From Kamal Taj to Hogwarts

Xiwen slept until the sun was high in the sky and then woke up.

After waking up, a feeling of hunger came from his empty stomach, so Xiwen quietly sneaked to the restaurant to find some food.

When he arrived at the restaurant, Xiven was surprised to find that Sandrine had already gotten up before him and arranged for the house elves to prepare a sumptuous lunch.

"Let's have a meal first. After dinner, be sure to show me your Animagus transformation." Sandrine said happily. "Speaking of which, the thirteen-year-old Animagus has already achieved a breakthrough.

Has the youngest Animagus in the wizarding world recorded his transformation?”

"It seems...it's really like this." Xiwen suddenly realized that he had just celebrated his thirteenth birthday last month. Animagus at this age was indeed a bit shocking in the magical world.

Of course, on his birthday last month, Xiwen was so obsessed with practicing Animagus that he completely forgot about celebrating his birthday. Even Sandrine’s birthday card was only discovered the next day...

Xiwen glanced at Sandrine guiltily and found that she didn't care that he forgot to reply to her birthday card, so he began to enjoy the sumptuous lunch with peace of mind.

After finishing the meal, Sandrine couldn't wait to drag Sivan to the courtyard where the snow had been cleared away, and asked him to show her the Animagus transformation.

Xiwen happened to want to try out his transformation one more time and there was nothing wrong with it, so it was natural.

Standing in the middle of the yard, Xiwen began to silently imagine his transformed form according to the process. Immediately, his body shape changed drastically and turned into a small blue-purple snake with wings and a beak.

Sandrine circled around the little snake, marveling at it.

"The scales of this snake are very beautiful, worthy of my son's status!" She nodded with satisfaction, and then asked curiously. "So can your wings be used for flying?"

Xiven heard Sandrine's question through the vision and hearing of birds, and couldn't help but sigh that the witches from Slytherin really weren't as afraid of snakes as others.

In order to answer Sandrine's question, Sivan flapped his wings and at the same time activated the power of the Meredigos Blood Curse in his blood. He successfully flew up from the ground and circled around her in the air, vividly giving Sandrine

Delin demonstrates her ability to fly.

Sandrine was very satisfied with this, so she gave Sivan a big Christmas gift after he returned to his human form.

"Merry Christmas, son!" she smiled happily.

Xiwen opened the gift with the same smile and saw a brand new dress inside!

…

After showing Sandrine the Animagus transformation, Sivan came to the Christmas tree outside his room, ready to take a look at the gifts given by other friends.

However, as soon as he arrived outside the door, the corners of Xiwen's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

It turned out that the gifts under the Christmas tree had piled up into a hill, and Xiwen suspected that he might not be able to finish opening them until midnight...

As for the reason for the large number of gifts, it may be because Xiwen is now considered a famous figure in Hogwarts. He is not only the number one in the entire grade, but also a pure-blooded member of the Twenty-Eight Saint Clan, so even if

Many classmates who are not very familiar with him will also choose to give him some gifts.

Xiwen had nothing to say about this situation, so he could only give each of those people a pack of bulk-purchased candies as a very perfunctory gift in return.

Similar to last Christmas, the Christmas gifts given to him by others were as consistent as ever. Most of them were various books of different types, as if they thought Xiwen's only hobby was reading...

Xiwen helplessly looked at the large number of flat rectangular packaging bags, and had no choice but to skip most of the ones he was not very interested in, and just casually opened the flat rectangular packaging of a few close friends.

The packages from Abraxas and Mobley were still new hardcover books on the market. They were of little use and their only advantage was that they were more expensive. Although the books sent by Gomez were not as valuable as the two of them, they were still the same. It's more practical than last year.

Miranda's gift was also in a flat rectangular package, containing the next improved version of the "Book of Spells". This gift immediately made Sivan's boring mood happy.

As for Elsiona, who had dropped out of school and returned home for blood curse relief treatment, her gift to Xiwen was a thick letter in which she described in detail the blood curse relief treatments she had done at home. Treatment experience and feelings.

From her letter, Xiwen fully understood that blood curse symptoms could not be relieved by simple treatment.

