Chapter 144 [The Hand of the Mage and the Attack on the Ministry of Magic]

After being verbally attacked by Malfoy, Harry seemed a little lost and staggered upstairs.

He was not afraid of being targeted by the murderer, he was only worried that he would cause trouble to his friends.

And Rock actually took him out of the Dursleys at such a critical moment, which made Harry both moved and helpless.

Rock is great, no need to say more.

Thinking of this, Harry opened the door and heard Rock muttering to himself: "...I have no money to pay the rent again."

Harry patted his chest and walked into the house and said: "Don't worry, Rock, I still have a lot of Galleons!"

Harry is a real rich second generation.

The inheritance of the Potter family alone is enough for him to make. If nothing unexpected happens, the inheritance of Sirius' Black family in the future will also belong to Harry Potter, which is the inheritance of one of the twenty-eight sacred families.

"..."

Harry's generosity made Rock's remaining manuscripts die in the womb.

Although he knew Harry was rich, he didn't expect him to be so easily hooked, which made Rock feel a little embarrassed.

Rock waved his hand, and a blue, somewhat transparent hand appeared on Harry's suitcase and lifted the luggage.

"Your luggage is all 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 the Dursleys', he was always forced to do it late at night because his aunt always locked the spell books and wands in the storage room under the stairs.

If he didn't finish his homework this time like last year, Professor Snape would definitely take the opportunity to make trouble for him when school started.

After Harry took the luggage from the blue hand, he realized something. He looked at the somewhat transparent, blue hand and was stunned: "Rock? What...what kind of magic is this?"

Finally noticed...

As a friend, Rock didn't want to get Harry for free. He planned to teach Harry a few tricks by the way, which was definitely not a loss for Harry.

"I named this move the Mage's Hand. It's a very practical spell. If you want to learn it, I can teach you..."

"No, forget it." Harry shook his head hurriedly. "The Spell you taught me before the holiday is a spell for the fourth grade. I haven't learned it for a long time. Now I just have some clues."

That's because you are lazy. Well, maybe it's also because Dursley doesn't let you practice magic...

Rock sighed. After two years of study, Harry's grades are better than the original. He thought Harry would make progress, but he didn't expect that he would still be a single-celled organism in the end. If Hermione was here, she would have pestered him to teach her.

"What a pity, this is my most proud move at the moment." Rock retracted this invisible hand.

"Most proud?" Harry was puzzled: "Does it also include your Patronus Charm?"

"Yes, including my Patronus Charm."

This time, Harry was interested, but he didn't want to learn it, but wanted to hear Rock talk about the origin of this move.

In the past, when Rock learned a new spell, he would quote some interesting knowledge from classics. Harry enjoyed the feeling of this knowledge flowing through his brain, and sometimes he could remember some historical figures, such as "Andros the Invincible" related to the Patronus Charm.

Rock's stories were much more interesting than those of the History of Magic professor at Hogwarts. Their ghost professor seemed to have the power of hypnosis when he spoke.

Harry took a blanket from the side, curled up next to the stove, and asked Rock curiously: "What's so good about him? If it's about taking things, the levitation spell can also do it."

Harry was very happy now, because the two of them sitting here together made Harry feel as if he had returned to two years ago, before he entered Hogwarts, when he was sitting here with Rock to discuss magic and the future.

Rock lowered his head and thought for a while, then his fingers moved slightly, and this blue transparent hand, the wizard's hand, appeared again.

The reason why it is called the Mage's Hand is that the name comes from DND and Baldur's Gate, a game Rock played in his previous life. Because the appearance is very similar, Rock gave it this name.

The actual creation of this spell originated from Rock's earliest question about "waves". At that time, he was puzzled as to why magic needed to release directional beams one after another, and he also discussed it with Professor Flitwick.

At that time, Professor Flitwick said that the earliest ancient magic did not need to release waves, but later there was a reform. This kind of modern magic that needs to release waves has faster duel casting, better effectiveness, and lower threshold, so it quickly became popular.

Because of this discussion, Flitwick also took Rock to see Principal Dumbledore. Rock got a wizard's practical guide from Principal Dumbledore. In this book, he also learned ancient magic and some advanced application skills of magic.

In the process of continuous learning, Rock gradually accepted the common sense that modern magic needs to release waves.

Ancient magic is like "seeing a mountain as a mountain", while modern magic is simple and gets to the point, which has reached the level of "seeing a mountain as not a mountain".

But after constantly acquiring knowledge from other worlds, Rock has some new views: "Harry, do you remember what you looked like when you first didn't learn magic?"

