The Rise of the Muggles at Hogwarts

Chapter 241 Nicoléme!Danger! (4)

No one knows what Professor Binns' reaction will be when he sees Anthony's new book, but Mr. Miller has already felt the hard work and pressure of becoming famous.

Since the "Legends of Magic" series became popular, orders from the Royal Publishing House have not stopped.

Especially during the summer vacation, after the Queen knew that Anthony had set up a publishing house, this matter naturally slipped into the ears of Prime Minister Mr. Harker.

Publisher?literature?

In an instant, the manipulator gene in the bones of imperialism awakened.

The British are well versed in the means of cultural invasion.This is one of their most proficient methods. When they were managing the colony, there were many ways of arrogating fire and transforming the local people.

At the behest of the Prime Minister, the government immediately launched a literary investigation into the wizarding world.And approved a large number of Muggle literature for publication by the Royal Press.

Among them is the famous fantasy novel "The Lord of the Rings" (The Lord of the Rings), also translated as "The Lord of the Rings".

This masterpiece, known as the originator of modern fantasy literature, immediately set off a Middle-earth craze in the British wizarding world.

The popularity is even crazier than in the muggle world.

Because the "Lord of the Rings" series has many similarities with the "Harry Potter" series. (The originator of fantasy novels, after all.)

Wizards who read this novel naturally regarded the image of Gandalf as Dumbledore.

This is another wave of enthusiasm from the principal...

The magical world of Middle-earth described in the novel is completely different from the modern wizarding world. It has a flavor of the medieval wizarding world. This makes the original fictional novel suddenly have references to real history and real characters, and people read it with enthusiasm. Naturally high.

And "The Lord of the Rings" itself tells the story of a people united in pursuit of freedom and resisting the Dark Lord Sauron.

This is extremely consistent with the current situation in Europe.

With several factors added together, it’s strange that this book is not popular!

Unfortunately, as the owner of a publishing house, Anthony can only get a cut of the commission, which makes him who is used to wanting everything really intolerable.

After understanding that it is still original work that makes money.

Anthony's small universe exploded in an instant, and his inspiration was like a wild horse running wild. He wrote a lot of new books immediately, which was an unexpected surprise!

----

"Bang." Closing the book, Anthony climbed out of his suitcase along the stairs with a headache.

"Uh? Harry, you're not asleep yet?"

In the dim room, Anthony saw Harry leaning on the bed in a daze holding a photo album.

It was already past one o'clock in the evening.Recently, they were detained by Professor McGonagall. It was almost ten o'clock when they got back from copying books from Professor Transfiguration. Then they had to study magic texts and write new books.

Before he knew it, he had been living a life of staying up late for a month.

Looking back on this month, Anthony can only say, thank you for the pick-me-ups and enhancers.

Although taking the refreshing drug would make his ears smoke for several hours, the effect was very obvious and he was still very active at one o'clock in the middle of the night.

"I'm fine." Harry heard the sound, shrank his head, put the photo in his hand under his pillow, and then got into bed.

"Well -" Anthony watched as the curtains on Harry's window slowly closed.

I didn't know how to comfort him.

After all, in this magical world, resurrection from the dead has appeared.

Especially when the person carrying your parents’ skin is not your parents, in addition to fear, there is more of a strong hope. Subconsciously, there is a voice constantly accusing, if that person is you. That would be great. Since the body is resurrected, why doesn't the soul return together?

Suddenly Anthony rang out a poem: 'I could have endured the darkness, if I had never seen the light.' '

Giving people hope and then stripping it away is the cruelest thing.

He couldn't help but sigh, and then took off his robe. Without saying anything, he just silently lifted the quilt on his bed and lay down in it.

A night without dreams.

At dawn, Harry slowly woke up.

When he woke up, the dormitory was empty for a while. Anthony specifically asked Ron not to wake him up because today was Saturday.

Harry got dressed and walked down the spiral staircase to the common room.

The place was crowded, and many young wizards gathered together, chatting about a recently released novel, or practicing spells together.

