Chapter 247: Ancient Potions (7)

Charlie, the Death Eater Hunter, looked up slightly, and saw that the sun was turning behind the top of the spire of Hogwarts magic, the familiar Hogwarts gates, the familiar students in black house robes, and nothing seemed to have changed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Charlie has very few memories of his father, who was always busy, and would leave before dawn, and would only come back at night when Charlie couldn't help but fall asleep. Father rarely said goodnight to himself, once Charlie was in a state of confusion, felt his father's hard stubble across his face, itchy, Charlie couldn't help but move his head to the side, muttered a few words in his sleep, turned around, and continued to sleep. The next day, Charlie, who turned eleven years old, boarded the express train to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, accompanied by his mother.

"Mom, is Dad really busy?" Seeing that the other children were all sent by their parents, Charlie couldn't help but ask.

"Charlie, Dad said goodbye to you last night, but you slept so well that Dad didn't wake you up. Mom said seriously. Charlie couldn't help but think of his father holding the candlestick, coming to the edge of his little bed, bowing his head, and asking himself softly, his mother standing at the door of the room, smiling at this scene. Charlie didn't know if it was really happening in his sleep, or if it was just his own fantasy based on his mother's words.

After starting Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Charlie and his dad saw each other even less. Barely seeing each other a few times a year, Charlie never knew what his father was busy with, and his mother said that his father was a relic wizard who specialized in exploring ancient ruins for the big family. But as Charlie grew older, he began to have doubts about it.

Although Dad has always been mysterious and vague in Charlie's memory, Mom's warmth has never been absent from Charlie's life. Charlie loves her mother very much, she is a small witch with a slight fortune, and her mother seems to go around the kitchen every day. On one occasion, Charlie brought back some seeds from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, which were assignments given by the professor in the herbology class for the students to plant during the summer.

It turned out to be the seed of the bell flower, but I didn't expect Sprout to still like to assign such practical tasks to students. Hearing his mother's words, Charlie seemed to find out for the first time that his mother was also a graduate of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Before, Charlie had never noticed this.

"Mom, which house are you from?" asked Charlie hurriedly.

"Oh, Mom was assigned to Hufflepuff House at that time, and the head of Hufflepuff at that time was Professor Song. Song was an interesting man, he liked to teach herbs from the Far East in his herbal classes, and sometimes had his students make a medicinal diet together, which he said was a weakened version of the elixir and made the wizard happy. Mom recalls with a smile.

Charlie talked to his mother about a lot of interesting things about Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry that night, and the two of them ate for more than two hours after a very simple dinner. When the candles on the candlestick were about to burn out, Dad also returned.

Charlie's father was surprised to find his wife and son cleaning up the dishes. "Honey, I'll keep you for your supper, and you can warm yourself up after you take a shower. ā€

"Dad, you came back so early today. Charlie greeted his dad seriously.

"Well, today a long-prepared project has finally been completed, and the director has let us back early. Charlie, is your vacation begining?"

"yes, it's been more than 40 days, and I don't know what to do. "Charlie has made a lot of friends at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and it's really hard to get used to being separated from his friends.

"If you're bored, I'll visit my place of work tomorrow, because it's boring after a long time, but sometimes it's fun. ā€

Hearing his father say this suddenly, Charlie looked at his father in surprise, in his impression, his father would never be so active, after making sure that it was not a dream, Charlie nodded vigorously.

With great anticipation, Charlie arrived at his father's place of work the next day. An old castle on the outskirts of London, with mottled walls, overgrown with morning glory vines and some wildflowers whose names are unknown. The stone-paved path passes through an ankle-length lawn, and the morning sun shines brightly on the morning dew.

The gate requires a certified wand, and once you enter the hall, there are already several wizards waiting there. "Pete, you're a little late today, we're all ready. One of the middle-aged brown-haired witches said to Charlie's father as she looked at Charlie curiously.

"Emma, I brought my son over today, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is on vacation, and he wants to come and see what I do. Pete said.

