Hogwarts Card System Chapter 379

Chapter 379: The Witch of Tricks

 “What did you dream about?” Ted asked.

Neville frowned and rubbed his temples with both hands, "I can't remember clearly, my mind is so messed up..."

“I remember there were strange sounds, Voldemort was laughing wildly, something was caught by him, it seemed important to him, I could feel his pride and happiness, extremely happy..."

“I also saw a crazy woman with silver-white hands and a big belly...”

Ted put his hand on Neville's shoulder and saw the picture in his mind.

 It's a bit like the signal is not good, the picture is blurry and somewhat deformed. Voldemort had ecstasy written on his face.

At the corner of the screen, a crazy **** is also laughing and holding her belly.

 Her belly is already a little pregnant!

 “Hiss~” Ted couldn't help but take a breath.

Bella!

Neville still doesn't know that this is his biggest enemy who killed his parents!

what happened?

　　Some time ago, she participated in a bank robbery incident, and one of her hands was broken, so she replaced it with a silver-white metal hand. Voldemort has this ability, but what's the matter with this big belly?

 Does Voldemort still have this ability? Why is he still keeping this "useless" organ? He doesn't even have a nose anymore!

 Besides, how could it be so fast? !

Voldemort's smile is definitely not because Bella is pregnant, right?

By the way, Bella's man seemed to have died during the bank robbery.

 So the two of them are...wait! What do I want to do with this!

 What good thing happened to Voldemort?

 This kind of thing is impossible to guess. Let Dumbledore find out.

 It is definitely not a good thing for Voldemort to smile so happily.

Dumbledore was silent for more than ten seconds after receiving the news: "No wonder he has been so honest during this period. I thought it was because the gold cup was robbed... It seems that we need to investigate."

"That's right!" Dumbledore looked at the double-sided mirror in his hand, "There are two more things. First, Neville's current situation is not very good, we have to prepare early."

Ted rolled his eyes, Lao Deng finally found the opportunity to assign himself a task.

 And this task cannot be shied away from.

  When it comes to the life of one's good friend, he won't worry if he doesn't take care of it.

 Lao Deng is really very sensitive to people's hearts!

“The second thing, the golden cup has been taken care of, and I'll leave it to you for safekeeping!”

 Perhaps I have already obtained the suitable process and techniques from the diadem and the locket, so the deprivation of the third Horcrux was much faster.

 The soul fragment has been destroyed by Dumbledore, and Hufflepuff's golden cup has been perfectly preserved.

One day later, Ted received the gold cup.

 Six people gathered around the golden cup, taking turns to use it.

 “What's the use of this thing?” Jerry asked.

 Ron smiled: "It looks very valuable!" There was a golden light in his eyes.

Hermione rolled her eyes at him: "When you pour water into this cup, it will turn into various kinds of fine wine."

 “Hey, I thought it was so powerful.” Harley suddenly lost interest.

Malfoy didn't think there was anything strange. "Things like this are usually left as a souvenir for future generations. It's not of much use."

There are a lot of these things in the Malfoy family, and there are often old objects from three to five hundred years ago.

 “How to deal with it?” Neville asked.

Ted thought for a while, "How about sending it to the kitchen to leave a message for the house elves."

 Six people nodded, thinking it should be.

These house elves were originally adopted and trained by Hufflepuff, and they are now more than ten generations old.

 Leave the gold cup in the kitchen so they can remember Lady Hufflepuff.

When Ted and the others came to the kitchen holding the gold cup, the elves rushed over like crazy, crying together in the blink of an eye.

Those big eyes, with potato-sized tears falling down, made the scene extremely sad.

The oldest house elf was also helped out. Last time he gave Ted clues to the previous generation of guardians.

It can be said that having a treasure in a family is like having an old man~

He gently touched the golden cup with his dry and slender fingers, his face was very excited, "The stories about the golden cup were left in the mouths of our ancestors. Now, we have actually seen the real thing. Thank you, thank you."

 “You're welcome, that's right.” Ted and the others quickly declined.

　　The house care elf waved his hand, "Actually, we still have a legacy left by a lady here..."

"ah?"

Ted and the others did not expect that there would be an unexpected surprise.

Following the old elf to the inner room, he took out a package from a magic box and opened the layers of cotton cloth. It turned out to be a kitchen knife!

