Ancient wizards return to Hogwarts

Chapter 174 Les: Daphne, you are a true Gryffindor (Happy New Year!)

The report on the second page of the Daily Prophet recorded that Dumbledore used an extremely powerful curse to burn several dark wizards with evil intentions to ashes last night. It is said that the fire burned for a quarter of an hour, and countless visitors witnessed it with their own eyes. Dumbledore burned those men at the stake.

Such methods naturally attracted criticism, but there were also many people who supported Dumbledore. After all, these people are trying to sneak into Hogwarts, and no one can tell what they want to do.

While Astoria was reading the newspaper, Daphne was also looking at her. She was considering whether to erase her sister's memory, because the more people knew about it, the greater the risk.

But after thinking for a moment, she gave up the idea. After all, Astoria is his sister, and his affairs are not really important secrets, so why should he attack his sister for this?

The weight of her sister and Malfoy in her heart was different.

Astoria was completely unaware, just sitting and watching the news with great interest, and occasionally complaining to her sister about the overestimation of these dark wizards.

Then she suddenly realized something.

Sister, why did Les leave? Is it because of these dark wizards?

Daphne pursed her lips: The white-haired girl has quite a keen sense!

So what if it is, so what if it isn't, his whereabouts have nothing to do with you.

After hearing her sister's answer, Astoria's cheeks suddenly puffed up. Her sister's answer almost made it clear that Les's departure was related to the dark wizard who invaded the school, but this matter had nothing to do with her, Astoria.

But I also learned magic from Les, and I should have the right to know his whereabouts! Maybe I can be of some help? Astoria argued.

Seeing her sister's furious look, Daphne instantly became happy. At this moment, her heart was filled with a sense of superiority, completely forgetting that she was kept in the dark by Les in the first place. If she wasn't careful enough and didn't expose the disguise, there would be no difference between her and Astoria at this moment.

A smile leaked from the corner of Daphne's lips. She smiled and said to Astoria: This is not something you should know. I have Les to help him solve the problem. I am the person he trusts most, otherwise why would it be me? Where is the control of the fake body?

Astoria's face turned visibly red.

Okay, it's getting late, I have to go to class. Les, it's time to go. After finding enough sense of superiority from her sister, Daphne stood up from the armchair and went to class with the avatar.

At first, Daphne was a little worried about the Les fake being in trouble during class, but the capabilities of the fake were beyond her imagination. He can cast simple spells on his own, and perhaps complex problems require Daphne to take over control. However, after a day of class, he did not encounter any problems that were judged as complex by the avatar.

Daphne finished her dinner and walked into the library with the avatar. Not long after the two people sat down, Les appeared. He sat down next to Daphne and let out a long sigh of relief.

Although the three bases controlled by Vigo are all located in North Africa, they are still very far from each other. In addition to the base in Egypt, there are two other bases, one next to the Persian Gulf and the other next to the Atlantic Ocean. The two places are thousands of kilometers apart. Rice also needs to remove those informants who have single-line communication with Vigo. After all this trouble, even Les was a little overwhelmed.

You're back? So soon?! Daphne was quite surprised, and a little panicked at the same time: What she did in the morning shouldn't be exposed, right? Astoria is not here, and Malfoy has his memory wiped...well, there will definitely be no problem!

Daphne regained her confidence.

Les glanced at Daphne and did not do anything else. Instead, he first changed the face of the avatar sitting opposite him to prevent others from bumping into the two Les.

How was your harvest? Daphne couldn't wait to know what Les had done.

Three dens were destroyed and a large number of informants were caught by following the clues, but not much valuable information was obtained. Les did not hide too much from Daphne in this regard. First, he felt that the little girl should know some information about the Secret Order - it was still too early to contact and fight, but it was never too early to understand and know ourselves and the enemy. The second reason was that he sensed the arrival of Ravenclaw, so he simply told her here to avoid having to go to the dungeon and say it again.

The only valuable thing is this, which is related to the whereabouts of Helga Hufflepuff, one of the four founders. Les took out the small copper cup.

After the words were spoken, Les felt Ravenclaw's urgency. Her figure emerged from the bookshelf behind Daphne, staring intently at the copper cup on the table. Daphne's energy was completely absorbed by the wonderful little cup in front of her, and she didn't notice Ravenclaw's appearance at all.

It can be seen that Ravenclaw is very concerned about the whereabouts of his old friend, and Daphne is also extremely curious about the founder whose whereabouts are unknown.

Unfortunately, it's a very indirect clue... I only know that she once visited the tomb of a certain pharaoh. As soon as Les finished speaking, Ravenclaw disappeared.

She also understood that this level of intelligence could only be a comfort at best, and it was almost impossible to rely on it to find the whereabouts of Hufflepuff.

So this cup can really turn water into wine? The function of the copper cup reminded Daphne of a well-known person among Muggles.

It used to be possible, but it's damaged now. Les gave a demonstration to Daphne. The clear spring water turned into a sour, black liquid after turning around in it.

Even the damaged copper cup still aroused Daphne's great interest. She took the cup into her hand and turned it over and over.

By the way, do you know that the prosthetic body has a 'retrospective' function? Looking at Daphne who was immersed in the copper cup, Les seemed to inadvertently introduce the hidden function of the prosthetic body to Daphne.

Gah?! The smile on Daphne's face disappeared, and she almost jumped up in shock.

According to the law of conservation of smiles, the smile on Daphne's face transferred to Les's face.

It seems like you don't know. Come on, let me show you. Les stood up, came to the dummy, and put his hands on its shoulders.

No, no... Daphne shook her head weakly, but she didn't know what reason to find to stop Les.

Daphne's performance almost said I have a problem written on her face, which made Les a little curious about what Daphne did to her fake body.

So he simply used the backtracking function.

Les, bring me breakfast.

Les, feed me breakfast.

Les,...

A series of instructions came out of the fake mouth, leaving Les silent for a long time.

Daphne, you are a true Gryffindor!

Finally, Rice let out a heartfelt sigh.
