v2 Chapter 5： Busy summer vacation

After capturing Nagini, Schelling became even busier.

He temporarily put aside the research and study of black magic books, alchemy books, and wizarding laws, but devoted himself to the research of Nagini.

The entire research was conducted in a laboratory in the suitcase space. Nagini was placed under an indefatigable prohibition, so he could only lie weakly on the experimental platform and let Schelling use various methods to research.

There are no lack of dark and cruel steps in the research process, and I will not describe them one by one for the reader's mental health. Nagini suffered a lot of damage during the research process. The hissing of snakes was often heard in the laboratory. Of course, no one other than Schelling heard it-Aquila was an excellent research assistant. I helped a lot during the whole research process, but it was not a human being.

Neither Schelling nor Aquila had any tolerance for Nagini's misery. After all, after Nagini was completely reduced to a snake shape, she has long lost her memories and emotions as a human being. She can no longer be regarded as a human being. In the original book, she is still a big villain, killing many innocent people, such as The famous historian Bathilda Bagshot.

Just when Nagini was tortured by Schelling and was dying, Schelling's blood curse research was finally completed. A certain piece of flesh intercepted from Nagini was successfully suppressed by the sealing technique and turned back into human flesh.

During the long research process, Schelling also found some unexpected surprises.

He entered the Hogwarts Forbidden Area in the second grade and checked Merlin's research notes on increasing the magic value by implanting the blood of magical creatures. He found that Nagini’s blood seemed to have the function described in the notes, but because he himself had taken a magic enhancement potion containing basilisk venom, the magic enhancement method proposed by Merlin might not work for him. I plan to use it on my followers after thorough research.

Time soon came to August.

Dumbledore is very busy.

This summer, the International Wizarding Federation held a meeting. As the president, he shoulders the important task of mediating issues in the wizarding world of various countries.

With a series of events last year, Dumbledore’s prestige has declined, but this still cannot shake the fact that he is the greatest wizard at the end of this century. Of course, not everyone agrees with this view, such as Rita Skeeter, a special correspondent for the Daily Prophet. She relentlessly mocked Dumbledore as an "obsoleteding bat" in the article.

In addition, as the principal of Hogwarts, he has to work with the Department of International Cooperation, the Department of Sports, Boothbatten, and Durmstrang to prepare for the new Triwizard Goblet of Fire event. This is the first time this event has been successfully restarted since it was suspended in 1792. It can be seen that the weight of the event is heavy, and it can be said that it cannot be missed. As the organizer, Hogwarts assumes the responsibilities of the top priority.

The 1792 event was also hosted at Hogwarts. Although he was not born at the time, he knew exactly what kind of disaster that event eventually brought-a Cockatrice went out of control. Injured three school principals and three foreign referees. The principal at the time was Dexter Fusco, and it was for this reason that he was expelled from the school board, which stained his reputation as well as Hogwarts.

(Note: Kokkis is a monster with a chicken-headed dragon body. It has two dragon claws and a pair of dragon wings. It is a close relative of the basilisk. Its gaze can be fatal or petrified. The breath it breathes contains drama Poison. The early European folklore is very different from the basilisk, but it is set by many video games, especially the dragon and the dungeon, designed to be a chicken and snake, so the People’s Agency mistakenly translated it as a chicken body basilisk. In fact, it is No signs of snakes on the body)

(Note: Between the two principals of Derwent and Moore, there were two principals, Evra and Fusco. Since Evra is one of the two most popular principals in the history of Hogwarts, the author Jean Fu Sco is back)

At the same time, he had to persuade his old friend Aristo Moody to come to Hogwarts to teach. This is not over yet. Hogwarts' faculty hiring is no longer his family, and he must get the approval of the Faculty Employment Committee. There was no problem with the two deans, nor did Ron Wesley. There were only three seats in total, not more than half.

Since the last semester, the relationship between Amelia and him of the Bones family has become alienated inexplicably. Dumbledore has been trying to find her several times in a row, but has no choice but to find Garley. Greengrass.

