During the remaining days of the holiday, Ani never saw Dumbledore. The old wizard seemed to have disappeared from the world. Even Professor McGonagall did not know his whereabouts.
However, after his magic perception advanced, Ani became more and more aware of the inscrutability of the world's first white wizard. In his opinion, even if he disappeared from the world, Dumbledore would definitely be able to survive in other dimensions if he was willing. While Ani waited disappointedly, Hermione returned to Hogwarts the day before the Christmas vacation, and Bill arrived on the same day with her.
During this holiday, he and his parents went to visit Charlie, who was raising a dragon in Romania, but due to financial reasons, all the remaining brothers were left at Hogwarts.
The twins complained quite a bit about this. Among the brothers, the third brother, Percy and Bill, who were both high school students, were the best, while the fourth and fifth brothers were Charlie's little tails before he graduated. Since last summer, they
We haven’t seen each other for more than two years.
When Ani saw him, Bill was wearing a long leather glove on his left hand, with the top edge almost hanging on his elbow.
"Hi, Ernie, how are you?" Bill had the same gentle smile on his face as always. He had a good impression of Ernie, he was serious about his work, outstanding in knowledge, and more importantly, he expressed his friendliness to the Weasley family. Ron's change is closely related to this professor. Faced with his mother's twin brothers who dared to play pranks, they took the professor's words as a guideline. Even the second brother could not deal with them so docilely.
"Thank you, I'm fine. But you seem to be in some trouble. Do you mind coming to my office?" As soon as he met Aini, he noticed that Bill's gentle smile was a little gray, and through the gap between his bangs, you could see scattered spots around his right eye.
With some cyan lines.
In addition to the eye-catching dragon leather gloves, ordinary acquaintances may only think that Bill is trying to be cool. After all, his personality has always been like that, but Aini can see its material without carefully distinguishing it. That is the abdominal skin of the Australian Opal Eye. Although it is not as strong as the skin on other parts of the body, it has higher magic resistance, especially it can better resist and isolate curses.
Except for Ron, who was fooled just now, even Percy and the twins noticed that Bill's expression was not right, and while thanking Ani, they pushed Bill.
"Thank you, Ani. But this thing on my body is very troublesome, really..." Although I am very grateful for Ani's kindness, the injury on his body is not a simple curse. Even Dumbledore is temporarily helpless and can only
Went to France to ask for help from an old friend.
He was worried that rash testing would cause it to change. Bill didn't want to implicate others because of himself, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the twins.
"Hey, Professor Bill is much more powerful than you." George opened his mouth and said without caring about his brother's face.
"Yes, I believe he is more powerful than you can imagine." Fred continued to pursue him. After guiding them many times to develop prank products, the two of them had long regarded Aini as their life mentor and had full confidence in him.
.
"Let's go, don't worry, I'm sensible." Aini naturally knew what Bill was worried about, and couldn't help but feel better in his heart.
Bill dispersed the brothers who wanted to follow. For young wizards like them who were not strong enough, when spying on such weird spells, even just watching would be very risky.
Although Ani's office was closer, Bill still led him through seven floors to his own.
As the vacation was coming to an end, the little wizards who had returned to school were wandering around in twos and threes. They both made a tacit agreement not to go through the secret passage and walked up to the eighth floor honestly. After opening the door, Bill was already out of breath.<
/p>
"If I hadn't known that you were with your family during the holidays, I would have thought that someone had gone to comfort the little girl during the holidays, well, by himself." Ani teased the eldest Weasley family member, while sighing that this house was like
His master is just as cool.
In front of the row of sofas against the wall, the exquisitely designed coffee table is extremely eye-catching. The tea set is placed on the glass that is so clean that it is almost invisible, and underneath is a detailed sand table.
Next to the yellow sand, the long river, and the majestic pyramid lies the Sphinx, which is so meticulously carved that even the smallest gaps are clearly visible.
Suddenly a pyramid rose from the ground, eight slender tentacles emerged from the turbulent sand, and a pair of smart little eyes emerged from the shadow.
"Forget it, Ani. Don't say you can't guess why." Bill disassembled the lock on the glove with one hand and knocked on the glass next to the water plants.
The frightened little fish swooped out, and one swam to the pyramid in a hurry, and was rolled up by the protruding tentacles.
"The design of the fish tank is good." Ani praised. Like the twins, Bill always has many strange ideas in his mind. The difference is that he will not use these ideas to tease others, but to embellish his own life.
.
His office is simply a small exhibition hall, where you can even appreciate most of Egypt.
When Bill struggled to unlock the third lock, the little fish was dragged into the pyramid by the tentacles.
After a little tilt, a few light yellow liquid beads flowed out from the bottom of the pyramid and merged into the model river. The liquid in the entire "river" had no interaction with the water and was surging on its own.
