The Necromancer of Hogwarts

Looking at the anonymous letter in front of him, Snape quickly recovered from his state of shock.

His brows furrowed deeply.

Snape did love Lily very much, but he was not the kind of guy who lost his mind because of love.

On the contrary, Snape had a calm mind and an unbreakable will.

In the original book, for Lily, he was able to work as an undercover agent for Voldemort, and was not discovered by Voldemort until the end.

You must know that Voldemort has the ability to easily read other people's preferences since he was a child. After learning magic, Voldemort has almost reached the top level in the magical world in the Legilimency spell.

No one can lie in front of Voldemort, he can easily see into the thinking of almost all wizards!

But Snape was able to successfully stay undercover next to Voldemort!

How could such a person be so upset over an anonymous letter?

"Whose trick is it and what is its purpose?"

Snape grabbed his wand, alert to the dangers that might be lurking in the shadows.

At this time, a strange movement came from the eaves, a clicking sound.

Snape suddenly turned around, pointed his wand upward, and then his pupils suddenly shrank.

In the white snow, an owl made of white bones stayed on the eaves of his roof, staring directly at Snape with its dark eyes.

"Is this transformation magic or..." Snape was confused.

At this moment, the bone owl tilted its head, then flapped its bone wings and slowly flew down from the eaves, landing not far in front of Snape.

It used its claws to write a line of crooked words on the snow: "If bones can move, why can't the dead come back?"

Then under Snape's gaze, the Bone Owl bowed to him like a human being, and added his signature - Mr.

After doing this, the Bone Owl suddenly shattered and turned into lifeless bones one after another.

Snape staggered back two steps, unable to believe what he saw and heard.

This wasn't some kind of Transfiguration mixed with deception, Snape could confirm that.

Without saying a word, he hurriedly cleared away the pile of bones on the ground, and then returned to the room holding the anonymous letter.

"By any means, please get me a book on dark magic and transfiguration, I think there will be a lot of them in the Restricted Section at Hogwarts."

"Do not attract attention. Please print it and spread it into single pages, and send it in a tome on alchemy such as "The Complete Alchemical Formula". The reason why I chose the alchemical formula book is because alchemy There are many strange rituals in itself. If someone discovers it, some trouble may be avoided. I hope you can understand."

"Please send the package to 1106 Leiding Road, Cornwallton. Thank you."

Snape frowned.

"Dark magic transformation, is there a dark wizard behind this?"

He wrote down all the information in the anonymous letter, then threw it into the brazier and burned it, then turned and walked outside.

It is not convenient for Snape to enter Hogwarts now, but although books about dark magic transformation are rare, it is not difficult to obtain at this time.

Some pure-blood families who were Death Eaters were struggling with these books. Snape himself was a close friend of the Malfoy family, so he thought it would be a good idea to help him get rid of some of the dark magic books.

Two days later, an owl flew out of Snape's hand. It was carrying a large package that looked a bit heavy.

It contains the things mentioned in the anonymous letter.

Snape took apart a book on dark magic and transfiguration, sandwiched it in a copy of "The Most Complete Alchemy Recipe in Ancient and Modern Times", and sent it to the address mentioned in the letter.

But he also did some tricks.

A page from the dark magic transformation book was made into a door key by him.

Snape could use the portkey to quickly go to where the page was and see who was behind it.

He also did some tricks on the owl's body so that he could see the situation near the owl through magic.

"Let me see what you're going to do."

Snape's cold eyes followed the owl and looked toward the distant sky.

……

No. 1106 Leiding Road, Cornwallton County, is an ancient house that has been abandoned for a long time.

Legend has it that this place is haunted, so nearby residents don’t even dare to go near it.

But on this day, an owl flew straight into this eerie old house.

Snape connected with the owl's vision and felt that the surrounding scene suddenly darkened.

"This is that guy's lair?"

Snape clenched his wand, ready to use the portkey to go here and reveal the true face of the mastermind behind the scenes.

But then no living person appeared, only the sound of clicking.

The owl let out a hoot of fear, and an arm made of bone stretched out from the darkness and removed the package the owl was carrying.

Snape stared at the existence in the darkness. It was a skeleton, a human-shaped skeleton!

Now this lifeless thing is unwrapping the package and taking out the alchemy book inside with the same movements as ordinary people.

"Where is the mastermind behind the scenes? This thing must be handed over to the mastermind behind the scenes, right?"

Snape waited patiently while the owl flew to the branches outside, monitoring every move of the skeletons in the ancient house.

The skeleton flipped through the book page by page, taking out the dark magic pages mixed in, and then put these dark magic pages into a black package.

Then, the skeleton waited patiently until dark, then wrapped in a black robe, carried the package and walked out.

Snape took a deep breath: "The mastermind behind the scenes is going to show up?"

The skeleton walked some distance and walked into a dark alley, where a thin middle-aged man wearing a black robe also appeared here.

The moment the middle-aged man took the package from the skeleton, Snape could no longer hold back and immediately activated the portkey.

A dizzy feeling came over him, and with the help of the portkey's location, Snape instantly crossed a large distance and arrived in the alley.

