A magical journey that begins at Hogwarts

"My eyes look like my mother's."

Sirius nodded and rode his hippogriff into the night sky.

when!

The bell rings.

"We need to hurry, we must get back to the school hospital before we use the time converter," Aaron said urgently, and immediately led the two of them towards the school hospital.

They ran through the long corridors and up the spiral staircase, where they met Dumbledore closing the doors at the entrance to the school hospital.

"How is it?" Dumbledore looked up and smiled at the three of them.

"You know perfectly well why I'm asking this." Aaron rolled his eyes, wanting to complain to the old bastard, but he had to suppress the thought when he realized he couldn't beat him.

"Very good, go in quickly!"

Dumbledore readily opened the door and pushed the three of them inside.

"Why did you guys jump over there?" Ron asked, puzzled. "You were just here a moment ago."

"You explain!" Aaron feigned weakness as he lay down on an empty hospital bed. "I need to rest."

Harry and Hermione exchanged a glance and then told Ron about what had happened that evening.

......

The next day, the group walked out of the school hospital.

With the exams over, all the wizards in their third year and above went to Hogsmeade Village, leaving only the first and second year wizards in the castle, making it seem rather empty.

“We’re planning to go see Hagrid; he’ll be very happy today.” Hermione said with delight, then looked at Aaron, “Are you coming?”

"I won't go. I need to go see Professor Snape. I'm very interested in the spell he was going to use last night."

“Hagrid would be very grateful to you, and so would Abel,” Harry trailed off, “if he knew…”

"Absolutely not," Aaron hurriedly interrupted him. "You absolutely mustn't tell him. You know Hagrid; when he's drunk, he'll blurt out anything."

Harry:......

Arriving at Professor Snape's office, Aaron knocked on the door and went inside.

“Sit down!” Snape’s expression wasn’t good. “To be honest, I’m not in a good mood. They actually managed to rescue Sirius, especially since you even joined them.”

Dumbledore told me everything; you have evidence to save his life.

You don't need to save him; he has severe aggressive tendencies. Azkaban is more suitable for him.

"Uh... I have my reasons."

Professor, you should be more magnanimous. Sirius Black wronged you in the past, but he also served twelve years in prison for his enemy for no reason, which is enough punishment for him.

Moreover, he is still wanted by the Ministry of Magic, and he will have to live a life of wandering until the truth comes out.

"Hmph!" Snape snorted. "That's something that makes me feel better."

However, it's not much better, because with the severed finger and signature you provided, Cornelius Fudge is somewhat at a disadvantage in front of Dumbledore.

He agreed to remove the Dementors from Hogwarts and promised to gradually reduce the pursuit of Black.

In other words, even the Aurors at the Ministry of Magic would turn a blind eye to him; as long as he lived a low-key life, no one would bother him.

“That’s to be expected.” Aaron shrugged. “Twelve years in prison, that was something the Ministry of Magic owed him.”

"That's why Fudge is trying to reduce his influence. The pressure on the Ministry of Magic might lessen when the truth comes out," Snape said expressionlessly. "Alright, let's get back to the point. What did you want to see me about?"

“Professor,” Aaron said with a fawning smile, “I don’t recall ever hearing of the spell you used last night. You see…”

"Want to learn?"

Aaron nodded hastily.

"You really want to learn?" Snape raised an eyebrow. "I don't quite understand. Shouldn't your Gaius family have even more powerful magic at your disposal?"

“That’s different,” Aaron said seriously. “The reason why a trump card is called a trump card is because it cannot be easily revealed. I do know some forbidden magic, but I don’t use it casually.”

Therefore, I need some powerful magic, but one that ordinary wizards can handle.

He knows many spells, but powerful spells like Fiendish Flame, Guardian Angel, Dragon Slayer, and Elemental Magic are not suitable for everyday use.

Aside from these, his spell reserves are about the same as Hermione's. If he wants to add a layer of disguise to his combat power, he needs to learn something different.

Upon hearing this, Snape felt as if a million alpacas were galloping through his mind.

Could it be that the magic he painstakingly created is only slightly stronger than a normal attack for Aaron?

"Hold on!"

Although he felt a little heartbroken, Snape still took out a thick notebook from under the table.

