Hogwarts Mystery Sequence

"So... it's really Nott who controls Lockhart, and it's him who gives us lessons and assigns those inhumane homework?!"

Ron was stunned after hearing Harry's story.

He came back to his senses immediately and said excitedly:

"Then what are we waiting for? Tell Professor Dumbledore immediately and ask him to expel Nott and Lockhart!"

"What about our Defense Against the Dark Arts class?" Harry said hesitantly.

"Moreover, Nott was only defending himself. Although his subsequent behavior of controlling Lockhart was very evil, he also made a lot of preparations for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class very seriously, and the results were very good..."

"Hey!" Ron looked at Harry with wide eyes.

"Harry, are you actually speaking for that Nott again?"

"How do you know that guy who talks so much about trains isn't making up lies again this time?"

"I think it was Nott who took the initiative to attack Lockhart and control him."

"This is definitely something that bad embryo can do!"

At this time, Hermione also hesitated and said to Harry:

"Harry, we really have no way to confirm Nott's words."

"The best way now is to tell Professor Dumbledore. I think he will be able to solve the problem of Nott and Professor Dumbledore very well."

But Harry was still hesitant, and he said tentatively:

"I don't think there's any need to bother Professor Dumbledore about this, right?"

"Nott has promised that he will stop at the end of this term."

When he saw Hermione frowning, he immediately added:

"And we can completely supervise him. If there is anything wrong, it will not be too late to report it to Professor Dumbledore."

Hermione's frown was still unresolved, but she also realized the reason why Harry defended Nott so much - Harry had already told her and Ron everything Nott said to him in the school hospital.

Therefore, even though she had doubts about Harry's suggestion, and there was still a feeling of dissatisfaction and unwillingness towards Nott in her heart, she was still willing to fulfill her friend's wish and give Nott a chance.

Hermione's acquiescence brought the vote to two to one, which made Ron quite dissatisfied but he had no choice but to agree.

However, he secretly vowed to catch Nott sooner or later and drive this "mysterious man's apprentice" out of Hogwarts!

……

As October gradually approaches, the raging mountain wind becomes colder and damper, which makes Madam Pomfrey busy all of a sudden - young wizards always ignore the season.

But none of these could penetrate the thick earth and affect Amon in the secret room.

He was currently in Slytherin's research room, sitting on a chair and sorting out some notes.

Oh, no, it should be his research laboratory now.

What he is studying is the iconic ability of level five transformation - Animagus.

At the same time, this is also preparation for promotion to the next sequence - "Sequence 7: Occultist".

Because being promoted to "Occultist" requires not only understanding the knowledge of all magic subjects, but also mastering high-end magic knowledge and skills in at least three magic subjects.

However, Amon has Voldemort's memories;

Moreover, after being promoted to "Magical Professor", the shackles of age no longer exist, and he can truly transform those memories into strength.

Therefore, the accumulation process can be shortened significantly.

Potions, transfiguration, black magic...

In fact, the magic knowledge reserve required for Amon's promotion has almost been reached.

When he masters Animagus, he can prepare to be promoted to "occultist".

……

The first step in practicing Animagus is to hold a single mandrake leaf in your mouth continuously for a full month (from full moon to full moon);

This is also what Amon is doing.

It's not easy, because you have to make sure you don't swallow or remove the leaves, or you have to start all over again.

After that, he needs to take out the leaves during the full moon, fill a crystal vial with saliva, soak the leaves in it, and let it receive the pure moonlight.

If the clouds happened to be overcast that night, he would have to start all over again.

Then, a strand of his hair and a silver teaspoon of dew were added to the moonlit crystal vial - dew must have been collected from a place where there had been no sunlight or human contact for seven full days.

Finally add a pupa of the Grimace Hawkmoth.

Keep the mixture in a completely quiet, dark place until a thunderstorm strikes, which may take weeks, months, or even years.

During this period, Amon must keep the crystal vial completely undisturbed and out of contact with the sun, otherwise the most disastrous mutation will occur.

At the same time, while waiting for the storm to come, he would point the tip of the wand to his heart every sunrise and sunset, and recite the incantation: "Amato, Animo, Animato, Animagus. (S)"

Finally, at the moment when lightning breaks through the sky, take out the magic potion immediately;

After chanting the spell and drinking it, you can become an animagus.

