All things are three at Hogwarts

Durmstrang's big ship galloped across the sea at a fast speed. It crossed the ocean like a swallow flying across the sky, like the Hogwarts Express crossing the fields, with astonishing speed. The boat moved quietly hour after hour, as if it were driving on the lake. Stars rose in the east, dazzling in the dark night sky.

The wizards who had survived the disaster were unwilling to return to the cabin to sleep, so they gathered on the deck. They kept talking until late into the night, lingering on the side of the ship and watching the brilliant foam dancing on the bow.

Unfortunately, such peace and tranquility only lasted until noon the next day when the crew found Novakmont's twisted and stiff body in the sealed cabin on the bottom floor.

Allen was not interested in watching a dead person. He and Luna spent the entire afternoon studying the new functions of the wand on the deck, and now the scenery on the sea at dusk was amazing. The sunset behind the ship was blood red, the sky was filled with red clouds, and the sky was even more empty. , obviously he was unwilling to let the young master of the Monte family ruin his good mood at the moment.

But the movement in the distance made Allen squint his eyes. He saw three dark shadows in the sky far away from the starboard bow, speeding towards the ship. They were wizards riding broomsticks.

Just as Allen was investigating carefully, the three shadows suddenly disappeared and appeared on the deck instantly.

The leader was a fat and strong young man. He walked towards Cosby with strong steps and hugged him: "Good afternoon Cosby, we received your message saying that a dead body was found, so Come and investigate. Please forgive us for taking so long to find you. It is not easy to locate you who are moving fast at sea."

"Sergey, it would be great if you Aurors could come here. I don't understand why the young master of the Monte family appeared on our ship and died in a closed cabin for no apparent reason." Cosby said. He complained while leading the Aurors towards the bottom cabin.

When the three Aurors appeared on the deck again, Sergei Ivanovich Sidorov frowned. The scars on the body of Novak of the Monte family undoubtedly showed that he had encountered the Kraken. But it happened to be in a sealed cabin that had not been damaged. And this group of British exchange students actually encountered a Kraken attack. Obviously, Kraken should not have appeared at sea during this period, and in the end, Cosby handed over to them the Kraken that was found at the rudder of the ship. The bait made by the demon larvae, as well as the ban on phantom transference and the Firebolt with Novak's name engraved on it, all pointed at the young master of the Monte family who should not have appeared on the ship. But the key issue is that the biggest suspect who lured the Kraken into attacking the ship was the only deceased in this incident.

More detailed questioning of the crew gave Garr a headache. After knowing that Alan Harris was also on this ship and had used the spell to summon the Kraken's tentacles in the previous battle, he could probably determine the approximate number. The course of the incident was a bloody struggle between upper-class families, and the young master of the Monte family was apparently killed by the Harris family from England. But when he tried to approach Alan Harris for questioning, he found that several adult wizards who made him feel like his peers actually had jobs in the British Ministry of Magic. They claimed that they suspected that the attack and the murder of the young Monte family member were part of a coherent conspiracy, and that after failing to murder the entire ship, they killed them using the same spell that Alan Harris used to save everyone. The young master of the Monte family wanted to put the blame on him, and because the place where the incident happened was at a junction, according to the rules, theoretically they had to negotiate with the British Ministry of Magic before they could finally agree on which party would take over the murder case. The last thing I have to mention is that the other party also threatened them, saying that the matter had been truthfully reported to the British Ministry of Magic, and that Alan Harris's father, who was the Deputy Minister of Magic, would personally investigate the matter.

What is even more troublesome are the exchange students from Hogwarts, England, whose lives were threatened on the ship. After knowing that this was a premeditated attack, they clamored to use their family power in England to seek revenge from them. To explain, the captains and sailors who were saved by Alan Harris obviously couldn't ask anything substantial. Without consultation with the British Ministry of Magic and without conclusive evidence, Garr could not use coercive means to deal with this group of astonishingly powerful purebloods like some Muggle wizards with no background. The current situation is that there is no coercive means and it is obviously impossible to obtain decisive evidence. This incident is originally a struggle for power between these families. If an ordinary person with no power like him rashly intervenes, he will unknowingly If you occupy the team, I'm afraid they will be beaten to pieces.

Thinking of this, Gal couldn't help but shudder. He realized that he had put himself in an embarrassing situation during this unfortunate mission. So he took a deep breath and asked his men to take the body and prepare to leave. He planned to report this incident to his superiors "truthfully" and would not mention the speculations without evidence at all. Let the people above worry about this problem. This is not something that an ordinary Auror like him can handle.

What kind of headaches the Aurors and Kobes had were out of Alan's consideration. Currently, his attention was attracted by his wand, which had completed its growth. After absorbing the huge soul of the Kraken, what is different from the past is that the wand, which was originally just a tool for storing souls, also filled its stomach in this feast of souls.

Allen looked at his wand, his eyes as intense as if he were looking at the most magnificent treasure in the world. After some detection, Allen was able to determine that what his wand obtained was a long-lost special ability recorded in the books in the tower. It was a special skill called spell sequencing. This ability was based on the skills in the tower. Records are said to date back to the pharaohs of ancient Egypt.

Although Ravenclaw himself seems to have learned this technique, because its principles cannot be systematically organized and recorded in books or magical illusions like modern magic, there are only some information about this technical ability in the tower. It is recorded in a few words that after selecting the spell that needs to be sequenced, the wand can store a spell, and then the wizard can release the power of the sequenced spell at any time, even while he is casting the spell normally. When cast at the same time, it is like casting two magic spells at the same time. Although this ability can only store one spell at a time, and once it is activated, the spell must be stored again before the ability can be used again, the potential contained in it is enough to make Alan ecstatic, and it will have a great impact on his future. Combat ability brings qualitative improvement.

"At critical moments, if the magic spells are properly combined, unexpected results can be achieved." Allen couldn't help but play with the wand and praise its new ability. For example, when Allen is dealing with an enemy hiding behind an armored curse shield wall, he can use the curse to dispel the shield wall on the one hand, and then use the Avada Kedavra stored in the wand to hit the enemy within an almost negligible time difference. ; Or send two lightning bolts at once to target different enemies. The specific effect depends on what kind of magic spells Allen has stored and what effects he can achieve.

Luna, who was sitting and eating, swallowed what was in her mouth, tilted her head and raised her wand to look at it: "Alan, we can feel the working principle of spell sequencing as we continue to practice this new ability. , maybe this allows us to master this ability ourselves? I mean, the history of humans using magic is much earlier than the history of the wand, even if it can bring convenience to us when we cast spells in this world, But maybe we shouldn’t rely more and more on it?”

Allen raised his head and glanced at Luna's plate. Maybe it was because of the vomiting before that she didn't want to touch the seafood at all, but the pudding was still as good as her usual appetite, and a lot of it was eaten.