"Besides the Divine Sword Shadowless Spell that I was going to use last night, there are also several spells that I invented and their corresponding methods of breaking the spells in here."

In addition, I also have my research findings on potions over the years.

Aaron carefully took the notebook, flipped through it briefly, and then looked at Snape with even greater respect.

While the knowledge contained here is far inferior to that of his ancestors and can only serve as a reference for him, it is undoubtedly a rare treasure for most potion masters.

"Professor, this is the culmination of your life's research. Aren't you worried about handing it over to me?" Aaron asked with amusement.

“It has to be passed down. You are my best student, and no one is more suitable than you,” Snape said earnestly.

"Thank you for your trust, Professor." Aaron waved the notebook in his hand. "Like I said, I won't let you down."

However, Professor, you are truly a genius. Please come visit me sometime; Gaius welcomes you anytime.

Snape smiled with satisfaction. "If there's a chance."

Aaron nodded, silently making a decision in his heart.

If Voldemort really makes a comeback, he can't control others, but he will definitely protect Professor Snape. He is a true mentor who is good to him, and he is completely different from Dumbledore.

After leaving Snape's office, Aaron took his notebook and returned to the Slytherin common room.

As soon as I stepped through the doorway, I heard Draco grumbling.

"That beast actually escaped; Hagrid must have secretly let it go."

However, there was some good news: Lupin couldn't stay any longer. We never imagined we'd been taught a lesson by werewolves for a year.

"What did you say?" Aaron asked, looking at him with some surprise. "Who told you that?"

“Professor Snape said so,” Draco said. “You’re only just finding out, are you?”

"I just found out." Aaron shook his head with a wry smile. It seemed that Professor Snape still held a grudge about what happened during his student days, but that was not incomprehensible.

Professor Lupin's main purpose in coming to Hogwarts to teach was to protect Harry Potter, and now that he has achieved his goal, whether he stays or not is no longer important.

He is, after all, a werewolf, and he already lost control once last night. Who can guarantee that he won't forget to drink the wolfsbane potion in the future? Even if he forgets it just once, Hogwarts will be in big trouble.

Chapter 329 Nija Mask, Creating Dark Magic Items

Shenming Palace.

Aaron brought Snape's notes into the main hall and placed them on a relatively empty bookshelf.

Abe flew over happily and affectionately nuzzled Aaron's hand.

The thought entity stopped training the magic circle, looked up at the notebook, and smiled helplessly, "Looks like I'll have to work overtime this summer."

"Forget it!" Aaron rolled his eyes. "How about we switch?"

"There's no need for that," the thought-provoking entity chuckled. Spending the summer at Hogwarts was a million times easier than spending it at home, so there was no need to even consider it.

Aaron pursed his lips, sat down in the chair, and eagerly opened the mission panel.

Help Harry Potter find the murderers who killed his parents; 500 magic points reward for completion; Completed.

Rescue Sirius Black; Quest reward: 800 Magic Points; Completed

Claim all rewards.

"Congratulations, host, you have gained 1300 magic points."

call!

Aaron breathed a sigh of relief, a smile of excitement spreading across his face.

Although the number is a bit small, it's enough to buy the Niga Mask when combined with his existing 1,900+ magic points.

"System opens the store."

[Magic category:

“Purchase Nija mask.”

Aaron placed the order without hesitation, spending 2,500 magic points in one go, but he didn't feel any pain at all.

Looking at the reddish-brown demon mask in his hand, he could clearly feel the powerful and eerie magic contained within it.

"Congratulations, host, you have accumulated 10,000 magic points in the store, meeting the upgrade requirements."

Upgrading the store will unlock new features. Would you like to upgrade?

"Hmm..." Aaron blinked, "Didn't they used to just give out rewards directly?"

"If the host wishes, the upgrade opportunity can be exchanged for a roulette draw."

“Then forget it. I can tell the difference between one full meal and every full meal,” Aaron said immediately.

The last roulette draw is still fresh in my memory; it featured many god-tier skills that even a mage would be envious of.

But he hadn't forgotten that there were also quite a few useless spells inside, which wouldn't help him at all. The most important thing was the phrase "Thank you for your patronage," which was extremely eye-catching.

He was already incredibly lucky to have drawn the Dragon Slayer Crystal before, so he wouldn't dare gamble this time.
