Chapter 127: Forbidden Magic and Stripped Souls
Hogsmeade, the only all-wizarding village in the country.
John walks into Duke Honey's candy shop, which is very popular with young wizards.
Even a grown wizard would appear here, and the crawling cockroach pile made John wonder if the person who made the candy was a little psychologically distorted.
Grabbing a cockroach-like candy, he can still feel the sensation crawling in his mouth when he puts it in his mouth.
Sweet, very sweet.
It's like pouring a mouthful of syrup directly into the throat, and it's so sweet that it hurts your throat.
"Boss, bring me some of this."
Swallowing the cockroach pile without changing his face, John consumed ten Galleons, and a large pile of candy was stuffed into his small bag.
Speaking of being a village, naturally there is no need to expect Hogsmeade to be big.
John walked around and saw Hagrid running out to drink.
He followed him into the Three Broomsticks Bar, where John asked for a butterbeer.
After taking a sip, he felt pretty good, even better if it was iced.
It's a pity that the iced butterbeer will clump and will be very greasy to drink.
"John? Why are you here? ”
Hagrid often drank on three broomsticks, and when he saw John, he subconsciously shouted out.
John gestured to his seat and invited him to sit down, glanced at the extra striker outside, and said lightly, "Hogsmeade really has a lot of people from the Ministry of Magic. ”
Hagrid's beer was worth a barrel of John's, and he drank most of it in one gulp, and whispered, "You know, little ...... Sirius is near Hogwarts. ”
With a hesitation on his face, if it weren't for John in front of him, Hagrid wouldn't say it easily, he approached John and said in a self-righteous voice: "That guy is coming for Harry, you don't know, he used to ......"
He opened his mouth several times but didn't say anything, and Hagrid struggled.
Seeing that he was in such pain, John waved his hand and said, "Don't force yourself to tell me, Hagrid, are you looking for my help?" ”
After taking a sip of Butterbeer, John saw Hagrid like this and knew he was looking for help.
This made him habitually put on a profound posture, and his right hand was subconsciously placed on his left hand.
It's a pity that the spell ring was not brought out, otherwise it would be a proper wizard godfather.
He leaned back in his chair, his eyes scrutinizing.
This look gave Hagrid the illusion of facing Dumbledore, and subconsciously sat upright.
With hesitation in his face, Hagrid hesitated, "John, I know you are very powerful, you are the most powerful student I have ever met, that Sirius will definitely look for Harry, I hope you can ......"
"You want me to protect Harry?"
John looked at Hagrid and said indifferently, "Hagrid, you're not the first person to talk to me like this, someone said this to me when I was in the second grade. ”
Hagrid was a little embarrassed, after all, John was also a student, and he was a professor, so it always felt a little strange to let students protect students.
"Harry isn't a child, Hagrid, he can protect himself."
John didn't agree, and the second-year protection of Harry was still suspected, and he had to study soul magic again this year, so he didn't have much time.
Hagrid was a little anxious, his voice was a little louder, and he said, "You don't know how cruel that Sirius guy is! ”
"He's betrayed James, he's betrayed his best friend, and besides, he's still ......"
As the words came to his lips, Hagrid lowered his head a little dejectedly and said, "He's still Harry's godfather, I can't believe what Harry would think if he knew." ”
What do you think?
John thought that if Harry knew, he would probably have the idea of rushing out and killing Sirius.
It dawned on John that it was no wonder that the Weasleys were worried about Harry's impulsiveness, and it turned out to be because of this.
For Harry, this was the beginning of all misfortune.
Don't talk about Harry, if it were him, John didn't think he could bear it much.
Hagrid took a sullen sip of his wine, a glass of beer that could be said to be a barrel bottomed out.
"John, you promise me that you must stop him."
Hagrid looked silly, but he cared more about Harry than anyone else.
He is like a clumsy father who tries to protect his children as much as possible.
"I'll keep an eye on him for you, but please understand that Harry is not a puppy, and I can't keep him on a leash."
John nodded, not quite agreeing.
As long as you encounter it, you will not sit idly by.
Hagrid was delighted to hear this, he felt that John was the best student, and even the professor was no match for John.
