Chapter 3: Family Magic.

Since the day Rigel caused his first magic riot, Lucius has been more than eager to mentor Rigel's learning of magic. What surprised and delighted the whole family was that Rigel's learning talents extended to the realm of magic.

He showed outstanding talent in the field of magic, his natural occulomency guaranteed that whatever he read or heard was perfectly retained in his brain. He even asked some questions that even the knowledgable Lucius could not answer from time to time, so it didn't take long for Lucius to give up personal guidance and let the boy go tinker and research on his own.

As a scholar and researcher in the past life, Rigel was already well versed in the process of learning different languages and writing them. Since the age of 4, he has displayed an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and tireless learning of the past life, often living in the family library to read books.

For centuries, members of the Malfoy family have been enriching the family's collection of books. The general category of books covers everything, whether it is history, spells, transfiguration, herbalism, warcraft, and even unpopular and esoteric ancient magic literature and alchemy can be found in the library, there are many more precious and rare books in it.

The value of an out-of-print magic book is inestimable, and it can be said to be invaluable. These are the fundamental inheritance of the pure-blood wizard family, and no one will take it out unless that was the last resort.

Rigel's favorite has always been the history books, reading through the family's historical documents, he had gained a deeper and more complete understanding of this magical world than he had from the novels JKR wrote.

He now understands that this is a completely magical world and everyone is a living person. This world has not only the savior Harry and his friends, but also the Dark Lord Voldemort and his followers, and others who were not mentioned in the story.

All kinds of people live in this world, such as the magicians of the Egyptian pyramids, the magical biologists who travel the world, the alchemist who creates magical objects, and so on. What makes Rigel confused is that as a family that favors the Dark Lord in the original book, there is no book on dark magic in the library.

Is it because dark magic books are dangerous and his parents worry that he and Draco might come in contact with them and cause an accident?

The pure-blood family, especially the sacred 28 pure-blood families, has an incomparably ancient and enriched history. Regardless of the fact that several pure-blood families in the original work are stubborn in front of Voldemort, the real heritage of these families is never reflected in force and battle, but relying on the monopoly of the profitable industry in the magical world to control the economic lifeline of the magical world.

Endless wealth and strong political influence. What allows them to do this is not a simple inheritance of wealth and influence, but various very precious magical secrets held by these ancient families. For example, the Ollivander family, which has a history of more than two thousand years, depends on the wand making. With the secret of making magic wands, the family monopolized one-third of the entire magic wand industry.

These tomes and grimoires that record family secrets are the most precious treasures of a family, and thus are the inheritance that enriches them.

Rigel knew that it was only a few years before the bald snake returned, and if he wanted to protect himself and his family, he had to fight each and every minute to increase his strength. He was originally a learning tyrant, and he was more diligent than ordinary people to absorb all the knowledge in the family library.

The relationship between Rigel and Dobby was very good, and after years of hard work, Rigel finally succeeded in persuading Dobby at the age of 5 to sneak into the family's living room with his apparition while the whole family was out.

The secret room was underneath it, and because the entrance of the secret room is blocked by heavy protective magic, it is impossible to enter without the correct unlocking spell. However, the protective magic of the wizarding world has a loophole, that is, it does not pay attention to the magic of creatures that are inferior to them. Such as house elves, that's why Rigel can rely on Dobby to sneak into the secret room with the unique elf magic of the house-elf.

The ceiling of the secret room was hung with a few skulls emitting weird fluorescence, which filled the dark secret room with a little faint light. Rows of shelves can be seen on all four walls, the shelves are filled with many weird objects that are full of traces of black magic at a glance from his magic sight.

There are black skulls, blood-stained daggers, weird masks, and rusted trinkets. There are no descriptions attached to these items, such as the stained chains and so on, so Rigel has no idea about their names or how to use them.

He moved cautiously in the small space of the closet. He had to be perfectly vigilant to avoid accidentally touching any of the objects here. Even OP characters like Dumbledore accidentally encountered Voldie's curse and got a certain death curse that even he could not dispel.

As a member and the leader of the Dark families, he was sure that his family definitely had a nice collection of such things or things that were even worse. Among the vast array of objects, one of them was recognized by Rigel. It was an old-style diary with a black cover, the style was very ordinary, just like an ordinary diary in the Muggle world.

With The name, Tom Riddle written on it, Rigel knew that this was the first Horcrux in Voldemort's life and with his current strength, he did not dare touch it.

He hurriedly passed these terrible black magic items and came to the corner dedicated to storing books. The books here are very old, and some of the covers are so worn that the words on them are unrecognizable.

Rigel picked out three books from the pile of books, namely "Dark Potions", "Fallen Creatures" and "A repertoire of Dark Curses, Volume One". These three books look very old from the outside, and even a lot of content in them is written in Elder Futhark.

Then Rigel found the family grimoire in a secret compartment, which recorded the secret magic inherited only by the family's direct descendants, and asked Dobby to make a copy of it for himself.

Since little wizards before the age of 11 in the British wizarding world are not allowed to possess magic wands, Rigel can only transcribe the principles and methods of releasing the spell in advance, but cannot really learn to use it, and using wandless magic was a damn myth...

It needed training with a wand to get familiar with the spell and then try to do it without one, which was way more complicated than what other fan fictions or self-proclaimed wizards seem to claim. A child who did not have his first magical maturity doing wandless magic was something that was bloody impossible.

Yes, Rigel learned that the hard way... He was magically exhausted and his parents saved him before his magic could tear him apart from the violent magical riot he triggered, and since then he was banned from trying stuff before he went to Hogwarts.

Back to the point...

Schelling was about to leave with a lot of gains, but he inadvertently caught a glimpse of an old dusty hourglass in the corner. If it hadn't been for Rigel's magic eye, he wouldn't be able to see the faint-blue fluctuations of magic power on the hourglass.

This item was something that cannot attract anyone's attention unless they paid attention. In the magical world, items such as hourglasses and pocket watch that can emit magical fluctuations usually mean only one thing-this item has time magic attached to it!

With excitement and expectations, he packed the hourglass and took it away with him, he summoned Dobby to come over and return the original magic books and a counterfeit of the hourglass back to where they rightfully were with his magic.

After carefully eliminating all traces, he and Dobby returned back to their daily lives. The books were one thing but the hourglass was definitely a boon for the current him, something that could increase his work efficiency a few folds.

That's right, this hourglass is a time turner, the first sample passed down in the Middle Ages. In the postscript of the original book, Lucius still allowed Theodore Nott to create two brand new pieces for him when all the known time converters had been destroyed at the time.

Time magic is one of the most mysterious fields of magic. Rigel knows that time magic has many rules and he doesn't want to cause terrible consequences for himself and the world by breaking the rules.

This is the old model time converter, it can only bring Schelling back one hour each time the hourglass is flipped, it is already very useful for Schelling. All he needs is more time for reading and learning, quite similar to what Hermione was doing in the third year.

Although there is no limit to the number of times the hourglass can be used, excessive frequent use is still a burden on the body, just like Hermione in the original book had to give up because of exhaustion.

Therefore, Rigel only flipped the hourglass four times a day, using the extra four hours for learning, so that he was immersed in reading and learning day after day. There are hundreds of books in the library, but with the help of Time Hourglass, he finished reading all the books at the age of 9, possessing an amount of knowledge that was practically impossible for ordinary people.

As for the three black magic books, Rigel does not plan to read them for the time being, because the black magic books usually carry their own dangers, and it is undoubtedly reckless and stupid to try to open them at his current level.

As for Malfoy's family magic grimoire, although he had never practiced, he had already kept the steps and details of the spell in mind, only the practical testing remain.
