Dumbledore tossed the letter to Fawkes, who took it into the fireplace flames and flew out again.

The owl was doing what it had done when it was still alive, and Dumbledore looked at the other's severed beak and tried to comb the feathers on its belly, which should have been white, but was stained gray with dirt.

And the large hole in the stomach revealed the rotating gears inside, and when the beak touched the gears, it directly burst into a clicking sound.

"The fire is raging." Dumbledore's wand lightly tapped on the other bird's head, and a ball of flame enveloped the owl, which was already dead anyway, and it was impossible to see how painful the owl was in the process of burning, and it burned to ashes in a short time.

Dumbledore looked out the window at the night, and then sat down in the headmaster's chair in silence, surrounded by portraits asleep, unaware that Dumbledore had received a letter from an old man.

"It's time, my old fellow." Dumbledore's eyes are cloudy under the lenses, this old man is very old, so old that he can't see things clearly when he takes off his glasses, and there are not many traces that can be left in this era, he doesn't have the vitality of his youth, and he wants to die at Hogwarts for the rest of his life, this is the most perfect way to die in Dumbledore's heart.

"It seems that in the last stage of life, we will have to be busy for a while, and sometimes I really envy you, the mysterious ability to be reborn after death, but I know that if wizards or humans get it, this world will not be a little better."

Dumbledore raised his right hand, his left hand became charred black, the power of the curse began to grow stronger, and the time he had left was less and less, Fawkes screamed and landed on Dumbledore's wrist, and then a cloud of fire Dumbledore and Fawkes disappeared into the Headmaster's office.

Dumbledore disappeared for a few more days, and it was the same last semester, and the students didn't see the headmaster for a long time, except for the beginning, and then they got used to it, and the students had to go on with their daily routines.

There are two big devils outside who are always scaring the children, and although it is safe at Hogwarts, you can't live a life of fear.

In the years that Snape was teaching Potions, Harry Potter had never imagined that Potions would have such an attractive charm, and the reason why he didn't find out a few years ago was that Harry blamed Snape for all this.

After all, who wants to face an extremely disgusted professor in class, and still have the heart to listen to the other party's lectures, and Snape also hates Harry in his heart, who let this immortal boy not be his son.

"So your latest performance is all from this book, right?" Hermione looked at the book in Harry's hand, looked at Ron, who had a bruised nose and swollen face, and couldn't help but ask, it was a Potions textbook.

And it's the sixth grade.,It's just that this book is covered with writing and drawing.,Basically, for the techniques and introductions explained in the potions textbook.,There are very clear techniques and annotations in this book.。

There were more lines on the paper than there were printed words, and Harry also found a particularly interesting spell on it, the upside-down golden hook, which Harry had inadvertently released in the dormitory just now, but made Ron hang upside down in the air, like a hook hooking the other party.

The huge movement and the attention of others made it impossible for Harry to keep the book private, and in the face of Hermione's questioning, he had to tell the truth about the origin of the book.

"Harry, you're crazy, don't you know it's illegal to use a spell that isn't recorded by the Ministry of Magic and used in general?" Hermione said sternly.

In the wizarding world, all spells are registered with the Ministry of Magic, and if they are banned by the Ministry of Magic, that is, forbidden spells, and used by wizards, it is a crime, and it is very serious and can even be imprisoned in Azkaban.

Of course, if there is a spell that is not recorded by the Ministry of Magic and is secretly used or studied by a wizard, it is also an illegal act, but it is not as strict as a forbidden spell, but if it causes great consequences, the Ministry of Magic still has the right to pursue it.

"Okay, Hermione, don't be angry, Harry didn't mean to, and besides, according to you, I'm afraid my brother should have died in Azkaban." Asinsha exonerated Harry, and Sherlock was probably the one who used the most unknown spells in this world, but the Ministry of Magic was helpless about it, and now the influence of the other party was even higher.

even put his father in the position of Minister of Magic.

"This is not the case, the spells used by Mr. Sherlock are all his own research."

"But it's also an unknown spell, and it hasn't been recorded in the Ministry of Magic anyway." Asinsha then objected, believing that it was just a trivial matter and that there was no need to be so nervous.

Even if Harry took advantage of it, fortunately, there were no accidents now, so Harry would naturally be more careful in the future.

"Okay...... I don't want to argue too much with you about this...... But the book is signed by the half-blood prince! ”

It clearly reads, 'This book belongs to the half-blood prince'!

Hermione looked through the book and found that it was basically a correction of the sixth-grade Potions textbook.

And there are also several spells recorded on it, among which the absence of a shadow is particularly dangerous.

Seeing this book reminded Hermione of a person.

"So this book is the last time you won the elixir." Hermione asked, looking at Harry.

The last time Professor Horace asked everyone to configure potions, the best students would be given a small bottle of Elixir of Blessings, which would bring people good luck for twenty-four hours.

It was something Hermione wanted.

"Well, I did flip through it, and I followed the notes on it, and I didn't expect to get the championship easily." Harry's understatement made Hermione uncomfortable.

It's no wonder that in recent days, Horace has raved about Harry's abilities, saying that he has rarely taught such a talented student.

Now Hermione has finally found the reason, and she has always thought that what is taught in the textbooks is correct, and now there is a revolutionary who challenges authority and even corrects the way of operation, the half-blood prince.

Harry secretly wondered who the half-blood prince was.

He hadn't been able to read the book carefully, but he had roughly flipped through it from beginning to end, and found that the prince had added notes to almost every page, and that none of them were related to potions-making.

