The Magical Principles of Natural Philosophy at Hogwarts

Curse of Fear, a very interesting black magic.

It does not cause any substantial damage by itself, and its aggressiveness may not be as good as the simplest curse of pain, but it can directly affect emotions.

On the second day after learning the Curse of Fear, Riddle taught Erwin a corresponding black magic, the Curse of Recklessness. Contrary to the Curse of Fear, the Curse of Recklessness can make the target blind and stupid with great courage, making it lose Calm down and become extremely impulsive and irritable.

At first glance, the curse of recklessness does not seem to have any obvious effect, but Erwin feels that it is more valuable than the curse of fear. The most important thing for a wizard to fight is rational and calm thinking. Once he loses his rationality, he will basically be killed. The other party played with it between the palms of their hands.

Compared with other curses, it is more difficult for a target affected by the curse of recklessness to realize that he is affected by the curse and use the cure.

The Curse of Recklessness can override and remove the Curse of Fear. If the two are used alternately on the same target, Erwin thinks it will have a very interesting effect.

The curse itself is not difficult, but what Erwin pursues is casting spells without a wand and silently. Only in this way can the biggest advantage of the curse-type spells be hidden and not easy to find.Pointing a wand at someone and yelling out curses is a little too straightforward.

This inevitably requires a lot of practice, and he spends most of his time in this area these days.

In fact, whether it is the curse of fear or the curse of recklessness, when it acts on a panicked house elf, it can basically interrupt its spellcasting. After all, it is difficult for such a small thing to have a firm and powerful soul.That is, if it is just to capture Dobby, these three curses are enough.

But Erwin and Riddle had a tacit understanding, and no one mentioned what the original purpose of this black arts teaching was.

Erwin habitually wants to study most efficiently, which in Riddle's view is a precursor to his gradual immersion in the dark arts.

After practice, it is inevitable to communicate with Riddle in other aspects. I have to say that the 16-year-old Dark Lord is very charismatic. Erwin often has the illusion that they seem to be friends.

He wished Riddle had a similar delusion.

He gradually changed the topic to what he wanted. When he pretended to be unconscious for several days and mentioned that there was a lack of private space in this school so that many things could not be done, Riddle took the initiative to explain how to enter the secret room .

"The House of Requirement seems to meet your requirements, but it is almost open to the public. The real hidden place is in the underground of this castle. There is a secret place left by its builder. There are several secret passages in the castle. There, a long time ago, only wizards with Slytherin blood could open those passages, but now, only the accurate pronunciation of the snake language is needed to open the door leading to the secret chamber."

"Why is this so?" Erwin wrote down his own doubts.

"Because I modified it."

That's right, that's why Ginny was able to enter the Chamber of Secrets only under the guidance of the diary. No matter how powerful Riddle was, it was impossible for Ginny to have the blood of Slytherin when she was just a remnant soul.

In other words, when he was 16 years old, he thought of using the Hogwarts Chamber of Secrets as a card in his hand, and the purpose of making this change was naturally so that the Chamber of Secrets could no longer only be opened by himself.

After learning the snake voice syllable to open the secret room, Erwin made an attempt that night, and entered the underground secret room again through the secret passage that Ginny had opened.

It seemed like months had passed since the last time the basilisk was killed here.

It is empty here, except for the luminous stone used for lighting in the mouth of the huge serpentine statue, there is nothing of value.Salazar Slytherin's own heritage or collection is nothing to imagine, because even if there was one here, it would have been scoured by Riddle.

Erwin took a fancy to this place, and many of the things he did were not suitable for public places, but knowing how to open the secret room, he would naturally occupy the magpie's nest unceremoniously, so that he would not have to go to the old place in the future. Run in the Forbidden Forest, and no longer have to unfold the Flamel Cabin just to do something small.

Some unimportant instruments or materials can be taken out of Flamel's cabin and placed in the secret room.He himself was too busy with this matter, so he found a free laborer, which was naturally Melanie.

The vampire disguised as a girl was quite reluctant, but she couldn't resist Erwin, "I only think of me when something happens." She was quite resentful.

Erwin completely ignores her performance.

Rumors and panic are time-sensitive, the basilisk has been solved directly, and in the absence of new attacks, the students have gradually lost interest in the legend of the secret room, and the boring study life makes them instinctively look for other Interesting things, many people, such as Ron, have begun to look forward to Christmas a month in advance.

The years are quiet and good, everything is what a school should be, the main task of the students is to study, everything is as usual.

