Chapter 5
The Nott Tome has many dark spells, beware of what charms and hexes, jinxes and incantations, and anything else that may lie ahead. You have been warned…
-Cornelius Gabriel Nott, Minister of Magic 1723-1734
Bernard examined the spell section of his family tome carefully. From appendage slicing to instantly cooking food, the Nott volume was the most variegated compared to other noble house's.
Page 29. Ink-Ruin. By Diederich Adelwine Nacht (Nott), 1587. To destroy a section of writing or art using the medium of ink on parchment. No matter the dark wards or spells on the piece, the subject will immediately fade. Incantation: tintineruine Etymology: German
Bernard grinned. Perfect. He summoned a piece of parchment, his occamy quill, and a bottle of ink from Flourish and Blotts. On the parchment, he wrote, 'Edgar Selvinius Nott can bugger off.' Then, he performed a series of spells on the parchment. Bernard began with a dark hair-removal charm, followed by a triggering jinx, and a blood ward to finish it off.
He put the parchment onto his desk, stood up, and pushed his chair back. "diffindo." The spell sliced a small cut onto his index finger, and he allowed a drop of blood to fall onto the paper. Knowing the ward had dropped, he took a deep breath, and spoke clearly, "tintineruine." The ink faded, without the triggering jinx or hair-removal charm being put to use. 'Edgar Selvinius Nott can bugger off.' turned into a blank piece of parchment with a drop of blood in the bottom left corner. Bernard cracked a huge smile. He'd done it.
