a certain scientific harry potter

These days, Harry has consulted a lot of information on werewolves, and finally found that Lupine's werewolf transformation is different from the werewolves Harry had known in film and television works in his previous life.

It does not originate from blood or curse power, but because the saliva of werewolves contains a special virus.

This kind of virus is not particularly active when a werewolf is in a human state. Therefore, if bitten or scratched by a werewolf in human form, the attacked person will only show some werewolf-like physiological habits, such as liking to eat Raw meat and more.

And if it was bitten by a transformed werewolf on a full moon night, most of the Muggles who were killed would die from serious injuries; Lusophobia and become a werewolf.

In addition, no matter what form of werewolf was bitten, the wound would leave permanent scars, unless the mixture of silver powder and white fresh was applied immediately, the wound could be closed.

It was because Lupine didn't get timely treatment that he left permanent scars on his face...Of course, even if he used white fresh and silver powder, it could only heal the wounds, and it couldn't change his fate of becoming a werewolf.

This 'dire wolf virus', there is currently no medicine that can cure it.

In general, the so-called wolf syndrome is actually very similar to the T virus that Harry had seen in his previous life.

If you are bitten by a werewolf, you will become a werewolf, and if you are bitten by a zombie, you will also become a zombie. However, the contagiousness of this wolf virus is far less powerful than the T virus in the movie.

So... Is it possible that I really have to use modern medical methods to completely treat Lupine?

Isolating the virus, cultivating antibodies, making serum... These steps are not difficult for Harry.

But if he really wanted to successfully produce a serum that could completely eradicate the Dire Wolf virus, apart from some professional instruments, Harry would undoubtedly need to use a large number of experimental subjects.

Animals like rabbits, monkeys, maybe even Fantastic Beasts, and…

A real werewolf!

At that time, someone will definitely accuse Harry of being inhumane, but he can't control that much anymore. This is for Lupine... It is also for the whole of Hogwarts, and Lao Deng, who just killed his teammates!

After roughly sorting out the plan to save Lupine, Harry added the 'werewolf' to the important matters he needed to deal with next.

The reputation of this creature in the wizarding world can be said to be beaten by everyone. The werewolves who have suffered unfair treatment are pitiful, but there are also many of them who violate the law and discipline and deserve to be sentenced to death. It depends on whether Harry can find them. traces of the.

In addition, there is the restoration of human form spell. Now that the LeMays have come to Hogwarts, Harry can also ask them to help study it, maybe it can also solve the urgent problem~

Chapter 340 A certain unlucky ghost wants to make trouble

During the period from after Christmas to New Year's, Harry accompanied his teacher while doing his own research and study. It can be said that he didn't get the relaxation that he should have during the holidays.

Snape had left him a bunch of extra lessons on potions, and Nico Flamel's alchemy course had already started, as well as some spells that Harry had to overcome...

But even so, he didn't say he was too busy to use the Time Converter, so you're not angry~

Hermione: Meow meow!

In fact, in Harry's view, it's okay to choose a few more courses, but the top student girl is purely asking for trouble for herself.

You go to class as soon as you go to class, so why do you do your homework seriously?

Especially for Muggle studies assignments, the professor didn't even know as much as Waldo, and the assignments she assigned were simply unnecessary in Harry's view, but Hermione's writing was so serious~

But when it came to Muggle studies assignments, Harry suddenly remembered that he still owed Professor Bubbaji a thesis.

Hmm... After school starts, I can give her the thesis in the fifth grade class, and then I can talk to her about referring to OWL at the end of the semester.

...

In early January, at the end of the Christmas holiday, Harry gathered all the members of the detective agency except Tonks, and invited Astoria to the office of the agency.

The ghost of Greengrass, which is also one of the focuses of Harry.

When using the Marauder's Map a few times before, Harry inadvertently discovered that the unlucky guy who was stared to death by the basilisk didn't seem to return to Hogwarts just for his two daughters.

That guy...was actually spying on Harry!

And it's not just Harry, Hermione, Luna, even Colin, Will, etc., anyone who has a good personal relationship with Harry in this school, this ghost has appeared near them.

It's just that when the Greengrass sisters, and of course the youngest daughter Astoria Greengrass, were at school, that ghost would often haunt them, instead of always lurking beside Harry and the others. .

interesting…

It just so happened that this time he accepted Astoria's commission, so Harry decided that he might as well find out what secrets this ghost possessed!

"Please take a seat, Miss Greengrass."

After confirming it with the Marauder's Map, Harry found that the ghost was indeed hidden in the floor of the corridor. Harry sneered secretly, and led Astoria into the classroom.

After she was seated, Will also brought her a cup of hot tea at the right time.

"Thank you~" Astoria hurriedly expressed her thanks when she saw this, she looked like a lady from everyone.

"Miss Greengrass, you can talk about your troubles." After everything was settled, Harry officially opened the inquiry.

