Chapter 165 The Old Man Is Playing Tricks

The train came to a slow stop, and Hogsmeade arrived.

Except for the first day of school, Hogsmeade Station mainly serves Hogsmeade Village.

Just like the prohibition of detection and disapparation in the school, a powerful spell has been cast here, and none of the villagers can respond to why everyone doesn't take the train that day, or there are very few wizards who choose the train to appear.

On this day, there will be a narrow and dark path in the grove next to Hogsmeade Station, and the young wizards will be able to see Hogwarts Castle on the opposite side of the huge black lake if they walk through this path.

Unlike rowing a boat with a sense of ritual in the first grade, you can take a carriage to school from the second grade.

The thestral was pulling the cart. This kind of powerful magical animal looked at the whole of Britain, and only Hagrid, a wizard, was able to domesticate it.

It is said that when Dumbledore travels, if he does not want to Apparate, he will choose to ride a Thestral.

But Hagrid specifically reminded that the Ministry of Magic forbids traveling on thestrals, which is illegal. Apart from the fear of being seen by Muggles, the wizarding world generally regards this magical animal as an ominous creature that represents death.

The skinny horse-shaped body has dark and dull skin, a skinny dragon head, huge skinny bat wings, a pair of pale eyes without pupils, and a mouth full of fangs.

I like the smell of blood, I can smell the smell of blood several kilometers away, I can perceive human thoughts, I like dark corners.

If Reaper has a mount, it must be a Thestral.

Incidentally, the core of the Elder Wand is the tail hair of thestrals.

By the way, the body of the Elder Wand is made of elderberry. According to legend, the holder of the elder wand will be attracted to the owner of the rowan wand. Interestingly, Dumbledore's previous wand was made of rowan.

As the information in his mind went a little bit crooked, Anton smirked.

It's so interesting.

He reached out and gently stroked the Thestral's cheek.

Thestral sneezed, feeling the love in Anton's heart, and rubbed his cheek against Anton's palm affectionately.

Neville looked at the Thestral with some fear, "Let's get in the car, it looks too scary."

Anton raised his eyebrows, "Can you see it?"

Only those who have clearly felt the passing of life can see thestrals.

"Well..." Neville looked a little sad, and pursed his lips, "My grandfather, I held his hand tightly when he left. He is the person who loves me the most in this world..."

"After he left, I lived with my grandmother. I know that they all love me, grandmother, parents, uncle..."

He took a deep breath, "I've always missed my grandfather."

Anton patted him on the shoulder with a sigh, "I don't intend to comfort you, but everyone will die. Maybe when you enter the world of the undead in the future, you can tell your grandfather that you are living a good life."

Neville nodded vigorously.

"Anton..."

"Ok?"

"Thank you!"

Anton was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and hugged the naive child, "Thank you, we are good friends!"

...

Anton jumped out of the carriage halfway, went to the hut next to the Forbidden Forest alone, and handed the suitcase containing his research materials and experimental items to the Elephant Vine.

The vines will drag the suitcase to great depths.

Having a secret base of his own at Hogwarts was the proudest thing Anton had done last year.

He has always maintained a good relationship with Filch. Although Old Deng has tacitly allowed Anton to use this place, Anton is still helping the poor administrator wholeheartedly.

For example, provide Filch with a reminder card prohibiting stinky eggs. This kind of counter-spell reminder card for stinky eggs will prevent the stinky eggs from bursting.

Although they usually provide students with a new product - Stinky Egg 2.0 (with an anti-spell against the hint card's anti-spell) after half a month.

Now their stinky egg products have been updated to 5.0.

A great virtuous circle formed between Filch and his classmates.

At one point, the twins felt that their consciences were uneasy, and whether they would consider lowering the price of stinky eggs, but their experiments cost money like water, so they had to earn Galleons with tears in their eyes.

There is a huge parchment in the hut, which records the curve of Filch's emotions. From the first appearance of stinky eggs 1.0 and cue card 1.0, to the present cue card 4.0 and stinky eggs 5.0, the curve fluctuates up and down. It can be seen that Filch has been living in a tense and exciting pace of life.