Harry: "Of course I remember, I was very excited at that time, and I couldn't wait to learn magic, and I was full of curiosity about Hogwarts."

"I don't want to ask this, I want to ask what your initial imagination of magic was." Rock thought for a moment and added: "It should be said that what was the initial imagination of human beings for supernatural powers?"

"Uh..." The single-celled organism was overwhelmed.

Rock continued: "The answers are not unified, but I would say it is three heads and six arms."

"Harry, do you know? In ancient fantasy, whether it is monster design or something else, they always add something that shouldn't be there on top of the existing elements.

And the thoughts of humans at that time were also very simple, "If I had more hands, I would be stronger and could do more work", "If I had more heads, I would be smarter than others. "

As humans continue to think, they gradually discover the essence of their own demands. The so-called three heads and six arms is actually to easily possess productivity beyond ordinary people."

Rock manipulated the wizard's hand and took out a few books from the bookshelf beside him and placed them in front of Harry: "These are the latest novels of Muggles. The most common superpower in them is telekinesis."

"Telekinesis combines brain power and arms. People began to imagine that they have an invisible hand. Now, this invisible hand is right in front of us..."

Harry picked up the blanket and continued to ask: "It sounds very strong... But what this hand can do, the floating spell can still be done? I don't think it is more powerful than your Patronus Charm."

"The hand is just the shape I maintain now, because when I have the idea of ​​'taking', the easiest thing to condense is the hand, and it can also change into other shapes-" Rock said, and this somewhat transparent hand turned into a blue knight sword.

The shape is the Kalia Swift Sword in the magic ring!

The pyroxene magic and Kalia royal magic in the magic ring did give Rock a lot of inspiration on the use of energy.

Harry's eyes widened instantly. He had been told that this magic could be used in close combat. He was a little regretful now. He regretted not learning it just now.

Seeing Harry's appearance, Rock sighed slightly. He knew that turning into a sword would be more attractive, but turning into a sword was just fancy, which was not the essence of this spell.

Not only did the knowledge of the magic circle inspire Rock, but Rock's own experience in applying the ancient magic of the Patronus Charm in the past two years also played a key role in the development of this spell.

"Color and shape can be canceled by the wizard himself. No matter what the wizard's hand becomes, it can be transparent or even an animal." Rock said with a deep look.

Harry was a little surprised: "Turn into an animal? Then... isn't it the Patronus Charm?"

"That's right." With the innate supernatural power of the alien, Rock's control of emotions is even better. The azure knight's sword turned into a wolf in an instant: "When you inject extremely positive and happy emotions, turn it into a patronus, then it is the Patronus Charm."

"And when it becomes an invisible blade, it becomes torn into pieces."

"Give this blade some [difficult to heal] characteristics by using negative emotions, and this is the God of Shadowlessness."

"Turn it into an invisible shield and add it to your body, and it will become armor to protect you."

"Turn it into flames and it will be blazing flames, and turn it into light and it will also be flickering fluorescent lights."

This so-called wizard's hand is not the wizard's hand, but refers to the essence of most magic that Rock accidentally discovered.

At the beginning, Rock just wanted to pursue a magical stance, or field.

Rock didn't want the magic of "disarming you", which would only take effect when the beam hits the enemy. In that case, what's the difference between holding a wand and holding a gun, and the bullet might be faster.

So Rock hoped that when he thought of it, the magic would be effective within a certain range.

This was the final state of "seeing the mountain as the mountain" that he pursued.

Originally, the idea of ​​this field was to rely on the strange gates of the aliens, or to find a breakthrough from the local magic circle and ritual magic.

But the magic ring inspired him more in terms of energy control, and he seemed to have found part of the essence of magic at once.

Yes, part. For example, restoration involves the rules of time, and its bottom layer is different from the weapon of elimination, and it does not need to release any light waves...

But it doesn't matter, Rock has an idea about the study of time. This semester, a good student like him can choose a few more courses and apply for a killer weapon like the time converter.

In addition, Rock has no way to understand the essence of magic like the Fidelius Charm, the Flashback Charm, and the Animagus.

And in Rock's eyes, the magician's hand is still far from the position and field he originally envisioned, and it can only be regarded as finding the commonality of some magic.

But this was a bit scary in Harry's eyes. He was no longer the kid who had never been exposed to magic two years ago...

The more he knew, the more he realized his ignorance. Rock's simple spell really shocked Harry.

He even suspected that the so-called vicious murderer might not be Rock's opponent even if he really came to his door.

His previous worries were really unnecessary.

For a moment, Harry was a little dazed and went to sleep in a daze.

...

Days passed, and the peaceful days in the Leaky Cauldron did not last for a few days. The place became lively again.

