Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 77 The Space Inside the Box

During his time back, Jerry would spend almost all his free time in the library whenever he didn't have classes.

After searching through many magic books, he finally found relevant information in a book titled "About Legilimency and Legilimency Spell".

In fact, the Levitation of Souls, being a rather advanced and dangerous spell, does not exist in the seven years of Hogwarts' teaching materials.

Even in the school library, there are only related introductions, but no specific learning methods.

Of course, it might exist in the restricted book section, but he had never been there and didn't know.

In this book, "On Mind Control and Mind Control Mantras," he learned that mind control is divided into two types: mind control and mind control mantras.

Legilims are wizards who are born with the ability to read minds; that is, they do not need to learn it and are born with the ability to read other people's thoughts.

However, these natural mind-grasping beings seem to be difficult to control because their mental power is too strong, and they will suffer if there are too many people around.

Jerry thought it should be like the American wizard Queenie Goldstein from "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them".

The Mind-Capturing Spell is a spell invented by mind-capturing practitioners long ago, who researched their own mind-capturing abilities and created a spell that any wizard could learn.

By simply looking into the other person's eyes and reciting the mantra of "Seizing the Spirit," one can read the other person's thoughts at that moment, and even read their memories by following those thoughts.

A wizard who has mastered the Legilimency spell to an extremely high level is also known as a Legilimency master.

For example, Dumbledore, Voldemort, and Snape.

They don't need spells; they can instantly know what you're thinking just by making eye contact with you.

To completely combat this mind-grabbing technique, one must learn the corresponding brain-closure technique.

Alternatively, you can choose not to make eye contact and concentrate on thinking about other things to prevent the other party from successfully invading your memory. However, the book does not clearly state how effective this is.

However, Jerry felt that it should still have some effect.

Otherwise, wouldn't all the evil Voldemort committed at the school have been wiped out with a single glance from Dumbledore?

"Jerry, are you alright?"

Hermione watched as Jerry safely returned with Professor McGonagall, and immediately ran up to him excitedly and hugged him.

The scene was terrifying. Only when she saw that her best friend was unharmed did she finally feel relieved.

Now all the Gryffindors have returned to the common room with the prefect, but she stayed behind alone because she was worried about Jerry's safety.

This was not allowed under normal circumstances, but Hermione was the messenger and a witness, and she would definitely need to give a detailed account of the whole incident later, so Professor Flitwick, who stayed behind, agreed.

"I'm fine, but Professor Quirrell suffered a serious injury and was taken away by Madam Pomley for treatment!"

Jerry paused for a moment, then smiled and patted Hermione on the shoulder.

On the other side, Daphne, a member of the Slytherin group, pouted and let out a cold snort upon seeing this.

At that moment, Snape also entered the Great Hall. Clearly, for a wizard of his caliber, dealing with a troll was not a difficult task.

The real important thing is to figure out where the troll came from in the basement and where it got into Hogwarts Castle from.

However, after careful questioning, the four deans discovered that neither Hermione nor Jerry knew how the troll had appeared on the first basement level.

Hermione encountered the troll and Professor Quirrell at the bottom of the stairs on the first floor of the dungeon, while Jerry appeared after leaving the common room and hearing Hermione's scream.

So, to find out what really happened, the only way is to ask Professor Quirrell, the first person to come into contact with the troll.

However, we must first wait for Mrs. Pomfrey to stabilize Professor Quirrell's condition before we can inquire about him.

In fact, when answering questions, in order to prevent Snape from using Legilimency on him, Jerry deliberately avoided eye contact with Snape and even activated Superman mode to forcibly clear his mind of distractions and make his brain repeat his words.

However, based on Snape's expression that he inadvertently observed, the other party probably did not use the Legilimency Charm on him.

That's true. Anyone with good character wouldn't casually try to pry into someone else's mind. Besides, apart from omitting the part about the sniper rifle, everything else in his statement was true, and there was nothing to doubt.

After listening to Jerry and Hermione's accounts, Professor McGonagall reiterated that she would give Jerry ten points, which made all the young wizards in Slytherin cheer.

To Jerry's surprise, Snape also gave Hermione an extra three points.

The reason given was that Hermione promptly informed the professors about the situation on the lower level, which deserved a reward.

After everything was finished, Professor McGonagall personally escorted Hermione back to the Gryffindor common room, and Snape also led the young Slytherin wizards back to the Slytherin common room.

Professors Flitwick and Sprout patrolled the castle, looking to see if any other trolls had broken in.

Midnight

Jerry quietly got up and left the dormitory, retrieving the tranquilizer sniper rifle and the small box that had fallen from Professor Quirrell's wizard robe from the two abandoned classrooms.

Then, activating Superman mode, he cautiously made his way to the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor.

During this time, he encountered Mrs. Lorris on patrol.

However, thanks to the catnip powder, Mrs. Lorris did not cause him any trouble.

Inside the house, every request is granted.

Jerry put the tranquilizer sniper rifle back behind the half-body wizard statue, then took out the palm-sized box with some anticipation and slowly opened it.

"It really is a magical spatial device made using alchemy!"

Holding the box up to his eyes, through the palm-sized box, he felt as if he had lifted a cloud in the sky and, through the hole beneath the cloud, saw an open space about the size of a football field, and a typical English villa.

"How are we supposed to get into such a small hole?"

Looking at the tiny hole, barely the size of a palm, and then at his own size, Jerry was at a loss.

But thinking about it, since Professor Quirrell was able to release a three- or four-meter-tall monster out of such a small hole, his size doesn't seem like much!

Jerry placed the open box on the ground, mimicking Newt's entrance into the suitcase world in the movie, stretching his leg towards the opening and thinking, "I want to go in."

Sure enough, a spatial fluctuation appeared above the box, and his foot actually reached into the space inside the box.

There was a ladder about eight or nine meters long at the entrance of the box. After he put one foot in, it landed right on the ladder.

After securing himself on the ladder, he immediately lifted his other foot, which was outside, and stuck it into the space inside the box as well.

And so, he went down the ladder, and soon his figure completely disappeared into the box, leaving only the palm-sized box alone on the floor of the House of Requirement.
