Chapter 139 Battle Royale Game
Wade spread out the map and searched carefully.
At this time, most students are eating in the auditorium and not many people stay in the dormitory.
Wade found the Gryffindor common room and carefully distinguished the few black dots there.
Arya Spinnet...Geoffrey Hooper...Cormac McLaggen...Dean Thomas...Peter Pettigrew...
found it.
Vader looked at the tiny black dot.
Maybe he was sleeping, for the little black dot representing Peter Petillo was motionless. Dean Thomas, on the other hand, was walking around, and soon left the dormitory.
Then Peter's black dot began to move. It ran to one place with a clear purpose, and then began to stay still again.
Wade guessed that maybe it was stealing the students' snacks, after all, Ron couldn't give a mouse too much food;
Maybe it was reading the newspaper, trying to see if the Death Eaters had any hope of making a comeback.
Vader left the map on the table and turned to look at the shelf on the wall.
This once empty wooden shelf is now filled with potions, with glass bottles of all sizes neatly arranged with rectangular labels on them.
There were colorful potions in glass bottles, some emitting a faint mist, while others emitted an ominous black light.
Vader's eyes scanned the labels one by one.
Compound decoction, shrinking potion, scabies potion, swelling potion, life and death potion, white mulberry, blood tonic, intoxicating potion, age-increasing potion...
In addition, there are poisonous ginseng, aconite, rutabaga, powder of poisonous horned beast, feathers of poison ivy, lead powder, arsenic ore...
Most of the toxic substances are raw materials.
After all, their textbooks would not teach students to brew poison. Even if they used Aconitum or Mandrake, it was for their medicinal value.
However, most poisons do not require much processing, and just a small amount of powder can be lethal.
Vader checked it out and pondered for a moment.
There is no truth serum.
It's not that he didn't want it, but as a banned drug, it couldn't be bought through regular channels. Wade couldn't possibly ask Ferdinand to go to a place like Knockturn Alley to buy the potion for him.
In the library, the formula for Veritaserum may only be found in the restricted section.
……
"Powerful Potion?"
Madam Pince carefully examined the note and Lockhart's flamboyant signature on it and asked, "Mr. Grey, this is a very dangerous book."
"Yes, I know." Wade said, "I will carefully learn the useful parts of it."
"Well," Madam Pince muttered, "Professor Lockhart is too arbitrary. He gives students approval for everything..."
She strode into the restricted books area, and soon took out a thick book that seemed to be moldy and handed it to Wade.
Wade took the book but did not leave immediately. Instead, he asked, "Did Professor Lockhart ban any other books for other students?"
"A junior Slytherin student actually borrowed the most poisonous magic!" Madam Pince said dissatisfiedly, "He really has no sense of propriety at all!"
"That student...could it be Draco Malfoy?" Wade guessed.
A fleeting look across Madam Pince's face suggested he was right.
But the librarian said seriously, "Don't ask, Mr. Gray. I won't reveal student secrets."
……
"Don't mess with Slytherin recently, especially Draco Malfoy."
When the Umbrella House was active, Wade warned everyone and he glanced at Michael specifically.
"What happened?" Harry asked. "He borrowed a book called "The Most Poisonous Magic" from the library." Wade said, "I suspect he might want to learn some dangerous black magic and use it on someone."
"Speaking of which..." Hermione looked at Harry and Neville: "Malfoy hasn't bothered you guys recently, right?"
"Yeah," said Harry, puzzled. "He joined the Slytherin team. I thought he would be very impressive for a while!"
Ryan said: "Malfoy has been having a hard time recently. I once saw him arguing with a few Slytherins next to the dungeon, and he was almost pushed down by Crabbe."
The common rooms of the Snake and Badger Houses are close to each other, so they often run into Slytherin students.
"That's strange." Harry said puzzledly: "Hasn't Crabbe always been Malfoy's follower?"
Padma suggested, "Maybe he doesn't want to be a follower anymore?"
Michael raised his eyebrows proudly and wanted to say something, but Wade shook his head at him.
"Don't worry about Slytherin." Wade tapped his palm with his wand and asked everyone, "Have you mastered the Stunning Spell?"
"Of course." Everyone nodded.
Hermione said excitedly, "Are we going to learn a new spell?"
Vader shook his head: "You don't need a lot of practical magic, but it must be the most familiar. It's best if you can perform it successfully without thinking, spells, or even a wand!"
"Silent and wandless?" Theo muttered, "This is very difficult..."
"So that's the goal going forward," Vader said.
"At this stage, what we have to do is very simple - draw out the wand in the shortest possible time, successfully cast the spell while dodging, and ensure that we hit the target."
"How do we train?" Michael was eager to try: "Or is it still like before, actual combat training?"
Vader shook his head. "That wasn't really called actual combat training. It was just standing still and throwing spells."
"In order to truly learn how to use the spell, let's play a game."
His smile seemed to have some ill intentions.
"What game?" Neville swallowed and asked nervously.
Vader smiled.
“Battle Royale!”
……
"Hey, Vader, you're here!"
The Weasley twins patted the fence next to them and raised their hands in greeting.
Hagrid was pruning some bushes that were more than a meter tall nearby. When he saw them, he waved happily.
Next to Hagrid was a pumpkin patch, and many of the pumpkins were more than a person tall.
"Oh my god, they are so big!" Neville couldn't help but exclaim.
Harry hadn't visited Hagrid for a few days, and he didn't expect his vegetable patch to have changed so much. He asked, "Hagrid, how did you make them grow so tall?"
"Is it the expansion spell?" Hermione turned to Wade and asked, "Are we training here?"
"Yeah, this is a great environment. Hiding behind a pumpkin and launching a surprise attack is hard to guard against, right?"
Fred smiled as he lay on a smaller pumpkin.
"In fact, the ideal environment should be the Forbidden Forest, but Hagrid doesn't allow us to go in, not even to the edge of the forest!" George said regretfully.
For Vader, a more ideal room would be the Room of Requirement, which can simulate various environments.
But he didn't want to reveal the secret to Harry and others while Peter Pettigrew was still in school.
