Hogwarts: What bad intentions could the little badger have?

"He also asked me to sit down, as if he thought that if I raised my hand to answer questions, it would hinder him from finding fault with Harry."

Black smiled and said, "You're right, Hermione."

"He just wanted to pick a fight with Harry. The way he looked at Harry didn't seem to indicate he hated him."

"It's no exaggeration to say that I hate it."

"While you are eating, you can pay attention to the way Snape looks at Harry."

Cassandra said in disbelief: "No way, he's a professor."

"Besides, what reason does he have to dislike...er, or hate Harry Potter?"

Blake shook his head. "Who knows? Anyway, there is no hatred without reason."

"Maybe... maybe he was bullied by Harry's father when he was in school."

Black saw that Hermione still looked unhappy.

"Hermione, when you take Snape's class next time, don't think of it the same way as other professors."

"Answer the questions proactively. If Snape hates Gryffindor, it will be hard for him to give you extra points."

"Not only is it difficult to add points, but he can also easily seize the opportunity to deduct points."

"Anyway, I don't plan to score points with him."

Hermione sighed, she felt the same way.

"Okay...I won't raise my hand in his class anymore."

Cassandra said nothing about this either.

Because even though Snape was the Head of Slytherin.

She also felt that he was not as fair as Professor McGonagall.

"Have you been in the Room of Requirement all morning?"

Blake nodded.

"Yes, because alchemy requires some knowledge of ancient runes."

“So I did a little research on ancient runes.”

Cassandra and Hermione looked at the ancient runic books scattered on the floor.

"Is this what you meant by, research it a little?"

"Did you misunderstand the word 'slightly'?"

Blake said nonchalantly, "I did a little research. I only read these books once."

"Oh...if I just flipped through it..."

"It wouldn't make much sense if you just read it once. There are many things in the ancient runes that need to be memorized by rote."

Cassandra knew a little about ancient runes.

Blake said, "Yes, it is. There are many that are magical, but there are also many that are not magical."

“I only figured this out after I finished reading these books.”

"But...I found something interesting."

"Those are some ancient runes that have magic and some ancient runes that don't have magic."

"Once they unite, they can multiply the power of that magical ancient rune!"

Blake's bright eyes suddenly dimmed.

"It's a pity that the magical ancient runes, even the most basic ones, exude power that cannot be carried by ordinary things."

An ancient rune representing "fire".

I can’t find the materials to seal it for the time being.

Not to mention other ancient runes that enhance the power of the word "fire".

Cassandra and Hermione were confused and had no idea what Black meant.

"Wait... isn't ancient runes just a script used to translate ancient texts?"

"What did you just say about having magic power?"

Blake shook his head. "You are wrong, Cassandra. Ancient runes were widely used in alchemy."

"This shows that ancient runes are not just ordinary ancient characters. They are truly magical."

"If you don't believe me, look..."

Blake pulled out another piece of parchment he had cut earlier.

Then he picked up a pen and wrote an ancient rune on it.

"Take it."

Cassandra held the parchment.

"and then?"

"Input magic power."

"Uh...how do I input magic power?" Cassandra asked puzzledly.

Blake scratched his head, and then he remembered.

Nowadays, wizards only use wands to cast spells...

Few people directly infuse magic into other objects.

Except for the alchemist in The Witcher.

So it's not surprising that Cassandra didn't know.

"Well...you hold the parchment and imagine it's your wand."

"You should remember what it feels like when you cast a spell with a wand."

"Now apply that feeling to this parchment."

Cassandra nodded.

"When casting a spell with a wand, you must first concentrate... focus your attention on the wand, oh... now on the parchment, and then chant the spell."

Cassandra just focused on the parchment.

I didn't have time to think of what spell to use.

"Stab!"

The parchment actually started burning!

"ah!"

Cassandra dropped the burning parchment in fear.

Watch in amazement as it burns to ashes.

Black once again silently accepted the two silver treasure chests contributed by Cassandra and Hermione.

Then he explained: "See, when you focus on this parchment, you infuse your magic into it."

"If it were normal, nothing would happen."

"But... that ancient rune means 'fire'. Once activated by your magic, it will naturally burn immediately."

"So... all books containing ancient runes must have a spell cast on the cover to block magic."

"It's to prevent people from being too focused on reading the book and accidentally injecting magic into it, thereby detonating the ancient runes in the book."

Cassandra and Hermione looked at Black, shocked.

Hermione asked cautiously, "Detonate...detonate?"

They really didn't expect that ancient runes could have such power.

Blake smiled.

Then he said, "I originally studied ancient runes just to study alchemy."

"But I suddenly discovered that the interest of these ancient runes seems to be no less than that of alchemy."

Hermione and Cassandra both rolled their eyes.

You care about something that could explode at any time.

Called interesting?

"I have an idea..."

Blake ignored the two people's rolling eyes and expressed his idea of ​​turning the ancient runes into something similar to a magic scroll.

"But...what's the use of this?"

"If we want to use magic, can't we just chant the spell?"

Hermione was puzzled by this.

Blake said, "Well, what if you lose your wand? What if you can't do the spell?"

"Or what if there are too many enemies and you are outnumbered?"

Hermione and Cassandra were seen lost in thought.

So Blake continued, "If I succeed in making something similar to these 'magic scrolls', then... I only need to carry a part of them with me. I can perfectly solve these problems."

"As for how to carry them, we can make these scrolls smaller."

"Wizards can carry heavy currency like Galleons, so they can certainly carry a few self-defense scrolls with them."

Blake thought of taking it with him.

Then 2.7 couldn't help but bring his thoughts back to the materials that carried the ancient runes.

Parchment paper would have been the first choice.

The cost is low and you can get as much as you want.

But... it simply can't withstand the power.

Suddenly, he remembered the method he had just taught Cassandra to infuse magic.

"As a wand?"

“Hiss…yes!”

Blake left the two girls staring at each other.

Ran directly into the wooden house.

Soon.

Blake held out a large package.

This is morning breakfast time.

Sent by my own eagle owl.

Not his own eagle owl.

Other owls may not be able to lift it!

Blake opened the heavy package.

I saw a large piece of wood lying quietly in the package.

This is a large piece of walnut.

Originally, Black was planning to buy it to make a wand when he had nothing to do.

But now...

Seems like it has a better use!

Well known.

A wood that can be used to make wands.
