Chapter 235 The Half-Blood Prince's Textbook

When he was in Snape's office before, due to time constraints, Mike did not carefully check the Half-Blood Prince's textbook, so when Mike came to the Room of Requirement, he found that this "Advanced Potion Making" was really torn.

It seems that Snape did not keep the book well, or Snape bought it second-hand.

In short, the condition of the book is very bad. Not to mention the aging and curling of the cover paper, even the spine of the book bound inside has multiple damages, which makes this precious textbook on the verge of falling apart.

Mike turned the pages carefully, fearing that he would tear the book apart by turning too hard.

After opening the book, the first thing that caught Mike's eyes was a variety of complex potion theories and formulas. In addition to the printed words with clear handwriting and neat penmanship, the blank space of the book was also covered with obviously handwritten notes.

Although Snape's handwriting was not too ugly, and could even be called beautiful, it was obvious that the ink used by Snape during his student days was not very good, which caused a large number of notes to become blurred after the passage of time.

However, this did not affect Mike much, because even the contents composed of those printed words were not easy for Mike to understand.

"This is really scary!"

Mike couldn't help but speak out his inner thoughts.

NEWT-level potion knowledge was too profound for Mike. Not to mention those weird potion knowledge, even most of the medicinal materials on it were not recognized by Mike.

In desperation, Mike could only temporarily give up the preparation of these advanced potions and turn his attention to the several spells recorded in the textbook.

Snape's book "Advanced Potion Making" recorded a total of six spells, namely:

Locking the tongue and throat, Hanging the golden bell, Golden bell falling to the ground (the counter-spell of hanging the golden bell), blocking the ears and blocking the ears, the invisible sword, and the toenail growth spell.

Except for the Shadowless Spell, the rest of the spells are prank spells, but this does not mean that these spells are useless, just like the Locking Tongue and Closing Throat.

This spell can make people dumb and unable to speak. On the surface, it seems that the direct lethality is very low, but it is extremely useful when facing wizards.

After all, wizards need to recite spells to cast spells, and there are very few wizards in this world who have mastered the silent casting skills.

In addition, the Upside-Down Bell Curse recorded in the textbook also left a deep impression on Mike. This spell can make people hang upside down. When Mike just entered the wizarding world, the unlucky guy from the Burke family in the tavern had used this spell on Mike.

This spell is very special. Like the Shadowless Spell, it needs a counter-curse to remove it.

This type of spell is very insidious, because it is almost impossible to restore the cursed person to their original state except by using a counter-curse.

For this reason, whether a counter-curse is needed was once an important reason for the Ministry of Magic to judge whether a spell is black magic.

This spell was invented by Snape and made popular by him.

In fact, Hogwarts will not teach too many mischief spells like this. After all, you will most likely use it to play pranks after being taught. The main way to learn them is through word of mouth among classmates.

Given that these spells are very simple to cast, they spread very quickly.

For example, Harry and Ron had learned a lot of mischief spells such as "Incisors as Sticks" from the Weasley brothers in their first and second years.

Spells are also popular. For example, the popular mischief spells in Mike's era are spells such as "Dancing Spell", "Incisors Spell" and "Slug Spell".

In Snape's era, the mischief spells he invented were loved by all students in Hogwarts, especially the Upside-Down Bell, which was a must-learn spell for everyone in his time.

Mike can understand why Snape wants to spread the spells he invented, probably because he hopes to prove his talent to someone.

But he would never have thought that his mortal enemy, James Potter, had also learned the spell he invented. And he used the spell he invented to deal with him, making her look bad.

In front of the woman he loved the most!

Mike believed that when Snape was hung upside down in front of the person he loved, he must have been desperate.

After a few seconds of silence for Professor Snape's lost love, Mike returned his sight to the Spell of the Slash.

What surprised Mike was that the difficulty of releasing the Spell of the Slash was unexpectedly low. This extremely lethal spell did not require any complicated wand waving movements at all, nor did it require the coordination of specific emotions. It only required moving the wand according to the instructions in the textbook and reciting the spell clearly.

Mike was very confused. During this period of time, he could not believe that releasing the Spell of the Slash would be so simple.

Out of trust in the original work, Mike half-believedly raised his wand and aimed it at an alchemical doll not far away, and recited the spell to it.

"God of Swords!"

As the spell was recited, Mike felt the magic power in his body suddenly drop a little, and then without any sign, a scar appeared on the head of the alchemy doll, as if it was cut by a sword.

Mike went forward to take a closer look. The scar was about 20 centimeters long, starting from the forehead of the doll and extending to the chin of the doll.

The wound was very deep. Even if the materials used to make the alchemy doll were all magical biological leather with certain anti-magic properties, it could not stop the sharp blade of God of Swords.

Mike now understood why this spell was called God of Swords. This kind of lethality and this level of stealth are even more suitable for sneak attacks than the ground thorn spell.

And because of the characteristics of God of Swords that require a counter-curse to be removed, even if the person who is hit by the spell does not die on the spot, there is a high probability that he will die from excessive bleeding afterwards.

The only pity is that the counter-curse of God of Swords is not recorded in the textbook of the Half-Blood Prince.

In addition, Mike also found a very interesting point.

After releasing the Shadowless Divine Blade, it did not summon a magical blade similar to a wind blade to slash the enemy as Mike originally understood, but directly cracked the enemy's skin.

This was especially obvious under the field of view of magic perception.

Mike did not observe any magic power shooting out of his wand at all. The sharp blade of the Shadowless Divine Blade was like it was formed directly on the enemy's body surface after being guided by mental power. Mike

was overjoyed when he discovered this. He had been coveting Tom Riddle's casting skill that could make spells lose their trajectory for a long time, but Professor Flitwick didn't know what this skill was called.

