Chapter 119 5-legged monster

Chapter 119 5-legged monster

Christmas Day dawn came, the weather was cold and white.In comparison, Hufflepuff's dormitories are much warmer.

When Karan opened his eyes, he saw a small pile of packages lying at the foot of the bed.

There is a complete set of chocolate frog drawings given to him by Steve. I have several sets at home. A book of alchemical spells given by Guspard. It seems that he has completely regarded Karan as a useful tool man. , the large bucket of Bibi's multi-flavor beans sent by Lily may be because of Penny. Most of them have weird colors. Karan plans to feed them to Steve. The small bottle of joy potion sent by Snape can make the user have inexplicable emotions. The joy, this must have been secretly prepared by him, using his own pocket money.

In addition, there were many gifts, including another snack package from Meadows. This surprised Karan because he did not prepare a gift for Meadows, and this was already the third snack package. . , a large portion of special strawberry pudding sent by Principal Dumbledore. This should be a gift in return for the wine that Karan sent. Fortunately, it is not a book. .

While Karan was unpacking, an owl flew in and dropped a letter into Karan's hands.

The signature on this is Anthony Yard.

After opening it, there was only an ordinary photo inside, and the characters on it were motionless. Children of all sizes were standing in rows in the hall, with a portrait of Mr. Anthony hanging on the wall behind them.

Karan stared at the photo for a while.

"not bad."

He said to himself, and threw the photo into a glass bottle with a blue bellflower flame, and it was completely reduced to ashes.

The auditorium looked beautiful and spectacular. The walls were covered with hanging flower ribbons composed of holly and mistletoe. There were twelve towering Christmas trees standing around. Some books were hung with small sparkling icicles, and some were glittering with hundreds of icicles. candle.

Karan and Snape separated after entering the auditorium. Snape still had a stiff expression on his face, because in addition to the Gobstone game, Karan gave him an additional quick-smoothing hair spray set.

"I tell you, it would be easier if you cut your hair."

Karan spread his hands and said: "At least this way you can get another gift instead of a shampoo set."

Snape neither liked Callan's mocking gift nor rejected his offer.

"Don't order me"

He said these words again, the anger on his face was particularly obvious.

At the teacher's table, Principal Dumbledore was not absent again. He led the students to sing several of his favorite Christmas carols. Professor Meadows on the side echoed awkwardly but politely, obviously not very adaptable. This kind of atmosphere.

When the two men looked at Karan respectively, he showed a sincere smile, indicating that he was very satisfied with their gifts.

It was just that Professor Meadows suddenly rolled his eyes at him, as if it was because Karan didn't give her a gift, or because he simply wanted to try this.Because before Karan could react, she turned her attention elsewhere, with a slight smile on her lips.

Karan narrowed his eyes slightly, but he didn't show anything strange, at least he didn't openly provoke Meadows anymore.

After the banquet, Karan returned to the dormitory alone, and he continued to read advanced transformation skills silently.In his hand, there was also a copy of Fantastic Beasts and Steve's invisibility cloak.

During this period of time, he had roughly figured out the context of the magic coin's transformation spell.But precisely because of this, Karan understood even more how difficult a spell this was.

If he just studies step by step, it will undoubtedly take up a lot of his time.

But fortunately, this is not without a solution.

In transfiguration, the expected deformation effect t will be affected by the original substance, such as weight a and degree of deformation v.

Among them, regarding the degree of deformation v, Karan suddenly thought of a more suitable material.

This is an irreversible permanent deformation, which itself has the magic power of transfiguration.

This is a five-legged monster, a magical animal at the xxxxx dangerous level, which is the highest level.

According to legend, two wizarding families once lived on the island of Delia, and there was a feud between them.One family turns the other into a five-legged monster, but the clumsy victims become more dangerous after becoming five-legged monsters.

The family tried to change each other back, but failed.Eventually, these five-legged monsters killed everyone who belonged to the family.

