Hogwarts: Voldemort, don't stop me from studying

Forest fires are no small matter. As long as someone sees smoke, they will most likely call the fire department.

It’s just that this place is far away from the fire station in town and the road is difficult to travel, so they still have plenty of time.

Lupin nodded and said, "Remember what I told you, precise control is more important than its power."

"Yes."

Wade put away his wand and replaced it with the one he bought from a second-hand store, which was made of mountain phoenix tail feathers. He calmed his breathing and cleared his mind so that he could focus better.

"Fire is raging!"

With a "whoosh", an orange-gold flame shot out from the tip of the wand, landed on the big tree next to Gaunt's cottage, and immediately burned fiercely.

Wade did not put down his wand. He stared at the flame intently and could vaguely feel the secret and invisible connection between it and himself.

Lupin also held his wand, ready at any time.

Although Fiendfyre was dangerous and difficult to control, it had magic that could break the curse. If it was only slightly out of control, Lupin could temporarily block it with a barrier, giving Vader time to regain control.

The flames continued to spread and rise, and suddenly turned into the shape of a hound, as if it wanted to devour someone, and then suddenly dissipated; then a hippogriff ran out of the fire, ran around the house, set fire to everything that could be ignited, and then melted into the fire.

The flames kept changing their shapes: dragon, phoenix, niffler, bird-snake, wolf, chimera...

Some of them flew, some ran, and sometimes they seemed to be about to rush out, but were blocked by Lupin's water curtain.

Gradually, the fire beasts became more and more agile, but they no longer rushed out of the circle. Lupin glanced at Vader, whose forehead was oozing with beads of sweat, and praised him secretly in his heart.

Many wizards never dared to use the Fiery Spell for fear of losing control. Magic is subjective, and their fear of spells also makes it more difficult to learn.

Lupin himself also learned this magic when he was a teenager. At that time, he and his friends did a lot of great things together. They were fearless and only hated the dark magic, but did not have any awe of it.

Even so, he had to burn a lot of things on the beach before he learned how to control the fierce fire.

Lupin had originally planned to teach Vader in the same way. He was prepared for Vader to fail several times and have to throw away his old wand, but he didn't expect that he would slowly succeed the first time.

The child in front of him is truly a natural born wizard, and he is destined to become as powerful as Dumbledore.

Maybe even surpass Dumbledore.

Lupin narrowed his eyes slightly and watched the flames gradually form a golden bird, which looked like a phoenix, but was somewhat different from Dumbledore's phoenix.

It spread its wings lightly in the flames and flew. Its eyes, which seemed to be formed by the flames, seemed to be looking at them.

From time to time, intermittent beeping sounds could be heard in the flames, sometimes like glass breaking, sometimes like something exploding.

Lupin didn't find it strange either.

Since they were once a wizard family, there must be various spells around them, but the Fiendfyre is so powerful that it can even destroy most of them.

But then, Lupin's calm expression was broken.

A familiar scream was heard in the flames!

Chapter 179 The second Horcrux, destroyed!

The shrill scream sounded like a steel knife scraping against his brain, and for a moment Lupin was in a daze.

Then they saw a huge human-shaped shadow rushing out with flames all over its body, its body twisted and screaming, and then they saw Wade and Lupin.

"How dare you...how dare you..."

It roared madly and rushed towards the two of them in anger. Stunned, Lupin suddenly came to his senses and thrust his wand into the ground, and a huge transparent barrier suddenly formed in front of him.

The flaming figure crashed into the barrier, and fierce fire splashed everywhere like broken glass. Then the firebird rushed up, pounced directly on top of the flaming figure, and started fighting with it.

Roars and screams sounded alternately, and the figure tried to break through the firebird's entanglement several times and attack the two people, but was blocked by Lupin's barrier every time.

During the most dangerous time, the barrier was almost shattered by it, but the firebird suddenly grew several times larger and pressed down the shadow from above, almost tearing it apart with its sharp claws.

The fire spread everywhere, but it was quickly extinguished because there was no combustible material. The old house of the Gaunt family and the big tree next to it were almost burned to the ground.

Suddenly, the black shadow let out a desperate wail that seemed to come from the depths of its soul, and suddenly disappeared.

Only the Firebird, having lost its enemy, swooped to the ground, looking around in confusion.

Then, under Wade's control, the Firebird gathered all the scattered Fiendfyre and lay on the ruins of Gaunt's house until the last blade of grass was burned and the last brick was cracked.

Lupin put down his wand, his face was as pale as paper, and his fingertips seemed to be trembling slightly.

Last time, the crown was burned in the cave, and this time, in the old house of the Gaunt family... A similar black shadow appeared both times, screaming... and attacking the person who destroyed it as if it had its own thoughts...

This can't be a coincidence.

Some terrible guesses occurred to Lupin's mind.

He recalled the magic books he had read, wondering what kind of magic could achieve such an effect.

The Firebird's body shrank smaller and smaller.

