"Let's talk about demons. Harry said, trying to divert the conversation to keep Hermione and Ron from arguing again, "By the way, Aven, haven't you seen demons before? Tell us more about what a demon looks like?"

"The forms of demons are different, they do not have a fixed form and appearance. The last time I saw the demon in Dijon, France, it was a witch from hundreds of years ago, but by the time I saw it, it had no human form. ”

"Is that a ghost?"

"Much scarier than ghosts. "Well, how do you describe it?" imagine the devil as you think the devil looks, with cold gray-white skin, sharp fangs coming out of its mouth, black horns on its head, deformed claws on its hands, and ......."

"Terrible. Elaine said she hadn't heard Evan talk about the experience.

"yes, it's scary!" said Aven, his memory going back to that night, remembering the ghost that roamed the owl castle, the weird and cunning skeleton, the mirror with the devil, and the sad past and emotional strife, "in short, a disgusting fellow." But what is really scary is not the demon, nor the powerful magic or power it possesses, but the human heart. ”

What struck Evan about that experience was not a demon, but a love triangle full of hurt and lies.

A male witch who is kind on the surface but twisted to the extreme, a demon witch who is vicious in her heart and can kill even her parents without hesitation, and the witch doctor Shukria who does not hesitate to use aphrodisiacs for love and poison everyone in the entire castle, she is the victim, but she is also the murderer.

The human heart is the most terrible thing, as dazzling as the noon sun, which makes people unable to look at it directly.

Devils, demons, and so on are nothing but the embodiment of an ugly human heart.

Because it has a substance, it is no longer so terrible, because it can be defeated and destroyed.

"People's hearts?" Elaine repeated, saying directly, "I don't understand, it's complicated." ”

"It's complicated, and I can't explain it clearly. Evan said, seeing Elaine staring at him intently, remembering that he hadn't explained the fate of how to become a real vampire last night, and hurriedly added, "Actually, you can ask Dumbledore later, I think he should be able to explain what the human heart is." ”

"Forget it, I'm not too interested in these things, I can't eat them. Elaine shook her head.

"I'm curious, how did demons come about?" Hermione asked.

"Different demons are born in different ways, and there are many ways, but they all involve the Demon Altar, which is the core item that summons demons. "Through the Demon Altar, a wizard can transform a person, an object, a name, a soul, or even a product of a thought into a demon, a supernatural creature with infinite life and substance, and let them do things for themselves." ”

"That sounds good. Ron said, "A powerful demonic minion who can help accomplish what you want to do." ”

"There are many ancient warlocks and wizards who did just that, and they gained power and success by raising demons. "Probably the most famous is King Solomon and his Seventy-Two Pillars, who are famous among Muggles and wizards." ”

"Yes, King Solomon, how do you build a demon altar?" Ron immediately asked, "Is it difficult?"

"Then I don't know, demonic magic used to flourish in ancient times, but now it has completely declined, and even if there is a inheritance, it is all forbidden black magic, very evil. Evan replied, "As for the difficulty of summoning demons, I think it shouldn't be too difficult as long as you master the exact method and various materials, it mainly depends on what kind of demon you want to summon." ”

If you want to summon a demon like the Seventy-Two Pillars Demon God, I'm afraid you can't do it even if you're tired to death.

But the summoning they had to make in a moment, the demon in the form of a house-elf, wasn't that hard.

Evan had studied it many times, and all he needed was a house-elf corpse and some magic.

In fact, he knew how to build the two demon altars.

It's all black magic recorded in the book "Secrets of Cutting-edge Black Magic", and Evan has studied it several times, and the difficulty is not too high, but since it is recorded in this kind of magic book, you can imagine how evil the specific spell casting process and the materials needed are.

It's a completely forbidden act like making Horcruxes, so it's better not to say it.

Because we have talked about related topics many times before, soon, everyone will have nothing to say.

They descended the staircase, footsteps echoing through the empty castle.

The murals on the walls on both sides were empty, and the portraits didn't know where they had gone.

Everyone was nervous, and the silence around gave the illusion that there were only five of them left in the castle, and there seemed to be no end to the stairs going down.

Ten minutes later, they came to the picture of a large fruit bowl in the stone gallery in the basement.

Dobby didn't scratch the turquoise pear on the portrait, which was the way to get into the kitchen.

He simply tapped his finger on the edge of the portrait, and the pear began to change, revealing a low, dark, deep foyer.

In addition to Elaine, Avan, Harry, Hermione, and Ron have all been to the kitchen many times.

Evan accompanied Hermione to preach, and Harry and Ron sneaked out in the middle of the night to find food.

They walked in one by one, and soon they were surrounded by a noisy group of house-elves who had rushed out of nowhere, asking them what food they needed.

Hundreds of house-elves are huddled together, and no matter how many times you see them, it is shocking.

But immediately, when it became clear that it was Hermione, they all had a look of horror on their faces, and they disappeared in an instant, hiding in an instant.

"Am I that terrible?" Hermione said dissatisfiedly, "what are they running for?"

"Miss Granger is not scary at all, and Dobby thinks Miss Granger is the best wizard, second only to Master Evan and the wizards of Harry Potter. Dobby immediately said, "Dobby knows that the other elves just aren't used to it yet. ”

For a while, Hermione had worked hard to sew sweaters to give to the house-elves in the kitchen.

This probably scared them, and although she didn't do it anymore, the terrible impression she left on couldn't be reversed anytime soon.

Can make so many house-elves so scared that they turn around and run away, and Hermione is probably the only one in the whole of Hogwarts.

In the eyes of these house-elves, Hermione, who is bent on defending their rights and interests, is probably a demon.

The four of them crossed the hallway and entered the kitchen, which was exactly the same as the auditorium above.

Dumbledore was sitting comfortably at the Gryffindor table, with a steaming cup of coffee and a dessert "toffee finger cake" in front of him, and many house-elves were all around him, looking at him with awe......
