Hogwarts: Undercover Death Eater Replaces the Dark Lord

Gemma Farley curled her lips, took Lecos out of the sixth grade Potions classroom, and locked the door carefully.

"It's just an old book. Professor Snape shouldn't find out...right?" Lecos felt a little guilty at this moment.

Because what he took away was not something else, but Snape's old books... What if Snape suddenly wanted to look at his old notes, wouldn't he be exposed?

Lycos could only hope that Snape had forgotten about his old book filled with notes.

After all, in the original plot, his book stayed in the sixth-grade Potions classroom until Harry Potter's sixth year, and was casually given away by Professor Slughorn...

If that's the case, Snape should have stopped caring about this book a long time ago.

……

As soon as he returned to the dormitory, Lycos couldn't wait to draw the bed curtain, light the wand lighting spell, and flip through the newly acquired "Advanced Potion Making" in his bunk.

The book does contain many recipes for various potions, some of which were improved by Snape, who modified, scribbled over the original potion-making procedures, or added his own notes in the blanks.

But Lycos was not very interested in refining these potions. He just looked for some quite distinctive spells on the blank marks.

He found six spells in the margins of the book:

Langlock, Levicorpus-silence, Liberacorpus, Muffliato, Sectumsempra, Planting Toes.

Among them, the only curse is "God's Shadowless Edge".

Locking the tongue and sealing the throat, and hanging from the golden bell are poisonous curses, and the falling golden bell is the counter-curse of hanging from the golden bell; growing toenails is a minor evil curse; and blocking ears is an ordinary magic spell.

For a normal wizard, the spell of closing one's ears and blocking one's hearing is the easiest to learn.

This spell has a magical effect on turning decay into something good for a young wizard like Draco who is troubled by snoring.

However, for Lecos, whose talents were all in black magic, only the one about closing his ears and plugging his ears required repeated practice to learn. As for the other one curse and two poisonous curses, he could learn them almost completely after watching them a few times.

As for the little curse that made toenails grow, Lycos didn't understand Snape's intention in inventing it, and he had no intention of learning it...

"Draco, I've learned a new spell, can you help me test it out?"

Lycos suddenly pulled open the bed curtain and called out to Draco who was lying on the bed and about to fall asleep.

"Hmm? What spell?" Draco rubbed his eyes and asked confusedly, "How do you want me to help you test it?"

"It's okay, you don't have to move, just lie there." Lycos curled the corners of his mouth and stretched out his wand from behind the bed curtain.

Draco's spirits suddenly perked up, and a bad feeling came over him.

"Wait, I haven't agreed yet..."

Before he could finish, Lycos silently chanted the spell in his mind -

"Levicorpus."

It was specifically noted in Snape's "Advanced Potion-Making" that the Fuchsia spell was a silent spell and could not be recited... Lycos had never tried it before, so he was not sure whether he could use the silent spell.

But the next moment, the spell took effect -

There was a flash of bright light, and Draco was instantly hooked by his ankles as if by an invisible hook, dangling him upside down in the air.

"Ahhh...what have you done to me?" Draco struggled in the air, shaking his body constantly, and the quilt that had just covered him slipped off his body.

"I can't move, ahh ...

"Pfft!"

Two very discordant laughs came from the other side of the dormitory.

Draco tried to turn his head in mid-air and saw two fat men twisting their bodies upside down, covering their mouths and laughing.

"You two still have the nerve to laugh? Stop laughing!" Draco's face turned red.

Crabbe and Goyle, who were ordered not to sleep, tried to hold back their laughter, but the scene was too funny and they really couldn't help it, so they could only stand at the foot of the wall with their backs turned and faced the wall, making "huff huff" laughter towards the wall.

Lycos also wanted to laugh, but he forced himself to hold it back, and then he chanted a spell to Draco:

"Liberacorpus."

There was another flash of bright light, and then Draco fell onto the bed, tumbling into a heap with the covers beneath him.

"Lex Hayden, I'm not done with you!" He climbed down from the bed with difficulty, kicked off his slippers, and rushed towards Lecos aggressively, dragging the quilt to the ground.

"Wait a minute!" Lycos suddenly raised a hand, interrupting Draco's movements, "I have something else to say!"

"Okay, let me see if you have anything else to say!"

Draco paused, crossed his arms, and glared at Lycos angrily.

When he fell just now, he hit his forehead somewhere and now there is a big bump on it, which does look a bit funny.

"I've learned a new spell and I can teach it to you," Lycos said. "I'm not kidding, this spell can definitely solve your urgent problem!"

"Urgent need? What urgent need could I have?" Draco was still furious, as if he was ready to start a fight if they disagreed. "My urgent need right now is to beat you up before I go to bed!"

"Then come and beat me, you talk as if you can beat me." Lycos leaned back on the bed, looking fearless. "What a pity... I was thinking of teaching you a spell to block out snoring, but it seems I won't have that chance anymore..."

Draco's raised fist suddenly stopped in mid-air.

