Natural Magic at Hogwarts

Chapter 162 Soul Eater

On the first day of school, Bree rested in the courtyard outside London.

Tom also lived here during this time, and Bree planned to let Nico stay here until they found a place where the family could live.

"You remember what happened last night. To find a secluded place in England, we can ask Mr. Nico Flamel for help. He is very experienced in seclusion. As the family's old residence, I don't want anyone to be able to find it. Whatever you find.”

Bree said to Tom before going out. Val was already in Bree's pocket. As for Nico, he pretended to be a doll and was held by Bree.

Over the past year, Nico has also grown a bit, reaching the size of a baby's forearm.

"Don't be so vigilant. I used the Ignore Charm. Ordinary people won't notice you, Nico." Brie rubbed Nico's little head, making Nico chuckle. Tom on the side was thinking. Quickly said: "I will look for it after I go to Hogsmeade Village to discuss renting a shop. When the time comes, I will have the owl deliver a message to you as soon as possible. Don't worry."

Tom often went out during this period to attend some gatherings, mostly held by the owners of some shops, and a few small pure-blood families were also there. This was a stepping stone, and it was also from here that Tom found a place to rent in Hogsmeade Village. The shop's contacts.

"Well, you made your plan, so I'll do as you said. My task now is to study." After walking out of the door, they quickly got on the short-distance train to London and arrived at King's Cross not long after. station.

"Walk."

Looking at the pillar in front, Bree and Tom quickly passed through it.

"Woooooo!"

The Hogwarts Express whistled in front, and there were many little wizards around, but most of them were talking to their parents.

"It's still early, Bree."

When Bree wasn't paying attention, Tom rubbed his hair and complained: "Do you want to say goodbye to us first? I won't be able to wait for you to officially come home until Christmas."

Tom's eyes darkened, and he helped Bree straighten her clothes and said, "Perhaps you can use the notes to come back at any time, but be careful, Hogwarts Castle is not that simple. When it fully wakes up, the notes may lose its effect. , it's intelligent, dear Bree, and now it's just not awakened by Dumbledore."

"Are you worried that the turret is not safe, Tom?"

Bree looked at Tom. It was obvious that Tom knew a lot about Hogwarts, which might be helpful to Bree.

"Do you know the treasures of the Big Four? It can't really be a legend, right?"

"Treasure?"

With a smile in his eyes, Tom whispered: "There are no treasures at all in Hogwarts."

"Yes, it's the inheritance left by the four giants. They don't like gold and silver wealth."

Bree squinted her eyes, stared at Tom, and said impatiently: "Tell me quickly, don't play riddles."

"Haha." Tom laughed and replied: "Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets, in his mouth, is where the Chamber of Secrets is. You can go and see it later, but I hope you don't believe anything in it... "

"The things that Slytherins and others studied in the second half of their lives have gone beyond what exists in the wizarding world. You may seem confused."

Tom laughed again and sneered: "Slytherin must be an old fool and left Hogwarts alone after hearing a piece of false news."

Tom didn't continue to talk about this topic, he just said: "You will know when you go. As for the password, I think you can guess it. It's in the book "Slytherin Secrets" last year."

"Woooooooo..."

Just as Bree and Tom were saying this, Bree felt something whimpering under her footsteps.

He took a look.

"It turns out it's you, big black dog."

Bree asked strangely: "How did you get in... You are also in Diagon Alley. Is it a wandering magical creature?"

"Attention everyone, guard separately!"

At this time, a group of Aurors walked in from outside the nine and three-quarter pillars. A man who looked like the Auror Captain directed the other Aurors. Bree vaguely heard them talking about the Soul Eater.

"Woooo!"

The big black dog next to Bree leaned closer to Bree. When the Aurors walked past Bree, the big black dog stopped and left silently.

"Brie, there may be something wrong with this dog." Tom noticed something was wrong at a glance, but he couldn't tell.

"Some wizards will join forces with magical animals to do things that are beyond the rules. Bree, this dog was just using you to avoid the attention of the Aurors, even though young wizards are not allowed to take dogs to Hogwarts. , but obviously this is not the responsibility of the Aurors, they will only treat you as a rebellious little guy."

Tom watched the big black dog sneak onto the train. He raised his lips and said, "It's interesting. Maybe its purpose is to go to Hogwarts."

