save the bachelors

Chapter 4110 [Night Star]

During this month, Xiang Nan also learned more about the dark wizards in Knockturn Alley through owl communications with James, Sirius and others, and subscribing to the Daily Prophet.

Those dark wizards had indeed all lost their magic powers and turned into Squibs, so they were easily captured by the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic and were all imprisoned in Azkaban Prison.

After all, considering the crimes they committed, not having their souls sucked away by Dementors was already considered the Ministry of Magic's mercy. However, their final fate was no better than having their souls sucked away by Dementors.

Because after they were imprisoned in Azkaban, they were soon tortured by the Dementors and lost the courage to live. They suffered mental breakdowns, became insane, or chose to commit suicide.

But because of this, no one knows whether they can recover their magic power later.

This made Xiang Nan feel a little regretful.

Because "whether it is possible to regenerate after the magic power is drained by the Wedding Dress Magic" is a topic worth studying.

This is related to the question of the origin of magic, whether it comes from the wizard's bloodline or from external forces.

Although the magic world has existed for thousands of years, wizards still don't have much understanding of the origin of magic and the composition of magic power.

Is magic like the chakra in "Naruto", the product of the fusion of physical energy and spiritual energy; or like the magic in "World of Warcraft", coming from the six powers at the origin of the universe; or like "The Lord of the Rings", magic comes from the gift of the Creator... Until now, there is no accurate statement.

If he could figure out the true nature of magic, he might be able to understand the origin of magic and even be qualified to become a true god.

"After defeating Voldemort in the future, I will definitely study it carefully." Xiang Nan said to himself.

……

On September 1st, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry opened.

Xiang Nan and Lily said goodbye to their parents at home, then took their suitcases and went to the Leaky Cauldron via the Floo Network, and then took a train from the Leaky Cauldron to King's Cross Station.

Passing through the pillars between platforms nine and ten, they entered platform nine and three-quarters, then got on the train and found an empty compartment.

"Severus, it's great to see you." Gregory, Benjamin and others soon came to the carriage, as well as James, Sirius and others.

"My mother almost didn't let me go to school." Gregory said to Xiang Nan.

"Why?" Xiang Nan asked puzzledly, "Is it because of Voldemort?"

"Of course not. No matter how terrible Voldemort is, he wouldn't dare to wreak havoc in Hogwarts." Gregory waved his hand and said, "I'm talking about that mysterious wizard."

"Mysterious wizard?" Lily asked puzzledly.

"Yes, a mysterious wizard who can absorb the magic power of wizards and turn them into squibs." Gregory explained, "No one knows where he came from, and no one knows what he looks like, so everyone is very scared."

"The man who punished the dark wizards in Knockturn Alley?" Lily asked. "Didn't he do a good thing?"

"What he did was indeed good. But no one can guarantee that he will not attack ordinary wizards in the future." Gregory said worriedly, "So everyone is afraid of him. Even the Ministry of Magic is afraid of causing panic among the people, so they have been suppressing the news and dare not report his news. But in fact, this matter cannot be concealed at all. All the wizards living in the magical world know about it." "We all know it too." James said with a hint of fear, "It's terrible, isn't it? He can actually absorb other people's magic power. I don't know how he did it. I think even Voldemort can't do it."

"He might become the most terrible dark wizard." Sirius agreed. "Compared to him, Voldemort seems much more merciful. After all, if I lose my magic power and become a Squib, I would rather die."

"That's right." Gregory agreed.

Xiang Nan scratched his head when he saw them comparing him to Voldemort. "I think that guy is okay. He has always targeted the dark wizards in Knockturn Alley and has no record of attacking ordinary wizards. I think he should be an upright, kind, and reliable person, and we shouldn't think too bad of him."

"I think so too." Lily nodded. "Those dark wizards have done so many bad things. They really should be punished."

She heard from Xiang Nan that those dark wizards would kidnap underage wizards, kill them and use them as materials for casting spells. For this reason alone, they should also be punished.

"But there is a saying in the wizarding world that a warrior who slays a dragon will eventually become a dragon himself." James waved his hand and said, "No one can be sure whether he will only attack dark wizards. What if one day, he attacks ordinary wizards?"

Gregory and Sirius both nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Xiang Nan couldn't help but let out a bitter smile, "Okay, let's stop talking about this, the cart is here, let's buy some food."

……

At nightfall, the Hogwarts Express stopped at Hogsmeade Station.

The first-year students followed Rubeus Hagrid and took a boat to Hogwarts Castle in accordance with the traditional ceremony.

Because the four founders of Hogwarts waded across the Black Lake in a small boat, came to the mountain where Hogwarts is located, and built this castle there.

New students from the second year and above take a carriage from the main gate of the school to Hogwarts.

Xiang Nan noticed that the animal pulling the cart was tall, skinny, and had no flesh on its body. It looked like a horse, but had a head like a dragon. Its body was pitch black, and it had a pair of bat-like wings on its back...

Xiang Nan knew that this was the Night Thestral, a magical creature that could only be seen by people who had experienced death, so it was also considered an ominous thing, but that was not actually the case.

The Thestrals are extremely powerful magical creatures, and as recorded in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, they are listed as dangerous animals by the Ministry of Magic.

Its tail feathers possess powerful magical powers. The Elder Wand in the Deathly Hallows uses the tail feathers of the Thestrals as its core, so its power far exceeds that of ordinary wands.

For example, if an ordinary wand is broken, it cannot be repaired with other wands, but the Elder Wand can be repaired, which shows how powerful it is.

Xiang Nan wanted to pull out a hair from the Thestral tail and make an Elder Wand himself. After all, he had bought a book called "Making and Maintaining a Magic Wand" and a book called "The Natural Way of the Druid" before.

Both books introduce the method of making a magic wand. In fact, making a magic wand is not as difficult as imagined. Any wizard can make a magic wand. The only difference is the quality.

The Ollivander family is famous not because they are the only ones who can make wands, but because it is recognized that their wands are well made. In fact, the Old Wand, one of the Three Deathly Hallows, was made by the Peverell brothers themselves.

However, Xiang Nan didn't do it in the end, because he was afraid of scaring the Night Thestrals, which would cause the carriage to derail. When he tried to make a magic wand and accumulated relevant experience, it would not be too late to pull the Night Thestrals' tail feathers.
