Chapter 270: The Atavistic Phenomenon?

It's the most amazing feeling.

Harry felt his whole body flutter, and the thoughts and worries in his mind were swept away, leaving only a blink, invisible and intangible joy.

He walked slowly along a remote path, and the whole person felt very relaxed and carefree, only vaguely aware that he seemed to be following behind a person.

Oh, and Hermione was beside her, and it seemed that she was also caught up in this lightness, walking as if she was walking on clouds and stepping on cotton, as if she was completely powerless or even in control of her body......

He vaguely felt that this was a state that should not appear, as if something was wrong, very abnormal. But he just couldn't resist this feeling of happiness, and there was even a voice in his head that kept echoing-

That's fine...... That's fine......

Don't think about anything...... Don't think about it anymore......

No more bothering about malice and opposition from all sides...... Don't think about any real-life stresses anymore......

It was the effect of the Imperius Curse, and he knew it subconsciously, but he had successfully resisted the Imperius Curse before. Now, however, it seems as if all the resistances he had been trained by Professor Moody were gone.

Perhaps it's because the caster's expertise in the Imperius Curse is much more advanced than Professor Moody's.

Maybe it's because Harry has suffered too much pressure and malice recently, and he feels quite disappointed in reality, and he has serious emotions of avoidance, doubt, and self-denial, so he subconsciously doesn't want to resist.

What a blessing!

How wonderful!

I don't know how much time had passed, but Harry suddenly felt that the hollowness in his mind was gone, like an echo of a hollow valley.

Suddenly, he regained his sense of self and his ability to think, and looked around a little dazedly, and then realized that this was a house that seemed familiar to him, a messy and dusty house.

The wallpaper had fallen off the walls, the floors were covered in stains, the furniture was broken and seemed to have been vandalized, and even the windows around were nailed with a large number of wooden boards.

Everything was covered in a thick layer of dust, and the ambient light was very dark.

It's a screaming shack!

In an instant, Harry could make out where this place was. He had only been here since the previous school year, and the house was a well-known location in Hogsmeade, but it was not popular because it was believed to be haunted.

In fact, this is due to the fact that Professor Lupin was accidentally bitten by a werewolf when he was a child, and every time the moon is full, he transforms, and in that state he will be delirious, often biting himself and howling. When the villagers heard the noise and screams, they thought it was the sound of some ferocious ghost.

Dumbledore took him in to study at the school, and the Screaming Shack was also the place where he provided Professor Lupin's transformation, and used a beating willow to protect the secret passage from the inside of the school to the wizarding village.

And it was also Dumbledore who deliberately guided public opinion, encouraged people to spread rumors, and kept people away from the screaming shack, thus ensuring the safety of everyone-

Including the safety of Professor Lupin, as well as the safety of the villagers.

At the end of the previous school year, Professor Lupin and Sirius Black meet again at the Screaming Shack, reuniting the brothers and revealing the truth about the murder of Harry's parents to Harry, Ron, and Hermione......

It wasn't that long ago, but in retrospect, Harry felt as if an entire century had passed.

Harry Potter ...... Are you Harry Potter? ”

At this moment, a deep voice sounded, quickly focusing his somewhat distracted attention because he had just escaped the Imperius Curse.

He quickly turned his head and found that in the shadows, there was a tall figure, the same wizard criminal who had directly seen through the camouflage of his invisibility cloak and decisively grabbed him and Hermione.

Subconsciously turned his head slightly, Harry also saw Hermione on the side, the girl also seemed to be frightened, her face was slightly pale, she pursed her thin lips tightly, and did not dare to make a sound.

After all, it was not a thing to be thankful to encounter such a vicious wizard criminal, they had received the same shock because of Sirius's actions before, but Sirius himself was innocent and not a real criminal.

- It was not he who took the lives of thirteen people, but another despicable villain.

But this kind of luck can only be said to be lucky, and you can't expect to meet a good person who has been wronged every time, right? Especially when the other party is so decisive, he directly used the Imperius Curse, one of the three unforgivable curses, on them, which is also very telling.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Although he didn't get an answer, Noah didn't care, he carefully compared the boy's appearance, especially focusing on the lightning-shaped scar on the other party's forehead, confirming his guess.

