In Isama Treto's dormitory, the figure on the bed turned around naturally, and even frowned in his sleep because of the injuries on his body.
If Grindelwald saw this scene, he would definitely applaud. The Illusion Curse was a spell that he highly praised Sean for mastering, and now Sean's performance proves that he has indeed learned it well.
The real Sean has come to his own ring, but he still maintains the appearance of Isama Treto.
In front of him, an illusory pearl-white figure was frowning.
"Edmund, how's the situation?" Sean asked.
The ghost in front of him is none other than Edmund Grubbs. He died in the Victorian era. The cause of his death was eating poisonous prunes. He died at the main entrance of the Hogwarts dining hall, so he often obstructed students in order to vent his anger.
Meal.
Edmund suffered the gaze of a basilisk in his second year and was petrified along with Filch. Of course, he was finally saved by the mandrake.
Sean has always maintained a very good relationship with Edmund, and this time he spent a "big price" to ask him for help - he asked someone to get a completely rotten bison, which should be ready in two days
Sent over.
Of course, he could only choose Edmund. When the ghosts were conscious, that is, when they were not petrified, they could only go to the places they had been before in life.
Sean asked several familiar ghosts. Only Edmund had swam in the Black Lake when he was alive, and even soared over the lake on a broomstick - this guy was not peaceful when he was in school.
s student.
In other words, only Edmund can follow Sean to the Durmstrang ship at the Black Lake dock.
This was Sean's plan. Obviously, he couldn't ask Durmstrang's students about the defensive spell of the forbidden area under the ship. If he didn't know it, he would probably trigger an alarm if he entered it rashly.
Ghosts that can travel freely have become the best choice to bypass the curse.
Edmund, who didn't have to worry about dying again, readily accepted Sean's request. The rotten bison was very tempting to him. Moreover, doing a favor to the outstanding students of Hogwarts would be a good thing for the ghosts.
Still very happy.
The pearl-white Edmund floated up and down, his brows furrowed tightly, and even the ghost body could see the unhappiness on his face.
"Sean, is this Durmstrang's big ship?"
"Of course, why do you ask that?" Sean was a little confused.
"Oh my God, my God -" Edmund looked very angry, "As a magic school with the same reputation as Hogwarts, how could they sink to this level!"
"What's inside?" Sean also frowned.
What did Durmstrang's people put in the secret room of the ship to make a long-dead ghost so angry?
"Inside -" Edmund glanced at Sean vaguely, "is...the child."
Sean's pupils suddenly shook: "Child?!"
"Little wizards!" Edmund shouted angrily, "There are little wizards in several rooms! They are at most eleven or twelve years old! They are the age when they have just entered school!"
The ghost's anger made his body flicker slightly.
"I saw that in those rooms, all the little wizards were imprisoned in magic cages. They were trapped in dark, light-free secret rooms, and everyone's hands and feet were locked by magic shackles!"
"Durmstrang is committing a crime! They! How dare they do such a thing!" Edmund became more and more angry as he spoke, and then he wanted to rush out of the ring.
Sean quickly called out to the other party: "Don't be impulsive, Edmund."
Edmund's face was full of anger: "I must inform the principal! How dare these bastards do such a thing to a group of children!"
"Not now, the other party should be paying attention to another bait I left. If we leave now, it will be easily exposed -" Sean said in a deep voice, "Edmund, tell me the specific situation in the room, every detail.
Don’t let it go.”
Although the ghost did not need to breathe, Edmund still gasped for a while before calming down, and then described to Sean what he saw.
There are a total of six secret rooms at the bottom of the entire ship, and each secret room contains a young wizard. According to Edmund's description, the six young wizards are all immature calves, at most the age of a second-year student at Hogwarts.
similar.
There are not many furnishings in the secret room, only a magic cage in the center. The cage is woven with magic power. Since Edmund is a ghost, it is impossible to judge the nature of the magic power, but from the looks of it, the cage seems to contain a variety of magic spells.
.
The little wizards in the cage are lying or sitting, their hands and feet are bound by magic shackles, and everyone is in a drowsy state. However, even if it is midnight, none of the little wizards has completely fallen asleep. Obviously, their
His spirit had been manipulated by magic, and he remained half-drowsy and half-awake in an abnormal manner.
Edmund saw obvious pain on the faces of each little wizard. They seemed to have been imprisoned in the cage for a while. The clothes on each of them were in tatters, and there were some food residues on the floor of the cage.
When he heard this, Sean frowned and asked in a deep voice: "What kind of clothes are they? Wizard robes or Muggle clothes?"
Although Edmund was indignant, he still retained good concentration and recalled for a moment: "Wizard robes, and they are all Durmstrang school uniforms, which are similar to the styles of the guys in the castle recently."
"What's the size?" Sean continued to ask.
"Size...the uniforms of several young wizards seem to be a little short." Edmund recalled.
A little too short... Sean's brows furrowed.
"Have you noticed anything on their side? It's something you can touch if you reach out."
Edmund nodded immediately: "Yes. Although I was angry at the time, I still noticed that there was something next to every little wizard. It was either boots that were not the right size or a teapot that should not be there. They were all
Items that look very out of place.”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Portkey... Sean's brows tightened even more.
During the summer vacation, the special door key he received from Dumbledore was tampered with. At that time, he suspected that the returnees had mastered some kind of door key magic that could bypass the magic restrictions of Hogwarts.
After all, he himself can use "Trajectory Flash" to move freely in Hogwarts, and the magic of the Phoenix can also do the same, which shows that the magic restriction in Hogwarts is not omnipotent.
In other words, if Sean goes back immediately and informs the professors to come to Durmstrang's big ship, there is a high probability that the other party can use the portkey to directly transfer those little wizards away. There will be no evidence by then, and they cannot take Durmstrang's ship away.