It is impossible to know whether this legend is true or not, because one of the two families died, and the other became a monster that could not communicate.

And after becoming five-legged monsters, they resolutely resisted all attempts by the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures to restore them to their original form.

They would rather remain a monster forever than become human again.

The Delia Island was also set as an unplottable location to prevent anyone from dying there out of curiosity.

This is the material that Karan plans to use to solve the magic coin.

He didn't know where Delia Island was, but he seemed to know where to get the five-legged monsters.

At night, the time for curfew gradually arrives.

Karan finally put down the book and picked up the invisibility cloak beside him.

After putting it on, he left the Hufflepuff common room and walked up.

The reason why he left this invisibility cloak was to go to the Forbidden Forest alone.

Go and find out where that female ghost comes from.

In fact, Karan has secretly visited the Forbidden Forest many times.But unfortunately, he never met the female ghost again.

But fortunately, this invisibility cloak was put to use tonight.

There were very few students living in the castle during the holidays, and Filch seemed to have gone to bed early due to the dinner.

So smoothly, Karan reached the eighth floor of the castle.

After walking back and forth three times in front of a wall, a door appeared.

Karan walked in without hesitation.

In a room as big as a church, everything around it was dark, but within the shadow was a city like a city with high walls.

It's still the room specially used for hiding things, and this is Karan's second time in the Room of Requirement.

He wasted no time, found an alley among the treasure piles, and went in, exploring around.

After passing a giant monster specimen, he ran forward for a short distance, and finally stopped in front of a large cabinet door with a blistered surface that looked like acid had been poured on it.

Karan opened the creaky cabinet door, and there was a cage hidden inside. The things in the cage were long dead.

From a skeletal point of view, this thing has five legs.

From the sixth part of the original work, Chapter 24.

Karan vaguely recognized it based on the appearance described in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

"This is the...skeleton of the Pentapod."

Karan narrowed his eyes slightly, and the cage opened automatically. He used a cutting spell to cut off a small part of the bone and put it in his pocket.

"I just don't know where this five-legged monster came from. After all, Delia Island is already a place that cannot be mapped."

"And from the appearance of this cabinet, it seems that the person who got the five-legged monster didn't have a good way to deal with it. In the end, he could only use the double binding of the cage and the cabinet, pour magic potion on it, and just kill the five-legged monster. The foot monster was killed."

After closing the cabinet door, Karan looked at the cabinet up and down, and an idea suddenly came to his mind.

"Could this be a damaged disappearing cabinet?"

Karan frowned tightly, and he suddenly realized that if this was really a disappearing cabinet, then the origin of this five-legged monster seemed to be explained.

The other Vanishing Cabinet is either on Delia Island, or in the hands of the person who got the Pentapod.

Neither of these two is easy to deal with.

In the dark and empty space, Karan took one last look at the cabinet, then turned and left.

The secrets contained in the Room of Requirement were created by countless people, and he didn't have time to decipher them one by one.

However, before leaving, he still walked around a bit, intending to take another look at the intact disappearing cabinet and the crown.

Karan remembered that among Voldemort's Horcruxes, only the Crown and the Gold Cup did not make any resistance to their own destruction.The original work shall prevail.

This may be because of the influence of the original owner, who did not allow themselves to become evil black magic products, so they were willing to be destroyed.

With this weird thought, Karan stopped in front of the intact disappearing cabinet.

Nothing out of the ordinary.

He glanced aside again pretending to be casual.

But just this glance made his body tense up immediately.

If he remembers correctly...

No, he couldn't have remembered it wrong.

Karan slowly retreated while staring closely at the crown on the wizard's statue.The wand automatically floated into his hand without knowing when, and he held it tightly.

It wasn't until the door to the Room of Requirement was closed again that Karan dared to exhale the depressed breath he had been holding in for a long time.

He leaned against the wall behind him where the door had disappeared, frowning tightly and not letting go.

Although the difference is small,...

The crown has definitely been tampered with.