"Okay... that was not long after I came to Hogwarts, and I suddenly discovered that I often have some strange dreams." After getting Harry's approval, Astoria began to come, "In In my dreams, I can always see my father..."

"Your father, isn't he the former school manager Greenglass?" Hermione's expression turned serious when she heard the words, "It's the one who was killed by the basilisk... sorry."

At that time, facing the basilisk was indeed a great fear for Hermione. Until now, she still couldn't forget the way Greengrass' eyes were wide open when he died.

Luna beside her seemed to have a similar mood, her two light eyebrows were beating inadvertently and quickly.

"That's right, I lost my father about a year ago." Astoria's voice gradually became more distressed, "In fact, in the few months before entering school, I would occasionally dream of my father. , but what I dreamed at that time was basically what my father looked like before he was alive. But after I got to school, the dream about my father became very scary and weird..."

"In the dream, my father seemed to have turned into a terrifying ghost... Sometimes he would pull my shoulders and even try to strangle me by the neck, complaining all the time, saying that I was a useless daughter; but Sometimes, he seems to be in extreme pain again, begging me to save him...Scenes like that have happened so many times, I really don't know what to do! I... Cough! Cough! !"

At the end of the conversation, Astoria suddenly began to cough violently, and his face flushed abnormally.

"An cough." Harry waved his wand hurriedly when he saw this, and cast a medical magic on Astoria that could unblock the trachea.

"Thank you, I feel much better..." The effect of the spell was quite significant, at least Astoria did not cough so violently anymore, but she still seemed a little panting when she spoke.

"Miss Greengrass, are you not feeling well?"

Harry looked carefully at the abnormal expression of the other party, and it was easy to see from his eyes that the girl in front of him was very weak, definitely much worse than ordinary children of the same age.

Except for Weasley, most of the pure-blood families live well, so her situation is unlikely to be acquired, but it is likely to be due to some congenital disease...

"Well... I've actually been in poor health since I was a child. My parents have also sought out many doctors and some well-known wizard friends for help, but it seems that it is difficult to cure." Astoria explained softly, "But it's not easy It's just that I'm weak, and there's nothing serious about it, I was just too anxious just now."

"It's fine~" Harry nodded slightly, and then said seriously, "Then Miss Greengrass, how do you want us to help you? For example... help you get rid of your nightmares completely?"

"If possible...I want to know the specific reason." Astoria gave Harry a careful look, and then said timidly, "I always feel that my father may still be alive, or even become A ghost... Anyway, he should still be with me and my sister! That's why I didn't go home at Christmas time, because I wanted to make sure that I would not continue to have that dream. I wanted to find out... what happened to him What, why is it so painful in my dream?!"

"Miss Greengrass, please calm down." Seeing that the other party's emotions began to agitate again, Harry couldn't help persuading him in a deep voice, "According to the clues you have provided now, the only solution we can provide is to adopt some spells or Drugs are used to help you soothe your mood. As for the ghost you mentioned, the late Mr. Greengrass may become a ghost, but we have no way to find him so far. So I can’t guarantee that it will be consummated Complete all your commissions~"

"Harry..." Hearing Harry's words, Hermione froze for a moment, but she was smart enough to say nothing.

She knew that Harry held the Marauder's Map in his hand, so she could easily help Astoria confirm whether her father was staying by her side in the form of a ghost... But Harry concealed this, which means that he should have Other plans.

"Is that so... Anyway, thank you very much for being willing to listen to these boring stories told by me, a Slytherin student."

Unable to get a definite answer from Harry, Astoria seemed very disappointed, but she still tried her best to maintain her usual dignity and elegance, and politely chose to leave.

"Miss Greengrass, I think you should consider my proposal." However, just as she was leaving, Harry suddenly stopped her from behind, "Relax your mind and ease your mind. No more dreams like that. Instead, when you are at peace, you may be able to communicate more with your father in your dreams."

"Is...is that so?"

Astoria turned her head suddenly, with unbelievable surprise in her eyes.

Chapter 340 Eight Ghosts Can Be Touched

True, Harry hadn't told Astoria the truth.

Her father's ghost is actually beside her, and Harry has been clearly monitoring all this through the Marauder's Map.

However, he couldn't tell Astoria about these things, because it would be easy to startle the snake.

The behavior of Greengrass's ghost is very strange. Although Harry has not remembered what information he has been leaked, it is absolutely an undoubted fact that this ghost has been monitoring him.

In addition, he may also have some abilities that other ghosts do not have... such as disturbing people's thoughts.

Different from some ghost film and television works, the ghosts in this world are actually very weak creatures.

They are phantoms of wizards who linger after death and their souls do not want to go to another world. They do not have a body, nor do they retain any magic power.

Apart from being able to pass through most substances without hindrance, the only ability of ghosts is probably that when they gather in large numbers, they will make people feel cold, and there is nothing unique about them other than that.

As for the dream that affects others like Greengrass, it is even more impossible.

