Chapter 94 The Target is the Master of Transfiguration Live streaming of Snape's dream? At this moment, Bruce only wanted to ask Katoom one question. What did Snape do to you that makes you target him like this? The same was true for the compound potion before, and the current dream live broadcast. Ever since the owl came to Hogwarts, Snape could never go back to his old life. "Don't look at me like that." Catum noticed Bruce's expression, "Maybe in the end, Snape will have to thank me." …… On weekends, Bruce went to Dumbledore's teaching place. This time he came with two tasks entrusted by Professor Gale, one was to demonstrate the power of the illusion spell, and the other was to propose a plan for diary communication. Dumbledore's habit seemed to be to arrive early every time. When Bruce entered the classroom, Dumbledore was looking at him with a smile on his face.
"Sorry Professor, I'm late again." Bruce sighed and apologized to the principal. He was already half an hour early this time, but Dumbledore still arrived before him. "No need to apologize, Bruce." Dumbledore said kindly, "You've arrived early. I was a little cunning." I know, Bruce thought. He had already discovered that there was a portrait of the former principal hanging in the corridor leading to this classroom. The same portrait is also in the principal's office. The reason why Dumbledore could always arrive early was actually no secret. He simply sent a message through the portrait and then Disapparated. After all, in Hogwarts, only the headmaster has the privilege of Apparition. The old man is quite proud. "Then let's start today's lesson." Dumbledore looked at Bruce, "I also want to know what method Professor Gale used to break the rebound spell." He knows everything. In other words, he guessed everything. I guessed that Gail would not give up after suffering a loss, and would definitely find a way to prove himself. "Show me, Bruce," said Dumbledore. "Don't hold back. Just cast the spell on me." There are only a few people in the entire wizarding world who can openly draw their wands and cast spells in front of Dumbledore. Bruce pulled out his wand, and in the process, the illusion spell was activated.
This is Professor Gale's little thought. When designing the illusion spell, he adopted a completely new design concept. This magic was not triggered by spells, but by specific actions. For example, his own setting is to pull out the magic wand. Anyone who sees this action will fall into a fantasy hallucination. Bruce, of course, choreographed his own moves. "Professor, I'll take action first." Bruce waved his wand and the Red Broomstick was launched. He simply replicated Professor Gale's previous actions, causing Dumbledore's vision to deviate. The first red broom star is fake, the real one is hidden behind. Bruce really wanted to see how Dumbledore would deal with the same situation as himself. Soon, he saw— Dumbledore did nothing, but just as the Red Broomstick was about to hit him, his entire figure disappeared from where he was. Since the target has been lost, the red star hidden behind it will naturally fall through. As for Dumbledore himself, he appeared behind Bruce, still with a faint smile on his face, looking calm and composed. "Professor, you are being a bit dishonest." Bruce protested, "No one else can Apparate in Hogwarts!" And this response method is too uncreative. Professor Gale probably wouldn't agree. "is it?" Hearing Bruce's protest, Dumbledore's smile widened. "What if I say that what I just used was not Apparition?" Not Apparition? But Bruce clearly saw Dumbledore disappear from the spot just now. "Bruce, I will explain it to you later, but our duel is not over yet." Dumbledore said softly, "Since Professor Gale has taught you such a sophisticated illusion spell, you should have follow-up measures." Fine. Although Bruce didn't know how Dumbledore discovered that he was using magic related to illusion. But he put his doubts aside for the time being and continued to focus on the match. Dumbledore waved his wand at this moment, and the armor in the classroom seemed to come to life, jumping off the display stand one by one and rushing towards Bruce.
