When Hermione informed Merlin that there was a Ministry of Magic Scout Barrier in London that would stimulate his dark magic, Merlin made up his mind to leave the city as quickly as possible.On that night in the restaurant, after the dark magic broke through the boundaries, Merlin could feel that the rapidly expanding force was polluting his soul in a "siege" way.This is the beginning of demonization, first the soul, like a piece of paper thrown into the ink, and when it is completely soaked in the ink, it becomes a part of the ink.Wait until the soul is filled with darkness and distorted, and then there is the transformation of the body.Merlin didn't want to go from a normal person to a twisted half-demon in a month.While saying goodbye to Hermione, Hermione took a drop of Merlin's blood as a sign of some kind of magic.And that little girl's home is actually on the next street from the restaurant, just from the apartment where Hermione's little girl lives, you can see that this little girl also belongs to the category of wealthy families.Merlin sent Hermione downstairs, then returned to the hotel as fast as she could, and after a brief packing of clothes, she took the nearest train and left the city of London.His destination was the seaside town of Brighton, a one-hour drive from London, a well-known tourist destination where Merlin was better hidden.And it was a perfect reason to take a vacation, and during the phone conversation, Agent Garrery agreed to Merlin's request for a vacation without saying a word, and he told Merlin like a qualified senior to take a good vacation, and take a good rest.Unfortunately, Merlin still can't tell him his secret.Day 3 from London.At sunset, Merlin wears casual jeans and a shirt and leans back in a chair next to the bed.After opening the door of the door, the curtains that were blown by the wind kept swaying, and in this late autumn and almost winter wind, the whole room was slightly cold, but Merlin's heart was slightly anxious.A cloud of black smoke that dispersed was like some kind of eerie ornament, pulsing on his fingers, making Merlin's fingers look like candles that had been blown out.It's not like he's actively using his atomizing powers, it's not.It was the rapidly growing dark magic in his soul that was spreading, and the black smoke that was gathering and dispersing represented Merlin's rapidly falling soul.But the good news is that the spread of magic is not as uncontrollable as it was two years ago, and it now seems mild and does not cause the same bad luck as it once was.The bad news is that the magic power escaping from Merlin's body is too huge, so that the shell pendant given to him by the seaman Vico is already a little overwhelmed, even if Merlin drinks water desperately, the purifying power of this pendant is a little insignificant under the increasingly large magic power escaped.The once shiny shell was now dim, and the surface was full of cracks.If this continues, Merlin suspects that in 1 day at most, the pendant will be completely broken.And once this Merlin's only strange object that can resist the magic infection is damaged, then Merlin's situation will be even worse.There was a faint collision of "bang", which made Merlin, who was deep in thought, raise his head suddenly.In the dark perception, Merlin sensed that a small life was trying to enter Merlin's house from the other side.That life...
Somewhat weird, with a faint hint of magic.Merlin hurriedly got up and walked to another house, and then he saw...
A cat.A cat lying in the cold wind, with its turmeric fluffy fur constantly swaying in the wind.The cat carried a small, delicate rucksack on its back, which was fastened to the cat's body like a garment.To be honest, the cat was a bit ugly, almost the ugliest cat Merlin had ever seen.Its face was flat, as if it had hit its head on something.And from the front, the cat always seems to be unhappy.But the cat's eyes are very keen, and in the yellow eyes, there is a clear glint of wisdom.Upon seeing Merlin, the cat stretched out its paws, as if knocking on a door, and slapped Merlin on the window several times.The latter hurried forward, opened the window, and the cat rushed into the house with great activity, and then quickly found the warmest place, curled up in a ball, and made a comfortable meow.It seems that its journey along the way is not too comfortable."
Uh, are you Hermione's messenger?"
Merlin couldn't figure out what to do with the clever cat, and after a few moments, he walked back to the kitchen, and when he came out again, he had an extra can of beef in his hand.Merlin tore the can open, and the scented cat jerked its head up, its forelimbs propped up on the ground, and in a crouching position, it looked at Merlin with blazing eyes, and its tail was still wagging around.Merlin placed the can in front of the clever cat.The latter meowed, turned around, and exposed the rucksack behind its back to Merlin's eyes, while itself, bowing its head, began to taste its own dinner.In the backpack was a letter, and on the envelope, there was a sentence written by Hermione: "Merlin, I ask Crookshank to send you the letter."
