Harry Potter Morning Light

An ancient Egyptian proverb once said: There are only two animals in the world that can reach the top of the pyramid, one is the eagle and the other is the snail.

As long as it climbs up slowly and hard like a snail, sooner or later it will reach the commanding heights like an eagle, overlooking the dusk or the morning sun together with the "beloveds" born to ride the wind, bathed in golden light. country.

The meandering Nile River has turned into a small stream, and everywhere it passes is green, dotted with white sails. The livestock drinking water by the river look as small as ants, and the smoke from the villages in the distance is curling up.

No one believed that such a country would one day be left with only ruins and prosperous cities abandoned by people and finally buried under the yellow sand.

But as Thutmose IV described on the "Dream Stele" set up between the claws of the Sphinx in the Giza Pyramid, the sand covering the statue will be removed sooner or later.

Pharaoh was as young as Horus at that time, and he spent his youth like other Egyptian princes when they were young. He drove his chariot like the wind between the sand dunes, drew his bow fully, and hunted down the lions and wild goats in the desert.

One day he was tired from hunting and wanted to take a nap, so he fell asleep under the shadow of the Sphinx. In his sleep, the Sphinx spoke to him, look at me, what pain I am suffering, my body It's almost a pile of ruins, the dust in the sky is always invading and oppressing me, I know you are my son, my protector, so come get closer to me, I am with you, I am yours wizard.

So began one of the first "archaeological" digs, the prince had the sand removed, and he fulfilled another promise, repairing the Sphinx's claws and chest.

In the Salem case, people often talk about the "evil eye", which is believed to have the power of curse. However, in ancient Egypt, the Eye of Horus represented resurrection and had the power to prevent demons from taking the opportunity to rebirth.

In the British Museum, there are also several sculptures of pharaohs in the Old Kingdom. Their eyes are decorated with bronze and white crystals, which represent the powerful vitality of the pharaohs, shining like the sun.

Sina, a scholar of the Abbasid Empire, does not believe that the eyes have such a magical function, because he does not believe that air is an organ, but a medium.

It often plays a little trick of refraction with light, deceives human eyes, forms a mirage, and makes lost travelers exhausted for the oasis that does not exist.

When you choose to believe, even if it is false, it will become true.

When you choose not to believe, even if it is true, it will be regarded as false.

What you see with your own eyes doesn't mean it's real. It may be the trick of the great illusionist. Has the Statue of Liberty really disappeared? Or did you think it disappeared?

Magic blossoms only in the souls of a few.

But even wizards are sometimes less creative than Muggles.

This is the talent given to "mortals" by God.

After nightfall, the zenith of the oval hall of the Richelieu Library could not get any light, but the open ventilation windows let in the scorching wind and the sound of traffic outside. Severus raised his wand , closing them one by one.

Goncey and Suzanne pushed aside the tables and chairs in the reading room, leaving an open space in the middle. Lucius Malfoy did not appear. After all, he is playing a Muggle now, and he is not suitable to appear in such a dangerous place. .

No matter how much speculation and preparation one has, even if there are traps on other people's territory, they can only be tricked. Teams playing away games know that other people's home games certainly have an advantage.

After setting up the "Arena", the three of them came to the center of the reading room together.

"You go upstairs," Severus said to the two of them, and he produced a small saucer containing the red ointment he had found in Cuvier's office, which he then heated with a magical flame.

Soon the red smoke permeated like that grotto in the crack of the subway, but it didn't climb all the way, but stopped after reaching a certain position, and then spread around, and soon the entire oval hall The first floor was shrouded in red smoke.

The hall that was originally glowing golden under the lights turned blood red, which looked quite ominous. At this time, Severus took out a weather bottle from Weasley's trick shop and placed it between Florence and Athens. The best selling weather bottle for making snowflakes indoors at Christmas, this one has wind in it.

When the wind blew into the air outlet, there was no reaction at first, but as the wind volume increased, the entire oval hall made a dull sound, as if a giant beast was about to wake up.

The old Richelieu Library also had a pneumatic conveying system. The original designers did not know what secrets they left behind. Anyway, after the muffled noise, all the air outlets started blowing, and the resulting airflow caused the red smoke to continue to climb upwards. , and finally reached the ceiling.

After the red mist touched the glass, the glass began to fall. The same thing happened in the grotto before, but the falling glass ball fell to the ground, broke into pieces, and released the silver scorpion inside.

