Hogwarts: Wizards Supreme

When Brian packed his things and returned to the common room, Draco and Blaise had not returned yet.

They probably spent several hours listening to Slughorn reminisce.

Crabbe and Goyle were staring blankly at the parchment in front of them, as if they were trying to decipher it, holding the quills in their hands without moving for a long time.

Daphne was flipping through a "Transfiguration Guide" and frowning while writing her own Transfiguration thesis.

There were fewer people in the common room, mostly senior students doing homework. Several junior students were playing with gadgets bought from the joke shop and whispering excitedly.

Ofer, the Silver Linn Snake, is not here. It couldn't stay any longer after school started, and went to the Forbidden Forest with Brian's permission.

Brian sat next to Daphne. Daphne looked up and smiled: "You came back very early tonight."

"Yeah, there was an accident over there." Brian shook his head. He thought of Snape and Harry getting along tonight, but he felt inexplicably "harmonious".

"You know, I've been studying curses recently." Brian said softly.

Daphne stopped writing, her blue eyes appearing dark green under the light green light.

"I want to see the situation in Astoria," Brian said. "Of course, I can't guarantee that there is a way, but I can go to the Department of Mysteries to find relevant records, or ask experts in this field."

Daphne blinked, her eyes seemed to be covered with a thin layer of water. She was a little moved and said in an excited tone: "Okay, thank you, Brian. By the way, I'll ask Astoria first..."

She said, walking towards Astoria's position. The thin little girl was talking to her friends, her pale face looking even more sickly under the light.

Daphne leaned over and whispered something to Astoria, the two sisters whispered something to each other, Astoria looked at Daphne and Daphne nodded.

Then two people walked towards Brian.

"Astoria, how are you doing recently?" Brian said in a gentle voice.

"Actually, I have nothing to do..." Astoria pinched her long blond hair, "Thank you for caring about me and Daphne."

Daphne's cheeks turned red instantly, she lowered her head and pushed Astoria, who smiled naturally.

The three of them walked to a place where no one was around, and Brian said, "It's okay, I'll take a look at the situation."

Astoria nodded, looking very natural and calm. Since she was born, her parents have been taking him to seek medical advice. After being disappointed again and again, she has been able to face everything very calmly.

Therefore, she is always more calm than Daphne.

Brian pulled out his wand, pointed it at Astoria's chest, and muttered a long list of spells. Under Brian's control, the spell swept through the little girl's body like water, faithfully reflecting everything in Brian's mind.

Brian didn't show any expression, but his heart became more and more solemn.

Daphne waited nervously on the side, her hands clasped tightly, and her face was uneasy.

"Okay, I almost understand the situation." Brian said thoughtfully, "Can I collect some of your blood and hair?"

A person's blood and hair are very important things in magic and should only be given to people they trust, otherwise that person can use these things to curse you or change into your appearance.

"Okay." Astoria glanced at Daphne, nodded, and smiled cutely and innocently.

Soon, the three people returned to their original positions. Daphne held the quill and kept tapping the parchment, Astoria merged into her friends again, and Brian put away the test tubes containing blood and hair, touching his chin in thought.

"How's it going, Brian?" Seeing Brian raise his head, Daphne asked uneasily.

Even though she didn't express any hope, there was still a hint of hope in her eyes.

"It's not a curse that can be broken in a short time." Brian didn't hide it, "Maybe we have to find a way in the Department of Mysteries."

Daphne's eyes darkened, but she quickly raised a smile and said: "It's okay, thank you for helping us, Brian, this is our family's business..."

"That's right, we are friends." Brian gave a calm smile.

"Yes, friend." Daphne lowered her head deeply, and her slightly curly golden hair hung down on her chest, like flowing platinum.

"Do you know why your family was cursed in the first place?" Brian asked.

Daphne tucked her long hair behind her ears and whispered softly: "In fact, that was a long time ago. The Greengrass family was once a very ancient and powerful family, dating back two thousand years ago... However, later, It is declining due to the blood curse passed down from generation to generation.”

"I checked the family secrets and found that the original source of the blood curse was a person called the 'God of Death'..." Daphne frowned, "Maybe this is a code name, but I didn't find any more records."

Brian's eyes widened slightly, looking very surprised.

"It is said that our family once resisted the God of Death and was cursed by him after the failure." Daphne took a deep breath, "This curse is fused in the blood and will only be passed on to girls, bringing us with it in the long years. Countless pains have occurred, and the family has continued to decline."

Brian nodded and fell into thought again, and Daphne also fell into silence.

"Death? No wonder..." Brian found this blood curse very difficult to deal with, "It seems like this is a dead end..."

The blood curse on Astoria has only one ability, and that is to continuously erode her vitality and make her weaken irreversibly. If it cannot be lifted, she may not live to be thirty.

This curse is integrated into her blood, every cell, and every ounce of magic. It is inseparable from her and difficult to remove.

Of course, there is no problem with her soul, but the blood curse on her body is difficult to resolve.

"It's like a slow-release Avada Kedavra." Brian thought of the most appropriate way to express it. The Death Curse erodes a person's vitality instantly, and this curse seems to extend the process to twenty or thirty years.

"Only targeted removal of the curse can remove this curse. Other than that, there is almost no way to separate it with other methods, because the bond is too tight. Even if it is barely separated, Astoria's eroded body will be damaged." She can't hold it." Brian frowned, "Then, unless she can change her body, she can't get rid of it."

"But it's not that easy to change your body." Brian shook his head, "No wonder Dumbledore can't solve it."

In this world, the body is the support of the soul in the world. A soul without a body can only go to the other side of death, unless that person has a Horcrux as a support like Voldemort.

But it turns out that the Horcrux is a huge pit. Once the soul is divided, it can no longer be called a human being.

Therefore, this blood curse has become a dead end. If you want to get rid of it, you can only change your body, but the soul will be considered dead just after leaving the body and leave this world, unless the soul comes back as a ghost, but by that time there is no hope of resurrection.

"Either find a solution to the curse, but this is probably very slim." Brian came to the conclusion, "Or... create a container similar to a Horcrux, so that it can allow the soul to stay intact in the world like a human body. , and then create a new body..."

But Brian was pretty sure that this kind of technology did not exist in the current wizarding world, and would be difficult to develop in the countless years to come. If such technology really existed, it would mean that wizards would almost be able to live forever.

"Is it the punishment of the 'God of Death'?" Brian sighed, "As expected of the 'God of Death'..."

If the God of Death had not left any solution to the curse, he might just hope to see if there was a solution after gathering the Death God's runes.

After thinking about this matter, Brian thought about Voldemort's curse on the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor position.

It has to be said that Voldemort's level of knowledge can be regarded as the most outstanding in the world today. The curse he left may not be as terrifying and unsolvable as Death's, but it is still difficult enough.

At least Brian only had a few vague solutions after researching for a long time, but the success rate was hard to say.

It can be said that Voldemort acquired a lot of uncommon and powerful black magic knowledge during his years of travels, much of which was within Brian's knowledge blind spot, making his research speed very slow.

"Perhaps we can discuss it with Dumbledore. Anyway, he will definitely be happy to see the result." Brian thought, "It will be a good time to borrow the Sorting Hat then."
