The time has finally arrived on Saturday, and the Quidditch Finals is today. This game will determine the final winner of the House Cup this semester.
Schelling did not go to watch.
He was in the laboratory in the suitcase space, completing the last step of refining Bafe's brain-reviving potion. Since he came back from Sardinia and obtained the rune snake eggs from his sister Gulana, all the materials needed for the Baffy Awakening Potion have been gathered.
Before starting to refine the potion, Xie Lin took a sip of the elixir to make sure everything was safe. He added dragon claw powder, jumping toadstools, and frog brains to the potion, and carefully controlled the heat to cook it.
Under the effect of the Fuling Elixir, his intuition has been greatly improved. He can judge the exact time to add materials just by intuition. After the liquid began to emit a faint fragrance, Xie Lin added the following: The snakehead eggs were added, and a small pot of very thick green liquid appeared.
Schelling extracted one-tenth of the green concentrated liquid, put it into a test tube, and diluted it with a large amount of water. The color inside immediately became lighter.
Xie Lin fed this diluted Bafe brain-refreshing agent to Yinya. After drinking it, Yinya became extremely excited and kept jumping up and down. Half an hour later, after Xie Lin confirmed that Yin Ya did not have any side effects, he took out three-tenths of the undiluted concentrated liquid and drank it directly.
The moment he swallowed the potion, Xie Lin felt that his brain was relaxed and his thinking was more active than ever.
He took a deep breath. The feeling was more than just uplifting. Basically, as long as the brain was slightly active, one could easily find the answer or find a solution to the problem.
Xie Lin sat in the armchair, closed his eyes, crossed his fingers, and prepared to think about some issues while the medicine took effect. With the help of the effect of Bafei's brain-refreshing agent, Xie Lin suddenly thought about a lot of things clearly. When he opened his eyes again, he immediately took out his pen and wrote down what he had just thought of in his notebook.
Afterwards, Schelling tried to concentrate on releasing the Patronus Spell, and found that the duration of the Patronus was nearly twice as long as before. Schelling's magic power has reached the level of a senior student. The duration of the Patronus is many times longer than that of Harry and others in the original work. Now because of the increase in mental power, Schelling can control the output of magic power more accurately. , greatly reducing the waste rate of magic power. The duration of the patron saint can probably catch up with the level of adult wizards.
When Schelling returned to the Great Hall, he happened to see the triumphant Slytherins and the dejected Gryffindors.
Draco, who was in high spirits, loudly showed off his achievements in the great hall and vented his pride and ambition.
The tactics Schelling proposed to Draco in advance really worked. Slytherin completely shrank its formation from the beginning of the game, and only wanted to prevent Gryffindor from scoring - Gryffindor was two hundred points behind, which meant Harry could do nothing but interfere with Draco in the early stages of the game, but Draco's skills were no longer what they used to be. The results of his hard training finally showed, coupled with the super performance of the Firebolt, in the end Successfully caught the Golden Snitch under Harry's obstruction.
Finally winning the Quidditch Cup, Slytherin's excitement lasted for at least a week, and Draco's popularity also skyrocketed.
The girls all discovered that Daphne and Meredith were always closely guarding Sherlyn. Only then did they realize that Draco was no worse than Sherlyn in terms of family background and appearance. Suddenly, he was like a shark that smelled blood. Being around Draco like that all day long made Pansy look unhappy and began to guard Draco nervously.
Even the weather seems to be celebrating, as June approaches, the days become cloudless and so hot that you just want to stroll out to the grounds with a few pints of ice-cold pumpkin juice, sit down, and maybe have some fun. A few rounds of gobs, or watching the giant squid swim dreamily across the lake.