From a distance, Harry saw Ron and Anthony sitting on tables and chairs near the bookshelf, seemingly doing homework?

"Hi! Harry."

Ron looked up and saw Harry unexpectedly, then waved towards him with a happy face.

Harry plopped down on Sirocco's seat, picked him up, and sat down himself.

It was a seat by the window, and snowflakes were still flying outside the window.Shilok was very excited about this guy who suddenly appeared to steal his position. He meowed for a long time, with his spread limbs and sharp claws looming.

"You look very bad, Harry." Hermione asked with concern.

"I'm fine," he said.

"Harry, listen." Hermione said, she glared at Anthony, "Anthony told me that you have been in a daze these days. I know what you are thinking, Harry, but I hope you don't do it. Something stupid happens."

"What stupid thing?" Harry asked.

"Such as escaping from school to find Voldemort or something like that." Ron said sharply.

"Tell me, Harry, you wouldn't do this, right?" Hermione stared at him and asked seriously.

"I'm not sure." Harry shook his head, "Professor Slughorn told me a lot, as well as Professor Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall, but you don't understand."

Suddenly, Harry's mood was obviously a little excited, "Every night when I go to bed, I can hear my mother calling me. The voice is getting clearer and more obvious. I have a hunch that she is really resurrected, not Anthony." What ghost she was talking about, I could even hear her breathing, it was so real, as if I was standing next to her."

"Harry, this is just your dream. You miss your mother too much." Hermione said worriedly, "Don't be brave."

Harry didn't answer. He no longer knew what he wanted to do. Reason told him that he should stay at Hogwarts, but another voice in his mind kept urging him to leave.

"Well, Harry, are you sure you really saw your mother?" Anthony, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said.

"Yes, then the dream is too real. I-"

"there?"

"What?" Harry looked at him confused.

"I mean, you can guess where Voldemort is now." Anthony adjusted his tone and asked.

"Anthony!" Under the table, Hermione guessed at Anthony and looked at him displeased.This guy was encouraging Harry again.It's just bad.Always likes to stir up trouble.

"Paris!" Harry said firmly. He ignored Hermione, but stared at Anthony and revealed a location that he didn't expect. "Last night, I dreamed that there was an iron tower nearby. It was very conspicuous. I'm pretty sure it was Paris."

"Paris? Why did Voldemort end up in Paris?" Anthony muttered quietly. For Voldemort, there is nothing worthy of attention in Paris...

Whether it is the three Deathly Hallows or other legendary magic props, almost all of them are in the UK. Why did he go to Paris?

Hmm - legendary magic item?

Is it for the Philosopher's Stone?

Shouldn't he have gotten the Philosopher's Stone from that Indonesian witch named Jin Cangshui?

Didn't you get it?

That - Paris?

For a moment, Anthony's mind was clear.

Voldemort is for Nicoléme!

If he didn't get the magic stone, he definitely wanted to capture the maker of the magic stone. Whether it was forcing him to create a new magic stone or hoping to get other powerful magic items from him, it all makes sense. , after all, Nicoléme, who is over 600 years old, does not have any powerful magic items in his hand, so no one would believe him even if he said it.

"I have something to go to the principal. You can talk among yourselves!" After that, Anthony got up and ran quickly towards the door.

"Hey! Anthony, did you guess something?"

"Hey!" Harry called him loudly from behind, but Anthony did not look back. It was too troublesome to explain, and the matter was urgent. He had to report this to Dumbledore as soon as possible.

...

Seeing that Anthony didn't look back, Harry hurriedly chased after him, but even though he was following Anthony closely, he still lost Anthony's position after walking out of the doorway.

However, knowing their destination, he, Hermione and Ron ran directly towards the principal's office.

----

"sweet!"

Coincidentally, not long after Anthony walked out of Gryffindor Tower, he ran into Professor McGonagall. She seemed to have just walked out of the principal's office. When she saw Anthony running over in a hurry, she stopped him and asked him what happened.

Of course, Anthony couldn't explain it to Professor McGonagall. He could only say that he was looking for Professor Dumbledore and was very anxious.

