Chapter 270 Atavism?
This is the most wonderful feeling.
Harry felt his whole body fluttering, and the thoughts and worries in his mind were swept away, leaving only a hazy, invisible and intangible joy.
He slowly walked on a remote path, feeling particularly relaxed and carefree, and only vaguely realized that he seemed to be following someone step by step.
Oh, and Hermione was also next to her. It seemed that she was also trapped in this lightness. She felt like she was walking in the clouds and stepping on cotton, as if she was completely unstrung and even was not controlling her body...
He vaguely felt that this was a state that should not appear, and it seemed something was wrong, very abnormal. But he just couldn't resist this feeling of happiness, and there was even a voice in his mind that kept echoing-
That's good... That's good...
No need to think about anything...no need to think about it anymore...
No need to worry about the malice and opposition used from all directions... No need to consider any pressure in real life...
This is the effect of the Soul-Snatching Curse. He subconsciously knew this, but he had successfully resisted the Soul-Snatching Curse before. However, now, it seems that the resistance he trained by Professor Moody seems to no longer exist.
Perhaps it is because the caster's attainment in the Soul-Snatching Curse is more advanced than Professor Moody's, and much more than many.
Perhaps it is because Harry has suffered too much pressure and malice recently and is quite disappointed with reality. He has a serious evasion, suspicion, and self-denial emotion, so he subconsciously does not want to resist.
How happy!
How wonderful!
Not sure how long it had passed, Harry suddenly felt that the hollowness in his mind, which was like an echo of the empty valley, disappeared.
He recovered his self-awareness and thinking ability in a loss, looked around in a daze, and then found that this was a house that made him feel familiar, a messy and dusty house.
The wallpaper has fallen off the wall, stains are everywhere on the floor, and pieces of furniture are damaged, as if they have been damaged by humans. Even the surrounding windows are nailed to death with a large number of wooden boards.
Everything was covered with a thick layer of dust, and the ambient light also looked very dark.
This is the screaming shed!
In an instant, Harry recognized where the place was. Because he had been here last school year, the house was also a very famous place in Hogsmeade Village, but it was not popular because people believed it was haunted.
In fact, this is because Professor Lupin accidentally bitten by a werewolf when he was young and turned into a werewolf. Every time he reached the full moon, he would transform. In that state, he would be confused and often bite himself and howl. When the villagers heard the noise and scream, they thought it was the sound of some ferocious ghost.
Dumbledore took him in to study at school, and the Screaming Shed was also a transformation place he provided to Professor Lupin with a willow to protect the secret passage from the school to the Wizard Village.
And Dumbledore deliberately guided public opinion, encouraged people to spread rumors, kept people away from screaming huts, thus ensuring the safety of everyone-
Including Professor Lupin's safety and the safety of villagers.
At the end of last school year, Professor Lupin and Sirius Black met again in the screaming shack, brothers reunited, and revealed the truth about Harry, Ron and Hermione about the murder of Harry's parents...
It was not so long ago, but now looking back, Harry felt that it seemed as long as a century had passed.
"Harry Potter... are you Harry Potter?"
At this time, a low voice sounded, quickly focusing his somewhat distracted attention because he had just gotten rid of the Soul-Snatching Curse.
He quickly turned his head and found that in the shadow, there was a tall figure standing. It was the wizard criminal who had seen through the disguise of his invisible cloak and decisively grabbed him and Hermione.
Subconsciously, he turned his head slightly and looked at Harry, who also saw Hermione beside him. The girl seemed to be frightened, her face slightly pale, and she tightly pursed her thin lips and did not dare to speak.
After all, meeting such a vicious wizard criminal is not a blessing. They have received the same fright because of Sirius' behavior before, but Sirius itself is innocent and not a real criminal.
——It was not him who took the lives of thirteen people, but another despicable villain.
But this can only be said to be luck, and we can't expect to meet a good person who is wronged every time, right? Especially when the other party is so decisive, he directly used the soul-taking curse, one of the three unforgivable curses, on them, which is also very telling.
“…”
“…”
Although he did not get an answer, Noah didn't care. He carefully compared the boy's appearance, especially focusing on the lightning-shaped scar on the other party's forehead, and confirmed his guess.
This is Harry Potter, the boy who survived the disaster. The British man used to be a savior who was so amazing that those who didn't know thought they were talking about Jesus.
