HP: The Root of Everything - The Magician

Indeed, Hermione felt that Harry, who was standing in front of her, was somewhat unfamiliar.

In Hermione's memory, Harry was kind, loving, and courageous. Although he was often foolish and clumsy, Harry was not someone who would be dominated by hatred and lose his judgment.

After listening to Harry's angry outburst of hatred, Hermione didn't continue to offer advice or comfort, but instead looked at him with suspicion and scrutiny.

Hatred can certainly change a person, but it only changes their outward appearance. It is very difficult for hatred to completely change a person's inner self.

But now, Hermione inexplicably sensed a darkness emanating from Harry, a darkness that seemed to come from within.

"Harry, what's wrong with you?"

Harry calmed down after Hermione's scrutinizing and caring questioning.

Harry covered the slightly burning scar on his forehead, then turned and left without a word, as if trying to escape.

......

Despite missing Peter Pettigrew, Hermione's life at Hogwarts continues as usual.

He would only leave Hogwarts in his spare time to search for experimental materials for this bio-magic, Little Pettigrew.

The Sirius Black incident during his third grade years was irrelevant to Teach Carr; in fact, it was completely unrelated.

Why would Teach waste his time and energy on something that is completely irrelevant and has no purpose or benefit?

His time is very precious and tightly packed now.

The petrification process of the Dementors is very slow, which forces Teach to schedule his time carefully. He will petrify a little bit each day and then stop to focus on his research into other magic.

Teach first sought out Snape and discussed potions in depth.

This profound knowledge is the 'wolfsbane medicine'.

Wolfsbane can suppress the werewolf's instinctive wildness after transformation, allowing the werewolf to retain the rationality it had when it was human.

Based on unfounded speculation, Teach believed that the wolfsbane potion, once ingested, would protect or isolate something within the body, preventing harm from abnormal, invisible substances.

So this wolfsbane medicine is useful, very useful.

Teach sacrificed a great deal of his life magic to suppress the bat blood poison that stirred up within him every night, resulting in him getting a white hair almost every morning.

If Teach continues to exhaust himself like this day and night, his lifespan won't be able to withstand it.

To this end, Teach talked with Snape all night and exchanged the formula and production process of the wolfsbane potion for a small price.

Next, Teach used magic to modify the potion based on his own experience with bat blood venom.

With the potion in sight, the next step was biomagic.

Hermione's research into biomagic led her to think of the Animagus, Little Pettigrew, and how to use it as material to refine the Alchemy Array.

Hermione was actually very anxious. Teach's white hair was already clearly visible, and Hermione wanted to use her life analysis transmutation circle to do something for her teacher.

Teach's research on biomagic falls under the category of biological morphology.

The research has revealed a method to perform bio-magical modifications on ordinary people's bodies, granting them the forms and powers of wondrous creatures. These are not flawed beings like werewolves or vampires, but rather intelligent, beastmen capable of transforming into their animal forms at will.

Furthermore, the orcs whose bodies have undergone physical transformation are given the innate abilities (magic) of the transformed magical creature.

This step is crucial; it's the key to Teach's research into awakening his own origin magic.

In the Defense Against the Dark Arts office on the second floor.

Teach and Lupin chatted amiably about her apprentice, Hermione.

Seeing that the atmosphere and timing were right, Teach suggested, "Professor Lupin, I wonder if you could give me a little of your blood, and a tiny bit of your skin and flesh?"

"As you know from our conversation, the power I possess is not magic but sorcery. Sorcery is a mysterious discipline that pursues the theory of truth, and therefore I hope to study you, who is a 'werewolf'."

The mere mention of the word "werewolf" instantly made Lupin tense. Very few people knew of his werewolf identity; besides his closest friends, only Snape knew.

Under Teach's intensely interested gaze, Lupin swallowed hard and asked, "Professor Carl, I wonder where you heard this news from?"

"Was it Snape? Did he tell you?"

Teach shook his head in denial: "No, actually, it's very simple to find out Professor Lupin's werewolf identity."

"Furthermore, considering your nervousness and fear of the moon in the Boggart class, anyone with a discerning eye only needs to do a little research in books and materials to easily identify your werewolf identity."

"By the way, my disciple Hermione discovered your identity all by herself."

Lupin tidied his hair, which had become disheveled from his panic, and then, after calming down, asked, "So, Professor Carl, will you go and expose my identity? Tell the young wizards and their wizard parents that I am a werewolf."

"No, no, no~", Teach shook her head with a smile.

"Professor Lupin, you think too highly of me. I only want a little bit of your blood and flesh; I have no other intentions."

"I, Teach Carr, am simply doing this for magic research. Who knows, I might accidentally discover how you can control a werewolf's transformation during my research~"

"After all, some things that magic cannot do, magic can easily accomplish based on theory."

Threatened by Teach's underlying words and tempted by the prospect of regaining his human form, Lupin slit his wrist after making his decision.

A bottle brimming with hot blood, along with a finger-width chunk of meat, landed in Teach's hands.

As Teach was leaving, he suddenly turned around and said, "Dear Professor Lupin, please come to me on the night of the full moon. The complete research results cannot be without your werewolf form."

......

the other side.

Sirius Black knew the Hogwarts third-year curriculum, so he didn't go to Hogsmeade to wait for Harry.

Although he desperately wanted to reunite with his godson Harry and clear up Harry's misunderstanding of him as his 'father,' he wasn't in a hurry.

Without catching the culprit Peter Pettigrew, no matter how Peter tries to prove his innocence to Harry, Harry, influenced by hatred, will not believe him.

Blake was lucky.

This stroke of luck made him wonder if it was a blessing from heaven after seeing how much he had suffered being wronged in Azkaban.

Because, when he temporarily left Hogwarts Castle, he saw a person, or rather, a mouse.

A mouse with one finger missing.

Upon seeing Ron's rat 'Spotted,' Black was instantly enraged: [It's Peter Pettigrew, it's Peter Pettigrew, hahahaha... You've appeared, you've finally appeared!]

Black instantly transformed into a black dog, letting out a furious roar, and chased after Peter the rat.

They chased and chased until they reached the Dark Forbidden Forest.

Black, now back in human form, held the wand Hermione had given him and roared towards the Forbidden Forest, "Peter... our former best friend Peter!"

"I've traveled thousands of miles to find you, won't you come out and see your old friend?"

"Why don't you come out and see me, your old friend who'd love to drink your blood and eat your flesh?"

"Hahahaha..."

Although Blake was dressed in a suit and tie, his expression was ferocious, and he was laughing wildly.