"You said...what?" he asked in disbelief.

"What? Didn't you hear clearly?" Lycos glanced at him. "I said, I wanted to teach you a spell to block out snoring."

"Why didn't you say so earlier!" Draco immediately retracted his fist, along with his aggressive expression.

He put on a smiling expression and said flatteringly, "Lex, we are friends in the same dormitory! You won't have the heart to let me endure Crabbe and Goyle's snoring all the time, right?"

"I really don't have the heart to do this, but judging by your reaction just now, it's clear you don't want to study." Lycos sighed in mock frustration, "I didn't expect you to be so persevering. You'd rather be woken up at night than oversleep and miss your lessons..."

"I didn't!" Draco almost jumped up.

He leaned close to Lekos and kept muttering, "Lekos... No, Boss, I have been your most loyal little brother since the beginning of the school year. Can you bear to let me not get a good night's sleep for the next six years?"

"I don't think so." Lycos shook his head. "You were about to hit me just now."

"I was just... just joking!" Draco hastily assured, "The dormitory was too quiet just now. I thought I should liven up the atmosphere..."

The two of them argued in the dormitory for a long time.

In the end, Draco agreed to bring meals to Lecos in the coming semester and to lend Lecos a house-elf when necessary, and only then did he finally get a spell from Lecos.

Muffliato.

This spell fills the space around the caster with an unidentifiable humming sound, allowing conversation to proceed without being overheard.

For Draco, this humming sound can be used as white noise to help him sleep, canceling out the thunderous snoring of Crabbe and Goyle, so that he can get a good night's sleep.

……

In the blink of an eye, a week passed.

In his spare time besides attending classes, Lycos spent most of his time in the Room of Requirement, practicing the Sharp Edge Spell.

As a black magic with extremely powerful destructive power, although Lecos's talent in black magic allowed him to understand how to cast and use it the first time he saw it, continuous practice is still needed to truly master its use.

He found a room in the Room of Requirement with many alchemical dolls that he could use to practice various spells.

During this period, Lycos seemed to have completely forgotten about Tom Riddle's diary and immersed himself in practicing magic all day long.

It wasn't until the first weekend of school that Tom Riddle finally lost his patience...

……

Chapter 130 The Diary That Was Tricked

"Sectumsempra!"

Lycos was facing the alchemical doll and casting an invisible blade of light.

It was as if an invisible sword blade shot out from the tip of Lycos's wand and flew rapidly towards the alchemy puppet in the distance.

The puppet fell heavily backwards, and a deep cut appeared on the metal shell, almost revealing its internal structure.

"It's quite lethal indeed." Lycos walked up to the puppet and carefully examined the wounds inflicted by his spell. "When the Unforgivable Curses aren't suitable, using Divine Sharpness and Shadowlessness can be a good way to deal with them, but its greater use is..."

He swung out several consecutive invisible sword strikes, splitting a nearby wooden board into pieces.

"It can be used as an enhanced version of the Slicing Charm, and it's one less spell to learn!"

Lycos was satisfied.

As a young wizard with a severely limited talent for magic, Lycos had to practice repeatedly to learn ordinary spells, and the results were not always good...

But if it comes to black magic with similar effects, he can use it skillfully and easily.

With this in mind, Lycos casually used a few weakened versions of the Divine Sword and carved a simple outline of a cartoon owl on another piece of wood with exquisite techniques.

Just as he was about to continue practicing other spells, there was a sudden vibration in the snakeskin wallet in his school robe pocket.

Lycos frowned.

He had never encountered such a situation since he got the wallet with the invisible extension charm cast on it.

Could it be that there was something wrong with the traceless extension charm on the wallet?

Lycos carefully cast a fire shield around himself, then used his wand to pry open the wallet and fling it aside, fearing that the traceless extension spell would malfunction and explode the contents of the wallet...

Fortunately, when the wallet was opened, the contents did not explode.

Moreover, the magical traces on the wallet are intact, and it seems that there is no problem with the Traceless Extension Spell.

Since it's not the Traceless Extension Charm that remains the same, what could have gone wrong?

The next moment, the answer automatically jumped out of the wallet -

From the open opening of the wallet, a tattered black notebook suddenly slipped out and landed on the floor of the Room of Requirement.

Lecos' eyes suddenly widened and he looked at the book in surprise.

There was clearly no wind in the room, but the black cover suddenly opened, revealing the yellowed paper inside.

"We need to talk."

A line of black handwriting appeared on the paper.

Obviously, this is Tom Riddle's Horcrux diary, and the vibration of the snakeskin wallet just now was also caused by this diary.

It's like Newt Scamander's old suitcase that carries magical beasts: some flexible magical beasts can move inside the container cast with the invisible extension spell, and even secretly open the lid from the inside.

Tom Riddle's Horcrux diary probably did the same thing; as long as it was shaken noticeably in the snakeskin wallet, it would affect the outside of the container's seamless extension.
