Early in the morning, the door of Duke Honey's confectionery was open, and the room was filled with a sweet and greasy smell, and the owner was sitting at the counter fiddling with a container filled with colorful syrup, presumably mixing a new style of candy.

Joel swaggered in with William, who had cast the illusion spell, and the entrance to the secret passage to Hogwarts was at the innermost side of the store, and he managed to enter the secret passage without alerting the owner.

After a long circle, he finally returned to Hogwarts with William, and when the sun was rising, he could see several hard-working students in the foyer reciting books, including Cedric and Autumn, but Joel didn't think that the two of them were here to study.

Walking across the early morning lawn, the smell of dew and grass burrowed into Joel's trouser legs, and without William, Joel would now be jogging by the Black Lagoon or practicing Animagus in the fresh air.

He carried William past Hagrid's hut, the half-blood giant was still awake early, the hound tooth jumped out of the house happily, its sense of smell was very keen, nearly ten meters away, it still sensed that the air was not smelling right, it wrinkled its nose, and its dark eyes stared straight at Joel.

It was about to step forward, and Joel's wand slid down its cuff.

"Tooth tooth!" Hagrid's gruff voice suddenly appeared, "Where did you run away without breakfast?" ”

Toothtooth whimpered as it glanced at Joel's area again, then wagged its tail back into the house.

Joel had just put away his wand and stepped into the Forbidden Forest.

The Forbidden Forest is quiet in the morning, and most of the hunters at the top of the food chain have not yet started hunting, only the early birds crouch on the branches, excreting and observing the surroundings for insects that do not have long eyes.

Joel takes William deeper into the Forbidden Forest, he is going to Tom's lair of the heterochromic tiger, Joel is not a road idiot, he knows the way.

Half an hour later, he appeared in front of the cave with a cloth bag, and the cave was still camouflaged by various dead branches and leaves, and it was difficult to find this cave without careful exploration.

He lifted the illusion spell from his body and stood outside the cave waiting.

In a few moments, there was a low roar and rustling sound in the cave, and a stout tiger burst out, its eyes still bright in the early morning sun.

Tiger Tom took two steps forward, rubbing Joel's body affectionately, his eyes on his pockets.

Joel stroked Tom's head indiscriminately, and then opened the cloth bag next to him, William was caught in a coma spell and had not yet woken up, and Joel had to use the "Hurry Up" charm.

The first thing William did when he came to his senses was to look around, green grass, green trees, everything seemed quiet and peaceful.

If you exclude the tiger in front of him.

William shivered as he looked at the muscles on the tiger's body, and his calves trembled.

"Tom," Joel shoved William in front of the tiger, "and I'll leave this man to you." ”

Tom and William all had humanized puzzled expressions.

How arrogant William was before, how cowardly he is now, his legs trembled and he almost knelt down, he had a towel stuffed in his mouth, and he couldn't speak, only whining.

The tiger glanced at William, as if to gauge whether the food was palatable.

It hadn't eaten the Homo erectus before, and it shouldn't have tasted good, and its gaze wandered around until it finally settled in Joel's pocket.

Tom pounced.

William applauded in his heart, and he was counting on the tiger to avenge him now.

The tiger stood taller than Joel, and it used its tongue to stroke Joel's hair, and the barbs on the tongue combined with saliva were stronger than the hairspray effect, directly licking Joel's bangs into a big back.

"Don't come here!" Joel pushed the tiger away with his arm, "What the hell are you going to do?" ”

The tiger roared, its big head rubbing against Joel's pocket.

Joel pulled out the contents of his pocket, and there were only two storage bags for him and William.

The tiger went straight to the blue storage bag, and with his big claws tore open the satin cloth bag, bursting out a pile of items like a treasure chest in an online game, several standard school robes, dozens of Garonsico, a key to the Gringotts vault and a string of keys to Godric's Hollow home, a birthday gift from Haylis, a star sapphire engraved with the two of them, and a brownish-gray cloth bag.

"I'll go!" Joel was in a hurry, and he was about to rescue things from under his big claws.

The tiger obediently let go of its paws, and it aimed for the brownish-gray cloth bag.

The two sharp claws gently untied the cloth bag with extraordinary dexterity, and two large eyeballs dripped out of it.

It's the basilisk's eyes, Joel hastily removed these eyes when he ran out of the secret room before, and he didn't pay attention to it after getting the system reward, but he didn't expect Tiger Tom to be so hungry.

The tiger raised its eyes, and its eyes became watery, and it walked up to Joel, stuck out its tongue and licked his palm.

Crispy and numb.

"You want these basilisk eyeballs?" Joel asked, pointing to the pair of eyes on the ground that were about the size of his palm.

The tiger nodded repeatedly, then raised his head to William.

Joel understood what Tom meant, and the eyeball was used as a reward for helping William.