Ted: Huh? !

The friends were also confused: Why is the legacy left by Ms. Hufflepuff... so down-to-earth?

 Slytherin left behind the Chamber of Secrets basilisk, the locket, the resurrection stone ring, and the snake staff.

 Gryffindor left behind a sorting hat, a sword, and an adventure diary.

Ravenclaw left behind the Room of Requirement, a bust containing his feelings about missing his daughter, an eagle's beak and a diary.

 How about you, Ms. Hufflepuff?

Ted and the others have found two pots now, one is a wok and the other is a large stew pot.

Now that the golden cup has been recovered, there is also a kitchen knife?

 Ron looked at this kitchen knife that was still shining coldly after a thousand years, and asked Ted and the others what they were thinking: "How many kitchen utensils does Ms. Hufflepuff have?"

At this rate, it wouldn't be surprising to discover a few more legacies in the future!

 Have you left behind a set of legendary kitchen utensils?

 It can be seen that she really loves making delicious food.

 The old elf sat on a chair nearby and began to tell them the ancestral story about Ms. Hufflepuff.

Unlike the noble and proud Slytherin, the powerful and heroic Gryffindor, and the wise and beautiful Ravenclaw, the pudgy and kind-hearted Hufflepuff is not that kind. conspicuous.

 However, she is still indispensable.

 She is good at herbal medicine, making delicious food and brewing potions.

 When Hogwarts was established, women were solely responsible for the logistics.

 The first house elves in the school were all found by ladies.

 They were sheltered here and provided services that have been passed down from generation to generation to this day.

"Ms. is not the kind of person who is too dazzling to look directly at, too powerful to be approached, and so noble that people feel ashamed. She is like a loving mother, taking care of every student. Those who are rejected or even persecuted by their Muggle families The little wizard...she took in those children that other colleges didn't want!”

 In the past, the Big Four were just vague symbols in everyone's eyes.

Because Ted and the others personally participated in the secret room and inheritance game between them, they gradually developed a fuller image in their hearts.

 But Ms. Hufflepuff, who is as low-key as the students in their house, has always been ignored. After this incident, Ted and the others finally aligned this name with a loving smile in their hearts.

Sometimes, the word great is very vague until you understand it...

"The Big Four, no matter who they are, including Slytherin, they are all great." Neville said.

 Hermione nodded: "If I had a choice, I would like to be like Ms. Hufflepuff!"

The friends all looked at her strangely. Unexpectedly, Hermione, the know-it-all, didn't want to be a Ravenclaw, but a Hufflepuff.

Ted smiled and gave her a hug: "I believe you can do it."

 “I want to be Gryffindor!” Harry shouted, raising her fists.

Harry, who was full of energy, made Malfoy smile bitterly and felt itchy all over~

 Ron took out some elf-stuffed French fries from the space bag, handed some to Jerry, and said, "I just need to be Ron, what do you think?"

 Jerry took the fries and nodded: "Brother, you are definitely the only one in the world!"

Ron: Are you complimenting me?

Jerry: Probably? I'm not sure either~

"Neville, from today on, you have to learn Occlumency from me." Ted whispered.

At this time, the two of them were in the secret base.

For the time being, there is no other way to deal with the fragment of Voldemort's soul in his mind. And Neville didn't know that there was Voldemort in his head.

 However, we can no longer let them keep in contact like this.

 Let's not talk about anything else, Voldemort is a legendary wizard, and his research on the soul may be the most authoritative in the world.

There's no guarantee that he will find out next time that he has some connection with Neville. That would be bad!

Maybe, he will find a way to control Neville in the opposite direction. Although this possibility is unlikely, it must be guarded against.

Even if Voldemort never noticed that anyone was spying on him, it would definitely not be a good thing to keep having a soul connection with him.

You must know that this kind of connection can subtly change a person's consciousness.

Among Ted's psychic powers, there is a similar ability to "seed demons in the heart of the Tao".

Moreover, the soul fragment itself is not safe.

 If it gets rid of its weak state, it is likely to find a way to become more of a guest. Just like Senior Tom in the diary.

 The good news is that the fragment of Voldemort's soul in Neville's mind is as weak as a giant-headed baby, and his consciousness is only occasionally clear.

   After all, it is considered an "accidental dystocia". It was not cut out by Voldemort on his own initiative, and he was born with deficiencies.

