A True Story of a Wizard's Life

Holmes crawled dizzily by the side of the mushroom-growing tree. He was a little confused about what happened to him. He seemed to have seen a little black-haired boy.By the way, when he was about to pull out the mandrake, the little boy suddenly appeared behind him, and then he made a deal, but he passed out before the other party agreed.

But why did he fall down here? From this big tree, he can wish for a wooden house, but there is no medicine field in front of the wooden house, but weeds. Could it be that everything just now was his illusion?

Holmes looked at the poisonous mushroom on the tree. This kind of mushroom really had hallucinatory effects. Not only this kind of mushroom, he saw a bunch of flowers blooming in the grass under the tree. It's hallucinating.

Could it be that he had a brief dream because he smelled the fragrance of flowers?

Holmes suspiciously went to the cabin again. The cabin was full of dust, and the outside was overgrown with weeds. It was not what he remembered.

It is said that he thinks about it every day and dreams at night. Maybe he really came into contact with Mandrakes recently, so he thought that there are people planting Mandrakes here, and why is the grower a little boy?

However, Holmes found that he couldn't remember the face in the dream. He only remembered that the other person had black hair.It seemed like a strange dream.

Gabriel, however, climbed down from the tree. Just now, she noticed that someone was using magic not far away, not in a small area. This kind of magic fluctuated greatly and targeted a wide range of people.

"That direction is where Holmes is going!" Gabriel cursed in his heart, how could it be such a coincidence, if Holmes encountered a wizard who was using magic head-on, or could it be that the wizard used magic on Holmes , no matter what the situation is, it is not a good thing.

Gabriel ran in that direction, and she saw Holmes standing in a daze in front of a piece of wild grass, and there was no trace of the wizard.

Seeing Sherlock Holmes intact, Gabriel was relieved at first, but she soon discovered something weird, there were magic residues on the weeds here, and there really was a wizard just now!

"What are you doing? Are you studying the growth cycle of weeds? Didn't you say you'll be back right away? Why did you come to this place?"

Gabriel's tone became a little more eager, and she even made a move that she would not normally do, actively pulling Holmes' clothes, looking like a child who was afraid of being abandoned by his father.

Holmes thought so too, "I said I'd be right back, but I was just curious when I saw a wooden house. Let's go down the mountain now. Don't worry, I'm not a father who leaves his daughter in the mountains to feed wild animals."

Who cares about this!

Gabriel frowned, Holmes had magic fluctuations on his body, he had been cursed!This is what worries Gabriel. The relationship between wizards and Muggles is definitely not friendly. The wizard who has left doesn't know if he has hurt Holmes.

However, Gabriel couldn't ask the situation straightforwardly. When she was thinking about how to ask, she saw the gorgeous mushrooms Holmes collected in the bamboo basket, "What's so interesting about a log cabin? The geek exists, so do you want to fight him? Or you swallowed a poisonous mushroom, and finally your brain was stimulated, which inspired your courage to go deep into the woods! Or praise your brain, always able to Come up with something that ordinary people can't think of!"

Holmes pretended not to hear Gabriel's words of praise in silence, but his eyes were still suspicious. Before leaving, he looked back at the cabin, still not quite understanding why he had a short dream just now. .

Gabriel didn't miss a single expression of Holmes. She hated Holmes' silence. This man who always kept unnecessary silence at critical moments was really driving people crazy.The blank eyes of Holmes made Gabriel guess that maybe the wizard cast a forgetting spell on Holmes just now. "Father, why are you silent? Let me guess why you came here. Did you see a strangely dressed person, or was there a strange plant, or a flashing black shadow? Have you forgotten Why did I go to the log cabin?"

Holmes really didn't want to listen to Gabriel's chatter. He didn't want to admit that his memory, which he should be proud of, would actually cause problems. I heard that the medical profession is studying a disease of old age. Some people will start to forget when they enter old age. What happened in the past, in the end, I don't even remember who I am.

He is only 37 years old, so he shouldn't suffer from this disease, right?

The movements of Holmes' feet became even quicker. Leave this place and don't listen to Gabriel's ramblings. Sure enough, no matter how silent a child is usually, there will be explosive noises.But he slowed down after walking for a while.The speed of an adult is different from that of a child, and he really has no intention of leaving the little girl behind.