It was another Monday, and when Erwin was having a quick breakfast as usual, Hermione actually offered to strike up a conversation with him.

"What have you been up to lately?"

"Say something directly." Erwin didn't bother to talk nonsense.

"Well... can I have some more lacewing solution..."

"Have you used up all of it?" Erwin was very surprised.

His attitude obviously made Hermione feel rather ashamed, and Miss Nutria, who was always proud of her own achievements, felt rather ashamed.

"It's not Hermione's fault." Harry hurriedly explained, "Ron and I forgot the time and didn't go to take care of the cauldron, so it burned."

The idea of ​​a few full-time students brewing a complex potion called Polyjuice Potion over the toilet in the women's room was genius.

"It's no problem for me to provide you with processing, but you should prepare the raw materials yourself." Erwin said.

Harry Ron nodded again and again, all looking relieved.

These three little ones don't have the money and channels to buy lacewings, after all, Snape's warehouse will suffer.

After breakfast, a sixth-grade girl helped Lockhart send a message to Erwin, asking him to go to the Dark Arts Office.

At least in the eyes of others, they are still the relationship between professor and student.

When Erwin walked into the office with the huge portrait hanging, Lockhart rubbed his hands rather primly, his frightened look in stark contrast to the bright smile on his portrait.

"Several other professors have agreed to let me add safety facilities for the Quidditch pitch." Lockhart said dryly: "Most of them are waiting to see my jokes, and I did exactly what you asked , you must help me."

"As I said, this in itself is a reward for you, and I will help you free of charge." Erwin said indifferently, "When will the project be carried out?"

"After the end of the Quidditch season this term."

"Then there is still nearly half a year, and there is plenty of time." Erwin nodded slightly, "Since I said that I will help you, then I will naturally fulfill my promise, but you must pay for the materials for building the rune array."

Hearing this, Lockhart couldn't help but shiver.

Erwin naturally saw him like this, "Are you worried that I will use this to blackmail you? Do you think I will need to use such a troublesome method if I want to get Garen from you?"

Lockhart was relieved.

He also inquired about some news from Professor McGonagall during this period, and he generally understood that this young man seemed to be valued by the principal, Professor Dumbledore. Since he had the background of the strongest wizard in Britain, he was indeed an existence that could not be offended.

Lockhart suddenly felt less bitter about what had happened to him.

Maybe this is the future Headmaster of Hogwarts, he thought.

Two days later, on Thursday afternoon, it was Gryffindor and Slytherin in Potions class together.

This was the happiest time of the week for Harry and most of the Gryffindor students, and the thought of being unable to avoid Snape's stinky face until graduation made him even more sad.

Irwin was also in the classroom, because Professor McGonagall had told him in advance that this Potions class was very important and he could not be absent. As for the specific aspects, she did not directly explain.

Professor Snape is undoubtedly a powerful wizard, but no matter how powerful a wizard is, he seems to have a blind spot of knowledge. He doesn't seem to know how to remove the spell that greases his hair.The Potions professor walked up to the podium quickly, and after he raised his wand, the students in the classroom fell silent. He waved his wand again, and bottles of potions floated from the basket next to the podium, and flew to every room with precision. A student's desk.

"You have five minutes to drink it up."

Erwin looked at the light blue liquid in the bottle in his hand, which should be what Professor McGonagall reminded him not to miss.

"Professor, what kind of potion is this?" Someone asked, and it was the brave and fearless Hermione.

Snape glanced at her, miraculously did not deduct points from her, but replied patiently: "The Magic Awakening Potion is used to stimulate your blood vessels, so that your magic power can grow rapidly."

He turned around, "Miss Granger, you should thank Hogwarts, Muggle-born students would not have access to this level of potion, but thanks to our education policy, it is free for all students of."

Erwin's eyes lit up with the potion that could stimulate magical talent, no wonder Hogwarts is sure to teach every student to be a qualified wizard.

He encountered difficulties in researching his own blood potion, perhaps he could learn something from this finished potion.

However, there are still some doubts.

Erwin raised his hand, "Professor, did you concoct these potions?"

Snape snorted coldly, "Do you think I have a lot of free time when I'm teaching you idiots? These potions are all purchased from professional potions masters."

"But why can't I see this kind of potion for sale in the pharmacy in Diagon Alley?" Erwin didn't give up asking.

Snape sneered, "Do you think something that is really valuable needs to be put on the shelves for sale?"
