Chapter 218: Removing the Trace (Second Update)

Listening to Arthur's detailed explanation of how to modify a magic car, Jerry activated "Brain Boost" to quickly understand and memorize the information. He marveled at Arthur's unique insights into Alchemy, which were indeed not covered in the Magic books he had read before.

In general Alchemy, the focus is on the creation of normal magical items.

For example, applying the Undetectable Extension Charm to various objects to increase their spatial capacity, how to make the simplest broomstick, and how to ensure Magic remains effective in items over a long period.

Most of the magical items you see in Diagon Alley are created by combining Alchemy and Magic.

However, Arthur's explanations in Alchemy mostly revolve around how to integrate Magic with Muggle modern technology, highlighting the key points and small tricks he has discovered.

Perhaps because this is a relatively peaceful era, most of the alchemical techniques Arthur described are aimed at making everyday use more convenient and comfortable.

For instance, increasing the spatial capacity of a car to accommodate more people, adding invisibility features to avoid detection by Muggles, and so on.

Jerry, on the other hand, wanted to delve deeper into applying these techniques to other spells.

For example, adding an Armor Charm to the magic car to significantly enhance its defensive capabilities, or incorporating some offensive spells, Dark Magic, or curses.

However, his ultimate goal was not to modify a car but to upgrade his twelve robot soldiers. He would need to improve his Alchemy skills before he could start this research.

As evening approached, Hermione's family used Floo Powder to leave The Burrow and return to London, while Jerry decided to stay behind.

Jerry's reason for staying was simple: to spend a few days learning Arthur's Alchemy techniques.

Of course, the external reason was to exchange Cooking Magic experiences with Mrs. Weasley, learning British and French cuisine, and sharing some Chinese recipes with her.

He ended up staying for more than a week.

Three days before the start of the school term, Jerry used Floo Powder to return to the Leaky Cauldron in London.

"Tom, do you know if the Ministry of Magic's Trace is placed on the body or the wand?"

"Body!"

"Do you know how to remove the Trace from the body early?"

"Jerry, why do you ask?"

"Because I feel the Trace is a significant restriction, preventing me from using Magic in the Muggle world. Without the Trace's monitoring, I could have used Magic to torment those who bullied me at the orphanage!"

"The Trace cannot be removed early, or it will be detected by the Ministry of Magic's monitoring witches!"

Reading Voldemort's reply in the diary, Jerry furrowed his brow and continued writing:

"Is there no good way? I want to use some Dark Magic I secretly learned to teach them a lesson when I return for Christmas!"

"There is a way, but you must agree to a condition!"

A line of text appeared in the diary.

Jerry quickly wrote with his quill:

"What condition?"

"I want you to visit the girls' bathroom on the second floor after school starts and retrieve something for me!"

Reading the text in the diary, Jerry's eyes narrowed.

The girls' bathroom on the second floor, if he remembered correctly, is the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets. It seems the Voldemort in the diary has sensed something.

Indeed, the soul of Voldemort in the diary is not the same as the one who had split into multiple Horcruxes and become insane. This is the younger Voldemort, whose intellect was still at its peak.

After guiding Jerry in Magic multiple times and feeling no loosening of Jerry's soul, he realized that Jerry was not as easy to deceive as he appeared on the surface.

If Jerry had even the slightest trust in him, he would have found a way to exploit it.

So, he had decisively decided to abandon Jerry and plan to lure Jerry into the Chamber of Secrets, where the Basilisk would kill Jerry. Then, he would select a more naive young wizard.

Only in this way could he quickly obtain a new body and resume the plans his main body had left unfinished.

"That's too easy, it's a small matter. Just tell me how to deal with the Trace, and I'll go to the second-floor girls' bathroom to find the thing for you right after school starts!"

Jerry replied without hesitation.

Going to the Chamber of Secrets suited him just fine. He had already planned to go there, as the Basilisk was a very powerful Fantastic Beast, and it was a thousand-year-old Basilisk at that.

"The principle of the Trace is that when Magic power fluctuates nearby, it sends a special Magic marker a few seconds later. This marker is captured by a Magic device at the Ministry of Magic.

So, if you can shield the Magic fluctuations when casting a spell, the Trace won't be triggered, and the Ministry of Magic won't detect it!"

After reading Voldemort's explanation, Jerry finally understood why Harry had said that when the house-elf Dobby used Magic at his aunt's house, the Ministry of Magic blamed him.

Harry was the only Witch in his aunt's house, so when the Trace's Magic marker was triggered, the Ministry of Magic naturally assumed it was Harry who had used Magic.

"How can I shield the Magic fluctuations when casting a spell?"

Jerry continued to ask.

Voldemort replied:

"That requires a special spell, one created by a great Witch, the Shielding Charm!"

Voldemort then taught Jerry the incantation and the technique for casting the Shielding Charm in great detail.

With his solid Magic foundation and the help of Brain Boost, Jerry quickly mastered this spell invented by Voldemort, which could specifically shield Magic fluctuations.

In fact, after learning it, Jerry realized that he had seen the effect of the Shielding Charm before.

The reason Voldemort's diary did not emit a strong Dark Magic aura when closed was that it had been enchanted with a Shielding Charm through Alchemy.

With the Shielding Charm, Jerry no longer worried about the Ministry of Magic detecting his Magic use.

As long as he cast the Shielding Charm on himself before each spell, he could freely use various Magic for at least an hour without triggering the Trace left in his body by the Ministry of Magic.

The Phantom Shift spell and the Shielding Charm—Jerry had already obtained two extremely useful spells from Voldemort.

However, this was just the beginning. He believed that with a bit more effort, he would have more gains.

Once he had extracted all the Magic knowledge from the younger Voldemort in the diary, it would be the day the soul was sealed into the Matryoshka Doll for eternal slumber.

But he still had to act the part. Otherwise, the younger Voldemort, who was not foolish, would not fall for it so easily.
