Hogsmeade is the only all-wizard village in the country.
John walks into Honeydukes Candy Shop, which is very popular with little wizards.
Even grown-up wizards would appear here. The piles of cockroaches crawling around made John wonder if the person who made this kind of candy had some psychological distortion.
Grabbing a candy that looked like a cockroach, he put it in his mouth and could still feel it crawling around in his mouth.
Sweet, very sweet.
It's like pouring a mouthful of syrup directly into your throat, so sweet that it hits your throat.
"Boss, give me some of this."
He chewed up the pile of cockroaches and swallowed them without any emotion. John consumed ten galleons and stuffed a lot of candies into his small bag.
Since it's a village, there's no need to expect how big Hogsmeade will be.
John walked around and saw Hagrid running out to drink.
He followed him into the Three Broomsticks, where John ordered a butterbeer.
After taking a sip, he felt pretty good. It would be better if it was iced.
Unfortunately, cold butterbeer will clump up and taste very greasy.
"John? Why are you here?"
Hagrid often drank at the Three Broomsticks, and when he saw John, he subconsciously shouted out.
John pointed to the seat and invited him to sit down. He glanced at the extra beaters outside and said calmly: "There are really many people from the Ministry of Magic in Hogsmeade."
Hagrid's glass of beer was worth John's bucket. He drank most of it in one gulp and whispered: "You also know, little...Sirius is near Hogwarts."
There was hesitation on his face. If it weren't for John in front of him, Hagrid wouldn't have said it easily. He approached John and said in a voice that he thought was soft: "That guy came for Harry. You don't know, he used to …”
No words came out despite opening his mouth several times, Hagrid looked struggling.
Seeing how painful he was, John waved his hands and said, "Don't force yourself to tell me, Hagrid, you want my help, right?"
After taking a sip of butterbeer, John knew that Hagrid was looking for help when he saw him like this.
This made him habitually assume a high posture, with his right hand subconsciously placed on his left.
It's a pity that the Ring of Conjuration was not brought out, otherwise he would be a proper wizard godfather.
He leaned back in his chair, his eyes scrutinizing.
This look gave Hagrid the illusion that he was facing Dumbledore, and he subconsciously sat up.
With hesitation on his face, Hagrid hesitated and said: "John, I know you are very powerful. You are the most powerful student I have ever seen. That Sirius will definitely look for Harry. I hope you can..."
"You want me to protect Harry?"
John looked at Hagrid and said with an indifferent expression: "Hagrid, you are not the first person to talk to me like this. Someone also said this to me in the second grade."
Hagrid was a little embarrassed. After all, John was also a student and he was a professor. It always felt a bit strange to ask students to protect students.
"Harry is not a child, Hagrid. He can protect himself."
John didn't agree, and protecting Harry in the second year was still under suspicion. This year, he had to study soul magic, so he didn't have much time.
Hagrid was a little anxious. His voice became louder and he said, "You don't know how cruel that guy Sirius is!"
"He betrayed James, betrayed his best friend, and besides, he still..."
When the words came to his lips, Hagrid lowered his head dejectedly and said, "He is still Harry's godfather. I can't believe what Harry would think if he knew."
how to think?
John felt that if Harry knew about it, he would probably rush out and kill Sirius.
John suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the Weasleys were worried about Harry being impulsive. It turned out to be because of this.
The revenge for killing his father was the beginning of all misfortunes for Harry.
Let alone Harry, if it were him, John wouldn't think he could endure it.
Hagrid took a dull sip of wine, and the glass of beer, which could be said to be a barrel, bottomed out.
"John, promise me you will stop him."
Hagrid looks silly, but he cares about Harry more than anyone else.
He is like a clumsy father who wants to protect his children as much as possible.
"I will keep an eye on him for you, but please understand that Harry is not a puppy, and I can't possibly tie him up and keep him from leaving."
John nodded, not completely agreeing.
As long as it happens to me, I won't stand idly by.
Hagrid was very happy after hearing this. He felt that John was the most powerful student, and even the professor was no match for John.
"Would you like another butterbeer? I'll treat you to that."
