Covered in what looks like tough and thick fur, is a strong humanoid body with bulging muscles. It effortlessly hangs on the outer wall with one hand on the window edge, stepping on the wall tiles and heading straight to the building next to it. If you jump to the top, you will know that the power hidden inside is absolutely explosive.
Supported by pure physical strength, the figure jumped high and fell heavily, constantly leaping on the spires of the castle, and jumped straight towards Xie Lin.
If you get a little closer, you can even see its face clearly - it is a ferocious wolf head, and it roars from time to time.
Xie Lin sighed, and regardless of Blake's reaction, he ran straight towards the werewolf. Normally, a werewolf would not attack animals, so its target is obviously itself.
While Xie Lin was running, various spells and tactics were flowing through his mind. He also did not forget to observe the surrounding environment with his eyes, keeping all the environmental factors in mind-the full moon is cloudless today and the light is sufficient. There is not a hint of cold wind in the air. The location here is close to the Forbidden Forest. Underneath the grass is black clay, which is suitable for plant growth...
Just when the distance between the two was less than three feet, the werewolf jumped up. The werewolf's jumping ability was no joke, and he could reach the three-foot distance in one leap. Xie Lin calmly raised his wand, pointed it at the werewolf and said, "Clear water like a spring." A high-pressure water column like a fire hydrant sprayed out from the tip of the wand, hitting the werewolf's figure head-on and holding it in mid-air. The werewolf who had nowhere to rely on was shot away!
The werewolf fell on the grass a few feet away. When he wanted to stand up, he found that what was poured on him was not pure water, but a sticky liquid similar to strong paste - this was water created by Schelling through adjustments. The "Sticky Curse" created by the viscosity of the liquid in the curse!
Xie Lin performed the next combo without stopping. He aimed the transformation spell at the ground. Underneath the grass was black clay, which was suitable for transforming into a swamp!
The werewolf was trying to free its body from the paste, but found that its body was sinking rapidly. The harder it struggled, the faster it sank. It let out a long howl, bent its body, and slowed down the sinking speed. and tried to crawl out of the swamp by grabbing onto the surrounding dry land.
But Schelling would not give him this chance. I saw the wand in his hand shaking rapidly. Black clay is also suitable for the growth of plants. One after another vines suddenly appeared on the swamp, as thick as a human arm. The vines circled and circled under Xie Lin's control. The werewolf was tied up until only one head of the entire werewolf was exposed.
The poor werewolf couldn't even move a finger.
Xie Lin knew from the beginning that the werewolf's skin had a strong anti-magic effect, so he had no intention of directly casting a spell on the werewolf. Instead, he used transformation to physically bind the werewolf. Now it seems that this tactic is indeed effective.
Xie Lin turned his head to look in Blake's direction again, only to find that the black dog had disappeared at some point.
The noise caused by this battle was actually not big, after all, Xie Lin did not use any powerful magic. Although the howling of the wolves was loud, it failed to attract the attention of the professors. After all, it was no secret that there were wolves in the Forbidden Forest.
Xie Lin first fired a red spark into the sky, then cast the invisible phantom spell and secretly rushed to Hagrid's hut. He even passed by Hagrid in the process. Hagrid probably saw his signal and rushed to see what happened.
Outside Hagrid's hut, Sherrin saw Buckbeak tied to a pillar. Sherrin gained Buckbeak's trust according to the method taught in class, and then turned him into the suitcase space.
Schelling also sneaked into the hut, first wreaked havoc in the hut, creating signs of burglary, and then took away all the unicorn tail hairs hanging on the wall that Hagrid used as bandages. These were valuable A small handful of unicorn tail hair was worth 10 galleons, and the amount Xie Linshun took away was worth at least 100 galleons. Anyway, leaving it with Hagrid would be a waste.
