Natural Magic at Hogwarts

Chapter 224 Bree knows about the blood curser

"Nagini?" Tom recognized the snake at a glance and said her name.

"Tom, you know her?"

Bree looked at the green python hiding in the grass, and a surge of magic power surged up and caught the python.

"My Odd memory stopped when I was 16 years old. She was a student at Hogwarts at that time and was brought back by Dumbledore." Tom said in a tone that was slightly sighing after not seeing her for a long time.

"I met her once, a very beautiful Indonesian girl."

"Because the magic turned into a snake."

Nagini's huge snake body twisted in the air, but soon, she seemed to be stuck in a branch and could not move.

"Hiss!" Familiar, Voldemort...

"Voldemort?" Tom looked at Nagini in surprise. It seemed that this girl had met her 16-year-old self.

Bree, who understands snake language, also understood the message in Nagini's words.

"Hiss, hiss..." Comfortable...

Nagini looked at Bree with kind black vertical eyes, trying to get closer.

Brie waved her hand, and a burst of magic sent Nagini up.

"Hiss..." Your name is Nagini?

"Hiss!" Yes.

"I think she understands human language, Bree." Tom looked at Bree with interest, but did not stop Nagini's approach, because Nagini's mind was too simple and he only heard her snake language. , Tom can understand that just like a beast, the expression of emotions is very direct.

"Oh, sorry." Bree smiled, and touched Nagini's snake head. The cold touch was good, but Nagini's body was covered with small scratches, and it seemed that she was on her way.

"Where are you going, Nagini?"

Nagini rubbed comfortably under Bri's palm, and Snake Nobuko touched Bri's wrist happily, feeling the breath on Bri's wrist.

"Okay." Tom squinted and opened Nagini's head. Nagini wanted to bite, but Tom pinched the snake's jaw vigorously and threw it to the ground beside him.

"Tom, I'm asking Nagini a question." Brie looked at Tom without knowing why, squatted down and rubbed Nagini's head, comforting: "Ignore him."

The natural magic power slowly poured into Nagini's body from Bree's hand, and a flash of light flashed across Nagini's eyes, which soon disappeared again.

"Hiss." Voldemort, look for him.

"Can you sense where he is?"

"Hiss..." Can...

Nagini's intelligence is very low, and she cannot speak clearly. She can only simply utter one or two words of information. Just like the original basilisk, she is full of animality. However, unlike the dark creation of the basilisk, Nagini Very close to Brie, even Nagini has brutal power within her.

Bree used the natural magic to lay down on Nagini's snake body, and soon saw... a sleeping black-haired woman with tears hanging from her closed eyes, her body was entwined with dense blood-red curse marks, bound into a She looked like a giant snake, and those blood spells penetrated her body. She seemed to be used to it, and her face was filled with sadness.

This is the girl Tom was talking about, and she is also Nagini's soul, but there is something more in the soul, a ball of Voldemort's black energy, which allows Voldemort to connect with Nagini. It is very weak and cannot be used by Voldemort. Magic forcibly controls a simple beast like Nagini.

"Nagini, if Voldemort or I, who would you rather follow?" Bree traced the scales on Nagini's forehead. This scale was larger than the rest, and it was faintly emitting a reddish light.

"Hiss..." No...I don't know Voldemort.

Nagini's pupils flashed a red light, and Bree could clearly feel the black energy left by Voldemort in Nagini's soul dissipated.

"Then, just follow me for now, Nagini." He originally wanted Nagini to take him to find Voldemort, but it seemed that he couldn't.

"Hiss..." OK.

Nagini was exuding joyful emotions, lying lazily at Bree's feet and silently enjoying Bree's natural magic. Even Tom's sharp murderous gaze couldn't make her move half of her tail. Voldemort...Sorry, she really didn't want to know who it was, her snake brain couldn't accommodate a second close person.

"Rather than raising a snake, I would rather eat python soup at night." Tom said jokingly, and then seemed to think of it inadvertently.

"I remember that Nagini had a boyfriend at the time, but because he was an Obscurial, he later died."

"This is not a lucky snake..."

Tom looked confused, trying to remember the bad things about Nagini.

"If I guessed correctly, she is a blood curser. She was a human before. She can use the power of blood to change, just like animagus. However, with the power of blood, she will lose her humanity and become irreversibly a blood curse. s life."

