Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

Chapter 180 Fear Curse

There was silence around the restricted area. Dumbledore lowered his head and thought about something, while Hagrid subconsciously touched his chest, as if to confirm whether he was really still alive.

"What you just meant is that Lu Wei went crazy because he thought I was dead?"

Hagrid scratched his hair, feeling that his mind was very confused.

 “Well...that’s right.”

Kyle nodded, looked at Dumbledore and asked: "Professor, do you think someone used a confusion spell on Lu Wei."

The three-headed dog's magic resistance is very high, and hitting it with ordinary magic spells is almost like tickling it, but that's also different.

Just like Dumbledore just now, Lu Wei was no different from a weak doll in front of him.

 After a coma spell, he fell asleep.

"It's possible." Dumbledore thought for a moment and then said, "But it doesn't look like a simple confusion spell to me."

Kyle frowned and said: "You mean, in addition to the confusion curse, there is another kind of curse on Lu Wei?"

 “That’s right, and it’s also a black magic.”

Dumbledore took two steps forward, bent down and looked at Lu Wei carefully, the tip of his nose almost touching its fur.

Then Dumbledore pointed his wand on the middle head of Lu Wei and murmured: "It's just like what I thought... the fear spell."

 “Fear Curse?” Hagrid was stunned for a moment. It was obviously the first time he had heard of this curse.

“Yes, strictly speaking it is not a traditional black magic. It only appeared fifty years ago. You may not have heard of it.”

Dumbledore stood up and asked: "Kyle, do you know Boggart?"

"Of course, Professor." Kyle said: "It is a magical creature that can shape-shift. It can see into people's hearts and transform into what they fear most."

"Is this black magic inspired by Boggart?" Dumbledore put away his wand and said calmly: "It can create illusions, so that people who are under this curse can always see what they fear most. thing."

“It seems that someone cleverly combined the confusion spell and the phobia, which made Lu Wei become what he is now.”

Kyle nodded thoughtfully, he probably understood what Dumbledore meant.

The Fear Curse made Lu Wei see Hagrid's "death" again and again, gradually tormenting his spirit, while the Confusion Curse made him see everyone become a "murderer".

Kyle felt a little lucky.

If Dumbledore hadn't discovered Lu Wei's problem in time, if Lu Wei had broken through the door and ran into the castle...

Kyle shivered and did not dare to continue thinking about it. It was foreseeable that it would definitely be an irreparable disaster.

You should know that most of the professors are on the Quidditch pitch at this moment, and there are only some students left in the castle who are not interested in Quidditch.

If they met the crazy Lu Wei, I'm afraid they would be torn into pieces in just one encounter.

If this happens, I'm afraid Hogwarts will be closed as a result.

 Fortunately...Dumbledore discovered it in time, and the worst case scenario did not occur.

Kyle took a deep breath and asked: "Professor, do you have any solution?"

"Is there a solution?" Dumbledore's eyes flashed, "It's very simple, as long as..."

 “No, Dumbledore!”

At this time, Hagrid suddenly burst into tears and crawled to Dumbledore, begging: "Please... don't kill Lu Wei... he is a good boy... please..."

"I think you misunderstood, Hagrid." Dumbledore looked up at the crying Hagrid, patted his arm and comforted him: "I never said I wanted to kill Lu Wei."

"Really...really?" Hagrid clutched his chest and sobbed. "Of course." Dumbledore smiled: "I promise."

Although it was indeed the simplest and most convenient way to directly kill the three-headed dog Fluffy, Dumbledore never thought of doing so.

 Because in the whole thing, Lu Wei is the most innocent one.

After Hagrid gradually calmed down, Dumbledore continued: "Coincidentally, before I became the headmaster, I happened to study the Fear Curse for a period of time, and I am fairly familiar with it."

"But now, Kyle... could you please accompany Hagrid to the school hospital?"

Dumbledore blinked and said, "I think he needs a good night's sleep now."

Kyle nodded and walked out of the room.

 Obviously, Dumbledore did not want them to participate in what happened next.

Hagrid followed him, turning back every step of the way.

"Oh, I almost forgot..." At this time, Dumbledore's voice came from the room again.

 “Fifty points for Hufflepuff.”

 …

 After leaving the restricted area, Kyle accompanied Hagrid to the school hospital.

Originally, Hagrid didn't like going there, but now he doesn't care so much.

Whenever he thought of Lu Wei's appearance before, Hagrid felt as if needles pricking his heart. This made him unable to concentrate at all, and he almost fell down the stairs several times.

 Dumbledore was right, he really needed a good night's sleep.

 After arriving at the campus hospital, Kyle explained his purpose to Madam Pomfrey, but for some reason, he did not say what happened in the restricted area, only that Hagrid was stimulated.

Madam Pomfrey glanced at Hagrid, who was standing there with his head lowered. Without asking any questions, she just took out her wand and enlarged a bed in the corner.

　　Then she walked to a cabinet, took out a bottle with the label "Water of Life and Death", and poured all the potion inside into a wooden barrel about the same size as the Quaffle.

Madam Pomfrey poured three bottles in total, and then handed the barrel filled with life and death water to Hagrid.

 “Lie down on the bed over there and drink from it.”

Hagrid took the barrel and stumbled over, knocking several beds aside along the way.

 This made Madam Pomfrey very unhappy.

 Fortunately, Kyle set up all the beds in time, so she didn’t say anything, just gave a few words and left.

 Not long after, snoring could be heard in the school hospital.

Kyle finally breathed a sigh of relief and closed the curtain beside the hospital bed.

 After walking out of the campus hospital, Kyle walked quickly across the courtyard, looked up at the direction of the Quidditch pitch, and sighed quietly.

There was no one flying over the stadium anymore, and he could vaguely see a large group of little wizards walking towards the castle.

This all clearly shows that the game is over!

Kyle rubbed his forehead, he had already expected this result.

 It seems to have been like this since last year. Whenever there is an important Quidditch match, he will always encounter something.

 I originally thought there would be some changes this year, but I didn’t expect it to be like this.
