Chapter 64: Prelude
Section I
"Faint!" Harry chanted a spell aloud, a bright red light shot out from the tip of his wand, and the next moment, he deftly reversed his wrist and drew an arc in front of him, "Armor Protection"
A ball of flame erupted in front of him, causing violent ripples on the magic shield and sending Harry staggering backwards.
"Well done." A deep voice came from all around, with a faint roar, as if speaking loudly in an empty room.
Harry struggled to calm his breath and squinted at his opponent standing across from him - black flames burned around Sauron, completely obscuring his form, and the flames danced and exuded an invisible power that made it difficult to look at directly.
It's been nearly a month since they stepped into this strange magic circle, and Sauron and Harry have been staying in the magic circle, repeating the harsh training day after day. At first, Harry had no power to fight back against Sauron, and the energy radiating from Sauron's body was too much for Harry to bear, let alone fight. Sauron didn't even have to wave his wand or recite a spell, just the thought of knocking Harry to the ground and causing him to die in agony, which made Harry realize how ridiculous and ridiculous his old perception of power was.
"Humble and helpless." Sauron stood in front of Harry, his cold eyes looking down at him from above, "If that's all you can do, what courage or faith can you talk about?" ”
These words cut through his body like a cold blade, making Harry painful, but also stirring up his blood. Harry didn't flinch, he was knocked down again and again, and got up again and again, in the painful torture, Harry's growth was rapid, the key to this growth was not the use of spells or actual combat skills, but the strength of the heart and the transformation of the soul to a higher level. With the help of the magic circle and the Origin Fire, Sauron confused the rules of the world, stripped them from the complicated appearance, exposed to Harry, and with his training during the day and meditating at night, he quietly established a connection with him, and even Harry himself did not realize that he had taken the first step on the path of immortality and eternity, and this step was precisely the first step that many wizards could not take in their entire lives.
Harry's growth fell into Sauron's eyes, and in fact, not only Harry, but Sauron was also completing his own transformation. As Sauron said to Harry, under his guidance, the Flame of Origin burned Sauron's **, transforming into the rules and energy of nothingness, and finally freeing his will from the shackles of the rules of the material world.
This process is undoubtedly dangerous, so that even Voldemort did not dare to take the initiative to do so, and if he was not careful, the soul that lost his body would be destroyed; Or be captured by the dark side of this world, forever wandering in the cracks of rules, life is better than death. In this regard, Sauron was well aware that he sealed the fragments of his soul in several Horcruxes in Zài, using this as a contract to establish a guide for returning to the material plane.
First hair, then skin, then muscles and blood, and now, Sauron's ** was almost completely ignited by his origin fire, under the raging black flames, it was actually Sen Sen's white bones, only the golden sword pupils in his eyes were still clear, exuding a cold light.
Sauron looked at Harry, his appearance just now was good, but it was not perfect, Sauron waved his wand slightly, a bright white spell shot at Harry, Harry waved his wand, scattering the spell, and then he pushed forward with his left hand, a huge force surged towards Sauron, but only made the flames around Sauron sway slightly.
"As I said, those little tricks don't work." The air around Sauron roared in a low voice, "Frost! ”
The ground beneath Harry's feet was covered with white frost, and a cold, numb sensation spread rapidly along his legs, and Harry was startled at first, and then to Sauron's surprise, he disappeared from the spot, flickering to the side, but perhaps unskillful or numb in his legs and feet, and sat down on the ground.
Sauron raised an eyebrow, even though he had long since lost his eyebrows, and Harry learned to flicker to surprise him slightly, but it wasn't the point - just now, in the moment he flickered, Sauron felt that familiar power—Harry's Origin Fire. Sauron realized that in this short month, with the strength of Harry's heart and the perception of the origin of magic, the power that had been suppressed by Sauron's power and hibernation in the depths of Harry's soul was awakening......
Section II
In the Burrow's living room, Ron Hermione, Ginny and Fred were there, sitting on the couch chatting with Mrs. Weasley's freshly baked cookies on a table next to them.
"I don't know where Harry has gone." Ron muttered as he ate the cookies, "It's been a month, and the Quidditch World Cup is going to start in a few days, so it would be a shame to miss it." ”
"No one knows where he is, Ron." Hermione said, glancing at Ginny, the little girl looking a little worried, "When I wrote before, he said he was with Sauron, but there was no reply to the letters I sent to the mansion. ”
"Could something be wrong?" Ginny's little face turned pale and full of worry, "You say, will it be...... Could it be, Death Eaters......"
"Oh, don't scare yourself." Hermione comforted the little girl, "Since the fall of the Mysteries, the Death Eaters have disappeared, and they dare not openly commit crimes, and the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic are not decorations. ”
"That's natural, and don't forget, Harry and Sauron are together." One of the twins said, their voices lowered, "Hey, do you know why Slytherin is afraid of Sauron?" We listen to Lee? Jordan said there had been several attacks related to Sauron......
"Assault," Hermione's brow furrowed, "assault on Muggles?" ”
"No, of course not." The twins' voices were lowered, and they glanced in the direction of the kitchen to make sure Mrs. Weasley couldn't hear them, "It's the escaped Death Eaters, you know, there were many Death Eaters who used all sorts of lies and excuses to get away with and weren't imprisoned in Azkaban. But they didn't stay away for long, you know, many of them have disappeared or been killed over the past few years, and there is evidence that these cases are related to Sauron. ”
"You're saying that Sauron killed the Death Eaters." Ron's mouth opened in surprise, and Hermione's brow furrowed even tighter.
The twins nodded, they looked at the expressions of the other people, as if enjoying their surprise, and then the twins took a deep breath, "The most interesting thing is that I remember the dark phoenix of Sauron, they said that someone found ...... at the scene of the murder."
"Fred, George, come and do me a favor!" Mrs. Weasley's voice came from the kitchen, interrupting the twins.
"Okay, Mom." The twins answered, then winked at them and got up to leave.
"Oh, please." Ron complained, "It's a disappointment every time." ”
"Are you saying that's true, Sauron has killed people?" Ginny asked in a whisper, looking at Hermione with some fear, "He and Harry are brothers, probably not." ”
"Who knows." Hermione said that she felt her throat a little dry, that she had learned Sauron's coldness, and that she couldn't believe that he had a murder on his hands, but looking at Ginny's nervous look, she didn't say it in her heart.
"Alright Ginny, at least you don't have to worry about Harry's safety, Sauron won't harm anyone." Ron said nonchalantly, "If Harry and Sauron are together, and I wait until we meet again, Harry might be able to learn a few beautiful spells, just like last semester, Hermione, you said that Harry's Patronus Charm was learned from Sauron." ”
Hermione's heart struck, and she snapped back to that night—the dazzling white flames, and the cold moon-like silver eyes. Hermione was vaguely aware that Harry and Sauron's abnormality might have something to do with what had happened that night.
"Hermione!" Ron patted her and pulled her out of her thoughts, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"Oh, oh, nothing." Hermione said, "I'll go to the kitchen and see if I can help." With that, she left in a bit of a panic, leaving Ron and Ginny staring at each other......
