Chapter 99: The Story of the Grim Reaper

How time works, not many wizards can explain. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe most powerful witch king, legend has it that Morgan Le Fay is the only wizard who can travel through time. Stephen Hawking's brief history of time is now the bedside reading of many enlightened wizards, and Shay, as a doomsday warrior, doesn't know much about these powerful sciences. It's not that Xie An doesn't want to understand, it's that he doesn't have the time or the conditions to understand these things.

As the clock ticked by, the long-awaited drama performance of Hogwarts School students and teachers was finally going to begin, this time with Headmaster Dumbledore and all the professors in attendance, and they would play a role in the performance.

Xie An has expectations for this drama, although in the apocalyptic world, these things cannot exist, but it is really a very touching thing to be able to watch other people's stories. Most of the actors are played by students, and two of the three main roles of the three brothers are played by junior students.

The Savior Boy plays the third of the three brothers, I heard that Dumbledore personally appointed it, and Draco Malfoy actually got into the position of the protagonist, playing the second of the three brothers, and the eldest is also a person Xie An is more familiar with, Cedric Diggory of Hufflepuff. The three brothers were very excited and dedicated, and they asked Professor McGonagall for the script early, and they all worked hard to rehearse it. Penelope Crivat gave them the costumes and asked them to dress up in the costumes of the ancient English wizards, and the three of them dressed themselves in a new way, and discussed the script with great excitement, not realizing that they were actually from three completely different houses. Dumbledore was indeed very powerful, and this could indeed facilitate the exchange of the three houses.

Although the story is ready-made, it takes a certain amount of skill to adapt it into a screenplay, Dumbledore is not an expert in this area, and if Gilderoy Lockhart was still alive, he might try it, but Professor Gilderoy is dead.

In desperation, Dumbledore had no choice but to ask one of his friends, Horace Slughorn, to help him, and asked a Daily Prophet pen to help, and in the end, it actually fell on Rita Skeeter. The journalist had always been known as a man who had been eye-catching by breaking the news, but it was surprising that Rita Skeeter had studied at an authentic Muggle school, and that she was also a PhD in classics and journalism in a Muggle school. The study of the wizarding world may not have these two courses, but Muggle schools have a long history, and it is surprising that a wizard can seriously study in the Muggle world, let alone a pure born wizard like Rita Skeeter.

Rita Skeeter's change of script is very regular, perhaps it is the first time Rita Skeeter has done such a thing, and the wizarding world has never seen such a script, Rita Skeeter has become uncharacteristically cautious this time.

With the script, a dedicated coordinator on the spot is needed, and this person is actually Professor McGonagall. Professor McGonagall also traveled to the Muggle world as a young man, but she was a conservative wizard with little interest in the Muggle world, she loved learning about wizarding customs around the world, and once traveled to South America. She had lived for a time in an ancient tribe in the Alps, where she had learned some of the ancient rituals from the local witch doctors, including tribal dances!

When Xie An knew the role he was going to play, he was also very surprised, he was going to play the killer who killed the boss and snatched his magic wand! Xie An looked at his role profile in disbelief, Professor Flitwick said that who should play the role was discussed by the professors, could it be that this role was arranged by Dumbledore for himself? It seems that Dumbledore is still very afraid of himself. Isn't it Tom Riddle's character who snatches power like this, and is Dumbledore still afraid of becoming the new Dark Lord?

The script was distributed to each of the students, and everyone seemed to be given a role, Neville Longbottom actually played a Muggle who lost his son, the Weasley twins were given a decent role, playing the role of the tavern owner who hosted the boss, Ginny Weasley also got a supporting role, playing the lover of the second brother who came back from the dead, and Hermione Granger played the narrator, reading the narration to everyone.

The Great Hall was completely transformed by powerful magic, and the entire space was expanded several times, turning it into a small oval-shaped Colosseum-like theater. Everyone sat around a stage the size of a basketball court in the middle. The Quidditch Stadium is different from the Muggle opera house in that wizards can summon near-real scenes by magic.

The senior students are holding magic wands, constantly walking around the field, they have powerful transformation spells, all kinds of props through various magic or summoning, or transformation, or illusion, in short, an empty stage, very mysterious. Some fifth-graders are responsible for transforming plants and trees, some sixth-graders are responsible for transforming small animals, and some seventh-graders seem to be casting magic on the ceiling to control the weather and sunlight.

The first- and second-year students were the main force of the cast, and everyone was already dressed in their own costumes, and Professor Flitwick, who was about to play an interesting role, seemed to be playing the role of an elderberry tree, standing motionless in the background.

Xie An looked at the deformed dagger in his hand, he would use this dagger as a weapon to kill Cedric Diggory and take away the elder staff in his hand, thinking of this, Xie An couldn't help but be speechless for a while.

There was a lot of talk among the students, except for the students who had tasks, everyone had done a good job. Only Severus Snape sat in the first row, and it seemed that the other professors were in attendance. Libreta Skeeter, the author of the screenplay, also sat in the first row, looking at the venue with an expectant look.

"Once upon a time there were three brothers, traveling on a remote and winding road, at dusk..."With Hermione's melodious reading, the whole theater began to change, and the reality of the three brothers played by Cedric Diggory, Draco Malfoy, and Harry Potter walked out of a corner, and the field began to change, the plants and trees from the magic changed grew and withered, and a winding road slowly paved in between. The weather magic on the ceiling also began to change slowly, and the magic that could only express the night scene actually projected the light of the setting sun, and the entire auditorium was dyed with a layer of gold, Xie An knew that controlling these magic required at least a dozen seventh-grade students to work together. It seems that this acting mainly relies on the junior students, and the backstage affairs are handed over to the seniors in the upper grades.

