223. The Inferi and the Letter



More than half a month passed in a flash. After this period of rest, he decided to complete the paper for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

After spending two days reading several books recommended by Lockhart, he had to say that he was very good at writing. The plots in it were full of ups and downs, making people attracted unconsciously. From a side perspective, he was very good at writing. He is also a genius, but the method used is unacceptable. If he used other people as the protagonists and was authorized to record these adventures, this would also be a huge contribution. Unfortunately, his desire for self-expression is too strong, and he has to include the protagonists in it. Become himself.

These books gave him a deeper understanding of the Inferi.At first, like the British wizards, he thought this thing was a puppet servant created by Voldemort. This was correct, but not entirely correct, because judging from the books and Quirrell's previous adventures, things like the Inferi It existed a long time ago, but now there are very few of them. Most of the Inferi at that time were transformed from the corpses of dead wizards, not all wizards, and those who have used or studied black magic and black potions for a long time. After death, the remaining magic power in the body becomes active again through the invasion of black magic, but it has no thought, only instinct, bloodthirsty and an extraordinary thirst for magic power. If a wizard encounters it, it will basically not stop dying. According to the situation, it is a new kind of dark magical creature. This is a rumor he heard from Lockhart's book when he was adventuring with Quirrell, and he has never really encountered it.

There is also the corpse of an ordinary person who has come into contact with magic items. After long-term magic contamination, the corpse can stand up again. However, this kind of corpse is easy to deal with and is not considered a black magic creature. As long as they leave the magic envelope, Once the magic on the corpses dissipates, they quickly decay, and this is the kind Quirrell encounters on his adventures.

Therefore, Voldemort should have used them as prototypes to create a new black magic to create the Inferi.However, Magos felt that Voldemort should have encountered the first kind of Inferi, because unlike the rumors, the Inferi he made were tramps and homeless Muggles who were killed by him and his subordinates. , made from their corpses.He knew that Voldemort had made a Horcrux in the Lake of Inferi to protect him. In addition to the Inferi of ordinary people, there was also a wizard named Regulus Black, who was also a notorious Death Eater. Judging from the lake in which he sacrificed himself and became an Inferi, the strange lake on the screen must not be that simple. It is most likely the reason why he turned into an Inferi. Of course, it may also be the one he drank from. It was caused by something, but no matter what, since there is the ability to turn wizards into inferi, Voldemort should also have the ability to turn wizards into inferi, which must be guarded against.

Record all the information and guesses you get in a draft book, and then delete everything you can't say. The next step is to find the magic spells that can fight against the Inferi and how to avoid encountering them. Organize and edit these into Just the paper.

Unknowingly, three days have passed while searching for information. He has roughly finished the paper on the Inferi. He doesn't know if the magic spell he found that can deal with the Inferi is really useful, but whatever, since it's all If it can be published, consider it useful.If nothing else goes wrong, the paper will not be revised, because unless he really encounters the Inferi, there is no need to revise the paper that has been compiled from dozens of books.

I reviewed the paper I wrote again. It was easy to understand and logically logical. Even the examples were all copied from Lockhart.However, he also attached some speculations about the mysterious man. He felt that the existence of the Inferi was probably because the mysterious man did not regard ordinary people as human beings, but as a magic material.This speculation was horrifying and anti-human, but there was nothing wrong with it. The wizarding world did not think Voldemort had a bottom line. He felt that other wizards might have said this speculation.And this is still possible, Magos even thinks that even wizards regard it as magic material in his eyes.

After putting this paper away, the summer vacation homework was basically completed. Next, he had to think about how to spend the rest of the vacation.

However, just a week later, he received a letter from Dumbledore.Put a copper nut into the pouch around the owl's neck, open the envelope and read it.

"Mr. Will, I'm sorry to disturb you during the holiday, but there is something I think I should tell you. It is about the Ravenclaw diadem. It is missing, but I should know whose hands it is now. Maybe You guessed it too.

Not surprisingly, it was Ms. Lovegood who took it away, although I'm not sure how she took it from me. Maybe the Ravenclaw Diadem has some abilities that I don't know about. After all, it was with Gran. A treasure passed down together with the Sword of Findor. Unfortunately, I couldn't destroy it. Its resistance to spells was beyond my expectation. When I tried to attack it with other spells, I found that Lovegood The lady might also be hurt, so I had no choice but to seal the evil thoughts inside.

At dinner that night, you might blame me for not fulfilling my promise. There is no way. After all, it is a symbol of Ravenclaw. If it has been destroyed, forget it. In this case, everyone has been told of its existence. What do you want in the future? When destroying it, one had to consider the feelings of Ravenclaw. After all, it was the only relic left to them by their founder.

But now that it's in her hands, let's keep it with her first, and I will then find a way to get rid of the evil spirit inside. In addition, I hope you can tell her what I mean. I found that she can still listen to what you say. , remember, it is good for her not to let her publicize the existence of the crown for the time being.

Dumbledore stayed. "

After reading the letter, Magos had only one thought: The Horcrux in the crown wouldn't live and die with her like Harry did, would it?But thinking about it, it's unlikely. If the Horcrux had that ability, Voldemort would have been looking for a child with good qualifications to seize it. The only possibility is that if Dumbledore desperately destroyed the Golden Crown, Luna would receive a lot of money. Serious injuries, but not life-threatening. The most likely outcome is that she will become a squib and will no longer be able to use magic spells. It may also cause some damage to her memory.And these may not be what Dumbledore wants to see anyway. Since he said he would think of a solution, he should already have an idea, but he doesn't know if he wants to destroy the golden crown.He also said that it had been sealed, which Magos guessed meant that this Horcrux would be the last one to awaken.