What about Armstrong's group of people? On the contrary, they might be able to alert the enemy.
Sean fell into deep thought. He first needed to understand a question. What was the significance of Durmstrang imprisoning so many young wizards?
And why would they take the risk of possible exposure and bring the little wizard to Hogwarts...
In addition, no one knows whether there are more such little wizards imprisoned in Durmstrang Castle...
Sean frowned: "Edmund, you can't sense magic, but you should be able to see the appearance of magic or the color of the spell, right?"
Edmund nodded.
"What color are the magic cages and shackles?"
"Black." Edmund immediately gave the answer.
"Are there areas where black spreads around the cage, or around the little wizard?" Sean asked.
Edmund recalled carefully, and finally shook his head uncertainly: "I couldn't see clearly. Except for the dark blue torch in the farthest corner that provided some illumination, there was no other light in the room. The field of vision was very poor, and I could only see clearly those small
The general situation around the wizard, please tell me not to get too close if I see something wrong, I can only hide in the wall and observe."
"Okay, I get it."
Seeing Sean fall silent and stop talking, the impatient Edmund said impulsively: "Sean, what should we do? Those children have obviously suffered inhuman torture! We can't let this kind of thing continue!"
Sean sighed: "Of course I know, but we have to be clear. If we are not fully prepared, these children may be quickly removed when we bring people into the ship. We want to find them by then.
Maybe we have to go to Durmstrang's castle - but that's unrealistic. Although Durmstrang has been corrupted, it turns out to be a magic school as famous as Hogwarts, and its background cannot be ignored.
If they are determined to pretend to be dead and hide people, even Professor Dumbledore may not be able to find the imprisoned young wizards in Durmstrang."
After hearing Sean's words, Edmund could only float on the spot anxiously.
Sean stood there, pacing and thinking. After a moment, he raised his head and said, "Let's go back first."
Edmund turned his head: "Didn't you say you can't act rashly? And your original plan was not to continue pretending to be this person when you go out to eat tomorrow. Isn't this the safest way?"
"My other bait was hanging around for too long. If nothing happens tonight, they may carefully check the entire boat to prevent me from sneaking in - in this case, I have a certain risk of exposure,
I can run away, but the imprisoned little wizards will be quickly transferred."
Sean narrowed his eyes: "Pretend to test them on the periphery, and then 'return without success'. I want to go back and discuss countermeasures with the professors."
With that said, Sean moved the real unconscious Isama Treto out of the ring.
This guy's memory has been tampered with by Sean. As long as he is not too suspicious, this memory is enough for him to handle the inquiry. The other party will probably focus their main attention on Stella, who is currently wandering on the deck.
On Ron Hartman.
Putting Isama Treto on the boat, Sean flashed back to the teleportation point he had set in advance in the Black Lake.
It would be easy to spot the Shadow Worm if it were placed on Durmstrang's large ship, but it would still be very simple for him to get out.
With his invisible figure floating on the water, Sean glanced at the large ship in the distance, then waved his wand and issued a very weak detection spell from a distance. After waiting for a while, he immediately turned around and left without a trace of hesitation.
On the big ship, the black hood who had been waiting silently raised his head the moment the detection spell came into contact with the ship's hull. He narrowed his eyes and did not make any movement.
After a moment, he let out a harsh laugh: "Ah, just like what was described in the intelligence, this kid is very vigilant. It seems that the magic barrier I asked Karkaroff to relax is superfluous... Tsk
, Slippery boy.”
The figure in the shadow appeared again: "Then what are we going to do?"
The black hood laughed sinisterly: "He won't give up so easily... Send someone to carefully check the defense barrier on the hull and make a show of it to him..."
"What about Strong Hartman?"
"That unlucky boy won't make any moves tonight. Go and send someone to check him carefully, but don't find anything suspicious about Mr. Strong Hartman..." Black Hood licked
Licking his dry lips, a perverted and eager smile appeared on his twisted and ugly face, "It doesn't matter how vigilant you are. If you want to find out more information, you must board this ship, and he only needs to
If you board the ship, you will definitely fall into our siege..."
He smiled proudly: "The magic power of [arrogance], I'm really looking forward to it..."
If Sean heard these words, he would only smile contemptuously, but because of those imprisoned little wizards, his mood is particularly heavy now.
Back at the castle, Sean said to Edmund: "Please go and notify Professor McGonagall... No, call the deans and professors of the other three colleges, and Professor Scamander, too.
Assemble in the staff lounge - no, in order to avoid the other party's eyes and ears in the castle, please wait in their respective offices, I will go find them."
The matter is urgent, and Sean cannot hide the fact that he has permission to the Room of Requirement, but it is not a big deal. There are thousands of secrets in Hogwarts, and Dumbledore has already acquiesced that he can freely use the Room of Requirement. These few
Professors are also people who know some inside information and are trustworthy.
Taking advantage of Edmund's time to inform the professors, Sean quickly came to Nurmengard through the disappearing cabinet, and then used Floo powder to reach the office floor of the Wizards' Benevolent Association.
Not long after he appeared in the bonfire, Lupine appeared at the door wearing pajamas.
"Sean, why are you here? What happened?" Lupine asked with a frown as he put on his clothes.
He set up magic near the fireplace so that he would be notified if someone teleported over. If Sean came here at this time, something important must have happened.
"Remus, I need you to help me quickly summon the people in our association who have helped Hogwarts recruit students. Those who can't be there must also send information. I want everyone to be responsible for the admission forms and recruitment status."
Sean quickly explained his purpose.
Lu Ping didn't ask any further questions, nodded and immediately gave the order.
