Chapter 138: The Incident in the Slytherin Freshmen's Dormitory
"So, is the same with the blood curse on Elshiona?" Shiwen frowned, lost in thought.
Dumbledore shook his head lightly and said to Xiwen, "If you are talking about the blood curse of the Greengrass family, it is probably not the same as the blood curse on Nagini. ”
"In fact, blood curses are just a generic term for those curses that are applied to bloodlines, and they can be divided into many types. This curse is a very complex type of magic. ”
"And what will the blood curse on Elciona ultimately cause her to become?" Xiwen asked worriedly.
"Xiwen, I'm sorry, I'm not an expert on this." Dumbledore sighed and said softly. "If Professor Enriquez can't help you with that, then I can't think of anyone better."
When Siwen heard Dumbledore's words, he collapsed listlessly on Dumbledore's large sofa, feeling a little low.
"But don't worry too much, we're already working on the issue of the Blood Curse." Dumbledore smiled at Sevin and comforted. "Everything is going to be fine."
"I hope so." Xiwen nodded slightly.
……
The next day was the first weekend after school started.
Shivin still maintains his old habit of routinely going to Nick Lemay's safe house to learn alchemy.
"You seem to be a little unhappy?" Lemay saw at a glance that Xiwen's mood was not quite right, and asked him.
"Well, a little worried about a friend." Xiwen forced a smile and said to Lemay.
"If you'd like, talk to us two old guys." Madame Lemay came over and smiled kindly at Sven. "We've lived so long and seen a lot of things, maybe we can help you with something!"
"It would be nice if you two could give me advice!" Xiwen's mood lifted slightly, and after thinking for a while, he said to the two old men. "A friend of mine has a very powerful blood curse in his family. Now it seems to be manifested in her. Even Dumbledore couldn't do anything about the curse. ”
"Oh? If even Dumbledore can't do it, you can't be talking about the Greengrass family's blood curse, right? Lemay glanced at Shevin and asked.
"Huh?" Shivin looked at Lemay and asked in surprise. "It's indeed the Greengrass family's blood curse, how did you guess based on such a little information?"
"After all, it's a powerful blood curse known as the 'Curse of Death', and you may not know how well-known this blood curse is in the bloodline magic circle." Lemay said. "Its place in bloodline magic is what Grindelwald's status in the wizarding world is."
"Really...... Is it so powerful? Xiwen froze in place.
"I've been trying to learn something new every now and then in the last six hundred years, and of course I've learned a little bit about bloodline magic." Lemay bowed his head slightly and said to Xiwen. "The Greengrass family's blood curse is a good example, it appeared even earlier than the year I was born."
"At that time, there were countless generations of bloodline magic experts who were asked by the Greengrass family to solve the problem of blood spells, but those famous experts all did nothing. This also contributed to the great reputation of the Greengrass family's blood curse. ”
"I don't think they want the family to be famous because of this." Xiwen sighed.
"yes, no family would want to be famous like this." Lemay lamented. "But since there is nothing you can do about this blood curse, it is better to make it more famous, maybe it can attract more capable wizards to help them solve their problems."
"It's a pity that after generations of wear, this curse carved into the bone marrow has shattered the confidence of many bloodline magic experts, and then it has slowly been called 'Death's Curse'. The Greengrass family's blood curse could not be broken, and it gradually became a consensus in the circle. ”
"So there's really no way around it?" Xiwen furrowed his eyebrows tightly and asked in a deep voice.
"At present, it seems that there is no way to completely crack it, but there is no problem in alleviating the symptoms of the blood curse." Lemay said. "When you get back to Hogwarts, you can ask the little guy with the Blood Curse to write back to the family and ask if they should have a complete mitigation plan."
"Okay, cheer up, don't worry so much just yet!" Lemay slapped Shiwen on the shoulder, and a "Kacha" sound came from his own bones.
"Uh, your hand ......" Xiwen's attention was immediately diverted, and he looked at Lemay's hand in embarrassment.
"Minor problem." With a tooth-aching sound, Lemay expertly lifted his hand bones into the right position. "Don't worry about it, do you know? According to the tradition of the Greengrass family, if you do a good job of relieving the symptoms of the blood curse, you can live in peace for at least a dozen more years. ”
My Healing Game
"Maybe one day in the future, a solution will emerge!"
Xiwen also cheered up and nodded heavily.
……
That night, upon returning to Hogwarts, Sevin immediately stopped the still depressed Elshiona in the common room and comforted her to write home to ask for a cure for the Blood Curse.
After watching her deliver the letter, Xiwen was roughly relieved.
After sending Elciona back to bed early, Sivin suddenly remembered the difficult task that Dumbledore had given him - to befriend Riddle!
He thought for a moment, silently walked to the door of the boys' dormitory of the first-year Slytherin freshman, and knocked politely on the door.
"Is anyone there?" Xiwen asked.
"Nobody...... Ah no, it's not. Wait a minute! A rough voice came from inside.
"What the hell is going on inside...... "The corner of Xiwen's mouth twitched, and he directly opened the door with a lock-picking charm.
The furnishings in this bedroom are similar to those of Xiwen's room.
A green chandelier hangs from the ceiling, four beds are lined up on either side, and directly opposite the bedroom door is a fireplace that doesn't burn in late summer. Behind the fireplace are tall windows and dark waters of the Black Lake.
There were now two Slytherin wizards in the room, one of them was a rugged-looking Lystrange, and the other was a skinny little wizard, and Siven had no impression of his name. They didn't know what they were doing, and their expressions stiffened when they saw Xiwen coming in.
As soon as Xiwen pushed the door in, Strange subconsciously put his hands behind his back, looked at him awkwardly and asked, "Rozier, why are you here?" ”
"Let me see how you live? Are you still adjusting to life at Hogwarts? Xiwen curled the corners of his mouth and looked at the two of them with a smile and said.
"Our campus life is very good, thank you seniors for your concern." The other skinny little wizard seemed to be afraid that Strange would say the wrong thing, so he hurriedly took over the conversation and replied to Xiwen.
"What's your name?" Shiwen looked at the skinny little wizard and asked.
"Avery, my name is Pablo Avery." The skinny little wizard said.
"It turned out to be the Avery family." Shiwen smiled kindly.
However, the next moment, his expression sank, putting a heavy pressure on Strange and Avery.
He slowly took a few steps forward, and the oppressed two little wizards unconsciously retreated.
"Can you show me what you have in your hand?"
Xiwen stared at the two of them and said word by word.
