Hogwarts: Harry's Path to Witches

Chapter 241: What has been lost becomes more valuable - I, the Witch of Despair, am back!

After remembering his descendants, Phineas squinted at the corpse.

As he expected, Regulus had turned into a dark creature, a humiliating Inferi, and would have no peace after death.

Although he had already guessed this situation, Phineas was still full of anger and hatred for Voldemort who had humiliated the Black family.

"Sirius!" Phineas suppressed his anger and shouted loudly,

"Remove the magic from Regulus and bury your poor brother in the Black family cemetery!"

Sirius, who was squatting with Kreacher and mourning Regulus together, raised his head and looked at his great-grandfather in surprise:

"Ah? Old man, what are you talking about?"

Phineas rolled his eyes, feeling a little bit of the non-existent blood:

"I! Here! Say! Remove the Inferi magic from your brother, let him regain his lost dignity, and then bury him!"

"Me?" Sirius pointed at himself, with confusion on his face, "But I don't know this kind of magic!"

"If you ask me to kill the Inferi, this is barely considered my strength. I did it a lot back then."

"But turning the Inferi back into a normal corpse...Old man, this really touches my blind spot of knowledge!"

Phineas sighed forcefully:

"The Black family's library includes "Advanced Black Magic Revealed", "Poisonous Magic", and "Dark Sequence". These are all high-end classics in the field of black magic."

"Go and look through these books. Each one has relevant content, and you can follow the instructions..."

Harley silently put her hands on her sides. If she remembered correctly, these books seemed to be found in her pocket.

"...Forget it, you don't seem willing to read these books, and it takes too much time. I will guide you directly."

Phineas shook his head, rejecting his previous decision.

Looking at Sirius' distrustful gaze, the veins on his forehead were beating faintly.

"My unfilial great-great-grandson, what's that look in your eyes? Is it weird that I know this kind of knowledge?"

"After all, I was also the principal of Hogwarts at that time, and one of the most powerful wizards of my generation! Can you give me some trust?"

"No, I don't have any distrust." Sirius curled his lips.

"I just think you are darker than I thought... Sure enough, the Black family is all the same."

"Don't forget, you are also a Black!" Phineas felt that sooner or later his great-great-grandson would piss him off to death.

"And is it strange that the Black family knows this kind of magic? A powerful dark wizard does not need black magic, but he must understand it!"

"Do you understand this simplest truth?"

Sirius' curled lips never recovered, and he nodded stiffly, choosing not to talk back to his great-grandfather.

Soon, Sirius was carrying Regulus towards another passage, where the Black family's hidden laboratory was.

Professor Lupine and Kreacher followed closely as assistants to assist Sirius in conducting experiments.

Kreacher was also carrying a picture frame containing Phineas and Lady Black.

This frame is the key to Phineas being able to wander between the Black Mansion and Hogwarts. It has not rotted due to special magical treatment.

Harley originally wanted to go with him, but Sirius refused Harley's request.

Although after Professor Dumbledore's "detailed explanation", Sirius had already realized Harley's talent in dark magic.

And he also admitted that Phineas was right. Professor Dumbledore himself was a master of dark magic, but he just didn't like to use it.

But this does not prevent Sirius from hating dark magic from the bottom of his heart, and he does his best not to let Harley come into contact with these vicious magics.

Sirius sincerely hoped that Harry could stay away from the dark arts, at least until Harry came of age.

So he rejected Harley's request for the first time and prohibited Harley from watching.

But Harry actually didn't care. After all, he had a lot of information in his hands and didn't care about the on-site practice of a "novice".

Although I was a little worried about Professor Lupine and Sirius being alone, I didn't know much about Professor Lupine's situation.

However, when Harry helped Professor Lupine get the wand back, she also secretly added a surveillance camera to it.

So she was relatively reassured about the safety of the two of them.

After the two adult wizards left, Harley used the excuse that she was too tired to go back to her room to rest alone.

