Ancient Warlocks at Hogwarts

Andre told Hermione the story of what happened in the United States in July. As early as last semester, he had already told the little witch about his arrest by the Free Magical Union, and she also knew it. The mentor named Ivan Van Dijk has been coveting the sacred acorn on his body.

Not to mention that last Christmas, there was a war with the Free Magical Union at Granger's house, so there was no need for Andre to hide anything from Hermione.

It was only when Hermione heard that Andre and the others were taken into the underwater palace by Ivan and Teresa and stripped of the sacred acorns that she still screamed nervously.

"Don't worry, am I not in front of you now?" Andre said with a smile.

But the little witch was still a little uneasy. She asked, "That means there are only one sacred acorn left in your body now, right?"

Andre smiled. He did lose a Holy Acorn, but his strength was improved even more than before. This can't be said to be good or bad. It can only be said that there are gains and losses. He continued Then he told what happened next.

"Huh, luckily the Leviathan's special potion you mentioned can make up for the injuries caused by peeling off the sacred acorn, otherwise..." After listening to Andre's story, Hermione was still a little scared. She didn't expect the boy. This trip to the United States would be so dangerous. At first, Andre insisted on going to the United States. She was just worried that the mentor of the Free Magic Guild would send his men to hunt her down. She never expected that she would eventually encounter two strong men in the field of rules. .

If it weren't for Leviathan's special potion that gave Andre the magical ability to transform between objects and monsters, then I'm afraid she would never be able to see him again. With Ivan's character, they would never let go of those who have lost their use value. Andre, and Sophia, who is preparing lunch at the moment.

But now that Andre has returned to Hogsmeade safe and sound, Hermione naturally no longer has to worry about the boy's safety. She remembered the life experience of Sophia she just mentioned, and lowered her voice and asked: " You mean, Miss Daddario’s parents..."

Andre sighed and said: "Because Sophia has the blood of the ancient warlock in her body, she was regarded by the elder of the Salem Witch Association as a vessel that can fuse the blood of Leviathan, so her parents were Teresa was killed, and she was later taken to the Free Magic Guild and raised by Ivan. I know you think that Sophia came from a dark wizard organization, so you have never trusted her, but in fact, for her, this is all The very painful past was not something she could have chosen."

Hermione nodded and said apologetically: "I didn't know Miss Daddario's life experience before. Forget it, I will try to trust her in the future anyway."

Andre breathed a sigh of relief. If Hermione and Sophia had been tit-for-tat like this, he would have had a hard time in the past few days before the start of school. Of course, he was just telling the little witch about his palace at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. During the encounter, he naturally omitted Sophia's confession to him, otherwise Hermione might not be so easy to talk to even if she knew the other party's miserable life experience.

Next, the little witch officially settled in this alchemy shop. Because the house only had two rooms, it was obviously impossible for her to sleep with Andre, so she had to live in Sophia's room.

To Andre's expectation, after telling Hermione about Sophia's life experience that day, and the two of them sleeping together at night, their relationship seemed to heat up immediately, and they were no longer the same as before. It's the first time I've seen that.

For him, this is naturally a good thing, but he has no idea how the girl's relationship developed before. One moment, he was an enemy who wanted to hear about the other person immediately, but the next moment, he even went to the toilet together. .

But these days passed quickly, and they were about to usher in their third year at Hogwarts.

Although Hermione originally told Mr. Granger that she wanted to come to Andre to study magic, because Hogsmeade is not within the detection range of the Ministry of Magic. To be precise, there are too many wizards here and there is no way to distinguish them. Whether underage wizards use magic illegally.

But in fact, after arriving here, Hermione only went to the basement once, and never set foot in the magic laboratory that Andre specially arranged for herself. On the one hand, the facilities inside are indeed very limited, and on the other hand, This is what she has been talking to Sophia in the past few days.

But speaking of it, Hermione really didn't have many same-sex friends in Gryffindor with whom she could communicate. The only one she could count was Ginny, but she was a grade younger than them. Basically, except for the Gryffindor public at night, It is difficult to meet each other in the lounge and during meals in the auditorium.

Although Sophia is several years older than Hermione, she is a very talkable friend to the already somewhat precocious little witch.

"Then, the next time we meet will probably be when the school opens Hogsmeade for the weekend." When the day of school finally came, Andre said goodbye to Sophia with some reluctance.

"Sister Sophia, I will come to see you then." Hermione was looking forward to returning to Hogwarts, and she waved to the witch.

Sophia just smiled gently and sent the two of them out of the muddy alley where the alchemy shop was.

"I really didn't expect that I don't need to go to King's Station to take the Hogwarts Express this time to go back to school. I can just go directly from here to Hogsmeade Station and wait." Walking next to Andre, Hermione was a little excited. said.

When Andre first entered the school, because he was much taller than his peers, he didn't seem to match up with anyone. Now, although he has merged with Leviathan's characteristics, he has made a huge leap forward. , but others have also begun to enter the growth stage, like Hermione, who has grown to about 1.6 meters. At this moment, the two of them are walking side by side, and they seem to be a very good match.

While chatting, they walked towards Hogsmeade Station, and soon they arrived at their destination.

Hagrid is already waiting here. He is responsible for picking up the first-year students at the beginning of each school year. Even though he has accepted the position of Professor of Care of Magical Creatures, he still has not given up this job.

"Hi, Andre," Hagrid was still a little surprised to see Andre appear with Hermione. He had not gone to the Pig's Head Bar to drink recently. In order to cope with his first Care of Magical Creatures class after the start of school, he But he had been carefully preparing for a long time, so he had no idea that the little witch had actually stayed at Andre's house these days. "The train hasn't arrived yet, has it? Why are you here, Hermione?"