Because school will start soon, most students have come to Diagon Alley to start preparing textbooks and other necessities for the school year.

Harry got dressed and ran to Rock's room to take a look and found that he had indeed gotten up.

In the past few days, Roark would disappear if he had something to do. It seemed that he was going to Knockturn Alley. Harry originally wanted to persuade Roark, but thinking about his strength, he thought that maybe it was the dark wizards who should be worried. .

Passing Roark's room, Harry walked towards the bottom of the stairs.

"I already know that Rock was brewing wolfsbane potion before. I guessed it right. Well... werewolves are indeed a force that cannot be ignored. If you think about it carefully, the mysterious man also had many werewolves under his command at that time..."

It was Malfoy's voice, and the other party was inexplicably speculating on Roark again.

"I also saw that the book Roark bought before was about wand making." This time it was Crabbe beside Malfoy who whispered softly.

"Well, dark wizards do need spare wands, especially wands that have not been traced by the Ministry of Magic. They are very important to dark wizards. This is what my father told me." Malfoy nodded: "But since Roark If you want to learn wand making, then I probably know what to give..."

Harry stopped listening. The words between them were too ridiculous. It seemed that besides being the Dark Lord, Rock was also a Dark Wizard...

"Harry! Harry!" Ron waved to Harry. Their family was sitting at the very back of the Leaky Cauldron. Not far away was Hermione's family.

Harry was also happy to see Ron. Recently, Ron's family won a grand prize of 700 gold galleons, and the family went to Egypt for a trip, which was even published in the newspaper.

Harry remembered that Roark was on the Knight Bus before and asked the gossipy conductor for the newspaper in which Ron was in the news.

Rock seemed to be staring at Ron... it was probably the mouse in Ron's hand that he looked at carefully for a while.

Harry noticed this, so he wrote to Ron specifically to ask about rats. Ron said that the last month was his lucky month. His family won a big prize and bought him a new wand. His sister Ginny also said the same thing when she opened her mouth: Brother, our family is rich.

What's more important is that his former pet Scabbers suddenly came home. This feeling of regaining his lost pet made Ron even happier.

This month could not have been better for him.

"Harry, look! Brand new wand, fourteen inches long, wicker, with a unicorn tail hair." Ron shouted happily towards Harry while holding the new wand.

"It's beautiful, but you have been traveling. Have you done your holiday homework?"

"Shh, keep your voice down. I told my mother that I had finished writing a long time ago before she would take me out. But it doesn't matter. I have calculated it. I still have time left. I plan to stay up late at school and copy Roque's homework. "

Well... these are normal people of the same age!

After looking at Roark for a long time and then looking at Ron, Harry suddenly felt relieved.

But he turned around and saw three bulging schoolbags on the table: "Uh...whose are these? Why did you buy so many books?"

"It seems to be Hermione's? She seems to have chosen a lot of classes?" Ron said uncertainly.

It was so subtle to see someone being involved, and Harry suddenly became anxious again.

"Don't worry so much." Ron patted Harry on the shoulder: "I have never seen Rock bring so many books. She will never be Rock's opponent no matter how hard she learns."

"Ahem!" Hermione walked up to the two of them quietly: "Rock brought few books just because he cast a traceless stretching spell on his suitcase. In fact, he brought at least a room full of books. "

“And he’s taking a lot of classes this semester!”

"I don't understand..." Harry shook his head: "Have you two taken so many classes?"

Of course I could come, it’s just that Professor McGonagall wouldn’t let me talk. Hermione whispered in her mind.

Only she and Rock knew about it, and the professor applied for time-turners for them so they could take many classes at the same time.

Hermione still has a little secret of her own, a shared secret, and a lot of time together... which is great this semester!

"Of course I can't make it! This semester is terrible!"

At some point, Rock came over with a gloomy face, his face as terrifying as a cloudy day in London.

"Rock...what happened?" Hermione asked after hesitating. She was a little worried that Rock was angry because he didn't like studying with her.

Rock didn't speak, just glanced around. He didn't see the damn mouse, otherwise he would have really wanted to ask, what on earth did his schizophrenic Lord Voldemort want to do?

He showed everyone the newspaper he got from Knockturn Alley——

"The Ministry of Magic has suffered a major blow!" The aftermath of the battle resulted in the destruction of the Department of Mysteries! 》

"The Mysterious Man Attacks Again?" The Minister of Magic denied it, claiming that it was Sirius who did it"

What makes Rock regret the most is that all the time turners are in the mysterious office...

Maybe there is a backup, but it certainly won't be used by students anymore.
