Chapter 298：

Daphne blushed, and John heard her promise.

With a joyful expression on his face, he approached Daphne. Under Daphne's gaze, he took out his wand.

"I want some blood from you, and I also need you to let go of your resistance to me."

"That's it?" Daphne said doubtfully.

John became even more confused, "What else?"

"Then why are you here?" Daphne asked her soul.

John didn't think about it and said matter-of-factly, "It's quiet here and you won't be disturbed. The Star Club is fine, but it's about the secrets of the Greengrass family."

He was thinking about Daphne. After all, the curse was a private family matter.

A trace of disappointment flashed in Daphne's eyes, and John also began to check.

He took a drop of Daphne's blood and looked for the curse on Daphne.

In the palm of his hand, the suspended blood quickly dried up, and the life force was drained away.

Daphne felt a little uncomfortable, as if her energy had been drained.

His eyebrows twitched, Bloodborne Curse.

"The soul is back."

Daphne felt her body become floating. When she looked down, she saw her body lying down.

The out-of-body state made her feel amazing, and at the same time, her soul was unreservedly presented to John.

But John's face was not good, this curse was hidden in his soul.

"Soul surgery? No, it can't be done."

The curse is attached to the soul, and the only way to cure it is to perform soul surgery again.

This is not a simple matter. He needs to be more prepared.

Let the soul return to Daphne's body.

John closed his eyes and thought for a while to come up with the best solution.

"The curse is attached to the soul, perhaps because the time has not come and it is not active."

This is not good news. The curse seems to have fallen into hibernation. In this state, it is almost integrated with the soul.

The best way is to wait until the curse becomes active, otherwise soul surgery cannot be performed.

Mr. Greengrass said that this curse is probabilistic, and he doesn't know when it will break out.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that after the age of thirty, the activity of this curse will decrease to almost zero.

"During the dormant period, it is best to treat it during the period when the curse becomes active." John said to Daphne, "This curse will be fatal if it appears before the age of thirty."

Hearing the existence of the curse made Daphne's heart twitch.

But there is another person in the Greengrass family.

She thought of her sister and asked hurriedly: "What should Astoria do?"

"It also needs to be checked, but there is a high probability that she also has a curse." John felt that this was not a probabilistic curse, but that everything existed, but it was not triggered.

He originally wanted to treat Daphne before confirming the follow-up treatment procedures for Astoria, but now it seems that he can only drug people.

A few days later, Astoria was also found to be cursed.

And it has slowly woken up.

The soul potion that John prepared before cannot be used. That thing heals the soul, and the curse connected to the soul will only become more powerful.

He began rummaging through books and research papers to find a way to remove the curse before severing his soul.

Because of this, he has been missing for nearly a week.

Umbridge was so angry that she wanted to find trouble, but Slytherin pushed her back.

After all, these children all have forces behind them that are not easy to deal with, and Umbridge has nothing to do about it.

The professors didn't take it seriously. Even if this student graduated directly, it would be more than enough.

Midnight.

John was rummaging through books about the level of the soul in the restricted book area.

Curses are extremely difficult things to deal with in the magical world. Gringotts also has a Curse Breaker profession, which is specially used to deal with curses in ancient tombs.

The Bloodborne Curse is the most difficult of all curses. John put down a book and frowned.

…

Chapter 326 The mysterious letter and the honey candy

February.

Malfoy provokes Harry every day.

Qunxing Club is still operating as usual.

Dumbledore's Army continues to train.

Everything seems to continue to be in order.

Umbridge made the discipline of Hogwarts so tense that later on, even the staff chose not to talk in the staff lounge.

Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick and Professor Sprout were talking in front of the Charms classroom. Every student in the castle had been suffering from Umbridge for a long time.

It's a pity that Dumbledore still won't show up.

​This is a good thing for John.

Ozzie Hilde walked irritably through the corridor, holding a pack of cigarettes in his hand, looking for a place to satisfy his craving.

Some students greeted her on the street, but she responded perfunctorily.

The next time you go to Hogsmeade is Valentine's Day. From here you can see the different love values ​​​​in the West and the East.

If you were at Tianchao's age, it would be a question of whether you could save your legs, let alone Valentine's Day.

But Hogwarts encourages this kind of puppy love behavior. Once Lockhart held a Valentine's Day confession event and no one stopped him.

Neville met Luna on the road. This strange girl made Neville a little at a loss.

"What are you holding?" Luna's dazed look made people feel like she didn't know where her attention was going.

"This is a sword," Neville scratched his head, walked together with Luna, and asked curiously: "Where are you going?"

"Emmm..." Luna didn't say where she was going.

She promised to keep it a secret.

It's just that it's easy for people to misunderstand. Neville felt that he was being troublesome and apologized quickly, "Sorry, I didn't mean to do it."

Speaking of which, Neville was the only person in the dormitory who had not joined Dumbledore's Army. He had not appeared in the bar when it was first created.

Holding the Sword of Marvolo, Neville came to the eighth floor.

He turned in another direction, and Luna bounded to a door and entered.

Neville looked back and saw Luna was gone.

Curious in his heart, he walked past a huge tapestry, then turned back and stopped.

He couldn't remember when there was a door here.

After staying for a while, he was ready to go over and take a look.

Putting his hand on the door, he looked down and saw that the red gem lit up.

"What is this place?" Neville was startled and wanted to go in.

The door began to disappear, the door turned into a wall.

Neville was stunned for a while, and the red light dimmed.

"Just like in St. Mungo's." Neville looked at the gem on the sword and then at the disappearing door.

He felt like he was about to find it.

Although John didn't tell him what he was looking for.

But there seems to be guidance somewhere.

He paused for a while and then left.

…

John's research came to a standstill. He swept the parchment off the table and sat there rubbing his brows.

"This kind of curse is different from the blood curse. The blood curse is devouring, while it is destruction."

Picking up a piece of parchment, I wrote and corrected it many times.

Neither he nor Daphne told Astoria how serious the inspection was. John put the parchment into an envelope, called Basil and said, "Send it to Damo Alex."

Basil ate a small dried fish, picked up the letter and flew away.

"I need to change my mood." John said to himself and walked out of the dormitory.

He passed by the common room, where Malfoy was playing Gobstone with Goyle and Crabbe.

This thing will spray foul-smelling gas at the losing side. Gore smelled bad and looked like he had lost many times.

The Slytherin Quidditch team took a rare break, and a group of people gathered together to relax.

John walked out of the lounge and walked along the corridor.

He had no purpose other than to come out to breathe fresh air and find inspiration.

As he walked, he came to the covered bridge.

Very few people come to this place.

He leaned on the covered bridge, his mind completely empty.

There are still some benefits to being at Hogwarts.

For example, he is not afraid of sudden attacks here.

Although there is an uneasy Umbridge this year, the academic style is developing for the better.

At least there aren’t so many distractions during class.

Feeling the moist wind blowing against his face from the covered bridge, John lowered his head and looked at the water below.

In his first year, he took the boat to Hogwarts from below.

"It feels like a long time has passed." A trace of fatigue flashed under his eyes.

Looking up, a barn owl flew over.

The owl stopped at the handrail of the covered bridge and handed a letter to John.

After everything was done, the owl flew up and disappeared quickly.

"No signature?"

John stared at the envelope.

The envelope is black. Almost no one would use this color to deliver letters.

After checking to make sure there was no curse or other magic attached, John opened it.

Inside is a small card with only one sentence on it.

"Live to die."

John's pupils narrowed as he stared at the card.

He took out his wand and pointed it at the card.

"Appear."

Staring at the card, the card did not change at all under the magic.