Please take good care of my cat and help me bring it back the next time I return to London. ”"PS: Don't give it too much meat, it's losing weight lately, thank you.""
Oh, so your name is Crookshan, what a strange name."
Merlin glanced at the chubby cat, who was indulged in food and ignored Merlin with the arrogance of a cat.Merlin did not disturb its enjoyment, and he took the letter with him back to the balcony.He opened the letterhead, and it was covered in graceful handwriting, like the words of an old book with a hint of elegance.Merlin: "I'm vacationing right now at my friend Ron's house, and his family is one of the famous pure-blood wizard families.You should be grateful for the generosity of Ron's parents, who allowed me to dig through their family's book collection, and I have finally found a solution to your current magic. ”"Please don't rush to the end of the letter to find a way, and read this excerpt patiently, it should be very helpful to you."
Seeing this, Merlin finally breathed a sigh of relief, and finally, Hermione finally helped him find a way.It's not easy.Merlin did not immediately open the second letter as Hermione advised, but patiently continued to read it.The following passage, which Hermione must have copied from a book, is full of a textbook-like seriousness."
In the Muggle world, ignorance is a common phenomenon, and the disasters caused by ignorance are innumerable.""
Muggles reject anything that is different from them, even if it is their true people.From the persecution of witches in the Middle Ages, to the genocide of World War II, to today's strife, it is clear that the hatred between Muggles and Muggles never ends. ”"Today, we are going to talk about a catastrophic phenomenon in history caused by ignorance.""
Many times ago, when a child with a gift of magic was forced to suppress his magical talent due to physical or psychological abuse, it was natural for these poor children to have extremely painful emotions emotionally.And even young wizards who have just learned magic know that twisted pain combined with extraordinary talent can give birth to real monsters. ”"Those abused and repressed children, in the midst of long-term painful emotions, will create a dangerous parasitic force belonging to dark magic."
And when they reach the point of emotional or volitional collapse, they lose control of their bodies and their magical powers, and that loss of control will release the dark forces in them in a devastating manner.And that unleashed power, under normal conditions, would form a Muggle-invisible, but extremely destructive wind.Even in extreme cases, their bodies will merge directly into this dark storm. ”"According to the most famous great alchemist of our time, Nick.
Mailer's study, we call this phenomenon 'Obscurus', the hidden 'shadow of darkness', or to put it more colloquially, silently. ”Merlin's expression became very serious when he read this, and he knew why Hermione wanted him to finish reading this paragraph.The dark power described in this article is exactly the same as some of the characteristics of the dark magic in him.Merlin breathed a sigh of relief, he looked into the distance, any fear comes from the unknown, and once he knows the details, even the most terrifying things seem less terrifying.When his emotions subsided, he read it again."
The shadow of darkness, or silence, is born of intense self-repression and self-hatred, it is the product of a combination of pain and magic, and it represents the most tragic aspect of human nature, that is, the denial and hatred of the self.According to ancient texts, a child carrying the shadow of darkness does not live past the age of 10, but I firmly believe that miracles will happen in any disaster. ”"Maybe those miracles have already happened, hidden in history that we haven't yet discovered.""
Of course, the Muggle world and civilization are also evolving.The psychological theories they invented can effectively treat the catastrophic phenomenon caused by this mental illness. ”At the same time, thanks to the intervention of the Ministry of Magic, the Silent Ones in Europe had been extinct in the last century, and the last Silent in North America had died out around 1926.Although there is information that until the 50s of the 20th century, there were still silent people operating in Europe, but there is no official evidence to prove this statement. ”"Looking back at history can show us the way forward.May a tragedy like the Silent One never arise. ”——- excerpt from the famous wizard Horace.