Bree lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then said: "I have seen it in Diagon Alley before. It is a stray dog. Maybe it is looking for its owner, and this owner is in Hogwarts."

Looking at Tom, they both had no intention of interfering. This was something Dumbledore should handle.

"I'm off then, Tom."

Bree waved to Tom, and then said to Nico: "Don't go crazy, take good care of those flowers. When we find the location of the family house, I will take away the flower beds in the yard outside London. You can do it yourself." Be careful not to lose your temper with Ver."

Bree's notes were carried with her. Now that Nico and the others want to travel between Diagon Alley and the courtyard outside London, they must rely on the Floo Network, which was recently installed by the Floo Network Company.

"Nico will miss you sir."

Ver also came out of Brie's pocket and said, "Don't forget to come back to see us just because you are studying magic. As for sleeping and eating, I don't think I need to tell you."

……

After saying goodbye to Tom and the others, Bree headed to Draco's carriage. It was still early and Draco hadn't arrived yet.

"Dong dong dong..."

"I'm in."

Not long after Bree sat down, Draco's voice came from outside the carriage, but it sounded like Draco was a little unhappy. Maybe who was bullying him?
"Oh, Merlin, Bree, you must not know what happened to me, the youngest daughter of the Greengrass family, and you don't know what she is pestering me for. Is it just because of those stupid words? Really, I don't It's time to go to the Greengrass house for dinner with my mother over the holidays and get all worried."

Draco sat down next to Bree and took out a small box from his pocket. The box quickly became larger. It was a wooden food box. He said, "Try the snacks made by my mother."

"Thank you, I happen to be hungry now." Brie took the snack and ate it slowly.

"Dong dong dong, I can..."

"No, Miss Greengrass." Draco said immediately when he heard the voice: "This place is already full of people. Maybe you should go find Daphne."

But after Draco finished speaking, Astoria Greengrass opened the door. She was wearing a beautiful lady's robe and holding a chocolate snack box in her hand. She looked into the car expectantly. Look, when he saw Draco's stinky face, he lowered his head nervously, but he quickly plucked up the courage and slowly walked into the car.

"Oh, it's true." Draco looked at Astoria holding the snacks and mocked unhappily: "What are you doing here? Do you think that my mother said you are cute and you are a good person?" Girl, I just thought I could step into..."

Before Draco could finish speaking, Astoria took the chocolate snack and handed it to Bree, who was eating the snack Draco gave him, and shyly whispered: "I just saw you. Yes, I heard that you like to eat, so I brought some snacks for you, Ode."

"I learned this from my mother. She praised the chocolate lemon candy I made as delicious. You can try it."

Bree smelled the fragrance of lemon and the sweet taste of chocolate on the tip of his nose. He thought that maybe he could give it a try.

"Thank you, Miss Greengrass."

Bree took the snack and thanked her, and Astoria said hurriedly: "You can call me Astor."

Astoria lowered her head shyly, and hurried out before Bree could say anything, and got into the noisy train corridor.

"Oh, you can call me Ass... you say so, Bree."

Draco snorted and closed the door of the carriage, hoping to block out some of the commotion outside. He didn't know who had done something big again. Could it be that Potter turned into a girl again?

At the end of the semester, Snape hesitantly took out the potion and transformed Harry and Ron back to their original selves. They no longer had to drag their long hair every day and doubt their lives when taking a shower at night.

Draco sat next to Bree and pulled the chocolate lemon candy from Bree's hand.

"Don't eat what little girls give you randomly. You must know that there is such a thing as a love potion in this world. It only takes one drop to make you stupidly scream, 'I love you, Ode'. Do you know?"

Draco blushed, threw the snack aside, and prepared to give it to Goyle and Braque later.

Bree leaned helplessly on the soft seat and continued to eat Draco's snacks, making Draco nod in satisfaction.

"That Greengrass is very interesting. You have to know that she has a sister in her family, but for some reason, the head of her family is so doting on her little daughter, which makes Daphne treat her a little strangely."

"The Greengrass family has only two daughters in this generation. I don't know who will inherit the family business. Maybe it will be the youngest daughter. If you marry her, you will definitely change your surname to Greengrass. Bree, you should stay away from her There is no girl from a pure-blood family who is not thoughtful."

"Stop it Draco, I'm not interested in little girls, not to mention I'm only 13 years old." Bree finished the last bite of snacks and put the box aside with unfinished content.

