Chapter 196: Old Grievances at Hogwarts (37)
Although the soul injury was extremely serious for a young wizard like Harry, as the greatest wizard of our time, Dumbledore spent more than a month to heal him, at least on the surface. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Phyllis had observed Harry when he first took a course on the history of magic, and although Harry didn't show anything unusual except for his slightly pale face, and could still happily chat and play with his classmates next to him, she could still see that Harry's soul was a little weak. This made Phyllis breathe a sigh of relief, if Dumbledore was really so powerful that he could fully recover Harry's injured soul in a month, it meant that she had a problem with the old headmaster's strength assessment, but fortunately, although he was the "greatest", his ability was still limited, only for such a long time, he couldn't make Harry's soul fully recover, fortunately, it would not leave any permanent sequelae, and the rest was just slowly recuperating.
Although Harry's injury was talked about a lot in the school, it didn't cause much trouble, not everyone, not even all professors could understand what the Patronus's injury meant to wizards, plus after Dumbledore's treatment, Harry had recovered his health, so no one said anything, but Gryffindor still let out a few sighs of annoyance for their team's defeat from time to time.
On Friday of this week, after the last class of the week, Phyllis took Amy to the small courtyard next to Hogsmeade Village, which was the small mansion that Lucius gave her before, Hogwarts is a castle after all, and has so many rooms, so many students, after living there for a long time, there will be a feeling of depression, and from time to time Phyllis will move out to live for a day or two, which can be regarded as relaxing.
But this time it wasn't all about relaxation, for on the night Phyllis moved in, at eleven o'clock in the evening, a guest arrived.
"Mr. Malfoy, welcome to you." Phyllis stood up and said.
"Miss Kate is gracious." Lucius responded enthusiastically, with a decent smile on his face, it seems that this Mr. Malfoy has been doing well recently, "His Highness the Dark Lord asked me to bring you his greetings. After speaking, he gave a deep salute.
With a faint smile on her face, Phyllis stood there and said, "Is this a sincere greeting?" ”
What a rude girl, seeing that Phyllis did not return the salute, Lucius muttered in his heart, but the smile on his face did not diminish, and he said, "Of course, this is a sincere greeting." As he spoke, he stepped forward and handed over a small box.
Phyllis took the box, and when she opened it, there was a thin notebook, and she looked through it, on which were several dark magic that Voldemort had written for her. Similar to Phyllis, Voldemort was also a person of great pride, and he did not use any superficial magic to fool her, on the contrary, the magic recorded in this note is extremely profound, and the implication is: Don't you want powerful black magic? It can be given to you, but it's your business whether you can read it or not.
Phyllis smiled and handed the notebook to Amy, who was standing nearby, and asked her to put it away before she said, "Sit down, Mr. Malfoy, true friends are always welcome here." ”
If it's not a true friend, it's not welcome? Lucius really didn't expect that he would have to bring a gift, and it was a sincere gift to be popular, but it belonged to him at first, he gave it to this girl, and she accepted it with peace of mind.
Of course, Phyllis has peace of mind, and for people like them, psychological construction is very simple.
After the two of them were seated, Amy brought black tea as usual, and Lucius first asked, "How is Draco doing at school?" ”
This quote is actually quite interesting, the last thing Phyllis said to Lucius during the last meeting was "Draco is doing well in school", as a reminder to Lucius not to go to his family, the only son is in her hands. At that time, Lucius was in a dilemma, not trusted by Voldemort who was about to return, and he had no place in the Ministry of Magic, let alone the Order of the Phoenix, so he could only ask for help like Phyllis, who had only a little sign of it, and was threatened at the end, but now it is different, Lucius has regained the trust of His Royal Highness the Dark Lord and has become the person he trusts and relies on, which can be regarded as raising his eyebrows.
Hearing Lucius say this, Phyllis couldn't help laughing, probably because of good luck, this kind of person actually escaped the pursuit of the Ministry of Magic, did he forget...... Phyllis said, "It's good, Draco is growing up now, and learning more and more, and I don't know if I will forget me as a teacher in the future." Like his father, Phyllis didn't say a word, just gave Lucius a playful look.
Lucius was a little embarrassed, Phyllis meant it was obvious, the reason why Voldemort would rely on him was not to say how powerful and loyal Lucius was, but because Phyllis was willing to talk to Voldemort, and he was the bridge between the two, that's all, that is to say, Lucius can have his current position completely dependent on Phyllis. In this case, he was a little too self-conscious to show off in front of Phyllis.
Although he was embarrassed, Lucius still maintained a decent demeanor after learning etiquette since childhood, and he said: "Of course not, the Malfoy family has always been people who respect knowledge and repay kindness. "He's actually softened, there's no way, he didn't expect Voldemort to value Phyllis so much, maybe only those who have died once can understand the strength of Phyllis's immortal talent more deeply.
Phyllis nodded, accepted his apology, and said, "What are you looking for me for this time?" ”
Lucius said, "Miss Kate must know about the Triwizard Tournament that will be held next school year, right?" ”
Phyllis said, "I've heard, what's the matter, Voldemort is going to take this opportunity to do it?" ”
Lucius said, "Yes, His Highness the Dark Lord will make the most of this Triwizard Tournament to complete his complete return. ”
Phyllis did hear Carl talk about the Triwizard Tournament, as far as she knew, it was something that the Ministry of Magic had been negotiating with the three schools of magic of Hogwarts, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang for a long time, it was definitely a big event in the wizarding world, and Phyllis guessed that Voldemort would take this opportunity to make a fuss, but she didn't expect him to make such a big fuss - to reshape his body and return completely.
