harry potter book of crimes

Just like the secret of the "school closure" that is not known to most people, this magic school that seems very elegant and gorgeous nowadays actually has a past that cannot be called glorious.

As a wizard fortress built solely for war, there was naturally no shortage of blood and killings, and there were even suspicions and betrayals.

Yes, these things must not be mentioned to the young wizards who studied there after the school was officially established. So just like the old housekeeper said, that complicated and chaotic period before the school was established has long been

The school administration and all the forces that need this school to exist are in a state of dust.

However, although the past has disappeared like smoke, some things have remained in Beauxbatons after all. For example, the school rules were compiled and revised at the beginning of the school's founding, and the large amount of solidification magic used for defense at that time, and another example

...In fact, Beauxbatons still has some magical books and notebooks hidden in the school whose origins are not entirely innocent.

For wizards, the vast amount of magical knowledge collected, copied and created by individuals is of course the most valuable thing. Among the books and notebooks owned by Beauxbatons, in addition to most of the regular books collected later

, there are actually many personal belongings of powerful wizards who were stationed here during the fortress period, as well as dangerous dark wizards who were directly executed here.

Students are naturally not allowed to read books whose origins may not be clear and may even have a negative impact on readers, but professors and principals do not have such restrictions.

In fact, since it does contain a lot of dangerous but very practical magic knowledge, almost every principal will study it carefully.

After all, the road to magic is always endless, isn't it?

And Mrs. Maxim... learned about some taboo research on the soul from one of the dark wizard's notes among those books and documents.

"When I was talking to Mr. Blois before, I also talked about some topics about the causes of living corpses. Is it just...'soulology'?"

Seeing the girl who was heavily bound by magic chains but still struggling on the bed, Maxim's already frowned brows deepened.

"Black magic... is unforgivable... Well, this is a bottom line that must never be touched!"

Among the group of black wizards, there is a clear classification for the study of life souls and magic alone, and that is "soulology." And most black magic, such as the invention of the three unforgivable curses, is almost certainly related to the study of souls.

Research is inextricably linked.

However, if she wants to reverse the process of turning the girl in front of her into a living corpse - Ida Brandt, let alone whether she can succeed! At least if she wants to do that, she must first get involved in the underworld.

Magic, become a... dark wizard yourself.

Maxim needs Ida to be deactivated from the living corpse and needs her to become a witness to this incident, but... is it really worth it? What's more, she is not completely sure yet.

"No... At present, although because of the chaos at the school gate, the Brandt family probably doesn't dare to do anything when so many eyes are focused on Beauxbatons, but this state can't be maintained for long. If I

If we continue to hesitate like this, Beauxbatons will really have only one option left: 'closing the school'!"

Thinking of this, she seemed to have finally made up her mind. She suddenly pulled out her wand and waved it vigorously towards the table beside her.

At that moment, many potions and alchemy tools immediately appeared on the table, filling the table full of them.

"Reversal of zombie transformation...reversal...soul...Yes, first of all, we have to check her soul state as carefully as possible, right? No, just to be on the safe side, repeat it a few times and compare it with each other."

After Maxim took out many props, he opened a notebook and started writing and drawing quickly in it.

She has a lot of knowledge in her head, but when it comes to actual use, she can't just follow the instructions. Especially, this is black magic related to the soul!

Throughout the night, Maxim continued to conduct research. He didn't even have time to pay attention to the wounds left by the fierce battle with Ida, who had turned into a living corpse. There was a lot of blood oozing out.

Unfortunately, magic research cannot achieve results in one night. She gradually discovered that even if she really just "followed the script" from the documents in her memory, it would take a lot of time to conduct in-depth analysis and verification.

It seems that becoming a dark wizard with brains is not an easy task.

When rays of morning light filtered through the gaps in the curtains and fell silently on the pages of the book, Maxim raised his head again, looked at the several beams of light with a tired face and said to himself:

"If this continues... it's too late."

As soon as she finished speaking, she put down the quill in her hand and turned her gaze to Ida on the bed again. After another night of being tied up, the living corpse girl not only did not stop, but instead struggled even more fiercely.

Judging from the state of the magic chain, at least Maxim thinks... her power seems to be getting stronger.

Everything seemed to be forcing Madame Maxime, forcing her to go in the wrong direction.

"If... it's 'that' magic, with its integrity... maybe it can work." Suddenly, she looked at Ida on the bed and murmured, "Yes... it doesn't matter if something happens to me, after all, with my power

, it doesn’t matter at all in this disaster. As long as Beauxbatons can be safe...that’ll be fine, right?”

After mumbling like this, Maxim finally gritted her teeth and picked up the quill on the notebook again. Then, she casually pulled out a blank piece of parchment and wrote something in a hurry.

thing.

After a while, she dropped her quill, picked up her wand, stood up, and staggered toward the bed.

Only now can we clearly see that one of her legs has obviously lost its function long ago, and she can still barely walk, only with the help of her other leg and the magic wand.

If it was just a physical injury, it would not be incurable compared to Maxim's. It seemed like it must have been the result of quite serious magical damage.

It's just... it's just a leg, and it's obviously no longer within the scope of Maxim's concern.

"Ida Brandt... I want you to expose the conspiracy of the head of your Brandt family to President Akinbad and Miss Granger, and let him get absolute punishment. This is my reward for saving you, and also

The price I pay for saving you!"

"For... Beauxbatons."
