426 The Origin of Dementors, Looking for William

426 The Origin of Dementors, Looking for William

The dementor stayed quietly inside the curtain. It was in a coma and didn't move at all.

Unable to move, Callan was moved by Snape to the wall so that he could sit up.At the same time, Snape also heard Callan keep saying: "When someone is in the Room of Requirement, the intrusion of outsiders will cause an earthquake... I have to remember this."

Snape didn't care about the Room of Requirement or the earthquake caused by the break-in.

He sat next to Karan in the same posture, looking at Lily and Ariana who were whispering something.

But his eyes were focused more on Ariana.

"O silent one..."

Snape sighed in a low voice, his tone full of confusion: "How do you know an Obscurus? - To be honest, even if you tell me now that you are also an Obscurus, I probably won't know it. So surprised.”

"It's still early." Callan's answer startled Snape. After staring for a while, Snape realized that Callan was joking with him.

"That's not funny," Snape muttered.

But Karan smiled happily: "To be honest, I really didn't expect that you could successfully summon the patron saint in such a critical moment just now, and even two of you did it."

This is an extremely difficult spell, and Lily and Snape have never succeeded in it in previous classes.

Apart from himself, the only successful person Karan knows is Harry in the future. He also successfully summoned a physical Patronus in the third grade... Speaking of which, will Harry's Patronus talent be used? Could it be inherited from Lily?

Just when Karan was thinking wildly, Snape said as if to vent his anger: "Cats... and poisonous snakes."

He was referring to the appearance of Lily and his patron saint.

Karan looked at him curiously: "The poisonous snake came out of the hole because of the spell you created?"

Snape was silent for a while, and then he nodded: "I originally planned to use this spell to punish that damn Muggle man...but it's no longer needed now."

Snape really didn't need it.He had already arrived in Hogsmeade with his mother, and there was no need to return to a place like Spider-End Alley.Maybe he would never see that man again.

While the two were chatting, Karan gradually regained his mobility and was finally able to stand up again.

After seeing this, Lily and Ariana stopped chatting. They walked over hand in hand. The relationship between the two seemed much closer, and everyone looked very happy.

"What did you talk about?" Karan asked curiously.

Lily smiled mysteriously: "It's a secret."

Then Ariana said: "Why didn't you come to me for help? If I hadn't happened to come to Hogwarts, you would have been really miserable. I didn't expect you to be so careless, Karan."

Karan sighed helplessly. He didn't expect that the Dementor could escape successfully.

But the next second he showed the same mysterious smile: "Fortunately, the plan was successful."

Just when Karan touched the Dementor's hood with his silvery palm, he seemed to have passed through some invisible barrier, and in an instant he was removed from the Dementor's mind (if it had one) words) and felt many emotions.

Dementors have no eyes or vision. The way they sense the presence of others is through emotions.

These emotions then painted a picture in Karan's mind.

There is a scene of Moody escorting werewolf criminals, densely packed with more dementors... and Abraxas Malfoy in the cell!

"Is this the memory of a dementor? Have you seen the memory of a dementor?" Snape asked in surprise: "There are countless dementors - Azkaban seems to be the only one that fits this scenario. Already..."

Karan nodded vigorously. He turned to look at the Dementor behind the curtain: "And it is very likely that it is the Dementor guarding Abraxas!"

At this time, Lily asked with confusion: "But I remember you said that Lucius is extremely concerned about this dementor... What does this mean?"

She really couldn't understand why Lucius was so concerned about a dementor that had imprisoned her father.

Karan thought for a moment.

"Perhaps this just shows that our previous guesses were not all correct."

He looked at several people and said: "Lucius didn't know that his father would escape from Azkaban, nor did he know how Abraxas did it."

"That's why Lucius wants to find out the reason!"

-------

Originally, Callan secretly came to the Room of Requirement just to find out whether there was a connection between Abraxas and the God of Death. Unexpectedly, he accidentally learned the reason why Lucius valued Dementors.