"Except your weapons!"

Snape, who had already taken the anti-vertigo potion, launched an attack the moment he landed, hitting the middle-aged man with a disarming spell.

Then Snape froze.

This middle-aged man is not a wizard, but a Muggle?

The skeletons in the alley made a clicking sound, and then scattered into a pile of bones in an instant.

"Damn it, I've been fooled!" Snape thought in his heart, already realizing that he had been deliberately lured away.

Snape looked gloomy: "Legilimency."

The middle-aged man's memory flashed before Snape's eyes. Sure enough, this guy was a beggar.

It was a foreigner who gave him a sum of money and asked him to come here to pick up something at this time.

Apart from these, the middle-aged man knew nothing. He didn't even see the person's appearance clearly!

Snape quickly rushed towards the old house.

As expected, the place was empty, and the alchemy book disappeared without a trace.

There was only a line of words written in paint on the wall: "Mr. Snape, our first transaction failed. You are really wary."

"But it doesn't matter. The news about the true existence of the Resurrection Stone is regarded as a free gift from me. I have dealt with all the traces here, and I will trouble you to deal with the rest."

"Please also collect more black magic books for me. I look forward to the next transaction - x."

Snape returned to No. 19 Spider End Lane with a gloomy expression.

"x, don't let me catch you."

……

And on the edge of this town, in a basement, Xiang Yu was writing furiously, recording information one after another on the paper.

Zoe Wei sat aside: "Why did you let the skeleton get into the coffin again? Why don't you just let it bring the book back, so that you don't have to copy it by hand now?"

While connecting with the skeleton's vision, Xiang Yu copied the formula from the alchemy book onto the paper, and said to Zuo Wei, "No. If that book has been tampered with, then we will be exposed."

"Now it is the safest way to completely isolate this book from us and transfer the knowledge in the book through the shared vision between me and the skeleton."

"I am now a fugitive from the magical world, so be careful when sailing."

Zuo Wei grabbed a piece of paper and shrugged: "Okay. So how are we going to do these alchemy skills? I seem to be able to understand only a small part of the simple ones, but I can't understand a lot of them."

Xiang Yu's face was expressionless: "Look for it slowly where you can understand it."

"As long as there are one or two that can be used, we will make a lot of money. This book is thicker than "C Language: From Getting Started to Burial". I don't believe that among tens of thousands of recipes, we can't find one that we can use."

Zoe Wei asked again: "How are we going to sell it if we get it? There are so many wizards in the magic world, so there won't be any who think of this way to make a fortune, right?"

"Is there any law in the magic world that prohibits this? If we sell on a large scale, will people come to our door? If they find you, then we will be finished..."

Xiang Yu curled his lips: "First of all, my age is too conspicuous, so I won't come forward. All transactions are completed by you. I hide in the dark and become the mysterious Mr.

"Secondly, we don't sell goods in the traditional sense at all. Don't think of us as a supermarket that sets up stalls and sells retail goods."

Zuo Wei was stunned: "Then what are we selling?"

Xiang Yu chuckled.

"We sell technology, high-end technology."

"For example, the formula records a kind of dragon-blood steel smelted with dragon's blood. According to the formula, it can ignore the burning of flames and will not melt even in the fierce fire."

“Zo Wei, do you know what is the most common damage to aircraft engine materials?”

Zuo Wei was confused: "What is it?"

Xiang Yu snapped his fingers: "Creep. At high temperatures, even without external stress, metal materials will creep and then deform. One of the properties required of aircraft engine materials is better creep resistance."

"If we sell this dragon's blood steel to the military to build aircraft engines, or provide samples for them to study, is this a way to make money?"

"How do wizards know that the military's aircraft engines are doped with dragon's blood steel? Just kidding, wizards in the magical world don't even know what a car is!"

"They can't even see where this thing is, so why should they suspect that someone violated the confidentiality law?"

"And now many research institutes have some strange results."

"I know that Japanese professors got inspiration from studying the great blue morpho butterfly. They are studying optical stealth materials and have even achieved some results.

They made a piece of cloth that was somewhat similar to the invisibility cloak. Could it be that the wizard was also suspected of having obtained the invisibility cloak formula and was investigated? "

"Their results were published in the journal Nature. Even students in the field of materials and those who are not studying bionic materials don't know what the Blue Morpho butterfly is or what this Japanese research institute does.

The wizarding world knows nothing about this and doesn't even know it exists, so how could they start an investigation? "

Xiang Yu said calmly: "Perhaps in the conventional field, the magic world's confidentiality regulations can effectively isolate magic from Muggles."

"But in this kind of field where the magic world knows nothing about it, the so-called confidentiality regulations are completely in name only."

"If they don't know the research projects of major research institutes around the world and can't discover those secret magical technological creations, then it's also impossible for them to find out what technology we sold to these research institutes."

"The most profitable ways are written in the law. And laws require knowledge to make."

"When the people who make the law know nothing about a certain area, the law has no binding power in this area."

"What we want to exploit is the blind spot of knowledge in the magical world and the loopholes in the Statute of Secrecy."
