Chapter 367

When asked by the principal, Astoria's fingers twisted together, her long eyelashes flashed slightly, and her white teeth bit her lip, but she didn't say anything.

"Principal Harris, you know the situation of our Greengrass family... Because of the Blood Curse, we are resistant to the magic of transforming people into animals, and we fear that it will hasten the Blood Curse and prevent her from recovering from her body. Seeing her sister's expression, Daphne explained in Astoria's place, but in distress, she asked anxiously, "Principal Harris, you promised to help Astoria solve this Blood Curse... I wonder how it's going?"

"Not good," Alan shook his head, explaining before the other could speak, "One of the original purposes of I asked you to participate in the transformation of the Animagus was for the blood spell of the Griglas family..."

"Principal Harris... What do you mean?" Daphne's hand tightened as she held Astoria's arm, her voice trembling a little, "Transforming into Animagus has something to do with healing Astoria's blood curse?"

When Astoria heard this, she opened her mouth in surprise and didn't speak, but she was frustrated that she didn't prepare for the transformation according to Principal Harris's request, but instead affected her healing.

Seeing Alan nodding at her in confirmation, Daphne couldn't bear it and leaned against the tree behind her suddenly, she said in a panic: "In other words, we took it upon ourselves to let Astoria not deform, but instead wasted time and delayed her... Wait!" But after figuring out the hidden meaning of Alan's lines, she asked in disbelief: "Principal Harris... Do you mean you have a way to cure and lift the blood curse on my sister?"

"There is indeed a concept of treatment... But to be precise, it's not actually a treatment. Alan pressed his palm downward, signaling the two sisters not to be in a hurry, and he asked gently, "So, two excellent young wizards of Slytherin House, can you tell me what is the main characteristic of the Animagus?"

Astoria was calmer than Daphne, who was still in frustration and shock, and she reined in her thoughts and said, "The transformation of Animagus can turn a wizard into an animal closely related to him, and he can also change from an animal back to a human form. ”

"Well, that's a good answer, in the past few years, I would have given extra points to the little wizard who could answer this question..."Alan continued, "What about the blood spell on you?"

"Wizard families under the blood spell will be inherited from the family matrilineal, and from time to time these female offspring will appear and the body will turn into a specific animal from time to time... And over time, this transformation will become more frequent and uncontrolled, and in the end, finally... is permanently trapped in this animal form. Daphne clasped Astoria's arm tightly and stared at Eren about her sister, the blood spell that kept their family at peace—in the eyes of many wizards, being a blood orc was an inferior creature.

Alan nodded to Daphne, then turned to the younger of the Greengrass sisters, "Astoria, what animal did you become because of the Blood Curse?"

"Headmaster, I don't know..."Astoria shook her head in confusion, her long loose curls dangling behind her back, "... I've been trying to fight the Blood Curse, never really transforming into an animal. ”

Daphne still couldn't understand Alan's intentions, and she began to interrupt their conversation in a hurry: "Principal Harris, if you need anything, please tell me directly, I can make decisions for my father in my sister's matter. ”

"Uh-huh, I need to? Oh, you're mistaken... And actually, what can you do for me, huh?" Alan's eyes widened in surprise and he shook his head with a smile.

This made Daphne's face flush - and realized that Eren in front of him was not an ordinary pure-blood family, and Greengrass did not have any capital to tempt the other party at the moment.

"I'm not helping you for any benefit, but I'm your headmaster... It's a support for your sister's more enlightened approach to the idea of bloodlines that is different from traditional pure-blood families. Alan explained, "The reason I'm asking so many questions is just to make sure you're in a good state to deal with the Blood Spell. ”

Daphne bowed to Alan, "I'm sorry, Headmaster, we don't have the wisdom you have... I beg you to help my sister, who has a different personality than my father, and is very supportive of your belief that pure-blooded Muggles are wizards. ”

"I'll admit that, as I said, based on my current research, there's no way I'm curing your sister's blood curse... I have also asked Lady Ravenclaw about this, and there is nothing she can do about it, because this curse is not directed at your sister personally, but against the blood flowing in the female members of your family, and even if I have the ability to cast spells on your sister regularly, the nature of the curse will cause it to re-act in the new blood in her body. Alan raised an eyebrow and explained the difficulty first--but in fact, the couple of the witch and the goddess were just looking for a way to be lazy during the small talk, and they didn't bother to research any way to break the blood curse, even though they might be able to do it, but apparently they didn't have the leisure to do it.