Naturally, Hermione had no objection and chose to stay in the living room so as not to disturb Harry.

But in fact, once back in the room, Harley took out a wand.

This wand's status among all the treasure wands made by Harry is the same as that of the magic mirror that Harley often uses.

But the difference is that the magic mirror is equivalent to a simple ritual release device, used to help Harley complete curses or various rituals in the shortest possible time.

This wand does not have that many functions. Its main function is to form a clone whose authenticity is difficult to distinguish.

Looking at the tidy bed, Harry threw her wand onto the bed.

The Patronus was summoned by Harry, and a snake hair broke off and merged into the wand.

And streams of magic and black magic also poured out of the magic mirror, and together with the wand treated with a large amount of herbs, a body was quickly formed.

Harley looked at this clone that was exactly the same as herself and nodded with satisfaction.

This clone only needs to act as the sleeping self, so there is no need to inject much consciousness into the core of the patron saint snake hair.

After completing a series of operations, Harry carefully arranged the clone's robe and covered it with a quilt.

Then Harley clapped her hands gently: "Dobby!"

With a sharp "pop" sound, Dobby appeared out of thin air.

"Great Harry Potter, Dobby is willing to serve you!" Dobby shouted excitedly and bowed at the same time.

Harry looked up and down at the house elf in front of her. Although Dobby was still wearing the dirty old pillowcase, his spirits were much better.

It has obviously grown stronger and does not have many scars on its body.

Looking into Harry's eyes, Dobby raised his hands proudly: "Thank you to the kind Harry Potter!"

"As Dobby's new master, she ordered Dobby not to punish him, and to hide in the dark and fake his injuries when the Malfoy family wanted to punish him."

"Thanks to Harry Potter, Dobby hasn't been hurt in a long time!"

As he spoke, Dobby's eyes became red and he was about to shed tears with excitement.

"Okay, Dobby." Harry said with a smile, "No need to say more, it's just a little effort."

"I need you to take me to a place where only house elves can Apparate."

"Okay!" Dobby screamed excitedly, "Dobby will definitely obey Harry Potter's orders, even if it costs Dobby's life!"

"That's not necessary, how could I sacrifice you." Harley shook her head and waved her wand gently.

When she burned the two giant Inferi before, Harley failed to completely destroy them.

Now, the dark green light integrated into the giant's skin formed a position, guiding Harley in the direction of the cave.

Harley transferred this guidance to Dobby, allowing Dobby to locate that place.

A minute later, Dobby and Harry appeared in the center of the island.

Without the green potion's fluorescence, the entire cave became extremely dark, and the darkness seemed to swallow everything.

However, a ball of flame quickly rose from Dobby's fingertips, trying hard to dispel the surrounding darkness.

Harry didn't care what the house elf was doing, but took out his loot from his pocket and threw it back over the pit.

Black flames appeared out of thin air, burning bit by bit against the ice, completely melting the ice sculpture.

After the ice and flames completely dissipated, the black stone slabs and the shallow pits on the ground fit together, and invisible magic flowed through them again.

Harry had originally planned to take these things away, bring them back to the Black Mansion for research, and take the potion.

But when she separated the black stone slab and the ground, she discovered that there was a flow of magic between the two.

In addition, Kreacher mentioned a detail that Regulus finished drinking the potion, but now the potion is full again.

Judging from the time, Voldemort was hunting his parents during that time, and soon lost his power.

He most likely doesn't have time to come here to check out his Horcrux, and he won't have this idea.

So Harley speculated that the potion must have a certain connection with the flow of magic between the stone slab and the ground.

In this case, if you want to take the potion in the stone basin, it is very important to maintain the current environment.

The previous magic fluctuation when the black stone slab was reconnected with the ground also proved Harley's conjecture to a certain extent.

In order to return to sequence four, Harley was not willing to take too many risks.

Fortunately, judging from the smooth flow of magic, the completeness of the magical level, and the certain alchemical knowledge that Nico handed over to Harry, the core of Voldemort's design lies in the stone slabs and stone basins.

