Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 328 Wolfsbane Potion

The spell hit the stag accurately, and Sirius behind him hurriedly changed back to his human form. He said anxiously: "Don't do it, Harry, he is James, your father!"

"What?!"

Harry stood there dumbfounded. He looked at the stag in front of him in disbelief. The bottle of fire in his hand fell to the floor weakly, and the purpose of the spell given to him by Professor Heimer rang in his heart——

Can kill patron saints and wizards who become patron saints.

He. He had just killed his father with his own hands.

At this moment, the magic array at the bottom of the flame bottle emitted a burst of dark shimmer, and it became more intense in the blink of an eye, forming an extremely rich paint-like substance.

Large clouds of black smoke filled the whole room. Harry was trying to put the bottle back into his witch robe in a hurry. He yelled with all his strength: "Run! Stay away from these things, they will kill you."

Those who were killed, hurry up and leave!"

A big hand stretched out in front of Harry, and James, who had also returned to his human form, picked up the fire bottle on the floor. He stared at the magic circle at the bottom carefully, and after looking at it for a while, he asked: "This is what Toby taught you."

Do you think you can use this method to kill the patron saint?"

Harry looked stupidly at "Gjeon" who was surrounded by black mist.

"Why is nothing wrong with you?"

"Because, this magic circle has nothing to do with killing the patron saint."

James solemnly said: "It will only summon the dead patron saint and the wizard who once owned it."

Just after James said these words, all the smoke gathered together, fell from the ceiling, fell, and landed on the bed in front of the three people.

Something jumped out of it.

Al appeared in front of them with a diagonal walking posture. He repeatedly made the motion of throwing things, wondering why the beans suddenly disappeared.

When he lazily opened his eyes and saw the three people in the room who looked like they were facing an enemy, Al was immediately startled.

It blinked, looked back and forth at the three of them, and suddenly jumped up from the bed, showing a cold smile that didn't look threatening at all.

"Yeah yeah yeah--"

[I caught you, hahaha - Toby, come on - eh, Toby?]

【Toby? Where have you been, Toby?】

Fortunately, none of the three people in the room were wearing anti-monster glasses. They had no idea what Al was yelling in panic, but completely regarded it as an imminent threat to Toby.

"Gjeon" promptly stopped Sirius' attempt to subdue Al. He said in a sincere tone: "I have no malice, but there are some things that are inconvenient for you to know - you should be able to understand what I said, right?"

Bar?"

Harry subconsciously reminded: "Mr. Al can indeed understand the wizard's language, it is not an ordinary sniffer."

At this time, Al finally discovered that Toby did not come with him.

This is not good

Although it is a bit unusual, it is difficult to resist the joint attack of James and Sirius at this time. After all, it does not even have a wand in its hand - eh? Harry is holding his own wand.

As an archaeologist's assistant, Al has encountered this kind of critical moment more than once, and he quickly planned everything.

"ah."

Al nodded in a deep tone, taking it as an answer to "Gjeon"'s question.

Harry felt like he was hallucinating before his eyes. He almost thought that Mr. Al was going to push his hair back on his head - then he remembered that Mr. Al's hair was not that long, only a thin layer of down.

"This will make things much easier to handle." "Gjeon" continued: "I don't want to meet Toby at this time, let alone cause extra trouble - yes,"

After seeing Al's questioning gaze, "Gjeon" shook his head and said, "I took away his magic ball, but I had to do it. I will need it later, so today

Too late—I have to destroy it with my own hands."

"Ah?!" Al screamed in fright at James' words. What on earth was this man thinking?

"Neither you nor Toby understand." "Gjeon" said in a serious tone: "Since the moment you owned this creation, you have been cursed - I am not just referring to the Loch Ness ruins.

The curse that brings you hope of revenge, there is another person who is always paying attention to you. He has been planning this for a long time, much longer than anyone can imagine, and the other person's purpose includes magic balls and magic.

The owners of the ball—that is, you and Toby."

"Yes,"

Facing the astonished Al, "Gjeon" quickly explained: "I know the connection between you and Toby. It must be more than just a patron saint, right? He poured part of his soul into you.

, so that you don’t seem so full of threats. I can only describe you in this way, because Lily told me that Toby’s patron saint is not so small, and you are definitely not the true appearance of his patron saint.”

"That person forced me to learn some unimaginable magic and let me know how far magic can go, including annihilating one's own humanity. I think Toby's emotional investment in you is probably a good thing, because he put

The devil left it to his own evil, a devil from whom he can never escape torment.”

