Hogwarts Raven's Claw

Chapter 80: The Curse of Death (Part )
PS: Please vote for recommendation

From the outside, this is just a very ordinary parchment, but Mike felt an ominous aura from it. Mike had felt this ominous aura before on the bookshelf dedicated to black magic in the forbidden area, but the aura on the parchment was much weaker than the aura on the black magic bookshelf. If Mike hadn't had a great increase in the strength of his magic perception after the adventure during the summer vacation, he probably wouldn't have felt it.

If Mike's guess was correct, this parchment must be related to black magic. Considering that this naughty kid, Thorfin, stole his family tree, it was not surprising that he stole the black magic recorded in the family.

Seeing that Mike seemed very interested in the parchment, Dolphin said hurriedly, "I stole this from my father's study. How is it? Is it valuable?"

"Huh? Your dad's study?" Mike asked doubtfully, "It should be hidden well, right?"

"No, this piece of parchment is placed in the drawer of my father's desk. He uses it as absorbent paper to prevent the tobacco from getting damp." Dolphin said.

Mike was a little disappointed when he heard this. A piece of parchment used to prevent tobacco from getting damp would not be a valuable thing. But holding on to the last glimmer of hope, Mike opened his magic perception vision and looked at the parchment.

Under the magical perception, Mike was surprised to find that some words gradually appeared on the parchment. These words looked completely different from the ordinary magical aura, a very ominous black color, and Mike could still see clearly with his high magical perception, and the black aura on the words was still dissipating.

Perhaps because it was too long ago, the handwriting on the parchment was very blurry. Mike squinted his eyes and carefully identified it for a long time before he could see the content of the first line of words clearly.

This is a language that Mike has never seen before. Although the main body is still English letters, the arrangement and combination are completely different from the English used by modern people. But the strange thing is that although Mike does not recognize these words, the meaning of these words appears in his mind by itself.

The Curse of Death-Avada Eats Big Melon
It says so.

Mike felt the hairs all over his body stand up, this surprise was too great. But he was not completely overwhelmed by joy, and began to look down quickly, he was very worried about whether the contents of this parchment were well preserved.

Fortunately, although this parchment had suffered a lot of damage such as blisters and rat bites, the part that recorded the method of releasing the Killing Curse was still relatively intact. At least Mike could still recognize the meaning of the words on it when he used all his strength to perceive it.

Mai quickly took out a pen and notebook from the Traceless Extension Spell bag and copied down the contents of the parchment. However, since the contents were all written in an unknown language, when Mike wrote down the meaning that automatically emerged in his mind, there were many problems with the words not expressing the meaning.

After copying it several times, Mike finally gave up this useless behavior. Learning magic is a rigorous behavior, and any deviation may lead to the failure of casting the spell. Especially for black magic, if the release fails and causes backlash, it will cause serious harm to the caster.

Carefully putting the parchment into the bag cast by the Traceless Extension Spell, Mike waved his wand and poured out all the remaining contents in the cloth bag. Since the writing on this parchment could appear under the perception of magic, then were the garbage here also special?

Sure enough, in Mike's magical perception, there were a few items in the pile of garbage that were faintly emitting magical light.

But when Mike took out these items one by one, he was disappointed to find that most of these items were also parchments, and they were tattered by rats, making it impossible to recognize the contents on them.

"Do you have any more of this kind of parchment?" Mike asked Dolphin with the last glimmer of hope. "No...no, these parchments are all we have. Are you...are you satisfied?"

Mike exhaled deeply, threw a cloth bag full of gold Galleons to Dolphin and said, "There are 200 gold Galleons in it, take away the rest of this garbage."

Dolphin took the bag, his face smiling so much that his eyes were almost invisible, and he hurriedly put all the things on the floor in order and left Mike's dormitory.

Seeing that Thorfinn had left the dormitory, Mike waved his wand and released a warning spell at the dormitory door. After confirming again and again that the door was safe, he could not wait to look at the parchment.

I am indeed the chosen one. After disappearing for such a long time, the strong luck gold finger finally activated again. Knowing that I urgently need a powerful direct damage spell, I used this method to send the killing curse to myself. Although the contents of the other parchments are all unrecognizable, the killing curse is enough.

The green light in the forbidden forest last year has become a shadow in Mike's heart, often accompanied by an endless cold breath in his dreams. The reason why Mike risked being discovered and entered the restricted book area was largely due to his fear of the killing curse.

The more fear he had, the more he desired to possess this power. At this moment, Mike's hands holding the parchment were shaking unconsciously.

By the time Mike finished reading the contents of the parchment, it had already darkened outside. He had been reading for so long without realizing it.

Although he was starving, Mike's heart was burning with desire, and he had no desire to eat. After reading the parchment, Mike finally had a more detailed understanding of the Killing Curse.

The Killing Curse does not actually require a high level of magical power. A large number of adult wizards in the wizarding world can successfully cast it after a period of study.

Even with Mike's current magic power, he has already met the requirements for releasing the Killing Curse. This is the horror of the Killing Curse, which is incredibly lethal and easy to learn. No wonder the Ministry of Magic listed it as one of the three unforgivable curses. This kind of thing is like a gun. If it is not regulated, frequent shootings are inevitable. The wizarding world is sparsely populated and cannot withstand such a torment.

Compared to its requirements for magic, its requirements for emotions are actually more stringent.

The caster must have a strong desire to kill the other party in order to successfully release the Avada Kedavra curse. This was not too difficult for Mike, as he had killed countless people in his previous life, and his heart had long been hardened to stone.

After confirming that he was able to learn the Killing Curse, Mike rushed to the Room of Requirement. He couldn't wait to start the experiment.

However, what Mike didn't know was that when he walked through the Ravenclaw common room, a pair of light blue eyes as beautiful as lake water were silently watching him in the corner.
