Chapter 69: Caught in one go! Refined in an instant! [3rd update]
Snape was certainly not crazy.
He simply didn't want to see Ian still struggling to divide the spoils, so he tossed his cloak behind him.
He turned around and chose a longer route to return to his safe house.
Along the way.
Many of the young wizards saw the gloomy-faced Headmaster of Slytherin. No one dared to speak to him or provoke him, for the old bat would kick even a passing toad.
someone said.
No one saw Snape again that day.
Some people say that...
Snape captured several disobedient young wizards and reinstated the infamous flogging punishment that Hogwarts had once practiced.
He conducted inhumane experiments all day long in his office.
No matter how flawed and untenable this claim may be, it did not hinder its rapid spread, and the students of Gryffindor played an indispensable role in this.
They always enjoyed telling the increasingly outrageous Snape rumors to everyone they met.
"Did you hear? Snape actually gave Ravenclaw extra points!"
"What? Has Snape gone mad?"
"Snape has finally gone mad! He'll definitely use evil magic to kill us all!"
The very beginning of the rumor.
Perhaps it was just a well-meaning young wizard who attended this Potions class and wanted to express that Snape was not quite what the rumors said, but unfortunately, Snape's image in the minds of the young wizards at Hogwarts was too deeply ingrained over the years.
Ian might bear some responsibility for this, but it's highly unlikely he will. What does Gryffin's extra effort have to do with Ravenclaw?
"Wait for my good news, I'll start making it soon."
Having said goodbye to Aurora, who strongly agreed with his alchemical philosophy, Ian began exploring Hogwarts Castle. The first week of school wasn't particularly demanding for the young wizards.
There's one class in the morning and one in the afternoon, with the rest of the time being free. Perhaps this can be considered a tradition, allowing the young wizards time to discover the castle's secrets.
As an ancient castle with a history of thousands of years.
Hogwarts contains many things that even Dumbledore may never have encountered.
Now that Ian has arrived in this dreamlike place, how could he not want to explore it thoroughly, especially the legendary secret passages leading to various places and the House of Requirement?
"Vera Verto!"
As the saying goes, what is hard to obtain is precious, and Ian would seize any opportunity to deform some of the decorative potted plants. He didn't actually know whether doing so violated school rules.
"Probably not."
Ian didn't play any pranks like the Weasley brothers; he simply made the basins more artistic, improving his skills while also giving Hogwarts a touch of Picasso's aura.
"Oh! Luckily, I had the money to hire the best artists back then!"
The murals hanging on the walls of Hogwarts are probably the only group influenced by Ian's masterpiece, with an unnamed witch in the murals covering her eyes in terror.
"Madam, this is art."
Ian's art was not without the favor of all the murals.
A troll who was beating a ballet teacher in a mural temporarily stopped beating the ballet teacher, which he had been doing for hundreds of years, because he greatly admired Ian's art.
It moved closer to the picture frame and stared intently at the potted plants outside.
"A troll actually understands art?"
Ian was very surprised. However, the giant in the mural could not speak; it just stared at the potted plants outside, its mouth agape and drooling.
"Get out of my way."
Arrive at this place.
Ian probably knew he had found the entrance to the Room of Requirement. To have such a vivid memory...
It was all thanks to the small shock that this giant wearing a ballet tutu had given him when he was young.
Just as Ian was about to enter.
A white figure silently emerged from an armored suit behind Ian. It was a very short, comical ghost with a wide face, a big mouth, and round, bright eyes.
It's a mischievous ghost.
The mischievous ghosts of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry have existed since the school's founding.
Its penchant for creating pranks and chaos has always left schools and their students and teachers helpless.
Even Dumbledore found it quite troublesome.
"I'll scare you to death!"
Pee-Pee suddenly crawled from under Ian's crotch to in front of him.
"Ah—The Divine Blade Without a Shadow!"
Ian was trying hard to recall the detailed steps to enter the Room of Requirement. He was genuinely startled by the prank ghost that jumped out and suddenly pressed its face against his.
He instinctively raised the wand he had been holding.
A chilling green light flickered slightly.
Fortunately, the "Enlightenment of Wisdom" allowed Ian to retain his rationality, which he promptly transformed into invisible magic.
It sliced towards the ghost's face like an invisible blade.
"Wow!! Caught someone secretly learning black magic—"
The little monster was laughing and trying to taunt and scare Ian when it suddenly found its body torn into dozens of pieces.
It hurts!
But no death came.
"ah!!!"
The "body parts" that Peeves had fallen to the ground were wriggling, and his head, which had been split in two, was healing again, but a wave of fear still swept through Peeves' mind in an instant.
It terrified it.
"Impossible! Impossible! I'm an elf! I'm an elf!"
"This isn't Snape's Shadowless Shot!"
"What's with this curse you're under, you brat!"
For the first time in a thousand years, Pikachu became the one who was terrified. After its "body" automatically reassembled, it frantically tried to flee into the distance.
"So it was you, you troublemaker!"
Ian hadn't expected his magic to work on Peeves. As if realizing something, he excitedly wanted to test his guess.
"Still trying to run!"
Ian rushed forward and grabbed Pippi's legs while he was in mid-air.
Yes!
He actually managed to catch the physical body!
"Looks like you're not as slippery as the upperclassmen said!" Ian's movements were swift and decisive; he threw Pipi to the ground and began to beat him mercilessly with his fists.
"I'm going to die! I'm going to die! You little rascal, let me go!" Pipi Ghost struggled frantically, but no matter what he did, he couldn't transform into a phantom form in Ian's hands.
It cannot understand.
I became increasingly terrified.
"You tried to scare me to death, and then you called me mean! I'll beat you to death!"
Ian is a very vengeful person.
He was almost scared into committing a major taboo.
If Ian didn't inflict some truly painful psychological trauma on this troublesome ghost, he felt he wouldn't be able to think clearly, and he was certain that the ghost would be constantly on his mind in the future.
The way to eliminate hatred is simple.
Persuade people with reason.
"Flames are raging!!!"
Ian raised the truth in his hand.
"It hurts! It hurts! Let me go!"
Peeves' hair was set ablaze, and it screamed in utter terror. Because it was almost lunchtime, no one in the eighth-floor corridor could hear it.
"Quickly, go to the west office and call Dumbledore to come save me!"
It can only cry for help to the murals on the wall.
just.
The troll who started beating up the ballet teacher again was completely oblivious to everything else.