"That man knows the devil, very well, because he once admitted it to me personally - he even took the initiative to turn himself into a devil, which is no different from what Toby did."

"Don't you understand yet?"

Looking at the confused Al, "Gjeon" said anxiously: "Toby doesn't understand at all. He has been being used by that person, so I don't dare to tell Toby the reason for taking the magic ball, let alone

Too much exposure to Toby.”

"Of course, that person knew about this, because it was he who ordered me to do this, but I am destined not to continue to obey his orders. Just tonight, I will end it all."

At this moment, Al seemed to be ignoring them and quickly rummaged for something in his belly pocket.

Sirius immediately raised his wand warily: "I don't understand what you are explaining to a sniffer-"

"No." James stopped him again and said: "I have explained it clearly to you a long time ago. The patron saint can even be regarded as the soul of a wizard. Al deserves our attention, and it is precisely because of this that I can continue to stand on

I'm here to meet you, even though I'm different now."

Harry understood what he said.

"You mean-" He turned around in shock and asked, "You really grew like this? Didn't you use transformation and Polyjuice Potion?"

James shook his head regretfully.

"After all, the Patron Saint cannot be regarded as the entire soul of the wizard. At most, it can only be regarded as a small part. This has changed my appearance a lot. It is precisely because of this that I dare to take the risk to come to Huo

Gwartz without having to worry about anyone finding out."

"From now on, this will be the only body I have left. I don't know how that person did it, but I know that Toby has some skeletons that can be restored to human form. That is also unusual, and it is also known as

The man searched for a long time, but the other party never succeeded. He seemed to be cursed and could never find the hiding place of two of the bones, except for the last one - but that also took a lot of effort on his part.

He found it, but he didn't dare to get it himself, so he could only ask Grindelwald to do it in a roundabout way."

"Perhaps you don't know that Grindelwald was also used by that person, and he didn't know anything about it."

The direction of development of things became more and more bizarre, and Harry couldn't help but curiously asked: "Who is that person?"

James sighed and said: "I don't know, he never appeared as a wizard, he always met me as a devil. I once suspected that this was the sequelae of him becoming a devil, until later

I saw Toby using the same trick with my own eyes and realized that all this was just because the other party was extremely cautious and did not want to show his true appearance in front of anyone."

"But it's not like there's no way to deal with him."

James' tone revived: "I just told you that the other party did not dare to approach the third skeleton, so they could only use the unknowing Greenwald to do it - now I have the third skeleton."

His true identity is Ignotus Peverell, the ancestor of our family."

"As long as we understand the message our ancestors left us, we will have a chance to defeat him completely and reunite our family."

At this time, Al finally dug out what was in his belly pocket—a pair of anti-monster glasses.

It looked back and forth at the three of them, first it directly passed over Sirius, who looked unkind, and then after weighing it repeatedly, it waved to Harry.

"Mr. Al probably wants to communicate with us." Harry quickly understood Al's meaning. He looked back at "Gejen" at a loss, and walked over after the other party nodded to him.

.

Al gave him a very dissatisfied look, which made Harry's face immediately turn red with shame.

He put on his anti-monster glasses, but because of his short-sightedness, he had to squint his eyes to look at the top of Al's head, where lines of writing were floating on it.

Harry translated to the two people behind him: "Mr. Al asked you. Why did you destroy the magic ball? Just because it is made of brain - what, brain? The magic ball is made of brain?! Whose brain

, from a wizard?!"

"A wizard's brain indeed."

James calmly explained behind him: "But the brains were deliberately selected - as a symbol of revenge, and also to retaliate against the threats that the residents had encountered and turned into demons. They used the brains of their enemies to make

Magic Ball, vowing to make all pure-blood wizards die in the magic made by their ancestors."

Another bombshell news, Al even began to doubt who the archaeologist was.

But I didn’t expect the residents of Loch Ness City to be like this. Should I say it’s awesome? You torture my soul, and I will completely destroy your brain and make it into a magic item to take revenge on you?

It was truly a blood-debt war.

Harry couldn't understand why James said these words at all. He heard his father continue to say behind him: "You can imagine what kind of abilities this magic ball has. Once it is obtained by that person, it may give him the ability."

The ability to eliminate wizards based on bloodline, so I absolutely cannot let him get the magic ball - no one can get it, this shouldn't exist at all, it's best to destroy it."

New words appeared on Al's head.

"Mr. Al asked again, apart from destroying the magic ball, what is your purpose tonight? Why do you have to choose today to do it? Is it because you know the God of Death?"