Finally, it lay in the dust, its body as small as an egg. It looked up at Weed, opened its mouth, and seemed to make a silent and weak cry.

Vader thought about it and walked towards it. He squatted down, but never relaxed his control over the Fiendfyre.

Then, a thin silver mist gushed out from the tip of his wand, wrapping the firebird in the middle. The mist was not burned by the fierce fire, but gradually penetrated into the body of the firebird.

Of course.

Because pure thought has no form and cannot burn.

As the mist gradually reduced, the Firebird's eyes gradually became more alert. It no longer tried to kill Wade, but instead bent down meekly and lowered its head.

Wade chanted a spell softly, and rays of magic light continued to flash on the firebird. Mysterious magic arrays overlapped layer by layer, and complex magic runes moved along specific trajectories and embedded themselves in the firebird's body.

The Fiery Flame, which was about to dissipate, absorbed the free magical power in nature, and its body gradually stabilized. Feather patterns gradually formed on its illusory form.

Lupin was holding his breath beside him, not daring to disturb him.

It was the first time for him to see biological alchemy. Even though Lupin was also a wizard, he felt that this process was so mysterious and wonderful that it almost made him forget to breathe.

Faintly, he thought he heard the sound of his heartbeat, but it seemed to be an illusion.

After an unknown amount of time, Wade put down his wand.

The firebird hopped a few times on the ground, suddenly spread its wings and flew high into the sky. Sometimes it flapped its wings and flew at high speed, sometimes it folded its wings and dived down, sometimes it shuttled back and forth at lightning speed, and sometimes it landed on a branch and danced gracefully.

When it fell, Lupin was a little nervous, fearing that it would set the nearby woods on fire. However, the dead branch did not catch fire, and only had a few charred marks on it when the firebird flew away.

After flying for a while, the firebird landed in front of Vader. It opened its mouth, stretched its neck, and tried for a few seconds before finally making its first cry.

"Chirp!"

A small ball of flame splashed onto the dead leaves in front of the Firebird, and the leaves suddenly caught fire.

The firebird was startled and jumped away quickly. After watching for a while, it opened its mouth and swallowed the ball of fierce fire, then jumped back to Wade.

Vader held out his hand.

"Be careful!" Lupin was startled and hurried to stop him.

But the firebird had already jumped onto Vader's palm. It carefully controlled its flames, but wisps of white steam still rose from its feet.

Lupin looked carefully and saw a thin film of water on Vader's palm. Although the boy was safe, he still shook his head in disapproval and said, "Too risky."

"It's okay." Vader said, "I created it with the belief of protection and loyalty, and it will never hurt me. It is no longer a fierce fire that does not distinguish between friend and foe, but a living being with thoughts."

"Then you have to take good care of it. If this little guy flies out, it might cause a huge disaster."

"Of course, it will stay with me forever." Vader thought for a moment and said, "How about calling it Mihael? The flaming sword... the light born from darkness."

Lupin looked at the little guy who tilted his head to look at him and said, "It's a good name."

I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but the bird also nodded, as if agreeing with his point of view.

Lupin couldn't help but laugh.

He had seen the magic pets made by Wade before, and had also gone to Aslan's magic workshop in person to participate in the design and manufacturing process on Wade's behalf, so he was not surprised.

But Lupin didn't really realize that Michal was actually different from the previous magical pets.

The difference between them is not just the difference in carriers, but more importantly the difference in the nature of life.

Conventional biological alchemy is to give thoughts to inanimate objects. Even though Wade's version of magic pets is more flexible and has more growth potential than wizard chess, they do not really have life, but are just magical versions of AI.

But Michal was different.

When Wade discovered that traditional biological alchemy did not work on this kind of fierce fire creature, he suddenly had an idea and remembered what Professor Murray had said about the true alchemy of life.

Although Professor Murray said that creating life forms was a taboo in magic, he still taught Wade intermittently during the teaching process.

At this moment, Vader and Michal's golden eyes met, and he couldn't help but think:

Are you real life?

Or... just looks like it?

In his opinion, life alchemy should be long and difficult, rather than being completed in just a dozen minutes.

Vader stared intently, with golden lines of magic interweaving in his eyes.

Although all the magic on the Firebird was given by Vader, when he looked at the patterns at this moment, he still felt that they were complex and profound.

It was as if this firebird was not created by him, but was a miracle of life created naturally by heaven and earth.

Chapter 180 Lupin: Oblivion

The distinctive sound of a fire truck's siren rang out from afar, through the forest.

"Time to go," said Lupin.

"Hold on."

Vader whispered to Michal, "Please."

Michal spread his wings and landed on the ruins, and golden flames spread out, covering the entire area.

After a moment, the flame was retracted, and the golden bird picked up a black ring from the dust.

There was some black, sticky stuff stuck on it, which turned into ash and fell off after being roasted by Mihael's flame for a while.

The gold on the ring was completely melted by the fire and solidified into a strange pool. Michael pecked at it twice with his mouth, removed the gold, and returned to Wade with only the black gem in his mouth.
