Chapter 143 [The Hand of the Mage and the Ministry of Magic Encountered]
After being verbally attacked by Malfoy, Harry looked a little lost, and the whole person staggered upstairs.
He is not afraid that he will be targeted by murderers, he only fears that he will cause trouble for his friends.
And Roque actually brought himself out of the Dursley family at such a critical moment, which made Harry both touched and helpless.
Roark is great, needless to say.
Thinking like this, Harry opened the door, and as soon as he opened it, he heard Roque muttering to himself, "...... I don't have the money to pay for the room again. β
Harry patted his chest when he heard this, walked into the room and said, "Don't worry, Roque, I still have quite a few Galleons!" β
Harry is a real rich second generation.
The legacy of the Potter family alone is enough for him, and if nothing else, the legacy of the future Sirius Black family is also Harry Potter's, which is the inheritance of one of the Twenty-Eight Holy Clans.
ββ¦β¦β
Harry's generosity left the rest of Roque's manuscript stillborn.
Although he knew that Harry was rich, he didn't expect to be hooked so easily, which made Roque a little embarrassed.
Roque waved his hand, and a dark blue, somewhat transparent palm appeared on Harry's suitcase, and he lifted it over.
"Your luggage is here."
"Oh, thank you." Harry happily took the luggage, which contained his homework.
Harry really wanted to do his homework, but when he was at Dursley's house, he was always forced to write late at night, because his aunt always locked spell books and wands in the storage room under the stairs.
If he hadn't finished his homework this time like last year, Professor Snape would have taken the opportunity to trouble him when school started.
After Harry took the luggage from the dark blue hand, he then realized something, he looked at the somewhat transparent, dark blue hand and was stunned: "Roque? This... What kind of magic is this? β
Finally noticed......
As a friend, Roque didn't want to prostitute Harry for nothing, he planned to teach Harry a few hands by the way, which would definitely not be a loss for Harry.
"I named this trick the Mage's Hand, a very practical spell, if you want to learn it, I can teach you ......"
"No, forget it." Harry hurriedly shook his head, "The Flying Spell you taught me before the holidays, the fourth-year spell, I haven't learned it for a long time, and now I just have a little eyebrows. β
That's because you're lazy, well, and maybe there's a reason why Dursley won't let you practice magic......
Roque sighed, after two years of study, Harry's grades are better than the original, he thought Harry would improve, but he didn't expect that in the end he was still a single-celled creature, if Hermione was here, he would have pestered him to beg him to teach.
"It's a shame, this is my proudest move so far." Roque withdrew the invisible hand.
"The most proud?" Harry was puzzled: "Including your Patronus Charm?" β
"Yes, including my Patronus Charm."
Now, Harry was interested, but he didn't want to learn it, but he wanted to hear Roque talk about the origin of this trick.
Harry used to quote interesting things from the scriptures when he learned a new spell, and Harry enjoyed the feeling of that knowledge flowing through his brain, and sometimes remembered historical figures, such as "The Invincible Andros" related to the Patronus Charm.
Roque's story is much more interesting than that of the Hogwarts professor of the history of magic, whose ghost professor always seems to have hypnotic magic in his speech.
Harry took a blanket from the side, curled up beside the fire, and asked Roque curiously, "What's so good about him?" If you're holding something, you can do it with the levitation charm. β
Harry was happy now, because the two of them were sitting here together, and it made Harry feel like he was back two years ago, before he was at Hogwarts, when he and Roque were also sitting here discussing magic and the future.
Roque looked down and thought about it, then his fingers moved slightly, and the dark blue transparent hand, the mage's hand, reappeared.
The reason why it is called the Mage's Hand is DND, and there is also a game Baldur's Gate that Roque played in his previous life, because the appearance is very similar, so Roque gave this name.
The actual creation of this spell stems from Roque's earliest doubts about "waves", when he wondered why magic needed to put one directional beam after another, and discussed it with Professor Flitwick.
At that time, Professor Flitwick said that the earliest ancient magic did not need to be unwavered, but later there was a reform, and this modern magic that required unwavering, duel casting was faster, more effective, and had a lower threshold, so it quickly became popular.
As a result of this discussion, Flitwick also took Roark to meet Headmaster Dumbledore, from whom Roque obtained a wizarding guide, in which he also learned about ancient magic and some advanced techniques for the use of magic.
And in the process of continuous learning, Roque also gradually accepted the common sense that this modern magic needs to be released.
Ancient magic is like "seeing a mountain is a mountain", but the simplicity of modern magic has reached the realm of "seeing a mountain is not a mountain".
