Chapter 258 You Evil Gryffindor

Speaking of eating...

Hey, what a coincidence, Anton happened to actually eat the mandrake.

When practicing Animagus, you need to have Mandrake leaves in your mouth. At the beginning, Anton chewed and swallowed a few pieces. The taste...

Not so good.

He also took a bite of the rhizome, and the taste was bitter and astringent, with an inexplicable sour taste.

But this thing is a great tonic for men.

To be precise, even if it is a non-magical version of the Muggle world, the mandrake has always had the reputation of "helping men and women live" in the Middle Ages.

And this thing is hallucinogenic, one can imagine how much the ancient wizards who hadn't formed a system and slowly groped their way would like this herb.

Of course, Anton is only a second-year kid in the magic school, and this herb is still not suitable for him.

As the research progressed, Anton discovered that this thing definitely had a great effect on the soul.

There is very little research on the soul side of the modern potion system, and the few extremely partial prescriptions are mostly improved from ancient potions.

It's not that modern times are inferior to ancient times, it's just that ancient wizards liked this kind of inexplicable thing and studied it for a long time, but no one studies it in modern times.

The cauldron of the social environment.

Research in the field of academic research is often concentrated in a small group of people, and there is an obvious master-student inheritance.

Yes, even with modern technology, this is often the case.

Not to mention magic, which is difficult to figure out the principle and can only be passed down through experience.

Master-apprentice succession is prone to problems.

A certain apprentice died, or the apprentice was unwilling to learn a certain aspect of knowledge. Anyway, the final result was that there were no masters of potions researching potions in the soul domain.

For example, Snape, he was unwilling to spend time on this aspect.

Some potions that touch the soul are not classified into the soul category, such as the 'love potion', which is the most effective type of love potion.

It can create a strong sense of obsession.

Anton felt that this thing was a 'customized' version of the Imperius Curse, and the Mandrake could definitely improve the formula.

More direct to the soul, the effect is absolutely leveraged.

Although Anton has no interest in improving the formula of the 'Love Potion'.

The light and shadow recording spell constructed lines of different colors, patterns, and dark green cracks beside him, and Anton quickly recorded the magical images belonging to the mandrake.

There are many pieces that need to be recorded.

Buried in the soil to break through state, pulled out of the soil and crying state, seedling form whose sound only causes fainting effect, growth stage form whose sound is fatal...

There is also the one that Rozier helped buy before to practice the mature form of Animagus.

With the deepening of the research on magic images, ordinary magic images can no longer satisfy Anton's research, and he needs to think more deeply about the nature of this magical creature.

Look for changes.

And this will allow him to obtain the animal's instinctive magic when he simulates the Mandrake with the 'Bionic Curse'.

His previous simulations only stayed in appearance and basic abilities, not deep enough.

"Every step is very difficult." Anton sighed, "It seems that the more detailed magic image of the werewolf will also be redrawn."

There is also the magic node similar to the 'switch' of the sub-dragon species, which is also something he must study.

Everything is a big project.

Coming out of the greenhouse, Anton walked towards the castle alone.

Hannah and Neville were left behind by Professor Sprout, who planned to teach these two talented children a small class.

George and Fred took the note signed by the professor and ran to the school library excitedly. Professor Sprout specially recommended a useful book after knowing that they had studied the puffs.

As for Anton, he also got a harvest. He got a rhizome branch trimmed from a mandrake. Anton wrapped it with moist and semi-dry soil, and dripped three drops of a medicinal solution made of bentemonia, which could maintain the activity of this herb. This was the technique Snape had taught him.

If this rhizome is cultivated patiently, there is a chance to regrow a mandrake.

But it is particularly troublesome, and now that the weather is getting colder, it is not the best time to cultivate new mandrake plants, it can easily not last this winter.

All the way up the stone steps next to the auditorium, Anton planned to go to Lupine to discuss redrawing a more three-dimensional werewolf magic image.

At this moment, there was a strange and mournful cry from the corridor in the distance.

Anton frowned, his voice was a bit like Filch's cat, Mrs. Norris.

