Chapter 60: A Prophecy
While the Dark Arts Professor was in his prime, Durmstrang's infirmary was in a log cabin near the East Tower on the shores of Lake Vastter.
Snow is piling up on the roof, and several self-cleaning brooms are trying their best to clear the thick layer of snow outside the entrance of the school doctor's office.
"It's finally stopped."
Professor Dan Lin looked at the sky outside the window, the first snow of the day had already come to an end, and it looked white and quiet outside the window.
"Director, I think you've thought it through."
She gently brushed the long hair between her eyebrows to her ears, without any posture, and said gently.
Director Stricker stood quietly beside a hospital bed not far away, on which lay his wife, who was already asleep.
The slightly sluggish-looking girl sat in a chair with the Rubik's Cube given by Malfoy last night and fell asleep. She hadn't gone to Professor Vega's herbal medicine class this morning, and had been in the school's infirmary since she woke up.
"Hmm." Hearing Professor Danlin's words, Director Stricker replied calmly.
"I think you already know about Professor Malfoy, but as Durmstrang's vice chancellor, I think I have to remind you."
Professor Dan Lin said softly, "There are risks associated with any magical healing, and Professor Malfoy, as the originator of the Dark Arts Healing, we believe in his abilities, but at the same time, we must be prepared for the risks. β
"I understand, Professor Danlin, and I know the risks I have to take, and I've been prepared for them since before."
Also as a Durmstrang graduate, Director Stricker knew very well what Professor Danlin meant.
After all, even the greatest wizard can't guarantee that he won't die, and a potions master can't guarantee that every potion will be successful.
"But could it be worse than it is now?"
Director Stricker said sarcastically.
Sometimes he thought that he would rather have drunk the poison himself than lying in bed and falling asleep to her.
However, there is no such thing as a if......
"At least we have to believe that tomorrow will always be better."
Professor Dan Lin looked at the man in front of him quietly, and then as if he remembered something, he stood up, "I'm sorry, Director, I think I'm going to check on another student's condition." β
"Feel free, Professor Danlin."
Director Stricker said he had been waiting for a long, long time and didn't care about the time.
Professor Dan Lin exited the room, walked through the transparent glass ceiling-covered corridor, and walked to a room at the end.
The door closed quietly, and Professor Danlin checked on the student who had been sent by Professor Merino this morning.
Professor Malfoy's Dark Arts......
The student showed no signs of waking up, he seemed to be having a nightmare, his brow furrowed, but he smiled strangely.
Undeterred by this, Professor Danlin re-examined the wound and found that the vascular protrusions in the hollow eye sockets did not show signs of atrophy, and seemed to be protected by some strange force.
"Although Malfoy's approach is not worth advocating." Professor Danlin sighed inwardly, but she didn't blame Professor Malfoy.
After all, this kind of thing has been common since Karkaroff became the headmaster, and there are always a dozen incidents of dark magic injuries every month.
- There have been more than a dozen stabs to her, and I am afraid that there are even more in private.
Although Professor Malfoy's hand may seem serious, as long as the influence of the dark magic is removed, it is much easier to treat than the hands of those little wizards who are not light or heavy.
What's more, he was originally a therapist.
"Durmstrang ......"
Professor Dan Lin feels that a lot has happened in the past two days.
As for why the school is like this...... Everything began with the arrival of Igor Karkarov.
Durmstrang is in dire straits.
The first was the promulgation of the new school rule, which allowed students to use any black magic within the school premises without any responsibility as long as it did not cause the death of others.
Then there is a redefinition of the so-called "strong only one", no matter what means are used, as long as it can be done, even if it is to take other people's wands, Jin Gallon as his own, then just take it.
Magical schools have always been a very special existence in the world, according to the current international education law, magic schools are not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Magic in any place, except for the relevant cases specially stipulated in international law, everything else will be based on the school rules of local magic schools.
The Norwegian Ministry of Magic does not have the right to directly interfere in the internal workings of the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and Durmstrang's history also means that it does not have a supervisory body similar to the school board, so to speak, all rights belong to the headmaster.
Wouldn't be a good headmaster, and he couldn't be a good headmaster, he put the Death Eaters' set on the school, turning the magic school that was supposed to be used to learn and train young wizards into a "dark wizard" processing factory.
In the past few years, there have been questions from the parents of the injured students, "warning orders" from the International Wizengamot Court, and talks with the International Federation of Wizards' Educational Examinations Department......