Since the Shadowless Spell was too simple, Mike couldn't help but think of teaching it to Penelope and Franklin, the two people he trusted the most.

In Mike's opinion, the strength of these two people was still a little lacking. If he wanted to establish an organization in the future, he couldn't just rely on himself, but also let the core members of his organization have overwhelming power to crush other members.

And the Shadowless Spell was just right.

As for whether Snape would get the news and come to trouble him after he spread the Shadowless Spell, Mike was not worried at all.

Now the "Half-Blood Prince's Textbook" in his hand is not only a priceless second-hand book, but also Snape's book of second-year middle school, the dark history he never wants to recall.

Mike believes that anyone who suddenly learns that Snape was also a second-year middle school patient when he was a teenager and called himself the Half-Blood Prince will burst into laughter.

This is a devastating blow to Snape's image. The ridicule of countless people is simply a nightmare for Snape, who has suffered school bullying.

Based on the above reasons, Mike believed that even if Snape knew that he had stolen his textbook, he would pretend to be dumb, and at most he would target him more secretly.

Mike, who had made a decision, immediately set off for the Ravenclaw common room.

Mike arrived at the common room at a very good time. Penelope had just finished class, and Franklin had just finished Quidditch training.

When Penelope heard that Mike had something to find them, she followed Mike without asking why, while Franklin kept asking questions and claimed that if he was not in a hurry, he wanted to take a shower first. He was sweating all over after practicing Quidditch for a day.

In response, Mike threw a towel on him and cleaned himself up and turned to walk out of the common room.

"I really admire you, Mike." Seeing this, Franklin hurriedly followed him, "What is the matter that is so urgent?"

"Good, great! Don't ask for details, just follow me."

Hearing this, Franklin had to shut up. Penelope, who was standing aside, saw that the conversation between the two was quite interesting and couldn't help laughing.

However, Franklin, the active boy, didn't want to stop for a moment. He started talking to Mike again not long after the three of them walked.

"Mike, have you read today's newspaper?" Franklin said seriously, "I heard that a Muggle saw Sirius Black near Hogwarts!"

Mike, who was walking in the front, stopped and turned his head to look at Franklin straight, until Franklin felt uncomfortable all over, then asked, "How did you know?"

"The Daily Prophet, it also said that the Ministry of Magic used too much force when erasing the memory of the Muggle, and the Muggle is likely to be very forgetful in the future."

Mike didn't listen to the second half of Franklin's words at all, at this moment his brain was working fast.

Sirius Black moved very slowly because he didn't have a wand and couldn't be called any wizard public transportation. They had been in school for so long and he just arrived near Hogwarts.

Now that Black has arrived at Hogwarts, his next step may be to sneak into Hogwarts directly...

'We must speed up the plan. '

Mike said this to himself in his heart, and the next moment he quickened his pace and walked towards the Room of Requirement.

When the three of them arrived at the Room of Requirement, before Penelope and Franklin, who were panting, could catch their breath, Mike directly told them the purpose of calling them here this time.

"I'm going to teach you a new spell!"

Penelope and Franklin had different reactions after hearing the news.

Franklin immediately smiled. It must be good for him to learn new spells. His current spell pool is much shallower than Mike's.

Penelope's face showed embarrassment, and she said to Mike tentatively: "Mike, I'm in the fifth grade now, and I have a lot of courses, so..."

Penelope didn't continue, because Mike was looking at her with a strange look.

"I can assure you that the spell I will teach you next will be the most amazing one you have ever seen!" Mike persuaded, "And you don't have to work so hard. I am now a wealthy man. According to the consumption level you showed during our last date, I should still be able to support you."

Facing the second half of Mike's joke, Penelope just smiled reluctantly, but did not say anything to refuse.

Seeing this, Mike stopped persuading her. He drew out his wand and threw a sharp shadowless spell at the training dummy beside him.

Franklin and Penelope looked at the dummy. After seeing the shocking wound on the dummy, they both opened their mouths wide.

This was not over yet. Mike changed direction and raised his wand again. After a short brewing, he recited the Patronus spell.

"Expecto Patronus!"

As Mike recited the spell, a silver-white raven suddenly appeared, flew around Penelope and then disappeared into the air.

"Patronus!"

Penelope was obviously a connoisseur. She reacted immediately after the silver-white raven disappeared and exclaimed.

"Bing! You got it right. It's the Patronus. The two spells I just demonstrated are what I will teach you next." Mike snapped his fingers and said, "The Patronus is difficult, so I don't ask you to learn it in a short time. But the Shadowless Spell just now is very simple. I hope you can learn it within two days." Franklin

and Penelope were stunned at first, and then they agreed with great embarrassment.

Franklin was worried that he was too stupid to learn it, and Penelope was worried that the task Mike suddenly assigned would affect her already very busy studies.

Seeing the two people like this, Mike didn't say much. He asked them to sit down first and said with a serious expression:

"I hope you can keep everything I am going to say strictly confidential!"

Penelope and Franklin looked at each other and nodded again.

"Sirius Black will launch an attack on Hogwarts next, and his actions are bound to anger the Dementors guarding the perimeter of Hogwarts."

"I believe you have seen how arrogant the Dementors are. I have reason to believe that these beasts will use the excuse of searching for Black to enter Hogwarts and search!"

Before Michael finished speaking, Penelope began to tremble. The Dementors left a deep psychological trauma on her when she first started school.

"But we don't have to worry too much. As you have just seen, I have been able to summon a physical version of the Patronus. It is not a problem to protect the three of us." Michael continued, "But the safety of the rest of the students is still a problem. So I ask you to help me, to help me protect those in need!"