Harry was completely stunned.

grim Reaper?

Is it the Grim Reaper he imagined?

"That's why." James admitted: "The full moon has an inexplicable connection with the God of Death. It was born on a full moon night. You and Toby should also know this."

"That's why I chose to take action tonight, because as far as I know - my ancestor Ignotus also tried to summon the God of Death during the full moon. This is the only way I can think of to deal with that person -

—Use the power of Death—Why are you looking at me like this?”

Al was staring at James like he was looking at an idiot, and he let out a lazily "Yeah".

"Because no one can take advantage of Death." Harry said fearfully: "What's more, your soul is incomplete, which will not arouse Death's interest in trading with you. In the end, I will only pay the price. I will pay the price."

Cost? What does that mean?”

[That’s what I mean.] Al inadvertently glanced at Harry’s face and said: [Do you still remember the inspection you did before the Christmas vacation? That was because you accidentally summoned the God of Death, of course.

, This is also the reason why Toby is doing things in the Shrieking Shack, otherwise you wouldn’t be able to accomplish this so easily.】

[In short, Toby worked hard to save the three of you that night so that you would not be noticed by Death. And the most important thing is that Toby has already made two deals with Death, so he knows very well how to deal with Death.

Dealing with Death.】

[Toby was just a child when he first came into contact with Death, and his soul was still intact at that time. But it was different the second time. Do you think he was unwilling to separate the devil? Do you think he wanted to undergo torture?

?He just had to do this, he had no choice.]

[Now, your father's condition is worse than Toby, who has made two transactions, and his soul is full of holes. Don't think I don't know what he wants to do, it's just a trick to pretend to be the god of death.

, Toby has successfully tried twice. But you are different. Harry, James doesn't have this ability anymore. He wants to take Ignotus's bones through me, so he talks to me carefully, and then

I will use you again, turn you into a human or a ghost, and then bring back your mother who is not complete yet.】

[It's not a family reunion, but a ghost family reunion, Harry. Your father has gone completely crazy, he just wants to use you. Look at Toby, he is the one who really cares about you.

Do you think Guardian Death was used to kill your father? But now, you are all alive and well.】

[Toby would never take advantage of his students, and he has always done so.]

[Only he can protect you. Now, give me your wand, Harry. It will be too late. I will save you. As for your father, I believe Toby can cure him. 】

Lines of text almost as long as a paper appeared above Al's head, but Harry quickly discovered how different the pair of glasses he was wearing was. He didn't even need to read each word, it almost didn't take long for them to come to him automatically.

Get into your own mind.

It was like the Sorting Hat talking to him.

At the same time, James frowned after hearing Harry's translation and said: "Use? No, you don't understand. My ancestor is different from the other two people. He is a person who has defeated death and does not need any

People pay the price - Harry, what are you doing?"

Harry's heart was wavering. This feeling became deeper and deeper in a short period of time. He felt more and more that Mr. Al in front of him was amiable, while the two people behind him seemed to have turned into the same dementors.

The monster was screaming and rushing toward him.

Unconsciously, Harry raised his hand and handed the wand to Al.

"ah."

Al said leisurely, and he immediately grabbed the wand and waved it twice quickly.

[Hollywood, right? Suitable for those who advocate spiritual pursuits, I like spiritual pursuits.]

The dazzling fluorescence bloomed, making people unable to open their eyes.

James shouted while blocking the silver light: "Harry, come back quickly, Harry!"

"I told you before!" Sirius waved his wand forward fiercely and said, "Don't believe anything about Toby Highmore, let alone his - is this the Niffler just now?"

His voice was lowered, and he watched in disbelief as the silver light faded into rich darkness, making the atmosphere so depressing that it made people breathless.

When the black smoke dissipated, a black animal larger than the three of them combined appeared in front of them, crushing the wooden legs of the bed.

The dragon-like face let out a gentle breath, and the warm feeling made the hairs on the back of Harry's neck stand up. He stared in stunned silence as the giant creature in front of him waved its broad, bat-like wings, causing a roar of wind in the room.

Array.

Miraculously, the anti-monster glasses are still working.

【It's surprising, right?】

The monster lowered its head and stared directly at Harry's pale face with its pupil-less white eyes. It let out a sharp scream from its throat.

[Yeah, who would have thought that I would turn out to be a Thestral? 】

[Symbol of Death It seems that you have all seen death with your own eyes]

【I like the feeling of being watched.】