"You can be quiet and don't invite the animals in the forest." Holmes didn't ignore the worry on Gabriel's face, he finally touched Gabriel's head, "I'm just curious to see the wooden house, no What happened, now we go down the mountain!"

Gabriel really didn't expect Holmes to rub her head like a puppy. This kind of paternal head pat did not exist in her memory.She remembered her name and the identities she had once had, but the column about family members seemed to be blank, maybe she was an orphan.

Therefore, Gabriel really didn't know how to ask after the appearance of the head-touching killer. She looked at Holmes' face and decided to observe him closely for the next two days, hoping that nothing else happened except the Forgetting Curse.

On the other way down the mountain, Snape's face was gloomy. He really didn't expect that there would be a Muggle so bold as to reach out and pull out the mature Mandrake. will fall dead.

But what puzzled Snape was that he clearly used the Muggle Repelling Curse. Although the area was not too large, Muggles should not be able to touch the medicine field.

Could it be that the person just now was a squib?Why don't you suspect that the other party is a wizard, let's not talk about the fluctuation of magic power, but which educated wizard would pull a mandrake with his bare hands. This is common sense that Little Potter also knows, let alone the other party is an adult.

Snape still had lingering fears about the scene just now, he didn't want a living person to die before his eyes because of his recklessness.He doesn't sympathize with the other party, but he doesn't want to cause trouble.In the past two days, the valley was very lively. Muggle policemen came again and again, destroying his plan to grow herbs. After selling the batch of mandrakes, he didn't have to come back.

After escaping a siege of dementors, Snape's choice to Apparate to Florence, Italy, was not a hasty choice.

The first is to escape from the center of the storm in England when the attack on the dementors in Azkaban broke out. He has many choices, but it is best to go to the place where the wizard's power is weakest, and the body's magic power can bear it now. He chose Italy as the place to apparate within the scope of his choice. Because of the strong power of the Holy See, few wizards would enter here.

I learned that there are a large number of mandrakes in the valley of Florence. The source of the source is that the owner of the potion shop in his previous life mentioned where he would buy them.

This valley is quite special, there are no other magic plants growing here, only mandrakes exist, all of which are wild, not too many but not too many.

Snape came here hoping to take a batch of mandrakes in exchange for some money, first to buy a second-hand wand and then talk about other things.He is in the process of adapting to the resurrection from the dead. The magic power in his body is far from the state of adolescence, but having magic power does not mean that he can use it.The relationship between magic power and body is mutually adaptive, and he cannot use advanced magic too eagerly.

He came to this valley two months ago. He didn't know much about the horror rumors of Muggles down the mountain. He has been living in the valley and found some mandrakes that were about to mature, so he moved them to the soil and cultivated them. , Waiting for two months to mature, pack it up and sell it for money.

It's also a coincidence that Snape never met Rosa in the mountains, because the road he entered the mountains happened to be a mountain and a mountain, and they were far apart from each other.

However, the police started patrolling the mountain in the past few days, and Snape knew that there was a murder here. He didn't want to get involved in the troubles among Muggles, so he decided to take the mandrake and leave.

Who would have thought that before he left, he would meet a strange Muggle who claimed to be a researcher of herbal medicine. That man didn't smell of plants or trees. Would it be easy to deceive if he thought he looked like a child?

This is really ridiculous.That person might have come here for the murder case at the foot of the mountain. Now the police also have to learn how to act, this is really versatile.

Snape had already inquired about going down the mountain. The murderer also used mandrakes, but it was the kind from the Muggle world.Speaking of madness, there is really no difference between Muggles and wizards. Wizards will use souls for experiments and cut them into pieces, but Muggles will also dismember corpses after killing people. If they can see souls, it is really doubtful. What will they do to the soul.

Since he didn't have a wand in his hand, Snape felt that he should be more cautious in using wandless magic. He didn't completely erase the memory of that person, so he made him forget his face, and then pretended that the other person had inhaled poisonous flower fragrance to cause hallucinations The way he looked, he floated under the big tree.

Then he took away the mandrakes on the medicine field without hesitation, cast some small spells on the cabin and the medicine field, and left the place immediately.He wants to buy a wand first, and then check to see if there are any useful clues to the Azkaban dementor injury incident in England after two months.

