Chapter 43: The Apostles of the Spiritual Realm
Harry woke up from the interruption, just now he just unconsciously looked back, the light from his eyes seriously injured Peeves, which made Harry very frightened, he tucked the scriptures under his armpits, and prepared to flee back with his invisibility cloak, but Filch had already rushed in.
Harry's heart seemed to stop beating, and he thought desperately—it's over! I'm going to be fired!
The thought of leaving Hogwarts and returning to his uncle's place made Harry Potter feel an indescribable tender pain in his heart.
But what happened next surprised him, Filch looked at the void around him as if he didn't see him, and suddenly Filch showed a clear smile, and he whispered, "Harry Potter...... And your invisibility cloak? "You can't escape from my hands!" Filch said, his hands outstretched as if he were touching it in front of him.
And he also blocked the door tightly, it seems that he wants to come to the river to touch the shrimp.
Harry tensed again, and Filch waved his hand at him like a wizened monkey. Harry had almost nowhere to hide, he was cornered, Filch seemed to be sure of his prey, and lunged at him, Harry closed his eyes nervously, but he only heard a cry of pain.
Filch slammed into the wall, his nose seemingly crooked.
Harry opened his eyes and was shocked to see Filch's half hand still waving at his chest, but it pierced through like a phantom, and the old squib shouted angrily, "Who is it?" Who is it? ”
Harry didn't dare to delay, he rushed to the door, and the doors and walls seemed to stand in his way, and he easily passed through them.
It was then that Harry realized that something was wrong with the world he was in, like a layer of glass, the world was gray and distorted in his eyes, and even lost some of its temperature and color, and he easily walked through the matter and even met Snape's chest, and he grimaced at Snape.
Snape looked up, as if he had noticed something.
Filch walked out with his cat, and said to Snape, "Professor, someone just had a night out here, and he's attacked Peeves. Now Peeves doesn't know where to go. Filch's pale and emaciated face was full of fear, and his nose was a little crooked.
But his cat, Lady Loris, is fried!
"Meow!" Lady Loris screamed miserably, the scrawny, gray-haired creature staring nervously in the direction where Harry Potter was hiding. "It seems to be a little frightened!" Filch nervously explained to Snape. Because Harry Potter and Snape have half of their bodies together.
Lady Loris looked like she was yelling at Snape.
Snape glanced thoughtfully at Lady Loris, he looked up keenly and keenly looked around, then his brow furrowed deeply, and his greasy hair almost fell to Harry Potter's face, and Filch was terrified as he prepared to pick up the little creature that was howling so badly, it was almost trembling with nervousness.
Harry saw that Lady Loris had been staring into his eyes, and realized that Lady Loris could see him.
He had thought that Lady Loris was also afraid of the old bat!
"Professor......" Filch seemed to be trying to explain something.
Snape raised his hand to stop what was behind him, and he whispered: "Maybe it's not its problem, the legend says that cats are good friends of wizards, because they can always find something that wizards can't see, and those dark magic creations are very dangerous for wizards, so many wizards like to keep cats as a precautionary measure." ”
"And what could these dark magic creations be?" Filch asked flatteringly, "Does it have anything to do with what just happened?" ”
"Generally ghosts, or some ghosts and magical creatures that are harmful to Muggles and wizards, and while we can see some of them, even wizards can't see some of the dangerous, evil ghosts created by dark magic. Evil and bloodthirsty, they are very dangerous, and they walk in a world known as the Spirit Realm, where legend has it that the soul must return to its home. ”
"In order to create this kind of evil killer that cannot be discovered, some dark wizards torture Muggles and even wizards, and curse their souls with dark magic, so that those souls cannot go deeper into the spirit world, and can only wander in the spirit world and the human world, becoming their weapons."
"In order to prevent those evil ghosts from attacking them, those dark wizards will keep a cat, because cats also walk between life and death, and can see the evil ghosts hidden in the spirit world, so that they can beware of these monsters."
"The spirit world?" As if Harry understood something, he quietly retreated, and Lady Loris couldn't see him and gradually settled down.
Snape looked behind him even more suspiciously, but Harry had already walked away, and his mind was full of doubts: "Am I in the spirit realm now?" The power of that Golden Book of the Sun brought me here? How do I get out? Is Snape telling the truth? The spirit world is a journey of reincarnation back to its destination, so that book can take people back to the destination of their souls, and then let them return to our world and resurrect them? ”
Thinking of this, Harry gripped the Golden Sun Sutra in his arms even tighter.
As he passed by the Headmaster's office, he thought about it and quietly walked in, he didn't know what he wanted to do, he wanted to talk to Headmaster Dumbledore, or tell him about the Golden Book of the Sun.
He crept through the wall of the Headmaster's room, and to his surprise, Dumbledore was still inside.
The light in the room was changing in the light of the fireplace beside him, and it was already early in the morning, and the portraits of the previous headmasters on the wall were dozing off in their frames, and Professor Dumbledore was sitting at his desk, his fingers folded, looking at a visitor from the Ministry of Magic in front of him, and he whispered:
"Azkaban has lost contact?"
The gentleman in front of him said, "Yes, if Sirius is true, the day before yesterday a group of dark wizards captured Azkaban, and we can't contact Azkaban now, the sea has been inflicted with powerful black magic, the Krakens sing in the storm, the Dementors dance in the wind and rain, and there are a large number of ghost ships shadowed in the fog, full of evil ghosts and water spirits. ”
"Azkaban is hidden, and the Aurors struggle to fight Dementors, water spirits, and Kraken in these harsh sea conditions."
"And we have to guard against the Death Eaters who escaped...... Someone has already seen them in Tumbledown Alley! ”
"It wasn't Voldemort who captured Azkaban?" Dumbledore lit his pipe.
"Yes, Sirius said it was another man who couldn't be named, and Voldemort's Horcrux had failed miserably at his hands...... But strangely enough, he didn't seem to want to talk about it. But we can't ask him if someone in the ministry thinks we can't trust a Death Eater, a loyal lackey of the Dark Lord...... This must be another conspiracy by the Death Eaters to keep the mysterious man who is dead. ”
"Although it is said that Sirius betrayed his best friend, I believe that there must be something hidden in this, and I have always advocated for caution in this case, but no one in the Ministry of Magic listened to my ......"
The man on the other side said in a somewhat embarrassed tone, "This ...... After all, Sirius has already admitted it himself! ”
"I want to see his letter......" Dumbledore said.
"Please wait, Mr. Fudge will bring it to you later!"
"Sirius wrote a terrible story about the Dark Wizard, saying that he had brutally killed Bellatrix Lestrange, the Dark Lord's most faithful follower, and enslaved her soul, transforming her into a banshee—a newly created magical creature of the dark magic that imprisoned the witch's soul in their dead corpses, transformed by the magic of the full moon."
"And to bestow great dark magic on the Death Eaters who have fallen in love with him...... This is evidenced by the fact that we accidentally caught the trail of Rabastan Lestrange in that sea, and his dark magic power became unsurprisingly powerful, and under the siege of seven Aurors, he seriously wounded three of them, killed one Auror, and left unscathed. ”
"This powerful Dark Wizard was revered by the Death Eaters as the Third Dark Lord...... If Sirius's words were true, then he would be a more terrifying character than Voldemort......"
