Chapter 288 Chapter 288 "The Loyal Maid"
"You want to learn alchemy?" Fred's eyes widened, with an expression of you wanting to steal my job.
"Merlin's beard!" George said with the same astonished expression, "Your accomplishments in potions have already made us feel very hopeless."
Anton carried the linen bag and put it on the table. Inside were hundreds of snake bones, including vertebrae, skulls and some fangs.
"I just want to learn the simple magic of transforming objects."
He pointed to these bones, "I want to assemble these into a human skeleton, or they can be directly transformed into hollow human body modules, just like the dolls hanging clothes in clothing stores."
George froze for a moment, "Puppet? That's easy. There are many books in the library that explain it. For your situation, I would recommend "The Faithful Maid". The alchemy in it is not only easy to understand, but also creates The puppets that come out are the most human-like."
Fred nodded, stirring a pot of fluffy food with a huge pole, "The only problem is that the spells in this book are difficult to learn, but that's what you're good at."
""The Faithful Maid"?" Anton's expression was wonderful.
Oh~
no!
He's still just a child, so he can't think about it.
George poured the prepared potion into the cauldron that Fred was stirring, and took a stick to stir with him. "This book was once all the rage among senior students, but unfortunately the spells are so difficult to learn that almost no one can do it."
Fred chuckled, "Those who are talented in spells are more willing to learn more powerful living statues like 'gargoyles'. Those who are talented in alchemy don't have much talent in spells, so they can't do this. At least I haven’t seen any of my classmates make it, or dare not say it.”
As he said that, he smiled similarly to George, especially wretched.
Anton looked at them with a strange expression. They were talented in spells and alchemy, so they were the two brothers. Seeing that they are so familiar with this aspect, at least they know and have the ability to do it.
But well.
The two brothers have not yet lived independently, and even if they are made, there is no place to put them. If they are found at school, they will be killed. At home...
oh~
Aunt Molly would kill them all!
...
"You want to borrow this? To write "Dumbledore's Wisdom"?" Mrs. Pince had a very weird expression.
The corners of Anton's eyes twitched, and he quickly denied it loudly, "Of course not!"
However, Mrs. Pince still stared at Anton suspiciously, "I advise you not to write it into "Dumbledore's Wisdom", Dumbledore will definitely be angry."
"Of course, of course!"
This is not a book in the restricted section, and of course Mrs. Pince will not refuse it.
It can only be said that these people are too wretched to read this book with tinted glasses. This is knowledge, knowledge!
Anton looked around, stuffed the book into the wizard robe, coughed lightly once or twice, and walked out of the library as if nothing had happened.
"Hey, Anton."
"Haha, haha, hello, Draco."
Draco glanced at Anton suspiciously, always feeling that something was wrong with him, but he still walked past him and continued joking with Pansy.
"Hey, Anthony."
"Haha, hello senior."
"Hey, Anton."
"Haha, Harry, how are you?"
"..."
After Anton walked out of the castle, he ran in small steps and came to a big rock beside the black lake. Then he took a deep breath, feeling his nervous heartbeat.
"Hey! Why do you feel like I'm doing something bad?"
"Blame George and Fred!"
Anton found a rock and sat on it, took the book out of the wizard robe, opened the book cover, and looked at the handwriting on the title page. Anton finally understood why Mrs. Pince's expression was so strange.
"The Faithful Maid"
I dedicate this book to my wife Candela, hoping that she can be freed from the hard work of life. — Percival Dumbledore.
"!!!"
Lao Deng's father wrote it?
Anton thought about it, and it seemed quite reasonable. It didn't seem strange that Dumbledore's father knew alchemy.
Dumbledore's childhood was actually not good, even more tragic than Voldemort. Voldemort grew up in an orphanage and had no father or mother. Dumbledore watched his family members die one by one in his childhood.
It all starts with Dumbledore's sister Ariana.
Earlier, the Dumbledore family lived in the 'Wild Land' (a village in England), and the six-year-old sister Ariana accidentally released magic, which was seen by several Muggle boys and attacked her. As a result, Ariana suffered great mental damage, completely resisted magic, and became a silent person.
How could the father Percival tolerate such a thing, taught the three little boys a lesson, and was finally sentenced to life imprisonment in Azkaban and died in prison.
This is the information Anton knew from watching the short video in his previous life.
But how much can he guess that some information that is not in the text, what kind of "lesson" will sentence Azkaban to life imprisonment? This is no ordinary punishment.
Later, mother Kendra moved to Godric's Hollow with her three young children.
After that, Dumbledore entered Hogwarts and grew up in an environment where all his classmates talked about his father's crimes. Everyone thought that this student from a pure-blood family absolutely hated Muggles.
During his studies, Dumbledore has already shown his superiority far beyond ordinary people. He even maintains frequent correspondence with many masters of magic, including Nicole Flamel, Bathilda Bagshot, and Adebe Worf. Lin and Griselda Marchban.
When Marcheban entered Hogwarts as an examiner of N.E.W.T., he was shocked to see Dumbledore 'doing things with a wand that I have never seen before'.
Such a person who everyone thinks is extremely promising, but something happened when he graduated.
Dumbledore's sister, Ariana Obscure, had a fit and killed their mother, Kendra.
He had to give up all his study tours and job hunting, and returned to Godric's Hollow to take care of his younger brother and sister.
He felt that he might be trapped in this valley for the rest of his life, taking care of his sister until she got old.
Later, Grindelwald also came to Godric's Hollow. The two excellent people attracted each other, had the same excellent magical ability, and had a vision far beyond the world's view of the relationship between wizards and Muggles.
Dumbledore even decided to pack his bags and follow Grindelwald to change the world.
Of course, to bring their sister.
The younger brother Aberforth stopped them and accused Dumbledore of neglecting his sister Ariana after meeting Grindelwald.
The three drew out their wands and fought, and finally the curse accidentally injured the sister Ariana, causing her death.
From then on, Dumbledore was completely freed and was able to leave this sad place.
But no one knows that he has not been relieved, but he still lives with his sister on his back, but since then, the sister has lived in his heart, and every moment is as heavy as a mountain.
In a few years, it will be a hundred years since Ariana's death, that is to say, Dumbledore has resisted this mountain for nearly a hundred years.
...
Sometimes Anton felt that without Ariana, no one knew whether Dumbledore would have done better than Grindelwald.
Dumbledore and Grindelwald join forces, and no one in this world can stop their pace.
What a scene like that looks like.
What kind of scenery is the world of wizards transformed by them.
Grindelwald's persistence, means, and ability to confuse people's hearts in changing the status quo, coupled with Dumbledore's tolerance, wisdom, and openness, what kind of situation will it be.
Now it can only stay in people's fantasy.
...
The surface of the Black Lake turned into a huge block of ice in the heavy snow, and the snowflakes fluttered down from the sky.
Anton gently opened the book, with inexplicable thoughts.
The aroma of ink has experienced the brewing of time, exuding a strong breath with traces of time.
"The Faithful Maid" is very thick, and the author Percival leads Anton into a world full of whimsy with a brisk brushwork.
