How to Make Phoenix Tears?
Creating a magical machine that produces Coolick is no simple task.
Fred and George took this very seriously, asking Wizet several times about the process of making the book, until they finally got everything sorted out.
The reason why the sketchbook given to Luna could draw three-dimensional figures was not only due to the magical power inside, but also because of the design of the crystal pen itself.
Wizet combined the writing principle of a ballpoint pen with minimizing the waste of Magic Powder, thereby extending the lifespan of the crystal pen.
"I never would have guessed!" George exclaimed. "Now I understand more and more why Daddy likes Muggle. Muggle are really amazing!"
"I didn't expect that! This gift took a lot of thought! This is probably... cough cough cough... right!" Fred teased with a mischievous grin.
Wizet tried to focus on her notes, saying without looking up, "Luna likes to draw..."
Luna also kept her head down, drawing a lively little deer in the sketchbook.
Neville raised his hand and asked a question, "Do we need... Self-Stirring Cauldron? Otherwise, Wizet will have to brew a lot of Potions, right?"
"Self-Stirring Cauldron?" Fred blinked. "That's a good option!"
George nodded in agreement. "We can help, we'll definitely negotiate a better price!"
After calming down, Wizet looked up and said, "Coolick's raw pulp is a bit special, and it's not easy to maintain its quality using Self-Stirring Cauldron. Don't worry, I'll find a way to solve it myself."
Fred sighed. "That's true. Among non- Slytherin students, you're the only one who walked into Snape's office and came out alive."
George exclaimed dramatically, "He didn't just walk out alive! I heard from Ron that out of all those non-Slater students, he was the only one to get an 'O'!"
Hanna added with feigned seriousness, "I heard from Gabriel and the others that he seems to be the only one in recent years to get an 'O'! It's incredibly rare!"
Neville asked curiously, "All these years? How many years?"
"Of course, it started when Snape became a professor!" George hooked his arm around Neville's shoulder. "Didn't you get points deducted?"
Neville instantly broke out in a cold sweat, "I've been detained before!"
"You've improved a lot!" George patted Neville's arm. "If it were before, you'd probably be stammering and trembling."
Leaving the Mystic Corridor, Wizet headed to Snape's office with her prepared thesis.
He planned to go to Professor McGonagall's office after the private lectures to submit his paper.
"Ravenclaw, deduct five points!"
The moment Wizet stepped into the office with her left foot, Snape deducted points from her.
However, Wizet was not surprised at all, because Slytherin Quidditch Team suffered another crushing defeat in yesterday's Quidditch Match.
Yesterday's Golden Snitch delayed things for too long, giving Wizet too much time to score;
Even if Draco catches the Golden Snitch, it only ends the game, bringing the score to 410 to 200.
"Let's begin!" Snape said curtly.
"Expecto Patronum!"
Wizet raised her wand, and a silver Phoenix flew from the tip of the wand, hovering quietly in mid-air, making the whole office seem warmer.
"It really turned out like this..." Wizet murmured, and as he put down his wand, the silver Phoenix vanished.
After completing the Phoenix Animagus, his Patronus remained unstable, sometimes appearing in different shapes.
It wasn't until he cast the Patronus Charm this time that his Patronus finally stabilized its form and took the shape of Phoenix.
When Snape was teaching him the Patronus Charm, he mentioned that an overly special Corporeal Patronus often reveals important information.
Like the Phoenix Patronus of Wizet, it naturally belongs to a special kind of Corporeal Patronus.
Thinking of this, Wizet asked, "Professor Snape, surely there's a way to hide the Patronus?"
"You do have some self-awareness." Snape raised an eyebrow. "Ravenclaw five points! As for ordinary wizards... ordinary wizards can't summon Patronus ..."
"For a wizard who can summon Patronus, to conceal their Corporeal Patronus, they can mix positive and negative emotions when casting the Patronus Charm..."
After the bonus points were awarded, he went straight to explaining how to hide his Corporeal Patronus.
Wizet had a feeling that Snape's tone wasn't as cold when he explained this part.
Snape introduced two methods. The first method is a general approach, which, in short, involves weakening the emotions during the casting of the spell, which naturally weakens the Patronus Charm, making it difficult to maintain the physical body.
The second method was something Snape came up with on the spot, and it might only work for Wizet. It needs to be tested to determine if it will work.
Wizet began to try the second method, pressing her wand against her heart and chanting. "Amado, Animo, Animado, Animagus."
As his body Transfiguration, he took the form of a Golden Eagle, then quickly transformed back.
"Expecto Patronum!"
Wizet cast the Patronus Charm again, confirming Snape's suspicions; a Golden Eagle Patronus indeed flew out from the tip of his wand.
Looking at the Golden Eagle Patronus hovering in the air, Wizet couldn't help but make a connection, "Professor Snape, Obscurus also contain Transfiguration..."
Snape nodded. "Then let's stop talking and give it a try!"
As the third attempt began, Wizet's idea was confirmed: his Patronus transformed into a cloud of mist, just like the guardian Patronus he had summoned when he first cast the Patronus Charm.
"The first time you used the Patronus Charm, you summoned Corporeal Patronus..." Snape rubbed his temples. "Take out the cauldron first."
"Professor Snape, I actually have another question." Wizet opened his notebook. "I tried to make the Phoenix Tears, but I failed. May I ask..."
Before Wizet could finish speaking, Snape interjected, "Normally, the materials needed to create Magical creature of XXXX level or higher are not as simple as using the Patronus Charm."
"It requires the use of Ritual Magic and Patronus Charm, a large amount of materials with relevant properties, and a long period of preparation before a small amount of the corresponding materials can be obtained."
"A long period of preparation?" Wizet's heart skipped a beat. "Professor Snape, how long exactly?"
"It takes about three months to make a complete Runespoor Egg, plus the brains of seven different snake species."
"Professor Snape, what is the most crucial point?"
"Time is of the essence! This Ritual Magic needs to be performed outdoors, and we must ensure that the weather does not change. If it is sunny, it must remain sunny, and if it is rainy, it must remain rainy."
"Is time the most important thing?" After listening to Snape's description, Wizet suddenly thought of a combination—the failed attempt to create the Phoenix Tears, and the Ancient Magic Power that had been nurtured over time...
