Harry Potter and the Great Old Ones

Chapter 68 Confinement
Out of the great race of Yith’s rigorous attitude toward knowledge, these replica books were made in the exact same style and text as the first edition.

While this approach preserves the original book's knowledge to the greatest extent possible, it also makes it extremely easy for readers to form direct connections with the unknown entities behind that knowledge.

Because writing also has magic; the simplest example is ancient runes.

The older the script, the closer it is to pictographs, the greater the magic it can carry.

In other words, in terms of magical capacity alone, among all the human scripts known in Tiera, ancient Egyptian script, cuneiform script, Shui script, and Naxi script have the strongest magical power.

Next came Chinese oracle bone script and Mayan script.

Seal script is slightly larger than Latin script, as are ancient scripts such as Nepali, Tibetan, and Sanskrit.

Then there's English, Old English, and some other modern languages, which have almost no magic.

This is the risk that the blessing of "knowledge" can help readers avoid.

It allows one to bypass dangerous text and directly engage with knowledge.

However, when the language is of the same origin and lineage as your mother tongue, the blessing of "knowledge" may directly build a spiritual channel to the Outer God for you.

Especially when you acquire knowledge from a high-quality counterfeit "The Inheritor".

This is why Tiera was fine reading the Necronomicon, the R'lyeh Text, and the Nameless Priestly Book, but the moment her fingers touched the Seven Chapters of the Mysterious Lord, she immediately made contact with the Lord of the Deep Space and died on the spot.

Fortunately, Tiera only accidentally connected with the King in Yellow that time, and was not directly watched by him.

Otherwise, even the blessing of "time" couldn't save him.

Nothing Tyrell knew could save her from the direct interference and gaze of the Outer Gods.

Soon, it was time for Tyella, Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Malfoy to be put in solitary confinement.

That morning, a small note appeared on the bedside table of each of them, which read:

He pulled a Jupiter astronomical chart in front of him and began reviewing the names of Jupiter's moons. The next morning, Tyrell, Harry, Hermione, and Malfoy all received notes at the breakfast table. All four notes were identical:
"Your confinement begins at 11 p.m. tonight. Find Mr. Filch in the foyer."

That night at eleven o'clock, they left the Gryffindor common room and went downstairs together to the foyer. Filch was already waiting there.

Of course, there's also Malfoy.

Malfoy looked at the four of them with a smug expression, but when his eyes swept over Tyella, a hint of doubt appeared.

Why is he still alright? Dad promised me he'd embarrass him!

Tyella could hear Malfoy's thoughts.

This is magic from the R'lyeh Texts: Spying.

It's similar to mind control, but far less complicated.

You can only "hear" what the other person is thinking now, but you can't dig out deeper memories.

Even some wizards who are proficient in Occlumency, such as Dumbledore, Snape, and himself, can easily resist or deceive Tyella.

As expected, the early appearance of the diary was related to Draco.

Tyrell smiled kindly at Malfoy, which startled him instead.

He looked at Tyella with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty. Tyella was genuinely grateful to Malfoy.

Although the diary was dangerous, it was still within his control.

Contrary to the danger, the diary brought him great help.

Whether it was the immense help Tom Riddle provided, or the accelerated growth of Tyella's spiritual existence due to Voldemort's constant Legilimency, and his increasingly proficient mastery of mental magic.

Tiera squeezed the diary she was holding in her arms.

The greatest danger of tonight's Forbidden Forest expedition lies in Voldemort himself, who is parasitizing Professor Quirrell, so Tyella did not hide it from Tom Riddle.

Even if Tierra were to actually encounter Voldemort, Voldemort would likely not kill her, considering she was a first-year Mudblood controlled by a Horcrux. At most, she would just suffer a fatal blow.

Besides the diary, another pocket of Tyella's wizard robe contained a dozen soft pages.

He is the "successor" of Tiera.

He has another matter to attend to tonight, if it's convenient.

“Come with me,” Fitch said, lighting a lamp and leading them outside. “I think you should think twice before breaking school rules again, right, hmm?”

He glanced at them sideways and continued, “Oh, yes… if you ask me, I’d say work and hardship are the best teachers… It’s a shame they abolished those old-fashioned punishments… hanging you by the wrists, suspending you from the ceiling for days on end. I still have those chains in my office, I oil them regularly, they might come in handy someday… Alright, go now, but don’t even think about running away. If you dare to run away…”

“Perhaps Professor McGonagall will turn him into a book, a chair, or a fish,” Fitch chuckled sinisterly. “Unfortunately, he always turns back quickly, and the prohibition against using Transfiguration to punish students is written into the school rules.”

Now Harry and Ron finally realize how close they are to becoming a pocket watch.

They strode across the dark ground. The moonlight was bright, but clouds kept drifting in and obscuring the moon, plunging them into darkness.

Then, they heard a shout from afar:
"Is that you, Fitch? Hurry up, I'm leaving."

If we could work alongside Hagrid, it wouldn't be too bad.

Tyella heard Harry, who was sitting right next to him, think.

The Spying spell is a continuous skill spell. At this stage, Tiera must be close, concentrate, and look directly into the eyes to "hear" the thoughts.

Or like now, with Harry holding his hand tightly, the two in direct physical contact, and Tyella able to "hear" Harry's thoughts.

Seeing the delighted look on Harry's face, Fitch poured cold water on his enthusiasm, saying, "You don't actually think you're going to have a blast with that idiot, do you? Think about it again, kid. You're going to the Forbidden Forest! If you come out unscathed, then I'll admit I was wrong."

Ron, Hermione, and Malfoy's faces turned deathly pale.

Harry seemed to be gripping Tyella's hand even tighter.

I must protect Tiera.

Tyrell heard Harry's inner thoughts again.

I don't know who's protecting whom...

However, if they really encountered Voldemort, Tierra would definitely push Harry out first.

If Voldemort accidentally bumps into Harry... this semester might end early.

Thank you Korsi for the 100 points!
