After controlling Reed with the Imperius Curse, Andy waved his wand to unlock the chains on the iron cage and control Reed to walk out from the inside.
'It seems...there shouldn't be any problems.'
Andy stared at Reed for a while, making sure that Reed was defenceless, before placing a hand on Reed's shoulder and then using the Apparition Spell.
Pop!
The scene in front of him changed instantly, and the next moment, Andy arrived at the Godric Valley cemetery with Reed.
It was usually sparsely visited, and now it was around 8:30 pm, so there was no one in the cemetery.
Andy waved his wand and released the Fat Cat Patronus.
"Keep watch around the perimeter and don't let anyone else come over," Andy instructed.
The Fat Cat Patronus waved its tail at Andy, then flew off into the distance and hid in a corner.
'Quite capable!'
Andy walked to the edge of the cemetery and raised the wand in his right hand.
"Protego totalum…Salvio hexia …Cave inimicum…"
As Andy recited the incantations, a bright white, translucent magical barrier slowly appeared and spread outwards.
After Andy had walked around the cemetery once, the magical barrier had enveloped the entire cemetery.
"OK!"
Having finished the preparations, Andy fixed his gaze on Reed.
"Imperio!"
To ensure that there would be no accidents during the following dark magic transfiguration ritual, Andy added another Imperius Curse on Reed and then handed him a wand.
"Let's get started!" Andy said.
Reid took the wand in his right hand and, like a puppet, walked to the middle of the cemetery, where the potion vial was buried.
Andy held the wand up, his eyes fixed on Reed with a wary look.
Fortunately, there were no accidents with the Imperius Curse.
Reed placed the tip of the wand against his temple and muttered a strange incantation.
As the incantation was recited, the wand's tip glowed miserable green. Apart from that, nothing else happened.
Andy felt his left trouser pocket.
'I really should have brought the Truth Potion, so I could ask Reed how it felt to recite the incantation.'
'Guess I'll have to wait until next time...'
Andy thought to himself, but the wand in his hand kept pointing at Reed—until Reed was back in the cage, Andy would not let his guard down.
After chanting the incantation three times, Reed stopped.
Then Reed took the wand and made a light slash on the left wrist, and blood immediately flowed down the wrist.
The blood dripped onto the ground.
Andy watched very closely as the blood dripped onto the ground and seemed to be absorbed by some force in the ground—it was definitely not seeping into the ground naturally.
'It worked!' Andy thought.
The absorption of the blood meant that the Vial buried in the ground had already gained a certain amount of magical power.
Andy was a little excited about the sight.
'Six more times!'
After another six sessions of the same dark magic transfiguration ritual, the blood in the vial with the Resurrection Stone in it can be used to brew the magic potion.
Andy counted the time.
If the one-month brewing period is included, there are still 72 days left!
'Oh! There's also the new moon night to wait for.'
Andy thought about it and figured that if the waiting time is included, it will be no more than 90 days at most.
Three months later, everything will be revealed.
The blood flowed, and Reed stood in the same place, still whispering the incantation.
After about three minutes, the blood on Reed's wrist stopped flowing, and the dark magic transfiguration ritual was officially over.
Andy walked up and took Reed's wand.
Throughout the entire process, Reed did not show the slightest intention of resistance.
"It seems like I underestimated the effect of the Imperius Curse."
Andy muttered before waving his wand and lifting the magical barrier that had enveloped the entire cemetery.
The fat cat Patronus also flew back.
Fortunately, during the dark magic transfiguration ritual, there was not even a single shadow of a creature, let alone a human, in the cemetery.
"Well done!"
After dispersing the fat cat patronus, Andy placed a hand on Reed's shoulder.
With a light sound, Andy and Reed returned to the basement.
Andy put Reed back in the iron cage and gave him a vial of Dittany and a roll of bandages to treat his wounds.
Then Andy took out enough food and water for seven days from the pocket that had been enchanted with the undetectable extension charm and put them in the iron cage together.
Click –
The iron cage was relocked!
"..." Andy looked at Reed in silence for a while.
After thinking about it, Andy decided not to lift the Imperius Curse on Reed for the time being.
What if Reed was a stubborn person who would rather die than submit?
Andy didn't want to take any risks.
Instead of leaving the decision to Reed, he would continue to control him with the Imperius Curse and keep the decision in his own hands.
At most, he would come back every three days to cast the Imperius Curse on Reed.
After making sure there were no problems in the basement, Andy returned to the stone chamber above and closed and locked the trapdoor.
Pop!
Andy once again used the Apparition spell and returned to the Hogwarts Forbidden Forest.
Nine o'clock!
Andy was a little distressed.
There was too much time to spare, and Andy had to wait for two hours before he could go back.
After thinking for a while, Andy cast the Disillusionment Charm to hide his figure and made his way to the seventh floor of the castle, where he opened the magic practice room in the Room of Requirement.
Time was pressing, and Andy could not waste any.
Since the start of the school year, Andy had saved up another [Potential Point].
If you count the previous ones, Andy now had a total of four [Potential Points].
The experiment of dark magic transfiguration would last for 70 to 90 days.
Based on the previous progress, Andy will be able to increase the attributes of 'Mind' and 'Will' to six points at the same time.
Although it is still a bit short of the ideal seven points, if Andy continues to wait, he will have to wait for another five months.
That will be in April or May next year.
'...Let's see the results of Reed's experiment first!'
Andy thought about it for a while and decided to wait until Reed's dark magic transfiguration experiment was over...to see the results, and then decide what state to use to complete his own dark magic transfiguration.
Boom——
While pondering, an orange flash of light flashed through the practice room, followed by an explosion.
The humanoid wooden target was instantly blown to pieces!
The scattered fragments were still marked with several lines of reddish-orange streaks.
The orange lines seemed to be carrying the fiery heat, and when they hit the wall or fell to the ground, the pieces exploded a second time.
Boom!
"Hoo..."
Andy let out a breath, 'Fusion magic is already showing results.'