Of course Snape would think of the girl who appeared together in Azkaban, and he had enough time in this valley to recall the scene at that time.Then he realized something was wrong, he was in Azkaban before the girl, and dementors are ruthless creatures, they don't kindly wait for you to stick out your wand to attack them.Then the reason why the dementors didn't surround them all at once might also be related to the space vortex.

It's a pity that the scene at the time couldn't dementor the dementor, and of course it couldn't even if it wasn't in that situation.Snape could only guess that he also came to Azkaban through the space vortex, that's why the dementors didn't attack him in the first place.

Then this means that both he and the girl fell out of the space vortex. Could it be that the other party is also a person who came back from the world of the dead?

But the other party was wearing clothes. Snape thought of the fact that he was naked when he opened his eyes, and he wanted to forget this dark history.Of course, it's good for the other person to be wearing clothes, it's one thing to see yourself naked, and another thing to see another naked person fall off.

The other party not only wore clothes, but also carried half a magic wand. In comparison, he came empty-handed, so compared to the option of resurrection from the dead, Snape was more inclined that the other party came to this world because of time and space magic, but It was seriously injured.

Regardless of this mysterious girl, his own state is so incomprehensible.He had seen the three Deathly Hallows before, the invisibility cloak of the Potter family, the Resurrection Stone that made Dumbledore cursed and died, and the Elder Wand. Speaking of which, the three had never been gathered together. What kind of situation will the three meet, can it really bring people back from the dead?

And whether it is possible or not, how to explain his own resurrection from the dead, where will this new life lead him?Strange age, unexplainable reason for coming, why is he having a new life, is it really possible to use luck or magic to explain it?

However, after Gabriel and Holmes went down the mountain, neither of them talked about the cabin again.Gabriel observed Holmes for several days, and she was relieved to find that there was nothing wrong with Holmes.

The two did not stay in Florence, but went north to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. After this stop, they might go east from the mainland to the east, where they really avoided Moriarty's minions.

Not long after the two of them left Florence, the crime was not complicated in the eyes of Holmes, but the criminal motive and the criminal's physical signs were rare, and the case spread in Italy.The strange burial method of the six corpses cast a veil of mystery on the mandrake.Its flower language 'horror' also has a reality proof.

And a few middle-aged men came to Florence from the Reichenbach Falls in the south of Meiringen with a British accent. They said they were here for tourism, but they were also concerned about whether there were any British tourists here. middle-aged man.

But there was no such man at all. When asked about Mrs. Binger, the proprietress of the inn said that there were no single men staying here, and the only ones who came to their place recently were a father and daughter.That father is definitely a gentle and loving father, who dotes on his daughter too much. Of course, the little girl also has reasons to be doted on. She is a well-behaved and sweet child. After seeing it, I really want to have one myself.

The middle-aged men lost interest in listening to Mrs. Binger in an instant. If Holmes was a gentle and loving father who obeyed his daughter's demands, this would be the funniest joke in continental Europe at the end of this century.

Hungary is a place with large regional temperature differences, although physically it is far less difficult to live with than London.

After Gabriel left Italy, she reflected on her provocative behavior. She decided not to continue to provoke Sherlock Holmes to solve the case*. On the way, she had seen different language versions of Sherlock Holmes stories. Regarding the death of a generation of wizards in London, Added and deepened a chill to this winter.

She is soberly aware of how famous the father she casually recognizes is, and if he is so famous, he can easily solve the problems that embarrass the police from all over the world.This ability has not been damaged because Holmes is far away from the British headquarters. First of all, there is no problem in language. Holmes is proficient in multiple languages.

Gabriel took care of this, and kept Holmes away from the case, and they wanted to enjoy the scenery.If Sherlock Holmes is too boring, let her act as a chat partner, and let him teach himself about the memory maze, as well as his deductive method, which are all good topics for chatting.

Fortunately, Gabriel's IQ was sufficient, and he was able to follow Holmes' words, allowing him to teach his daughter patiently. What's even more fortunate, Gabriel could feel the magic power in her body fluctuate as the days passed. It started to calm down.

Just when they spent Christmas and decided to go east to Asia, a newspaper broke their peaceful life.

'A murderous maniac appeared in London, who is Jack the Ripper!After losing Sherlock Holmes, can we still catch the devil? '