Some of the instructions look like spells made up by the prince himself.

"Maybe it's a woman." Hermione hated the book, and Harry's reliance on someone else's book to be respected by the professor made Hermione, a hard-working girl, feel very uncomfortable, and she hated Harry like a liver emperor looking at a cheating player.

"His name is 'Half-Blood Prince.'" Harry said, "How many girls call themselves princes?" ”

Hermione seemed speechless.

"The sixth-grade textbook, advanced potion making, will it be Mr. Sherlock's, it seems that Mr. Sherlock is the only one in the entire school who has this ability and talent." Ron spoke his speculation.

"Mr. Sherlock's name is the Prince of Charms, but he is not a half-blood prince who knows how to write and draw in textbooks." Hermione immediately refuted Ron's claims.

Ron also stubbornly defended, "Maybe Mr. Sherlock also hates the name Prince of Charms, after all, this name was not come up by himself, but the people of the wizarding world added it to him, if Mr. Sherlock likes the title of Half-Blood Prince, think about the Half-Blood Prince, how domineering this name is." ”

"Ridiculous!" Hermione threw the book to Harry, "Look at it, it's dirty, shabby, and the corners are rolled up, and the handwriting on it doesn't look like Mr. Sherlock's handwriting." ”

Hermione explained, "I've seen most of Mr. Sherlock's notes, and his handwriting is much better than these, and Mr. Sherlock's notes are neat. ”

"But you have to think clearly that this is a textbook, who would cherish a textbook well, and the half-blood prince and the enchanted prince are two words apart, and the textbook of this book has been corrected to record unknown spells on it, can you really be sure that this is not the textbook that Mr. Sherlock used in the sixth grade?" Ron retorted again.

Hermione, on the other hand, opened her mouth, and suddenly realized that there was some truth in what the other party said, and snatched the book from Harry's hand to cherish it.

"I said, if you're really so curious, why don't you ask for yourself." Ah Xinsha really can't stand it, why don't you ask if you have doubts in a school.

"So you're going to come straight to me." Sherlock was sitting by the lake at Hogwarts enjoying the scenery and the autumn breeze when the four guys, Ascinsa and Hermione, came running to him again.

Lupo and Dandeni leaned over curiously, looked at the book in Harry's hand, and then suddenly laughed and said, "How could this be Master Sherlock's book, this is a book that has been sitting for more than ten years, and we have only been promoted from sixth to seventh grade this summer." ”

Hermione looked at Harry with a triumphant expression.

Sherlock took the book and flipped through it, in fact, he planned to look for this book when he first entered school, but he didn't find it at first, so Sherlock gave up this idea, but he didn't expect it to be finally obtained by Harry.

"Yes, this book explains quite well!" Sherlock handed the book to Harry as he pulled out another very new high-grade potions crafting book from his pocket.

On the first page of the book, there is the sheep's head mark of the Mephisto family, and the name of Sherlock Mephisto is written underneath, but the word Prince of Charms is not written.

Hermione and Harry looked through the advanced potions making book, which belonged to Sherlock's sixth year.

I found that this book has also been recorded by Sherlock a lot, but compared to the book of the half-blood prince, Sherlock's book is much neater, and the handwriting is beautiful and exquisite.

If the half-blood prince has only corrected the operation methods in the textbook, then Sherlock's book has been revised and made inferences.

"It's a pity I didn't write the spell in it, because I can't write the book anymore, but the spells Harry I've developed are far more interesting than the upside-down golden hook, and far more dangerous than the Shadowless." Sherlock said.

That's the spell developed by the Prince of Spells, if it is made public, then I'm afraid there are not many that are not forbidden spells.

Hermione smirked at Harry, the half-blood prince who had lost in front of the Cursed Prince.

And Harry was annoyed by Hermione's appearance, and Sherlock's achievements and talents were not Hermione's doing.

"Mr. Sherlock, can you show me this book?" Hermione pleaded to Sherlock.

"Absolutely."

Harry sighed helplessly, looking like his dominance in Potions class was soon going to be snatched back by Hermione.

"Harry, you have to remember that in the 1000 years since the school was founded, the school has produced many demonic figures, often whose names are marked with the symbol of an era, both good and bad."

Sherlock looked at Harry and continued, "Not to mention the founders of the four houses, the first four giants, Dumbledore of Gryffindor and Tom Riddle of Slytherin in the last hundred years. ”

"And this half-blood prince in your hands, they are all very talented people, so you can also see this book as a kind of chance, maybe this is something you should be destined to get."

Harry nodded.

Then he exclaimed, "This book can't be Voldemort's, right?" ”

"You think too much, Voldemort thought of a name for himself as early as when he was in school, Tom Riddle scrambled the order of the letters, so he wouldn't give himself such a name, and Voldemort supported the theory of pure learning, and he wouldn't use a title like the half-blood prince when he was a student, the half-blood prince was more like a half-blood wizard, although Voldemort was also a half-blood, but he would never use this."

"Half-blood wizards?" Harry seemed to figure out why he was called the Half-Blood Prince.

"All in all, Harry, the half-blood prince you rely on is still not as powerful as the Spelled Prince." Hermione was holding Sherlock's sixth-year textbook and looking at Harry with pride, when a scream of fear disturbed the quiet atmosphere.

"What's going on?" Everyone else was taken aback.

"Mr. Sherlock, it's over there." Lu Bo was the first to identify the direction of the sound.

That direction was some distance away from Hogwarts, and close to Hogsmeade.
