On the second day, the content of the test was Defense Against the Dark Arts, herbal medicine, and arithmetic divination, and Ryan completed the exam without any problems. The arithmetic divination in these three courses is more special, because the written test and practical operation of this course are actually one exam. In addition, there were very few people who took this course, so the exam was put on the afternoon after the practical exams of the Defence Against the Dark Arts and Herbs classes.
So when I finished the whole day's exams, it was late, but fortunately, the school knew about it. So a simple dinner was prepared in the auditorium for the students who didn't have time to eat dinner for the exam.
However, Ryan didn't have much energy to taste the food at this time, and after a hurried beef burger and a glass of milk, he immediately picked up his school bag and ran upstairs. Seeing this, Hermione also finished the last bite of salad in the salad bowl and followed.
"You can eat slowly, there's no need to stay with me now. I can do this thing by myself today, and I don't need help from others. Ryan saw Hermione trotting after following and turned to her. "You can go about your own business. ”
"You're brewing a very important potion related to death, how can I not take a look at it at this time? Hermione reached out and brushed her hair behind her ear from running, and then looked at Ryan very seriously.
This is seriousness and intellectual curiosity, Ryan sighed in his heart. After spending a long time together, he realized that Hermione, although smart, was not so clever as to be exaggerated. The reason why she has been able to achieve what she is today is that she always maintains an attitude of curiosity and perseverance to keep doing something for the sake of something.
After arriving at the laboratory, the helmet containing the potion was still floating in mid-air, and runes the size of soybean grains were constantly flickering around it, twinkling like stars in the night sky.
Upon stepping into the helmet, the liquid inside still swirled slowly as they had seen when they left. But unlike yesterday, today's liquid has a sparkling silver glow, like crystal clay.
"Now is the final step. Ryan said as he pulled out a small glass bottle from his bosom, containing only a black liquid that barely covered the bottom of the bottle.
These liquids were Voldemort's blood, and Ryan had collected them from the blade after the last time he had slashed Voldemort's sword in battle. They are the most critical ingredient in this potion.
After Voldemort's blood fell into the cauldron, the liquid in the cauldron tumbled again. However, after only a few seconds, the liquid returned to calm. But the potion's appearance was completely different from what it was before, and it looked like a pot of black asphalt. But the texture is much smoother than asphalt.
After a few gestures, all the runes disappeared, and the helmet slowly fell to the ground. Ryan pulled out a turquoise jade and inserted it into the liquid. In an instant, the black color spread on the jade, and finally the blue-green jade stone became like a piece of coal essence.
"Ah, it worked. A smile appeared on Ryan's face, and he took out seventy-seven forty-nine brown furrowed seeds the size of a grain of rice from the space bag and threw them into the potion in his helmet.
After falling into the potion, the seed was not melted by the black liquid in the helmet as the normal story progresses, but instead produced a series of magical changes with the potion. In Hermione's incredulous gaze, a cluster of plants carved from black jade quickly emerged from the helmet.
The grass looked very individual, a little like mugwort, with a set of jagged leaves, like a clump of bird feathers, and like some kind of myriapod bug.
"What is this?" Hermione looked at everything in front of her in disbelief, "You should tell me what you've been doing for the past two days, I just felt that you were brewing a very important potion of life and death. But now it seems that you have other ways to do this potion, and it is not for anyone to drink. ”
"You guessed it. Ryan said as he summoned the Lady of Roses, and nodded a few times at the cluster of plants on the helmet, and a burst of pink light immediately released from the Lady of Roses and enveloped the plants. In the pink glow, the plants that had drained the helmet's potion floated up from the helmet, and then slowly tried to weave it into something.
"This is a yarrow seed brought from behind the tomb of Fuxi of the Celestial Empire. Watching a straw man take shape, Ryan turned to Hermione and explained, "After getting the mysterious man's blood before, I finally got all the spellcasting elements ready. And this method is a kind of Maoshan Secret Treasure that I got from my master, Uncle Jiu. A way to guarantee that the piece of the mysterious man's soul would be removed from him without hurting Harry. ”
"Really? It's just amazing. After listening to Ryan's words, Hermione held her hand in front of her chest and waved it vigorously, because she knew that Voldemort's last hole card was his Horcrux, and as long as the Horcrux existed, he would be reborn over and over again. And Harry, the Horcrux that Voldemort accidentally made, was the most difficult one of his many Horcruxes, so this news is definitely good news now.
"Of course it's true. The yarrow floating in the air was woven into a black straw man as big as a man under the influence of magic, and at the moment when the straw man took shape, Ryan made a gesture to put away the Rose Lady. "Let's go to Principal Dumbledore now. ”
After saying that, he made a few gestures to the straw man again, and the straw man quickly shrunk, and finally shrank to the size of a palm and fell to the ground. Ryan stepped forward and picked up the straw man.
"There's one thing I've never figured out. On the way to the headmaster's office, Hermione asked. "You started to feel completely different from before at the end of last semester, how can I say it? ”
"Do you think that's bad?" asked Ryan, who walked to the front.
"No, it's not, I certainly don't think it's bad. Actually, from my personal point of view, I like you a little bit more like the way you are now. The way you used to hide yourself with all your might struck me as a little too restrained. Hermione replied immediately. "I just think your personality has changed too much during this time, and it's a bit abnormal. ”
"As long as you don't hate the change. Ryan shrugged, "As for why this has changed, it's because I finally have the strength to give us a foothold in the wizarding world. ”
"By the way, you made the Madonna of Roses at that time. Hermione immediately understood what Ryan meant, "But was it really worth the effort? I guess it's going to be a lot of work!"
"It's hard, but it's necessary, Hermione. Ryan paused, turned to look at Hermione, and said. "Our origins leave us with no family to back us in the wizarding world, and we are not the beloved students of a powerful wizard, nor do we have any strong bloodlines to bless us. So it's all up to us. Luckily, we have the means to make ourselves stronger, and now we finally have the strength to make our voices heard. ”
"That means we can actually put our second-year ideas into action. Hermione said. "Even though we waited for several years, we had more to do. But I'm glad that our original dream can now be realized. ”
"Yes, the realization of my childhood dreams is a great celebration in any case. Ryan also began to recall the goals he had set with Hermione when she was an exchange student with her in the makeshift Hogwarts Express dormitory in Castro Brush, Brazil. "We are indeed fortunate to be able to do this. ”
