Hogwarts: From Squibs to Greatness

Chapter 63 Destruction
1992年7月4日晚上20:00，塞尔温家族。

In the dim study room, flickering lights cast shadows on the wall.

The haggard Baldwin's face was full of madness, like an ignorant savage, without the demeanor of the former aristocrats.

Whether it was to appease the werewolves or deal with those Ministry of Magic officials who were like blood-sucking bugs, it made him physically and mentally exhausted.

But he didn't care about this kind of exhaustion now. At this moment, he forced himself to lie down on the table, holding a magic wand and facing the gemstone pendant in front of him, constantly casting spells.

But no matter how he attacked the pendant with a spell, the pendant was not affected at all.

After being punished by his master, Baldwin sent people to investigate everything related to John. Naturally, the people he sent learned a lot about John from the little wizard in Slytherin.

Among them is the gem pendant. According to a big mouth in Gryffindor, he heard the youngest son of the Weasley family say that the pendant can release protective magic to protect the wearer when there is danger.

Thinking that that little bastard could actually create such an alchemy item, Baldwin hated John extremely. Obviously, this alchemy item could become the heritage of their family and one of the powers of the master in the future, but now it is all destroyed.

Since John doesn't know what is good and is unwilling to return to the family, Baldwin will not let John become the helper of Dumbledore and Harry, the savior.

So after the house-elves in the family said that Miranda also had such a jeweled pendant, he let the house-elves steal it.

He wants to find a way to destroy this gemstone pendant, who knows how many such pendants that little bastard gave away.

Find a way to crack it now, and when the master returns, this is also a credit to the master.

At the same time, just to be on the safe side, he arranged the conflict last night to stir up the conflict between the Death Eaters and the werewolf, intending to use this conflict to fish in troubled waters to "manslaughter" Miranda, so as to anger that little bastard, so that the other party's impulsive Came to the manor to seek revenge on him.

At that time, once the other party steps into the ambush he arranged, Jieshi can not only remove the shame of this family, completely cut off the appearance of this gem pendant, but also make the master realize his loyalty and ability again.

I didn't expect the curse set by that little bastard to be so powerful. Anyone who tried to attack Miranda with the help of conflict would instantly faint and fall to the ground.

The result was still in the conflict, and the flying "stray bullet" hit Miranda's arm, causing her to be injured.

What made him even more unexpected was that the conflict last night caused a real fire between the two parties, causing too much commotion, which alarmed the Ministry of Magic and also attracted reporters from the "Daily Prophet".

He couldn't stop this incident from being reported. He guessed that the little bastard must be thinking of a way to save his mother and take revenge on the family by the way.

So after those Ministry of Magic officials left, he stepped up the patrol of the manor to prevent that little bastard from taking Miranda away quietly.

At the same time, he also notified his men in the United States to transfer the mother and child to the safe house. He did not forget the threat of the little bastard, and now he would not think that the other party could not do it.

After releasing the spell again and hitting the gemstone pendant in front of him, but it still had no effect, Baldwin looked a little out of breath.

But just as he took a few deep breaths and was about to continue the experiment, the door of the study was pushed open. Before he could get angry, he heard the butler's terrified voice.

"Master, it's not good, he's dead! They're all dead!"

With a frightened expression on his face, Baldwin rushed out of the study and was led by the butler to the hall.

At this moment in the hall, many Death Eaters were standing or sitting, and they all bore many traces of battles. In the center of the hall, dozens of corpses were placed side by side.

There were Death Eaters, there were werewolves, and even Selwyn saw the dead house-elf.

"What's going on here!" Selwyn asked, grabbing the butler's collar in a panic
"Master, the patrol outside the manor fired red sparks just now. When I arrived with my men, I found that the patrol team had all been wiped out."

"But just as we were about to inspect the scene and the corpse, a group of black wolves attacked us."

"At first we thought these black wolves were just ordinary wild beasts, but when we hit them with a spell, we discovered that these black wolves are magical animals. They can split after being hit, just like the civet cats of the Ministry of Magic!"

"At that time, I took a total of ten people and sacrificed seven of them before I escaped back."

"I summoned everyone at the first time, and it turned out...the result is now like this..."

Baldwin let go of his hand in horror, and took two steps back. He suddenly felt dizzy. It was the butler who noticed his strangeness and immediately supported Baldwin so that he did not fall down.

But just when he was about to say something, he saw an apparition around the butler, and a blood-stained house-elf appeared in front of them, clutching his arms.

"Kuu Kou has something urgent to report to the master. Mrs. Miranda was taken away silently. Kou Kou led people to chase, but was attacked by wolves!"

The housekeeper and Baldwin really felt a biting chill at this moment, they all guessed whose handwriting it was, and it seemed that they all underestimated the child.

"Quick! Take me out of here!"

As if thinking of something, Baldwin grabbed Kou Kou's arm, trying to make the other party apparate and take him away.

Hearing what Baldwin said, Kou Kou nodded, raised her hand and snapped her fingers, but nothing happened.

In an instant, Baldwin's face was as pale as death, and he seemed to realize that any means of escape are useless now.

Sure enough, in the next second everyone heard the grand and ancient chanting sound coming from outside.

