The Ancient Wizards of Hogwarts

"so tired!"

Harley threw herself on the sofa in the living room and complained in a low voice, "Why do the professors give us a lot of homework every holiday! How can we complete this~!"

Harry subconsciously looked at his friends. Hermione was engrossed in homework piled higher than her head, while Cassandra went straight to the breeding farm to find Ravsyni and Abrana.

Hearing Harry's complaint, Hermione raised her head slightly and reminded in a low voice:

"You have to do it even if you can't finish it, Harry. You don't want to be detained by the professor because you can't finish your homework, right?"

Harley was a little troubled, but when her eyes met Hermione, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Hermione, can you..."

"cannot!"

Hermione puffed up her face angrily, "I won't help you with your homework!"

"I don't want you to do it for me either." Harley muttered softly.

"Then what do you want to say?"

"I meant to say,"

Harley blinked, "Can you let me copy it?"

Harry couldn't do something as outrageous as asking Hermione to do two homeworks by herself. Ash had also told her how to do it by herself and have enough food and clothing, so Harry's idea was very simple, just copy Hermione.

"no!"

Hermione was furious, "You might as well let me do it for you!"

"Is it okay?" Harley asked in surprise.

"Can't!"

Hermione's voice was at least 90 decibels. She seriously warned Harry, "I can tutor you, but I will never let you copy!"

"Hmm~"

Harley stuck out her tongue. She knew it wouldn't work, but she just couldn't help but want to try.

What if it succeeds?

But Harry wasn't really in a hurry. Cassandra and Ash didn't do their homework anyway, and not everyone liked papers as much as Hermione. Everyone was the same! ——

"Ah sneeze!"

In the laboratory, Ash suddenly sneezed.

Maybe someone was talking about him behind his back? Is it Snape or Dumbledore?

Well, it doesn't matter, he doesn't care anyway.

Raising his hand to rub his nose, Ash walked towards the operating room again.

There are two operating tables in the operating room. A well-dressed man is tied to the operating table on the left. According to the records on the 'case', this man seems to be the boss of a local gang in London.

On the right side of the operating table is a ragged wizard who was captured from Diagon Alley.

"Do you know who I am? Let me go!"

"What are you doing? What are you doing with the needle? What's in there!"

The well-dressed man still couldn't see the situation clearly, and threatened Ash fiercely and fiercely, as he approached Ash step by step. But the wizard was so frightened that he trembled all over, like a little girl about to be raped, and screamed:

"Don't come over here!"

"Don't be nervous. You are the first to devote yourself. This is your honor."

Ash soothed softly, inserted the needle into the wizard's body, held the syringe between his index and middle fingers, and gently pushed the plunger with his thumb to inject the bright red liquid into his body.

This didn't cause any changes, which Ash wasn't surprised at all.

He turned and walked towards the well-dressed man on the other side, holding a syringe with only half a tube of liquid left in his hand.

The man who realized what was about to happen no longer lost his previous arrogance, his body was shaking violently, and he hurriedly begged for mercy:

"No, no, please let me go!"

"I have money! I have a lot of money. I have 500 million US dollars in my Swiss bank account and a dozen villas in London and Paris. As long as you let me go, I can give you all of this!"

Ash clicked his tongue and pushed the piston all the way:

"Confused, these are mine in the first place."

"You actually tried to use my money to buy your life. Do you think this is appropriate?"

The man's eyes widened with disbelief on his face. When did his bank account become yours?

He wanted to find out, but his thinking was becoming increasingly sluggish, and even his language function was being challenged.

He only felt that his body was itchy, but his hands were tied, and he couldn't even scratch it in the simplest way.

He could clearly see nothing, but he could clearly feel the changes taking place in his body:

There are countless 'raised' strips on the surface of his skin, as if there are countless small snakes squirming, splitting and growing under his skin! They are like parasites, greedily absorbing the host's nutrients, and seem to turn him into another kind of monster that is completely different from humans!

The speed of this change is not fast, and in the eyes of men with slow thinking, it becomes even slower.

But this slowness gave him the ultimate fear.

Because he could only watch his body mutate and was powerless to do anything!

puff!

Finally, his skin was punctured.

A 'little snake' broke out of its 'shell' and was covered with a layer of thick black bristles!

Immediately afterwards, more and more black hairs pierced the skin, and the man's body expanded crazily. In just the blink of an eye, his body had swelled out of human shape, and his originally exquisite suit was completely torn apart, leaving only a monster covered in black hair that continued to expand.

The painful low wailing gradually turned into a roar, and the belt that originally restrained him was broken by the expansion of his body. The tall and ferocious werewolf stood up from the operating table. His body was covered with dark hair, and his eyes were glowing red.