Draco heard Bree's words and said angrily: "Yes, I am 13 years old, but I have already started to look for girls, and so on!"

Speaking of this, Draco said to Bree fiercely: "Did you stuff the photo of Potter into a girl into the envelope and let my mother see it?"

"This is embarrassing. At first, my mother was very happy to find whose girl this is. As long as she is not a Muggle or a poor mixed-blood, she can be considered. But... this is Potter, a boy. .”

Draco collapsed on the sofa and said helplessly: "Do you know how my mother taught me to stay away from Potter? My father also said before that when everyone is smiling at the savior, you must not Treat each other coldly, but now, he also tells me to forget about the savior and study hard, or transfer me to Durmstrang in the north."

"Pfft..." Bree couldn't help laughing, and the voices of Ron and Harry happened to be heard outside.

"Oh, that's cool. I drew a unicorn. This is a magical creature that can bring luck to heroes. Come on, let's go find Hermione. Oded gave her a set of fantasy games. There are cards in it. I got to see the power of unicorns!”

"Ron, slow down, it hurts."

"My hands are red."

In the corridor of the train, Ron pulled Harry and ran quickly. The little wizards on the side were dodging. Percy saw it and shouted for them to stop, but the excited Ron couldn't care so much.

Harry sighed inwardly, but followed his friend anyway.

In the carriage, Draco snorted and said: "Potter, and the red-haired guy, I hope they won't be thrown out when the train starts. We won't let them fly in mid-air this year, those..."

"Woooooo!"

Before Draco could finish his words, the train whistled, a huge roar sounded, the carriage shook, and it quickly started moving towards Hogwarts.

"Brie, don't you know? The Ministry of Magic put the Soul Eaters into Hogwarts because they were worried about Black, and let these emotionless monsters serve as guards!"

"Soul Eaters as guards?"

Bree suddenly realized when she heard Draco's words. It turned out that the Aurors on the platform were talking about this. However, weren't the Soul Eaters originally guarding Azkaban? They were also a kind of torture tool for prisoners. Through It sucks the happiness of the prisoners, leaving them with only pain, making life worse than death, and tortures them day by day.

And the Soul Eater is coming to Hogwarts... This is definitely not good news.

Bree frowned. It seems that this year is not peaceful. The Ministry of Magic obviously took this opportunity to infiltrate Hogwarts, because last year Dumbledore left a handle on the basilisk issue, and Black and Harry relationship, so the Ministry of Magic found an excuse to insert dementors.

"dong dong dong,"

"Brie, are you there?"

It was Hermione's voice.

Draco snorted coldly, opened the door, looked at Hermione and said, "What are you doing here, Granger."

Hermione raised her head and glanced at Draco, then said to the car: "It's about the fantasy game. I want to ask if I can buy some more cards. Ron has drawn the unicorn. I can't beat him now!"

Hermione's expression was a little angry. Her luck was not very good. Among the ten packs of cards that Bree gave her, she didn't draw a high-level card. She could defeat Ron with her wisdom before, but when she was a unicorn As soon as the beast appeared, Hermione was at a disadvantage due to the bonus of luck.

"Oh, you have to wait, we third years can go to Hogsmeade, I think you know that."

It was mentioned on the book list that in third grade, parents can sign a consent form and go to Hogsmeade to do their own things on weekends.

"Hogsmeade, where are you going to open a branch?"

Smart Hermione immediately thought of the meaning of Bree's words, but she couldn't wait to say: "Do you have any good cards in your hand? Give them to me first. I have to teach that arrogant Weasley a lesson."

card?

Bree touched her pocket.

"I only have the one for Draco."

Bree took out the fantasy game and handed it to Draco and said, "It's a gift for the beginning of school. I don't know if you who have been attending parties have heard of it."

Draco glanced reservedly, then took it and said, "I thought you wouldn't give it to me."

Draco gave Hermione an arrogant look and handed over a pack of cards.

"It all depends on your luck, Miss Granger."

Hermione took the card package and thanked awkwardly: "I'll pay you back, Malfoy, but thank you."

Hermione said goodbye and was about to close the carriage door, but at this moment, a gust of cold wind came out, and Bree felt a breath of death drifting towards her, and the surrounding light also became darker, as if being struck by something. It's like covering up the train...
