The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts Chapter 122

"Lord Mother counts everything." Helena sighed. She had always had a hunch that when she appeared in front of this statue with the crown, something special would happen.

Now, the magic left by my mother takes effect.

She repaired the crown and removed the curse attached to it. Tom, who was holding the crown, only felt a gentle warm wind blowing through his body, and his mental and physical fatigue was swept away.

"Mother..." Helena also felt her mother's heart, but it's a pity that now she is a ghost and can no longer experience this kind of warmth.

[Ravenclaw Crown (Five Stars): The crown left by Rowena Ravenclaw, wearing it to learn can achieve twice the result with half the effort, provided that it can withstand the knowledge instillation from Ravenclaw Biography]

"Knowledge indoctrination?" Tom was a little curious. Could it be that there is knowledge that Ravenclaw has collected throughout his life? That is truly a priceless treasure!

"You'll know when you put it on." Helena showed an inexplicable smile.

Tom felt that there was some fraud, but at best it was a prank, and it wouldn't cause any harm to himself, so he put on the Ravenclaw crown.

After wearing it, Tom felt like he was in a noisy auditorium, with countless voices in his ears:

"There are ten types of pure-blooded fire dragons in total, and they occasionally mate with each other to produce rare hybrids."

"The trick to the Floating Charm is the subtle movement of the hand."

"A spell is a spell that adds specific attributes to an object or creature. To successfully cast a spell, you need to concentrate, wave your wand correctly, and recite the spell accurately."

In just a few seconds, the sound gradually became louder, as if he accidentally pressed the volume button after putting on headphones. Tom groaned, feeling a little distracted, as if he had been watching the bus for a while. Same as cell phone. Tom felt an abnormal tightness in his chest, and he didn't know what it would become if he listened again.

He quickly took off the crown, but the dizziness didn't go away until he walked to the window and let the cold wind blow.

"Not bad." Helena floated to Tom's side, looking at him with a hint of praise in her eyes.

"This is the characteristic of the crown, it will frantically instill knowledge into your mind. Your performance is one of the best among the people I have ever met. Back then, my mother would occasionally lend the crown to her students, and then fainted immediately after wearing it. There are people from the past."

"Why do you have to do this..." Tom felt that he didn't want to vomit so much, and turned around and complained to Helena.

"If you want to acquire knowledge, you have to pay a price." Helena said of course, "Back then, mother's class was a wonderful thing - many students want to learn more advanced knowledge, they have to pay some price in theory, even if these costs are different from Knowledge is not equal. It seems that the rule that the professor's signature is required in the restricted area of ​​the Hogwarts library stems from the mother's teaching method."

Tom: …

Well, it can only be said that it is worthy of being "the claw of the raven", treating knowledge like treasure.

"I think it's time for you to go to class." Helena changed the subject and pointed to the wall clock on the wall, reminding Tom that it was almost time for class. Tom hurriedly put away his crown and ran towards the door.

Looking at Tom's back, Helena sighed and whispered inaudibly, "Is it a coincidence...or fate?"

This section of Defense Against the Dark Arts is like answering a reporter's question at a press conference. The little wizards' curiosity about Tom's experience did not subside overnight, but intensified.

"Okay," Tom, who couldn't help being entangled by the students, could only admit it, and selectively told his experience to the little wizards in the audience, but he certainly couldn't mention the Horcrux - otherwise Dumbledore would be afraid Will come to the door to invite him for tea.

Because the concept of Horcrux is too evil, the wizarding world keeps it secret, and even books involving black magic are only a passing mention. For example, the book "Toxic Magic" contains a lot of advanced black magic content, but still does not give an in-depth introduction to Horcrux.

"About Horcruxes, the most evil magical invention, will not be discussed or guided here" are the original words in the book. The author's attitude is also very obvious: Horcruxes are too evil even for dark wizards.

The definition of black magic in the magical world has always been somewhat vague, but black magic is generally the magic that can cause irreversible damage. Among them, magic for the soul is basically included.

Of all black magic, Horcruxes are the most evil. The reason is that it can ask to split the soul. After the wizard who made the Horcrux is destroyed and all the Horcruxes die, he will not be able to become a ghost or reincarnate. He can only be trapped in a blurred illusion and suffer forever. This is almost impossible for wizards to accept.

Wizards can become ghosts, but most wizards don't choose. If everyone does not choose, there must be a reason not to choose. Just like reporting to a major, it is not without reason to persuade biochemical environmental materials to retire! If you have to go upstream, there is a high probability that you will be pitted to the point of crying without tears. If you want to do the opposite, some schools have set up biomaterials environmental science, UU reading www.uukanshu.com recommends people who have this idea to study - just fill up the debuff.

Paid such a huge price to make a Horcrux, what did you get in return?

It is the existence of "the most humble wandering soul" after the death of the main body.

That is to say, Horcrux can't make you "return like lightning" like wearing resurrection armor after death, it can only guarantee you "undead", and you need a series of procedures to be fully resurrected. Without Peter Pettigrew, Voldemort would have been a mouse in the Albanian forest for a long time.

The excessively painful price and this form of "immortality" also discouraged the dark wizards, calling Horcrux the most evil magical invention.

Because wizards are very secretive about Horcruxes, only a very small number of people in the magic world know about Horcruxes, and most others know the name. At Dumbledore's request, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry banned all research related to Horcruxes and removed all material detailing Horcruxes. It was kept by Dumbledore himself.

For immature little wizards, it's best not to even know this term. Mainly because the properties of the Horcrux are very tempting - it's immortal! How can young people understand the price of not dying? Knowing the Horcrux may breed curiosity and want to try it.

This is not good.

To be on the safe side, Tom didn't even dare to mention the term "horcrux" to the little wizards. He replaced the concept of Horcruxes with "evil spirits".
