Chapter 482 Awakening and Searching

"My head... hurts so much..."

When Harry drowsily regained consciousness, he felt as if his forehead was about to split.

Then, he felt his lips were extremely dry.

‘What am I? ’

He was stunned for a moment, and immediately recalled what kind of scene he had encountered before, so he subconsciously moved his arm and touched his wand.

'hiss…'

Not knowing where he was involved, Harry took a breath of air and felt the difference in his surroundings.

The surroundings were dark, but based on his relatively rich experience, the place where he lay was obviously the ward of the school hospital.

'I... survived? ’

He froze for a moment, then endured the pain and tried to stand up from the bed - the scene he saw earlier was too terrifying, and the life or death of the mysteriously disgusting creature was uncertain, so he had to notify the principal or professor as soon as possible , to prevent more terrible things from happening.

After forcing himself to stand up, he immediately discovered a lot of dark things lying next to his hospital bed - probably candies and fruits. The pile of square things next to him should be various greeting cards with blessings. s things.

Unfortunately, he didn't have time to look at it. Harry stood up with force and touched his wand, "Lightsing."

As the wand was lit, Harry confirmed his judgment. He smiled and tiptoed towards the door. However, this latent move stopped before he even reached the hospital door.

With a soft popping sound, Dumbledore, wearing a nightgown and holding a wand, appeared directly at the door of the school hospital. It was not until he confirmed that the person holding the wand was Harry that he lowered the hand holding the wand. .

"Good evening, Harry."

"Good evening, Headmaster," Harry put down his wand, "I have something very important to tell you. The mysterious figure that appeared that day is probably Voldemort!"

"Shhh."

Dumbledore wagged his finger, "Otherwise, if Madam Pomfrey is awakened, our conversation may not be able to continue."

"Um."

Harry nodded heavily. He moved strenuously towards his hospital bed and sat down. Dumbledore sat on a chair he pulled over.

"Your judgment is correct, Harry." Dumbledore looked at Harry, and with a wave of his hand, a small ball of light appeared in mid-air, illuminating the area, "We have confirmed that he is indeed Voldemort. , and to our joy, we killed him."

died?

Harry froze on the spot - he had never expected to get such an answer from Dumbledore.

He encountered a similar scene when he was in first grade, but Voldemort had already escaped by then!

"Dead? But couldn't he escape alone? Moreover, he obviously came out of my head. Just such a thin piece of debris popped out directly, and then quickly grew into Voldemort. The look——"

Harry shook his head desperately. He couldn't figure out how, if that was really Voldemort, how did he lurk in his head?

Wait a minute - he suddenly remembered something very important.

In the first grade, he held Quirrell tightly and then completely passed out. After that, he didn't know what happened at all. When he woke up, he was lying in the hospital like today. middle.

Could it be that Voldemort did not escape, but used some escape technique to deceive Dumbledore?

This is not impossible - in the training he received, there was a trick of using traces to mislead the pursuing enemies, and then hiding himself and choosing an opportunity to escape, but Voldemort actually deceived Dumbledore?

"This is what I'm worried about," Dumbledore looked at Harry with a heavy expression on his face - he didn't know how much to tell Harry. After thinking about it for a while, he decided to tell Harry part of the truth in a tactful way. "Maybe we have to face more than just one Voldemort."

"more than one?"

"Yes, more than one - but there are many more we are still investigating, Harry."

Dumbledore looked at Harry, "I will tell you what I can, but you must keep it a secret from no one, Harry."

What can be told - this word made Harry a little unhappy. It treated him too much like a child, but his mind instantly came to those about 'exercise modes that are more suitable for you at the moment'.

The memory brought by his body allowed him to eliminate his dissatisfaction at once, "Okay, principal."

"Then, go and rest first. Sirius has seen you. The blessing cards and gifts are over there, but I suggest you see them again tomorrow. All you have to do now is have a good sleep."

Dumbledore nodded and pointed to the pile beside the bed.

He left quickly, leaving Harry lying on the bed obediently and the greeting card he opened.

Well, he was a very good Gryffindor after all - and the thing Gryffindors are best at is saying no to their professors' advice.

——

"Don't worry, Padfoot, people have seen it, and the injury is not serious——"

In the village hotel, Lupine comforted Sirius, but the smile on his lips could not disappear.

"That's right, the quality of the school hospital is first-rate,"

William also had a smile on his lips that he couldn't hide, trying to persuade Sirius to calm down.

Moody didn't speak, but his incomplete mouth moved from time to time, showing his joy.

There is no way, students are no better than adult wizards when it comes to swearing or fighting, and it is extremely rare for Hogwarts school governors and professors to exchange very personal and offensive insults in the corridors - of course, the main reason Still, both sides scolded each other very elegantly...

Originally, it was just a matter of mutual irritation between the two sides, but Sirius cursed and exposed the shortcomings. The Snape potion he blurted out caused both parties to use their wands. Professor McGonagall came forward to suppress the duel. Then Lupine used the excuse that Sirius had discovered it. The incident at the mysterious location persuaded him to leave school, and by the way, he got involved with William and Moody.

Although it was a bit inhumane for Harry to leave without waking up while he was still lying in the hospital, after all, Madam Pomfrey assured her that the problem was not serious, and Sirius might be poisoned by Snape if he continued to stay in the castle, so The only option was to advance the adventure and leave Harry alone in the hospital.

"Okay, okay, I'm not afraid of that snot-nosed guy..."

Sirius waved his arm, "We'll stay here for one night first, and then we'll go explore that area during the day tomorrow. It's so mysterious that it looks like it's been cast with a spell to expel wizards."