Compared to Malfoy and the Selwyn family, although Greengrass also believes in the supremacy of pure blood, it is far less extreme than the former two. After paying some price, Dumbledore finally passed Moody's review.

The root cause of all these troubles is the case of Hagrid and Mrs. Shabini.

Dumbledore smelled conspiracy.

At the beginning, he thought it was a ghost that Lucius was doing behind his back. On the surface it was aimed at Hagrid, but in fact it was aimed at himself. After all, the Malfoy family are villains, and they hate themselves, and they have to be the first to take care of everything.

However, after he launched the intelligence network investigation, he found that the whole matter had nothing to do with the Malfoy family. Mrs. Shabini has no grudges against herself, and there is no profit behind her behavior. You must know that manipulating public opinion is not easy. There is a backstage behind the Daily Prophet and many British media. Dumbledore couldn't help but think about it. It must not be that simple...

(Author: Dumbledore’s intelligence network is powerful. Various portraits, pig’s head bars, Florin ice cream shop, etc. are all sources of his intelligence. In the second part, his intelligence network told him that Voldemort was in Albania, sixth The time is even more powerful, and he turned out the entire history of Little Tom at once, and even a remote cave by the sea was found by him. It is not too easy to find Mrs. Shabini)

Voldemort is also very busy.

Losing Nagini, he must force Peter Pettigrew to hunt more venomous snakes for him to refine the same potent venom. At the same time, when Peter Pettigrew went out to inquire about information, he happened to meet Bertha Jorkins who was visiting relatives at the hotel.

Jorkins is an employee of the Sports Department of the Ministry of Magic and a subordinate of Ludovic Bagman. But one day when she went to Crouch House to find Old Barty Crouch to sign some documents for her, she was released with a powerful Forgotten Curse because she discovered the secret of the latter, and she became confused and forgetful ever since. Peter Pettigrew didn't spend much effort, tricked her into the jungle and brought her to Voldemort's presence.

Knowing that he was deceived, Jorkins struggled and was useless, and was captured in two strokes. When Voldemort used her mind to enlighten her, he keenly sensed the traces of the Forgotten Mantra. He had a premonition, and the memory erased by the Forgotten Mantra was of great use to him.

So, he showed Peter Pettigrew another little-known magical effect of the Heart-boring Charm-to dig out the memory hidden in the soul by creating pain. Human memories are generally stored in the brain, but the deeper memories are actually hidden in the soul. The Scarlet Loyalty Mantra uses this principle to keep it secret.

Voldemort continued to torment Jorkins one after another, torturing her for a full day and night, only to successfully break the Forgotten Curse of Jorkins, she recalled all the memories she had lost. At this point, I have to say that Voldemort's Heart Drilling Curse is really profound. He grasped the degree of torture just right and just right, so he could break the Forgotten Curse without torturing her crazy.

Under Voldemort's interrogation, he successfully worked out the secret that Barty Crouch Jr. is still alive, Dumbledore's plan to hire Moody, and the Triwizard Tournament. A new conspiracy gradually formed in Voldemort's heart.

After 　　, Bertha Jorkins, who had no other purpose, was squeezed out of her last value by Voldemort—killed by a killing curse.

Afterwards, Voldemort chanted an ancient mysterious spell in a low voice, and then he suddenly let out a long hissing scream, as if his soul had been torn apart, scaring the little dwarf Peter, who was hiding by the side, to his face with blue lips. Bai, trembling all over.

Compared to the busyness of others, Harry is the most leisurely.

Since the Dursleys learned that he has a murderer godfather, Harry's quality of life has greatly improved. Throughout the summer vacation, he spent leisurely at home, during which he also passed letters with Sirius twice. The letter was sent by a colorful tropical bird, which means that Sirius has left Great Britain and hid on a tropical island in southern Europe.

Hermione has become much quieter this summer. Except for eating time, she almost stays in the room and reads. What's interesting is that when Mrs. Granger knocked on the door several times to come in for condolences, she found that the book on her daughter's desk was always open on the same page.