"Another glass of butterbeer, I'll ask you."
Hagrid saw that John's glass was empty and got him a new one.
After drinking the glass, John got up and left, Hogsmeade even more bored than he had imagined.
But his real purpose wasn't here.
Putting on a mask on himself and shrouding himself under a cloak, John changed bars.
Hog's Head Bar.
There really is a pig's head in the pig's head bar, and the pig's head still moves, and saliva sticks to the fangs, dripping down.
The atmosphere here is not as warm and harmonious as that of the three brooms, and the people of all religions and nine streams are here, and some shady transactions are going on.
John found a place to sit down, his whole body covered under his cloak, and his appearance was invisible.
Shortly after he sat down, the man with the white mask came to sit down on the opposite side.
"Your Excellency."
The man spoke, in a voice familiar to John.
John said in a calm voice, "What do I want?" ”
"Here, from an old witch in Tumbledown Alley, the old guy used the child as an experiment, and we have solved it."
A book, a book in a silver carved box to be exact.
John took the box, and after confirming that it was correct, he nodded, his voice still hoarse, "Go back, you can write to me about anything about the store, there shouldn't be any action on the Ministry of Magic, right?" ”
Tang Mi said with adoration on his face: "No, the Ministry of Magic has a good impression of us now, Cornelius Fudge once wanted to visit you, but I refused to do so on the grounds that you were out. ”
"Visit me? It seemed that Dumbledore was gradually losing patience with him, and he was a little anxious. ”
Shaking his head, John said lightly: "Fudge is not a qualified minister, we just need to wait and see what happens, and wait until the time is ripe before intervening." ”
"Yes." Tang Mi nodded, and immediately left the pig's head bar.
He left with his front foot, and John picked up the book with his back foot and left.
The book can't be stuffed into a handbag yet, because it's not simply a book.
"Forbidden Magic", this is an old book, so old that John needs to hold it carefully.
Powerful magic was also applied to it, and John happened to see the account in the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets.
The book was supposed to be in a secret room, but now it's in Tumbledown Alley.
For a while, Voldemort spent time in Tumbledown Alley.
I think it's because of this relationship that this book fell into Tumbledown Alley.
And John Way, in order to manage Johnny's silver hand image, cleared the wizards who plagued the children in Tumbledown Alley, and happened to run into it.
There are studies on the soul and the like, including methods for separating the soul.
John didn't stay in Hogsmeade for long, he was in a place where no one was, and he left directly using apparition.
Daphne is still looking for John, and she finally sees John, but after a turn, John is gone.
...
Back at Hogwarts, John hurried to the Chamber of Secrets.
Filch was a little strange to see John back.
Harry also saw John, and was curious, but unfortunately John was faster than him and soon disappeared.
"Why did John come back?" Harry stared in the direction of John's disappearance, lost in thought.
John had arrived at the chamber and opened the beautifully carved silver box, which contained a book with an unknown red leather cover.
As soon as he touched it, a scream rang in John's ears.
The voice was shrill and piercing, as if it were the wail of a Dementor.
John endured the discomfort and expelled the sound with Occlumency.
"A spell that hits the soul." After the voice died down, John's face was much better.
When I opened the book, there were a lot of records in it with beautiful flowers.
John watched quietly, a look of surprise in his eyes from time to time.
Close the book and digest the contents.
John took the box and went to catch the Dementors again.
Capture the Dementors and conduct an experiment.
"Curse to curse, soul to soul, peel back the cocoon, be careful."
The Dementors were broken apart bit by bit, and three hours passed quickly.
John held a position as he saw an incredible scene before his eyes.
A human body glowing with a silver-white light was pulled out by John, and the two colors of black and white were distinct.
"It worked."
The human body quickly shrunk into a ball, and John used his wand to separate the black and white ones.
The joy on his face was hard to hide, and the last bit of soul was bottled, and John couldn't help but clench his fists.
He successfully completed an operation, and instead of dying, the Dementors were stripped away.
"Use another soul as a blade."
Staring at the exhaustion of those accumulated soul fragments, John's face gradually calmed down, and he sighed, "What a cruel operation. ”
Thankfully, there were Dementors, and John could catch a few more to spare.
