Previously, when building this kind of temporary residence, Hogsmeade prepared some simple furniture and did some processing. For example, some simple protective spells were specially applied to the house in the workshop that the wizards needed.
But the furniture in the house is very simple, with only a shelf, a table and a chair.
And now, after Ryan and the others entered the door, they found that there was actually a book on the table that was supposed to be empty. The book was not very big, it was about the same size as a normal textbook. However, the whole book looked very worn, with a black cover.
There were spots on it and it peeled off in several places.
After checking it several times with magic from a distance, and making sure that there was nothing abnormal or harmful on the book, Ryan and the others walked to the table, then stepped forward and started to look at the old book placed on the table.
"The Tales of Beedle the Bard, why this book?" Hermione had read this book before. She didn't know why someone would lead them here and put this book in this place. After all, this book
In the wizarding world, basically every family has a copy, similar to "Andersen's Fairy Tales" or "Grimm's Fairy Tales" in the Muggle world. It seems strange to attract them with an anonymous letter for this book.
things.
"This book is a little different from ordinary books." Ryan picked up the book on the table and looked at it carefully and said. "The "The Tales of Beedle the Poet" in our hands should look like
The earliest ones were written in runes, because many of the later books had been deleted, and I now recognize the origin of this book because I once saw a book with Professor Dumbledore.
This book is almost the same.”
"Why do you want to delete the content in these books?" Hermione was a little confused. "It's just a storybook! Although the content is very different from the fairy tales we read when we were children, it overall looks positive and sunny.
, and it’s also very suitable for children to read. I don’t think any of the stories here need to be edited out.”
"There is nothing wrong with this book for us, but for the wizards who rule the wizarding world, some of the stories in this book have a clear pro-Muggle bias. What's even worse is that this book was released when it was ten years old.
Early fifth century.”
"Early 15th century?" As a student who got an O in the history of magic, Hermione immediately thought of what happened in that era. "You mean, is it because of the witch-hunting movement?"
"That's true. At that time, the persecution of wizards was intensifying in Europe. So many people in the wizarding world felt that casting spells on the Muggle neighbor's plague pig next door was tantamount to actively adding firewood to their own fire.
.As a result, this book seemed a bit out of date after its birth, so some wizards changed the content of the book to make it have an obvious anti-Muggle stance."
"For example, in the set of books I found at Sirius's house, the story about helping ordinary people was changed to the story about ordinary people persecuting wizards, and then the crucible that came alive ate ordinary people." Ryan explained.
"Racial hatred, racial conflict, plus cannibalism in the crucible? I think this story is really not suitable to be told to children." Hermione commented. "What on earth are the children's education of those pure-blood families?
.”
"And at that time, some people even believed that any wizard who chose to be friendly with Muggles would be considered weak in magic and inferior to others. For example, Brutus Malfoy, the direct ancestor of the Malfoy family, wrote in an anti-Muggle magazine "
"Wizards at War" wrote: We can say with certainty that any wizard who expresses affection for Muggle society is a person with low intelligence. His magic is weak, pitiful and vulnerable, and can only be found in Muggle waste.
A little sense of superiority.”
"Of course, we now know that he is all nonsense." Ryan spread his hands. "I can guarantee you that I can defeat the Malfoy family of three by myself now, and the wealth we have now far exceeds that of the Malfoy family.
Centuries of accumulation.”
After hearing what Ryan said, Hermione covered her mouth and laughed softly. Ryan lit an oil lamp in the room, and then used the light of the oil lamp to read the fairy tale book page by page.
Soon Hermione recovered and joined Ryan to read the book together.
"The person who left this book is a little strange." Ryan said after reading the entire book. "Maybe to match the cover and content of the book, all the messages in it are actually ancient runes. If I hadn't
If I had received the inheritance, I still wouldn’t be able to understand this.”
"This means that the previous owner of this book is probably a pure-blood wizard with some family history." Hermione said, "As far as I know, pure-blood wizard families choose to learn ancient runes as a way to show their identity.
The method is just like the British nobles who learn Latin or Greek. When I took the ancient magic text course, except for the two of us, all the others were wizards from pure-blood families."
"What you said makes sense." Ryan opened a page of the book, then pointed to a line of runes and said to Hermione. "You see, the main messages in this book focus on the wizard and the jumper.
For example, in the title of these pages, he wrote: Is this just a fairy tale? The same sentence also appeared once in the last story of the three brothers, except that there was an extra Deathly Hallows.
logo.”
"In other words, this person wants to remind us that pot-hopping is real." Hermione pointed her finger at her chin and said, "But what does this have to do with us? In this kind of war, we can't do it.
Go on a treasure hunting adventure!”
"The other party definitely didn't go around in such a big circle just to tell us an adventure clue," Ryan said with certainty. "For example, there are two other messages on the story page of Tiao Tiao Guo. One of them says, every
Everyone dreams of obtaining such a magical treasure. And another place says that magic is powerful."
"It seems that this should indeed be left to us by some pure-blood family, otherwise it would not be written like this." Hermione said, "Then what should we do now, should we use magic to track that person?"
"Of course, you can't just find everyone at your door and don't know what happened, right?" Ryan shrugged. "I also know that the person just did this whole thing just to prevent us from finding him, but I
I don’t think that guy knows that our research on souls and space has surpassed most people. I started tracking it when I got the book, and now I can basically lock the opponent’s location.”
"Then let's go find that guy now?" Hermione asked, with an eager expression on her face. In the three months since this war broke out until now, she has completely mastered her abilities, and at the same time, she has also mastered her abilities.
Under the influence of the power of death, she began to have a little feel for the battle, so she became somewhat interested in this possible raid.
"Let's go find him the day after tomorrow." Ryan said. "These two days are Christmas holidays. I think it's more appropriate for us to take two days off. Anyway, I have basically locked the identity and location of the other party, and I can basically determine who the guy is.
Who is it?"
"Have you confirmed the other party's identity and location? This is really good news." Hermione nodded. She could guess that Ryan dared to guarantee the other party's location and identity so confidently. She probably found out that the other party appeared after locking the other party's location.
In the manor of a certain pure-blood family.
Although they had attacked several pure-blood family estates before, their main target was plantations. After all, their goal was only to cut off the opponent's source of income, not to kill for the sake of killing.
At the same time, during the attack on the manor, every time they attacked Manor Lane, they would always leave a message afterwards to explain the reason for their attack, such as punishing the dark wizard who killed innocent people indiscriminately, or rescuing the imprisoned hostages.
Under such circumstances, some of the fringe Death Eaters who did not participate in the indiscriminate killing of innocent people and who did not hold hostages in the manor still chose to live at home. After all, according to the history of previous attacks, Ryan did not kill any innocent people by mistake during the attack.
people.
Therefore, those relatively marginalized Death Eaters who are unable to abandon their homes because of their family's wealth and knowledge can now only choose to place their family's lives on the integrity of Ryan, his enemy.
The person who sent the anonymous letter traced by traces should be one of this group of fringe Death Eaters.
