Hogwarts: I am Harry's eldest cousin

"I'm not Dumbledore. Even if there were ten more of me intact, it wouldn't increase the chances of winning."

Moody was being modest. Even though he was covered in wounds and had a limp in one leg, he could beat Karkaroff like a son, and chased him for months until he was arrested. Even Barty Jr., who had inherited Voldemort's true teachings, needed to team up with Peter to sneak attack in order to subdue him.

If it was a complete Moody, how strong would he be?

This is an old Auror who has experienced many battles.

According to age groups, he and Voldemort are from the same period and are most likely classmates.

After pulling out the cork, Moody did not choose to drink it all in one gulp, but instead put it under his nose and smelled it first.

Moody had this habit for many years. He wouldn't even take the food or water given to him, let alone potions.

"Mandela juice, magic pumpkin vines, oh, and a little bit of kale."

As a former Auror, Moody's own level of potions is not low, at least he can identify what the ingredients are.

"Is this really a magic potion?"

Moody stared at the liquid in the bottle in surprise. He suspected that Dudley had taken the wrong one and gave him a tube of vegetable soup.

But he didn't have much hope in the first place, and it would be the same if he took it as vegetable soup, so Moody poured a little on the back of his hand, tasted it lightly, and after a while, after making sure that there was nothing unusual, he drank the potion in one gulp.

He sat back down, waiting for the potion to take effect. Even Dumbledore held his breath at this moment, although he also hoped that there was a way to treat Moody's injury.

However, time passed and nothing happened.

"They are all the same."

There was no change in Moody's expression; he had long been accustomed to it.

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Dursley, but you see what this does to me."

Moody hadn't even finished his words when his body suddenly stiffened and he stopped talking halfway. Changes occurred in his body. A warm current flowed through his body and a tingling sensation rose throughout his body.

It was very comfortable, so comfortable that he almost cried out.

Then a magical scene happened. In front of Moody's astonished eyes, the scab on a scar on his left arm was falling off at a speed visible to the naked eye, revealing the intact skin underneath.

Effective? Is that vegetable soup really effective?

Moody's eyes widened in disbelief. He remembered this scar very clearly. It was left on him by a dark wizard when he captured him.

The wound seemed minor, but it was extremely difficult to heal, and all the healers at St. Mungo's were helpless.

If it were just a small scar it would be fine, but the crucial point is that every once in a while, an unbearable burning sensation would come from the scar. Although it would not cause one to burn in flames, it would still make people feel extremely uncomfortable, as if millions of fire ants were gnawing at their bodies. This was obviously an additional effect brought about by the evil curse.

Moody has endured it all these years.

Now, he was cured by a bottle of medicine that smelled like vegetable soup and tasted even more like vegetable soup.

Moody couldn't help but be surprised.

However, how could Dudley's potion only heal one scar? Even more miraculous effects were still happening, including the tiny scar on the right cheek. This scar had no special meaning, it was simply caused by a curse. At this moment, scars all over the body were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Although the skin that had fallen off the scab was not as smooth and delicate as a baby's, it was not much different from the skin around it.

"How is the effect, Professor Moody? Are you willing to accept my treatment?"

Moody pondered for a while, feeling the small wounds on his body healing, looking at his leg that disappeared because of the curse, the long-dormant desire was gradually awakened. If it could be cured, who would be willing to use a cane? Especially a proud master like Moody.

He slowly raised his head, looked at Dudley and said, "Then give it a try."

Dumbledore was relieved to hear Moody say this.

Moody had many wounds from fighting for the Order of the Phoenix, and he felt guilty towards Moody in his heart.

From that day on, Dudley would take time out every night to come to the principal's office to treat Moody.

No matter how advanced Dudley's potion skills were, he couldn't instantly heal Moody's injuries that had been incurable for decades with just a bottle of potion.

If it was really that magical, what Dudley made would not be a magic potion (magic soup), but a magical medicine.

The main reason is that Moody's injuries were sustained a long time ago, and it is not enough to simply heal them. You have to adjust his body to a normal state first. That leg alone requires at least a week of continuous medication, and the eye will take even longer.

But Moody didn't care about it. What he had the most now was time.