Roar!

The desire to kill had completely filled the man's heart, and he suddenly opened his bloody mouth and bit down on Ash's neck!

BOOM!

Without warning, the man's body suddenly exploded, with bright red flesh and blood splashing everywhere. The originally white operating room was infected with plasma, and the air was suddenly filled with a strong smell of blood.

"Is the concentration too high? It's a bit wasteful..."

Ash looked at the flesh and blood slipping from the barrier in front of him and couldn't help but frown slightly.

He turned his attention to the wizard on the operating table on the right. The wizard was still in a 'stable' mood. He was just watching all this happening with trembling eyes, but there was still no change in his body.

Based on this controlled experiment between Muggles and wizards, it is not difficult to draw conclusions:

‘Lycanism’ is indeed a disease.

The liquid he injected into the two of them was concentrated blood extracted from the wolf-turned-Lupine body. It was filled with a substance that Ash named the 'wolf-transformation factor' or 'wolf-transformation virus'. This substance caused lycanthropy.

Whether they are Muggles or wizards, they will be infected into werewolves when they are infected by the 'lycanthrope factor'.

The difference is that, perhaps due to the magic suppression of the wizard, they will not completely turn into irrational werewolves, but will only transform uncontrollably during the full moon.

Since Muggles have no magic power, they will mutate into werewolves the moment they are infected.

But perhaps because the concentration of the concentrated sample was too high, the Muggles who underwent the experiment could not withstand the 'evolution' brought about by the transformation, so they suddenly exploded after successfully 'transforming'.

But fortunately, Muggles are no better than wizards. Ash still has many Muggle-branded guinea pigs, and he still has many opportunities for trial and error.

Ash whispered to himself:

"You can try lowering the concentration by 50% next time."

"But judging from the current situation, even if Muggles successfully withstand the pain of 'evolution', they will not have the same chance to transform back into humans like wizards, but will always remain in the form of 'werewolf'. They just don't know Muggles. Is the werewolf transformed from a melon contagious..."

"Scourgify!"

The silver-haired, wolf-eared girl with a scar on her left eye gently waved her wand to clean away the stained flesh and blood on the walls, floor and operating table, returning the operating room to its original spotless pure white color.

She asked softly:

"Master, do you want me to arrange the next experimental subject?"

"Need not."

Ash waved his hand.

There was only so much blood drawn from Lupine, and even less 'lycanthropy factor' could be used for experiments.

Even if there are still many experimental products, it will be difficult to carry out experiments without samples.

Ash pointed to the wizard on the operating table and ordered:

"Lapland, take him down."

"He is a werewolf now. He will transform uncontrollably every full moon night. Remember to keep him alone and don't let him hurt other people."

"Yes, Master." The wolf-eared girl nodded gently, silently keeping Ash's instructions in mind.

Watching Ash leave, Lapland had a happy smile on his face.

Look, the master still trusts her the most and always leaves the most important matters to her.

Can Texas do it?

The girl's mood became more and more cheerful, and she waved her wand to untie the wizard's belt on the operating table.

However, at the moment when the restraints were lifted, the wizard who had always been unusually quiet suddenly became violent, gritted his teeth and rushed towards Lapland, trying to snatch the wand in her hand!

For wizards, wands are definitely their second life.

Because for the vast majority of wizards, they don't have wands and can't even use them, and they are almost the same as ordinary people.

Although a small number of wizards can cast spells without a wand, the type and power of the magic they can cast will be greatly reduced.

On the contrary, as long as he can grab the magic wand, he can escape from this damn ghost place!

Lapland's eyes were extremely cold. She turned slightly to avoid the wizard who rushed towards her, and at the same time kicked him away without mercy.

boom!

The wizard curled up on the ground like a dead dog, groaning in pain, his mouth full of blood.

His face was contorted and his expression was extremely painful.

However, Lapland still showed no mercy at all. He just calmly raised his wand and chanted the spell:

"Stupefy!"

The wizard passed out completely and lay motionless on the ground.

Anyway, Ash's order was just to ensure that the experimental subjects would not be killed, so Lapland didn't care about the wizard's feelings at all.

Simply knock him unconscious, use the wand to cast a levitation spell, and drag his body to the dungeon.

——

In fact, this base was already quite complete when it was first built.

What Ash did was just divide the experimental base into different areas on the basis of the original.

Such as experimental area, dungeon, experimental area, security area, experimental area, and rest area.

Those captured Muggles and wizards were kept in dungeons and were only sent to the laboratory when there was a need for experiments.

However, most of the time these experiments are difficult to survive on the operating table, so it is rare for laboratories to be returned to the dungeon.