"Ha, I remembered. It's Tuaru. It's such a rare little guy. I'll leave a few for me when the eggs are laid." Aini was very excited. He didn't expect to meet a kind of creature that he had never seen before in Bill today.
magical creatures.
Tuaru is a magical creature whose habits and appearance are very similar to hermit crabs, but they do not have jointed limbs, instead they have eight octopus-like tentacles.
They have a pair of eyes with excellent vision and can see through, but they have neither noses nor mouths. Instead, they breathe by the fine hairs on the upper parts of their tentacles. If the shell they find is too tightly sealed after being buckled, they will extend their tentacles out of the shell.
outside, buried in the shallow sand to breathe.
Eating relies on the cavity in the center of the body. Tuaru will not eat their prey, but spit out their own digestive organs. Their stomachs will secrete the kind of liquid in the model river to help separate food from water.
Open, this is good for digestion.
Vomiting up and down the stomach is not a pleasant thing, so they usually don't excrete it. They can solve it before they catch prey next time and prepare to eat.
The vomited stomach will fully expand, allowing water to wash away the digested residue. At the same time, the water will also take away some light yellow liquid mixed with the residue.
This liquid was called Tuka in ancient Egypt and had a strong dehydrating effect. It was used on a large scale in rituals in ancient times, allowing the remains to be quickly and completely dehydrated.
Moreover, pure Tuka can refine the medicine into powder, which will not only not reduce the efficacy of the medicine, but also greatly extend the validity period of the medicine.
Because of this, these little creatures were caught in such a large number that they were included in the extinct list after 1834. Unexpectedly, I saw one here in Bill today.
"Tuaru? You mean Bobo?" Bill was a little confused. He found this little thing when he was enjoying the beach in Egypt. It broke into a Muggle bathing place, and a beauty in bikini picked up a conch. Then it was picked up by a beautiful girl in bikini.
The crab-faced octopus inside was startled.
I was looking at the scenery at the time. Well, Bill said he was just looking at the seascape, not the mountains and hills.
In short, the process is not important. In the end, Bill kept it in the fish tank without knowing its origin.
Aini simply performed a magic spell on him, which surprised Bill, "How could this thing become extinct? Bobo is very easy to feed. Sometimes I am busy with work and ignore it for a month or two, but it still lives well."<
/p>
"It's because you don't care about it." Aini was somewhat glad that Bill didn't know the value of Bobo. "It's not difficult to feed Tuaru. As long as there is sunshine, it doesn't matter even if he doesn't eat for a year or two."
"But if they don't see the sun for a long time, they will die, so they can't escape to the deep sea to avoid being captured by the wizard. Tuaru has no gender. Under the sunshine, every three years is a gestation cycle, and it can produce 5
To 8 eggs, once someone forcibly collects the picture card, the process will be interrupted, so..."
"Wow, so I protected an extinct species, haha, it's really pleasant. You can just take it away later, don't cause any problems."
"I think the little guy still likes you. It doesn't matter. Tuaru has a strong vitality, and I'm afraid I will have to live in the Forbidden Forest within a few months... Oh my God!"
Bill finally took off his gloves. This time there were no strange lines on his hands, but the problem was more serious.
In the middle of the back of Bill's hand, a big Kazilan eye was spinning around, and would pause on certain things for a while, as if it was observing, as if it had a life of its own.
Aini took a step forward and lifted his bangs, feeling a little headache.
"The Eye of Horus, Bill, Romania has nothing to do with this thing."
Bill smiled bitterly, "I left first after Christmas. The Egyptian Ministry of Magic discovered that an underground tomb had been robbed. Dumbledore invited me to go and have a look. Who knew I encountered a nested trap?" p>
Ani raised his eyebrows. No wonder he hadn't seen Dumbledore in the past few days. It turned out that he had gone to Egypt. During this period, the old wizard's thoughts were all on Tom. Could it be that he robbed the ancient underground palace?
"In ancient Egypt, the dead were much scarier than the living. This curse seems to be a kind of beacon. Fortunately, the people who left these things have been wiped out by time, otherwise you would be in big trouble." p>
While turning on the advanced magic perception, Aini was groping in his pocket. The curse on Bill was not very lethal. It only marked Bill and emitted a special signal for the caster to track. If he wanted to
The solution is extremely cumbersome.
"Yes, we will try to transfer it after the principal comes back, but it will be too time-consuming. It will take at least a month and a half." Bill was a little unhappy. This was his first year of teaching, and he had to take leave during the New Year.
He still has a lot of things to do, especially regarding his family, and he is close to finding the answer.
The troubled Bill then saw Aini take out a small bottle, which contained a ray of silver blood.