The three brothers passed through a Muggle village, where a memorial ceremony was being held, the eldest wanted to see what was going on, the second didn't care, the third just wanted to hurry up, and didn't want to have more rights and wrongs. It was getting late, and although the three of them were used to living a wandering life, they didn't want to miss the journey, so at the insistence of the third child, the three had to continue on the road.

The three brothers were not slow, and they had a strong magic, and they rushed to a small river in time before the sun completely set, and as Hermione's words fell, a small river with a turbulent water appeared out of thin air on the field, and everyone exclaimed, although the small river was not wide, but it seemed that the water was turbulent and bottomless.

The river looks calm, but in fact there is a hidden danger that is difficult to cross, the second child smiled absently and was about to cast a magic, the boss had already taken out his wand and built a bridge over the river out of thin air.

"A small river! The water is very clear. The second smiled indifferently.

"I heard those Muggles from afar say that a child had drowned in the river. "Although the third child hates trouble, he is very observant.

"Let's go, the river is dangerous for Muggles, and for us wizards, it's just a minor nuisance. "The boss didn't care about the lead and walked on the bridge.

"Before they crossed the bridge, however, they found that the road was blocked by a masked shadow...", explained Hermione Granger's voice, and with no background music, Hermione's narration became a conduit for everyone to understand the story. The level of Hermione's voice seemed to directly tug at the heartstrings of the audience.

A shadow shrouded in gray mist appeared, and no one could see who played the role of the god of death, and the figure shrouded in the gray mist looked tall, but the face could not be seen clearly. The wizard's magic captures a completely real scene and transforms into a real character.

The river flowed in the middle of the field, and the three of them stood at the head of the bridge, looking at the gray shadows opposite.

"Who are you, and why are you blocking our way?" asked Cedric Diggory, the eldest of the three brothers, fearlessly.

"Who am I? I don't know who I am! I've been wandering for as long as I can remember, you can call me homeless. Gray Shadow's voice was hoarse, and he couldn't hear men and women.

"Stand aside and get out of the way. Get out of the way for us, you old man!" the second looked at the gray shadow's tattered wizard robes, and although he couldn't see the depth of the gray shadow, he couldn't help but scold.

Gray Shadow shifted his attention from the brave boss to the proud second one, "Honorable strongman, I'm just a poor traveler, I was waiting on the other side, hoping that someone could help me cross this rushing river, but fortunately you came, I just saw you build this bridge out of thin air, am I dazzled? Or do you really have such great power?"

The second eldest Draco Malfoy heard the words of envy and surprise from the Grim Reaper, his chin raised high, and he said proudly, "We are wizards who master magic, and this little thing can be done easily. ”

The third child cautiously looked at the gray shadow opposite, and always felt that things were not so simple, just now he and carefully observed, there was no one on the other side, where did this mysterious guy come from?

"Magic! You have terrible magic! Oh my God, throw away that terrible power, it will doom you!" said Grey Shadow, feigning surprise.

"What, what are you talking about, you doubt the benefits of magic?" said the second child angrily.

"Of course, I've traveled to different places, and I've been to a country where magic flourishes, and people end up destroying the country because they use powerful magic to attack each other!" said Grey Shadow.

"I don't believe it! Get out of the way, don't delay our journey. The second child shouted loudly again.

The third child looked at the tall figure of the gray shadow, and suddenly remembered the legends he had heard, and hurriedly whispered to the eldest brother: "I have heard those Muggle legends, this gray shadow seems to be the shadow of death, the messenger of death, we have to be careful!"

The eldest and second were a little surprised, and the eldest hurriedly said: "Thank you for your warning, we will definitely pay attention in the future, so don't let us go now, we have to hurry!"

Of course, Gray Shadow also heard the third child's whisper, and his attention seemed to shift to the third child again, and Gray Shadow said: "It seems that you don't believe me, it doesn't matter, I can make a bet with you!"

"What bet?" asked the third cautiously.

The Grim Reaper looked at the third child with a desolate gaze and said: "I can fulfill a wish for you in terms of magic, you can make a wish at will, in order to prove that magic is harmful, wait for three years later, we will meet here again, if you live better than before, count me as losing, and the magic gift will be yours forever, if you are worse than now, you will lose, and you will return my things to me, and you will have to pay the price." ”

Although the second child was afraid of the identity of the Grim Reaper, he was extremely confident in his magic and agreed to the bet without hesitation.

The Grim Reaper glanced meaningfully at the three brothers and asked the brave boss to come first.

The boss worships power, and thinks that although he has offended this terrible god of death, if he has great power, he doesn't need to be afraid, let the god of death give him a magic weapon that can defeat all enemies.

The Grim Reaper snapped off a branch from the elderberry next to him, cast a spell and made a powerful wand, and gave it to the Boss.

The second child is extremely confident in his ability, and feels that he can live a happier life without any help from the god of death, so he decides to give the god of death a little color, so he directly makes a wish, to be able to bring people back to life.

The hoarse laughter of the Grim Reaper is heard, and he scoops up a stone from the river full of reflections, casts a spell, and gives it to the second child, telling him that the stone will fulfill his wishes. The dick was happy to turn out the stone.

The third child has been carefully observing, and this matter is full of weirdness. This gray shadow, who claims that he can't even cross the river, can actually fulfill the wishes of the eldest and second brother, he must be a god with a suspicious heart! Knowing that the god of death will not easily let go of the third of his three brothers, he is not satisfied with the choice of the eldest and second brother. The Grim Reaper will definitely find a way to attack the three brothers and cause the three to die. The thought that he had to watch out for the secret plot of the Grim Reaper every day gave the third child a headache.

After thinking about it for a long time, the third child finally came up with a good idea, the only way he wanted to make the god of death not plot was to let the god of death not find him, so the third child made a wish: I hope you can give me a treasure to protect me from being found by you.