Seeing that Bree didn't show the proper disgust, Tom narrowed his eyes and said:

"And she has a good relationship with Dumbledore."

"Tom, stop talking."

Brie seemed to have seen the aura on Nagini's body before.

Astoria Greengrass, but Bree would not rashly use magic to test others, so he didn't see Astoria's problem.

"I've also seen blood cursers in books. They are very similar to silent ones, but one is because of the blood in the body, and the other is because of the out-of-control magic power."

Brie touched Nagini's head. She liked the feeling.

"Don't you like snakes, Tom? I thought you would."

"Maybe I liked it before, and she's not just a snake." Tom still didn't want Bree to raise Nagini.

"Tom, don't worry, it's just the Blood Curse."

Bree recalled the records of the Blood Curse——

"Bloodcursors are also called bloodcursed orcs."

"The ancestors of wizards were originally ordinary people, but in order to obtain the qualifications to learn magic, they took risks and combined with magical creatures to give birth to descendants with magical powers contaminated by magical creatures. However, the human blood of these descendants cannot suppress the blood of magical creatures. Let them become blood cursers. They are a group of people who have magic power but are destroyed by the blood in their bodies. At a certain age, the human blood is overwhelmed and they will completely become beasts in the blood, losing their humanity and forgetting everything."

"This is like a curse that will always exist in the blood of wizards. Even if the blood of human wizards has been enough to suppress the blood of these beasts for thousands of years, atavism will still occur and blood cursers will be born."

Tom naturally also knew the records of the blood cursers. He frowned, because this was the unbearable past of wizards. Think about it, those wizards with the blood of trolls, who knows what great things their ancestors did to have them. , and Nagini...

"Amazing wizard." Tom sighed. He didn't want to admit this hidden wizard history at all.

Fortunately, there is another theory for the origin of wizards, which is much cleaner than that of blood wizards.

"Slytherin's ancestor is a water-based mage, a very ancient magic system, which is very different from a great wizard."

After saying that, Tom stopped the topic and changed the topic: "Let's take a look at the gym first. Don't let Muggles discover this place, otherwise those purebloods will find a chance."

"Ha..." Bree chuckled and nodded, then continued: "We can let the Ministry of Magic do the security work. We just need to pay some Galleons and give Fudge enough face, such as being the opening master of ceremonies and award presenter. This is Something we don’t like, isn’t it?”

"Well, I plan to do the same." Tom looked at Bree and smiled, but he pretended not to see Nagini under Bree. Anyway, it was just a python that could not change back.

"Hiss..."

Bree threw her wand out and landed at the door of the gymnasium. In an instant, a wave of emerald green magic spread out, and the wand grew into a giant tree in the wind, nestling beside the gymnasium.

"Your magic is getting harder and harder for wizards to understand, Bree."

"Obviously this is still a Muggle expulsion spell, but..."

Tom waved his wand and lifted up a piece of land. He saw the densely crisscrossed tree roots underneath, shackling the entire land and blocking the atmosphere here, causing Muggles to subconsciously ignore this place and stay away from it.

"Can it break a wizard's neck?"

Bree didn't answer Tom, it was all in the dark. He would not put his trust in the pure blood's impulsive temperament. If they dared to touch the Ode family's first world-class appearance, then don't blame him.

"I will take Nagini back to the manor first. "Fundamentals of Natural Magic" is already in the final stage. After that, I need to invite a few professors to the manor to take a look."

"Maybe we should hold a banquet belonging to the Oded family." Tom put his arm around Bree's shoulders and whispered: "We can invite some purebloods and let them see Oded's power."

Bree raised her eyes and thought for a moment, then slowly shook her head.

"Next time, after the natural magic is officially announced, everyone will know about Oude's power."

Tom smiled softly and said, "It's up to you."

"I will just focus on the Fantasy Game World Cup for the next while. You should stay at the manor and have a comfortable vacation."

"Well, actually going to Hogwarts is much easier than being at home, Tom."

Bree smiled helplessly and opened the teleportation circle.

"Let's go, Nagini."

As Bree passed through the magic circle and returned to Ode Manor, several paper cranes also flew out of the manor, some flew to Hogwarts, some flew to the remote ancient tree fairy secret realm, and some flew to We arrived at the outskirts of the village of Elvaston in Derbyshire, which was also a gathering area for wizards, with several Hogwarts professors and wizard families living here and there.

……

"Professor McGonagall..."

