Chapter 29 Control Spell

Only Mike and Penelope were left in the narrow corridor. There was no electrical lighting equipment in Hogwarts Castle, and the weather was bad today, so the surrounding environment was very dim.

Mike turned around and looked at Penelope. His eyes were not as gentle as usual, but with a hint of gloom.

Penelope was startled by Mike's eyes and couldn't help but shrink back. A panicked look appeared on her face. She found that the boy in front of her didn't seem to be what she thought before.

Mike looked at the expression on Penelope's face, and the blackthorn wood wand appeared in his hand.

"Senior Penelope, I need your help with something."

"What... what?"

Penelope became more nervous when she saw Mike took out the wand. She looked at the exit behind her anxiously, and had the urge to turn around and run away.

Mike quietly went around Penelope and blocked Penelope's retreat. The entrance they came from was the only source of light in the entire corridor. With Mike blocking her, the surrounding light instantly dimmed a little.

"I need the specific method of learning the Disillusionment Charm." Mike went straight to the point.

"That is a control spell. Only graduates who want to apply for the Auror exam can apply to learn the Disillusionment Charm. I can't help you either."

"I believe you must have a way. Aren't you the social queen of Ravenclaw?" Mike walked slowly around Penelope. Mike

's face was particularly gloomy against the dim light around him. The figure that was half a head shorter than her put Penelope under great pressure at this time.

"Don't you have Professor Flitwick? If you talk to him, he will definitely teach you."

If it was so simple, would he need to come to you?

Mike complained in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface.

"Do you want to be a prefect, senior sister?" Seeing Penelope's reluctant look, he could only throw out a big move.

Hearing Mike mention the prefect, Penelope's expression changed drastically. She had been trying hard to please Mike during this period just to get him to say a few good words to Professor Flitwick. Unexpectedly, Mike not only knew her intention, but also used it to threaten her. Penelope was silent.

Seeing that Penelope remained silent for a long time, Mike was not in a hurry. He gently stroked the blackthorn wood wand in his hand, waiting for Penelope's answer.

Mike was not afraid of Penelope's refusal at all. From the contact during this period, it can be seen that Penelope is more eager for power than he had expected before. And Penelope is also able to get him the detailed learning method of the Disillusionment Spell. You should know that Penelope also has many suitors among the pure-blood graduates.

The Disillusionment Spell is an invisibility spell. After using this spell, the caster will feel a liquid flowing down his head and wrapping his body. After the spell is completed, the user's skin will become like a chameleon, and will change with the color of the environment, but the effect of the Disillusionment Spell is much stronger than that of the chameleon.

In addition, the invisibility cloak is actually a cloak with the Disillusionment Spell attached. Since the duration of the Disillusionment Spell is limited, the general invisibility cloak needs to be re-attached with the Disillusionment Spell every once in a while.

The Disillusionment Charm can only last for a short time on a cloak made of ordinary materials, so the materials used for the invisibility cloak are all magical materials. Only this kind of material can make the Disillusionment Charm last longer.

In the original book, Harry's invisibility cloak is different from the ordinary invisibility cloak. It is a real artifact with a permanent Disillusionment Charm solidified on it, and the invisibility effect will never disappear.

But this does not mean that you can make an invisibility cloak after learning the Disillusionment Charm. It requires very deep knowledge of alchemy to attach the Disillusionment Charm to the invisibility cloak.

This is a spell that Mike must learn this year. Before, Mike had looked for detailed learning methods of the Disillusionment Charm in the Ravenclaw Library and the Hogwarts Library, but found nothing except some simple introductions.

The Disillusionment Charm belongs to the control spell, which is a spell that must be learned to become an Auror. Ordinary wizards will never be able to come into contact with this spell in their lifetime. There are many control spells that belong to the Disillusionment Charm, and the most well-known is the Unforgivable Curse.

But many families have the learning methods of these control spells, which is the so-called knowledge barrier. Ordinary Muggle wizards who want to learn the Disillusionment Charm can only apply to the school in their seventh year at Hogwarts, except for joining the Aurors.

This application is not something that anyone can submit. You must have two or more professors to guarantee you before you can be eligible to apply.

According to Mike's understanding, the last person who submitted an application to Hogwarts and was approved was named Tom Riddle.

After submitting the report, the professors will conduct a strict review of the applicants, and only after confirming the applicants' talents and morals will they give the specific learning methods of the Disillusionment Charm.

Of course, the methods of using the Disillusionment Charm must be collected in the restricted area of ​​Hogwarts, but with the spells that Mike currently masters, there is no good way to deal with the magic restrictions in the restricted area for the time being. Once these magic restrictions are triggered, they will alarm Dumbledore in the headmaster's office of Hogwarts.

If you want to enter the restricted area, you must at least wait until Dumbledore is not in school. And this year, there will be such an opportunity.

At this time, Penelope finally spoke: "Okay, I do have a way to get the Disillusionment Charm, but you must guarantee that I can become a prefect next year."

Penelope's expression was not as panicked as before. Now that she understood Mike's intention, there was nothing to be afraid of.

"You will become a prefect, I promise." Mike stepped forward and looked into Penelope's eyes and said,

"Then, happy cooperation."

Penelope looked at the boy in front of her who was half a head shorter than her and said coldly.

After getting the answer he wanted, Mike did not stay for long. He put away his wand and strode towards the Requirement Room on the eighth floor. Halfway through, he seemed to have thought of something, and stopped and turned his head and said, "Christmas is coming soon, hurry up." Then he left quickly.

Penelope bit her lips with her pearly teeth. She understood the meaning of Mike's words just now, which was nothing more than reminding her to hurry up.

Now there is only one month left until Christmas. This time seems to be a long time, but it is still not enough time to get the specific learning method of the Disillusionment Charm from the graduates who signed the confidentiality agreement.

Michael on the other hand didn't care about all that. It would be best if Penelope could help him get the Disillusionment Spell before Christmas. If that didn't work, he had a second plan and didn't need to rely on her.