Baldwin rushed out of the gate with the remaining Death Eaters and the butler, and saw John above his head with dragon wings on his back, suspended in mid-air, holding the Raven Circle and chanting.

Everyone could feel the almost terrifying fluctuations of magic power in the air, and the almost condensed killing intent swam around them.

The starry sky above his head also seemed to become bright and dangerous because of the unknown magic at this moment.

When death does come, everyone is treated equally.

"John, please, I am your father, let me go, let me go!" Baldwin immediately knelt on the ground and begged John to let him live.

Unfortunately, it was impossible for John to agree to this almost absurd request. John ignored Baldwin who kept kowtowing to him and continued to chant the spell.

Such an attitude completely shattered the last bit of luck in Baldwin's heart. His forehead was already dripping with blood because of prostration, but he didn't care. He pointed at John hanging in the sky and cursed him, cursing him with the most vicious language.

As for the others, they began to think of ways to escape when Baldwin knelt down.

It's not that they didn't think about attacking John directly to solve this life-and-death crisis from the root.

However, as long as they aimed their wands at John, an almost terrifying coercion would be exerted on them, directly smashing their defenses. They could not raise the desire to kill John, and only had the idea of ​​surrender.

After finding that they could not attack John, they began to try to cast a spell to escape from here, but the apparition completely failed. After realizing that the anti-apparition spell was cast around them, they scattered and fled directly, trying to escape the anti-apparition spell. shrouded range.

John looked down on everything below like a merciless god.

"The heavens are furious!Annihilate all evil! 』

As the last mantra was recited, a strong sense of crisis oppressed everyone's heart.

Birds flew in fright, animals ran away, and all creatures in this area were trying their best to survive.

John took one last look, Baldwin who was still scolding him like a lunatic, and then the dragon wings flapped, and in an instant John rose into the sky and disappeared from his vision.

What followed was streams of fire falling from the sky.

I saw huge meteorites shining brightly under the friction of the air, and then bombarded the land of the manor with the mighty force of nature.

In an instant, a huge shock wave spread to the surroundings, and dense meteorites bombarded the land. Whether it was the castle that the Selwyn family had survived for generations, or the well-manicured gardens and grasslands, they were all buried by this meteorite rain.

In the end, the meteorites in the sky stopped falling, and everything in the Selwyn family was wiped out in this almost terrifying magic...

On the morning of July 1992, 7, on the magic train bound for France.

I saw several wizards gathered together, discussing the news on the "Daily Prophet" page.

And sitting next to them, a red-haired teenager was also reading a newspaper in his hand.

'A natural disaster or a man-made disaster?Meteor shower destroys Selwyn family'

'At 20:15 last night, the Selwyn family estate was destroyed by a meteorite shower'

It is reported that more than double-digit corpses were found in the ruins of the manor. After Auror investigation, these corpses existed before the meteorite rain, and there were different injuries on these corpses. The preliminary investigation was all caused by magic. '

'And the identities of these corpses are still Death Eaters and werewolves, and the body of Baldwin Selwyn, the head of the Selwyn family, was also found among them. '

'It is not yet clear whether this meteorite rain was caused by a coincidence or by magic, but it is certain that before the meteorite rain destroyed the Selwyn Family Manor, someone killed inside the manor in advance. '

"In this regard, the Ministry of Magic has not yet investigated the identity of the murderer. Our reporters will continue to investigate the incident..."

John put down the newspaper in his hand, listened to the discussion around this matter, and smiled in his heart.

No one would have guessed that the murderer of last night's tragedy would be a Hogwarts student.

And the meteor shower that destroyed Selwyn Manor yesterday was magic from Howl's world, and the people from the Ministry of Magic couldn't find anything.

Dumbledore must have guessed that the meteorite rain was caused by John, but he did not ask about the origin of the magic, but offered to exchange terms with John after John went back last night.

Dumbledore signed the Loyalty Charm with him to ensure that his affairs would not be revealed.

In exchange, John must ensure that unless necessary, he will not easily cast a powerful war magic like last night.

The killing caused by such magic is too serious, and it will easily cause panic in the wizarding world.

Dumbledore knew the Ministry of Magic too well, and he didn't want John to be forced by the Ministry of Magic to become the third-generation Dark Lord because of this kind of magic, which would cause even greater damage.

He didn't think he could stop John in the future.

John naturally did not refuse this, and agreed to Dumbledore's conditions.

John knew that Dumbledore was doing this for the stability of the wizarding world. This old man who was over a hundred years old was no longer the young man who confronted Grindelwald head-on.

For the sake of stability, he was even willing to lock himself in the prison called Hogwarts and accept the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Magic.

The great White Demon King is willing to exchange goodwill for John's promise, and John will naturally not refuse the old man's request.

So John and Dumbledore, under the witness of Miranda, cast the Charm of Loyalty, and the keeper of the secret was Miranda.

Unless John's mother Miranda took the initiative to tell all this, even Dumbledore would not be able to tell the specific situation.

Now everything has been settled, so John, as agreed with Dumbledore, after saying goodbye to his mother Miranda, got on the train to France to visit the legendary master of alchemy, Nick Flamel.