The rest area was prepared for the werewolf girls. Although Ash also had a room prepared for himself, he rarely stayed here overnight and usually just took a short rest at the end of the experiment.

For example, this experiment lasted for three full days, although the actual human experiment was only less than two hours. But just as the most troublesome part of cooking is not cooking but preparing the dishes, the preliminary work of the experiment is far more troublesome than the short-term human experiment.

At least Ash, who had just ended all this, just wanted to take a good rest.

However, there are always people who don't give him a chance.

Bang bang~!

As soon as Ash lay down, there was a knock on the door outside the house.

He had to get up again and open the door. Standing outside the door was a girl with long gray hair and wolf ears. It is actually not accurate to say that she has gray hair. Her hair color should be dark blue, but because the color is too dark, it looks like gray, and only the ends of her hair are slightly bright blue.

But no matter what her hair color is, she is a pretty cute girl.

Ash looked towards both sides of the corridor and found no one else, so he asked with some confusion:

"Texas, what's going on?"

"Owner."

Texas looked serious and asked solemnly, "Can I go in and talk?"

Ash shrugged and turned aside to let her in.

After the door closed again, Texas took out a document and handed it to Ash, saying softly:

"This is the property obtained from those Muggles, with a total value of 5.3 billion US dollars, of which 4.5 billion is in cash."

Ash raised his eyebrows slightly, only to take a cursory glance at the document.

Bai Zi and Setsuna entered Hogwarts out of political considerations. One of their purposes in staying at Hogwarts was to show others that they were harmless and controllable, so that Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall and others could relax. alert.

Facts have also proved that this strategy is quite effective. At least so far, they have not doubted that other werewolves besides Baizi and Setsuna also have the ability to transform into human forms. Lapland and Texas have never appeared in other people's lives. In sight.

It is precisely because of their specialness that Ash can assign some special tasks to them. For example, Lapland is responsible for kidnapping wizards from Knockturn Alley, while Texas is mainly responsible for getting Muggles from human society.

These Muggles are not only the main experimental subjects, but also Ash's main source of income - robbing can make money much faster than working!

Especially these Muggles who are involved in the underworld like to deposit their money in Swiss banks, and they all have bearer accounts. The purpose of this is to make it easier to take the money and run away at any time in the future.

But now, these are cheaper for Ash.

5.3 billion US dollars may be nothing in future generations. But in the 1990s, this was no small sum of money!

For example, in 1990, the foreign exchange reserves of a large country in the East that did not want to be named exceeded the 10 billion mark for the first time, reaching 11.093 billion U.S. dollars. In 1991 and 1992, the foreign exchange reserves fluctuated around 20 billion U.S. dollars.

Ash flipped through two pages and said casually:

"It's still the same as before, all used to short the ruble."

Before the collapse of the Soviet Union, the ratio between the dollar and the ruble could basically maintain 1:1.

But since the collapse of the Soviet Union, this ratio has continued to increase, reaching a peak of 1:6000 in 1997.

In the past few years, the whole world has been crazy about taking advantage of the situation, and shorting the ruble is nothing new.

For example, another large country in the East who did not want to be named used US$3 million to repay Russia's foreign debt of more than 10 billion rubles during this period. The two countries are really like a family that loves each other.

Ash casually handed the document back to Texas, but the girl didn't pick it up.

Ash raised his head in surprise, only to find that the girl was staring directly at him. Ash then realized that he had not given a reward.

Ash put his hand on the girl's head and stroked it gently. With a gentle smile on his face, he encouraged:

"well done."

Setsuna had already narrowed her eyes in comfort and unconsciously rubbed her cheek against Ash's palm.

But Texas didn't seem satisfied. Her pale yellow eyes were still cold and unmoved at all.

"Owner……"

The girl's light cherry-colored lips opened and closed slightly, and her cold voice accurately stated her needs, "I need to mend my demon, just like Bai Zi."

Ash looked a little surprised, stroked the girl's long, silky hair, and asked softly:

"Texas, do you know what magic is?"

"What Bai Zi wants to do, I will do too."

Texas moved closer to Ash resolutely, and his green lips revealed a warm and moist taste, with the sweetness of a girl.

But she didn't know how to continue, so she just stuck.

Ash grabbed the girl's white and tender hand that she didn't know where to put, and guided her step by step to complete her obligations - he was always fair, and whoever lit the fire would be responsible for putting out the fire.

"Let me teach you, at this time you should stick out your tongue first..."

Under Ash's guidance, the wolf-eared girl's movements became more and more bold, and the girl's originally fair cheeks turned slightly red. Even her gaze was no longer cold, but rather shy and joyful.

Can Lapland do this kind of thing?
