Through a message from a somewhat chatty man named Chagus Gaunt, Felix determined that this ancient book came from a family called "Gaunt", or at least they had owned it for a long time.

Because the notes at the back were full of praise for this great-grandfather.

And there was more than one.

This made Felix enjoy reading the comments.

The magic product that Felix was about to complete also came from this ancient book. The reason why it was called a "magic product" instead of an "alchemical product" was that its internal circuit was completely constructed by magic words one by one, and there was no trace of alchemy in later generations.

Many people could not tell this, but Felix was an exception - magic words could be used in ancient magic and could also be engraved on objects, because it was a language, a magical language.

Its essence was the exploration and summary of magic by ancient wizards.

Alchemy was different. They partially inherited the ancient magic words and developed on their own. Its purpose was to "leave magic on objects and give them special magical functions".

Therefore, the symbols used in alchemy cannot be called language, but only magic symbols.

But it also has advantages. In order to leave magic on various items, many great wizards have tried various methods and left behind many incredible enchantment techniques.

The master of this aspect is French alchemist Nico Flamel.

Compared with alchemy, magic creations can be regarded as "antiques". This is also one of the reasons why he thinks that the notebook is quite old.

...

The magic product that Felix wants to complete is called "Bound Vine". It uses the extension and growth characteristics of the magic vines themselves to launch surprise attacks. The advantages are that there is no need to chant spells and the launch is stable and undisturbed.

But if you really want to say how powerful it is, it depends on one's own opinion. At least Felix has to put a question mark in his mind.

But he doesn't value power either. He values ​​the ideas contained in it: one is the production ideas of magic products; the other is how to deeply combine the opposing magic characteristics.

Unicorns represent purity and kindness;

Devil's Snare is an extremely aggressive magic plant. It always actively attacks various small animals and unlucky humans. Hunting is their instinct.

Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to combine the magical properties of these two together. Felix referred to the practice in ancient books and used the Whomping Willow to neutralize this opposition. Although the Whomping Willow is violent, it is actually a neutral plant.

Felix waved his wand, broke up the mat woven from unicorn hair, and soaked it in clean water. Almost instantly, the clean water turned dark.

Felix: "..."

He changed several basins of water before cleaning the unicorn hair, and then dried it with magic.

It was not until this time that the unicorn hair showed its original appearance. The soft and smooth white long hair stretched freely, and the warm light kept flowing, as if it was a solidified mercury creation.

The other two main materials need time to cultivate. The Devil's Snare needs to wait until it grows a little bit, and the branches of the Whomping Willow need to be infused with magic to make it more flexible before it can be transformed.

Felix estimated that the preparations will not be completed until at least the end of November.

But I can think about how to optimize the magic loop in advance...

Time passed day by day, and Felix completed the first large-scale unified examination for five grades - this was the exam he promised at the beginning of the school year.

On the weekend before Halloween, he was still busy grading the papers.

Fortunately, he was not alone, and there was another assistant to accompany him to work overtime.

Ten o'clock in the evening.

Hermione yawned with her mouth covered, and secretly glanced at Professor Hepp.

"Professor, I'm done grading."

Felix raised his head, "I still have some, you go back first. Have a good Halloween party."

Hermione said good night and left the office. Walking on the road, she also had expectations for three days later. However, she was not going to attend the party organized by the school, but the five hundredth anniversary of the death of the ghost of Gryffindor "Nearly Headless Nick".

Back in the common room, many young Gryffindor wizards were still making up their homework.

Ron wailed, his potions essay was still eight inches away, and his history of magic essay was still one foot away.

"Why do we have to give so much homework before Halloween!"

Ron shouted out the thoughts of many young wizards. They agreed with him and continued to do their homework.

Hermione sat next to Harry and Ron and said bluntly, "If you finish your homework earlier, you won't have so much trouble."

She is much busier than others. In addition to homework, she not only has to complete her job as an assistant to ancient runes, but also has to practice the runes taught by Professor Hep. So far, she has mastered 19 runes.

Professor Hep said that she has the opportunity to complete an alchemical product independently this year.

Ron said bitterly, "Don't be so nagging, lend me the History of Magic paper quickly."

"You have to complete your homework yourself!"

"I'm just a reference, right, Harry?"

Harry nodded quickly.

In the end, Hermione lent them the homework.

In the next two days, the festive atmosphere on campus became stronger and stronger. Although it was pouring rain outside the window and the sky was as dark as ink, the house was bright and cheerful.

Professor Flitwick decorated the hall with live bats, Professor McGonagall transformed into a huge colorful decoration, and Hagrid's giant pumpkins finally found their place. They were carved into hollow lanterns, large enough to accommodate three or five people sitting inside.

There was a rumor on campus that Dumbledore had booked a skeleton dance troupe to cheer up the festival.

Everyone was looking forward to the party on Halloween.

Only Harry and Ron were unhappy, because Harry couldn't save face and agreed to "Nearly Headless" Nick to participate in the 500th anniversary celebration, while Ron supported his brother and sacrificed his life to accompany him.

But the more they saw the lights and decorations in the hall, the more bitter their smiles became.

This bitterness finally reached its peak as the afternoon of Halloween came.

At seven o'clock, the three of them walked straight through the doorway and prepared to go to the banquet. When they passed by the hall, it was decorated with lights and candles. Each of the huge pumpkin lanterns was as big as a carriage, and some young wizards had already chosen their seats and were chatting and laughing.

As Harry squeezed through the crowd, he even saw one of the twins directing the ghost doll, catching up with one little wizard after another, spraying black air on their faces, and the magic puppet also made a "creaking" ghost cry.

Just the day before, Felix distributed the results and fulfilled his promise. The first place in each grade received a customized version of the magic puppet, which was more powerful and contained more "moves".

The first place in the fourth grade was not one of the twins, but Cedric from Hufflepuff - he has always been the first place. However, when he was choosing the prize, he was fooled by the twins and chose the ghost doll.

He is now sitting with his friends, but his eyes are looking at a third-year Ravenclaw girl. He suddenly regrets it in his heart. If he had chosen a beautiful girl and given it to this girl...

Cedric's heart is full of twists and turns, and the road under the feet of Harry and the other two is also winding. They go all the way down and head straight to the basement. The joy behind them is getting lower and lower, just like their mood at the moment.

Walking through a cold corridor full of black candles, they saw "Almost Headless" Nick standing at the door of a room to welcome guests. He was dressed up today, wearing a black velvet curtain.

"Welcome, my dear friends, it's great that you can come..."

Almost at the same time, Dumbledore also announced the official start of the Halloween party, and the cheers of the little wizards resounded throughout the hall.

Harry, Ron and Hermione looked at each other. Under the blue candlelight, their faces were gloomy, and the three of them walked in with fearlessness.