【Get unicorn tail hair! 】
(Note: There is a bug in the original work. Slahorn said that unicorn tail hair costs 10 galleons, but the wand made of unicorn tail hair only sells for 7 galleons, so the price of unicorn tail hair is changed to A small handful of 10 galleons is equivalent to about 5 sticks)
It is estimated that at this time, the professors who saw the red sparks have rushed to the location of the werewolf. Xie Lin is not confident that his invisibility magic can hide from Dumbledore - in order to avoid Dumbledore who may find him, Xie Lin Lin made a special circle, returned to the castle through another secret passage, and then quietly returned to the dormitory without disturbing anyone.
[Buckbeak the hippogriff gets it! 】
At breakfast time the next day, Professor Lupine did not appear at the professor's chair. The young wizards talked about it, but no one knew what happened.
On the contrary, another thing aroused the interest of the little wizards even more. The hippogriff named "Buckbeak" who attacked Blaise disappeared. It is said that Hagrid's cabin was burglarized, and the thief also took Buckbeak. Katsuya stole it.
The Ministry of Magic specially sent officials to investigate this. They suspected that Hagrid had secretly let it go. However, after searching around the castle and the Forbidden Forest to no avail, several officials decided to give up and leave. After all, a Hippogriff No one really cares about his life or death.
After Hermione heard about this incident, she knew that Sherlin had taken action and sent a thank-you card to Sherrin. Although there was only the word "thank you" on the thank-you card, Sherrin knew that this was because the cautious Hermione did not want to write anything in the letter. There is too much information leaked about this matter.
Schelling is more concerned about Professor Lupine turning into a werewolf.
He knew that Professor Lupine regularly took the wolfsbane potion prepared for him by Snape every month, so Dumbledore could rest assured that he would teach in the school without endangering the students. And Banban’s early appearance is also very strange.
Putting the two things together, it is not difficult to guess that Peter Pettigrew had tampered with the Wolfsbane potion, and then appeared at that place at the right time to seduce Black, so that Black would have a fight with Lupine, who had turned into a werewolf. .
Generally speaking, werewolves will not attack Animagus, but Black should be an exception. With Lupine's hatred for Black, even if he becomes a werewolf, he will attack because of his subconscious hatred. Thinking about it this way, the whole story makes sense.
Xie Lin didn't know what caused the change from the original plot, but he didn't care too much about it, because he had long made up his mind to face Voldemort on his own strength - that guy would definitely be able to face Voldemort again. With or without Peter Pettigrew, the outcome would probably be the same.
However, he needs to remind himself not to rely too much on the benefits of predicting the plot, otherwise something will happen sooner or later.
February is over.
The first Saturday in March was the Quidditch match between Slytherin and Hufflepuff. Hufflepuff, who had no hope of winning the championship, seemed to have lost all fighting spirit in this game and was severely crushed by Slytherin - Draco caught the Golden Snitch when the team led by 100 points.
This allowed Slytherin to achieve a record of winning two games, with a net victory of 300 points (50 points against Ravenclaw and 250 points against Hufflepuff), leading the second place team. Gryffindor 200 points. In other words, if Gryffindor wants to win the championship, it must defeat Slytherin with a net score of 210. This is an almost impossible task!
Nothing happened in March in the original novel. Xie Lin, who originally thought that he would spend March in an ordinary way, received a very unexpected letter on this day.
There was only a place and time on the letter. There was no signature at the bottom, but a scarab was drawn on it. Schelling had already guessed the identity of the writer.
At midnight, Schelling cast an invisible phantom spell on himself and sneaked out of the castle. Outside the Forbidden Forest, he met the person who wrote a letter asking him to come out - the seventh-grade prefect Gemma Farley.
In the dense forest, Gemma stood alone in the shadow under the tree. Xie Lin couldn't see the expression on her face clearly in the darkness, but he was able to make her go through so much trouble to get him here in the middle of the night. Obviously it couldn't be for trivial matters, let alone a secret tryst with him. Well, the latter sentence was because Xie Lin was overthinking it.
Gemma was very alert. When Xuelin approached, Gemma had already raised her wand and shouted softly: "Who is it?"
