Hogwarts, was gnawed at the beginning

Hermione's current state obviously wouldn't allow her to sit down with Soul and have a date at Mrs. Puddieff's teahouse, drinking tea and snacks.

But Suer obviously didn't want to miss this rare opportunity to relax.

In addition, there is an old man who has been waiting eagerly in Hogsmeade, and he has already written a lot of letters to Soul.

It's not that the old man can't come to Hogwarts to look for Soul, but his identity is known to many professors. If he sees him arrogantly coming to Hogwarts just to find a little wizard, it will inevitably attract the attention of interested people.

Well, this mainly refers to Dumbledore...

So, in the Pig's Head Bar, Aberforth stared longingly at Sur, who had just arrived. Sur couldn't stand it anymore, so he pulled out his wand and released the Patronus.

He was still a very smart little badger. In fact, in Aberforth's life, he had seen a Patronus more than once, but no Patronus made him feel like he had found a treasure in his heart.

That's...his sister.

"I took these from the library at home. All the records about the Patronus Charm. See if there is anything that can help Arianna."

Aberforth placed a thick stack of books in front of Soul, locked the bar door, and staggered upstairs holding Soul's patronus.

This old man didn't even prepare a glass of water for himself. Isn't it too realistic?

Suer shook his head helplessly and turned his attention to the books stacked high on the table.

"[The mystery of the Patron Saint Curse], [The Patron Saint you don't know], [The wonderful connection between the Patron Saint Curse and the wizard's emotions], [What is the nature of the Patron Saint?]..."

Suer briefly flipped through the books on the table. Judging from the appearance, these books had obviously been in the library for a long time. They were older than several Suers put together. This was evident from the yellowing pages. can be distinguished.

In this afternoon, I could only read one of them at most. Of course, Suer had to be selective. Although the first few books were very old, judging from the names, they should be no different from those in the library. Maybe the ones in There will be good views.

Here, it is necessary to mention the reading habits of wizards. They usually read the title and author of the book first, because for books in the wizarding world, the content of the book matches the name, or the name is the abbreviation of the content of the book.

The author means the gold content of the book.

It was a pity that Soul had seen quite a few of the authors' names in the books that Aberforth had brought in the Hogwarts library.

"Huh?" At this time, Su Er touched a book in his hand. It is not appropriate to call it a book. It is more vivid to describe it as a booklet, because it only has a dozen thin pieces of paper.

Su Er let out a light sigh in his mouth, but for no other reason, this 'book' didn't feel like a 'book' at all. It didn't have the friction of paper. Instead, it looked like it was made of some kind of leather.

This was strange. Soul pulled it out from the stack of books.

The cover is unremarkable and blank. When you turn to the first page, the text appears. I don’t know what it is written in. It is golden---'The connection between the Patronus Charm and the soul.'

Looking below this line of text, there is a name that Soul is very familiar with---'Helga Hufflepuff'

Now Soul is interested. Ms. Hufflepuff's books? ? ?

"Hey, have you noticed this book?" Aberforth's voice came from the stairs not far away,

"When I got these books from Albus, I was still hesitating whether to show you this book or not."

"If nothing else, can you guess what the pages of this book are made of?"

After hearing this, Su Er touched the thin booklet in his hand again, a little surprised.

"The skin of some magical animal?"

Aberforth shook his head and chuckled, "Wrong! It's made from human skin, peeled off alive."

If Aberforth had said such words in a calm tone, Sur might still be a little scared, but Aberforth's tone was clearly teasing, like scaring a child, so Sur was no longer afraid. .

"Why? It is said that Ms. Hufflepuff is a kind-hearted person. She can't be so evil, right?"

Seeing that Aberforth failed to see the interesting expression on Soul's face as expected, he showed a boring expression, which was strangely authentic.

"Who told you that Ms. Hufflepuff was a gentle and kind person? In that era thousands of years ago, wizards lived in dire straits. The material in this book comes from those dark wizards who were greedy for the treasures of the Four Giants thousands of years ago."

"Ms. Hufflepuff did it herself."

"Among the Big Four, Ms. Hufflepuff is the one who hides the most. Albus once told me that even Slytherins are not willing to provoke Ms. Hufflepuff."

"Honest people are the most terrifying."

Su Er nodded and returned his gaze to the booklet in his hand.

"The content of this book is very profound. You can read it, but don't delve too deeply." Aberforth warned, taking a bottle of wine from the counter.

"Take your time, it's best to return to the castle at night."

"By the way, these words are said to be mixed with the blood of those dark wizards. You'd better be careful when reading them."

After saying that, Aberforth went upstairs to talk to his sister, leaving Soul alone at the table downstairs, looking thoughtfully at the thin book under the dim light. .

Sur didn't take Aberforth's last words to heart. If this book had been circulated for thousands of years, and if there really was any power left, or a curse, as Aberforth said, there probably wouldn't be anything by now. Horrible things are, at most, hallucinations.

Hallucinations will not have any impact on Sur, who has practiced Occlumency.

Turning to the second page, there is a warning written by Ms. Hufflepuff---

"Later, there are some words I must write before reading the official content. I hope you can read it carefully and be fully prepared."

"The soul is extremely complex and profound. Even I cannot say that I have a complete understanding of it. The following content is all based on theoretical speculation. Before you have the strength, you should never try to apply it to reality."

"The Patronus Charm already existed in my time. It came from an earlier era. This aroused my and Rowena's interest. We studied it for a very long time."

Rowena Ravenclaw?Su Er paused here, then looked down.

"In the past, people believed that the patron saint was the embodiment of the souls of deceased relatives and friends. I have reason to suspect that it has something in common with the world of the dead."

"After my many explorations, I found that the patron saint is not related to the deceased relatives and friends of the releaser, but it does have a connection with the world of the dead."

"This involves the deeper application of the Patron Saint Spell. There is a higher realm beyond the physical Patron Saint. This is something that has been confirmed, but unfortunately, I am already very old at this time. , some problems arose between us, which involved a lot of my energy, and I was unable to continue to study it in depth.

"So I'm going to put my guess in what follows."

"Latercomer, if you can get a glimpse of the future realm, if my guess can be confirmed, I hope you can go to Hogwarts Castle to find my portrait and tell her that my guess is correct and that my research is not wrong. .”

"Latecomers, once again warn, your strength has not reached a higher level, so please do not conduct experiments."
