Chapter 45: A Monster in a Dragon's Skin

In order to avoid encountering the possible Auror named Charles, they avoided the location of the school hospital and made a long detour to safely deliver the terrified Fleur to the door of the girls' dormitory, the entrance to the fifth-grade dormitory, which was in a beautiful fountain on the fourth floor. After a short dance around it, the water stopped, revealing the torch-burning tunnel below.

It was only at this time that Fleur could see the curly wound on Brandi's face through the light of the fire...... Only then did I realize in horror what Brandi and the two of them had done running to the dance hall in the middle of the night.

There were a lot of things that happened in one night, so that none of them paid attention to the specific time, but as long as they passed by the window and looked at the moon hanging low outside, they could know that there were only a few dozen minutes left until the early morning. Worried that the house-elves of Beauxbatons would run out before dawn to clean up like Hogwarts, they hurriedly waved goodbye to Fleur and walked in the direction of the observation deck as usual.

Along the way, Orianna has always seemed preoccupied. Or rather, since she read the spell drawn by Fleur, she has been so uncertain.

"What, is that magic pattern troublesome?"

Walking into the night breeze on the observation deck, Brandi couldn't help but ask. Even if he has resisted the attacks of so many spells from Wendy and Fleur, it can only mean that the magic pattern has strong defense, but Brandy, who has so much magic power that he has even begun to try to delay the spell mark every day, is probably best at breaking the defense with super magic spells violently.

What's more, that magic pattern has now been partially destroyed by Wendy's disintegration spell, and it's hard to say whether it has the original effect.

A flash of white light flashed, and the two of them returned to the hall on the third floor of the tower.

"Trouble is not trouble......" Back in the tower, Oriana leaned back on the sofa for the first time, her fingers slowly rubbing her forehead, "Although the symbols drawn by Fleur are messy, and I don't understand most of them, but as long as you go to the library to find materials and compare similar symbols, you can roughly know what it does." I'm worried about the monster itself, according to Fleur, then Wendy's disintegration spell still had some effect before, if a magic pattern is destroyed like this, even if the core part is still functional, the magic contained in the magic pattern should have completely dissipated for so long. But now it is such a magical creature that has lost its protection, and Fleur's spell still hasn't taken effect......"

Brandi was stunned for a moment, and the leg lock spell was enough, the petrification spell was a relatively powerful spell, even in the first year, Hermione's petrification spell could make the troll with the anti-magic skin honestly stand in place. Now it's Fleur who is chanting the spell, and her magic skills should be much better than Hermione's back then—but according to her, the monster doesn't even react at all.

Fully immune to petrification? Isn't that something that only dragons can do?

"It's impossible!" He muttered to himself, "Something must have gone wrong, there could be no such monster that could not be defeated." Since it can be sent in as cargo, it has been proven that it can be defeated and even domesticated...... That's right!! ”

He looked up suddenly, his pupils flickering.

"Senior sister!"

He hurriedly said, "Can I take a look at your luggage now?" I thought, since you've had the idea of stopping it from happening, and you've even put a charm on my hair ring to remind you, will you have something left in your carry-on luggage that tells us about its weakness? ”

Oriana's expression was unusually stunned.

"Now?" She said, "Wendy is still sleeping in her room, does it have to be this time?" ”

Brandi glanced at the clock on the wall, the hour hand had just passed six.

There are less than eight hours left before the afternoon magic duel competition between the two schools.

"Senpai...... We may already be running out of time. "Time was pressing, and he had to talk to him.

"Actually, as you said, my purpose in sneaking into this exchange this time is not pure, it is to obtain something called the Seven Seals. From the fact that you've been monitoring the girls' dormitory on the third floor for the past few days, I'm sure you already know who owns it. ”

"Well, it looks like I'm finally going to give a good explanation. Your mind is so good, guess big sister, how could I not guess~ A goose like you would take the initiative to provoke Beauxbatons girls without any purpose? Orianna curled the corners of her mouth, her slender legs folded together, and her eyes narrowed.

"You're looking for the girl named Audrey, big sister, I've investigated her information a little...... It was discovered that she had appeared in the French Pravda two months ago because of a priceless wizard card, and if she had the slightest connection to the Seven Seals you mentioned, it probably could only be this. ”

Brandi nodded with a wry smile.