Hagrid saw that John's glass was empty and got another one for John.
After drinking the drink, John stood up and left. Hogsmeade was more boring than he thought.
But his real purpose is not to come here.
Putting a mask on himself and shrouding himself in a cloak, John changed bars.
Hog's Head Bar.
There are real pig heads in the Pig Head Bar, and the pig heads can move, and the saliva sticks to the fangs and drips down.
The atmosphere here is not as warm and harmonious as the Three Broomsticks. People from all walks of life are here, and some shady transactions are going on.
John found a seat and sat down. He was completely covered under his cloak and his appearance was invisible.
Not long after sitting down, a man wearing a white mask came and sat down opposite.
"grown ups."
The man spoke, a voice familiar to John.
John said in a calm voice: "Where is what I want?"
"Here, it was collected from an old witch in Knockturn Alley. The old guy used children as experimental subjects. We have already solved it."
A book, to be precise, a book in a silver carved box.
John took the box and after confirming it was correct, he nodded, his voice still hoarse, "Go back. If you have any questions about the store, you can write to me. There shouldn't be any action from the Ministry of Magic, right?"
Tang Mi showed admiration and said: "No, the Ministry of Magic has a very good impression of us now. Cornelius Fudge once wanted to visit you, but I refused because you were out of town."
"Visiting me? It seems that Dumbledore is gradually losing patience with him and he is a little anxious."
Shaking his head, John said calmly: "Fudge is not a qualified minister. We just need to wait and see what happens, and wait until the time is right before we intervene."
"Yes." Tang Mi nodded and immediately left the Pig Head Bar.
He left on the front foot, and John picked up the book on the back foot and left.
This book cannot be stuffed into a small bag because it is not a simple book.
"Forbidden Magic", this is an ancient book, so old that John needs to hold it carefully.
Powerful magic was also cast on it, and John happened to see the record in the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets.
This book was supposed to be in the Chamber of Secrets, but now it's in Knockturn Alley.
For a time, Voldemort spent time in Knockturn Alley.
I think it was because of this that this book ended up in Knockturn Alley.
In order to maintain the image of Johnny Silverhand, John Way happened to encounter those wizards who were harming children in Knockturn Alley.
It contains research on the soul, including methods of soul separation.
John didn't stay in Hogsmeade for long. He used Apparition to leave in a deserted place.
Daphne was still looking for John. She finally saw John, but after turning a corner, John disappeared.
...
Back at Hogwarts, John hurriedly headed to the Chamber of Secrets.
Filch was a little surprised to see John back.
Harry also saw John and became curious. Unfortunately, John was faster than him and disappeared soon.
"Why is John back?" Harry stared at the direction where John disappeared, lost in thought.
John had already arrived in the secret room and opened the exquisite engraved silver box. Inside lay an unknown book with a red leather cover.
At the first touch, a scream filled John's ears.
The sound was sharp and harsh, like the wail of a dementor.
John endured the discomfort and used Occlumency to expel the sound.
"A spell that hits the soul directly." After the voice disappeared, John's face looked much better.
Opening the book, there are many records in beautiful cursive styles.
John watched quietly, with surprise in his eyes from time to time.
Close the book and digest the contents.
John took the box and went to capture the dementors again.
Capturing the dementors, John conducts experiments.
"Curse to curse, soul to soul, peel off the cocoon, be careful."
The dementors were disassembled bit by bit, and three hours passed quickly.
John maintained a posture, and an incredible scene appeared in front of him.
A human body glowing with silvery white light was pulled out by John. The two colors of black and white were clearly distinguishable.
"Successful."
The human body quickly shrank into a ball, and John used his wand to separate the black and white.
The joy on his face could not be hidden. John couldn't help but clench his fists as the last bit of his soul was put into the bottle.
He successfully performed an operation and the dementors were stripped away instead of dead.
"Use another soul as a blade."
Staring at the accumulated soul fragments being consumed, John's face gradually calmed down and he sighed: "What a cruel operation."
But fortunately there are Dementors, so John can catch a few more as backup.
...