 Now, Ted wants to find a way to cut off the connection between Neville and Voldemort.

Although there is a chance to steal Voldemort's information, this is a double-edged sword. Who knows if Voldemort can read the art of war and come up with a countermeasure?

To be on the safe side, it's better to seal it up.

Ted's first plan is to let Neville learn Occlumency.

This is considered a permanent state magic, like Snape, which keeps the brain closed all year round. He can even create an emotion and memory to confuse those who peek into his heart.

This magic is very important, and the process of exercise is very meaningful. If you learn it, it is a kind of tempering for the soul.

Ted hoped that Neville would work hard and learn it.

Of course, he also made two preparations.

　　After all, Harry didn't learn it in the original book, and was tricked by Voldemort, leading to Sirius's death.

 The good news is that in the original book, Harry hated Snape and didn't want to learn from him at all.

Now Ted is not only a better teacher, but also a psychic. He is an expert in playing with the mind, surpassing Snape~

“I want to tell you the key points and precautions of this magic first.”

"The purpose of this magic is to isolate the brain from the outside world. The power of will is more important than magic. You must go all out..."

 “Resist me! Resist my consciousness!”

 Two hours of teaching had already exhausted Neville.

The feeling of having his defenses broken again and again, the feeling of being unable to use up his power, made him exhausted both physically and mentally. The wizard's robe was almost soaked.

"Let's stop here today. When you go back, remember to follow the meditation I taught you and refresh yourself... Don't be too nervous or stressed, as that may prevent you from making progress."

In the following days, Ted conducted his own research, paid attention to the development of "Magical World", and taught Neville at the same time.

It must be said that Neville's talent is average, I mean the kind of talent that can be said easily and draw inferences from one case to another.

But from another perspective, his talent is extremely outstanding, the kind of talent that is indomitable and indomitable.

 These two talents are neither good nor bad, both are very precious.

Neville himself works very hard every day, and the progress is still obvious.

As Ted said, the process of practicing Occlumency is itself a tempering of the will. This is important for wizards.

However, in order to ensure that nothing went wrong during this period, Ted still made a mind shielding pendant.

Wear this thing to sleep at night, not to mention Voldemort, even the incubus will not be afraid. There was no way to contact Neville at all, it was a physical disconnect.

In a blink of an eye, it was the end of the month again. During dinner, Jerry asked Ron: "Who have you been chatting with recently? We chatted with him until midnight? Why do you talk so much?"

Everyone looked at Ron: Have you made an online friend? !

Ron glared at him and didn't reply at all.

Jerry looked at it and became excited: "Could it be that you and Lavender are getting back together?"

 He heard that Lavender ended another relationship two days ago.

 On the contrary, Ron has entered meditation like an old monk and has no such worldly desires. Although some girls expressed vague affection, he turned a deaf ear to them.

Hearing this, Ron smiled disdainfully: "A good horse never turns back! That's absolutely not possible!"

 Today is the last day of October, Halloween.

 Well, it's Halloween, shouldn't something happen?

 When the friends were having dinner, they wore all the things they had fought with, and the belt under the wizard's robe was full of bottles and cans.

 The result was disappointing, nothing happened!

 Is this law going to be broken?

At this time, in the Forbidden Forest near the foot of the mountain, a space was like a TV with a flickering screen. The space began to twist and tear, and something was slowly squeezing in!

Sure enough, Halloween is not a good day, how can nothing happen?

 It happened, but no one knows about it yet!

 The new month arrived the next day.

“Ding~The talent [Knowledge from Another World (gold)] is triggered and the [Way of Trickery (red)] is discovered.”

[The Way of Trickery (Red)] records a mysterious woman who calls herself LeBlanc in the secret group Black Rose. Regarding clones, mirror images and the elusive displacement ability, people call this mysterious woman whose age is unknown, whose real name is unknown, and who is mysterious and mysterious. The woman is a trickster enchantress. It requires 950 experience points to redeem.

The trickster enchantress? LeBlanc? What a chicken!

 This is Yaoji passive? Or does it also include some skills and abilities?

 Let's take a look instead!

ah! Finally made it to next month! Woohoo~

   I have a psychological shadow even while typing words. I want to go to the toilet as soon as I type a word. It's all about forming a conditioned reflex!