Outside the greenhouse outside Hogwarts Castle, Professor Sprout smiled and welcomed Professor McGonagall into her cabin in the greenhouse. However, when her eyes glanced at McGonagall's slightly nervous expression, she was a little nervous. He said in a joking tone: "This is the first time we have received an invitation from the little wizard, and it is the whole holiday."

"I think we can't stay in the office and the greenhouse all the time. Snape has traveled far away when we haven't seen him. We can't like to be alone more than he does, haha."

A complicated look flashed in Professor McGonagall's eyes.

Of course, there are still some expectations.

But she still insisted: "I just want to read the "Basics of Natural Magic" mentioned in Brie's letter. I don't think much about his invitation to stay in the manor he just built..."

"Oh, okay Mag, let's go there quickly. Even for the book, we can't keep Bree waiting for a long time."

Professor Sprout pulled Professor McGonagall through the fireplace in the greenhouse, and in a blink of an eye he arrived at Oude's shop in Hogsmeade Village. Ver greeted the two professors.

"Please enter Oude Manor from here. For the sake of the tranquility of the manor, we have not installed a floo network."

"Oh, this is very old. It's something done by some conservative old families." Sprout joked and looked at a stone wall in the shop. There were some magic words on it, which were the magic of teleportation.

"It's good to travel through the past." Faner said excitedly, spitting sparks.

This was his first time entertaining guests.

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Ver." Ver's reputation began to be remembered by the outside world along with the fantasy game. Professor Sprout and Professor McGonagall were already in the mouths of the young wizards when they were at Hogwarts. Heard about it.

"Wait, I'm sorry, I'm a little late." Professor Flitwick was holding a one-year-old little ancient tree elf, with shame on his face, but his eyes were full of happiness. He said sheepishly: "Arnold Because Si has to attend the meeting of the ancient tree fairies, I have to take Fanny with me..."

On the other side, a paper crane flew on the outskirts of the village of Elvaston in Derbyshire. Soon, it found its target, which was a large house shrouded in a Muggle expulsion curse.

"flutter!"

"Grandma, there's something outside the window." In the attic, Neville pointed to the closed window and saw paper cranes hitting the glass constantly.

The old woman Longbottom frowned. She was surrounded by tables filled with potion ingredients. Among them, a heart soaked in the solution was beating loudly. The old woman was also staring at it, her head Without turning around, he said: "Neville, don't let it bother Professor Snape."

Snape was brewing potions at the operation table next to him. He looked out the window casually, narrowed his narrow eyes, and said coldly: "Let her in, it's a letter from Ode."

"Odd!" Neville exclaimed, then clumsily pushed open the window, grabbed the paper crane, and ran towards Snape.

Mrs. Longbottom was stunned. Of course she knew Bree.

As soon as Neville came home, he took out the hippogriff's heart, which scared her. She was afraid that Neville had done something bad. But after hearing Neville explain everything, she became silent and became excited. , even after making the potion, the pressure you have to face has already been found.

"Neville, stop." Mrs. Longbottom came to her senses and immediately stopped Neville's movements and stopped him.

Neville's face turned red and he stuttered: "Sorry grandma, I'm too excited. I'll stay away from the crucible now."

Neville handed the paper crane to Mrs. Longbottom, and then the paper crane came into Snape's hands.

"Invite... "Basics of Natural Magic"?"

Snape snorted and put the paper crane into the wizard's robe pocket.

"Please write a letter to Oude, and I will visit you later."

"The address is Hogsmeade Village, Old's Shop."

Mrs. Longbottom nodded and said, "Neville, go ahead."

Neville responded and hurriedly went downstairs.

At this time, Mrs. Longbottom said, "You seem to have a good relationship with the Ode family."

"Not bad, maybe." Snape had no idea of ​​chatting here. He said: "The heart of the Hippogriff, has the old lady thought of how to solve it? The Ministry of Magic is still looking for the murderer. If it is Longbottom If a couple appears abnormal, they will inevitably be suspected.”

Old Mrs. Longbottom's face was solemn. She understood what Snape said. This matter had brought shame on the Ministry of Magic, and Fudge would not let it go easily.

"As long as my son and daughter-in-law can be cured, Longbottom can pay the price that the Ministry of Magic is satisfied with."

Snape pursed his lips.

"This potion can't cure them, it can only make them sleep comfortably, forever."

"That's enough." Old Mrs. Longbottom said tiredly: "That's enough..."
