369 Morrigan and Morgana, Merlin, Lucius
As early as when he read the news about Abraxas Malfoy's escape from prison in the Daily Prophet, Callan suspected that he had been on the Knight Bus because he suddenly wanted to go to Loch Ness. Loch Ness is home to the world's largest horse-shaped water monster, the Loch Ness Monster, which sounds like a good way to get to the island where Azkaban is located.
Later, while sneaking into the Borgin-Bock antique store, Karan accidentally overheard the conversation between Bock and Borgin. At that time, Bock looked panicked and was taking away a lot of merchandise. Later, he used floo powder and went to Malfoy Manor inexplicably.
This deepened Karan's suspicion of Bock.
Although Callan later asked Mr. Newt to go to Loch Ness again, the final result was that the Loch Ness Monster never left Loch Ness, let alone Mr. Burke.
However, just now, during the conversation between Karan and Hagrid, Hagrid actually said that he failed to find the Loch Ness Monster!
It really left Loch Ness!
In this case, either the water monster had its memory erased by unknown magic, or it deliberately lied!
"But neither of these two points sounds possible."
With the disappearance of the horned water snake again and the enthusiastic voices of the students, Gaspard at the fence calmly analyzed: "The wizard cannot erase the memory of magical animals, and it is even less possible to instigate the Loch Ness Monster to lie. How could it Is it so easy to be obedient?"
"Maybe it's possible if [Morrigan] comes back to life."
Steve guessed boredly: "William said that she is the ancestor of the Scamander family and the ancestor of Isolt Thayer. Our ability to communicate with magical animals is inherited from her. Legend has it that she also has the ability to predict battles. The ability to endure disaster and death is related to fate, and she may be a prophet. But I have never understood the relationship between her and [Morgan Le Fay], that is, [Morgana], their anima Gus is similar, one is a crow and the other is a bird. But Morgana is said to be Merlin's enemy——"
"In some myths, they are usually regarded as the same character." Snape explained: "But it is useless to say this now. Whether it is Morrigan or Morgana, they are both legendary figures. . And Merlin, do you know that he graduated from Slytherin House? He was mentioned in the prefect’s speech when we entered our college. But no matter what, they have been dead for a long time and there is no way they can be resurrected."
Whether it is Morgana or Merlin, they are both wizards from the ancient Greek period, and may even be from the early Dark Ages - the legends are unreliable, and there are very few records related to them.
But Karan suddenly thought of something else.
"Not necessarily." He suddenly said: "Even if there are no Morgana and Merlin, it is not impossible for the wizard to erase the memory of the magical animal, or instruct it to lie - the treasure parchment, the treasure parchment in the hands of the mysterious man . He even found the blood magic that can induce werewolves to transform in advance. As long as that piece of parchment is there, nothing is impossible. Ancient magic is more mysterious and powerful."
Everything is connected in series - it was the mysterious man who instructed Bork to help Abraxas Malfoy escape from prison. This is no different from Callan's previous guess - Voldemort worked under Bork when he was young, and it is natural that he may be targeting him now. , forcing him to join the Death Eaters.
"Then... what should we do?" Steve asked in shock: "Do you need me to write a letter to my dad? Let him check for the Loch Ness Monster again."
"do not!"
"no!"
"Don't do this!"
The three people stopped Steve at the same time. Gespard explained: "This is really too risky. It is the largest horse-shaped water monster in the world. Not many wizards can match it. And even if you find it, it will be useless." , we have no way to restore the memory of the water monster - unless the treasure parchment is in our hands, this is an unknown magic, and ordinary memory spells cannot have the same effect on it."
Karan's reaction was even more straightforward.
"Maybe we don't have to do anything."
He murmured in a low voice and looked up at the three of them: "Do you remember Dobby? As soon as Abraxas Malfoy got out of trouble, he asked Dobby to sneak into my house - he must be doing something for the mysterious man. , the mysterious man ordered Abraxas Malfoy to let Dobby do this."
"And we all already know the purpose of the mysterious man."
It didn't take long for Snape to figure out Kahlan's intentions.
"[Basilisk sheds skin]." He narrowed his eyes and said, "Dobby is looking for the Basilisk to shed its skin - this is exactly what the mysterious man failed to get during the werewolf attack!"