As for the connection between the stone slab and the ground, it is just a simple magical channel, and the normal operation of this cave is maintained by the magical energy generated after the death of countless Inferi around it.

Therefore, Harry's previous behavior of taking away the slate did not cause much harm and would not interfere with the properties of the potion.

After reconnecting the stone slab with the ground, Harry ordered Dobby to stay aside. He issued various laws and left a lot of back-ups to avoid problems.

The magic mirror was also thrown aside by Harley. The mirror exuded gray, green and silver light, and revealed a dangerous atmosphere.

After completing the external arrangements, Harry looked at the potion in the stone basin and took out the wand.

She first wanted to reach out to the potion, then she conjured a cup to bite and scoop the potion, and finally she used the Patronus Charm to put the Patronus' hand into the stone basin.

But all attempts failed. There seemed to be an invisible barrier covering the potion, blocking everything out.

Finally, Harley chose to remove the cup hanging from the handle of the stone basin.

A special magic was also cast on the cup, and it slowly eroded upwards along Harley's arm.

This seems to be a special spell that does not cause much harm to the human body, but can make people confused for a short time.

Harry made a simple speculation about this kind of magic. If someone drank the potion with a cup, and then drank the lake water like Regulus and Kreacher, they would provoke the Inferi.

Then there is a high probability that he will not think of using fire to drive away the Inferi, but will only think of other spells that will not do much harm to the Inferi.

Of course, considering the effect of the potion described by Kreacher and the requirement for willpower when performing magic, the wizard who went to the lake to drink water was most likely to be dragged into the water and become a member of the Inferi.

However, Harley's gloves are blooming with a spiritual luster. The fallen Earl himself has the ability of the chaotic field, which is very similar to this kind of magic to a certain extent.

So Harley used the ability of the gloves to easily isolate herself from the influence of the magic on the cup.

"Is this the only cup that can hold the potion?" Harry scooped up a cup of potion from the stone cup in his hand and poured it into the glass he brought.

But the potion in the glass disappeared into the air, and the potion in the stone basin became full again.

"It seems that the seal can only be lifted in this dangerous place," Harley thought silently and made a decision in her heart.

After making sure there were no other dangers on the cup, Harry took out various potion materials from his pocket and quickly prepared a large cup of potion.

This cup of potion is silver-white in color, and every drop of liquid seems to have flames burning, and there seems to be thoughts flowing and jumping in it.

Harry drank the potion without hesitation and let it flow into his belly, but wrapped the potion with his spirituality, preventing them from taking effect now.

Then Harry decisively scooped out a large cup of potion that exuded a dark aura from the stone basin, and drank it all in one gulp.

This emerald green potion seemed to turn into a sharp knife as soon as it entered the mouth, sliding down Harry's throat bit by bit, causing great pain to the body.

After the potion fell into the stomach, it was absorbed by the body instantly.

Then the physical pain disappeared and turned into mental pain.

In Harley's mind, she thought of the first priest who believed in the true God that she killed as an assassin, the first enemy that she burned as a witch, and the enemy that the Witch of Despair killed with her own hands...

These people were wailing in Harley's mind, trying to drag her into hell together and bear the pain together.

"Sure enough, the potion designed by Voldemort didn't hide his malice from the beginning of drinking it?" Harry sneered, not caring at all.

What impact can a dead person have on you?

They can't defeat themselves while they are alive. After death, relying on the power of the spirit world, can they still cause any harm to themselves?

The physical and mental pain caused by this potion was too much for Harry.

Whether it is the ritual of becoming the Pain Witch or the process of playing the Pain Witch, it is much more painful than taking this potion.

There was no obvious emotion on Harry's face. The cup in her hand reached into the stone basin again and scooped out a large cup of potion.

By the time he drank the sixth cup, only half of the potion was left in the stone basin.