This process is quite tedious and requires the right time, location, and people.

But Amon still has a lucky charm!

This will help him be lucky enough during his time practicing Animagus!

……

Auditorium hall.

"Death anniversary party?" Hermione showed an interested expression.

"I dare say that not many living people have attended the ghost's death anniversary party." Harry said excitedly.

Not just because attending such a death anniversary party sounds extremely fun and unforgettable, but also because it was an invitation from a friend.

He was already thinking about what to wear to Halloween—something he had absolutely no experience with.

“Why would anyone want to commemorate their death?”

Unlike Harry and Harry, Ron was extremely irritable because of his Dark Arts and Potions homework.

"If the inviter is Lockhart, oh, no, Nott, or Snape, I think I would be very interested."

……

As Halloween approaches, the festive atmosphere in Hogwarts Castle is gradually getting stronger.

The little wizards are all guessing about the delicious food at the Halloween dinner, and they also heard that Dumbledore specially invited a skeleton dance troupe to perform at Hogwarts this year.

They're looking forward to more surprises this Halloween - just like last year.

Such lively anger naturally infected Harry.

He began to regret that he had agreed to Nick so hastily.

But what was done was done, and it was too late to go back on his words - Harry didn't want to break his promise to his friends.

Just as the trio and the teachers and students of Hogwarts were immersed in the Halloween party, Amon came to the secret room alone - where he buried the Animagus potion.

And today's weather was a storm with thunder and lightning as Amon expected - he was lucky during this time.

He took out the buried potion and found that it had turned blood red - which proved that the steps were correct.

Then he took out the wand and pointed the tip towards his heart - although the wand was completely unnecessary for Amon now, he still chose to follow the requirements of the process.

"AmatoAnimoAnimatoAnimagus. (Amato, Animo, Animado, Animagus)"

Suddenly, a strong pain hit him like a tide, and Amon felt as if there were two hearts beating fiercely in his chest.

At the same time, a black shadow appeared in his mind. The clothes on his body - black magic robe, pointed hat, monocle, began to blend into his skin, and his body shape gradually changed, transforming towards the black shadow.

Amon's eyes darkened slightly, he held back his discomfort, cleared his mind, and completely followed his intuition of change.

After the deformation stabilized, he looked at his new body through the prepared mirror.

Then, an animal that looked like a crow was projected into Amon's eyes through the mirror.

But unlike ordinary crows, the crow's feathers in the mirror are almost transparent, with rings one after another on them, and a circle of black around its right eye.

and……

Amon felt himself, and the crow in the mirror tilted his head.

He could feel the extraordinaryness of this crow's body, and a talent-like ability naturally emerged in his mind.

In other words, the crow he turned into is actually a magical animal!

And Amon had already expected this. After all, he had completed two sequences of promotions, and his body already possessed some magical properties, as well as the function of a monocle.

Therefore, it is not unfounded that his animagus will transform into magical animals.

On the contrary, it was the ability of the crow form that Amon found very interesting.

--parasitic.

As the name suggests, when he transforms into a crow form, he can turn his feathers into translucent insects composed of twelve segments, which can parasitize the spirits of other creatures.

When superficially parasitic, Amon can hide himself with the help of the host, extend his life, and recover from injuries;

He can see everything the host sees and hear all the sounds the host hears, but cannot directly control the host;

But when parasitized at a deep level, he can fully control the host, nearly fuse with the host's spirit body, directly monitor the host's thoughts, understand the host's intentions, and actively take over the body;

At that time, except for the host's thoughts, it still belonged to him, and he could no longer control anything else.

——This is simply the magical replica of "Mysterious" and "Parasite"!

"interesting……"

The crow suddenly showed a weird smile and said - he also has human language ability in the Animagus state.

Of course, there is a great possibility that his own gradually rising "obsession" with "Amon" inadvertently affected the magic power, which in turn caused him to subtly change into the image of "Amon".

Such changes are cause for caution, but they are not serious if they do not exceed a certain limit.

So Amon put this problem behind him for the time being.

Immediately, a white light enveloped him, and he returned to his original shape in an instant - after becoming the "Magic Professor", all the magic Amon learned would also become "skills" and could be cast without a wand or spell.

And although Amon is now very curious about the effect of "parasitism" ability, he still has more important things to do - to be promoted to "Mysterious Master"!