Coupled with Lucius' sudden gaffe in front of Peeves (Chapter 369) - at that time, Peeves was a "fugitive from justice" and kept talking about it, which angered Lucius and made him angry. He almost cast the Cruciatus Curse.

From this point of view, Karan's current guess is correct - the reason why Lucius values ​​this Dementor so much is actually because he values ​​his father. In order to find out how Abraxas escaped from Abraxas, Of Zikaban.

This is almost the same as Callan's impression of Lucius - he is a Malfoy who attaches great importance to family ties. Maybe the reason why he is willing to come to Hogwarts is because of his father.

Moreover, Ted had personally told several people that the reason why he no longer complained about Lucius being a professor was because Lucius cast the Patronus Charm in front of him in the principal's office (Chapter 370) ——This is a spell that only the white wizard can successfully cast. The black wizard cannot do it no matter what.

The only reason Lucius can do this is because of family affection - because of his [love] for his father...

----------

As time went by, the weather gradually became much warmer, and the accumulated ice and snow began to melt. The Quidditch teams of various colleges also resumed training. Almost every day, you can see these team members rushing back from the field covered in mud. When they arrived at the castle, Filch stared fiercely at the footprints left behind them, looking for every opportunity to cause trouble for them.

After the experience in the Room of Requirement, Callan, Lily, and Snape inevitably had some changes in their eyes when they looked at Lucius in class. Fortunately, Lily and Snape finally learned how to summon the Patronus, Callan. They were also able to cast a shapeless silver mist, which prevented them from being criticized by Lucius.

And they can also see that Lucius has been paying less and less attention to class recently, and it seems that something is bothering him.

"What else could it be?"

In the suitcase in the Hufflepuff dormitory, Steve took out the raw steak stolen from the kitchen and said carelessly: "Don't you all understand it? It must be because of Abraxas Malfoy , Lucius is absent-minded, maybe because he knows the other party’s news.”

"But what news can he know?" Karan leaned against the door frame, hugging his shoulders and murmuring to himself: "Could it be that Principal Dumbledore told him?"

In Callan's guess, Dumbledore must have known Lucius's purpose, otherwise he would not have agreed to let Lucius return to Hogwarts to take up the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

It's a pity that Dumbledore never tells Ariana about work matters, otherwise it would be much easier, he only needs to ask Ariana.

"I don't know that."

Steve clapped his hands and stood up. He looked at Karan and asked, "When will we set off?"

During this time, William returned to the suitcase less and less often.Although he was not familiar with him, Steve couldn't help but worry about the other person's situation - after all, he vaguely knew that William's identity seemed to be very important in Ilvermorny Magic School, and he would be in trouble if something went wrong.

So he found Karan and another helper - Wolf.

Wolf's nose is very sensitive and can help Steve search for William's location.

"Let's go now."

Karan said as he stretched hard.

The two walked out together, Steve closed the suitcase but didn't close it tightly - he would carry the suitcase around in a while, while Wolf stayed inside to smell the smell and help search for traces of William. He can also quietly tell Steve where to go through the gaps.

Karan took out the invisibility cloak from his pocket and saw Steve staring in another direction in the dormitory - the magic tent.

"Why did Gosper have to exert force for so long this time?"

Steve said worriedly.

This is also the doubt in Karan's mind - Gaspard often stayed in the magic tent during this period, and sometimes even refused to come out during bedtime. The thick lenses were gradually unable to block the dark circles under his eyes. .

"What Muggle item is he studying? Could it really be a weapon..."

Karan and Steve looked at each other silently. Neither of them had any intention of walking into the magic tent to see what Gaspard was doing - neither of them had forgotten the last experience - seeing it with their own eyes. Another Guspard.

Moreover, the jumping cauldron turned into a time turner is in the hands of Gaspard, and God knows how many Gaspards are in it.

The two of them couldn't help but shudder when they thought about so many glasses glowing at the same time.