Hearing that even the goddess could do nothing about it, Daphne was a little desperate, but Astoria was obviously more sober than her sister, who usually looked stronger, in this situation, and she was not affected by this and asked, "Principal Harris, but what you said before is not a cure has anything to do with Animagus?"

"Smart, you know I'm a Ravenclaw, and I should be familiar with the way we do things. Alan looked appreciative, "You should know what I'm going to do with Defence Against the Dark Arts, and I can't undo the curse on this position without killing the mystery man." ”

"Yes, Headmaster, the wizards of your academy are full of wisdom, and you just set up a nominally different course, and you avoided the conditions that triggered the curse...", Astoria was stunned for a moment, Astoria's eyes widened suddenly, her long eyelashes trembled, and she suddenly brightened, "Principal Harris, you mean... What do you mean... If I become an Animagus, will I become a human when I become a blood-cursed creature?!"

"It's not... Uh, well, I'm not going to whet you appetite, take it easy, I did find a way to circumvent it in the same way that I avoided the Defence Against the Dark Arts curse. Eren smiled, "The worst that a blood spell can lead to is to permanently transform into a trait animal - but before that happens, let Astoria learn to transform into an Animagus first." ”

Daphne hadn't turned a corner yet, but when she heard her sister and Alan's words, she looked at her headmaster expectantly, as if she were looking at the only light in the world in the darkness of despair.

"The curse in the blood curse is to make people change from animals to people, and the characteristics of the curse are like making a wish with the devil, although it is full of malice and evil, but the setting of trigger conditions and effects needs to be very accurate. Alan stood up with his hands behind his back, "So my plan is... In fact, even if your sister can complete the transformation today, I will not ask her to perform Animagus now, but deliberately let her blood spell attack, so that after she is sure that she will transform into an animal with a blood curse, she will learn Animagus before she can finally turn back into human form, and the Animagus I taught you can choose the object of transformation, so that the forms will not overlap to avoid the risk, so when you can't finally change from a blood curse creature back to a human, you can first change from the blood curse creature form to Animagus, and then use the Animagus form to bypass the trigger condition of the curse that the blood cursed creature cannot turn back into a human, so as to change back to human form...”

After the two sisters were stunned for a moment, the two little girls let out a scream of excitement, and Allen's method theoretically relieved not only her sister's troubles, but also the nightmare that had plagued her and the Greengrass family for years, and she did not have to worry about one of her female offspring becoming a victim of the blood curse.

"Actually, if you count it that way, maybe it won't be a curse in the future?" Alan described in a relaxed tone, "because Astoria, although the Blood Curse transformation is not the same as the Animagus, it is not controllable... But you'll be a wizard who can transform into two animal forms... I can't cure you and the female members of your family that might be curing it, but it doesn't seem like we need to cure it now, do we?"

This sentence directly caused the two Greengrass sisters to stand up and want to come over and give their headmaster and family benefactor a hug - but this made Alan frightened, he jumped back from his chair with a flick, and stretched out his palm to stop and scolded: "Stop, I can understand your feelings, but I am your headmaster and you are my students, please pay attention..."

Daphne, who was still stretching out her hands, calmed down after hearing this, but it seemed that her rejection of Allen was a little angry.

Astoria also looked a little embarrassed, and after calming down for a moment, she remembered the suspicion in it, and asked urgently, "But Headmaster, why has no one ever cured the Blood Curse like this before?"

"Blood orcs are discriminated against by many wizards, and very few wizards can study this disease at will... Most wizards are not educated in logic, and like Defence Against the Dark Arts class, they are rigid in their thinking about these issues, and their minds are only focused on trying to break the curse itself... And the most important thing is that before I went to register the Animagus myself, there were only seven people in the wizarding world in the world who registered the Animagus, so naturally there was no news that the Animagus and the Blood Curse were linked..."Alan let out a confident voice unhurriedly, "And now, Muggle technology is advancing, but so is our magic... The Animagus will no longer be a minority... Uh..."As he spoke, Allen's face, which had been a sanctimonious appearance, turned into a sneer, "Penelope, are you here?

"Principal Harris, it's pretty much the same. "It's just that I came here because I had just noticed these two little witches in the woods for a long time, and I had just heard these two little things screaming, and I was afraid that there was some danger in my life, so that there should be no scandal at Hogwarts." ”
