There was no one else in the professor's small cafeteria, because Su Ming and his party came late today, so they were the last to eat, and Neville's voice was also amplified a little, not worried about being heard.His current personality is also different from before, the confidence that can be seen with the naked eye, if it is replaced by when he was a child, let alone speak normally, even if he is stared at, he will stutter.Surrounded by aromas, he continued to tell the story his grandmother had told.After entering Hogwarts, Isidora was carefully taught by Professor Rackham, not only ordinary spells, but also ancient magic that the professor and she could master.Ancient magic was so powerful that it could not only create things out of thin air, change the world, but even have all kinds of other miraculous effects.Unlike regular spells, it doesn't even require spells, all the caster needs to do is determine their mind, and then communicate this power between heaven and earth, and it will be used by people.The girl was a genius, she learned at an astonishing speed and showed great combat prowess, and after graduation she stayed on as a teacher of Defence Against the Dark Arts.But Professor Rackham didn't realize that his apprentice was secretly conducting a dark magical experiment, and it all started with a good intention, but he went wrong.Isidora's brother died in that fire, and she originally wanted to use the ancient magic she mastered to resurrect her brother, but it turned out to be the realm of death, and no mortal could reach the other side of greatness even if he had power.So she chose to settle for the next best.After his son's death, her father was trapped in pain and self-blame all day long, and every day he wept in addition to drinking to drown his sorrows, and this has been the case for many years.Seeing her father like this, she couldn't bear it, so she invented a spell, with the power of ancient magic, to pull the sad emotions out of her father's soul, but more than a thousand years ago, there was no 'forget to be empty' spell, his father's memory is still there, so the pain will continue to arise.So she kept pumping and pumping, and after work, she had to pull away from her father's pain almost every day when she came home.When those painful emotions leave the body, they form something like black cotton wool and want to get into other people's bodies very disobediently.For this reason, she got a lot of bottles and cans, just to store these emotions, and she was also very happy to see her father's smiling face after each treatment.Professor Rackham noticed it once and thought it wasn't right, and advised her not to use ancient magic in this way, but the young girl didn't listen, believing that she had opened up a new field of magic.Ancient magic is so mysterious that no one knows how to use it, and if you are limited by your own imagination, how can you talk about it in the future?
Professor Rackham felt that it seemed to make sense, because he was already old, and he could not restrict the development of his apprentices because of his own personal opinions.So this little episode in life passed between the two of them, and everything was business as usual.But as the days went by, countless bottles and jars of emotions were piled up in her small hometown, and there was nowhere to put the newly pumped emotions, so Isidora thought of a way, that is, to transfer her father's pain to her own body and seal it.She felt that her willpower was strong enough, and she also mastered the incomparably sharp ancient magic, and it was not easy to fight some emotions?
As it turned out, she was half right.When she inhaled her father's painful emotions like a cigarette, these emotions not only did not make any waves in her body, but strangely transformed into her strength, making her stronger than before.After discovering this, things began to change uncontrollably.She first sucked up all the painful emotions stored in her home, and when she realized that she had become super strong, and all the professors at Hogwarts combined were inferior to her, she then began to secretly leave Hogwarts and go everywhere to treat other people's 'heart diseases'.Someone's son died?
Someone's wife died?
Someone himself is dying?
She would be there, using ancient magic to drain the pain of these people and make them smile again, and this experience made her feel more and more that she had done the right thing.But as time passed, she discovered that she was starting to get hungry.If it was said that in the past, she could not absorb the pain of others, and it was completely accumulating virtue and doing good, which had no effect on her, then after a few months, if she did not 'eat' the painful emotions of more than a dozen people every day, she would be flustered, sweating profusely, short of breath, thinking sluggish, and weak.To put it simply, it's like an addict who has become addicted, and it's ten thousand times more painful than that.Because there were too many painful emotions in her body, when these emotions erupted, even she, who had become the strongest witch on Earth at that time, could not resist it.Things then began to take a sharp turn, in order to fight against the pain in her own body, she secretly began to use ancient magic to extract other emotions such as happiness, happiness, and relief from other people's bodies, and when the victim resisted, she gradually lost her bottom line, and would drain all the emotions of the other party.She lost control, and there may not have been such a thing as a Dark Lord at the time, but what she did had become a horror legend of that backward era.Whether it is wizards or Muggles, goblins or house-elves, even magical animals cannot escape the murder, and every creature at that time is terrified, because the mysterious murderer will randomly appear anywhere in the UK at night, and attack any creature or group of creatures, and the victim is often found as an unconscious walking corpse, that is, an empty shell.During the day, Isidora is a professor at Hogwarts, with a gentle personality, thoughtful and kind, and even participates in the investigation team to hunt down the murderer.But at night, she's the murderer!