"Let's go!"

Steve shouted into the magic tent.

As always, a palm stretched out from the tent door and shook it gently at the two of them - this was Gespard's reply.

On the way out of the dormitory, Karan and Steve kept arguing about whether it was the palm of Gaspard in the normal timeline.

In the end, they all agreed that there was no way someone like Gaspard could waste time saying hello. Even that palm might have been specially made to deal with the two of them.

"so......"

After ending the argument, Karan looked around at the sparsely populated corridor and asked, "Which direction should we go?"

Steve leaned his ear against the opening of the suitcase, nodded blankly, and then suddenly pointed in a direction: "Go this way."

That's the entrance to the basement of Hogwarts Castle.

From this point of view, William is not on the first floor of the castle, so he is not in the kitchen.

"Doesn't he need dinner?"

Steve asked with some confusion.

The current time was just when the students had just finished enjoying dinner, and Steve also deliberately chose this time. He originally thought he would find William in the kitchen.

Callan thought about William's proficiency with bow and arrow.

"He must have gone hunting."

Even Karan himself found the idea hilarious.

But soon, Karan stopped laughing.

The two walked to the door of the auditorium on the first floor. Karan stared directly in the direction Steve was pointing. He turned his head and looked around, and even pulled the suitcase twice, as if he wanted to personally inquire about what was inside. Wolf.

"What do you want to do?" Steve quickly covered the suitcase, and Wolf was quietly observing the two of them through the gap, his blue eyes blinking twice in confusion.

"Are you sure it's this direction?"

Karan asked uncertainly. He took another look at the location of the castle gate: "William is outside the castle? Could it really be the Forbidden Forest?"

Steve's answer was very confident: "Don't worry, Wolf can't make mistakes."

Karan looked at Steve with strange eyes - had he forgotten how dangerous it was in the Forbidden Forest?

In the end, the two of them quietly left the castle.

On the empty playground, the direction pointed by Wolf looked much clearer.

It is the dark Forbidden Forest.

Karan couldn't help but murmured in a low voice: "Did William go to find the horned water snake... Could he really go hunting? What kind of prey can there be in the Forbidden Forest? Centaur What?"

This idea startled Steve, and he urged anxiously: "Then we have to find William quickly!"

Karan thinks the same way - who knows what amazing things William Pukechi, who has lived for hundreds of years, will do. He also grew up in the forest. In his knowledge, the forest I'm afraid there is no animal that cannot be hunted.

At a glance, they are all prey.

And since Sybil's third eye was sealed, Karan has never been to the Forbidden Forest, let alone whether the centaurs have lost any members of their clan.

The two ran under the invisibility cloak. The grass after the rain was full of mud, and a lot of mud splashed on them. Fortunately, Karan had been paying attention to the condition of the invisibility cloak and kept using wandless magic to protect the invisibility. Clothes, coupled with the dark sky, prevented them from being discovered by Hagrid who just came out of the wooden house. Only Yaya suddenly called out twice.

"It should be fine now." Steve whispered.

At this time, they were farther away, and Yaya no longer paid attention to the direction of the two of them.

They soon entered the path in the Forbidden Forest, and then followed Wolf's prompts to travel in a direction they had never traveled before.

"stop."

In the dense bushes, Karan suddenly reached out and grabbed Steve.

Steve looked at Karan with confusion and nervousness. He saw Karan stretching out a palm and gently tossing the tall grass in front of the two of them.

Just opposite them, something seemed to be moving, causing a rustling sound.

The doubts in Steve's heart disappeared, and he suddenly became nervous - who knew what kind of ghost they would encounter in the Forbidden Forest, let alone another out-of-control female ghost.

Finally, Karan pushed aside the grass bit by bit, and a face that was equally nervous and scared suddenly emerged from it - Karan himself didn't understand how he saw such rich expressions on this face.

Because the other party is not a wizard.

But a little lion.