He really didn't expect Dudley to be able to do what countless St. Mungo's healers couldn't do.

In fact, strictly speaking, it is not too difficult, but the therapists who treated Moody's injuries before went in the wrong direction. Since it is impossible to find the corresponding evil curse, then just choose the universal method of removing the evil curse.

For example, there are some spells that you don’t know the counter-curse for, but you want to stop it. What should you do in this situation?

There are two spells that can solve this.

The first one is the Instant Stop Spell, a panacea-like spell that can offset all spells except some extremely special ones, but it consumes a lot of energy.

As for the second one, I wonder if you have ever heard such a sentence.

Point the wand upwards for ultimate protection; point the wand downwards for the end of all curses.

Yes, the second spell is - All Curses End. This spell is an enhanced version of the Stop Curse. There is almost no spell that it cannot stop, but the consumption is several times that of the former. Most wizards will be defeated after using only a few of them.

The healing potion made by Dali also starts from this aspect, increasing the healing effect and complementing other auxiliary potions.

A drop of water can wear away a stone. Even the most powerful magic will be eroded bit by bit if it is not replenished.

This is the principle of Dudley's healing potion.

Chapter 418: Deployment before the Movie

There are only four days left until the premiere of the Harry Potter movie on February 2th.

Wizards of all sizes in the wizarding world are paying close attention to the development of this movie. The attention level has reached the maximum value, not only because movies are novel, but also because it is a film that reveals the secrets of Harry Potter, the "Boy Who Lived."

Especially for children who grew up hearing the name of "the mysterious man", they have never seen Voldemort, and their fear is mostly due to herd mentality. Everyone is afraid, so they are afraid too. But if you ask them why they are afraid, most of them can't explain it. At most, they can stammer and say very general words such as "very cruel, very bad, very evil".

Everyone is very taboo about this name and basically never mentions his deeds. Do you think children who grow up in this environment will be curious about Voldemort?

As these children grow older, their fear turns to curiosity about why this He Who Must Not Be Named is so scary.

Just like the 'Old Beibei', 'Cat-faced Old Lady' and 'Paihuazi' that were used to scare children when we were young, as we grow older, we are not as afraid of them as we were when we were young.

The movie's success was predictable.

The period since the battle at the Ministry of Magic has fallen into an eerie calm. The Death Eaters have not come out to cause trouble, but have just contacted each other more frequently. The Aurors have not captured the hiding Death Eaters, but have just stepped up their training.

The two seemed to have reached some kind of agreement and fell into an eerie calm.

Although there are undercurrents beneath this calm, most ordinary wizards are not aware of it. At least, it appears calm on the surface.

"Will the Dark Lord really go on March 3st?" Scrimgeour and others gathered in an office in the Ministry of Magic.

He was a little scared and a little excited.

The fear was because he had seen Voldemort's overwhelming strength that day, and the Aurors he led together could not take a single spell from him. The excitement was because there would definitely be more than just the Aurors to deal with Voldemort, including Dumbledore, a group of powerful wizards would join the battle.

It’s hard to say who will win or lose.

"It's almost 100% certain. On the one hand, he really wants to show the world that he has returned, and on the other hand, he doesn't want people to know his past. He has always considered himself a pureblood, and he doesn't want others to know that he is actually a half-blood."

"He is completely deluding himself," said Grindelwald, appearing as Fudge.

Voldemort's secret is no longer a secret at all. More and more people know his identity. Perhaps he is the only one who still thinks that no one knows it.

People are afraid of him because he appeared so suddenly and no one knows his background. However, his strength is unmatched and he regards human life as worthless. So everyone is afraid of him because human fear comes from the unknown.

He claimed to be a descendant of Slytherin, a pure-blood wizard of noble birth, with a snake-like voice, and his concept of pure-blood supremacy was highly consistent with that of the group of pure-blood wizards who were on the decline.

That's why he was able to gather such a powerful army of Death Eaters.

Once these lies are exposed, although the Death Eaters will still surrender to Voldemort out of fear of his power, the morale of the military will definitely be turbulent, and strong fortresses are often broken from within.

heart attack

This has always been what Grindelwald is best at and likes to do.

