes, also known as runes.

Because the rune circuit of the Ollivander family is also constructed using runes.

And the rune system that Amon chose is also the rune system that holds the most information——

Rune is a symbol that is considered to carry the primary definition of "secret or mystery".

Each rune symbol is a unit of secret knowledge, representing an invisible and eternal thought.

Therefore, in its application to magic, a rune is first and foremost a secret, sacred concept or idea that must be expressed or used cryptically.

Therefore, over time, the most primitive rune magic - carving runes on magical substances or directly using them as spells to achieve different magical effects, was gradually abandoned by wizards.

Wizards believe that such barbaric and rude behavior cannot inspire the elegant and powerful mysterious power contained in runes.

The more "secret" alchemy, which expresses the power of runes through arrangement and combination, has therefore become favored by wizards, and alchemy has thus become the main use of runes.

Unfortunately, many precious magic script circuits have been lost in history - but this is where the value of Ollivander's memory lies.

As a family that has been focusing on making wands since 1000 years ago, the Ollivander family has a large number of rare magic circuits, and even many lost magic circuits.

Ollivander is the best contemporary staff master from the Ollivander family, and his memory is enough to drive any staff maker or alchemist crazy.

Amon chose seven magic text circuits from them - in fact, the more magic text circuits are not the better, the bearing capacity of the magic materials is one aspect; how to prevent multiple magic text circuits from conflicting and connect them perfectly into a whole That's another key; finally, we have to consider the compatibility of magic materials.

However, there is no need to consider these issues as magic crystal is quite arrogant. Whether it is the ability to carry magic or its compatibility with magic text circuits, magic crystal stands at the top of the magic substance pyramid.

The reason why Amon chose seven magic text circuits is that firstly, he believed that the purer the magic crystal, the better; secondly, it was combined with existing staff-making skills; thirdly, because "7 (Unknown)" is the most magical mysterious number.

The theme runes of these seven magic circuits are: 〈manAAz〉, 〈TIWAZ〉, 〈ansuz〉, 〈gEBO〉, 〈perdo〉, 〈DAGUZ〉, ?6?8URUZ?6?9.

Covering many fields such as matter, spirit, destiny, wisdom, self, miracle, victory, etc., when combined together, a wand can grow with the owner, just like an extension of the arm, it becomes one with the wizard and can be controlled by the arm.

And since the magic crystal will have spirit and life again after being "resurrected", under the connection of these magic circuits and magic power, it can be integrated with Amon - this is exactly Amon's plan!
