Chapter 143 The Theory of Fierce Fire

On Friday night, Moon and Professor Snape's reading work ended in failure again. The two rarely reached an agreement again: nine out of ten of these books are waste.

This result was actually quite beyond the two's expectations. According to their previous thoughts, even if these books did not record a lot of black magic, they probably contained some remarkable contents.But the problem is, when they carefully searched these books and notes, they found that the books that filled several bookshelves were almost all inexplicable useless ancient books. They either recorded the legends of the bad streets, or were filled with All kinds of magical knowledge that have long been outdated.

Moreover, there are no signatures on any books or notebooks.

After spending many nights picking and picking, these two people finally picked out a few books that did not belong to the above-mentioned contents.

An ancient handwritten book "The Thousand-Year Curse" without an author or publisher, a "Secret Talk at the Stone Circle" compiled 200 years ago, and three notebooks belonging to unknown persons - the handwriting on each of them is unknown. same.

So far, they have roughly read through all the books. Of course, in addition to working together two nights a week, they will each take away some books in private to browse through them and confirm the content, instead of reading every book. Read it from beginning to end, otherwise the two of them would not be able to finish reading these books even if they go there next year.

Professor Snape frowned tightly and looked at Moon suspiciously, "Are you sure you haven't seen any books about the Dream Weaver Curse, nor any suspicious pages that seem to contain the Dream Weaver Curse?"

His suspicion was not directed at Munn. No matter how suspicious Snape was, he would not suspect that Munn might have secretly hidden this book containing the Dreamweaver Curse—unless this bastard named Moon Fox was kidnapped. , for Snape, this is more like a good thing.

Because that means he finally has a legitimate reason to rip off Moon Fox's head.

"Yes, of course, I have only roughly browsed through these books, so I can't guarantee that I really didn't miss them." Moon helplessly looked at the five books placed between the two of them, and also felt a little dizzy.

The possibility of omission is actually not very high. The page recording the contents of the handwriting will be very obvious if it is sandwiched in a printed book; and there are not many notebooks in these books, and he has all the notebooks he took away. It was turned over more seriously.

So, why did a book suddenly disappear?

Could it be possible that Jacob Saul really chewed it up and swallowed it in his stomach?

"Read these books first." Professor Snape waved his sleeves and divided the five books on the floor into two parts. Moon got the "Conversations at Stonehenge" and one of the three notebooks. "If none of these five books is useful, then go back and screen again."

Moon responded and stuffed the two books into his bag.

"When you came here last time, you said you wanted to learn the Fire Curse. I asked you to go back and think about a reason. Now you can answer me." After Moon put away the book, Professor Snape was as usual He pulled out the blackboard and asked Moon in a cold voice.

The real reason why Moon wanted to learn the Fire Curse was very simple - it was a rare spell that could directly destroy Horcruxes. After learning the Fire Curse, he no longer needed to think of ways to get the basilisk's fangs [ Note 1].

In addition, Professor Snape's statement that "Mun wants to learn the Fire Curse" does not actually mean that Moon wants to learn it right now. This statement comes from the last time the two of them talked about dark magic, Professor Snape said to him Moon asked about his current knowledge of black magic and whether there were any black magic that he was particularly interested in. Moon mentioned the Fire Curse at that time and said that this is the black magic he currently wants to learn, so Si Professor Nepp asked him to go back and think about the reasons in detail.

In fact, the implication of "go back and think about the reasons carefully" is that he does not think that starting with the Lihuo Curse is a good start.

"Well... I also checked some relevant information after I returned. Indeed, Li Huo, as a black magic flame with a powerful curse, is extremely powerful and difficult to tame and control. In addition to the need to control the curse, Li Huo also requires the user to have a strong self-will to make it use its arms and fingers. I even found some wizards who had the ability to control Li Huo, and used Li Huo when they were weak. Curse, but ultimately died tragically under the fierce fire he summoned."

Moon organized his words and continued: "I think you probably mean the same thing. Magic like the Fire Curse is not suitable for a person who is just starting to dabble in black magic to learn, because it is very likely to cause fire and self-immolation."

Professor Snape did not respond, but continued to look at Moon - he could see that Moon still had something to say.

