Ancient Warlocks at Hogwarts

"Quiêtes-vous?" An old voice sounded behind Andre, which made him feel like his pores stood up.

The wand held tightly in his hand pointed at the source of the sound as Andre turned around.

But he soon breathed a sigh of relief. The other person was not a living person, just a portrait.

And if you look carefully, the old man in the portrait is quite similar to Andre before his transformation.

"Are you Mr. Aubrey Adrian? Sorry, can you speak English? I don't understand French."

"Yes, I am Aubrey, so who are you?" Adrian's English was very fluent, at least not worse than Mr. Goblin's London accent.

However, he looked a little excited, which was not difficult to understand. Judging from the state of the house, he had not spoken to anyone else for at least ten years.

"If I'm not mistaken, I should be your grandson. My name is Andrei Jovanovich Ivanov." Andrei bowed politely and used the human transformation technique on his face. Lift.

The old man was a little surprised. He looked at Andre's movements with complicated eyes, and then said: "Although you do look very similar to my daughter Anna, you also know that I can't believe you easily. There are people in the magic world. There are too many ways to change your appearance, not to mention you just used one in front of me."

"Of course," Andre nodded in agreement: "But I wonder if this alchemy tool can help you confirm my identity?"

He took out the bronze disc from his space pocket.

Adrian looked at the disc and was silent for a long time before continuing: "Of course, my child. But where did you get this disc? Although I don't know what happened outside these years, it It shouldn’t be in your hands.”

This passage gave Andre some insights. It seems that the previous guess that the actual owner of the Gringotts underground vault was not his grandfather was correct. From beginning to end, this matter was caused by Goblin Cole. A scheme designed by the dark wizard organization behind him, there is no so-called legacy at all.

So he told the portrait one by one what had happened in the past few days since he received the letter.

After he finished speaking, Adrian shook his head and said, "No, I never thought about driving Ana out of the house!"

Hearing this, Andre was stunned for a moment, and then explained: "I'm sorry, because my parents passed away before I became sensible, so..."

"It's not your fault, child. It's my fault. It was me who harmed Anna and you..." Adrian lamented and said, "Actually, your mother Anna does not have magic talent. Sometimes fate Always fond of making some bad jokes, but I have never felt that Anna's existence was a stain on the name Adrian. Magical talent or not, I still love her as always."

The old man stopped and calmed down before continuing: "About 20 years ago, I was targeted by a dark wizard organization because of my careless friendship. They coveted the ancient warlock inheritance in my hands and tried their best to get it from me. I snatched this inheritance from you. You have to know that I was alone at the time, and Anna had no ability to cast spells, so in order to protect your mother's safety, I sent her to the home of a farmer couple in Belarus, and modified it with a forgetting spell. The memory of that couple and Anna.”

"At that time, I thought I would be able to solve my troubles and get Anna back soon. But in fact, I gave up this idea after fighting them for the first time."

"If what you said is correct, then what you encountered this time was only the bottom members of this organization, and they did not pay enough attention to you. But the enemies you face next time will be more than just this."

At this point, Adrian's expression suddenly became serious, and he warned: "Child, if you encounter someone who claims to be a mentor in the future, be sure to stay away. Such people are the backbone of the dark wizard organization. There are not many of them in terms of strength, but each one of them possesses unique skills, which are by no means comparable to those of ordinary dark wizards."

"Twenty years ago, I thought I had mastered the inheritance of ancient warlocks. Even Dumbledore, the greatest white wizard in England, would never defeat me easily. But after fighting against the mentor of that organization, I had no ability to resist at all. , until finally I luckily found a chance to escape."

"For the next year, I almost hid in this old house. I left a message in the disk that only the blood descendants of the Adrian family could hear. I drew this portrait of myself and made it. After making all the preparations I could think of, I went out to face the inevitable fate, but after that, I never saw myself coming back."

Andre looked sad after hearing this. Needless to say, this respectable old man apparently died 19 years ago, and his mother probably had no memory of her biological father until her death.

"Don't be too sad, kid, this is all in the past." The old man comforted in the picture frame: "And to be honest, I don't know whether it is right or wrong to bring you here. Adrian's family Although the inheritance is powerful, the enemy is even more terrifying.”

"But even if I don't inherit the inheritance you mentioned, I'm afraid they won't let me go, right?" Andre smiled bitterly: "And I will go back to England immediately after leaving here. I forgot to tell you that I am now They are students of Hogwarts, I think no matter how crazy that organization is, they would not dare to provoke Professor Dumbledore."

"Of course, but they will always look for opportunities. Maybe I shouldn't have been lucky in the first place, so at least my grandson wouldn't be in danger." The old man sighed: "Well, now that it's like this, then I’d better tell you the history of Adrian’s family first.”

Andre immediately sat up straight. He had always been curious about what made the goblin and a group of dark wizards try so hard to deal with him.

"Our family was not originally French, but Celts from Wales. They moved from England to France around the Middle Ages." The old man's voice was slightly hoarse, and he whispered to his grandson. Talking about the history of the family: "I don't know if you know about the Druid sect. Our ancestor was a priest of the Druid sect. She left the inheritance of this ancient warlock sect to the family, but also because of this inheritance, It triggered everything that happened next.”

Hearing this, Andre couldn't help but interjected: "As far as I know, magic in ancient times was no better than it is now. Many practical spells were invented in modern times. Even in the medieval witch-hunting era, many wizards were An example of someone who was burned to death by the Holy See because he didn’t have enough magic power.”

In his opinion, both magic and technology are moving forward after all. It is impossible to say that modern wizards who stand on the shoulders of their predecessors cannot compare to their predecessors.

Adrian just looked at his grandson in amusement, and waited until he finished speaking his point before speaking: "You didn't understand what I meant, kid. We are not talking about the same thing. The ancient warlocks do not refer to the Middle Ages." , and have you ever seen a wizard who transformed into a dragon and soared into the sky?"