Speaking of giant squid, Schelling had close contact with him when he was adventuring in the Caribbean in his previous life. Schelling can confirm that this is definitely not the same species as the deep-sea giant squid in the Muggle world. The giant squid has a gentle personality and spirituality. Perhaps it can be explained by being domesticated by a wizard, but this cannot change the fact that the deep-sea giant squid is a saltwater species. The deep-sea giant squid cannot adapt to the light, water pressure, and salt concentration of the Black Lake, let alone eat the bread fed by the students.
However, Xie Lin searched through the Hogwarts library and the massive family collection, but could not find a single word about the "magic giant squid". This gave Xie Lin a bold idea in his mind, could it be... ( Let the author give it a try, oh, don’t hit me)
But students can't do that because final exams are approaching again. Not only were the students unable to lazily pass the time outdoors, they had to stay in the castle, enduring the temptation of the summer breeze outside the window and forcing their brains to work hard.
Schelling never worried about exams at all. For him, exams were just a process. No matter how good your test scores are, they will be of no use in the coming troubled times.
Besides, it's not difficult to earn Galleons based on his strength. If he was luckier, if he could keep the Malfoy family, the family wealth alone would be enough for him to spend a lifetime.
(Note: In fact, even if the original plot is followed, although the Malfoy family has declined, Draco still has enough food and clothing without having to work, which shows how deep Malfoy's wealth is)
No, while others were still studying hard, Xie Lin slipped into the Forbidden Forest again to look for rare materials.
As soon as he stepped into the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest, Xie Lin saw a scene that surprised him.
Under a towering ancient tree, Sirius Black was leaning on the trunk, unconscious. His body was seriously injured, and most of the front of his clothes had been torn. The dried blood was shocking, and on his half-exposed chest, there was a slightly collapsed bruise as big as a fist.
Xie Lin thought for a moment, took out a bottle of first aid potion from his pocket, and poured it into Sirius's mouth. After waiting quietly for a moment, Sirius suddenly opened his eyes.
"Well..." He seemed to be frightened, and suddenly he stood on the ground and wanted to get up, but the injuries on his body did not allow him to do so. Sirius groaned in pain and fell back onto the cold ground.
Schelling seized this opportunity and cast a hypnotic spell on him. At this moment, Sirius' spirit was in a very weak state, and he was easily hypnotized by Schelling and fell into a deep sleep.
Schelling told the story of his attack bit by bit from Sirius's mouth.
As for why not use Legilimency spell? The Legilimency Spell and the Hypnotic Spell are both suitable for extracting secrets from people's hearts. The Legilimency Spell can directly and roughly invade people's minds and steal memories. Its advantage is that it is convenient and fast, but it must be cast directly on the recipient. The spell will be traced afterwards, and the subject will have a feeling of memory confusion. Therefore, most telegraphers must also be proficient in the forgetting spell to try to make the subject forget that they have been remembered.
Although the hypnotic spell is relatively complicated and slow - the caster needs to use continuous words and gestures to slowly induce the subject's consciousness into a deep sleep state, and then use words to induce the other party to actively speak out the information they need. Although The whole process is slow and complicated, and there is no trace afterwards. The subject will only think that he has slept.
(Note: To put it simply, the Legilimency Spell is like an invasion of memory and thoughts, while the Hypnotic Spell is just a magic that induces the other party to actively cooperate.)
The attacker turned out to be Peter Pettigrew!
"Peter Pettigrew?" Schelling's brows furrowed even more.
Peter Pettigrew is undoubtedly synonymous with cowardice. It is almost impossible for him to fight Sirius - he has been on the run from the beginning to the end, even after he successfully deceived everyone back then, he is still on the run. How could such a coward attack Sirius, whom he had always envied and been jealous of?
Not to mention, with Peter Pettigrew's strength, even a sneak attack would be difficult to beat Sirius into this state.
Schelling put aside his distracting thoughts and continued to use hypnotic spells to induce Sirius to reveal some of the secrets he wanted to obtain: the location of the Black family's secret room and the password to Sirius's Gringotts vault. After getting all the information he needed, he ended the spell and let Sirius fall asleep. When he wakes up, he will not remember meeting Sherrin.