"So that's this kid. Boy, your dad often tells us about you, and I heard that you did well at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and that you contributed a lot of points to the house?" said another younger wizard.

For the first time, I realized that my father not only cared about him very much, but also felt proud of himself, which Charlie couldn't put into words. Seeing that Charlie did not speak, everyone thought he was shy.

"It seems that it has expired, yes, today Pete is still in charge of coordination, and you guys continue to assist him. I had a day off yesterday, and today I'm not in bad shape, so I should be able to finish it in one go. "A slightly balding middle-aged wizard came down from the second floor.

"Fili, yesterday was called a break, so I left work on time, at best!" Emma scoffed.

The wizard named Filip didn't mean to be embarrassed or angry, and he turned his attention to Charlie. "Fili, this is my son, and he wants to come and see my work. Pete said to Filip.

"Pete, our job is special, you should understand that a child, if not careful, the consequences can be very serious!" said Filip with some dissatisfaction.

"I know, he's just looking outside, and I won't let him enter the Demon Pattern Formation. Pete said.

Although his face is a little ugly, Pete has always been the main force of the project, and he usually doesn't like to talk very much, and his personality is stubborn, Filip doesn't want to be overly offended, so he has to nod and say: "Okay, Pete, this year's efforts all depend on this day, you should understand that once you fail, a year's hard work will be in vain." ā€

Pete nodded slightly. A total of eight wizards, including Charlie's father Pete, walked down a spiraling staircase for more than ten minutes to reach a huge room. The room was surrounded by some magic balls that emitted milky white light, and in the middle of the room was a huge three-dimensional magic pattern formation, emitting a light blue light, and within the three-dimensional formation, a long pestle-like thing that looked like a long bread was half a meter long, with a diameter like an adult's arm, floating quietly in the air.

"Charlie, you stand in the doorway, don't do anything, watch Daddy work. Pete said seriously to Charlie. Pete himself doesn't know why, he wanted Charlie to come to see his work yesterday, perhaps because today will be the most critical day, once successful, this year's hard work, day and night repair, will be the highest reward.

Charlie nodded earnestly. Pete and two other wizards entered the magic pattern formation, and the three of them formed a triangle around the floating pestle, while the other four wizards, including Emma, stood outside the magic pattern formation, holding wands in their hands, and watched the situation inside the magic pattern formation, and the last slightly younger wizard who had spoken to Charlie stood beside Charlie, observing the situation.

Before the three of Pete entered the magic pattern formation, they put their wands outside, and at this time, the three of them were using magic with their bare hands, and different colors of magic power emanated from the hands of the three of them, and then slowly wrapped around the pestle. And the four people outside the magic pattern formation, each of them controlled multiple magic wands, the magic wand and the magic pattern formation were connected, and with the injection of the magic power of the four people, the magic pattern formation slowly run.

"What are they doing?" in such a serious atmosphere, Charlie's voice became much quieter.

The wizard who looked big just now looked at the arena intently, and explained in the same whisper: "They will repair the treasure again." ā€

"Repair the Noble Phantasm, then why don't they use a wand, I've heard the professor say that the Repair Spell can repair the Noble Phantasm. Charlie asked, puzzled.

The wizard gave Charlie a quick look, as if he wanted to laugh, but he didn't laugh, and turned back into the middle of the field. "Repair spells?Noble Phantasms are not a cup, the cup is broken, and they can be repaired with repair spells, but Noble Phantasms are different, they are restored as before, and they have no effect on them. ā€

"But the professor said that as long as the magic is strong enough, the repair spell can fix anything, even if the wand is broken in two. ā€

The corners of the wizard's mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't help laughing, "Little Charlie, a wand is just the simplest kind of treasure. Of course, some powerful wands are also very complex, and can even be considered top-level treasures. But most wands have a very simple structure, nothing more than wood and animal nerves, and the repair spell is indeed more than enough to deal with such a simple treasure. But some of the treasures are completely different. For example, the treasure in front of you from the ancient ruins of the Southern Continent, its previous user may have been a Awakened Wizard, and its structure is almost different from the magic patterns we know. If you want this treasure to shine again, you can't fix the spell. ā€

Charlie nodded as if he didn't understand, the light of the magic pattern formation became stronger, Charlie could still clearly see his father's serious appearance, the magic pattern formation and the three wizards began to connect, the three wizards were like generals, commanding the magic power of the magic pattern formation, and began to slowly enter the pestle.

