Chapter 253: Diverting the trouble
Jian Yu discovered that when Mr. Vogel was teaching seriously, his previous attitude, which was as stinky and hard as a stone in a toilet, was completely gone.
The more she learned, the more she felt that the other party's magical skills were so advanced that he could become a professor or headmaster at Hogwarts.
To be honest, putting aside those arrogant attitudes——
She suddenly felt that the old man's family was quite nice.
With such powerful strength, she almost knocked him to death, but he did not cook her into meat patties when he woke up.
"A wand is just a tool to guide magic, making the spell more accurate and effective, but it is never a necessity for performing magic."
Vogel pointed a finger at the golden cup and continued:
"Wizards under the age of 11 who unconsciously cast magic are a form of wandless magic, a system of wandless magic that was developed by Native Americans and African wizards before they received wands."
He seemed to use his finger as a magic wand, and with a slight movement, the cup hit the wall hard and bounced back.
“Magic follows the wizard’s heart. The key to casting a spell lies in firm emotion and will, and the control of the flow of magic.”
Jian Yu tried hard to imagine himself as a big magic wand and his index finger as a small magic wand, and he mobilized all the magic power in his body to the position of his index finger.
She pointed her index finger at the golden cup and gave a silent order in her heart: Clear water like a spring!
A small stream of clear water seeped out from the fingertips, filling half of the cup and appearing green.
"Ms. Scamander, is this little drop of water your real strength?"
A familiar mocking voice rang in her ears, and anyone could hear the disdain in it, which made Jian Yu roll her eyes.
She exerted herself in her heart: clear water like a spring... a river... a flood... a sea...
“Hua La La—”
The house flooded.
A large amount of not-so-clear water passed through the golden cup, filling the entire house with the stench of rats drowning and rotting in the sewer.
"Yue...yue...vomit..."
And of course the smell of Grindelwald vomiting.
Even though he quickly blocked his sense of smell, the strange-colored liquid that flooded his feet made him feel uncontrollably nauseous.
This child has such a bad temper!
It was just a word, and you're deliberately retaliating?
"Hurry up...yue...clean up...yue..."
The two people who kept using the Vanishing Spell and cleaning up didn't notice that—
The golden cup soaked in a foul-smelling unknown liquid - or rather, the slice of Voldemort inside it - couldn't help but struggle.
This feeling of being burned and corroded... made him feel extremely dangerous!
He must seize the opportunity to control the minds of the two in order to protect himself!
But what the poor slice didn't expect was that he kicked two steel plates.
The old and young couple completely treated the golden cup as a tool for practicing spells. Using the many powerful protective spells he had cast on the cup, they tormented it vigorously. All sorts of sharp and invisible poisonous curses, evil curses were cast at it at the same time, causing the golden color of the cup to dim.
"Anyway, this thing is not that easy to break." Mr. Vogel couldn't help but wave it a few more times, making the golden cup almost turn into a silver cup. "Horcruxes are very strong - just right for practicing spells, trying a few more dark magics, and breaking through the protective spell on it."
Jian Yu strongly suspected that his behavior was a personal revenge for the fact that he had been forced to drink a golden cup of magic potion for a week.
Then I think the next person to be revenged will be her!
Her vigilance was at its highest level, ready to run away with the scent at any time.
She and Sniff don't want to be served at the dinner table!
But what she didn't expect was that the old man in front of her stopped teaching, started to practice again, crossed his hands behind his head and lay down.
Jian Yu couldn't help but be filled with questions. Fortunately, after spending many days together, she learned some tips on how to provoke someone and also started reading a collection of sarcastic quotations.
"That's it? The end? Is this all you can teach me about wandless spellcasting?"
But the other party did not respond. Instead, he showed a strange expression, as if an elder was looking at a junior.
She even felt that the expression was somewhat similar to that of her guardian, Dumbledore.
"It's not impossible for me to continue teaching you - but before that - you have to answer a question for me first."
Jian Yu always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what.
She only saw the old man named Anton Vogel looking up at the ceiling and asking casually:
"I already know you're from Hogwarts - but - this lady who calls herself Scamander -"
"What have you done - to make your headmaster - Albus Dumbledore trust you so much?"
A strange intuition suddenly swept through Jian Yu's brain.
The feeling that something was wrong increased!
Why did you suddenly mention her guardian?
Seeing that she didn't answer for a while, Vogel changed his posture, crossed his legs and crossed his fingers over his chest, with a slightly confused expression on his face:
"Or let's put it another way, why are you his favorite...most valued student?"
A biological instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm told Jian Yu that if she answered "I don't know" or spoke frankly about their parent-child relationship -
It is very likely that you will end up being cooked.
For example, it is made into steaks, grilled to medium rare, sprinkled with black pepper and served on the table.
She didn't know that she felt the same way as her mentor, the hero Newt Scamander, did 69 years ago.
But obviously her choice was much wiser than that of her mentor who answered honestly, "I really don't know," and chose to divert the blame.
Although she really wanted to answer Harry Potter, the protagonist already had enough enemies and couldn't add another one because of her.
"I think when it comes to liking someone, I'm just an ordinary student among the principal's many students."
"The student he really liked back then was none other than Tom Marvolo Riddle, our old senior."
"But unfortunately, he went astray after graduating fifty years ago and has become Voldemort."
She felt there was nothing wrong with this answer.
After all, when Voldemort was still Tom, he was her roommate and schoolmate!
Like her, she was taken out of the orphanage by Dumbledore himself, spent many years in Hogwarts and received much attention -
It is said that he was extremely smart, handsome, polite, had excellent grades, and had a great relationship with teachers and students...
It’s not an exaggeration to say that he is the student I like (crossed out) and value the most!
Moreover, according to gossip, Voldemort once came back to meet Dumbledore for tea and chat after work.
I want to return to Hogwarts and apply for the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor and be his colleague!
Vogel raised his eyebrows, and for the first time, Jian Yu saw a speechless and indescribable look on his face.
This made him look a lot more lively, at least like a living person.
She guessed he didn't believe it because she didn't believe it herself either.
But she could vaguely hear Vogel's mumbling in her ears. She couldn't hear it clearly, but it seemed like he was analyzing something.
"It's impossible... Such an ugly soul... Apart from profound magical abilities... has no personal charm... It's simply an insult..."
"Fifty years ago...Fifty years ago...1945...Duel...No wonder...It turns out that besides those reasons...there is also this..."
