Malfoy Rise at Hogwarts

Chapter 3
Since Schelling triggered the magic riot, Lucius couldn't wait to train Schelling to learn magic.To the surprise and joy of the whole family, Schelling's talent for learning extended to the field of magic.

Schelling also showed outstanding talent in the study of magic. He learned all kinds of magic knowledge at once, and even asked some questions that Lucius couldn't answer from time to time. It didn't take long for Lucius to give up teaching Schelling himself and let Schelling tinker and study by himself.

As a top student in his previous life, Xie Lin omitted the process of learning language and characters. Since he was 4 years old, he has inherited his previous life's thirst for knowledge and tireless learning. He often reads books in the family library.

For centuries, the members of the Malfoy family have been enriching the family's collection of books. The general categories of books include everything, whether it is history, charms, transfiguration, herbalism, warcraft, or even the rare and unpopular ancient magic literature and alchemy.

There are quite a few rare and rare books in it. The value of an out-of-print magic book is incalculable, it can be said to be priceless.These are the roots of the inheritance of the pure-blood wizard family, and no one will take them out unless it is absolutely necessary.

Schelling's favorite is historical books. Through the family's historical documents, he can gain a deeper and more complete understanding of the magical world than the original books.

He deeply understands that this is a complete magical world, and everyone is a living character. In this world, there are not only the savior Harry and his little friends, but also the Dark Lord Voldemort and his followers, and more people and lives of all kinds, such as the spellbreaker of the Egyptian pyramid, the magical biologist who traveled the world, the alchemist who created magical items, and so on.

What makes Xie Lin more puzzled and puzzled is that, as a family that leans towards the Dark Lord in the original book, there are no books about black magic in the library. Is it because black magic books are inherently dangerous, and their parents are worried that they will have accidents due to accidental contact with their elder brother, so they have been kept separately by their parents?

Pure blood families, especially the holy 28 pure blood families, all have ancient and incomparably ancient historical backgrounds.

Regardless of the fact that several pure-blood families in the original book were obsequious in front of Voldemort, the real background of these families was never reflected in force and battle, but relied on monopolizing the profiteering industries in the magic world to control the economic lifeline of the magic world, and then possessed inexhaustible wealth and strong political influence.

What enables them to do this is not simple wealth inheritance, but the various very precious magical secrets mastered by these ancient families. For example, the Ollivander family, which has a history of more than 2000 years, relies on controlling the secrets of making wands, thereby creating wealth by monopolizing one-third of the wand industry.

These documents, which record family secrets, are the most precious treasures of a family.

Xie Lin knew that there were only a few years before Voldemort's return, and if he wanted to protect himself, or even protect his family, he had to race against time to increase his strength.He was originally a top student, and he worked harder than ordinary people to absorb all the knowledge in the family library.

The relationship between Schelling and Dobby was already very good. Under Schelling's hard work for several years, he finally succeeded in persuading Dobby at the age of 5 to sneak into the family's secret room under the living room with his apparition while the whole family was out.

Because the entrance to the secret room is blocked by heavy protective magic, it is impossible to enter without the correct unlocking spell, but the protective magic in the wizarding world has a loophole, that is, it does not pay attention to the magic of creatures that are considered inferior to them, such as house elves.That's why Schelling can rely on Dobby to use the elf magic unique to house elves to sneak into the secret room.

On the ceiling of the secret room hung a few skulls emitting strange fluorescence, filling the dark secret room with a little faint light.Rows of shelves can be seen on the four walls, and the shelves are filled with many strange objects that can be seen full of traces of black magic at a glance, including black skulls, blood-stained daggers, strangely shaped masks, rusty chains, and so on.

None of these items came with any instructions, so Schelling was blind to their names and how to use them.

Schelling moved cautiously in the small secret room. The cautious Schelling tried his best to avoid accidentally touching any items here. Just kidding, even Dumbledore and other characters who accidentally encountered Voldemort's cursed object were dead. As his father was a former Death Eater, Schelling was sure that he definitely had a lot of such terrible black magic items.

Among the numerous objects, Schelling recognized one of them. 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 Tom Riddle's name written on it.

Xie Lin knew that this was the first Horcrux in Voldemort's life, and with Xie Lin's current strength, he would not touch it rashly to seek hardship.

After a quick glance over these terrifying black magic items, Xie Lin came to the corner dedicated to storing books.The books here are very old, and some covers are even so worn that even the words on them are unreadable.Schelling picked out 3 magic books from the pile of books, namely "Dark Potion", "Fallen Creatures" and "Abatel Volume One".

These three books look very old from the outside, and a lot of content in them is even written with ancient runic talismans.

Then Xie Lin found the family spell note in a hidden compartment, which recorded the secret spell that was only passed down to the descendants of the family, and asked Dobby to copy a copy for himself.Since little wizards before the age of 11 are not allowed to have a wand in the British wizarding world, Schelling can only copy the release principle and method of the spell in advance, but cannot really learn to use it.

["Dark Potion" obtained! "Fallen Creatures" obtained! Obtained "Abatel Volume [-]"! 】

【Malfoy's Family Heirloom Curse Obtained!】

When Schelling was about to leave with a lot of harvest, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of an old, dusty hourglass in the corner. If Schelling's magic eyes hadn't seen the faint magic fluctuations on the hourglass, the old appearance of this item would not have attracted anyone's attention.

In the magical world, items such as hourglasses and pocket watches that can emit magical fluctuations usually only mean one thing-this item has time magic attached to it!

With a lot of excitement, Xie Lin packed the hourglass and took it away, then summoned Dobby, imitated the magic book and the counterfeit hourglass with elf-specific magic, put them back, carefully erased all traces, and then apparated away with Dobby.

[Time Hourglass Obtained! 】

That's right, this time hourglass is a time converter, the first sample handed down from the Middle Ages.In the sequel of the original book, when all the known time converters at that time had been completely destroyed, Lucius still had Theodore Nott create two brand new time converters for him from scratch. Nott may have a bit of talent, but Schelling in his previous life had always been very skeptical that Nott could make a time converter without samples or reference drawings.

At this moment, Schelling confirmed his conjecture in his previous life—in fact, Lucius had one of the oldest time converters long ago, and Nott just used it as a model to improve a more practical time converter.

Time magic is one of the most mysterious fields of magic. Xie Lin knew that time magic had many rules, and he didn't want to cause dire consequences for breaking the rules.

This oldest time-turner, although flipping the hourglass can only bring Schelling back one hour each time, is enough for Schelling. What he needs is more time for reading and studying, similar to Hermione's usage of overstudy in the third grade in the original book. To be able to get such a cheat at the beginning, Schelling has to lament how lucky he is.

Although there is no limit to the number of times the time 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, Schelling only repeatedly flipped the hourglass four times a day, and used the extra four hours to study, so that he was intoxicated in reading and learning day after day.

There are hundreds of books in Zangshu Pavilion, but with the help of Time Hourglass, Xie Lin read all the books at the age of 9, and possessed an amount of knowledge that is difficult for ordinary people.

As for the three black magic books, Xie Lin does not plan to touch them for the time being, because black magic books usually have their own dangers, and it is undoubtedly reckless and stupid to contact Xie Lin with his current strength.As for Malfoy's family magic, although Schelling had never practiced it, he had already memorized the steps and details of casting spells by heart.

With nothing to do, Xie Lin started to use his brain again.