The work of solving the case has not progressed for a long time, but the desire in Isidora's body is endless, and it grows so fast that she ends up completely insane.When one of the professors passed by her hometown's village, she thought about going to Isidora's house to say hello to her colleague's father, but when she entered the door, she found that the old man had been an empty shell for a long time, and the room was messy and dusty.There is no one who can work at Hogwarts, and the professor instantly understands that it has not been a month since this father became an empty shell, and Isidora obviously goes home every day, but when she comes to work at the school, she doesn't mention it at all, so there is only one possibility.That is, she did everything.What followed was an investigation and a battle of wits, and things soon developed into a battle between good and evil, and dozens of Hogwarts professors formed a group to besiege Isidora, and she killed many people.Including the then headmaster, Mrs.
Fitzgerald, and Isidora's wonderful teacher, Professor Rackham, were killed in the battle.Countless emotions make Isidora extremely powerful, even in battle, she can constantly absorb the emotions of her opponents through ancient magic, as if she has endless power, and will become stronger and stronger.In the end, he relied on the charm teacher, a Ah San from India, to sneak attack behind and kill the terrifying witch with a death curse.But this matter is not the end, a series of dark spells she invented have been handed down, especially the 'Ancient Stripping Technique' curse that extracts people's emotions and souls, and it was also recorded by that Ah San in the "Ancient Black Arts" and stored in the *** area of Hogwarts.No one knows why this was done, perhaps to warn future generations not to invent spells with similar effects; Or maybe he couldn't bear to see the powerful spell lost, so he left a thought.But in the *** area of Hogwarts, this spell has no name and no explanation of what it does, so it exists alone in the books, and I don't know how many years have passed, and it has been peaceful.Nine hundred years later, a young student named Tom Riddle wanted to pursue immortality and strength, so he, who was also a genius, stumbled upon this spell in this book, and experimented with it and discovered its true effect.Although Voldemort had no talent for using ancient magic, he found a way to kill others as sacrifices, use the souls of the dead to provide energy, and activate the spell left by Isidorah to split his own soul, and then transfer the split soul to other containers.Horcruxes, from which they come.After Voldemort's incident, Dumbledore destroyed the book that recorded the Stripping Charm, which is why young wizards after that did not know that it existed."
That's the story my grandmother told me, and when I was a kid, it really scared me a lot, and I was always thinking about what an empty shell would look like if I lost my mind, and I was afraid that I would become an idiot myself.Luckily, I was forgetful at the time, and I forgot about it after a few days.If it weren't for the professor you just mentioned ancient magic, I wouldn't have been able to remember it, hehe.Anyway, if you're looking for ancient magic, look for something related to this witch, and you'll be able to find some clues."
Neville finished the story, and seeing that the three people at the table were silent, he could only continue to speak, pulling everyone's thoughts back to reality.Su Ming didn't say anything, just looked at Hermione and spread his hands, and the meaning was very simple.Sirius also said that he didn't have any clues, and as soon as he arrived at Hogwarts, he asked Severus, Harry, and Neville, who either had ideas or intelligence, and it couldn't have gone any further.The co-author Sirius didn't ask them at all, but just turned into a big dog and sneaked around the castle by himself, is this his investigation?
Hell what can be found out here?
There are a lot of clues when I ask casually now, Su Ming has never fought such a rich battle, and this crime-solving game is not difficult at all.
