"Doesn't that mean it's useless?" Harry looked at the book that had stopped turning pages in the picture and was frustrated. "And why did he come up with such a thick book?"

"Name spells aren't that easy to cast." Hermione looked at the three words Anat on the page of the book and said, "There are many, many people with the same name and surname, a name may have dozens or even hundreds of thousands of different results, if you want to be sure, you need very accurate information, that book should be a record of every wizarding family, the wizard named Adkins is confirming Kang step by step." ”

In the picture, Dumbledore watched Adkins begin to write on parchment and the main members of the Arnat family said, "It's hard to imagine that this somewhat off-the-beaten-path spell was the 'dark magic' that everyone talked about in the Middle Ages, and the powerful and wealthy were afraid that their hair and other items would be obtained by wizards and thus cursed." ”

"Muggles don't know what black magic and white magic are. All they know is that once the wizard knows their names and gets their hands on their hair and nails, they are dead. It wasn't the spell that killed them, but in a sense, they did die under the spell. ”

After saying that, Adkins stopped his quill, picked up his wand and shouted at the parchment with his name written on it,

"Listen to the name, Conanat!"

I saw the parchment brush fly into the air and shake violently, the names on it floated in the air one by one out of the parchment, Kang's name slowly blurred into an ink dot and absorbed other names and began to float around in the office, and after a while the ink dots faded away.

"As it turned out to be yours, he was still at Hogwarts, but there was a powerful interference charm in the area, sorry it didn't help you."

Dumbledore sighed, "I expected it, although it's a bit rude to say that. ”

Adkins put away the thick book, picked up a quill and wrote Kang's name again on the re-cleaned parchment, but this time only his name. Seeing this, Dumbledore pushed the small plate on his right hand down in front of him.

As Dumbledore moved, McGoth and the others noticed the plate as well, and when they looked closely, there were a few hairs and a seventh-year magic book and...

"Magic cards?" McGoth: They looked in amazement at the half-crushed object of the book.

"Shouldn't all magic cards be in Alicia Pooh's hands, I remember she graduated last year, and it shouldn't be at Hogwarts."

"I guess the headmaster borrowed it." McGoth replied uncertainly, "It's possible that Miss Pooh didn't even know she was missing a magic card. ’

"This is, magic props?" Adkins asked, picking up the magic card.

"An interesting toy made by Kang and a group of his friends, with Kang's magic in it." Dumbledore's expression relaxed a little as he looked at the magic card.

"Looks like you're involved, too."

"I just tested it for them."

Adkins glanced at the old kid across from him. He placed Kang's hair on the parchment and dropped a few drops of the flask he had just taken out, and whispered a phrase to McGoth, they didn't understand the spell.

The hair on the parchment and a few drops of liquid quickly melted together and flowed along Kang's name until it was completely covered. Adkins then used his wand to draw a hazy smoke from the book and the magic card and floated down on the name, and the two smoke entered the liquid on the name and reacted, and the originally flat name suddenly became three-dimensional, and the liquid on it flowed like a stream along the name, as if it had come to life.

Then Adkins muttered the words and swiped his wand against the parchment. Dumbledore looked intently at the names on the parchment.

"What is he doing?" Ron watched Adkins' movements a little dazed.

"It's not written in this book." Hermione watched Adkins' movements with a serious face.

After a long pause, Adkins paused, then stopped and looked at the parchment.

The name on the parchment was originally black, but after Adkins's actions, it changed to a pale black with a reddish and gray color.

Dumbledore looked at the three-colored name with a serious face.

"We have to find him quickly, how many days can he hold out?"

"From the day he disappeared, it would take up to 20 days for the color red to be completely replaced."

"Twenty days—" Dumbledore's brow furrowed more and more. What kind of spell do you know can be described in gray. ”

"A lot." Adkins touched the name on the parchment and thought about it.

"Some Transfiguration Charms, Petrification Charms, and similar spells about the earth, as well as some black magic. It is difficult to tell what spell he has suffered from by color, only that he has been attacked by a spell. ”

"Thank you very much, my friend, at least now we can be sure that there is something in the school that is actually harmful to students."

As Dumbledore's words fell, the image in the air gradually stood still and then slowly dissipated.

"20 days? What happens if all the names turn red? Harry asked, looking at the others in horror.

"I'm afraid it's what you think. If you can't find Kang within 20 days! McGoth replied worriedly.

"How could it be! Dobby, you must know something, don't you, tell us, where is Kang? Harry said as he looked at Dobby with some eagerness.

"Dobby doesn't know where that Kang is, and he doesn't know what happened to him, and Dobby can't say what he knows." Dobby looked at Harry sadly, and when Harry tried to pull his arm, he snapped his fingers and disappeared.

"He must know something." Harry looked at the place where Dobby had disappeared.

"But you don't necessarily know where Kang is and what happened?" Hermione shook her head and said.

"We've got to figure it out." Ron looked at the men who had fallen silent.

"That's it, since Kang is missing in the school, then let's separate tomorrow to inquire about the various legends in the school, maybe there will be any clues." Ever since McGoth heard Adkins say that the petrification spell was also gray, he must have taken Kang from the basilisk. He decided not to wait any longer, although it was originally a school legend that petrified and the words on the wall made Harry sure that the murderer was a Slytherin heir, he could dig up all the school legends and slowly guide them to start with that legend, after all, Kang only had 20 days left.

The next day, Hermione went to the library to check, Harry and Ron went to Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff respectively, and McGoth went to Malfoy to help ask the Slytherin students, and Harry's little fan Colin overheard that they were going to learn about the school lore and volunteered to take over the Gryffindor task, and they were going to find an excuse to ask the twins to help.