It's a little trouble now. After all, no matter what, this person is a local celebrity, not the kind of guy who can be dealt with casually. Even if he disappears, no one cares... Noah suddenly had a headache. How bad is his luck?
I just came to the UK and encountered such a problem, which is really difficult.
But the other party happened to see his true face again, and obviously he knew his identity. It would not be possible to deal with it, and this also made Noah feel a little suspicious...
He has indeed been a little nervous recently and is very nervous. He always feels that someone is taking action against him, and always doubts whether there is any conspiracy to him without his knowledge. Therefore, everyone thinks there is something wrong with him.
Even a teenager underage kid, he doubts whether the other party is part of the conspiracy.
This situation can also be said that he is full of weapons, but this is impossible. The more he studies the dragon language system, the more he can detect the ancient and mysterious it. The more he studies the essence of the dragon roar, the more he can discover the terrifying aspects of that power.
That is a power far beyond the curse system.
Although the principle and mechanism seem to be the same, using a specific language as the key to leverage the rules, the power it shows is completely incomparable. It is simply that matches burn, and at most it can only be used to light cigarettes. The gap between the steelmaking furnace used in the forging industry gives people such a huge difference...
By the same token, how could an ancient species that has mastered such great and profound magical knowledge still willingly become a livestock-like animal raised by wizards?
They are not pure beasts, and they are suspected to have higher wisdom - no matter whether this wisdom has been recently mutation or brought about by the phenomenon of attrition, it will not change their subsequent actions.
As the only variable, Noah is very self-aware and knows that he is definitely on the death list of those terrible species at the moment.
It would be really strange if everything went smoothly and no one came to target him at all.
"Aren't you a Hogwarts Warrior? I remember the first project is about to begin. It should be a few days. If you don't prepare well, why did you appear in this village?"
Although he thought it was unlikely, Noah still planned to interrogate the boy and see if the other party was one of the chess pieces specially sent to target him.
"I'm one of the Warriors!" Perhaps because he was really sensitive to this topic during this period, Harry blurted out almost like a conditioned reflex, with a hint of anger.
"Oh, it's one of the Warriors...but so what? I remember you seem to be only fourteen years old?"
Noah said perfunctorily.
"The age standard for the Triumph Championship is that it takes at least seventeen years old to meet. Your abilities are far from enough than those of senior students, right? Do you want to hurry up and prepare and plan to be killed by the Fire Dragon ten minutes after the start of the first project?"
"..." Harry stared at him and didn't say anything. He thought this person was really annoying.
Indeed, this is indeed what he fears the most. A magic challenge that may not necessarily have a chance of winning in the sixth and seventh grades. He is a fourth grader, or even a fourth grader who has just started school for more than a month.
What can be done?
He even had no confidence in winning when he was head-on with Malfoy, and the curse that could be used was more inclined to be pranks, and the lethality was almost negligible, and at most it would make the other party bleeding from his nose...
If the spell doesn't work, then he has to throw away the wand and punch the other party directly in the nose. Anyway, the effect is not bad.
"Wait - Fire Dragon? You just said Fire Dragon?"
At this time, Hermione's sharp voice sounded. She stared at the male witch in front of her, as if she wanted to confirm what the other party had just said.
"Yes, Fire Dragon...you don't know, but this is normal, this is a confidential project." Noah laughed sarcastically, and he saw the boy in front of him with satisfaction and became dull after realizing it. "But I can tell you that the first project is a warrior, corresponding to a Fire Dragon."
"This is impossible!" Harry finally reacted and instinctively spoke out, and he could not accept the impact of this news.
"Why is it impossible?"
"Then, that... that's the fire dragon. How could they let the students face such things?" Harry's eyes widened, obviously completely frightened.
"Otherwise, what do you think the Trio Championship is? Why is it suspended for a century because of the excessive death toll? Do children play house?"
Noah sneered disdainfully, but his heart felt much more relaxed. Seeing the boy in front of him, he had already got what he needed.
"But you don't have to worry. They won't ask you to fight a fire dragon head-on and win. At most, you can make you detour and achieve some goal...unless you encounter those fire dragons that have a rebirth phenomenon."
At the end of his speech, he narrowed his eyes slightly and his voice became low.