"Don't be nervous, it's me." Sherin replied in a low voice, and Gemma put down the wand. "What's going on? You've made yourself so mysterious in the middle of the night," Xie Lin rolled his eyes, and on a whim, he teased her and said, "Gemma, are you really planning to date me here?" A tryst?"
Gemma seemed to have lost her joking mood, and did not respond to Xie Lin's teasing, but looked serious. She frowned, as if trying to organize her words, and then said, "Xie Lin, have you ever heard of the student organization 'Ghost Society'?"
Xie Lin thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it, what's wrong?"
Gemma explained: "So - what about the 'Knight of Walpurgis'?"
Xie Lin always had a calm and calm expression on his face, but at this moment he had to frown: "Could you be talking about the predecessor of the Death Eaters?"
Gemma nodded, "That's this organization. Most people think that this organization was founded by a mysterious person when he was a student. The purpose is to recruit soldiers in Hogwarts so that they can join the Death Eaters after graduation. However, the fact is On the other hand, the name of the Knights of Walpurgis has a much longer history. If you have to count it, it can be traced back to the period of Grindelwald, the other Dark Lord... This is an organization similar to the fanatical belief in 'pure blood supremacy'. It is somewhat religious in nature. Its members come from various European countries and are all the oldest pure-blood families in the area. When Grindelwald was in trouble, this organization sent people to join the Saints and strengthened the Saints..."
Schelling drew inferences, "So, when Grindelwald fell, the Walpurgis Knights returned to hiding in the dark until the mysterious man rose up and sent people to join the Death Eaters again? So let's put it this way , both Dark Lords were used as guns?"
Gemma nodded solemnly, and the two of them were relatively silent for a moment.
Xie Lin swallowed to moisten his dry throat, and then asked: "So - what does this Walpurgis Knights have to do with the Ghost Society you want to talk about?"
"When the mysterious man recruited troops in Hogwarts, he used the name of the Walpurgis Knights. Perhaps he felt that this name did not match his terror, so after graduation he gave his own force another name. The name of a Death Eater. However, the name Walpurgis Knights was passed down in Hogwarts and became the code name of a mysterious underground student organization. After experiencing Armando Dippet and Armando Under the suppression of the two principals, Bruce Dumbledore, this organization was wiped out on the surface, but privately it survived, but it was renamed the Ghost Society, and the whole style became more low-key and mysterious."
"So, you can also understand that the Volpchis Knights are the predecessor of the Ghost Society. However, the Ghost Society has a smaller number of people and is stricter about keeping things confidential. As far as I know, they now only We are recruiting students from fifth grade and above, and only students with top academic scores and pure-blood families can receive the invitation... Joining the Ghost Society will receive personal guidance from the leader and gain powerful power..."
(Note: The Knights of Volpchiss are an official setting. Rowling said this in an interview with Newsnight on June 19, 2003. However, the author felt that the Knights were not compatible with Voldemort's student organization, so he changed their name to the Ghosts. society)
Xie Lin nodded to express his understanding. To put it bluntly, it is a student organization that specializes in studying and spreading black magic. It uses the powerful power of black magic to lure students into corruption and follow the path predetermined by the organization, such as quasi-saints, quasi-Death Eaters, etc. .
However, for some reason, Xie Lin suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. If Gemma told him these things, it meant that it was definitely related to him. Thinking about it, he had been trying to win over half-blood wizards and Muggles in the past two semesters. Given the wizard's style, it's not hard to imagine that the Ghost Society, which is fanatical about "pure-blood supremacy," wants to deal with him.
Just when he was about to speak to confirm this, he suddenly noticed something was wrong, and the ominous premonition in his heart became stronger. "Gemma, since this organization is as mysterious as you said, how did you know about it? Could it be that …”
Gemma's face finally showed a trace of bitterness, and she nodded, "You guessed it right, I am a member of the Ghost Society. What you did in Slytherin has violated the interests of the pure-blooded die-hards. . Someone asked our leader to send someone to deal with you, and that person is me!"