And judging from the change in the curve, they may have to provide the administrator with a reminder card 5.0 as soon as possible. It can also be seen that the stinky dung 6.0 can be sold for a little longer.

Simply put, Filch is a little numb.

This interesting little topic in the hut has always been the most interesting and fun thing for the five members.

It is worth mentioning that the provider of the reminder card 5.0 is Neville.

This clumsy child memorized the books on the book list provided by Anton with great perseverance, and kept asking friends and professors about the knowledge points he didn't understand in the books.

Insufficient talent, pure hard work and sweat.

The twins were amazed at the terrifying perseverance.

In this regard, Neville's explanation is embarrassing. His dream is to research the counter-curse of the Cruciatus Curse and heal his parents.

This kind of person exuding the brilliance of humanity and charisma has no reason not to be liked by a few friends.

compared to...

Draco, who is also from a pure-blood family, hates it much more.

Anton, who rushed to the dining hall on the first floor of the castle, frowned at Draco. After sitting down, the child who had become a little timid found a lame reason to sit at the corner of the long table farthest away.

The proud Draco always wanted to sit in the most eye-catching position in the middle of the crowd!

"What's up with him?"

Facing Anton's inquiry, Crabbe also looked puzzled. With only the brain capacity of a troll, he didn't quite understand what happened, so he grinned.

Then proceed to munch on a whole roast chicken.

"Delicious, hehe."

Anton frowned and looked back.

What the hell!

It's hard to understand how this guy can release the high-end black magic fire.

Has Fiendfire become so cheap these days?

And this guy turned out to be Slytherin's Quidditch batsman, no wonder he lost to Gryffindor, tsk tsk tsk.

Anton looked at him with the eyes of caring for mentally handicapped children, "If you like it, eat more."

"Yeah! You eat too!" Crabbe nodded with a smile, stretched out his fleshy fingers like carrots, pulled off a chicken leg and put it on Anton's plate.

"..."

Oh~

Thanks!

Success has taken my appetite away!

Anton had no choice but to grab the cup on the table and drink the watermelon juice inside.

Like his Bread Charm and Chocolate Frog, Hogwarts' watermelon juice is also made with the help of magic, a unique craftsmanship of house elves.

This thing is obviously more advanced, and Anton can hardly detect traces of magic.

No emotion, no wizard will, no trace of magic, nothing at all.

Of course, Anton is not in the mood to study this right now.

Draco has a problem, definitely a situation!

I definitely have a problem myself!

he……

It seems to have forgotten something!

The pupils were filled with black mist, and the azure blue lightning surged, and the line of sight followed the colorful mist all the way through, and finally came to the depths of the soul.

Lao Fu stayed obediently in a small doll-shaped horcrux.

His soul is still in a state of being shattered to the point that it is almost a paste, and he can barely see a human form.

At this time, Anton keenly discovered that the soul was covered with a layer of magic fluctuations that were so faint that they could hardly be noticed.

Savor.

"Confusion Curse!"

"Professor!" Anton looked at the Horcrux coldly, "It's really good for you to cast the Confusion Curse on me. I've turned into a Horcrux and I'm still in a turbulent mood."

Lao Fu continued to play dead.

heh~

Anton sneered.

Playing dirty, right?

Since you don't know how to praise, I don't need to treat you as a respected professor anymore. He has already made countless conjectures about the Horcrux experiment, but he has never done it.

As he said, everyone maintains a decency for each other.

You don't want to give me face, just wait!

He squinted at the magic power of the Confusion Curse on his soul, his expression changing.

One thing he is very clear about is that Lao Fu will never be able to do anything in terms of his own will, he has this confidence.

The Confusion Charm can definitely only slightly affect his misjudgment of a certain information.

Moreover, this information is so important to me that it is dispensable, which makes Lao Fu's sneak attack successful.

So……

What did Lao Fu want him to forget?

About Draco?

maybe……

"Hahaha, fighting with the sky, fighting with the earth, fighting with my dear teacher, it's a lot of fun, it's exciting." Anton had a cold smile on his face.

"Cruciate!"

The black line between him and the horcrux was filled with rays of magic spell, which made the horcrux tremble.