The spirituality wrapped in the silver-white liquid in Harry's belly dissipated instantly, and the potion prepared by Harry himself was quickly absorbed.

Harry didn't care about the changes in his body and still scooped up cup after cup of potion unswervingly.

After drinking all twelve cups of potion, the cup in Harry's hand slipped to the floor, and he knelt down weakly, huddled aside.

The girl was sweating crazily all over her body, with a painful expression on her face, as if she had suffered both soul and body torture.

The extraordinary characteristics from the operator are slowly leaving Harley's body and soul, while the nameless potion from Voldemort is tearing apart the memory of Harley's mythical creature form and awakening it.

A powerful aura is swirling and brewing in the cave, as if some terrifying existence is awakening and taking back its past persona!

Medusa wakes up. Medusa, who was induced to fall into a deep sleep by the operator's extraordinary characteristics, finally wakes up!

"Ah!" Harley suddenly let out a shrill scream, feeling like something attached to her soul was being torn apart!

But the pain only lasted for a short time and then disappeared quickly.

That extraordinary characteristic is condensing in Harley's body and will be released at any time.

Suddenly, the extraordinary characteristics shined brightly, impacting Harley's soul!

There is a consciousness from the extraordinary characteristics that is trying to swallow up the memory covering Harley and let himself be reborn!

However, a smile appeared on the corner of Harry's mouth, with an evil look on his face:

"Got you!"

When Harry obtained the monocle, he discovered that this sealed object had certain living characteristics.

If it were other ways, this might be a chance phenomenon, but this is an extraordinary thing from the audience way!

Harley was extremely impressed with the dangers and weirdness of the audience path, so naturally she would not be unprepared.

Therefore, ever since she obtained this sealed artifact, Harley has been deeply wary of it and has not used it particularly much.

When sealing her own strength, Harley used the witch's unique skills in black magic to forcibly burn the sealed object, causing her mythical creature form to fall into slumber and degrade herself.

At that time, Harley also officially confirmed one thing——

This piece is likely to come from the manipulation of the God's Abandoned Land. The extraordinary characteristics still retain the powerful consciousness of the holder during his lifetime, and has a powerful spiritual imprint!

This consciousness probably came from an era before the Fifth Era. Although it has been polished for thousands of years, it is still extremely tenacious.

But this was what Harry had planned for a long time. How much power could a spiritual imprint that had lasted for thousands of years have, if it was not even a complete soul?

And this battlefield is her own body, her home court, and Harley has an absolute advantage!

So Harley made a decision the month after she came back.

This consciousness will most likely use the opportunity of returning to Sequence Four to overwrite its own memory.

And this is also your opportunity, an important opportunity for you to polish your consciousness, make your soul tougher, and be able to more fully master the forms of mythical creatures!

……

Dobby looked at Harry worriedly, trembling with anxiety when he saw her miserable condition.

But forced by Harry's order, the poor house elf could only stand there, his fingernails almost digging into his flesh.

Finally, under the silent prayers of the house elf, all the abnormal behaviors on Harry's body disappeared, and she stood up from the ground lightly.

"Sure enough, it will be more precious if you lose it and gain it again. Emperor Russell's words are always full of philosophy."

Harley stretched her body, with indescribable joy on her face,

"Based on the fact that Professor Dumbledore is the strongest person in the magic world, now I am not afraid of the entire magic world!"

……

……

(Thanks to the "Nine-tailed Yanhu" boss for the reward!)

(ps. It is mentioned in Kreacher's autobiography in the seventh volume that after Kreacher drank the potion, Voldemort filled the stone basin with the potion.

But in the seventh part, Regulus also finished drinking the potion, and Voldemort never came back here to check on his Horcrux.

But in Part 6, when Professor Dumbledore went to the cave, the potion was full. After he drank it, Voldemort needed to dispose of the potion in Part 7 before he could see the Horcruxes.

Therefore, the author personally prefers that this potion is automatically generated and related to the surrounding Inferi. )