Mr. Granger told a few jokes at the dinner table, but he couldn't make his daughter smile. Of course, he couldn't count on Mr. Granger as a dentist to have many humorous cells.

The person who knows the daughter best in the world is usually the mother. The careful Mrs. Granger keenly sensed that her daughter was on her mind, and she stopped her husband's childish jokes with her eyes.

After dinner, the mother and daughter chatted together in Hermione’s bedroom alone.

"My dear, are you unhappy about something?" Mrs. Granger's voice was very gentle.

Hermione opened her mouth. She subconsciously wanted to say "I'm fine", but suddenly realized that she couldn't hide her mother.

"Mom, I..." Hermione didn't know where to start, but her voice couldn't help sobbing.

Mrs. Granger hugged her daughter into her arms, "It's okay, wait until you are ready! Mom just wants you to know that mom loves you, and mom will support you anytime."

Hermione wiped away her tears, "Mom, I want to ask you, have you ever quarreled with Dad?"

"Fools, of course there are, but—" Mrs. Granger gave a mischievous smile, "I know the bottom line is there, and I know how to coax your dad back."

"Listen, my dear, it is inevitable between people because of their different backgrounds and different experiences. Even the two closest people cannot avoid quarrels and quarrels. You can All you have to do is to actively accept it."

"Are you willing to accept it?" Hermione blinked and asked unwillingly.

"Of course, if this person is important to you, you can also take the initiative to save the relationship, which may require you to make some changes and some compromises. As for the value, it depends on how you measure it. We Hermione is so smart, she must know what to do, right?" Mrs. Granger said with a smile.

Hermione fell into a trance, and the past replayed in her mind scene by scene...

The boy stood in front of her and defeated the troll...the boy told her the identity of Nico Lemay...the boy was on the train to persuade her to write to Dumbledore for the ignorant Ron...the boy was in public on the high platform Grabbing her hand, that was the first time she successfully released her patron saint... The night she cried, the boy comforted in the toilet... The day Buckbeak was sentenced to death, the boy did not evasive. Accepted to help...

In the end, the picture in my mind freezes when he, Harry and Ron are surrounded by more than a dozen Slytherin students, and the boy said mercilessly about breaking up... Hermione bit her lower lip, as if she had made a decision in her heart.

At the beginning of the summer vacation, Meredith moved to Greengrass Manor. With the passing of three semesters, Meredith has got rid of the shackles of the past, letting go of those meaningless pride She chose to let the family attach to Greengrass, whether it is to the family or herself, Both are the best decisions.

Mr. Greengrass was too good to say to her. Of course, this was influenced by Daphne, but he used to have a lot of friendship with the late Mr. Shafik, and Meredith was considered his old friend or orphan. In the end, he decided to accept Meredith as his goddaughter. Later, he would be commensurate with himself as a father and daughter, and as sisters with his two daughters, and asked her and her house-elf Dino to move to the manor and live together. Family.

Meredith, Daphne and Astoria have a very important task in this summer vacation-learning Occlumency.

As the left and right arms of the future, Xie Lin has already sternly told them that Occlumency is a necessary skill. Otherwise, they are likely to become Xie Lin's flaws, revealing Xie Lin's secrets. What's more, the purpose of Occlumency is not just to fight against the mind of dementia, it can also assist the wizard to resist the control of the Imperius curse.

After Voldemort's return, the situation in the UK can be plunged into chaos, and the Imperius Curse is the biggest culprit, whether it is Diagon Alley, Hogsmeade Village, Ministry of Magic, Hogwarts, or even the major wizard families. There will be people controlled by the Imperius Curse. Learning Occlumency can effectively prevent yourself from being controlled.

Xie Lin had already informed them of the principles and experiences of Occlumency, and specially got a Bogut through the black market for them to practice.

The three sensible girls also knew the seriousness of this matter and did not dare to neglect. They practiced hard every day since the beginning of the summer vacation, and finally reached a small level before the end of July. It may not be enough to deal with the master-level pantheon or Imperius curse, but it is no longer a level that Bogut can achieve.