"I think your idea is correct, but it is not absolute. If you start to contact black magic from the Fire Curse, it may not be completely useless, but it has mixed advantages and disadvantages. In addition to being easy to backfire on the user, the Fire Curse itself The requirements for the caster's magic power are very low, and it does not require the caster to have any extreme negative emotions. Instead, it requires a huge amount of the caster's personal will. Therefore, if you can get help from another person who has the ability to control Li Fire, If you learn it next time, the Fierce Fire Curse is a black magic that is quite suitable for beginners, and it may even be used to sharpen the will of the caster."

-

[Note 1] In the original "Harry Potter" series, the known ways to destroy Horcruxes include the basilisk's fangs, Gryffindor's sword, the Fire Curse, and the Killing Curse (Avada Kedavra).In fact, in order to destroy a Horcrux, it is important that the Horcrux protected by the spell cannot be restored by any means and is completely damaged.Among these four things, two are more special——

One is Gryffindor's sword. Gryffindor's sword itself does not have the ability to destroy Horcruxes. Its ability to destroy Horcruxes comes from the venom of the Basilisk.In "Chamber of Secrets", Gryffindor's sword is contaminated with the venom of the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets, and has the ability to destroy Horcruxes ever since;

The second is the Killing Curse. The Killing Curse destroyed the two pieces of Voldemort's soul fragments in Voldemort and Harry Potter. In fact, this was because the Killing Curse "killed" the carrier of the soul fragments. In other words, the Killing Curse could only destroy Horcruxes made of living creatures (in addition, these two killing curses were both written by Voldemort, so it is likely that they are also part of the reason for Voldemort's great strength).

Chapter 144: The Theory of Li Huo Completed

"Two mistakes." Professor Snape snorted and traced the writing on the blackboard with his wand.

"First of all, if a beginner starts learning the Fire Curse, what awaits him is not 'likely' to set himself on fire, but 'definitely' going to set him on fire."

He swiped his wand through the air, and there was a faint flash of extremely bright fire, mixed with sharp cries and screams.

"Secondly, even if, like you said, you learn with the help of someone who has the ability to control the Fire, the Fire Curse will not sharpen your will - this is simply whimsical. What do you think black magic is? A toy? Professors Assignments and homework assigned to you? Hum, don’t bring your arrogance to your views on things, Moon Fox. Remember, black magic is black magic, and people who don’t have enough will will not be affected by how many times they have been cast. The next time you curse the severe fire, you will become strong-willed. On the contrary, under the devastation of the severe fire, even if you are lucky enough to be rescued from the severe fire, your will will almost only be completely defeated."

Moon automatically blocked out the "killing people" part of Professor Snape's words, and looked thoughtfully at the two lines of writing left on the blackboard: "You mean, Li Huo's requirement for the will of the caster." It is not a 'standard line'. If you reach it, you can control it. If you don't reach it, you will fail. It is a continuous struggle. In the process of releasing Li Huo, the caster must be able to restrain Li Huo's will. Only in order to fully control Li Huo, once Li Huo's will takes over, the caster will suffer backlash?"

He understood what Professor Snape meant, and because of this he was even more curious.When I read the novel in my previous life, it only mentioned that the fierce fire released by Crabbe lost control, so that Crabbe was eventually killed in the sea of ​​​​fire, but it did not mention that Crabbe suffered the backlash of the spell.

And the two are not exactly the same.

"Finally, you have some brains. You are not completely stupid. However, it is still not completely correct." Professor Snape left two circles on the blackboard. "Fire is a magical flame that contains a powerful curse. It is terrifying. The power comes from its curse power. After you release the fierce fire, three possible situations will occur."

"The first is that you have enough self-esteem and strong enough willpower to allow you to control the curse power contained in the Lihuo, curb the Lihuo's desire to spread crazily, and make it completely subject to your control."

"The second type is that you don't have this kind of willpower, but you still want to control the cursed power contained in the fierce fire. At this time, the fierce fire will backfire on your will, break away from your control, and destroy everything it comes into contact with. Swallowing everything that comes, it will also burn out and destroy your will.”

"The third type is even more stupid. Because you don't have the corresponding willpower, you completely give up control of the Lihuo. In this case, the Lihuo will not backfire on your will, but at the same time it will completely It becomes a wildfire that spreads uncontrollably until it burns down everything that can be burned.”

