Chapter 133: Draught of Living Ghost

Chapter 133: Draught of Living Ghost

Everything went as usual in the wagon.

But the arrival of Gabrielle had caused a stir.

Although there were once many ghosts in Hogwarts Castle, and even a ghost professor who specialized in teaching the history of magic, the students on the wagon had never seen such a being since the beginning of the exile.

Most of the students here were originally Muggle students, who had learned about the knowledge related to ghosts only when the professor talked about it during the class, but they were also the same as Jon, just aware of it, but seeing it for the first time.

"How unfortunate." Lavender said in a small voice as she looked at Gabrielle, who hid behind Jon because she was surrounded by a group of people, somewhat shy and panicked, and Hermione, who was beside her said.

"She died so young, I read that a person will turn into a ghost after death when they have a deep obsession with the world, she must have suffered a lot when she died."

Gabrielle, who obviously heard her words, pouted and grabbed the corner of Jon's robe, trying to poke her head out to explain, but finally shrunk back unhappily.

She is now only seven years old, and although her personality is considered cheerful, in this period of time, after going through so many events, she also started to become somewhat more cautious.

"This is Gabriel Delacour." Jon can only introduce on her behalf, "from France, going to be a guest at Hogwarts for a period of time, she is indeed a ghost now at present, but she's not really dead, rather drank the Draught of Living Ghost, which temporarily turned her like this."

The Draught of Living Ghost is somewhat unorthodox and not widely known, in short, it is a potion that can forcibly turn a wizard into a ghost.

But this potion has a high degree of complexity and difficulty to make, some of its ingredients are now even basically extinct, and the degree of restrictions is very high, after all, it can artificially cause ghost transformation, but it cannot be compared with the real ghost, it will not have the characteristic of not dying again after the death, normally one can only survive in the form of a ghost for four or five years, then that person will die completely.

But the advantage is that, after drinking the vial and turning into a ghost, it is not irreversible, as long as the body of the person who drank the potion is well protected, then if you are able to feed the antidote within the five-year limit, you can revert that person back to his/her original human form.

Madame Maxime had indeed reached the point where she had no other way out, otherwise, she would not have risked killing her friend's daughter by feeding Gabrielle the Draught of Living Ghost.

Lavender and the group did not know what the Draught of Living Ghost is, but they heard the implication in Jon's words.

But they really didn't care whether or not Gabrielle actually died, there was hardly a child on the wagon, and although the child is a ghost, it still made Lavender and the senior girls a little excited.

Soon they took Gabrielle to tour around the wagon, while Jon went back to his dorm room with Neville to put his bags down.

The more the Ministry of Magic wants to cut the presence of Hogwarts led by Dumbledore, the more Jon has to make a public announcement that there are still people in the wizarding world who are still fighting against Voldemort's system.

This may not let all the half-blood students see the nature of this pureblood supremacy theory, but it is possible to wake up a few people, making their originally submissive mentality change a bit.

Even if there is only one person who can have such a change, then it is not a loss for Jon to say these words, and it can also leave a seed of rebellion in the hearts of others.

The pureblood under the leadership of Voldemort may seem strong and difficult to resist, and this seed may never break the surface, but once even a subtle change occurred in the situation someday, the scale is not completely tilted to one side, then the seeds planted today will blossom, and when the time comes, it may play an unexpected role.

With the magic stored in the gem he was able to do so much, so Jon felt that this deal was not a loss, and besides, it is not as if he could not store magic inside in the future.

And the most crucial thing is that Jon always felt that this gem retained more than just magic power alone.

Previously, because of him being anxious about rescuing students from the castle, he did not have the time and energy to study it, and after he came back, he went out with Dumbledore for a few days, and now he can finally spare time to seriously study what is on this gem.

If there is something else in it that he has not found, then Jon can only assume that the knowledge was absorbed together with the magic in the restricted books.

Magic power is a carrier of the knowledge in the restricted books, but it does not mean that is all those knowledges.

[TL;]

The potion that can turn people into a ghost seemed like an author's self-creation, previously I assumed it as a modified Draught of Living Death, but the time limit and other info that the author gave in this chapter prove it isn't any exciting canon potions, I searched Wiki and other websites to make sure of it; now I will edit the name of it in the previous chapters into Draught of Living Ghost.