Phyllis asked, "Need my help?" ”
"Of course, Miss Kate's help is a big help for us," Lucius said. ”
Phyllis said, "What do you need me to do?" "It's time to do business again, and see what we can get out of Voldemort this time.
Lucius smiled and said, "This is not in a hurry, when the time comes, how will Miss Kate cooperate, someone will naturally come to inform me, and this matter will not be under my control." ”
Phyllis said, "That's right...... But wouldn't that cause Voldemort any trouble because I wasn't prepared? ”
Lucius said, "No, for Miss Kate, this should be very easy to do, and there will be no bad consequences, Miss Kate, please rest assured." ”
Seeing that there was no way to get words out of Lucius's mouth, Phyllis was not obsessed with this, chatted with him a few more words, and sent the guest away.
Yes, it was not Lucius who offered to say goodbye, but Phyllis who offered to serve tea to the guests. For people like Lucius, there is no need to be too polite, he will not think highly of himself because he is polite to him, as long as there are enough interests to exchange, Phyllis believes that he will not hesitate to betray himself, just like he betrayed other Death Eaters and the dying Voldemort many years ago, relatively speaking, it is better to show his strength, and gratitude Presumably, fear is often more obedient to a person's arrangement and command.
Not caring if Lucius, who had been driven away, would secretly curse himself behind his back, Phyllis went to the room on the left, where Phyllis had instructed Amy to set up a study, where Phyllis picked up the notes sent by Lucius and began to study them.
Voldemort wrote in this note three and a half powerful and esoteric dark arts, of which the "half" was the one that interested Phyllis the most. This is an unfinished, research-stage black magic. In the wizarding world, Voldemort is the only recognized person who can command Dementors, and he is not only able to command the condensation of extreme negative emotions of Dementors, but also has a lot of research. Inspired by the Patronus Charm, Voldemort believed that the extreme negative emotions of people can also condense entities, and unlike the Patronus who is not very good at fighting and can only restrain Dementors, the entities condensed by negative emotions should have strong lethality. And Voldemort thinks that he is not the first person to have this idea, and the Dementor is likely to be an entity condensed by a previous wizard, but then I don't know what happened, the Dementor got rid of the control of the wizard, and even evolved wisdom and began to reproduce itself. As for what the original Dementor looked like, it is no longer possible to know, and Voldemort can only extrapolate it based on the little information he has found, and he has already completed most of it. I don't know what kind of intention Voldemort wrote down the materials he had been studying for a long time in this notebook.
Voldemort only studied half of it, and the rest should be up to Phyllis herself, and because of this, Phyllis and Voldemort's understanding of this idea was skewed, resulting in the spell they finally researched in a completely different direction.
Phyllis sat at her desk and deduced the spell, and deduced it all night, and only put down her pen when it was dark, and after a night, she achieved nothing, not even an idea. Phyllis yawned, she needed to go to sleep for a while, she was so tired from such a night, she didn't notice it before, and now as soon as it was over, she immediately felt that her mind was blank, and her whole body was sore.
She slept until noon, and after eating a little food, Phyllis came out, wanting to go out for a break.
Today is Saturday, Hogwarts students can come to Hogsmeade Village to play, Phyllis is on the road and sees the whole Hogsmeade full of students, these children bring endless joy and youth to this ancient village. Feeling this happy atmosphere, Phyllis was in a bad mood.
Suddenly, Phyllis felt as if she had walked by a person, she looked back and forth, but she didn't expect people, what was going on? Is it because she feels wrong, shouldn't be, Phyllis is still quite confident in her instincts.
Phyllis really didn't feel wrong, it was Harry and Ron hiding in the invisibility cloak. They went to Jokowi, which was packed with students, and Harry had to be very careful not to step on anyone so as not to cause panic. There was material for jokes and tricks, and even Fred and George's wildest dreams could be fulfilled. Harry whispered instructions to Ron and handed him some gold from under the Cloak of Invisibility. When they left Jokowi, their wallets were much lighter than when they entered the store, but their pockets were stuffed with dung bombs, burp candy, frog egg soap, and a nose-biting teacup each.
The weather was fine and breezy and neither of them wanted to stay indoors, so they walked through three broomsticks and up a slope to the Screaming Shack, the most haunted abode in Britain. It sits a little higher than the other houses in the village, the windows are nailed to the boards, and the garden is damp and overgrown with weeds.
It was on the way that they accidentally passed by Professor Kate, and they almost found out about Phyllis because they didn't pay attention to rubbing Phyllis's body.
As a Gryffindor, who is known for his bravery, he has an extraordinary feeling for the so-called most powerful haunted house in Britain at the Screaming Shack, and this time he has the opportunity to go over and see Ra.
"Even the ghosts of Hogwarts don't come here." Ron said they were leaning against the fence and looking up at the haunted house. "I asked Nick, who was almost headless, and he heard that there was a very rough group of people living here. No one was able to get in. Fred and George apparently tried, but all the entrances were sealed.."
Harry was about to take off his cloak for a few minutes as he was feeling hot from the climb, when they heard a nearby voice: someone was crawling towards the haunted house on the other side of the hill. After a while, Malfoy appeared, followed by Crabbe and Goyle. Malfoy was talking.
The opportunity is too good to pass up. Harry crept behind Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle, and bent down to pick up a large handful of mud from the mire on the path. (To be continued.) )