"In other words, there is no standard line, and there is no struggle. Either you can control it, or you have control but can't control it, or you don't control it at all. No matter which one, there is no 'standard' or "standard" as you call it. 'Struggle', the only difference is whether you want to try to control the power of the curse in the fierce fire."

When he first heard these words, Moon was filled with doubts. Either he could control it or he couldn't. Isn't this a standard line?And assuming that this standard line will float or continue to grow, isn't it a continuous struggle?But soon, Moon figured out what Professor Snape meant——

"Oh, I understand." The young man's eyes lit up. "That is to say, when Li Huo is released, as long as the caster wants to control Li Huo, there will only be two situations. One is the caster. The will of Li Huo has the absolute upper hand, and the curse of Li Huo has the absolute upper hand. There is no 'buffer zone' left for both parties. There is only one party that is absolutely big and the other is absolutely small. It is not a quantifiable, like If the numbers are the same, there will be a tie. As long as your will is not firm at all when casting the spell, the curse of Lihuo will bite you back at the moment you cast the spell. In other words, it does not require your will. No matter how powerful your force is, it requires your will to be consistent and indestructible. That’s why you said there is no standard line and it is not a struggle.”

"Huh." Professor Snape raised his eyebrows slightly and did not answer directly, but it was obvious that Moon was right.

"So." After a pause for Moon to digest, Professor Snape continued: "Li Huo is completely unsuitable for ignorant people who have never been exposed to black magic, because these people often do not understand that black magic Magic is by no means just a house-playing game. When using truly terrifying black magic, any slight lack of firmness in your belief will lead to a huge disaster. Even if you have never thought about controlling it. The third type is that after inflicting disaster many times, disaster will befall you sooner or later - by then, only luck can control everything."

"And now, you can try to learn Li Huo."

? ? ? ? ?

In the blink of an eye, Moon's face was filled with question marks.

What?What did you say?Is this something I can learn now?Really?Is it really possible?

Professor, don't scare me. No matter what you say, I'm only in my second year.

It’s not that Moon thinks he can’t learn the Fire Curse. To be honest, even Rabb in the original book can learn the Fire Curse. If he simply learns to release it, he will definitely not be able to do it. questionable.And in terms of willpower, he didn't think he would be firm enough.

If he had not been strong-willed enough, it would not have been Forest Dempsey who died in the last moments at St. Mungo's, but himself.

But the problem is, if he teaches this second-year student the Fire Curse, will Professor Dumbledore really not hang Professor Snape on the Whomping Willow?Would the Ministry of Magic really not pack them both up and send them to Azkaban?

really?I do not believe.

Professor Snape looked at Munn's stupid look and laughed happily, "Huh, idiot, I mean you can try to learn Li Huo. It means you have achieved the first step of learning Li Huo." Conditions, understand the true nature of Li Huo, not that I want to teach you Li Huo - don't be wild, that's not what you are qualified to get involved in now."

Good guy, why are you teasing me with your feelings here?

[Note] In the discussion about Li Huo in these two chapters, many of the narrative parts are original works of the author. The characteristics of Li Huo are not explained in such detail in the original work. It is regarded as a magic with many doubts. Please pay attention to it.

Chapter 145: Fire Citrus Candy and "Dogsled"

On December 12, a sudden rainstorm completely extinguished the fire of victory burning in the hearts of Hufflepuff's little wizards.

The balloon made by Arlin and the others couldn't float at all in the heavy rain, and they could only be held up by using magic wands. The Hufflepuff badger playing with the golden snitch on it was also listless - partly because of the heavy rain, On the other hand, it was because of the undeniable decline of the Hufflepuff Quidditch team.

It stands to reason that this year's Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw teams are still the same, so the form on the field should be as back-and-forth as always, but right now, it is completely Ravenclaw on the field. In the fight against Hufflepuff, the little wizards of Badger Court could not even see the slightest glimmer of victory.

But who can blame this?The Seeker and Keeper were all suffering from severe colds, and one of the two Batsmen was unwell and on the verge of illness.Moreover, only the batter and chaser of the Hufflepuff team have substitutes this year, and the seeker and goalkeeper are all playing sick.It would be fine if it was a sunny day, but playing in a heavy rainstorm is really exhausting. The little wizards in the stands could see clearly that their Seeker was swaying left and right on his broomstick, and he didn't even fall off. The technology is already considered to be hard enough.