"Hi, Hagrid," Hermione was not embarrassed, she said openly: "I have been staying in Hogsmeade recently. As you know, I can't conduct magic experiments in London, so I specially Andre stayed here for a while."

Valley</span> "Oh, that's it," Hagrid suddenly realized, he smiled and said: "I thought you two were so good at arriving at the station together."

The three of them got together and chatted for a while about their summer vacation. Of course, Andre would definitely not reveal anything about his trip to the United States. Although he trusted Hagrid very much, the mixed-race giant's mouth was indeed not very good at keeping secrets. , not to mention that this journey also involves a legendary giant beast. With Hagrid's character, if he knew about the existence of Leviathan, he might be ready to go to the palace on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean immediately. He didn't care. What is dangerous or not dangerous?

As the roar of the train came from the distance, the three finally ended their conversation.

The Hogwarts Express is about to pull into the station.

"Andre! Hagrid!" Ron was the first to rush out of the carriage. He greeted with excitement: "Hey, Hermione, why are you here?"

Behind him was naturally the indifferent Harry. He also looked at Hermione curiously. They had looked for the little witch on the train just now, but they couldn't find any trace of her even after walking all over the carriage. .

"I've been staying at Andre's house recently," Hermione explained, "so I came here from Hogsmeade with him."

"I asked why I couldn't find you on the train. It turns out you were with Andinglu." Ron's face was full of surprise. He knew that there were no adults in Andre's family, but Hermione actually lived with the boy. .

"My cousin has come back," Andre clearly guessed what Ron was thinking right away, and he explained in a subtle way.

Harry didn't feel anything wrong about this. He was very happy to see his friends again after two months of absence. "You must not know where Sirius and I went during the summer vacation."

Hearing what Harry said, Andre was stunned for a moment. Before the holiday, Sirius said that he accepted the task assigned to him by Professor Dumbledore to track down Voldemort. Could it be that he actually took Harry with him? This is really Bold enough.

"I went to Egypt with my parents during the holidays. It was also a very interesting trip. You would never imagine how strange the wizards in Egypt are. They can't actually ride broomsticks." Apparently Harry had told him on the train. Ron had forgotten about his vacation, so the youngest son of the Weasley family did not ask Harry what he had just done, but started to show off his trip to Egypt this summer.

Andre is not interested in Ron's journey. The Egyptian magic world is indeed very different from that in Europe, but Ron can only see the surface. What's more, he has now come into contact with the field of rules, and his vision is naturally different. An ordinary third grade wizard can compare.

But where Harry and Sirius went during the holidays, he wanted to know more. After all, it might be about Voldemort. Although the Dark Lord fell silent for the time being, everyone knew that he would definitely come back, especially... Now that he has been resurrected with the help of Ivan, even if he has not fully recovered his former strength, he will not be content with being lonely. Britain, his original base camp, has too many former Death Eaters who have not been imprisoned in Azkaban. only.

Last year, out of caution, Voldemort only found Larry Farley and the newly developed Myrna. But after the plan failed, no one knew whether he would summon those of his again under pressure. subordinates.

Even if he is a vacillating loser like Malfoy, as far as Andre knows, there are loyal Death Eaters like Barty Crouch Jr., although that guy should still be under house arrest by his father. , Voldemort, who came out of the Albanian forest in advance, most likely did not know that his loyal subordinate was still alive.

But besides that, there were too many Death Eaters that Andre didn't know existed.

Moreover, it is easy for fools and geniuses to appear in pure-blood wizard families, and most of them have one thing in common, that is, they are very extreme and are keen to restore the glory of pure-blood rule. Once Voldemort regains power, these people will easily into his service.

"We'll talk about it in the car later." Seeing that Harry was about to tell the story of his summer vacation adventures, Andre stopped him. There were many Slytherin students around them now, although most of them They are all just ordinary students, but there is no Death Eater reserve developed by Voldemort again. Just like Milna last year, Salazar's academy itself is a hotbed for cultivating Death Eaters. Their The academy's motto always emphasizes things like lineage, honor, and rights that are easy for people to get lost in.

Harry also realized this, and he quickly shut his mouth. It seemed that Andre was right as he expected. The savior's actions with Sirius during the holidays did indeed involve Voldemort, otherwise he would not be so conscious.

On the other side, Hagrid led the first-year students towards the shore of the Black Lake. He waved to Andre and the others, signaling to see them later.

The four Andres also found a Thestral carriage, and rode the carriage that seemed to be driven out of thin air to speed towards the castle.

"Did Sirius take you to track down the mysterious man?" Andre asked with a frown after getting in the car.

Harry nodded and said: "Actually, it's not tracking Voldemort. We still don't know where he is hiding. It's just that Sirius has received clues that someone is contacting vampires over in Italy, so during the summer vacation, He took me to Italy to see if Voldemort was secretly seeking help from these dark creatures."

So that's it, Andre thought about it. No matter how courageous Sirius was, he would definitely not dare to take Harry directly to find Voldemort, but he didn't expect that the Dark Lord would rush there before he could regain his strength. Looking for vampires, he knew that after Voldemort regained his previous strength, he would definitely summon these dark creatures and strengthen the power he summoned, but at this moment, he should not have the ability to make vampires surrender.

Although he has not really come into contact with this mysterious race even among wizards since entering the magic world, Andre still has a lot of knowledge about it in books. Regarding vampires, they are born with the ability to cast spells, and they can also Using magic wands and having some relatively special talents, but relying on blood to sustain life, prevents them from appearing openly in the wizarding world.

However, compared to the uncontrollable power of werewolves, vampires are undoubtedly more difficult to deal with. If Voldemort really convinces them, then the power he can use next will be more terrifying.