This is the picture from the principal’s perspective. But in Bruce's eyes, what Dumbledore manipulated were actually just a few portraits. This was an illusion created by the Illusion Charm, causing Dumbledore to mistake the portrait for armor. The attack he thought was effective actually had no lethality. Bruce intends to take advantage of this deviation and launch an effective attack. However, an accident happened at this moment. Just as the portraits floated to Bruce, their appearance suddenly changed. They really turned into suits of armor, like soldiers, holding their weapons high and slashing at Bruce. Bruce finally opened his eyes this time. It was obviously me who created the illusion, but somehow the illusion became reality. "That's it!" At the moment when Bruce was about to be attacked, Dumbledore called for a stop. All the armors stopped where they were, and then changed their appearance again, turning into their original portraits, and fell to the ground one by one. "Transfiguration?" Bruce lifted the illusion spell. He already knew what had just happened. The portrait turned into armor because of Dumbledore's Transfiguration. "You're very smart, Bruce." Dumbledore approached and opened his hand. In his palm was a crumpled candy wrapper. "What is this?" Bruce asked. "The secret of my teleportation just now." Dumbledore said with a smile, "This is a portkey." A portkey is a magical item that can transport anyone who touches it to a designated location. When Dumbledore was attacked just now, he casually transformed the candy wrapper in his pocket into a portkey and then teleported behind Bruce. "Portkeys are not banned at Hogwarts." Dumbledore said, "So I didn't use the headmaster's privilege just now." This is a tactic often used by Dumbledore. Grab an ordinary object and twist it into a portkey. Bruce asked, "What about hallucinations? How did you find out that you were in a hallucination?" "Well..." Dumbledore thought for a long time before he figured out what to say. "Bruce, when Professor Gale taught you this magic, did he tell you to use your imagination to create a more realistic illusion?"
Bruce nodded. Gale did say that. "That's it." Dumbledore patted Bruce on the shoulder, "Do your best!" After that, without giving Bruce a chance to react, he smoothly changed the subject. "In fact, I have always felt that although illusions are powerful, the power of reality is even more powerful." Dumbledore picked up a portrait and said, "Like this painting, you made me think it was armor, and I don't need to expose it, I can just turn it into real armor. "And it's not just armor." As soon as he finished speaking, the portrait in his hand suddenly changed and turned into a silver sword. Dumbledore pulled out a strand of his hair, placed it on the blade and blew on it, and the hair broke in two. Then, the silver sword changed back to a portrait again. Bruce saw all this and his heart was in turmoil. In past Transfiguration lessons, Professor McGonagall had always asked students to turn mice into snuff boxes or beetles into buttons. Although Bruce found it magical, he always felt that Transfiguration was just a means of control. But now after Dumbledore's demonstration, Transfiguration has a completely different meaning in Bruce's eyes. How could this kind of spell be used only for controlling purposes in battle? If you can master Transfiguration, you will have endless weapons in battle. Imagine that in the ruins of a battlefield, Bruce waved his hand casually, rubble flew up, and then the rubble turned into millions of swords, floating densely behind him. What kind of scene was that? Bruce was excited just thinking about it. And what if he turns the rubble into nuclear bombs instead of swords? Bruce's expression suddenly became more serious than ever: "Professor, I want to learn Transfiguration!" "It seems you have noticed the charm of Transfiguration." Dumbledore smiled, "But Transfiguration is a very profound subject. You need to spend a lot of energy on it." "no problem!" Bruce's eyes were determined. At this moment, he had already made clear his goal. Become a master of Transfiguration! As for what Professor Gale? I'm so unfamiliar! …… This class ended with Bruce still wanting more. Dumbledore was happy to see students working hard to learn magic, which was the purpose of his involvement in education. It was only after the Transfiguration course ended that Bruce thought of his second mission. He took out Voldemort's diary from a pile of textbooks, and said to Dumbledore according to Gale's previous instructions:
"Professor, I have something to tell you." "what's up?" Dumbledore looked at the diary in Bruce's hand and sensed the flow of dark magic in it. Bruce said: "This is a diary I picked up by accident before. This diary can talk to me. It seems that there is a soul in it." Dumbledore said in a cautious tone: "Soul? Bruce, don't make such a judgment lightly." Magical props that can talk and converse are very common and not complicated to make. For example, the portraits in the castle. But when it comes to things of the soul, that's unusual. The first thing Dumbledore thought of was the Horcrux. One of the most evil magic items, one that requires killing to make. "I'm pretty sure there's a soul in there!" Bruce swore, "That soul has been saying bad things about Harry to me, trying to sow discord between me and Harry. It's very hateful! "Oh yeah, he has a name!" "Really? What's his name?" Dumbledore thought that if he knew the name of the diary, he might be able to track down its original owner. Judging from the black magic above, his master is most likely a dark wizard. Wait, this isn't Grindelwald's? Dumbledore's expression suddenly looked a little strange. He had never heard that Grindelwald had the habit of writing a diary. What could he write in his diary? At this time, Bruce spoke the name of the soul in the diary word by word. "He said his name was Tom Marvolo Riddle." (End of this chapter)
