Hogwarts Raven

Chapter 34: Bloodline Talent! Full Gift!

he came.

He left again.

Wave your sleeves.

All that was left was Ian, who had failed to learn new magic as he wished, a bag of new gold coins that had been taken out by some unknown reason, and a tidy living room with the mess cleaned up.

"Suppress your curiosity about the Dark Arts, and don't let me know that you're asking around the village for things you shouldn't be asking about. If I catch you trying to find someone to learn the Dark Arts from, you'll be doomed!"

Before leaving, Snape left a naked threat, perhaps because he was worried about the witch saints who had been active in the village recently, or perhaps he was worried that Ian would really be sent to Azkaban by someone else.

"I promise I won't ask!"

It was not known whether Ian's timid response satisfied Snape or not. Anyway, Snape certainly did not expect that the "control" effect of his threat on Ian would not last long.

Snape had just left.

Ian rushed into the toilet.

He opened the toilet tank in no time.

I saw.

"Secrets of Cutting-Edge Black Magic" wrapped in oilcloth lay quietly on the side of the water tank - since the big noise last night, Ian hid it in advance.

After all, with the crackling noise, a group of corpses came out, causing quite a stir.

Although he did not expect that the person he would bump into would be Snape, Ian was still worried and wary that the abnormal situation in the cabin might be noticed by other wizards.

after all.

Every day when he went out for a stroll and forage for food, Ian often heard the bar owner Rosmerta telling gossip about who in the village was fighting a wizard or multiple witches in the middle of the night.

Even that sound can be detected.

How could Ian not worry about the noise he made being discovered?

A lot of what he told Snape was true. For example, he was worried. He really didn't sleep the whole night because he was afraid that a wizard would come to his house.

In such an uneasy situation.

Of course, "The Secret of Cutting-Edge Black Magic" needs to be hidden.

at the begining of.

Actually, Ian wanted to smash the toilet, hide "Secrets of Cutting-Edge Black Magic" into a secret pipe, and then use the [Repair Spell] to restore the broken toilet to its original state without anyone noticing.

however.

He didn't do it after all.

Not only are people worried that "The Secrets of Cutting-Edge Black Magic" will be washed away, but also that the knowledge in "The Secrets of Cutting-Edge Black Magic" will be desecrated after being marinated with things that are indescribable to humans.

Ok.

The problem of knowledge being desecrated is not a big deal, but what is worrying is that one will be contaminated with this kind of blasphemy when learning knowledge... Ian does not want to be evaluated as "he smells like rice field" after entering school.

【Dung Wizard】

Just thinking about such a title is scary enough.

Therefore.

Ian made the next best choice.

It is actually very difficult to hide "The Secret of Cutting-Edge Black Magic" in the toilet tank.

Facts also proved that Snape had never expected that Ian would obtain such a comprehensive work on dark magic and hide it in a corner of the room.

With this textbook.

Why should he ask others about black magic?

"My baby~"

Ian just checked the sealing of the oilcloth, and then hid "Secrets of Cutting-Edge Black Magic" back again. He now has more important things to do than studying black magic.

……Yes.

Copy rented books.

This is what is more important.

Compared to the knowledge that he could continue to learn at any time, copying the seventh-grade Potions textbook in full was an urgent matter for Ian.

Teacher Mara is a good teacher, but she obviously doesn't look like a good wizard.

God knows if he fails to complete what he promised, will Teacher Mara continue to teach him more magic, or even let him experience the black magic himself?
Ian had not had much contact with the mysterious soul in this hazy fantasy, so he could not make an accurate judgment yet. In short, he would rather make "Xiao You" suffer more than he wanted to test.

Anyway, there is no use for "Xiao You" at this age.

It would be better to use it to copy at a desk.

“Swish, swish, swish~swish, swish, swish~”

In the quiet wooden house.

The friction between the quill and the notepad continued.

……

The ever-increasing proficiency now became Ian's motivation for writing - feather pens that could automatically transcribe texts were sold in the village, and after being "fed" again by Snape, Ian became wealthy again.

only.

Ever since he discovered last night that copying these textbooks could help him improve his [Potions Mastery] skill, Ian gave up the idea of ​​using "technology" out of laziness.

Studying can make your liver explode.

For Ian, it is a hobby. It is so pleasant to let knowledge flow through his mind as he writes and leave some traces of his presence.

"There were half-blood princes in ancient times, who knows, Hogwarts could produce another orphan prince!"

Ian felt that his talent in potions should not be bad.

after all.

Perhaps for most young wizards, once knowledge such as Potions enters their minds, it may even mean that other knowledge will be swept away when it flows out.

Just by relying on passive reading while copying, one can improve his proficiency. This level of talent is basically second only to Ian's somewhat unreasonable talent in black magic.

Ok.

so far.

Only his talent in white magic is a little lacking.

It also requires repeated practice several times before one can learn it. The interval time to increase proficiency when using it is about ten minutes longer than that of [Potion Mastery].

"If I can receive Dumbledore's guidance, perhaps I can make up for my lack of talent in white magic?" Ian was full of expectations and longing for his study life after school started.

what?
Dumbledore didn't teach magic?

nonexistent!

Can a great principal refuse a student’s eagerness to learn?
Thick skinned!
Only then can you really eat meat!

Even though Ian would occasionally get distracted when copying, his improvement in proficiency only slowed down the process. This might be the hidden talent in the Prince family's bloodline.

The feather pen touched the paper lightly, and the ink slowly solidified.

The sun is shining outside the window.

The only sound in the room was the rustling of pen tips touching paper, intertwined with the occasional sound of turning pages. The air was filled with the faint scent of ink and books.

Ian gradually became involved.

Focus.