"Okay, then let's go tomorrow night and settle it at the hotel tonight."

——

The next morning, everyone woke up early.

Although this expedition was part of the reason for taking Sirius away from the school, the main reason was that the place in Sirius' mouth to expel wizards was too mysterious - such a spell, no matter how many evil ways he had seen in Azkaban, Neither magical William nor knowledgeable Moody had ever heard of it.

After a simple breakfast, William and the others, led by Sirius, arrived at the so-called area where wizards could be expelled.

"It's very ordinary..."

William stood in the so-called safe area and added both the Bubble Curse and the Iron Armor Curse. "I didn't see any difference."

He tried casting the spell several times, but still found nothing wrong - the spell flew to its destination easily without encountering any obstruction.

"Test again."

He picked a stone at random, turned it into a goat, and walked towards the place he designated.

With William's left hand stirring, the goat easily climbed up the cliff, walked all the way to the direction he originally designated, and then began to jump under William's instructions.

"The control of the spell is not affected, the direction does not shift, and the intensity of the spell does not feel weakened——"

He shook his head, canceled the transformation spell, and turned the goat back into stone. "I can't feel any affecting spells."

Moody stood on the other side and used more than a dozen detection spells that William had never heard of before in turn. He even took out several magic instruments to check, but in the end he shook his head and said that he did not find anything known. of spells.

"strangeness,"

He muttered, and directly released the Imperius Curse on a passing lucky seabird, but until the end, his Imperius Curse did not go wrong in the slightest.

"Are you sure you're in the right spot, Blake?"

Moody raised his head and asked Sirius, who was communicating with his elf.

"There is no problem. The gold coin has been staying here these days. It made it very clear that nothing strange happened to it. There should be no changes in the dangerous area we detected that day!"

"That's it..."

William took a breath, and then updated the protective magic on his body again. After using the transformation technique to test again to confirm that there was no danger, he carefully stepped into the trap.

‘Have you controlled the fire of the blessed elixir? ’

‘Where are the students’ papers? ’

'By the way, there's also Harry, I almost forgot to ask him how the Dark Lord appeared -'

With such thoughts emerging, William directly took out the broomstick, stepped on it, and prepared to leave.

"Professor William!"

Shouts came from below, and William paused for a moment. Looking at them, he remembered his previous plan. He pretended to land on the ground without any problem, and stared at the seemingly problem-free area in the distance, with a bit of confusion in his eyes. curious.

It's strange - so many protections can actually deflect his thoughts?

"I'll try."

Moody watched William get off the broom and spoke very relaxedly, but the wand in his hand showed no intention of stopping.

A shiny and protective Moody quickly appeared on the spot. He nodded towards William and the others, and then stepped into the inner area.

Unfortunately, his protection did not have much effect. Within a few hundred meters, Moody suddenly seemed to have remembered something urgent. He walked very fast on his wooden legs and ran towards William and the others.

"Are we going to check on Karkaroff today?"

Before William and the others could ask questions, Moody stated his question in advance.

"No, we have temporarily weakened some of our suspicions about him, but now I am more concerned about what kind of spell it is."

The spell that even Moody fell into was obviously not a kind person. The four people gathered together and frowned.

"It does look like a Muggle-repelling curse."

"It reminds wizards of important things - it feels like a variant of the Muggle-Repelling Curse mixed with Legilimency..."

"It should affect the mind, but my Occlumency didn't work..."

"Perhaps they also deliberately bypassed the scope of Occlumency... After all, such a spell..."

The four people quickly discussed each other and quickly made several possible inferences.

"Anyway, let's strengthen our mental protection..."

They quickly came to an opinion, and William prepared a potion that temporarily improved the ability to deal with Legilimency and Veritaserum, and then took it himself.

…

"This is it, I feel like the protection has been vaguely breached!"

He stood at the junction of the rock and the sea and waved his left hand towards the three of them. "The medicine is very successful. When I return, everyone will check the effectiveness of the medicine!"

After asking five questions, William confirmed that neither he nor Sirius were affected, nor were they illusions created by magic. So, everyone took the potion and walked towards the destination, leaving only Moody. At the outermost alert.

With so many people, stability was the priority. Except for Sirius, everyone present was cautious and determined not to create opportunities for accidents.

"Is this what you said is wrong, Professor William?"

Sirius looked at the ground and didn't see anything out of place.

"Dig the ground to take a look, take protective measures, and dig from a distance. God knows what's underneath."

William measured the nearby ground, selected an area, and retreated to the back with the two heavily armed men.

Then, as the ground was dug up, something slightly glowing white appeared inside the rock. As soon as it hit the air, it exploded.

It's a pity - the Sirius closest to the center of the explosion is more than ten meters away. The powerful explosion did not even cause cracks in the Iron Armor Curse, let alone destroy it.

"What a vicious institution."

William admired. Sirius and Lupine glanced at William, who was nearly thirty meters away, and looked at each other without saying anything.

"I thought it was some kind of natural place with strange magic, but it turned out to be man-made."

William shook his head, "It seems that the next steps are not that difficult. There must be some mechanism hidden..."

"organ?"

Sirius glanced at the land under his feet, which was definitely not small, and deep in his heart, he thought about the hardships of digging intermittently during this period... How long will it take to find it?

However, when he mustered up his fighting spirit again, he found that Professor William had begun to take out large bottles of potions from his bag.

Lupine, on the other hand, showed an expression that was indeed true, making Sirius look at him for a moment.

‘What is this for? ’
