As the first week of classes ends and the weekend approaches, there is a campus legend on the Hogwarts campus.
Legend has it that there is a succubus in the Black Lake. Anyone who hears her singing will be unknowingly charmed until they walk into the Black Lake and lose their lives.
This school legend comes from Ravenclaw.
Of course, because so far, the victims have only been a small number of Ravenclaws, so no one has taken this matter seriously.
Even the other three houses would laugh and say that Ravenclaws finally started to get along with each other and write campus legends.
Someone who has something good to say comes over and tells the person who is afraid of talking about the banshee.
I would say that their performance was okay, but the story was not scary enough, and the horror elements in it did not reach the average level of a school legend at all.
He enthusiastically taught them to add ghosts, werewolves, ghouls and other elements into the story, saying that this would make the story last forever.
In the beginning, the victims will still argue, but with more experience, they have learned to use silence instead of answering.
Often at times like this, the perpetrator will retreat in the eyes of the victim and leave in embarrassment.
It’s no wonder that people in other houses didn’t believe it. Even Ravenclaw themselves felt that this was a premeditated prank by the seniors.
Graduates have always had this tradition, and they like to leave their own legends in Hogwarts in this way.
Only the dozens of unlucky ones whose memories had been modified hugged each other to keep warm.
The memories of all of them are in chaos, and the only thing they have in common seems to be that when they are alone, they feel their minds go blank.
When I woke up again, I was standing in every corner of Hogwarts.
Because there was no evidence, they sought help from professors, but failed to receive any attention.
"Don't worry, there are no such creatures as banshees in Hogwarts.
Also, the one who charms the sailors with his voice is called the Siren.
I think that while you are making up campus legends this year, you still need to make up for your mistakes.
For Ravenclaw, the ordinary wizard level exam is not difficult, but seeing your level, I think you need to review your homework more."
Fortunately, no one was bewitched twice, and this incident truly became a campus legend.
Only Gretel and Penello, who were the chief culprits, and the dozen or so new members who had been recognized, laughed loudly in the research room.
There are nearly 200 people in the three grades of Ravenclaw, and there are dozens of older people who have been asked out, but only the thirteen people in front of them meet Gretel's requirements.
As a witness, Penello watched them sign a contract with Gretel not to betray each other.
There are at least three seventh-year graduates, and they will go directly to Diagon Alley after graduation to operate the first store in accordance with Gretel's requirements.
Gretel's salary was generous. The elite Aurors of the Ministry of Magic risked their lives all day long, and their monthly salary was only about a hundred galleons.
For these interns who had just graduated from Hogwarts, Gretel offered them a monthly salary of fifty galleons, and agreed that their salary would be increased on time based on their years of service.
With more manpower, Grete was finally able to be somewhat freed from the heavy workload.
When he saw Ginny Weasley again, Gretel couldn't believe his eyes.
In just one week, her red hair, which looked like burning flames, was now covered with a layer of ash, which was a bit too dry.
His eye sockets are sunken, his face is pale, his lips have no color, and his cheeks have become thinner.
However, with such an obvious change, wouldn’t any of the four Weasley brothers have any doubts?
Gretel approached Ron.
"It's okay. Ginny said she worked too hard this week and didn't sleep well. She just needs to have a good rest over the weekend."
Ron waved his hand carelessly and continued to patch his wand.
He really didn't want to see the whole wand break in two under the heavy pressure when he was casting a spell.
Fortunately, I was in Charms class when I broke off this time.
Even though the wand hit Professor Flitwick with a big bump on his forehead, the professor did not settle the issue with him, but instead advised him to find a new wand at home as soon as possible.
Ron didn't dare think about what would happen if his wand hit Snape during Potions class.
He will definitely be skinned, he will definitely, Ron shuddered and wrapped him tightly a few more times.
He didn't want to be soaked in a potion bottle. Fred once said that the pot at the door of the Potions classroom was prepared for disobedient little wizards.
When they popularized the matter, their tone was serious and full of gloom and horror.
Upon hearing Ron's words, Gretel slapped his head and gave up communicating with this idiot.
The last time I went to Ginny Weasley, I just wanted to see if I could buy the notebook from Ginny to avoid this trouble.
Who would have thought that this little girl was quite wary and wouldn't listen to him at all.
That withered appearance was obviously due to the remnant soul in the notebook sucking away too much vitality.
Ron, an idiot, actually believed Ginny's lies. It seemed that it was impossible to seek his help.
Gretel decided to find Harry and Hermione.
Thinking about it, Ginny should be able to listen to Harry's words. She is the person who admires Harry the most in the entire wizarding world.
Even if she didn't listen to Harry, Hermione should be able to understand her priorities and find an opportunity to change things for her.
Harry is also an idiot. He actually had the same idea as Ron, and said that he had been in this situation last school year, during the final exams.
But it turned out in the end that he was flustered because of Voldemort, not because of the exam.
Gretel really wanted to take out his magic wand and hit this idiot hard. He could think of his own situation, but he didn't know how to apply it to others?
Hermione could see it, but she couldn't do much to help.
She said that Ginny seemed to have a lot of objections to her, and she only talked to her a few words when the three of them were together.
When I returned to the dormitory, even if I bumped into him head-on, I didn't have any communication with him.
Gretel is not only trying to save Ginny, but ultimately getting the notebook.
At this time, the fewer people who know the situation, the better.
Gretel had no choice but to do it himself, so he collected Harry's hair.
He decided to use the compound potion to transform into Harry Potter and have a masquerade ball with Ginny.
——
Compound potions are potions controlled by the Ministry of Magic and are rarely available on the market.
Even the materials needed for compound potions are not easy to buy.
If you start from scratch, it will take at least a month.
The lacewing needs to be boiled for twenty-one days, and the sap must be picked during the full moon to be effective.
According to the intensity with which Ginny Weasley's life was passing, she would be lucky if she could hold on for another week, let alone a month.
Once Tom Riddle in the notebook absorbs enough life force, he will definitely not miss the opportunity to open the secret room.
In order to save time, Gretel had to find Snape.
"The materials you want are all ingredients for compound potions. You must tell me what you want to do before I can give them to you."
As a potions master, Gretel was keenly aware of Snape's discovery as soon as he finished reporting the materials he needed.
Gretel was hesitant. He didn't know whether Snape would turn to him or Dumbledore. After all, this matter involved Voldemort's Horcrux.
The confrontation didn't last long, and Snape finally pointed at the medicine cabinet with a frown.
"In the first medicine cabinet, there is a bottle of compound medicine that I failed to configure. The effect only lasts for thirty minutes.
If it's useful to you, take it away to save yourself from poisoning yourself."