"Perhaps this is true," Gaspard's glasses flashed with light: "You, Snape, and Lily have all been taken to the secret room by mysterious people, but your performance is the most outstanding-killing A large group of basilisks were discovered, which also made the mysterious man suspect that the basilisk molt might be in your place. But you are just a student, so you don’t need to put in much effort, so in the end you just let a house elf act as a thief."
"Then we don't have to worry."
As he spoke, Gaspard pushed up his glasses and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "Only a few people know that the basilisk shed its skin at my parents' place, and an alchemist's home is not that easy to find. Even No need for a reminder - my parents were well prepared and wouldn't let anyone find them."
"Not even I can."
"Huh?" Karan blinked. Are Gesper's parents too cautious?
"But...what happened to Lucius?"
Steve asked hesitantly: "Can't he also order Dobby? Is the purpose of his coming to Hogwarts also to shed the basilisk's skin?"
No one can answer this question. They don't know what Principal Dumbledore, who is in charge of recruitment, thinks. Even Voldemort's purpose of obtaining the basilisk's skin cannot be determined - just for another Marauder's Map?
After the class ended, the students walked towards the castle. It wasn't until Saoirse mentioned a few people that they realized - Cassandra the Prophet and Sybil had never come out of the Forbidden Forest. Where did they go?
This became another doubt in the minds of several people, but they soon lost their mind to continue thinking about it.
The next class was Defense Against the Dark Arts, Lucius Malfoy's class.
"Wish you guys good luck."
Snape said as he separated from the three of them. Slytherin and Hufflepuff had different classes, and he hurried to Professor Slughorn's Potions class.
"We need some good luck." Steve muttered quietly, with a look of reluctance on his face.
However, there were more people than he was unwilling to do - Gryffindor students entered the classroom one after another, and the expressions on everyone's faces were more exciting than Steve's - especially Sirius, who took out his textbook The voice was particularly loud, and James was slightly better than him, but his face was also gloomy and ugly, and even the hair on the back of his head stood up unruly again, and he couldn't hold it down with hair oil.
Just this morning, they had just been deducted a full twenty points by Lucius Malfoy, and no one in Gryffindor liked a guy like Lucius - he was not only a Slater Lin is the son of an Azkaban escapee. No one wants Lucius to get out of Hogwarts more than they do!
Before Lucius came to the classroom, Sirius said disdainfully while taking out the parchment: "What can he teach us? How to become a Death Eater quickly?"
"Keep your voice down." Remus reminded hurriedly: "How can you talk about this kind of thing everywhere?"
"What can't be done?" It was an angry James who retorted: "The Malfoy family are all pure-blood supremacists, there is no need to hide it. And Abraxas Malfoy, do you think Can he escape Azkaban on his own?"
The door to the classroom was suddenly pushed open, and a livid-faced Lucius strode in. His appearance had never been so terrifying. Even his golden hair was full of anger. It was obvious that he heard James Loud words.
Peter lowered his head in fear, but James and Sirius looked at him without fear, and Remus sighed softly.
"Very good." Lucius stared at the two men fiercely, and repeated in a low voice through gritted teeth: "Very well."
"Another twenty points from Gryffindor - if that's what you want."
James and Sirius were immediately furious. They didn't even care about Lucius's status as a professor, and almost stood up to confront him, but Remus had already caught them with his quick eyes and hands, preventing them from really Doing something like this would offend the professor.
"Now, put away your textbooks."
Lucius ignored the two of them, but everyone could see that he was still in a bad mood, and he didn't even bother to say any more nonsense to the students: "Today is a practical class, all come with me."
He didn't even plan to wait for the students to pack their schoolbags. After saying this, he left the classroom. The students had no choice but to hurriedly grab their textbooks and schoolbags and chase them out, continuing to pack on the way.
"Perhaps someone should give you a warning."
Lily, who was passing by James and Sirius, stopped and spoke for the first time on her own initiative, grabbing a pile of parchment and textbooks in her hands, but her tone was not much better: "No one in this classroom likes Lucius..." Malfoy, but no one would be stupid enough to provoke him twice in a row!"