For a whole day, with a break in between, the eight ate a little and then continued.

Charlie witnessed firsthand how a treasure could shine like never before if it was restored little by little. It was also the closest Charlie and his father had, and after it was done, Pete couldn't help but hug Charlie. In the same way, from that time on, the seeds of tenacity and calmness, like those days, were planted deep in Charlie's heart.

"Let's go, Charlie, what's the fuss?" said Xia Nai impatiently, not knowing what happened to Charlie lately, always looking distracted. If he was now reminiscing about the days at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Charlie was starting to get old.

Urged by Xia Nai, Charlie came back to his senses from all kinds of memories, smiled and said: "Xia Nai, you just want to see Andrew Lee like this, as a lady, what about your reserve?" Charlie looked cynical, but who knows what kind of delicate heart is hidden behind this look.

"If you want to care, I just like Andrew, how about it? I was born in the wasteful city, whoever I like, I'm going to chase it!" Xia Nai raised her head magically and yelled at Charlie.

"But I've heard that Andrew already has a boyfriend, are you going to be a third party?" said Charlie.

"What a third party, it's so ugly! I snatched Andrew, that is the real girlfriend, that girl can only be regarded as the ex-girlfriend, how can there be any triangular relationship, only the relationship between the current and the ex. You know?"

"But I've heard they're on good terms, Xana, you're really confident..."

"I heard, I heard, Charlie, are you deliberately angry with the old lady, let me tell you, I will not give up!" Xia Nai waved his fist and said.

Charlie shrugged his shoulders and entered Hogwarts School first. It's school time, and it's quiet inside the school. When the two of them arrived at the auditorium, they found that there were already five or six wizards waiting on the side.

"Charlie, you're finally here, I thought you wouldn't be here this time. Miguel, the former partner, had sharp eyes and saw Charlie at once.

Seeing that his old friend didn't seem to have changed much except for less hair, Charlie smiled and said, "Miguel, you came quite early today, what's the matter, you still want to do a big career? Take this opportunity to make a big news?"

Miguel was slightly embarrassed, and Xia Nai said indifferently: "What's the matter, Charlie, don't you believe that Miguel has a lofty ideal? I can't get used to you like this, other people's dreams, so I try my best to laugh at others, Miguel, I support you!"

Xia Nai's words attracted everyone's attention, but made Miguel even more embarrassed, Xia Nai didn't find out, and said to everyone: "I heard that we are going to prepare for the second level of the tournament, do you know what it is?"

No one answered, and at this point, Professor Minerva McGonagall appeared.

"It should all be here, you are the first batch, all of them are former Aurors or active Aurors, the ministry believes in you very much, now you come with me. Professor McGonagall didn't talk nonsense, took the roll call according to the list, checked them one by one, and led a few people out of the auditorium.

"Professor McGonagall, I didn't expect that after all these years, you still haven't changed at all, and you're still so beautiful. Charlie took a few quick steps and caught up with Professor McGonagall.

"Charlie, don't give me a flamboyant tongue, you haven't changed, you're still that naughty. Professor McGonagall walked in the front and couldn't smile at all.

"Professor, look at what you said, I have always been a child in your mind? and 'naughty', how old am I. Charlie retorted.

"Charlie, whether it's you or another student, in my eyes, you will always be children. Professor McGonagall said flatly.

"Okay, Professor. This is indeed your right. Charlie smiled wryly and looked at a few wizards who had also graduated from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and were not too old.

After making their way through the winding corridors of the castle, they finally came to an open field where three wizards were already waiting.

"Mad-Eye Moody, why is he?" Charlie glanced at the former Auror team leader standing in the middle of the field, Alastor Moody.