"All right," Joel readily agreed, and it was useless for the eyeball to remain in his hands now, "but you must promise me to dispose of his body." ”

Tom nodded, opened his mouth and swallowed a pair of eyeballs, smashing his mouth as if savoring the taste.

Then, before Joel could speak, it got up and picked up William, who, though tall and large, looked defenseless in the face of a strong tiger.

He wriggled his body and tried to let out a wail, he even felt that the tiger's sharp teeth had pierced his robes, and because of his emotion, the pale blue magic came out of his body, but it had no effect on the heterochromic pupil tiger, it was no different from tickling.

"Wait!" Joel suddenly remembered a missing detail, and he pulled out William's wand.

The tiger turned its head and shook its long tail.

Joel has to fake a magical beast that kills a wizard by mistake, and of course the wand must not leave a flaw, and beware of a possible flashback spell that will cause the wand to shoot out the spell it used in flashback.

Joel stood there and pondered for a moment, "The fluorescent flicker. ”

"Peace."

"It's all petrified."

……

"There are many obstacles."

"Thunderbolt explosion."

Joel struggled to conceive a spell that a wizard who strayed into the Forbidden Forest would cast when confronted by a beast, casting dozens of spells in turns until the magic inside him was drained.

He handed the wand to the tiger, and Tom seemed to be a little sleepy, blinking and shaking his head, before he raised his paw and snapped the wand off, leaving a clear and unusual paw print on the wand.

Joel carefully wiped the fingerprints from his wand, then removed the towel from William's mouth, loosened the rope that bound him, and put all of William's belongings, including the book "Interpreting the Spellcasting Methods and Mysterious Spells of the Eighth Century Norse Wizards", and said goodbye to Tiger Tom and left the cave.

William's screams echoed through the cave, and he tried to make a final struggle, he tried to apparition without using his wand, but he failed without suspense.

Imagine the Chinese network

"Tiger, Uncle Tiger......" William's smile was more ugly than crying, he simply knelt down directly, looking at the tiger's clear eyes with different colors, "You spare my life, I will definitely repay you when I come back." ”

He thinks that this tiger is very docile and does not seem to harm humans, so maybe he can survive with his kindness?

Tom's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he raised his head and let out a roar, the terrifying power of the creature at the top of the food chain from the depths of his soul that made William's mind go blank.

Its claws fell heavily, William subconsciously turned sideways, Tom's strength was much greater than that of its kind, the wizard's fragile body couldn't resist it at all, and William's shoulder was directly torn apart.

William's mouth grew and wanted to scream freely, but Tom didn't give him a chance at all, and his fangs tore William's throat fiercely.

"Ho, ho, ho......" William covered his throat, blood splashed out from the edge of his palm, a trace of unwillingness and resentment flashed in his eyes, the vitality in his body passed rapidly with the loss of blood, and he was groggy in front of him, after all, he couldn't withstand the sleepiness that hit him like a tide, he slowly closed his eyes.

The tiger circled the carcass twice, trying to tear open a piece of meat with its lower mouth and swallow it.

Halfway through his swallow, Tom frowned, sour to death, just like the werewolves.

It spat out the rest of the flesh and left the cave with William's body in its mouth, deciding to give the human corpse to the werewolf tribe at the foot of the far mountain.

Joel heard Tom's deafening roar, and he knew that William was dead, and he let out a cloudy breath.

This is the first time Joel has participated in the killing, although it is not his own hands, but it is indeed he who caused William's death, and his heart is a little sour.

It wasn't his intention to kill someone, and if William didn't come to him, Joel wouldn't mind being a well-behaved student who worked hard, but it backfired, and he had already formed a lot of bonds with the Eternal Nightmen intentionally or unintentionally, William wasn't the beginning, nor the end,

He rubbed his face and used the Occlumency Technique to try to hide the negative emotions in his heart, but the emotional and personality effects of being familiar with the dark arts were very huge, and the Occlumency Technique could not completely cover up.

Thankfully, it was early in the morning and there weren't any large predators, so Joel made it all the way back to the edge of the Forbidden Forest, and then used the little magic he had just recovered to cast a spell on himself to cover himself back to the castle.

As soon as I returned to the tower and opened the dormitory door, I saw Alan walking out with sleepy eyes, holding a big black circle on his head, and his demeanor looked quite similar to that of an entertainer with excellent time management.

"Where did you go last night?" Alan yawned when he saw him, "The three of us waited for a long time, thinking you had snuck out to play and were caught by Filch." ”

"I'm sorry," Joel explained to him, "I went back to Godric's Hollow last night and something was left there and I forgot to pick it up. ”

He pulled out a stack of photographs from his bulging pocket, the blue satin bag had been torn by Tom, and he had to put everything in the bag into his pocket.