"But now things don't seem so simple, and from the first day of school, I found out that someone had used an anonymous threatening letter to sabotage my idea of getting seven seals through communication in advance. And the only one who knows the Seven Seals and can use them is the only one except us......"

"Who is he?"

Brandi lowered her voice. "Voldemort."

Oriana's face changed, and she subconsciously seemed to cover Brandi's mouth. "You shouldn't have said that! It is full of curses and malice! ”

"This is meaningless, I know very well what he is like now, he can't care about it." In Oriana's worried and horrified eyes, Brandi said disapprovingly. "The guy who doesn't even have a physical body, can only stick it on the back of someone's head for a day, even if he finds out that I'm there, it doesn't matter."

"The problem is that he knows I'm here and he knows what I want. I don't know exactly how he reconnected with his servants, but the situation now says it all, and what is happening in the castle is planned by the Death Eater hiding in the castle. ”

Oriana was dumbfounded, she had done a lot of analysis and reasoning, but she never thought that this matter would involve mysteries and Death Eaters. "No, you wait! You mean, there's a Death Eater in the castle? And he's been trying to take away the Seven Seals - then why did he attack you in the first place? ”

"I guess I want to make sure I got it first......

Brandi explained unconfidently that he still had the recipe for the Fifth Seal Vertical Pupil Gem and the Resurrection Potion in his chest, but that he didn't even know about bringing these things, let alone Snape, who might have been a spy. If that monster was coming for these things in the first place......

Could it be that Ron or Harry are actually spies hiding in the depths? Hah, no kidding.

However, to be on the safe side, it's better to take them all with you......

"Anyway, as far as we know by now. Professor Mary was inextricably linked to the incident, and it was even possible that it was the Death Eater...... However, she is also an official at the French Ministry of Magic, and will be forced to return to work at the Ministry of Magic once the exchange is over. In this case, her last chance was this weekend—and the opportunity to be able to stand alone while still attracting almost all the students and faculty of the school to a specific area—"

"Duel match!" Oriana replied without thinking, her eyes shining terribly. "No wonder she looked exhausted today and pretended to be sick and admitted to the school hospital...... That way, when the game starts tomorrow afternoon, she can swagger and control the creature to sneak into the girls' dormitory and steal the Seven Seals! ”

"yes, so we'll have to hurry up and find a way to deal with that cloaked monster." Finally explaining the general situation, Brandi let out a long sigh of relief.

"What's the use of those seven seals?"

The second seal? Brandi shrugged. "There are seven of them, and I don't know what Audrey is doing, but the one I took back from him could bring him back to life......"

"What !!!"

She shuddered, looked at the clock's time, and then jumped up from the couch.

"You wait for me for ten minutes......" she said with a righteous awe-inspiring voice, gritting her teeth as if she had made some terrible decision. I'll go back to the dorm and take my suitcase out – warn you Britney beforehand! ”

She said subtly, "If I find out you're lying to me!" I promise to spread the word about your women's clothes and Qiu Chang's cohabitation throughout Hogwarts! It's still the kind with pictures and truths! ”

Poor Brandi was intimidated by the black atmosphere, and the chick nodded like a peck of rice.

Staring at the back of Oriana carefully pushing the door in, Brandi always felt the sadness of seeing death at home...... Especially when she still has a loose-leaf book in her hand, and she also puts a layer of iron armor spell on herself.

Hell, are you sure you're going back to your dorm room, not going to the crater?

And, can it take 10 minutes to get a suitcase?

………… Time passed, and just as Brandi was about to lose his grip on the Sandman's invasion, the door to the room finally opened. Oriana crept out of it, closing the door softly like a lover's caress - she was carrying the long plank wrapped in black cloth on her back, her hair soaked with sweat.

"What are you?"

Brandi asked curiously, and then got a strange answer.

Wendy especially hates it when someone disturbs her sleep...... Since I told her in third grade that going to bed early and waking up early is good for physical development, I have been roommates with her for seven years. Orianna was expressionless, "By the way, her wand is right next to her, and the most pronounced spell is the Disintegration Charm. ”

Brandi threw himself to the ground in admiration.

…… It's been so hard for you to live with Wendy for so long.
