Hogwarts: From Luna's family to god

The silver magic prop changed its appearance and was similar to the cross-shaped python pattern. The only difference was that the pattern on the python was still a common pattern in ritual magic.

Weizet quickly asked: "Principal Dumbledore, is this the... curse left by Voldemort?"

"Perhaps this is one of the sources of his power." Dumbledore nodded slowly, looking at the silver magic props, his expression much gentler than before.

"Actually... I thought it would be the shape of the Dark Mark, but I didn't expect it to be like this... It's better this way... it's much more beautiful!"

"Principal Dumbledore, the Dark Mark you are talking about..." He took out his wand and waved it gently, "Is it like this? It's full of smoke!"

The tip of the wand spit out a stream of smoke, forming the shape of a skull in the air. The skull opened its jaws and spit out a thick python.

"Yes..." Dumbledore looked at the Dark Mark and nodded slowly, "This is the Dark Mark. Could it be... that the spell you obtained at the beginning took on this form?"

"Ho! You..." Dobby woke up leisurely, and after seeing the Dark Mark, he fainted instantly, and his head hit the ground with a "bang" sound.

"Yes!" Weizet waved the wand again, letting the smoke screen dissipate in the air. "I will pass out in the secret room later. Maybe part of the reason is that it has changed and turned into a pure python pattern."

Recalling what he said just now, he couldn't help but continue to ask: "Principal Dumbledore, you also know the curse... and you said that if there is no reaction, that is the best result. Why is this?"

Chapter 183 The Contract of the Spell

Dumbledore's eyes became complicated and he said in a deep voice: "The spell is an extremely ancient magical power. It may even be earlier than ritual magic, such as Niven..."

"Through the act of 'concluding a magic contract', you gain some kind of power... and you must also obey the contract and accept the restrictions brought by the contract."

"Magic contract?" Wizette noticed Dumbledore's complicated eyes and looked at the silver magic item again.

"Is it a magical contract similar to the 'Unbreakable Vow'? If you violate the contract, the price you need to pay is... your life?"

"This is one of the known punishments..." Dumbledore sighed softly, "As for what other consequences it will have, I'm not sure."

"That's why I don't want you to get the spell. Maybe it will bring some improvement, but it will take a lifetime to bear the contract..."

"It doesn't matter to me, but you... Weizet, you are still very young, and you have unlimited possibilities. The curse may not be a gift to you, but a restriction."

Weizet immediately asked, "Having to bear the contract for the rest of my life? If I violate the contract, will it affect the people around me? How should I understand...what exactly is the contract with me?"

"Honestly, this is my first time encountering such a thing, so I don't know..." Dumbledore crossed his fingers and circled his thumbs back and forth.

He picked up the pen and paper on the desk, "Normally, if you want to conclude a spell contract, you must have already determined a certain spell..."

"You need this as your goal to complete the spell contract and find a suitable place with a clear purpose... a suitable time period..."

As Dumbledore spoke, he wrote down what he said, "In addition to these, we must also consider suitable ritual magic... suitable magic props... and various auxiliary conditions..."

His writing is fast and steady, and he can leave corresponding handwriting on the paper almost as soon as he finishes speaking.

"When all conditions are ready, the curse will call you, and you need to respond to the call from the curse..."

"With the conclusion of the spell contract, you must live according to the spell, and the spell will begin to take effect." As his words fell, the last stroke was just finished writing.

While listening to what Dumbledore said, Weizet reviewed Salazar Slytherin's memory of raising the basilisk. After sorting out the two, he discovered the similarities between them.

For example, Salazar Slytherin's choice to cultivate a basilisk in the secret room was a choice of location, and the alchemy magic circle and the ritual magic circle were suitable ritual magic;

Corresponding to the call issued by the curse, after Salazar Slytherin communicated with the basilisk egg, the basilisk egg responded by shaking...

…

Weizet looked at the clearly listed parchment and said, "Principal Dumbledore, if I want to know the contents of the contract between myself and the curse, I need to repeat these steps. Is it understandable?"

"I can't guarantee it." Dumbledore shook his head and knocked on the desk with his fingers. A tea set and several exquisite refreshments appeared out of thin air on the desk.

"Because your situation is very special, I don't have a better way for the time being... Recreating the process of concluding the spell contract will allow you to obtain complete information about the spell. It's worth a try."

"Then I'll try this method first!" Wizette murmured, "Principal Dumbledore, I'll design the entire process first. If there are any problems, please help me point them out!"

Seeing Weizet's serious expression, Dumbledore stroked his beard and a smile appeared on his face, "Of course, I'm happy to help!"

Seeing such an expression shows that Wizette accepted the situation very quickly, and was not discouraged in any way, and was actively looking for solutions.

…

Dumbledore picked up the teapot and began to pour tea. "I see you seem very confident, so where do you think we should start?"

"Thank you!" Vizette took the teacup handed to him. "It's not that I'm confident, but I think since it has happened, it would be better to solve the problem first."

"Of course, this is indeed better!" Dumbledore smiled appreciatively and added a few sugar cubes to his teacup.

Vizette took out his notebook and began to write, "A suitable place... the fourth floor... the room where the Mirror of Erised was once placed..."