But these glasses float in the air, slowly merging like water droplets, and finally form a huge mirror.

"Be careful!" Susannah said from the bookshelf on the second floor.

Severus lowered his head, and found that many silver scorpions crawled out of nowhere, and they were rushing towards him densely.

He raised his wand and found that it was useless again, so he took down the golden black silver bow, pulled the non-existent bowstring, and a transparent confusion spell fell into the scorpion.

These scorpions splashed and began to kill each other, and soon turned into "corpses", and then they turned into a pool of mercury-like liquid, and the rubies on their backs that looked like eyes rose slowly, Until it touches the glass on the ceiling.

It changed, from clear glass to golden, as if turning a stone into gold.

"The Philosopher's Stone," said Conseil, staring at the glass that had turned into gold.

"Paris is Nicolome's hometown." Severus said calmly, while using the Confusion Charm with ease to "kill" more scorpions.

"Did you know that the mirrors in ancient Egypt were all bronze?" said Conseil, "maybe it's not gold!"

"How about you take a piece off?" Susannah urged.

"Wait and see," Gonseil said, staring at Severus. "I want to see what happens later."

As if drawn by an invisible force, "Mercury" gradually formed a silver mirror of the same size as the gold mirror above. The two mirrors faced each other, and countless double images appeared, which looked like two mirrors with perspective. A tunnel of effects, leading to the dark and deep distance.

When the last scorpion also "died", they formed two perfect golden ovals, but nothing happened.

"What's next?" Severus asked Gonseil.

"Uh, music?" Conseil said uncertainly.

"I'm asking you!" Severus said stiffly.

"How about a moment?" Conseil said to Suzanne, "like a priestess."

"Me? No!" Susannah screamed "Why would I do that!"

"Why do you come here?" shouted Conseil angrily.

"I can call the police and arrest you." Suzanne said with a frown.

"You can try it," said Conseil sarcastically.

"Enough." Severus said before Susannah replied, "Let me see if there's any clues?"

"I can still use magic normally." Suzanne used the levitating spell to float a book up. "I don't have red mist here."

"Do you still remember that we were in the Louvre?" Goncey said eagerly, "I have the scarab amulet, and I can use magic normally."

"Don't come in." Severus warned in the red mist, "I don't know what this mist is for!"

Conseil looked at the oval space formed by the red mist, said something in French to Suzanne, and then jumped into it.

Visibility was reduced by the red fog, and Gonseil used a fluorescent flash, illuminating Severus' face.

"Look," said Conseil cheerfully, "it works."

"What's your plan?" Severus said dryly.

"I don't know," said Conseil excitedly. "This is really amazing."

"See if you can leave," Severus said, but Gonseil obviously didn't listen, and ran to see the wooden tables and chairs shrouded in fog, which were turning to metal.

It's like the first class of a magic freshman, turning matches into needles.

Severus stared at Goncey's back and whispered something.

During World War II, there was an American general who said that he would rather face two divisions of the Germans than have a division of the French behind him.

Perhaps at this moment Severus was "greeting" like Justin's grandfather who had participated in the Dunkirk evacuation.

At this moment, there was a sudden burst of music.

Lacrymosa dies illa,

On this day of weeping,

qua resort ex favilla

sinners to be judged,

judicandus homo reus.

Will rise from the ashes,

Huic ergo parce Deus,

Lord, please forgive him,

pie Jesu Domine,

Lord, merciful Jesus,

dona eis requiem!

please grant him eternal rest

Amen!

Amen

"It's the library radio," Susannah said. "Who put it on?"

"Interesting." Severus smiled.

Who would have thought that pure-blooded, platinum Malfoy would play with those "Muggle things" like Arthur Weasley.

This song is the song played when Napoleon's coffin returned to Paris-Mozart's Requiem. The section played on the radio is called "lacrimosa".

That day should have been a day of sorrow and tears, but the French described by Victor Hugo were as happy as a festival, as if Napoleon had returned in triumph once again.

"As Beaumarchais said, everything ends with a song." Conseil yelled loudly, "Whatever you want to do, come on! We are ready!"

As soon as his words fell, there was a roar of a lion, as if answering his call.

Immediately afterwards, the two saw that the end of the tunnel in the mercury mirror on the ground was approaching from far away, and a shadow ran towards it. Before the two of them could react, it jumped out of the mirror and stood in the center of the hall.

Gonseil and Severus looked at the sphinx as tall as a two-story building together, momentarily speechless in astonishment.
