Casting spells

Or is it a chain reaction caused by a specific magic item?

Since he didn't observe the situation at that time, he couldn't speculate on any results at all, and even the recurrence spells often used by some wizards all failed.

Just when he thought he had once again entered a dead end, Lucius Malfoy suddenly opened the door and barged in, shouting excitedly: "This is great news! Hogwarts will stop holding the next semester." The Triwizard Tournament that has lasted for more than 700 years. I believe that old man Dumbledore will definitely be troubled by this. As long as he makes a mistake, we can use it as an excuse to attack, even if we can’t drive him away, we can also introduce More decrees restricting principals' powers."

"Oh? It sounds interesting, but I'm more concerned about the Dark Lord's plan. Tell me, how does he plan to announce his return?" Zhang Cheng turned around slowly, with a playful expression on his face.

You must know that Peter Pettigrew is dead, and was burned to ashes by Harry Potter with the fire of the deep hell.

He wondered now how Voldemort planned to complete his resurrection without his own help, especially the release of one of his most loyal servants, Barty Crouch Jr.

"Sorry, he didn't mention this matter, but he just asked me to prepare a few extra tickets for the Quidditch World Cup. I heard that he took in two new servants a while ago, and he probably will take advantage of this opportunity Summon the Death Eaters." Lucius guessed in an uncertain tone.

"New servant?" Zhang Cheng's eyes showed surprise.

Lucius nodded solemnly: "Yes! One is called Madil, and the other is called Cindy. All I know is that they are crazy duel lovers. They take part in at least five duels every year, and each time they will brutally kill each other. He is a deadly opponent, so he is wanted by the entire European magic community."

"I see... It seems that our Lord Dark Lord is really charming, no matter where he goes, he can meet his fanatical admirers, isn't it?" Zhang Cheng teased meaningfully.

This time, Lucius wisely kept his mouth shut and did not participate in the discussion.

As a nobleman, he didn't want to be targeted by the murderous Voldemort just because of his quick tongue.

Zhang Cheng walked around the basement twice, and suddenly said, "Get me two tickets to the Quidditch World Cup, I want to see with my own eyes what the hell he's up to."

"It's a small matter!" Lucius readily agreed without any hesitation.

Perhaps for an ordinary wizarding family, it would take several months of savings to buy an expensive admission ticket, but for him who has acquired countless properties, it is not even a drizzle.

……

Time flies, and more than a week has passed in the blink of an eye.

As the Quidditch World Cup final day approached, the entire British wizarding world entered a state of carnival, even Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy, who had matured a lot, were no exception.

sports!

Especially intense confrontational sports can always arouse the primitive instinct hidden in the human subconscious.

To some extent, it is a continuation of the hunting and killing impulse, which can make people's spirits fall into a state of extreme excitement.

But unfortunately, Zhang Cheng has long been unable to feel this. He just came to Hermione's house alone with two tickets for the VIP seats, but just as soon as they met, he saw Mrs. Granger's face was full of sadness. .

Out of politeness, he took the initiative to ask: "Madam, are you in any trouble?"

"It's Hermione! She locked herself in the room for more than a week and didn't let us in. I was worried that something was wrong with her. You know, magic..." The latter obviously hesitated, but Finally told the truth.

After all, it is quite difficult for ordinary families to accept a daughter becoming a wizard, not to mention that accidental injuries may be caused from time to time in the process of learning magic.

"Don't worry, if you don't mind, I can go up and have a look." Zhang Cheng took the initiative to accept this easy task with a smile on his face.

"Thank you so much! I really don't know what to say. Hermione is upstairs, you can go up and find her yourself." Mrs. Granger hurriedly pointed to the room on the right side of the stairs on the second floor.

Without any hesitation, Zhang Cheng went directly to the door and knocked lightly on the door.

Soon, the girl's restless voice came from the door: "Damn it! Mom! I've said it all, don't bother me."

"It's me, Miss Granger. No matter what happens, you'd better open the door first, don't you think that a mere door can prevent me from going in?" Zhang Cheng joked in a half-joking tone.