Slughorn's 1985 book, The Epic of Magic, "The Epic of Magic," ended the first page of the letter, and Merlin read this excerpt with a lot of emotion.He lowered his head, in the night, looking at his outstretched fingers, he recalled his experience over the past four years, and after a moment, he sighed and whispered, "Self-hatred and self-denial." ”"So the more I hate you, the more I deny you, the stronger you become?""
No wonder..."
Merlin had an inner realization of his worsening situation, and although his situation was different from the "Silent One" described in the excerpt, there should be similarities in the causes of this extremely similar magical phenomenon.After Merlin received the dark magic from the compulsion of the Three Palaces, there was not a day that he did not hate it.He longs to return to his ordinary life, he longs to completely eliminate this power, but the more extreme his thinking is, the more he will promote the growth of dark magic.It was a real monster, feeding on hatred and growing stronger little by little in pain.Merlin tried to stop it, but did it the wrong way."
But, if you want me, how can I accept you calmly?"
Merlin shook his head, put the first letter aside, and picked up the second.Compared to the large text on the first sheet, the second letter has a lot less information."
Merlin, if you have patiently read the knowledge I copied to you, I think you should have understood the source of your problem.""
I want to tell you that I've looked through a lot of books, but yours is the most special.I can tell you for sure that you are not a 'silent person', that you do not meet the criteria for the judgment of that kind of magical phenomenon, and even in the encyclopedia of magic, there is very little record of you being like this. ”"Perhaps the official wizards who are wiser and more knowledgeable than me will know the causes of your current condition, but I think that if there is a way to cure the Silent One, then it should also help you in your current situation.""
So, listen to me, Merlin...""
From now on, learn magic!
It's not too late. ”Hermione's suggestion made Merlin's eyes widen, and he asked the little girl for advice on how to fade the influence of dark magic, but he didn't expect that the little girl's advice to him was actually to ask him to take the initiative to accept it.In other words, Hermione's advice to Merlin was the same as Vico the undersea man gave to Merlin.What he needs is not salvation, but acceptance of this cold reality!
They wanted him, from the depths of his heart, to truly begin to accept the dark magic in his body."
The best way to heal the silent is for them to learn the art of manipulating magic, so that they can properly control the release of magic.I asked Uncle Arthur, Ron's father, who was a wise official wizard. ”"He told me that if an Silent One kept suppressing himself and didn't use magic, he would soon be consumed by Silence.For now, this is the only way to save you. ”"But the problem is, Merlin, I'm just a second-year wizard, I haven't been allowed to teach you magic, I can't even lend you my own magic book.However, Ron helped me think of a solution, and he told me that magic textbooks should not be passed on to the outside world, but there was one exception. ”"In the wizarding world, we call people who have no magical talent 'Muggles,' which is a scornful term.And among wizards and Muggles, there is also a strange group of people known as 'Squibs', meaning those who have a gift for magic, but for various reasons, cannot release it. ”"Squibs are a pathetic group of people in the eyes of official wizards, who sit somewhere between the wizarding world and the present world, and are not recognized by both sides.""
But some Squibs are not willing to do this, they will always sneak up and try to break through the shackles in various ways.It is not considered a sin to have magical textbooks in the hands of these people...
Even the Ministry of Magic would turn a blind eye to such things, presumably out of the wizards' pity for the Squibs. ”"This is your chance, Merlin.""
I told Mr.
Arthur about you, and I told him that I had a Squib friend who wanted some teaching materials, and Mr.
Arthur wasn't very willing to help, but after I agreed to go on a date with Ron, the nasty guy agreed to help me convince his father.""
Remember this address, Merlin, in 2 days' time, go here looking for Mr.
Arthur...
Don't say it!
Just think you're an unlucky squib, okay?
”"Take this opportunity and become a wizard, Mr.
Merlin, I'm sure you'll be the best wizard you can be!""
Finally, I wish you all the best!""
———— Hermione.
Simple.
Granger, 4 November 1992, at The Burrow. ”Merlin finished reading the letter, remembering the address Hermione had told him, a somewhat odd one, in a somewhat remote town near Brighton."
