Hogwarts: Gray Wizard Volume 1 Free Chapter of The Dark Wizard's Apprentice: A Sad Song "We seem to..."

Anton's expression was a little strange, "I think too much."

Neville sighed, "I thought that pile of money was a lot."

Hannah opened the big hood of the wizard's robe, took off her mask, and looked at the barrel-shaped house in front of her with joy, her eyes bright, "So this is the only house we can consider, right?"

"It seems so."

Anton stared at the house with great interest, with colorful vortexes in his eyes, and he could clearly see a twisted magic image floating vaguely from the house.

This magical image…

He has actually seen it.

Dumbledore took him to apparate to a small seaside reef island, where there were a large number of magical Eris stones, which would give people the illusion of meeting a beautiful mermaid.

Nature is very magical. In addition to the Eris Stone, there is a dark creature called the Siren that can also perform similar magic.

Half human and half fish, with skin as white as snowflakes, a great mind and long golden hair, beautiful crystal blue eyes like the sea, and a small pink mouth.

He has the ability to seduce people's desires and transform into human form.

Dark creatures, also known as dark magical creatures, are often associated with people's hearts.

When Lupine and Anton talked about such creatures, they would always lament that perhaps black magic creatures were born from human desires.

The best way to defeat dark magic creatures is to rely on the best in human nature.

The Boggart can change its form at will, reflecting the most fearful scene in people's hearts. The best way to deal with it is to laugh happily.

The Dementor can absorb happiness and leave people with only sadness, depression, and pain. The best way to deal with it is to recall the happiest and happiest memories and release the Patronus Charm.

Anganara, which stimulates the wizard to produce happy emotions and absorbs magic power, requires the wizard to recall the worst scenes and rely on changes to counteract its control. This represents the resilience of life in the face of fear.

There is also a three-headed dog, Mo Ran...

Similarly, the siren, which symbolizes human desire, requires fearless courage and perseverance to face it, as well as restraint of greed in the heart.

The most ironic thing is that those who are harmed by dark creatures like the Kraken are often the most greedy people in the world - pirates.

They are like a mirror of the world, reflecting all human nature, waiting for good people to obtain treasures and bad people to be punished.

But Lu Ping also said that people's hearts are complicated. We can't always be kind, and not all bad people will be killed. That's why there is a science of biological defense against black magic.

Wisdom is always the key to opening the door to progress.

Anton likes this statement.

He looked at the house with a slight curl of his lips, "Interesting."

He seemed to see the waves. At night when the bright moon rose into the sky, the moonlight rippled with the sea water and slapped the rocks. The siren sat on the rocks, hugging his bruised body with his hands, humming sadly.

The song surges along with the waves, faintly carried into the distance.

With plaintive sadness, resolute yearning, and inexplicable fear...

It's complicated, but it shouldn't hurt.

On the contrary, it will give people a feeling of being soothed. This is a siren with a particularly pure soul. As long as you listen carefully, you can really get spiritual relief.

The effect is similar to the 'Tom's Mother's Arms' spell, although much weaker.

Of course, in the eyes of ordinary people, this thing is a haunted house, and ordinary people can only hear it when their hearts are the softest in sleep.

Tsk tsk tsk...

Very good, very wizard style.

Anton fell in love with this place instantly.

At this moment, a light suddenly lit up in Neville's arms. He quickly took out a crystal ball from it, and saw a bright red mouth growing out of the crystal ball, making a sound of "Aba, Aba".

"George and the others are here."

This crystal ball is Neville's invention.

Yes, Neville.

As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, or influenced by friends around him, Neville also began to make some inventions.

This kind of crystal ball comes in pairs, and as long as two of them are close to each other, they will emit light.

Very convenient for meeting friends.

It looks like something magical, but it was actually made by Neville using an herb called fluorescent love grass at the bottom of the Black Lake. Male and female fluorescent grasses will glow when they are close to each other, hence the name.

It worked so well that the Aurors ordered a lot of them.

The only disadvantage is that this crystal ball is a living thing and needs to be soaked in water every two days, otherwise the aquatic plants inside will lose activity.

As for the sound of "Abba Abba", Anton helped make it, which is an interesting little magic.

It senses light and makes a sound. This is a crude, abridged, youthful version of the activation spell.

"Oh~ this shape is so cool!" George seemed to like this house very much too.

"And it's still adventurous. We can explore and see why it's so cheap." Fred rubbed his hands excitedly.

Adventure, this is a wonderful word. Hannah was already interested in this house, and several Gryffindors were even more excited.

But Anton behaved much more calmly.

He raised the list in his hand and said, "This house has an owner. We are not suitable to break in without his permission."

The owner of this barrel-shaped house is a bearded and bald man.

He walked over drowsily, smelling of alcohol, swaying as if he hadn't slept well.

Well, maybe he really didn't sleep well.

Anton stared at him with a smile, then looked back at the house, and found that the magical image that sounded like the song of a siren enveloped the strong man.

With an inexplicable and strange fluctuation.

Simply put, this man was cursed by a siren.

George, Fred and Hannah didn't feel anything yet, but Neville frowned for some reason, feeling uncomfortable.

As his understanding of the Cruciatus Curse deepened, he became uniquely sensitive to this kind of fluctuation on the spiritual level, and this person gave him a particularly bad feeling.

"Are you kids going to buy a house?" The strong man felt that he had been deceived and became a little angry.

"certainly."

At some point, a huge sack was placed next to Anton. With a slight push, golden galleons spilled out.

In the pure white snow, the gold coins shone with charming golden light, jumping and rolling.

"Merlin's beard!"

The strong man threw himself excitedly to the ground and grabbed a handful of gold coins. He picked up one and rubbed it, instantly feeling the texture of Jin Galleon's unique fairy magic gold coins.

Snapped!

Anton snapped his fingers lightly.

As if going back in time, Jin Gallon jumped and ran back into the sack.

The golden galleon in the strong man's hand trembled and beat crazily, and finally broke free from his fingers, rolled to the ground, and rolled toward the sack as if he couldn't wait.

Following his lustful gaze, Jin Jialong jumped and returned to the embrace of the sack.

Snapped!

Another snap of the fingers, and the people around him felt their eyes dazzled, and the sack disappeared, as if it appeared out of nowhere.

Anton smiled and stroked his wand, "The premise is that your house can satisfy us, sir."

The strong man swallowed, looked at these little brats, and suddenly laughed, "Of course, of course, I..."

Phew~

A magical light lit up.

He lifted the strong man's beard and flew towards the big tree beside him.

boom!

The big tree fell down with heavy snow, causing snowflakes to explode on the ground.

His eyes widened, he swallowed, and a drop of cold sweat slowly dripped from his forehead. He touched his wet neck, oh, it's still there, how good it is.

Fortunately, fortunately, this terrifying curse did not cut off my neck.

He turned his head stiffly and looked at the cross-section of the big tree. It was so smooth and sharp.

"You...what do you mean?" His voice became extremely dry.

Anton looked innocent, looking extremely well-behaved and cute, "I hope you won't hold the wand secretly, as this will make me misunderstand. Sir, I think we can complete the transaction in a cordial and friendly atmosphere."

Seeing the strong man put down his arms with some annoyance, "Very good."

"Open the door, it's a shame to waste time."