"Teach...Professor?!"

Hermione was undoubtedly taken aback, there was a loud crashing sound in the room, and she didn't know what knocked it down.

After 1 minute, the closed door opened a gap.

I saw that the girl was wrapped tightly in blankets all over her body. She carefully inspected the surroundings and opened the door completely after confirming that her parents were not there. She urged in a low voice, "Quick! Come in!"

"What are you doing?"

When Zhang Cheng walked into the room, the first thing he saw were books and notes densely piled up on the bed, floor, and table, and there was even a tongs pot used to make potions.

"I... I don't know too well, you'd better see for yourself."

After locking the door, Hermione took off the blanket covering her body, revealing her stunning body, hair and face...

Chapter 756 Gentle Trap

Deep blue eyes like jewels, hair flowing like water, and the rich water element surrounding the body and skin surface...

The state of the young girl in front of her is not like a normal human being at all. On the contrary, she has many similarities with magical creatures such as dryads and water goblins.

"Unbelievable! I have to say, dear Miss Granger, your current appearance is extremely beautiful..." The corners of Zhang Cheng's mouth slightly raised, not hiding the surprise in his heart.

You must know that in this world, there are generally two relatively reliable speculations about the origin of wizards.

One of these is that all human wizards were originally born from the hybrid offspring of ordinary humans combined with magical beings.

To put it simply, this speculation is that the first human beings did not have the ability to cast spells, but obtained the corresponding genes from magical creatures, and then obtained a special ethnic group that was passed on by blood through continuous blood mixing.

It's just that as this kind of transmission continued to spread, some unpredictable changes gradually appeared.

For example, even if two wizards combine, there is a certain chance that a "squib" that cannot release magic will be born; another example is that in the process of the wizard's bloodline transmission, the gene that determines magic gradually becomes recessive and continues to spread among the offspring until a certain offspring is hidden. The sex gene is suddenly activated to regain the talent for spellcasting.

If this inference is correct, then those "mudbloods" who are despised by pure-blooded nobles can actually be regarded as descendants of wizards, but they have lived in the world of ordinary people for so long that they have completely cut off contact with magic. world connection.

As for another inference, it is derived from ancient myths and legends.

It is said that in ancient times, human beings were still in the period of primitive tribes drinking blood, and there was a magic explosion on the earth.

At that time, all humans and animals near the explosion node inevitably mutated. Animals mutated into the current magical creatures, while humans mutated into goblins, Veela, elves, wizards and other different forms.

In short, no matter which one it is, the mutation that occurred in the girl is very likely to belong to a kind of atavism, which is a manifestation of the complete activation of the recessive gene.

But it's a pity that Hermione obviously didn't think so. She covered her face and cried, "Beauty? Professor, now is not the time to joke. You know, I'm going to die of worry these days. If I can't return to normal, I will How can I go out and meet people?"

"No, no, no, Miss Granger, I'm not kidding. Take a good look at yourself in the mirror and feel the powerful magic flowing in your veins. I guarantee that even if Dumbledore and Voldemort see you now, they will I can't help but salivate greedily. I guarantee that for every powerful wizard, you are the most beautiful goddess in their eyes." Zhang Cheng put his hand on the girl's shoulder, and whispered softly in her ear.

Hermione was obviously not used to this kind of behavior that was too intimate with adult men, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, her face was quickly covered with a faint blush, and she stammered: "But... But, I can't just go out like this ? My mom and dad would be terrified."

"Don't worry, I think a shapeshifting earring should be able to handle it easily."

I saw Zhang Cheng take out a white pearl earring from the magic pocket, and lightly tie it on the earlobe of Miss "Know everything".

"what!"

The slight sting made Hermione cry out, but soon found that the pierced part was not bleeding, and there were some strange information in her mind, as if just one thought could change her appearance.

Driven by strong curiosity, she closed her eyes and recalled her previous appearance.After waiting for about two or three seconds to open my eyes again, the self in the mirror has returned to normal, but the white and smooth skin has been perfectly preserved, making the whole person look full of the unique elegance and purity of a girl.
