Hogwarts in the shadows

Hefeth did not choose to take the train.

Instead, he asked An An to take him and Theodore directly to Brian's old house via Apparition.

He first looked at the five wizards in the dungeon.

Hephis watched secretly for a while.

Although everyone's face looked haggard, at least they were not sick and were still healthy.

Their mental state is also relatively stable, and they eat and drink as they should.

One of them even did exercises with the alchemy doll in broad daylight, but it received a bad review because there were not enough poses.

Uh……

It may also be related to the fact that the alchemy doll is too heavy and too hard.

Hephis replenished each cell with food, cleaned up the environment, and then turned and left.

I don't bother to pay attention to those wizards' crying and shouting.

Today's cause, today's result.

If these five people had not been greedy, how could Hephis have dared to arrest people so blatantly in Knockturn Alley filled with dark wizards that day?

After all, even Aurors wouldn't dare to arrest people in a place like Knockturn Alley.

Back upstairs, Hephis discovered that Theodore had already started practicing magic.

This guy Theodore is definitely the epitome of hard work, he is simply the king of papers.

In fact, Theodore didn't have to come back with him.

After all, you can practice anywhere, and it is even more convenient at Hogwarts.

Theodore had to come along because he wanted to learn how to Apparate.

I have to complain here that those five adults, who were dark wizards, couldn't even Apparate.

Fortunately, An An agreed very readily and was allowed to stay at Brian's old house for two days.

Otherwise, Hephis would have to catch a dark wizard who could Apparate.

As for the work at Hogwarts, it's Christmas now, so there's no need for so many house-elves.

Wait for An An to happily clean up the whole house.

Hephis called An An over.

An An didn't even ask, she took Snape's improved water of life and death and drank it all in one gulp.

Maybe this version of Water of Life and Death is too powerful.

An An had just finished drinking when she fell to the ground with a thud.

Hephis shook his head helplessly and gently picked up An An.

Put him on the bed and cover him with a blanket.

Hephis had asked Snape about the An'an Contract before.

It’s not easy to do, or it’s impossible to do.

The contract of a house-elf is with Hogwarts.

So even if Dumbledore agreed, his words didn't count.

We can only wait until Hephis graduates and then sign a supplementary agreement with Hogwarts.

Continue to let An An serve him on loan.

This lease is limited to a maximum of ninety-nine years.

And it is not possible to renew the contract with the same house-elf.

so!

There are some things that An An still cannot know, after all, there are many people who can order An An around.

And Dumbledore also knew the relationship between Hephis and An An.

If he wanted to ask, An An would not be able to refuse to answer.

Hephis cut off An An's shadow easily, so he swallowed it without hesitation.

He didn't feel any discomfort in his body, and even his magic power didn't increase much.

The magic of house-elves is a kind of inherited magic.

In other words, they were born with the ability to master these magics, the only difference was the degree of proficiency.

This requires them to hone their skills repeatedly during use to increase their control capabilities.

And their magic is mostly household magic.

Hephis looked through An An's memory and was once again shocked by the elf's train of thought.

An An particularly likes to use tools to clean, it’s not that he is not proficient in housework magic.

It's because it allows him to work longer hours.

And this is not an isolated case. In An An's memory, most elves work in this way.

Maybe it’s because there are too many elves in Hogwarts and they are all too bored.

Hephis began to look for the magic he needed.

Apparition, Purification Mantra, Connection Mantra...

He even included family magic and copied it all.

Wait, what the hell is this?

The clone spell?

He curiously flipped through the records about this spell, and found that this clone spell was not the same as that clone spell.

This clone spell cannot split a person into two.

Instead, we can inject a piece of consciousness into an object, so that the object can work autonomously according to this consciousness.

Even think about how to complete the task more reasonably.

He studied the clone spell carefully and found that it was very promising.

Although Shadow can attack and respond autonomously, that is only based on the instructions he has set in advance.

The shadow itself cannot think, which is why it can practice Transfiguration but cannot read.

Because shadows can increase proficiency, but they cannot learn new skills, let alone develop skills independently.

But if consciousness is injected into the shadow, then the shadow becomes another Hephaestus.

It's just that it has no emotions and its way of doing things is more rational.

This is wonderful!

If he could get a few more of them, the shadow army he had envisioned before would be ready.

When you have nothing to do, you can let them learn to read.

When something happens, they can instantly transform into the most powerful assassination corps.

Hephis felt a little excited when he thought about it!

Even unlimited Apparition is not useful anymore.

In fact, when he saw the Weasley family's car, he had the idea of ​​establishing the Shadow Legion.

Unfortunately, he didn't understand the car at all.

Originally, he planned to find time to talk to Arthur Weasley about how to open the intelligence of objects.

But now, it doesn’t matter whether we talk or not.

It’s a bit regrettable that An An has never used the clone spell.

Therefore, the current proficiency is zero, and Hephis has to start from scratch.

Hephis cleared all the useless memories from his mind and ran downstairs.

Hephis first pulled the shadow out of Theodore's body, and then handed him An'an's shadow.

Theodore swallowed it without hesitation.

"Theodore, memorize the spells for the Clone and Apparition spells."

Theodore nodded and quickly stored both memories.

"You should learn the Clone Spell first. It will be very useful to me." Hephis added.

"Yes, master." Theodore responded and immediately began to study the clone spell.

As he read on, his eyes suddenly lit up, and it was obvious that he also realized the benefits that this spell could bring.

Theodore began to study it with great concentration.

Hefeth was very satisfied, and the tool man Theodore came online.

At the same time, he began to practice Apparition.

This spell is really convenient, and it’s the elf version.

Because An An is very skilled in using this spell.

After only a few practices, Hefeis reached Anan's level.

As soon as he thought about it, his figure disappeared from the spot in an instant, and the next moment he appeared in the Vulture Gang's lair.