"That's a full forty points!"
Sirius just snorted indifferently in response to Lily's accusation, but James's expression was different. He was embarrassed and angry, and finally shouted angrily: "You don't need to worry about us! Lost points I'll win again at Quidditch!"
After shouting these words, James regretted it - Lily's eyes suddenly became extremely cold, but he still held on and did not feel discouraged until Lily turned around and left before suddenly becoming decadent.
"What stupid thing did you do just now?" Sirius glanced at him and asked: "No matter what, you will not vent your anger on a girl, and didn't you say it before? That's Lily."
"I don't know, man." James lowered his head and suddenly lost all his strength: "I don't know why I got angry suddenly. I just feel very embarrassed. I was very embarrassed just now, and now I feel even more embarrassed." It's embarrassing - by the way, Remus, thank you for catching me and Sirius before, otherwise we would -"
"Nothing." Remus's attitude suddenly became inexplicably cold, and he left the classroom before James could finish his words.
"What's wrong with him?" James asked doubtfully: "It's just the beginning of school, it's not like -"
He almost said "Full Moon", but suddenly remembered that even during the Full Moon, Remus's mood never became this bad.
Peter shook his head in confusion. Sirius stared at Remus's back for a while, then turned around and said, "Don't think so much, just leave quickly."
The Hufflepuff trio left the classroom early. They came to the empty corridor and saw an angry Lily walking towards them from a distance.
"It's so scary." Steve muttered softly, and he silently moved out of the way, but Lily did not go directly through, but walked side by side with them.
"It really pisses me off." She snorted coldly. Although they didn't know what happened, the three of them silently helped her pack her schoolbag. Steve hit when he saw the parchment with scratches. With a shiver, he pretended not to see anything and quickly stuffed the pile of parchment into his school bag.
Remus, who had just walked out of the classroom behind him, saw four figures walking side by side in front of him. He stopped subconsciously, pursed his lips tightly, and held the schoolbag in his hand again and again until the dazzling red hair disappeared. At the corner, I continued to walk forward with my head lowered, but my heart suddenly became empty.
Lucius Malfoy, who was walking at the front, still had no intention of waiting for the students. He walked so fast that the students had to jog to keep up.
After rounding the corner, Peeves, the school's favorite prankster, suddenly appeared in the corridor. He was hanging head down in the air and was pouring water on the floor to make passers-by fall and slip.
When Lucius saw Peeves, Peeves also happened to notice Lucius - his eyes narrowed maliciously, obviously thinking of making up some nasty song.
"Aha, Lucius," Peeves laughed: "The guy who disappeared for a year returned to Hogwarts and became a professor in the school. The missing guy became a professor. The missing guy He became a professor, but the professor has a father who is a fugitive, a fugitive from Azkaban, a fugitive from Azkaban!"
"Shut up, Peeves!"
Lucius said fiercely, but it had no effect at all. After seeing Lucius being angry, Peeves became more energetic. He kept talking about "fugitive and fugitive", and the students in the classroom gradually gathered. Behind Lucius, many people had expressions of gloating on their faces - Lucius's face became more and more ugly, the veins on his forehead popped out, and he became more ferocious at the same time.
He suddenly raised his wand, pointed it at Peeves and said: "Drill——"
"Peves."
Another voice suddenly interspersed, and a white ghost suddenly floated out from the wall. He was wearing chains, and his witch robe was stained with blood stains - it was the ghost Barrow of Slytherin College.
As soon as Peeves saw Barrow, he immediately became flattering and flattering: "Master Barrow——"
"Don't disturb Professor Malfoy's class." Bloody Barrow ordered: "Now, get out of here, Peeves."
After Peeves turned around and left as if to please, Barrow looked at Lucius with his dull eyes and nodded slightly to him.
"Welcome back," he said.
Lucius was still staring in the direction Peeves left, his cheeks twitching slightly, and the anger in his heart had not completely subsided.
After turning his head and looking at Barrow, he didn't make any expression, but said coldly: "Continue to follow me."
The students followed him silently, and the four of Karan exchanged glances silently. They all understood what the other was thinking at this time.
Drill?
Is it a heart-breaking thing?