Therefore, no matter whether Greengrass' ghost is intentional or unintentional, his ability to affect Astoria's non-stop nightmares shows that his existence is absolutely extraordinary.

So for such a special ghost, Harry must not act rashly.

He must at least find a way to properly restrict the other party before he can directly 'capture' him.

And this kind of restriction method, Harry actually already has some eyebrows.

In fact, although the ghosts in this world seem to transcend everything and have no means to restrain them, they are actually affected by some special phenomena or magic.

For example, the myrtle in the bathroom, she is often washed into the black lake by the students inadvertently, which shows that when the ghost is unsuspecting, it may be affected by the water flow.

Another example is Hufflepuff's ghostly fat monk. He accidentally looked at the basilisk last year, which caused his whole body to petrify. Professor McGonagall conjured up a big fan and fanned him directly from the corridor to the corner. of.

Moreover, the mandrake resurrection potion prepared by Harry can also be drunk by the fat monk, as long as the potion is poured into his mouth, the potion will disappear out of thin air, and the fat monk's body will also become unhealthy at the same time. Again stiff.

Water currents, strong winds, basilisk eyes, and mandrakes...the above are the methods that Harry has sorted out to affect ghosts.

Wanting to figure out the inner connection among them, Harry thought he could ask his teacher, Nicole Flamel.

Coincidentally, Nico was also looking for him and Luna recently.

...

"Ghosts... indeed, in today's magic system, there is no way for wizards to directly affect or touch ghosts."

In the alchemy laboratory where the alchemy table and various equipment and instruments had been fully arranged, after Nico Flamel listened to Harry's request, he finally gave a negative answer.

"The essence of the magic of modern wizards is to use magic power to distort reality, but the existence of ghosts is not reality in itself, so there is no way to distort it. As for the sight of basilisks that can affect ghosts, it is because of the magic system of magical animals , is completely different from modern wizards."

The sight of the basilisk can cause petrification or even death, and the cry of the mandrake also has the threat of dizziness or even death... These special powers are actually the unique magic of magical creatures.

Although the types are not as varied as the wizard's spells, the effects are often very powerful and unique.

"As for the effects of water currents and strong winds, it may be because there are different elements in these natural phenomena."

"Elements... yes!"

Nicole Flamel's words can definitely be said to awaken the dreamer with one word.

Harry's own magic system is in a transitional stage from modern magic to elemental magic, so when he thinks about issues in the future, he should also start from the elemental point of view.

The fact that ghosts can be washed away by water or by a fan actually means that the elements of water and wind can affect them.

In other words, if I wrapped the water element around my fist, I might be able to give the ghost of Greengrass a cannon punch... Uh, what Harry meant was the magic activated by the water element~

"The part about elemental magic can only be explored by yourself, because Perenal and I don't know much about it." Nicole pointed to the ring on Harry's hand and said, "However, if you can use the space If the ring is inlaid, it may have the power to petrify ghosts."

"Petrified ghost...is it?" Suddenly, Harry thought of something he had stored in the ring, and hurriedly took it out.

It was a completely sealed glass bottle filled with a liquid used to store living tissue, and what was soaked in the liquid was the basilisk eye that Harry had taken out at that time!

"That's right, it's this thing." Nico nodded tremblingly, "I was really shocked when I checked your ring before. I didn't expect that you would meet a basilisk, and not only After dissecting it, its eyes were completely taken out."

"So, teacher, do you think that the eye of the basilisk can be embedded in the groove of the ring, and then it can also exert the power of the basilisk's sight?" After understanding what Nicol meant, Harry was immediately surprised.

If this idea really succeeds, then he will definitely have another secret weapon.

It doesn't even need to achieve the effect of the basilisk staring at everyone, as long as it can retain the power of petrification, it can be regarded as a trump card that can change the situation of the battle.

"Theoretically, it is possible. If you use the water element you have for refining, you should be able to refine the eye of the basilisk into a gem that matches the groove of the ring." Nico nodded, "And the little prophet is When making the ring, the magic pattern required for the inlay has already been carved in advance, as long as the eye can be handled well, the follow-up process will not be too difficult."

"Luna, what do you think?" Hearing the teacher mention Luna, Harry also asked the other party's opinion, after all, it was a relic left by Luna's mother.

"I think it's possible." Luna nodded, but there was some doubt in her big eyes, "I just don't know what I can do."

"Haha, I've already prepared it for you."

Nico smiled and led Luna to the alchemy table, where there was already an ancient book that Luna saw dizzy before.

"Hey, this pattern is..." Luna couldn't help being slightly taken aback after glancing at the part of the page that was spread out.

On it is a complex line pattern with unknown number of stars nested in each other, which is one of the things that Nicole Flamel once made Luna memorize by rote.

He also said at the time that as long as he remembered these patterns, he could help Harry successfully upgrade the space ring.

So, this is to outline it by yourself?