He stepped Durmstrang into the mud again, after he had managed to recover from the effects of Grindelwald.
If it weren't for the fact that Professor Dan Lin took advantage of Principal Karkaroff's absence to forcibly break into the president's office, and for the first time became angry and shouted at the portraits of countless principals to order them to stop Karkaroff's crazy measures immediately, it would have only been worse now.
As for the reason why Karkaroff, who was a Death Eater, was able to become Durmstrang's headmaster...... It should be said that it originated from a prophecy, a prophecy made by a professor of divination in 1957.
And this was the last prophecy of the divination professor.
He is a true soothsayer, with the power of prophetic blood, and this time he is divining the possibility of the future for Durmstrong, the possibility of coming out of the shadow of Grindelwald.
But on the second day, the professor in the North Tower found him hanging himself in the room where he was living.
At that time, the professor at the school only found brown paper written in blood, torn to pieces, and many of which had been destroyed by unknown spells, in the messy room.
- (the first half disappears), it illuminates the blood-colored earth.
- The singing and the innumerable ...... at the end Handstand...... Death ravages the land, and the world is devastated.
- Only the place with the noble idea has survived, and it will be immortalized forever.
- Oh, the cause of all this comes from an ununderstood wish, the owner of the wish......
- He\She\Its...... is the key to cracking everything, but all those who mention it will die under their own hands.
- What is the clue? There will be no clues, even the prophecy is under his/her\its control. What I'm talking about is nothing more than a trivial thing that doesn't deserve to be mentioned.
- Good Samaritan, if you hear this paragraph, you will understand where the way out lies in the future.
- When you encounter a turning point, follow your heart's desire......
- Wishes come from a ...... that shouldn't exist That unspeakable wish will also rest with me here, and he/she\ it will be there......
β¦β¦
- What are you going to do?! What do you want?!
From the neat handwriting at the beginning to the hysteria at the end, no one knew what was really going on with the professor, and no one dared to ask and probe it.
The school decided to keep the room closed permanently, so that even the most senior professors of the dark arts would not dare to try to touch the secrets of that room.
- That prophecy broke the school's protective spell and strangled a soothsayer professor to die in the school, killing his soul.
What remains on the vellum paper is known only to the principal, but the previous president told her about the contents of the vellum paper when he appointed Professor Dan Lin as vice president a few years ago.
Then, shortly after, the headmaster called Igor Karkarov and told the professors that he was the next president of Durmstrang.
Everything comes from the guidance of prophecy...... Faced with the incomprehension of the school professors, the principal, who was supposed to travel, said this in the frame of the picture that came to life.
Including the new school rules, Karkaroff's stupidity, and his lack of seriousness about the school and its students, are all prophecies.
Incomplete, incomprehensible and strange prophecies.
ββ
Professor Dan Lin lost her mind, and by the time she came back to her senses, she was already in her office, and a soaking student was already standing in front of her.
"Mr. Hollen, I think you should be in the Dark Arts Classroom right now."
This morning's third-year class was Professor Malfoy's dark magic, and he was caught skipping class.
When Professor Dan Lin saw the red letter following behind Ethan Hollen, he picked up the quill pen on the side and pulled out the leave note in the drawer:
"Please don't do that next time."
She had heard in the morning that a third-year student had appeared in a place where she shouldn't be now, and she wanted to go and see it herself, but Professor Merino sent the student who had been blinded by Professor Malfoy, and the matter had to be handled by Professor Malfoy himself.
At least...... Well, it's pretty total, everything that's supposed to be there is there.
Mr. Hollen's clothes were so wet that he couldn't help but shiver.
But even so, in front of Professor Dan Lin, he still held his head high and looked stubborn. But the red envelope floating behind him didn't leave any face for the bad boy who skipped class.
"Mr. Hollen."
Professor Malfoy's eerie tone echoed behind Ethan Hollen.
"I think you know what to say, right?"
"Or do you want to go into Lake Vaster again and continue playing hide and seek with the horse-shaped monsters?"
Ethan Hollen, a big man of more than 1.8 meters, was even more pale with fright.
Prof. Dan Lin: ??? Horse-shaped water monster ???
So Professor Malfoy, what did you do with this kid?
Originally, she was a little worried that Professor Malfoy would not be used to it, or that she would not be able to control the group of young wizards, but now it seems that she should be worried about the group of students......
