Fire Bearer at Hogwarts

Chapter 23 Invitation

After the last class, Ash gave a class to other third-year students in the school. In the class, he once again demonstrated eating big melons... Of course, the state of the students this time is much better, at least the decibels of screaming are small. a lot.

As for the afternoon, he decided to stay in the office and read the book he borrowed. While reading the book, he was taking notes, and the dense words showed that he was serious about it.

This book is a book about the soul... Ash did not expect that there are people in this world who study the soul. He thought that only the most desperate people would study it.

Phil stood quietly on his shoulder and watched him write. It likes to watch Ash write because his handwriting is very neat and beautiful.

Ash said that he practiced this when he was bored... As for how long was the boredom?Maybe ten years?
After all, you can't do nothing while you're waiting in the abyss.

Ash looked at the bold guess of the author of this book and couldn't help agreeing. The author even believed that dementors were probably made of souls.

It made Ash want to go to that Azkaban...

"Cuckoo~" The cry of an owl came, but it wasn't Phil on his shoulders, but a reddish-brown owl outside the window. Standing outside, this owl felt bloated... trembling Make Ash think it's sick.

But obviously, it should be older.

Ash opened the window and took the letter from the owl's feet. The yellow kraft paper envelope looked a bit shabby, and Ash opened the letter curiously.

"Ash, long time no see... Do you still remember the experiment I told you? My red car... I will definitely succeed this time, do you want to come and see? At ten o'clock on Sunday morning, we See you."

Obviously, this letter came from Mr. Weasley. This red-haired enthusiastic person still liked Ash very much. Since he invited him, Ash thought that he had nothing to do, so he was not going to refuse.

He wrote the reply on a piece of paper casually. He didn't plan to use the envelope, or he hadn't used it before, so he rolled up the letter paper like a warrant.

"The Burrow." He petted the Weasley owl, making Phil a little jealous.

Watching the owl slowly leave, Ash felt that it might not be flying as fast as it could go by itself...

"But Mr. Weasley's car... a car that can be invisible." Ash chuckled, and then focused on his own research.

He has now summed up most of the creatures and objects made up of souls, and only one teaching aid or experimental material is missing...

"Looks like I need to go to Diagon Alley to find a way." Ash thought of Diagon Alley. In this kind of place, he should be able to find what he wants... just a portrait.

"Bang bang." There was a knock on the door, and Ash froze for a moment.

"Come in," he said.

Then I saw Som smiling.

"Som?" Ash was taken aback for a moment, "Is there something wrong?"

Som smiled and shook his head, walked in and sat opposite Ash, "It's nothing, I'm here to talk to you."

"Talk?" Ash shook his head slightly noncommittally, it was really boring...

But after thinking about it, he still put down the quill, as if you can talk if you want to talk.

"I heard that you showed the eight-eyed spider to the students." Som said, it seemed that he had just learned about it.

Ash nodded, "I showed it to the first-year students, and I think it's still very valuable."

"Well..." Som responded, and then continued: "Then you will deal with this eight-eyed spider..." He considered his words, "Do you have any other plans?"

OK!It turns out that they came to me to pluck the wool... What are you thinking, I am going to study this eight-eyed spider tonight.

Ash frowned slightly, "Sorry Som, I have other plans."

Som quickly added: "I just need some eight-eyed spider venom... This is a good potion material."

"Indeed." Ash nodded, the name should be a good poison material.

He thought for a while that he probably wouldn't need that much venom, so he nodded, "Then I'll send it to you tomorrow morning." After researching and collecting some tonight, he's done.

"Thank you Embers." Som thanked with a smile, and then took out a small package from his arms.

"Some tea from the East, I hope you can get used to it."

"East?" Ash couldn't help but think of the girl from the East...

Som nodded with a smile, and then continued: "Your third-year curriculum is too advanced Embers."

"Dumbledore and I have already talked." Ash said, meaning that we have already talked and there is no problem.

"That's not what I mean." Thom explained, "I'm actually going to show the kids about the dark arts...but I don't know how to kill him."

"The ones I know pale in comparison to yours."

Ash smiled and didn't speak. He didn't expect that Professor Som was also a courageous person. Although he wasn't going to show the Unforgivable Curse, or said he wouldn't know the Unforgivable Curse, he still wanted to show the students those other ones. dark magic.

how to say?As expected of a student of Slytherin!
Som also smiled, "After all, the darkness is too close to us."

"That's right." Ash nodded, looking around you, I am the biggest darkness, killing people and stealing souls... I'm not a good person when I think about it.

Som looked out of the window and didn't know what he was thinking. Ash felt that this colleague seemed to have some kind of heavy burden...

"By the way... are you going to Gringotts soon?" Thom asked. "I want to go to Gringotts to pick up something."

"Hmm..." Ash thought for a while, feeling that buying a portrait would definitely require a lot of money, at least what he had with him should not be enough, "Okay, I'm planning to go there soon."

"Then tomorrow? We don't have classes tomorrow." It was obvious that Som had done some homework.

At least he knows to read the class schedule, not like Ash, he only knows when the class is approaching... Knowing also depends on Phil's reminder.

"Yes." Ash nodded after thinking for a while, "Come and find me when the time comes."

"That's it, Embers...tomorrow afternoon..." Som nodded and stood up. It was obvious that he was going to leave.

Seeing Som slowly go out and close the door, Ash looked puzzled... He didn't know what this Professor Som was trying to pull himself on.

It's confusing and skeptical...

But he didn't think about it, he just went to Gringotts to get some money anyway... Ash continued to concentrate on writing his notes, he still had a lot of research to do.

……

Som hummed a little song and strolled in the corridor, and walked a few steps back to his office... There are flowers, plants and books here, it seems that he likes these things very much.

He sat down slowly, his smiling expression became serious... even a little ferocious...

"Master, I didn't find the Philosopher's Stone in Hogwarts..."

"Dumbledore must have kept it in his vault..."

"I need to investigate."

"He trusts me...he can help me distract..."
