章節 414: Chapter 414: Dark Magic Transfiguration Ritual
"Who? Who's there?"
Joseemal Reed instantly became alerted by the door opening.
He stood up abruptly, and the huge movement knocked over a hot cauldron with the potion.
But he didn't care about that, and quickly drew his wand and pointed it in the direction of the door, with a crazed look on his face.
"Come out! Hurry... I can see you."
While staring fixedly at the doorway, Reed unobtrusively and quietly retreated, trying to increase the distance between him and the intruder.
Andy didn't waste any time and raised his wand directly.
A beam of magic light flashed suddenly.
Bang!
Reed blocked Andy's spell with the Shield Charm and looked sharply in the direction of the spell attack.
The attack just now revealed Andy's figure.
Reed looked at Andy and a vicious smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Kid, here for revenge? Or are you just looking for trouble? But... you've come to the wrong place!"
After saying this, Reed suddenly pointed his wand at Andy but felt a sudden sharp pain in his right shoulder.
"Ahhh..."
Reed let out a cry of pain, and the spell he was about to cast was interrupted.
However, before he could check the condition of his right shoulder, he saw a bright light flash in front of his eyes, and he immediately lost consciousness.
Andy looked back to check the situation outside, and after finding that no one was paying attention here, he slammed the door behind him and walked into the house.
"Transfiguration still works surprisingly well."
Andy waved his wand and cast a second Stunning Spell on Reed, and then conjured a rope to tie Reed up tightly.
Reed had retreated before to create distance and cast Apparition to escape – because casting Apparition takes a little time, if the distance is too close, it is easy for someone to interrupt the spell, and it is possible for someone to cast 'Side-Along Apparition' to keep up.
But he obviously overlooked the environment in the room.
After using a spell to attract Reed's attention, Andy immediately turned the glass bottle behind Reed into a sharp sword, piercing Reed's right shoulder.
Thus, easily dealing with Reed.
After picking up Reed's wand, Andy searched Reed's room again. However, he only found 70 gold galleons and some silver sickles, as well as more than 1,000 pounds of sterling.
Placing his hands on Reed's body, Andy instantly disappeared from the spot with Reed.
***
In the mountains near Hogsmeade Village, Andy and Reed appeared out of thin air at the entrance to a cave.
Holding his wand, he tapped it lightly against Reed's body, and Reed's body immediately floated up.
He took him into the cave and went through a tunnel more than 20 metres long before arriving in a stone chamber.
Snap!
Andy snapped his fingers.
Torches lit up all around, illuminating the entire stone chamber.
It was a stone chamber of more than 50 square metres, with two wooden doors on the left and right sides. The doors were engraved with some strange, scarlet symbols that looked very evil.
Andy took out a glass vial about ten centimetres in diameter, collected some of Reed's blood, and then put the Resurrection Stone in it.
After shaking the vial, Andy added some auxiliary potion ingredients powder to the vial.
After doing all this, Andy went to a corner of the stone room and opened a trapdoor leading to the basement.
Andy took Reed into the basement and locked him in an iron cage.
Inside the cage, there was a bed, a quilt, a toilet, and enough fresh water and food for a week. This meant that for the next week, Reed would have to live here alone.
There was nothing he could do about it because Andy still had to go to school!
After checking to make sure nothing was overlooked, Andy went up to the stone chamber above and locked the trapdoor.
Pop!
Using the Apparition spell again, Andy arrived at the Godric Hollow graveyard.
Seeing that there was no one around, Andy buried the vial containing both Reed's blood and the Resurrection Stone in the middle of the graveyard.
According to the Dark Magic Transfiguration manuscript left by Slytherin, seven days after the blood is buried, the owner of the blood needs to perform a special magical ritual.
—It is to recite an incantation while bleeding and then pour the blood on this piece of land.
Since this magic transfiguration is intended to steal the power of death, Andy chose the cemetery as the location for the ritual – Slytherin only mentioned it should be the most appropriate place in the manuscript.
The bloodletting ritual is performed every seven days for a total of seven times.
It must be said that seven is a magical number.
After seven times, the blood can be used to make the dark magic transfiguration potion.
The time for brewing the potion needs to be chosen when the moon is just peeking out. By the time the next new moon comes, the potion will be officially brewed successfully.
Andy roughly calculated that the whole process would take about two and a half months.
Apart from the fact that the ritual process seems a bit evil, using dark magic to transform requires a short time and a relatively simple procedure. But there is no denying that dark magic transfiguration will definitely have serious side effects.
But that's how dark magic is!
Convenient, powerful, and mysterious... but it will have serious side effects.
'I hope it works!'
Andy gave one last look at the spot where the vial was buried, then used the Apparition spell to return to the Forbidden Forest.
After becoming invisible, Andy quietly returned to the castle and hid in the toilet cubicle in the men's lavatory.
***
At 11:30 a.m., Andy looked through the gap in the toilet cubicle and saw the other Andy walk into the lavatory and then into the adjacent cubicle.
'I really should have checked then!'
At the time, I didn't feel anything, but this feeling of spying on myself was really a bit creepy.
But Andy thought about it and didn't feel the need to check.
Checking the toilet cubicle is an obvious sign that you have something on your mind—normal people would not do such a thing.
Cancelling the Disillusionment charm, Andy walked out of the lavatory as if nothing had happened.
After waiting for a while in the hallway, Hermione came out of the girls' lavatory, "Sorry to keep you waiting."
"It hasn't been long,"
Andy laughed. "Let's go! First, let's go to the Great Hall."
In the Great Hall, Andy and Hermione sat at the Ravenclaw table and ate.
"Did something happen?"
Hermione asked while eating. "Andy, I feel like you're a little more relaxed,"
"Of course, I'll feel a little more relaxed after just using the toilet," Andy joked.
"Don't say such disgusting things while we're eating,"
Hermione looked disgusted, then looked at Andy and said, "I mean your state... To be honest, you've been a bit tense these past few days. I thought it was because you were tired from too many classes."
"Maybe!"
Andy said without much concern. "Maybe it's because I don't have time to practice magic given the tight class schedule recently. Speaking of which, I haven't practised magic in two days."
Hermione's face looked strange on hearing this. "Well...this excuse really suits you."
