time at hogwarts

"Doesn't that mean it's useless?" Harry felt frustrated as he looked at the book that had stopped turning pages on the screen. "And why did he take out such a thick book?"

"The name spell is not that easy to cast." Hermione looked at the three characters Anat on the page and said, "There are many people with the same name, and a name may have dozens or even hundreds or thousands of different results. , if you want to be sure, you need very accurate information. That book should record every wizard family, and the wizard named Adkins is confirming Kang step by step."

In the scene, Dumbledore watched Adkins begin to write the main members of the Anat family on the parchment and said, "It's hard to imagine that this somewhat unorthodox curse was so talked about by everyone in the Middle Ages. 'Black magic', the powerful and wealthy are afraid that their fallen hair and other items will be obtained by wizards, and thus they will be cursed."

"Muggles don't know what black magic and white magic are. They only know that once the wizard knows their names and gets their hair and nails, they are dead. Although it was not the spell that killed them, but from a certain In a sense, they did die under the tracking of this curse."

After speaking, Adkins stopped his quill, picked up his wand and shouted to the parchment full of names,

“Listen to your reputation and show your deeds, Kanganat!”

I saw the parchment flying into the air and shaking violently. The names on it separated from the parchment one by one and floated in the air. Kang's name slowly blurred into an ink dot and absorbed other names and began to float around the office. , it took a while for the ink spots to fade and disappear.

"The result is the same as yours. He is still in Hogwarts, but there is a powerful interference spell in his place. I'm sorry that I couldn't help you."

Dumbledore sighed, "I had expected it, although it's a bit rude to say so."

Adkins put away the thick book, picked up the quill and wrote Kang's name again on the clean parchment, but this time he only wrote his name.Dumbledore saw this and pushed the small plate on his right side in front of him.

Following Dumbledore's movements, Magos and the others also noticed the plate. Looking carefully, they saw several hairs, a seventh-grade magic book and...

"Magic card?" Magos and the others looked at the items half covered by the book in surprise.

"Shouldn't the magic cards be in the hands of Alicia Winnie? I remember she graduated last year. It shouldn't appear in Hogwarts."

"It should have been borrowed by the principal." McGoss replied uncertainly, "It's also possible that Miss Pooh didn't even know she was missing a magic card." '

"Is this a magic prop?" Adkins picked up the magic card and asked.

"An interesting toy was made by Kang and a group of his friends. It contains Kang's magic power." Dumbledore's expression relaxed slightly as he looked at the magic card.

"It seems you are also involved."

"I just tested it for them."

Adkins glanced at the old kid opposite.He placed Kang's hair on the parchment and dropped a few drops from the potion bottle he just took out, then whispered something Magos and the others did not understand the spell.

The hair and a few drops of liquid on the parchment quickly blended together and flowed along Kang's name until it was completely covered.Next, Adkins used his wand to induce a hazy smoke from the book and the magic card to fall on the name. The two smokes entered the liquid on the name and reacted. The originally flat name suddenly became three-dimensional, and the liquid on it became Like a stream flowing along the name again, it seems as if it has come alive.

Next, Adkins muttered something while stroking the parchment with his wand.Dumbledore looked at the names on the parchment attentively.

"What is he doing?" Ron looked at Adkins' actions in confusion.

"It's not written in the book." Hermione looked at Adkins's movements seriously.

For a long time, Adkins paused, then stopped and looked at the parchment.

The name on the parchment was originally black, but after Adkins' actions, it turned into a light black, light red, and gray color.

Dumbledore looked at the names with three colors on his face seriously.

"We must find him quickly. How long can he last?"

"Counting from the day he disappeared, it will be completely replaced by red in up to 20 days."

"20 days..." Dumbledore frowned more and more. "What kind of curse do you know can be described as gray?"

"A lot." Adkins touched the name on the parchment and thought about it.

"Some transformation spells, petrification spells and similar spells related to the earth, as well as some black magic. It is difficult to determine what spell he suffered from the color. I can only confirm that he was attacked by a spell."

"Thank you very much, my friend, at least now we can confirm that there is indeed something harmful to students in the school."

As Dumbledore said these words, the scene in the sky gradually became still and then slowly dissipated.

"20 days? What will happen if all the names turn red?" Harry asked, looking at the others in horror.

"I'm afraid it's what you imagined. If Kang can't be found within 20 days!" McGoss replied thoughtfully.

"How could it be! Dobby, you must know what's right, right? Tell us, where is Kang?" Harry looked at Dobby eagerly and said.

"Dobby doesn't know where Conn is or what happened to him. Dobby can't tell you what he knows." Dobby looked at Harry sadly. Seeing that Harry wanted to pull his arm, he snapped his fingers and disappeared. not see.

"He must know something." Harry looked at the place where Dobby disappeared unwillingly.

"But we don't necessarily know where Kang is and what happened to him?" Hermione shook her head and said.

"We have to find a way." Ron looked at the few people who fell into silence.

"Well, since Kang is missing in school, let's separately inquire about various legends in the school tomorrow. Maybe there will be some clues." McGoss heard Adkins say that the petrification spell is also the color of gray. The basilisk must have taken Kang.He decided not to wait any longer. Although it was originally the petrification and the words on the wall that led Harry and the others to confirm that the murderer was the heir of Slytherin, he could dig out all the campus legends and slowly guide them from that legend. Get it, after all, Kang only has 20 days left.

The next day, McGoss and the others began to work together after class. Hermione went to the library to check, Harry and Ron went to Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff respectively, and McGoss went to Malfoy to help inquire about Si. Colin, a student of Lytlin and Harry's little fan, overheard that they were going to learn about school legends and volunteered to take over Gryffindor's task. They were originally planning to find an excuse to ask the twins to help.
