Hogwarts: Dumbledore reigned over the wizarding world

Chapter 32 Magic Learning
Three weeks later, the Room of Requirement.

This is a comfortable, study-style room.

The two rows of bookshelves on the left and right were filled with various books and notes - none of them were of much value, and seemed to be extracurricular books left behind by previous students.

Opposite the door stood a floor-to-ceiling window. Outside the window, magic simulated a violent storm. Against this backdrop, the room, covered with expensive wool carpets and with a fire blazing in the fireplace, seemed particularly warm and cozy.

Sitting on the soft sofa, Vaughn closed the book in his hand and rubbed his eyes.

"system!"

【Reputation Points: 22】

Looking at the changes in the magic scale and fame points, Vaughn suddenly realized.

A month has passed!
Ever since he got Snape's permission to borrow advanced books from the restricted section, he had been staying in the Room of Requirement except for classes these days.

After painstaking study until now, it has finally come to an end.

Vaughn dropped the book, took a long breath, shook his head which was dizzy from long-term concentration, and looked at the system panel.

The hints of newly added spells and potions suddenly made his quiet heart happy.

They were things that he had not been able to access in the past few years no matter how hard he tried. Even for the relatively common spells such as the Shattering Spell and the Oblivion Spell, there was a lack of learning channels on the market.

Because they are spells that are restricted by the Ministry of Magic. Unless they are from a formal school like Hogwarts, where students are registered and recorded by the Ministry of Magic, wild wizards have no chance of learning them.

There are many wild wizards in the magical world. They may have been bitten since childhood and turned into werewolves, vampires, etc., or they may be dark wizards without identity who have fled from foreign countries.

Not all dark wizards are as "high-end" as Death Eaters. There are also many who commit petty thieves and operate in the gray area.

What Vaughan didn't expect was that Snape actually approved him to borrow a book on dark magic.

The book "An Introduction to the Dark Arts" mostly contains some simple poison spells and curses, but at the end of the book, someone added a page of handwritten content.

It records the "Invisible Divine Sword" and the solution spell "Quick Healing", as well as the Fierce Fire Curse!

Vaughn knew who had added it without having to think.

As expected, he was a former Death Eater and had no taboos about the dark arts.

Of course, the other party didn't dare to be so bold as to ask Vaughn to learn the Unforgivable Curse right now.

But Vaughan was already very satisfied. If it weren't for Snape's help, it would probably take him 4 or 5 years to learn these spells.

As for black magic, maybe I can only learn from those wild wizards and go to Knockturn Alley or the black market to find people from the underworld to get it.

There would be too many accidents like that. The underground world is full of scammers and villains. It's okay if you get cheated of your money, but you're afraid that there will be black wizards who want to rob you.

After staring at the system panel for a while, the brief excitement wore off, and Vaughn pressed his forehead:

"There are too many new spells. If I practice on my own, it will take a long time. The best way is to use reputation points to upgrade one or two levels first, until you reach the entry-level or proficient level, and then practice on your own."

"22 reputation points isn't enough... We need to open up the source!"

With that thought in mind, Vaughn no longer hesitated and invested all his points into the "Scarpin Manifestation Charm," raising it to LV2 (10/16) in one go. This spell would greatly help him develop potions, and potions would help him increase his income and improve his reputation points each month.

While you are still in school, it is undoubtedly most effective to invest all your reputation points in it.

After adding the ingredients, Vaughn took out a bottle of scabies potion, poured it into the cup, and gently waved his wand. He skillfully uttered the spell, as if he had practiced it a thousand times:

"Revelaspell!"

His vision suddenly changed, and the cup of potion in his eyes emitted light!

Various colors float on the surface of the light, mixed together, yet extremely clear and distinct.

Vaughn suddenly had a feeling that this cup of potion, which had already formed, could be disassembled by him!
Then he waved his wand again—

The blue potion in the cup immediately split into several clumps under a mysterious force, and their colors changed rapidly, starting from pure blue and gradually returning to the colors of materials such as venomous snake teeth and dry nettles.

The rituals that led to the formation of the potion were destroyed by the spell, and then under the influence of the spell, they tried to restore them to their original state.

Vaughan observed for a moment, then poured out the cup of scabies medicine.

It was useless now; the Scarpin Apparition Charm could only restore the potion, not reconstitute it.

"What a magical spell! I wonder how that wizard named Scapin developed it?"

"It's a pity that he has been dead for a long time, and his ashes may be lost..."

After another cleanup and getting rid of the trash, Vaughn stretched and prepared to go back to the dormitory for sleep.

Starting tomorrow, he will start making and developing potions.

He already has some ideas in this regard and is ready to make a big splash!
Then, when he walked out of the Room of Requirement, he met Dumbledore...

The greatest white wizard of this century, dressed in a pink and purple robe and a childish nightcap on his head, stood in the corridor on the eighth floor, pretending to meet him by chance.

"Ah - Mr. Vaughan Weasley, good evening, are you using the toilet too?"

"...?"

Vaughn was stunned.

Dumbledore continued with a smile, "So you've discovered this place too! How amazing! I've been at Hogwarts for hundreds of years and have walked this path countless times. Until one day, when I needed to use the restroom urgently, a room suddenly appeared on this wall. It was filled with all the toilets I loved. Thanks to Merlin, this place has become my favorite ever since!"

This old guy is playing dumb again...

Vaughn quickly realized what was happening and, with a smile on his face, he saluted and said, "What a magical room. It's a pity I'm not here to use the bathroom. I'm still young and don't need it at night, Headmaster Dumbledore."

Dumbledore seemed not to notice the book he was holding. He smiled and said, "Yes, I am very old after all. I can't compare with young people, but I still think you should try it when you have time."

Vaughn shrugged. "I probably won't be here anytime soon."

"Oh why?"

"I've almost finished reading the book. I'm going to start developing potions and perfecting my theories. I'm sorry to disappoint you, Headmaster."

"Severus has been praising you in front of me, Slytherin's Potions genius."

Vaughan smiled: "It's all thanks to Professor Snape and your kindness. It's getting late, Headmaster. I need to go back and rest. Good night."

"Goodnight Mr. Weasley."

Two foxes, one big and one small, greeted each other and said goodbye, as if everything was just a chance encounter and ordinary chat.