In Carson Burr's hoarse commentary (he had to do so because the rain was too loud), Ravenclaw won the game as expected.The little wizards of Hufflepuff worked hard to cheer up the team members of their own house, but they were still dejected after losing the game - their hard work cannot be said, but if they lose, they lose.

This feeling of defeat could not be completely calmed down until the players returned to the Hufflepuff common room. They were holding hot soup from the kitchen that people from the same house had ordered from the kitchen, and they still fought against the defeated rooster. He was equally haggard, with his head lowered, sitting on the sofa without saying a word.

Arlin wanted to go up to comfort them, but Cedric reached out to stop him, pulled him aside, and whispered: "Forget it, let them be quiet for a while. Even if you go to comfort them now, it won't be of much help." of."

"Alas..." Yaerin looked at Cedric, then at the players, and finally had no choice but to respond listlessly, then ran to the fireplace and stared at the fire in a daze.

Perhaps, for the members of the Hufflepuff Quidditch team, the only good news is that all subsequent games will be in February next year, and they finally have time to take a good rest.

…………

After the heavy rain, the weather outside was like a gust of wind, and snowflakes began to fly again. The snowflakes fell into small pieces and merged with the accumulated water when they fell to the ground.At night, the temperature began to drop sharply. There is no doubt that when you wake up tomorrow morning, the ground outside will definitely become very dangerous.

"It has obviously snowed several times, but suddenly there was such a heavy rain, and it started snowing again at night..." Gal huddled in the quilt, holding a lollipop in his mouth, and a stream of water came out from his ears from time to time. Steam "is so annoying. What the hell is the weather? Fortunately, tomorrow is Sunday, otherwise I will freeze to death."

Several roommates nodded in agreement. Cedric glanced at Gal and asked curiously: "Hey, what are you eating?"

"Fire Citrus Candy - I just asked you if you wanted to eat." Gal rolled his eyes, grabbed two handfuls from his bedside table, and threw them on the beds of his three roommates respectively. "A new product from the Plush Bubble Candy Store. My body will feel hot after eating it, so I plan to spend the winter with this thing."

Arlin peeled off the candy wrapper doubtfully and stuffed the lollipop into his mouth. The next second, a stream of steam came out from his nostrils, startling him and making him jump out of bed. come out.

While Cedric laughed at Arlin, he took one himself, and then his expression became quite wonderful - what was puzzling was that there was no steam coming out of his nostrils or ears.

Before Moon could ask, Gal laughed loudly and shouted: "When I ordered it, I heard Gryffindor Li say that the steam from this candy sometimes comes out of his butt, but I didn't expect it to be true. "

Cedric's face suddenly turned red, and he didn't know whether it was from embarrassment or from being suffocated by the steam. In short, he quickly picked up a pillow and rushed towards Gal.

"Hey, hey, hey! I gave you candy and you hit me! Why are you going to grudge me with enmity - uh uh uh! Buying life! Buying um! Uh--!!!~~~"

When masters fight, the outcome can be determined in seconds, but in the blink of an eye, Gal has been beaten by Cedric with a pillow and runs away. He even imitates an ostrich and stuffs his head under the pillow, revealing himself. Most of his back was outside, letting Cedric bombard him with pillows.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when no one was paying attention to him, Moon quietly touched himself and stuffed one of these flaming citrus candies into his mouth.

Well, fortunately, it came out of the ears and eyes.

He smacked the candy with a smile and enjoyed the "fight of the century" between Gal and Cedric with Arlin.

…………

As we all know, human beings are very fond of "talking about the integrity of the body" - Gal, who was still complaining about the unpleasant weather last night, excitedly pulled Munn, Cedric and Yar along early the next morning. Lin rushed outside the castle.

Just as Moon thought last night, the water on the ground mixed with the falling snow, coupled with the sudden drop in temperature, many places on the large field outside the castle were covered with ice, making it extremely slippery.When Gal got up in the morning and went to the bathroom, he happened to see a few people who had gotten up early outside and were skating on the ice. Then he got excited and pulled his three roommates out of bed to go skating outside.[ Note 1].