Thanks to the fact that he was a regular little wizard in the principal's office, and he did share many secrets with Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall didn't think much about it, but took him directly to the entrance. After saying the password, he watched Anthony enters.

"Oh! Minerva, is there anything else?" Dumbledore, who was looking down at the book in his hand, noticed the sound coming from the oak door.

he asked, head bowed.

"Professor." Anthony called seriously as he walked into the room that was still filled with all kinds of silverware and shiny glassware.

"It's you! What's wrong? What happened?" Dumbledore raised his head, and his half-moon glasses reflected Anthony's serious face.

He closed the book in his hand.

If Anthony is not mistaken, the book seems to be "The Lord of the Rings".

Um - what time has it been? Professor, you are still in the mood to read fantasy novels.Anthony complained crazily in his heart.

Then, he briefly told Harry's dream and Voldemort's goal.

Originally, Anthony thought that Dumbledore would immediately become nervous after knowing this, but the reality was that he was still looking at him with a smile, as if he was saying something innocuous.

"That's it!" Dumbledore stood up slowly and walked down the stairs, "I didn't expect that you actually knew the connection between Harry and Voldemort. Is this also the ability to predict?"

"No." Anthony explained: "Simple reasoning, Professor. I found a book called "Black Magic Revealed" from the library of the Black family's ancestral home. It records the secrets about Horcruxes, Lei Gu Les probably also learned about the existence of Horcruxes from that book."

"It's normal for a family that has been passed down for thousands of years to have these taboo books." Dumbledore's eyes gradually became sharper, and he stared at Anthony, "I'm afraid the book contains more than just the secrets of Horcruxes."

"Forehead--"

"Okay, you are not a child anymore. I hope you can correctly understand the taboo black magic, Anthony." The professor looked seriously, and then asked: "Then what? Just by knowing about Horcruxes, how can you How did you learn about Harry's secret?"

"Harry's scars and Parseltongue. That night, the Killing Curse rebounded and killed Voldemort. I think Voldemort's soul must have been greatly damaged. No one can survive the Killing Curse, because that curse is It directly affects the soul, but due to the existence of Horcrux, Voldemort will not die, but the damage still exists, then I assume that the Killing Curse tore Voldemort's soul.

Part of the soul escaped, while another part landed on Harry, the only living thing that night.Then all this can be explained. "

"Based on these alone, can you deduce the connection between Harry and Voldemort?" Dumbledore looked at him in surprise.

"When you eliminate the impossible, what remains, no matter how unbelievable, is the truth. Said Sherlock Holmes."

"Sherlock?"

"Euros's second brother is also a smart guy. He is a detective by profession and specializes in helping the police catch some highly intelligent criminals." Anthony spread his hands and said.

"The Muggle world is really full of talents!" the old principal sighed inexplicably.His expression was a little forlorn.

"By the way, don't tell Harry about this, he's still young."

"I know," Anthony said.

It is not easy for a person to accept that he must die once.

The Redeemer was only 17 years old when he went to die.

Not everyone can afford this title.

"Well! I will contact Nick about this matter. Do you have anything else?" Dumbledore continued to ask.

"Professor, can I ask you a question?" Anthony suddenly raised his head and said, as if something sounded, "The spell that can counter Voldemort's Killing Curse must be the most profound magic!"

"You must know right."

"A curse?" Dumbledore was stunned for a moment, then asked with a soft smile: "Why do you think it's the effect of a curse?"

"Yeah." This made it a little difficult for Anthony to reply. Could it be that he wanted to say that it was an inference from a certain call in his previous life?

There are a lot of blood protection spells, ancient curses, Dumbledore's conspiracy and so on.

"But it must be some kind of magic, or a curse. It is impossible to produce magic that is strong enough to resist the killing curse out of thin air."

"Oh! It seems that you already have your own guess, tell me." The old principal suddenly became elegant, as if he had returned to the days when he personally taught students, he returned to his desk and sat down.Looking at Anthony with shining eyes.

"Is it a blood relative protection spell?"