"In addition, Salazar Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets should also need to be verified. Neither of these two places can be missed..."

"A suitable time period... The encounter with Voldemort last school year was at night, and I suddenly fainted yesterday at night... It should be at midnight... The time is set at midnight..."

"A suitable ritual magic..." He took a sip of tea and thought of the ritual magic circle transformed from the alchemical magic circle in Salazar Slytherin's memory.

He took the wand and placed it against his temple, casting mental magic to find the memory related to it, and finally managed to draw the ritual magic circle, and then marked some points of attention.

"Duplicate it!" He tapped the wand on the notebook, cast the copy spell, and copied the page of the ritual magic circle.

"Principal Dumbledore, take a look at this ritual magic circle, can it be used directly?"

Dumbledore took the page, "Okay! Let me see..."

The situation was indeed as he imagined, and Vizet was actively looking for a solution.

Perhaps it should be said that the whole process was smoother than he thought, which made him very relieved.

I think it was because of this relief that Snape kept the weekly private lessons after the end of the last school year.

...

While Dumbledore carefully examined the pages, Vizet continued to improve the process of concluding the spell contract based on relevant memories and his own understanding of ritual magic.

He would also ask Dumbledore from time to time, trying to understand all the things he didn't understand and help him better understand the spell.

Through such answers and doubts, he also realized that he did not have a high demand for magic props and auxiliary items, and finally determined the only auxiliary item - the snake slough fragment of the basilisk.

In this process, he also sorted out the entire order of the spell. The first was the encounter with Voldemort last school year, and he got the spell by chance;

The second was the encounter last night, because touching the snake slough fragment of the basilisk inspired the "Wizard's Practical Guide", and the "Spell" was recorded in the "Wizard's Practical Guide".

Based on the previous things, he came to the current judgment - if he wants to reproduce the process of the spell contract, the snake slough fragment of the basilisk is the key condition.

After determining this key point, the entire process of concluding the spell contract was basically perfected by Vizet.

After all, with the process of Salazar Slytherin training the basilisk as a reference, and Dumbledore answering questions on the side, it is not too difficult to complete all this...

Chapter 184 The Curse Contract Signed in 1945

Dumbledore put down the page of the ritual magic circle and murmured: "It is more complete than I thought... except that some lines are not round enough, and I can't find any place to modify."

"I am really not good at painting." Vizette smiled slightly, and suddenly thought of Luna who is good at painting.

In fact, compared with some time ago, his painting skills have improved now.

After all, when he was drawing the magic circuit of the elf, Luna would always correct him on the side, giving him many opportunities to learn and improve.

"No one is omnipotent." Dumbledore blinked, "About those auxiliary items... Do you only need the snake slough fragments of the basilisk?"

"Yes!" Vizet nodded heavily, "Because I already have the spell, I just want to know the content of the contract and the effect of the spell."

"The role of the auxiliary props is to guide me to find the answers to all this, rather than to facilitate the conclusion of the spell contract."

Dumbledore smiled with satisfaction and asked casually: "You seem to know the spell very well... Is it because of the help of other guardians?"

"The reason why I suddenly fainted last night is because of this..." Vizet said truthfully, "Until you tell me the details of the spell tonight, I can connect them together."

"This is not surprising." Dumbledore drank the black tea in one gulp, looking at Vizet with a sincere face, with some emotion.

In fact, when he chatted with Harry in the morning, he mentioned the matter of Parseltongue.

At that time, he asked Harry if he heard any strange movements on the night of the Halloween dinner.

Harry's reaction was different from that of Vizet. He stood there in silence for a while, and finally shook his head and said nothing.

However, Harry was willing to keep Vizet's matter secret and would not tell about what happened last night.

In fact, Harry needed to drink raw primate bones last night, and generally no one would ask him about this.

With the discussion that started in the morning, it was difficult for students to tell who they heard about the attack on Colin's camera last night.

Vizet said, "Principal Dumbledore, there is still a long time before midnight. Regarding the basilisk snake slough fragments and ritual magic circle, shall I go and prepare now?"

"Oh?" Dumbledore thought for a moment, "How are you going to tell Severus?"

Vizet said without hesitation: "Just tell Professor Snape the truth."

"Hmm..." Dumbledore murmured, "Let me do this? Including the ritual magic circle, it's just a piece of cake."

Vizet looked at the teacup in front of him in silence for a while, then slowly said: "Principal Dumbledore, do you think Professor Snape... will conclude a spell with particularly strict conditions?"

Dumbledore's face was not surprised at all, "It seems that you have a lot of understanding of Severus' past..."

He nodded very straightforwardly, "I do worry about this... Judging from the time of this attack, Maybe Voldemort has not been truly destroyed yet. "

"Before we can fully understand his secrets, it is not worth paying any price. Only by understanding the secret of Voldemort's comeback can the next action be more meaningful."

"So... at least before that, I don't want Severus to come into contact with the curse. He is a very talented wizard and still very young, and should not be dominated by the curse."

"The more powerful the curse, the more stringent the contract that needs to be fulfilled. Perhaps for those who are eager for quick success, the curse is the fastest way to make people stronger."

"But... as a person who has been through it, I must say that the curse is a shackle, and using it is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst, and it is a last resort. "