This is Harry Potter, the boy who never died, the British boasted of being a godlike savior, and people who didn't know thought they were talking about Jesus.

It's a bit of a hassle now, after all, this one belongs to the local celebrity anyway, and it's not the kind of guy who can deal with it casually, even if it's missing, no one cares...... Noah suddenly had a headache, how bad was his luck?

I just came to the UK, and I ran into such a trouble, which is really tricky.

But the other party happened to see his true face, and obviously knew his identity, which couldn't be done without dealing with it, and this also made Noah feel a little suspicious......

He has indeed been a little nervous and nervous lately, always feeling that someone is taking action against him, and always wondering if there is some conspiracy against him without his knowledge, so everyone feels that there is a problem.

Even if it was a teenage child, he wondered if the other party was part of the conspiracy.

The more you study the dragon language system, the more you can perceive the antiquity and mystery in it, and the more you study the essence of the dragon's roar, the more you can discover the horror of that power.

That's a power that goes far beyond the system of spells.

Although it seems that the principle and mechanism are the same, with a specific language as the key to prying the rules, the power shown is completely different. The gap between the flames, which can only be used to light cigarettes, and the steelmaking furnaces used in the forging industry, is such a huge disparity......

By the same token, how could an ancient species with such great and profound magical knowledge be willing to become an animal like a livestock kept by a wizard?

They are not pure beasts, and are suspected to possess advanced intelligence - whether this intelligence is a recent mutation or an atavistic phenomenon, it will not change their subsequent actions.

As the only variable, Noah is very self-aware, knowing that he is definitely on the death list of those terrible species.

It would be really strange if everything went smoothly and no one was targeting him at all.

"Aren't you a Hogwarts warrior? I think the first project seems to be about to start, it shouldn't be a few days, why don't you prepare well, why is it in this village? ”

Although he thought it was unlikely, Noah planned to interrogate the boy to see if he was one of the pawns that someone had sent to target him.

"One of the warriors!" Probably because of the fact that this time was really sensitive to this topic, Harry blurted out almost reflexively, with a hint of anger.

"Oh, one of the warriors...... But so what? I think you look like you're only fourteen, right? ”

Noah said very perfunctorily.

"The age standard for the Triwizard Tournament is to be at least seventeen years old, so you're not as capable as those older students, right? Don't hurry up and prepare, intending to be killed by the fire dragon ten minutes after the start of the first project? ”

"......" Harry glared at him and didn't speak, he thought this man was really annoying.

Admittedly, this was indeed what he feared the most, the kind of magic challenge that even in the sixth and seventh grades might not have a chance of winning, he was a fourth-grader, or even a fourth-grader who had just started school for more than a month-

What can be done?

Even when he faced Malfoy head-on, he was not sure of victory, and the spells he could use were more inclined to mischief, with negligible lethality, at most a nosebleed......

And if the spell doesn't work, then he has to throw away his wand and punch the opponent directly in the nose, and the effect is not bad anyway.

"Waitβ€”fire dragons? You just said the fire dragon? ”

At this time, Hermione's shrill voice rang out, and she stared at the wizard in front of her, as if she wanted to double-check what the other party had just said.

"Yes, Fire Dragon...... You don't know, but it's normal, it's a classified project. Noah laughed sarcastically, pleased to see the boy in front of him look sluggish, "But I can tell you that the first project is a warrior, corresponding to a fire dragon. ”

"It can't be!" Harry finally reacted, instinctively saying no, he couldn't accept the impact of the news.

"Why can't it be?"

"That, that...... That's a fire dragon, how can they make students face this kind of thing? Harry's eyes widened, visibly frightened.

"Or what do you think Triwizard Tournament is? Why was it suspended for a century because of the high number of deaths, and did the children play the house? ”

Noah sneered disdainfully, but his heart relaxed a lot, seeing the panicked appearance of the boy in front of him, he had already got what he needed.

"But don't worry, they won't ask you to fight a dragon head-on and win, at most you will have to achieve some kind of goal in a roundabout...... Unless you encounter those fiery dragons that show atavism. ”

At the end, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and his voice became muffled.
