As Professor Baker said, it was not difficult to cast the Disillusionment Charm alone.
First, Baron successfully cast the first Disillusionment Charm after half an hour, turning himself into a mess of colored blocks; then Avada, who had finally observed the magical structure of the Disillusionment Charm, immediately caught up, and after successfully casting the Disillusionment Charm, his level improved rapidly, and he soon achieved a preliminary integration into the environment.
However, Baron was no longer surprised - after a few days of training, he had become accustomed to Avada's slow-start, fast-acceleration and slow-heating learning pattern.
Then, with the further teaching of Professor Baker and the real-time correction of Avada through magical senses, Baron's Disillusionment Charm level also began to improve rapidly, and it only took a moment for him to reach Professor Baker's standard.
This is also the pattern they have maintained since they started training: Baron is responsible for learning and demonstrating to Avada first, then Avada quickly improves the proficiency of the skill, and then gives the results back to Baron... This method, which is comparable to stepping on the left foot to the right foot to reach the sky, has greatly improved their progress speed, and the close cooperation between the two has also made Professor Baker amazed.
However, as Professor Baker said, mastering the Disillusionment Charm is just the beginning.
After Baron passed the Disillusionment Charm, they began to further learn the supporting skills of the Disillusionment Charm: silent walking, eliminating footprints, covering up smells, using obstacles, blocking vision and other tactical actions. If it weren't for the fact that Avada and Baron were only first-year students, Professor Baker would probably have taught them even the silent spell.
Learning magic can rely on magic senses, but there is no shortcut to physical training, especially for Avada, who is not very athletic. In the next few days, even though Professor Baker has taken care of Avada's progress and slowed down the lecture speed, he still felt quite stressed.
However, when his learning results were truly put into practice, Avada only felt that the previous pressure was still less.
When Professor Baker asked them to master the Disillusionment Charm, he once said, "It will come in handy in the process of obtaining magical materials." At that time, the naive Avada did not know the meaning of this sentence, but now the answer is finally revealed...
[Someone is coming, use the Disillusionment Charm, quickly! ]
[Received, hidden. ]
"Hey, Ken? You are here too?"
"Cedric? Are you here to see Professor Baker?"
"Oh, yes, there is a knowledge point in the textbook that I don't quite understand... Did you just find him?"
"I would like to, but he is not in the office now. I am waiting for him here. By the way, what is the knowledge point you don't understand? I have almost learned the second-year defense textbook by myself. Maybe I can help you?"
"Uh... Thank you for your kindness. I'll show it to you and let's discuss it together."
"Well, it doesn't seem difficult. It should be this..."
[Ken, the protection magic has been cracked, and you can go in. ]
"Well, I really can't understand it either. Sorry, I'm a little arrogant and I've wasted your time..."
"Don't worry, don't worry. It's already amazing that you can learn second-grade knowledge by yourself. I'll go to the library and see you tonight."
"Okay, see you tonight..."
After confirming that Cedric had completely left, Avada immediately cast an illusion spell on herself, and quickly and silently turned a corner along the wall, and arrived in front of the Defense Against the Dark Arts office. At this moment, the door that should have been closed had opened a little, and there was a piece of unnatural color next to it.
That's right, Avada and Baron were sneaking into the Defense Against the Dark Arts office.
It was already mid-February. As time went on, the arrangement of the consciousness extraction magic finally reached the last step. But then the two found a problem: it was almost impossible to complete this step by relying on spells alone, and they had to rely on specific magic materials to assist in the "arrangement".
And those materials were either dangerous and banned, or so rare and expensive that even Baron was stunned. When they asked Professor Baker what to do next, Professor Baker had already prepared that some of these materials could be found in the Forbidden Forest, and the other part was collected in his office...
So, with the help of the "Forbidden Forest Biology and Herb Distribution Map" and the "Defense Office Exploration Guide" provided by Professor Baker, the two first sneaked into the Forbidden Forest, collected a lot of herbs, and then teamed up to knock down a small eight-eyed giant spider to collect venom. There was also an accident on the way - the location of their action happened to be stuck on the patrol route of the gamekeeper Rubeus Hagrid.
At that time, Avada sacrificed himself. After removing the Disillusionment Curse, he pretended to be a freshman who was recklessly exploring the Forbidden Forest alone because of his interest in magical creatures. He was caught on the spot by Hagrid, thus covering Baron's actions.
Fortunately, with his rich knowledge of magical creatures and good communication skills, he had a great chat with Hagrid. Finally, after talking to Hagrid about the habits of Hippogriffs for half an hour, Hagrid did not tell Professor Sprout about his behavior, but only criticized him verbally and warned him not to violate school rules and explore the Forbidden Forest in the future. Then, it was
the Defense Against the Dark Arts Office. However,
sneaking into the office is safer than going to the Forbidden Forest. After all, it was a place arranged by Professor Baker himself, and the information provided was the most detailed and comprehensive. Moreover, the living habits of the fake Baker were the same as those of Professor Baker, so he knew clearly when he would leave the office, how long he would be away, and whether he would notice the traces of infiltration after returning.
The only problem is that it takes a certain amount of time to crack the defense and alarm at the door. During this time, other students will inevitably pass by, so one person needs to stand outside to keep watch and communicate with another person through mental connection at all times, which is why the scene just now happened.
Since Hufflepuffs are generally more popular than Slytherins, even though Avada, who has magical senses, can crack the defense faster, he still chooses to stand watch by himself and gives the task of cracking to Baron.
After the defense was completely cracked by Baron, the two carefully opened the gap in the door a little wider, then dodged and squeezed in. After quietly closing the door, they immediately searched according to the given location.
[Part of the material is the leftover material for making crystal balls. The location of this part of the material belongs to the shielded part, and even the fake Baker doesn't know...]
After Avada applied some magic to the soles of his shoes, he squatted on the ground and counted a piece of floor. After tapping it a few times with his wand in a specific rhythm, the floor opened by itself, revealing the bottles and jars in the secret compartment below: [All of these can be taken away without any scruples. ]
[But the other part is hidden in a normal locker, and taking it away rashly will leave traces... Do you have the fake materials for replacement? ]
[Of course. ]
While he was working, Baron also put on protective gloves, accurately opened drawers one by one to take out the useful materials, and then stuffed the fake materials at the bottom so that they would not be so easy to see: [How much time has passed? ]
[There are still twelve minutes before the earliest estimated return time of the fake Baker. ]
Baron accelerated the speed of searching, and Avada checked the required materials one by one to see if they were complete. After a few minutes, they finally completed the collection task.
After that, after carefully eliminating every trace of infiltration and confirming through magical senses that there was no one outside the door, Avada first cast a disillusionment spell on himself, and also cast a spell on the large package in his hand, then opened the door and slipped out, and Baron followed closely behind.
Breaking the protection on the door uses skillful dismantling rather than violent destruction, so there is no need to worry that the protective magic will reveal that someone has been there.