The blood curse is a deep-rooted curse that remains in the blood of wizards. The blood curse passed down from the Greengrass family is known as the "curse of death" because of its strong adhesion and hereditary power. It has been accompanied by the magic power of wizards since childhood. Natural growth continues to erode the magic in their blood.

In order to alleviate such symptoms originating from blood, wizards who have inherited the blood curse often need to learn a kind of blood magic specifically to enhance the ability to resist the erosion of the blood curse by enhancing the magic power in the blood.

At the same time, the bearer of the blood curse will also be restricted from using various types of magic during the treatment process.

Because blood curses are often resisted by the wizard's own magic power in daily life. Therefore, if there is a phenomenon such as magic overdraft that may weaken the magic power in the body, it is likely that the magic power will lose its defensive ability against the blood curse, resulting in The blood curse broke out into a large-scale invasion.

Sivan slowly frowned as he read Elsiona's letter. He thought of the Meredigos blood curse that he had successfully tamed.

Dumbledore said before that the process of Sivan taming the blood curse of Meredigos is not universal. After all, he encountered too many coincidences. These extremely coincidental conditions are indeed rare. .

But he also said that this rare blood curse taming method can at least be used as a reference, and maybe one day it will be possible to promote it.

Xiwen felt the power of the blood curse hidden in his bloodline and believed that it was not just a simple curse, but could also be regarded as a unique magical power. After getting rid of the corrosiveness of the blood curse, , when the carrier wants to borrow its power, he can activate it at any time.

What's more, Xiwen felt that this kind of power was vaguely more efficient than the use of magic power.

For example, Xiven just performed the fusion of Animagus and Meredigo into human body transformation.

When he first transformed, he wanted to use magic power alone to transform his body. However, when he used magic power alone, he could only transform into an ordinary small animal. There was no trace of magic power in this transformed animal.

, it is even difficult to flap its wings to fly.

And when Xiwen used the power of the blood curse, he could perfectly control the changes around him.

This kind of manipulation is not only aimed at mastering the deformation of the human body. Xiwen has a strong feeling that if he can learn to better control the power of the blood curse, he can even perform operations such as partial deformation of the body - that is, maintaining the main body's shape.

The human form remains unchanged, only part of the body is transformed into animal form.

This kind of partial deformation can easily bring more maneuverability to Xiwen, whether in life or in battle - for example, by transforming a pair of wings alone, he can fly at any time when he wants to fly.

It’s even more convenient than using flying alchemy products; or forming a layer of scales on the skin alone can block other people’s attacks in critical moments; or simply transforming the snake’s venom glands to secrete the poison quietly.

Those enemies have one hand...

Since the blood curse of Meredigos can be tamed, can the blood curse of the Greengrass family also be tamed and utilized? Will the powerful blood curse known as the "Curse of Death" be even more powerful?

?

Xiwen thought about it for a while, but after all, he still knew too little about Elsiona's family, so he couldn't find any clues.

However, he still wrote a reply to Elsiona, selectively telling her something about taming the blood curse, and urging her to cooperate with the relief treatment. There must be a solution to the blood curse in the future.

After writing the letter, Xiven once again called for the owl Jabi who had been working hard all day.

Jabi pecked Xiwen very angrily, as if blaming him for giving him too much work, and he must be paid to work!

So Xiwen had to feed him a few pieces of dried meat as a bribe, and then he was satisfied and sent the letter.

Afterwards, Xiwen began to work hard in his pile of gifts again, opening his own gifts quickly.

Now he feels more and more that being popular is not a good thing...

While opening the gift, a small package caught Xiwen's attention.

This package is not so much a Christmas gift package as it is a rag bag picked up from somewhere. Not to mention it is very simple. There is not even the name of the sender written on it. There are only black letters on the tattered bag.

Inked were two words and two separate letters - "Merry Christmas, S. S."

The handwriting of these two words was very sloppy, and they looked familiar, but Xiwen couldn't remember whose font it was.

So he didn't bother to think so much anymore, and just used a clever cutting spell to cut open the rag bag, intending to see what was inside and whether it could match the "unique" packaging.

Xiwen reached out and took out an oval metal object engraved with runes from the package.

However, when he saw this object, Tong Kong couldn't help but shrink, and an extremely strong feeling of horror suddenly surged into his heart!