But after acquiring otherworldly knowledge, Roque has some new perspectives: "Harry, do you remember when you didn't study magic in the first place? β
Harry: "Of course I remember looking forward to it, wanting to learn magic right away, and being curious about Hogwarts. β
"I'm not asking this, I'm asking what you first imagined about magic?" Roque thought for a moment and added, "It should be said that what was the original imagination of human beings about supernatural powers? β
"Uh......" The single-celled organism suddenly couldn't react.
Roque continued: "The answer is not uniform, but I would say that it is three heads and six arms. β
"Harry, you know what? Ancient fantasy, whether it's monster design or whatever, they always add a little bit of something on top of the existing elements that shouldn't be on top of it.
And the idea of human beings at that time was also very unpretentious, "If only I had more hands, then I would have more strength and I could do more work", "If I had more heads, I would be smarter than others." β
In the process of continuous thinking, human beings have gradually discovered the essence of their own demands, the so-called three heads and six arms, in fact, they want to easily have productivity beyond ordinary people. β
Roque manipulated the mage's hand to take out a few books from the bookshelf on the side and put them in front of Harry: "These are the closest Muggles, and the most common superpower in them is telekinesis. β
"Mindfulness combines brain power and arms, and people begin to fantasize that they have an invisible hand, and now, this invisible hand, is ...... in front of us"
Harry picked up the blanket and continued, "Sounds strong...... But what this hand can do, the levitation spell is still the same, right? I don't think he's more powerful than your Patronus Charm. β
"The hand is just the way I keep it now, because when I have the idea of 'take', the easiest thing to condense is the hand, and he can be transformed into something elseβ" Roque said, and the somewhat transparent hand turned into a blue knight's sword.
It looks like the Kalia Sword in the Ring!
The pyroxene magic and the royal magic of the Kalia in the magic ring did give Roque a lot of inspiration for the use of energy.
Harry's eyes widened instantly, he had said that this magic could be used in close combat, and he regretted it a little now, regretting that he hadn't learned it just now.
Seeing Harry's appearance, Roque sighed slightly, he knew that turning into a sword was more attractive, but turning into a sword was just looking fancy, this was not the essence of this spell.
Not only did the knowledge of the ring inspire Roque, but Roque's own experience in the application of the ancient magic of the Patronus Charm in the past two years also played a key role in the development of this spell.
"Colors and shapes can be canceled by the wizard himself, no matter what the mage's hand becomes, it can become transparent, and even become an animal." Roque said with a deep gaze.
Harry was suddenly a little surprised: "Turning into an animal? That...... Isn't it a Patronus Charm? β
"That's right." With Inhuman's innate ability, Roque has a better grasp of emotions, and the blue knight's sword turns into a wolf in an instant: "When you infuse it with extremely positive happiness and then turn it into a Patronus, then he is the Patronus Charm." β
"And when he becomes an invisible blade, it becomes a torn apart."
"Give this blade again, use negative emotions to add some [difficult to heal] characteristics, this is the blade without a shadow."
"Let him turn into an invisible shield and put it on his body, and it will become an armor and a protective body."
"If you turn into a flame, you can turn into a flame, and if you turn into light, you can turn into a fluorescent flicker."
This so-called mage's hand is not a mage's hand, but refers to the essence of most of the magic that Roque has accidentally discovered.
In the beginning, Roque just wanted to pursue a magical stance, or rather realm.
Roark didn't want the "Remove Your Weapon" magic that would only work when the beam hit an enemy, so what difference was there between holding a wand and holding a gun, bullets could be faster.
So Roque hoped that when he remembered a thought, the magic would have taken effect within a certain range.
This is the final realm of "seeing the mountain or the mountain" that he is pursuing.
Originally, the idea of this field was pinned on the strange gate of the Inhumans, or to find a way to find a breakthrough from the local magic array and ritual magic.
But the ring inspired him even more in terms of energy control, and he seemed to have found a part of the essence of magic at once.
Yes, partially. For example, restoring to the original involves the rules of time, and its bottom layer is not the same as your weapon, and it does not need to release any light waves itself......
But it doesn't matter, Roque already has an idea about the study of time, and a good student like him can apply for a big killer like a time turner if he chooses a few more courses this semester.
In addition, magic such as the Loyalty Charm, the Flashback Charm, and the Animagus Charm cannot be understood by Roque.
Moreover, in Roque's eyes, this mage's hand is still far from the position and field he originally conceived, and it can only be regarded as finding some commonalities in magic.
But this was already a bit scary in Harry's eyes, he was no longer the child who had not been exposed to magic two years ago......
The more he knew, the more he realized his ignorance, and Roque's simple magic trick really shocked Harry.
He even suspected that the so-called heinous murderer, even if he really found the door, might not be Roque's opponent.
My previous worries were a bit unnecessary.