"Keep releasing the news. This 'movie' will reveal a huge secret about the mysterious man's origins."

Make the other side anxious. Whoever loses patience first will become confused and reveal his flaws.

"Also, have those magazines and daily newspapers block the news. Remember, the outside world is just a bunch of Death Eaters who want to regain their former glory."

The news of Voldemort's return must be kept secret, otherwise it will cause great panic, so the public opinion gate must be kept under close control.

“As for this one.”

Finally he picked up the book 'The Life and Lies of Dumbledore', which had become famous among a small group of people.

"Do we need to ban it?"

Scrimgeour asked. During this period of time, he had been completely impressed by the new 'Fudge'. To be precise, not only him, the head of the Auror Office, but all departments of the Ministry of Magic admired him.

Compared with the original one, it's like 'one is in heaven and the other is on earth'.

If the original Fudge had half the ability of this guy, the Death Eaters wouldn't even bother causing trouble, and the pure-blood nobles would have to keep a low profile.

"There's no need." Grindelwald shook his head. "The more you prohibit something, the more curious people will be. Doing this will only backfire."

"Others will ask you why you prohibit it if you don't feel guilty about it."

This is the common heart of human beings.

On the other side, Percy and others nodded, indicating that they agreed with this point of view.

"Then us"

Scrimgeour asked, feeling that after following this leader, he no longer had to use his brain. The other person would tell him the best answer anyway.

"Leave it to the naysayers, Mr. Lovegood, to praise his ideas." Then he winked at the others, his gestures and expressions very much like Dumbledore. "And combined with the content of Fudge's fire elf army."

What's the best way to suppress the heat of something?

Just change the topic and use other news to grab the hot search, release true or false news to confuse the public, or let everyone treat it as a joke.

“The public’s memory is extremely short.”

Grindelwald concluded, and everyone nodded in agreement.

If the other party had boasted about Fudge's great magical power, it would be difficult for Grindelwald to let the Counter-Tune publish it. After all, a drama would really be staged next. But it happened that the Fire Elves Army, even Grindelwald really did not have a Fire Elves Army.

"Minister, there is one more thing I need to report to you. This is the news from the striker."

Scrimgeour spoke again.

"explain."

Grindelwald said calmly.

Scrimgeour continued, "Garrick Ollivander, the owner of Ollivander's Wand Shop in Diagon Alley, appears to have disappeared recently."

A subtle light flashed in Grindelwald's eyes: "I understand. It's not time for Hogwarts to start school yet. I will find him before then."

"It seems that Voldemort can no longer resist and continues to inquire about the secrets of the Elder Wand. Unfortunately, his intentions are good, but his direction is biased in another direction."

'Although Ollivander is an excellent wand maker, it is a pity that he has never touched the Elder Wand, let alone know the secret of the Elder Wand. His efforts are doomed to be in vain.'

Chapter 419 Voldemort vs. Fudge

On March 3, a three-story building was built out of thin air on a site on the edge of Diagon Alley, which was a vacant lot not long ago. In less than a month, it was the first cinema in the wizarding world.

It's true, if wizards start doing infrastructure construction, there will be nothing left for others to do.

Not to mention the efficiency, no one can compare to it.

Today, the place is crowded with people. There is a long queue in front of the cinema, and figures of all sizes can be seen everywhere. These are wizards waiting for the premiere.

There were vendors pushing food and drinks everywhere in the crowd, all of them selling their goods.

These are wizards who are naturally sensitive to business, and they obviously smelled the business opportunities in the cinema. The main reason is that the food lines in the cinema are longer, and wizards who cannot buy anything can only choose these mobile vendors.

Movies about wizards are naturally not the same as those about ordinary people. They are not as simple as playing moving images on a screen. This level of content can be found in newspapers. There is no need to go out of your way to watch a movie.

The slogan of the big movie is - let you fully enjoy the immersive viewing experience.

There is one thing wizards can do that ordinary people can't do: they can extract their own memories and also modify those memories.

You can use alchemical props such as the Pensieve to tour the memory as if you were in it. This is a 100% immersive experience.

This is unmatched by 3D, 4D, 5D36D effects.
