Chapter 384: The Magic of Death and the Dark Magic Transfiguration

"Don't worry, dear,"

Kyle said with a wave of his hand and an indifferent tone, "The You-Know-Who has been dead for more than ten years. Even if the Death Eaters are unwilling, what can they do?"

"Resurrect the You-Know-Who? Don't be ridiculous!"

Helen glared at Kyle and said impatiently, "Don't talk about such scary topics. Do you still want to eat?"

While saying this, Helen flipped through the newspaper again.

"Some say the person who attacked the Ministry of Magic was Sirius Black... Others speculate that the attack was carried out by someone working inside the Ministry,"

Helen continued to read. "As soon as he realised that someone had invaded the Ministry of Magic, Rufus Scrimgeour, the Head of the Auror Office, ordered the Ministry fireplace to be shut down."

"During this time, no one left the Ministry of Magic, and no one can use the Apparition spell in the Ministry at that time, but the person who invaded the Ministry of Magic mysteriously disappeared into thin air..."

"Kyle, how do you think that person did it?"

Kyle folded his arms, "How would I know? You should ask Andy about that, he's always into this kind of thing."

Helen handed the newspaper to Kyle, rolled her eyes, and said, "If it wasn't for eating, I think that boy would sleep forever."

Kyle laughed, "I don't have the habit of sleeping in."

"Me neither," Helen's eyes were a little sharp.

"Okay!"

Kyle immediately said, "Actually, I did like to sleep in when I was at school."

"Hmph!" Helen said with satisfaction as she walked towards the kitchen.

Andy also learned this news while having breakfast.

But nothing was surprising about it. With such a big incident, the Ministry of Magic couldn't cover it up.

"Andy, um... tell me, how do you think that person escaped from the Ministry of Magic?" Helen asked curiously.

No one from the Ministry had left, and there was no way to teleport there, nor could Polyjuice Potion and similar spells fool the Ministry's detection systems. Yet the person had mysteriously disappeared inside the Ministry.

"Maybe that person was an illegal Animagus,"

Andy said casually. "Like turning into a bee or something."

Helen rolled her eyes in exasperation at this.

Andy read the newspaper while eating his breakfast, and when he found that there was nothing important in the paper, he let out a sigh of relief – Sirius was right, the Aurors were indeed useless.

And no one would ever suspect it was Andy.

Who would have thought a thirteen-year-old wizard would dare invade the Ministry of Magic and impersonate an Auror?

The case would remain unsolved.

After breakfast, Andy Apparated to Grimmauld Place with the borrowed book and today's newspaper.

12 Grimmauld Place.

"Hi, Mr Black."

Andy held up the newspaper. "There's good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"

Sirius was eating breakfast. "The good news first, I don't want to lose my appetite with the bad news."

"For the time being, I'm afraid the Ministry won't be able to pursue you."

Andy found a seat. "Congratulations, you'll be a little more free."

Sirius paused in mid-bite. "Okay, I think I can guess what the bad news is. Out with it, what happened at the Ministry?"

"Was it Fudge who was assassinated? Or was it Azkaban that was attacked? Or was it the Ministry headquarters that was blown up?"

Andy raised an eyebrow. "Good guess! Last night, someone broke into the Ministry and fought with Aurors. Scrimgeour intervened personally, but the person still managed to escape." 

Sirius took the newspaper and said, "That's crazy! Are you sure it was the Death Eaters?"

Andy put up his hands, "Don't ask me! I'm just a thirteen-year-old wizard, what would I know?"

"I won't disturb you from having breakfast,"

Andy said, getting up, "I'll go to the study and read for a while. I brought the book I borrowed last time."

Seeing Sirius's expression, Andy knew that he hadn't noticed that Kreacher had left last night.

The last hidden danger had been completely eliminated.

There was no longer any reason to suspect Andy in the matter of the Ministry of Magic break-in.

Arriving in the study as if he knew his way around, Andy put the borrowed books back on the shelves and then picked up some books he hadn't read yet and sat on the sofa to read them.

In fact, Andy wasn't really in the mood to read.

The break-in into the Department of Mysteries had been very fruitful, and the brain he had obtained in the Brain Room and the energy absorbed by the Resurrection Stone in the Death Chamber... these gains made Andy ecstatic.

Andy was prepared to find an opportunity to establish cooperation with Snape and ask him to help analyse the properties of the green liquid.

This was not in Andy's field of expertise.

In contrast, Andy was more concerned about the energy absorbed by the Resurrection Stone.

The power of death behind the curtain!

After returning home last night, Andy immediately rummaged through the Slytherin manuscripts and found a way to steal the power of death.

First, the power inside the Resurrection Stone could be extracted using a ritual and potion.

This was not difficult.

Although the process was a bit complicated, the method was feasible.

The problem lay in the magic transfiguration step!

Slytherin had not studied how to use the power of death to perform magic transfiguration.

In other words, even if Andy used the potion to guide out the power of death from the Resurrection Stone, there was no practical method to carry out magic transfiguration.

This made Andy a bit confused.

According to the original plan, Andy had wanted to use the 'Magic of the Sun and the Moon' to complete the magic transfiguration – in the Slytherin manuscript, there were both mature potion formulas and detailed steps for magic transfiguration.

Andy only needed to follow the steps and experiment once to test the transfiguration process.

But Andy now had the power of death.

In Andy's vision, the power of death was a power that could touch the soul.

Moreover, the soul can be immortal!

Whether it is the ghosts in the real world or the souls in the world of the dead, they seem to have transcended death itself and have achieved immortality to a certain extent.

If the power of death is used to complete the magic transfiguration, can it make the body of the wizard possess some of the characteristics of the soul?

This is what makes Andy most excited!

'It's not completely impossible...'

Andy frowned.

In the Slytherin manuscript, there is a type of dark magic transfiguration that is highly inclusive. As long as it is the power of dark magic, it can be used in this method to complete the magic transfiguration.

But this method of dark magic transfiguration was not specifically researched for the power of death, after all.

But if Andy were to research it by himself.

It might take decades.

'Maybe... I can experiment with both methods at the same time,'

Andy thought to himself, 'Whether it's the nature magic of the sun and moon or the power of death, as long as there is a way to succeed, I will immediately perform the magic transformation!'