For a moment, Harry was a little shaken, and he went to sleep in a daze.
β¦β¦
As the days passed, An's birthday at the Leaky Cauldron Bar didn't stay for a few days, and the place was lively again.
Because school is about to start, most of the students have come to Diagon Alley to start preparing for the school year with some textbooks and necessities.
Harry was fully dressed and ran to Roque's room to take a look, and found that the other party had already gotten up.
In the past few days, Roque will disappear if he has nothing to do, it seems that he has gone to the side of Tumbledown Alley, Harry originally wanted to persuade Roque, but thinking of the strength of the other party, he felt that maybe it was the dark wizards who should be worried.
Passing Roque's room, Harry headed down the stairs.
"I already know, Roque was brewing wolf poison potions, I guessed right, huh...... Werewolves are really a force to be reckoned with, and if you think about it, there were a lot of werewolves under the mysterious man at that time......"
It was Malfoy's voice, and the other party was inexplicably speculating about Roque again.
"I also saw that the book that Roque bought before was about wand making." This time it was Crabbe, who was next to Malfoy, whispering.
"Well, dark wizards do need spare wands, especially those that aren't traced by the Ministry of Magic, which is important to dark wizards, that's what my father told me." Malfoy nodded, "But since Roque wants to learn wand making, I probably know what to give......
Harry wasn't listening, the words between them were ridiculous, it seemed that Roque was a dark wizard in addition to being the Dark Lord......
"Harry! Harry! Ron beckoned to Harry, and the family was sitting at the innermost end of the Leaky Cauldron, not far away from Hermione's family.
Harry was also happy to see Ron. Recently, Ron's family won the grand prize of 700 gold Galleons, and the family traveled to Egypt and appeared in the newspapers.
Harry remembered that Roque had been on the Knight's Bus before, and he had asked the gossip conductor for the newspaper that Ron was on the news.
Roque still seemed to be staring at Ron...... It should have been the mouse in Ron's hand that looked at it carefully for a while.
Harry observed this, so he wrote to Ron about the rats, and Ron said that the last month was his lucky month, the family won the jackpot, and bought him a new wand, and even his sister Ginny said: Brother, our family has money.
What's more, the former pet Spotted suddenly came home by himself, and this feeling of being lost and regained made Ron even happier.
It's been a great month for him.
"Harry, look! A brand new wand, fourteen inches long, wicker, with a unicorn's tail hair. Ron shouted happily at Harry with his new wand.
"It's beautiful, but you've been traveling, did you write your holiday homework?"
"Shhh, be quiet, I told my mom that I had already finished writing before she would take me out, but it doesn't matter, I calculated, there is still time left, I plan to stay up late at school to copy Roque's homework."
Well...... This is a normal peer!
After looking at Roque for a long time, and then at Ron, Harry was immediately relieved.
But when he turned his head, he saw three bulging school bags on the table: "Uh...... Who are these for? How did I buy so many books. β
"Hermione's, it seems? She seems to have taken a lot of classes? Ron said uncertainly.
Seeing that someone's mood was so delicate, Harry suddenly became anxious again.
"Don't worry so much." Ron patted Harry on the shoulder, "I've never seen Roque bring so many books, and she is no match for Roque no matter how much she studies." β
"Ahem!" Hermione quietly walked over to the two of them, "Roark has few books, just because he has cast a Traceless Stretching Charm on his suitcase, in fact he has brought at least one room of books. β
"And he's taken a lot of classes this semester!"
"I don't understand......," Harry shook his head, "Have you two taken so many lessons?" β
Of course, it was just that Professor McGonagall wouldn't let me say it. Hermione whispered inwardly.
Only she and Roque knew about it, and the professor applied for a time turner for them so that they could have many classes at the same time.
Hermione still had a little bit of her own thoughts, shared secrets, and a lot of time together...... This semester has been just amazing!
"Of course I can't get up! This semester is terrible! β
At some point, Roque came over with a gloomy face, as terrifying as a cloudy day in London.
"Roque...... Did something happen? Hermione asked after a moment's hesitation, a little worried that Roque was angry that he didn't like studying with her.
Roque didn't speak, just glanced at it, he didn't see the damn mouse, otherwise he really wanted to ask, what the hell was his schizophrenic Lord Voldemort trying to do?
He showed everyone the newspaper he had picked up from Tumbledown Alleyβ
The Ministry of Magic has been dealt a major blow! The aftermath of the battle has led to the destruction of the Department of Mysteries! γ
"The Mystery Man Strikes Again? The Minister of Magic flatly denied it, claiming that Sirius was responsible.
Among them, the most regrettable thing for Roque is that all the time turners are in the mysterious office......
Maybe there is a backup, but it certainly won't be used by the students anymore.
