Chapter 180 Magical magic that cannot be practiced without hair
The Dark Lord, who looked down on the Patronus Curse, enthusiastically recommended the three Unforgivable Curses to Tom.
"Some of the more practical little spells." He said, "The heart-breaking spell has the same effect as the muscle-stretching in the Muggle world. It can effectively ensure that some fools quickly learn polite words."
Tom: "..."
"Out-of-body experience is easier to use than the Confusion Curse. It is generally used on some really stupid people who cannot be awakened by the Cruciatus Curse," the Dark Lord continued. "It can save trouble and comfort when doing things. .”
"As for the Avada Kedavra, it's the killing curse that least requires cleaning up the scene," the Dark Lord recommended. "It's clean and neat, with no splashing flesh and blood, no explosions, no messy floors, and no scattered... Gunsmoke... the person who falls down seems to be asleep. As a novice, you can start practicing killing with this spell, and the discomfort will be much less."
He paused for a moment and added: "If you have one?"
Tom realized this might be another test. So he shrugged disapprovingly and said, "Let's wait until I can control the magic effects at will. Who knows what the effect will be if I cast the Death Curse now? Poor Peter will have a hard time cleaning up the living room this time."
The Dark Lord didn't say anything, and took the "pincushion" and sank back into the underground potion room.
Tom turned his gaze to Wormtail, who was struggling to cast the recovery spell. Wormtail shuddered and gave him a flattering smile: "Master?"
Ha, this is the first time Wormtail calls him that. Maybe he was worried that he would use him to practice the Unforgivable Curse on a whim?
"Want to help?" Tom asked.
Wormtail shook his head wildly, unwilling to let Tom increase his workload.
"Okay." Tom sat down and continued to look at the exam syllabus in his hand. "Cross-species transformation requires adjustments to the transformation spell. More complex transformations even require preparation of rituals, such as becoming an Animagus?"
Tom is excited. If he can transform smoothly, will he have another trump card?
But he looked through the robes of knowledge and found that the ritual was more complicated than he had imagined. The first step involves holding a mandrake leaf in your mouth for a full month (from full moon to full moon) without swallowing or spitting out the leaf under any circumstances. As soon as the leaf leaves the mouth, the whole process starts over again.
Including when sleeping? Who can control this? Arrange someone to stand by the bed and quickly put another piece in your mouth when you seem to be swallowing? You wouldn’t wake up early and find you’re full after eating leaves, right?
Or drill a hole in the leaf, thread a short wire through it and tie it to the tooth? Having a hole won't affect the effectiveness of the medicine, right? If you are not allowed to damage the leaves, can you step back and tie the other end of the petiole upward?
The second step is to soak the leaves with your own saliva during the second full moon - wait, if you just want to soak the leaves with saliva, wouldn't it be okay to spit out a bottle beforehand? If you want to be popular, clone yourself and lie down in a nutrient chamber to suck leaves. Can the saliva of the clone be counted as your own saliva?
Tom guessed that the person who compiled this ritual might not have thought about it carefully.
Okay, he continued reading: put the leaf into a small transparent bottle and let it receive pure moonlight - if it was cloudy or there was a lunar eclipse that night, it would be over and start all over again.
Okay, but if there are any good luck rituals or weather divination before the ceremony, will it affect the effect of the ceremony?
Then he added a piece of his own hair to the vial that was being illuminated by the moonlight - it seemed that even a bald man couldn't do it - Tom thought rudely of the Dark Lord himself, and then quickly retracted his thought - a silver teaspoon of dew ( Must be collected from an area that has not been exposed to sunlight or human contact for seven full days) and the pupa of a Ghost-faced Hawkmoth. Let this mixture sit in a quiet, dark place, protected from prying eyes and disturbance, until the next storm.
While waiting for the storm, do the following every sunrise and sunset: point the tip of your wand to your heart, and say the incantation: "Amador, Animo, Animador, Animagus."
every day? At sunrise and sunset? Want to look at the sun?