Not only was Garlin dissatisfied with his integrity, but so were Arlin and Cedric. Five minutes ago, the two people who just came out of the common room were full of complaints, and now, they are playing even crazier than Gal, and they have even learned to slide with their belly without any teacher - Moon advised everyone I can't help it.

What can Moon do?These three people were playing like wild dogs on the loose, and it looked like they were completely having fun.

In desperation, Moon had no choice but to join them.

It's slippery, it's not shabby.

He even gave a few people a new way to play. They found a robe to put under their buttocks, and they could be pulled in front of them to slide forward.

Gal dragged Yaerin back and forth several times before he finally realized what he was doing - why was this game so much like dog sledding?

-

[Note 1] Skateboarding, a Northeastern colloquial word, means skating on the ice by using the inertia of forward motion. Many people do this in places where ice will freeze in winter. Here we just use the Northeastern name.

1Chapter 16 Breakfast

Of course, the idea of ​​"dog sledding" only flashed through Gal's mind, and then he completely forgot about it.

Just pull it, it’s not like Yaerlin didn’t drag him running on the ice╰(*′︶`*)╯.

After figuring this out, Gal quickly pulled his roommates and ran wildly without hesitation.

…………

We probably played for a while, but no one looked at the time anyway. Seeing more and more people outside, Moon and the four of them were almost going crazy. After a few words of discussion, everyone gave up going back to the common room, and instead Went straight to Hagrid's hut.

Fingers crossed, more than a week had passed and I had to check on Hagrid's condition.

In fact, they had thought about going on Thursday, but after thinking about it, they still thought it was best to wait until the weekend.After all, Hagrid's appearance at that time really shocked everyone. Everyone was afraid that Hagrid was almost calm at first, but when he saw them and remembered his previous drunken appearance, he lost control of his emotions.

Hagrid looks tall and rugged, but in some aspects, he is much more emotional than many young wizards.

The four of them hurriedly arrived outside Hagrid's hut. Before they could knock on the door, Hagrid opened the door and walked out of the hut.

There was no smell of alcohol, no staggering steps, and no eyes as swollen as peaches—it seemed like Hagrid had really regained his composure.

"Ah, why did you guys suddenly come over here?" Hagrid scratched his head in embarrassment. It seemed that he still had some memories of what happened that day. Of course, it was possible that Professor Dumbledore secretly told him later.

"It's okay, we just want to come and see you." Moon spoke first, in case some of his roommates couldn't think about it and had to mention Hagrid's drunkenness a few days ago. "Are you going to ...?"

"No, I came out to get some potatoes." Hagrid rubbed his hands. "I didn't expect you to get up so early on weekends. Come on in and sit down. I've already lit the fire. It'll be warm inside."

As the four of them filed in, they laughed and said, "It's not a good thing that Gal did. He woke us up early in the morning to go skating on the ice."

Hagrid looked at the backs of the four people walking towards the hut, and a warmth inevitably rose in his heart. He took out about twenty potatoes from a cloth bag next to him, and carried a large piece of frozen meat. Walking into the house, he laughed and said: "Ha, I asked you why you are all covered in snow. It turns out you were just playing crazy outside."

"Yes, yes, it's all my fault." Gal made a face at his three roommates, and stepped forward to take the meat from Hagrid's hand. "Anyway, we just came over to see you, so let's have a look." Have breakfast.”

Hagrid put the potatoes in his hand on the table, then pulled up a chair and sat down, picked up the knife and started to cut the meat.Gal turned over the big bucket and pushed it in front of Munn. Munn understood and couldn't help laughing, and released a shot of water like a spring for Garl to wash the potatoes.

"I heard that your college lost the Quidditch match yesterday?" Hagrid asked casually while chopping the meat until it made a 'dong-dong' sound: "I went to the Forbidden Forest yesterday and didn't have time to rush over to watch the game. "

"We lost. Two people in the team were sick and couldn't bear to play in the heavy rain." When mentioning this matter, Cedric and Gal still looked disappointed. "Otherwise, maybe Can win.”

"It's okay, it's just a game. There's still hope for a comeback later, right?" Hagrid comforted the two of them and stabbed them down again. The table leg let out a scream, which stunned everyone.