Xie Linsi thought about it for a while, and finally decided to confess part of the matter to Dumbledore.
Obviously, Peter Pettigrew's affairs are beyond his control. Sirius is also an Auror-level combatant. Even if he is in a weak state during the prison break, he is probably not an easy opponent to defeat, let alone hurt him. Like this.
I am not Harry. I don’t have the aura of the protagonist to protect me. Being able to kill the basilisk, defeat the dementors, and defeat the werewolf is the advantage of knowing myself and the enemy. Facing Peter Pettigrew who is divorced from the original plot and whose strength is unknown, if I still choose Acting rashly is the same as committing suicide.
Schelling put the sleeping Sirius into the suitcase space and hurried to the principal's office.
Although the entrance to the principal's office requires a password, Schelling knew that the portraits and statues throughout the castle were Dumbledore's spies, so there was not much in the castle that could avoid his surveillance. Dumbledore definitely knew that someone was looking for him. of.
Sure enough, Xie Lin waited not long in front of the entrance to the principal's office. The stone winged golem at the entrance seemed to have received some kind of instruction and automatically moved aside, revealing the entrance behind it. Schelling knew that this was Dumbledore's cue to invite him in, so he stepped directly onto the entrance stairs.
In Dumbledore's office, Schelling took Sirius out of the suitcase space and told the principal that he accidentally met the unconscious wanted criminal Sirius in the Forbidden Forest, and brought him to the principal for processing.
The principal looked at Xie Lin's suitcase with interest, then looked at the unconscious Sirius meaningfully, and said faintly: "Xie Lin, you are really a student who surprises me!"
Sherrin didn't think too much about what Dumbledore meant by his words, but he hurriedly said: "Headmaster, it's not my credit for catching Black. I just happened to meet him. I think Black's matter is not what it seems. It’s so simple, are we going to find out who injured him so seriously?”
Dumbledore used his wand to release a healing spell that Sherrin had never seen before, and Sirius' body gradually recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After Sirius woke up and saw Dumbledore present, he did not dare to make a mistake at all, so he had to tell the story of how he had been imprisoned for his grievances, how he escaped from prison in the form of Animagus, and how he came out to seek revenge on Pettigrew. What happened in the end? He was attacked by Peter Pettigrew in the Forbidden Forest and was seriously injured. He gave a complete explanation.
Dumbledore didn't seem to be much surprised. He had already suspected about the incident twelve years ago and that Peter Pettigrew was still alive in the world. The only missing part was that he didn't expect that Peter Pettigrew was actually Ron's mouse. Spots. Now that he knows this clue, he can connect all the truth.
Dumbledore quickly summoned Professor Lupine, and Lupine quickly accepted the whole thing. After all, the whole thing was not difficult to guess, not to mention that he had recently turned into a werewolf because of the Wolfsbane potion, so it must be It was the work of Peter Pettigrew.
Originally, the rest of the matter could be left to these adults. Schelling politely resigned, but was retained by Dumbledore.
Dumbledore's eyes flashed sharply, and he asked Sherlin: "Shellin, what do you think about this matter?"
Xie Lin was stunned for a moment and replied: "What do you think? Professor, since you think Mr. Black is innocent, then we only need to find Banban and confront him. Not only can the truth be revealed, but Mr. Black can also be cleared. "
Dumbledore continued to ask: "You have so many good ideas, can you help us think about how to find Scabbers?"
Xie Lin thought carefully for a while and replied: "Banban is too small and is good at digging holes and burrowing into the ground, so it is not easy to find. For now, we can only use the method of luring the snake out of the hole. Banban must know that Mr. Black is not dead, so as long as If we can expose the hidden traces of Mr. Black's serious injury, and use Mr. Black as bait, Banban will definitely take action again."
A few people discussed it and started to arrange it.
