Chapter 45: Attack on Filch
Although Louis was willing to believe Dumbledore, believing that he could not murder him for no reason, he was also willing to try to believe Snape, believing that he could not add superfluous ingredients to these polyjuice potions.
But.
Louie cherishes the hard-won opportunity to be reborn, so he can't be like the Potters in the HP movie, risking his life on trusting a person.
Knowing people, knowing faces, but not hearts.
When the Potters decided to make Peter Pettigrew the secret keeper of the Curse of Loyalty, how could they have imagined that Peter Pettigrew would betray them and divulge the secret of their hiding place to Voldemort?
Therefore, even if he asked Filch to experiment with the effects of the compound decoction, Louis made it clear to him, clearly telling him that these compound decoctions were obtained from Snape, and asking Filch's personal opinion to see if he was willing to participate in the experiment.
If Filch refused, then Louis had nothing to say, and it was impossible to use coercion.
Filch, however, readily agreed.
Let's be honest ....
He agreed with a much more crisp attitude than Louis had imagined.
From here, you can see how much Filch, as a squib, yearns for the mysterious magical world!
Let's talk about the change in Filch's taking of the compound decoction.
Almost as soon as he took the compound decoction, Louis saw that Filch's skin bubbled up like boiling water.
And then....
"Buzz!"
Because Filch is not a wizard, Louis, who has a little less concern, manipulates the magic in time to explore Filch's ever-changing body.
As Louie's magic entered his body, Filch's body twitched violently, his expression subtle....
At the same time, Louis, who frowned, was keenly aware that the magic power he had precisely manipulated was actually making Filch tremble from his soul.
Thanks to the fact that Louis entered Filch's body with less magic at this time, and it was manipulated very properly, otherwise....
His very special silent magic may really be able to devour Filch's delicate soul (spiritual power)!
"Why on earth is my magic so interested in other people's mental powers?"
"Is it because..."
"I'm a well-disguised foodie?"
Gently shaking his head to dismiss the idea, Louis felt that the reason why his Silent Ran magic was special might be related to the obsession he had when he condensed Silent Ran.
According to Louie's definition of magic, magic is the embodiment of spiritual power, so a person's spiritual obsession is likely to affect the essence of magic itself.
For example, the Patronus Charm (Calling God Guard) in the HP movie, which requires the caster to imagine a pleasant experience before it can be cast smoothly, is undoubtedly a good example.
And when Louis compresses and condenses the silent magic, what he never forgets is the exploration of the unknown, the desire for all knowledge.
He felt that it was probably because of this, that his silent magic had undergone a special change, causing his magic to mutate into a similar ability to devour.
Merlin bless.
This very special magical devouring ability is controllable.
Louis was also very happy, and through Filch's compound decoction experiment, he was able to confirm his controllable conjecture about the ability to devour magic.
The other side.
The changes that Filch had had with the polyjuice decoction continued.
The palms of his hands, the soles of his feet, are growing bigger with the bubbles rolling out....
His body, arms, legs and other parts are also expanding with the bubbles that are rolling out....
The change in his whole person lasted about a minute.
Just a minute later.
As the corners of Louie's eyes twitched violently, he looked at the torn clothes scattered on the ground, and when he looked at Filch again, he no longer saw Filch's pale, emaciated figure, but a stout figure with thick hair.
Well....
The picture is a little too beautiful....
So, Louis hurriedly manipulated the power of the Transfiguration Charm, turned a rag on the ground into a wide robe, and threw it to Filch:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Filch, I didn't prepare a change of clothes for you in advance, and I will compensate you for the loss."
"No, Mister Rogers."
After completing the transformation, he opened his mouth to say the first sentence, Xu Filch was still not used to the voice after the transformation, and after the words were spoken, he was stunned for a moment, and then while observing his own changes, he asked Louis with curiosity:
"Mister Rogers, this size of mine.... Could it be that I'm the one who became Hagrid? ”
"That's right."
Louie nodded, "I put Mr. Hagrid's hair in the polyjuice potion, how does it feel?" ”
"It's been..."
The corners of Filch's mouth twitched slightly, "At first, it tasted a little like cabbage that had been boiled for too long, and then it tasted a little like... Like the smell of heather. ”
"Mister Rogers, you know heather, right?"
Louis nodded with black lines on his head and replied: "I know a little bit, it's a man.... Well, you get the idea. ”
"That's right! That's pretty much what it tastes like! ”
Filch squinted his eyes, licked his lips, as if reminiscing about something, and muttered, "That smell makes me feel like I swallowed Hagrid raw..."
"Stop!"
Suddenly a little sick to his stomach by Filch's words, Louis took a deep breath and hurriedly changed the subject:
"Mr. Filch, do you have any special feeling about being Hagrid?"
"Yes!"
Filch slowly clenched his fists and nodded: "I feel that my body is full of strength, my waist is no longer sore, my legs are not painful, I can easily climb to the eighth floor of Hogwarts Castle in one breath, and I will no longer be out of breath like before!" ”
"What about the rest?"
"The rest of the feelings...."
Filch was confused, "Mr. Rogers, what do you mean?" ”
"It's just.... Never mind. ”
Obviously, the question that Louis wanted to ask Filch at this point was whether he could use magic in the same way that he had used Polyjuice Potion to transform into Hagrid's appearance.
But considering that Filch was a squib, and that he might have been exposed to magic in Hogwarts before, but didn't know how to use it, Louis prepared to use magic to find out what was going on, and instead said to Filch:
"Mr. Filch, you can continue your work with Lady Loris during your transformation, remembering to avoid encountering the professors in the castle as much as possible. You don't need to worry about me, I'll use the Illusion Charm to sneak up behind you for follow-up research, understand? ”
"Understood!"
"OK, please do your own thing."
"Good!"
Picking up the oil lamp that Louis had also caught with the Levitation Charm, Filch greeted Lady Loris, and then strode excitedly, disappearing at the end of the corridor in the blink of an eye.
And Louis, who was following Filch and behind Lady Loris, suddenly saw that Filch, who had transformed into Hagrid, only needed three steps to step up a staircase, and it only took three minutes to complete the inspection of a floor....
"Whew!"
Taking a deep breath, Louis stared at Filch's huge figure at this time, and couldn't help but think evilly:
"Whoever is going to take a night tour in the castle today, I guess..."
"Surely he will be caught by the attacking Filch, right?"