Tom glanced at Wormtail and asked: "How did you become an Animagus in the first place?" There are so many requirements. If the teacher comes to class on a whim one evening, you can just do it secretly in the classroom. ?
Wormtail, who was sweating profusely and trying to use his meager knowledge of geometry to build the bookshelves surrounding the entire living room, shook his hands, and the wooden strips fell to the ground again. He didn't dare to complain, and said timidly: "Just...just like that, James and Sirius brought the books from home, and they quickly practiced...and then they came to help me..."
His expression was dazed for a moment, as if he was recalling the happy days in the past.
"They helped you practice it," Tom finished for him.
"Yes, my dear friends," Wormtail's expression darkened, "until I succeeded in becoming a mouse."
"A mouse got mixed up in the brave Gryffindor." He said calmly, "I knew at that time that no matter how hard I tried, I was different from them after all." 7K妏婩
Wormtail turned away and went back to repairing his bookshelf.
Tom didn't think carefully about Mr. Peter's mental journey. He just felt that if Peter could master it, he wouldn't have much problem. So what if I turn into a mouse? To save my life is the first priority. I just need to be ruthless and dive into the sewer——
——Tom held his breath in his reverie: No, I can’t be so cruel.
He continued to read the description of the ceremony angrily, and continued, "The process of waiting for the storm may last for weeks, months or even years, but during this period, the transparent bottle must remain completely undisturbed and protected from sunlight, because "Sunlight pollution will cause the worst mutations" - can you take the initiative to move to a place with frequent storms? Do you have to wait where the ceremony begins?
"At the same time, you must resist the temptation to look at the potion in the transparent bottle before the lightning that comes with the storm appears." - What kind of observer effect does magic potion have?
"If you insist on chanting the mantra repeatedly at sunrise and sunset every day, you will feel another heartbeat at the moment when the tip of the wand touches your chest. Sometimes this heartbeat will be stronger than your original heartbeat, and sometimes it will be relatively weak. No matter It doesn't matter. All steps must be done step by step without any changes: say the right spell at the right time, without making mistakes or missing any. When lightning appears in the sky, immediately go to the place where the transparent medicine bottle is hidden. If it is correct After completing all the above steps, the blood-red potion will appear in the bottle, which is about the size of one gulp."
Tom decided not to think about the ingredients of the potion.
"At this time, you must immediately leave for a spacious and safe place to ensure that the transformation process will not cause a commotion or put yourself in danger. Point the tip of the wand to your heart and recite the incantation 'Amado, Animo, Ani' Mado, the Animagus', and drink the potion. If all goes well, you will feel a sharp pain and a pounding double heartbeat. A mental image of the animal shape you will transform into . You must be fearless. It is too late to change your focus now and escape the transformation you have promised."
Well, that is to say, if the transformed animal is not to your liking, there is no way out at this point. It sounds interesting, except that the pre-ceremony is quite complicated and lengthy. It is said that clothes and accessories will blend into the skin and turn into claws, scales, patterns, etc. What will become of his knowledge robe and resurrection stone?
Tom looked around at the door of the potion room, preparing to look through the materials cabinet when the Dark Lord wasn't paying attention - anyway, the ritual didn't say whether to use fresh leaves or dried leaves.
But of course the Dark Lord noticed him.
"Come down," he ordered. "What are you doing?"
"Nothing," said Tom.
"Tell the truth!" The Dark Lord emphasized his tone.
"Okay, okay." Tom made a gesture of surrender. No matter how long the ceremony was, it was impossible to hide from the Dark Lord's eyes throughout the whole process. "I'm going to try an Animagus."
The Dark Lord looked at him quietly for a moment and said, "You can't."
"Why?" Tom was very unconvinced.
The Dark Lord stared at him for a while, not intending to tell him that it was because of the mixture of souls and bodies. He just waved his hand - Tom felt a chill on his head - and said: "Because you have no hair."
Tom touched the smooth top of his head, confused.