With Filch's backing, this human cat has always been proud, and this kind of cry is rare.

lonely and sad.

Also with inexplicable fear.

Anton sighed, and after thinking about it, he went over to have a look.

Filch...

No matter what kind of person this person is, it is estimated that there are not a few days to live. Being possessed twice by the remnant soul of Voldemort's body and the diary Horcrux, and the power of the basilisk propped into his body, even normal wizards can't stand this devastated.

Turning a corner, it suddenly became noisy.

Mrs. Norris hid in the dark under a pair of armor, screaming pitifully, with only two green cat eyes showing.

As if expecting a tall figure to suddenly appear.

In front of the armor, two waves of people are confronting each other.

Harry Potter, Ron, Hermione, and Seamus stood in front of the armor. Opposite them were Draco, Goyle, Crabbe, Pansy, and a little boy whose name Anton couldn't remember. attendant.

"Harry~ Pot!" Draco looked at him coldly, "If you don't get out of the way, I will teach you some lessons."

Harry drew out his wand and glared back, "Malfoy, you don't want to hurt this cat!"

oh~

To be honest, Anton felt that Harry's expression was too ironic, that kind of look that was always full of determination, always full of justice, and always felt that he was doing the right thing.

As if to say - you evil Slytherin, you villain.

Draco was clearly furious, and he waved his wand, "Go out!"

The magic spell lights up, and a black snake moves forward quickly.

Anton raised his brows. This spell was only mastered by little wizards in the fourth grade. Although the difficulty was not great for him, Draco was able to master it proficiently.

Oolong out of the hole is considered a summoning spell in the magic category, and it is generally classified under the transformation technique.

Oh yes.

Anton looked at Draco with great interest. If you put aside some filters to look at this person, it seems that he is a person whose talent is not inferior to George and Fred.

First of all, he has slightly inferior Harry Potter's broomstick driving skills, but only slightly inferior.

He is also very talented in learning, and he is one of the 12 high-scoring O.W.L exams in the same grade. He was a prefect when he was in school, and he focused on the field of alchemy after graduation.

There is also Occlumency, in the original book, Draco learns this difficult magic from Bella, mastering it faster and better than Harry Potter. Even Snape couldn't see through him.

In the end, Draco also repaired the Vanishing Cabinet himself.

The power of the new generation, Anton looked at them one by one with a smile, Crabbe who could release the difficult black magic of 'Fiendfire', Harry Potter whose magical power was so surging that he could confront Voldemort, and the almighty schoolmaster hermione...

They are all very good seedlings, but it's a pity that they don't do business every day.

Especially Harry Potter, in the original book, he also mastered high-end magic spells such as Invoking Guardian, Occlumency, and Flying Curse. The only problem is that these spells are learned passively. If he didn't force him, he might only know the simplest disarming spell.

A complete waste of talent.

Just then Harry Potter moved, hissing at the snake.

As if the snake could understand what he said, it turned its head to look at Anton who was watching the excitement not far away, and with a sudden bounce, it turned into a phantom and rushed towards Anton.

Everyone was screaming.

But Anton raised his arm gracefully and waved his wand lightly.

"Split and act!"

As if the black snake's head was grabbed by an invisible hand, it spun and twisted quickly, pulled out the snake's body, and flung it far away.

Boom!

The black snake exploded in mid-air, turning into streaks of light and disappearing.

"Parseltongue?" Anton looked at Harry with a smile, his right eye was full of strange colorful swirls.

In the field of vision of the magic eye just now, he was surprised to find that the so-called 'Parseltongue' is very similar to the cry of the mandrake, it is a magical effect in which magic power and sound react together.

That's not just learning the snake's pronunciation, but a spell with some kind of magical S-shaped magic image.

"Harry, you're a Parseltongue, you wicked Gryffindor!"

Harry Potter's eyes widened to refute, but everyone looked at him in panic, even his best friend Ron took half a step back quietly.

The remaining 2 chapters will be released in the afternoon. I'm almost busy with my personal affairs, and I will resume updating 3 chapters every day.
