Chapter 182: Souls Imprisoned in Books
Soon, the two arrived at a dark bookshelf that seemed to be soaked in ink. They could both feel an uncomfortable odor emanating from the books on the shelf.
"Wait for me a moment."
Lynn removed the Disillusionment Charm and spoke softly.
He pulled a dark magic book from the shelf. With a wave of his wand, he sliced the cover of the book like a carving knife, leaving golden threads in its wake.
Last night, Lynn had used his free time to refine three magical crystals and placed one of them into the groove of the Demon God's Authority as a magical power source for his spellcasting.
Therefore, with the magical energy provided by the crystal, although Lynn couldn't refine an alchemical set from scratch like he would with the Antimagic Stone, he could still use his wand as a carving knife to refine the alchemical formations on the surface of an object.
Not long after, several alchemical formations appeared on the cover of the dark magic book. Irina, who had also removed her Disillusionment Charm, could feel the energy emanating from the book. It made her uncomfortable, and the soothing breath she had been enjoying vanished.
"There's a human soul trapped in this dark magic book. It will manifest and bite the wizard when the book is opened. I've used the alchemical circle to completely seal the soul inside the book. You can be assured now. Take a look!"
Lynn said with a smile and handed the dark magic book to Irina.
Irina looked closely at the dark magic book in her hand. For some reason, she felt that this book seemed a bit familiar.
But soon, Irina realized why.
Wasn't this the same dark magic book that Harry had opened with a sudden scream when he snuck into the restricted section in his first year? When Harry opened the book, the face that appeared on the page was likely the movement of the trapped soul struggling.
After learning that Lynn had completely sealed the book, Irina opened it confidently.
The human face and scream that had appeared earlier did not reappear. Instead, what appeared in front of Irina were only some common words and patterns.
These words and patterns naturally recorded deep knowledge of dark magic.
Of course, compared to the three Unforgivable Curses and the Fire Curse that Lynn had mastered, this knowledge of dark magic wasn't particularly profound.
However, this knowledge of dark magic contained some battle tactics and secret methods from the Yin people, which were still worth referencing for both of them.
It was a pity that they couldn't stay long in the restricted section. After all, after Harry's Divination class, Irina would have to go with them to Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration class.
After guessing that time was almost up, Irina left the restricted section and walked toward the Transfiguration Classroom.
Back in the Transfiguration classroom.
Irina looked at the three Harrys, who seemed distracted beside her, and couldn't help but feel a bit confused.
"What's wrong? Why do you look so desperate?" Irina asked, puzzled.
Professor McGonagall, at the podium, also noticed something unusual about the three Harrys at the start of the Transfiguration class.
As you know, when she had just started talking about Transfiguration related to Animagus, and even transformed into a tabby cat in front of the class, Harry seemed dejected and didn't pay attention.
"Yeah, what's going on today? Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that my transformation didn't earn applause from my classmates for the first time."
Professor McGonagall slowly descended from the podium and looked at Harry with her kind but stern eyes.
Hermione, who was sitting to the right of Harry, raised her hand and explained, "Professor, we just had a Divination class and read tea leaves, and the result…"
Before Hermione could finish speaking, Professor McGonagall suddenly understood.
She frowned and asked, "No need to say more, Miss Granger, tell me, who of you is going to die this year?"
After hearing Professor McGonagall's words, Irina understood what had happened to Harry and the others and felt relieved.
Irina chuckled and said, "I figured it out. It was probably your Divination professor, Professor Trelawney, who predicted your death, Harry."
Harry nodded dejectedly. He didn't understand why his older sister Irina could still laugh when it was predicted that he would die.
"I see," Professor McGonagall looked at Harry with bright eyes and said, "Then you should know, Potter, that Sybill Trelawney has predicted someone's death every year since she arrived at this school. Students will die. But so far, none of them have died. If she hadn't said something about my colleagues…"
Professor McGonagall suddenly stopped. It seemed she realized she had spoken ill of Professor Trelawney.
After pausing, Professor McGonagall continued, "Divination is the least rigorous branch of magic. To be honest, I don't have much patience for it. You know, there are very few true prophets, and Professor Trelawney…"
She paused again and then said in a practical tone, "Mr. Potter, I believe you're in good health, so I'll excuse you from your homework today. I would like to express my gratitude to you. I promise that if you do actually die, you won't have to hand in your assignment."
After hearing Professor McGonagall's words, Harry finally felt relieved and couldn't help but laugh.
This Transfiguration lesson soon ended, and Irina's next class was Hagrid's Care of Magical Creatures class.
As a lover of all magical animals, Irina secretly raises dangerous creatures like the bent-winged demons with a danger level of XXXXX. Naturally, Irina looked forward to the upcoming Care of Magical Creatures class.
Of course, what she was looking forward to wasn't just the professor Hagrid's Care of Magical Creatures class but also the Hippogriffs she was about to see, especially the Hippogriff that appeared many times in the original work.
