Hogwarts: From Squibs to Greatness

Chapter 154 Nagini

Just a week after Harry learned the Patronus Charm and was able to use it proficiently.

Apart from attending classes normally, Harry focused all his attention on practicing the Patronus Charm and on the Quidditch match in the school.

During this period of time, Ravenclaw had a match with Slytherin. The result of this match was that Slytherin won, but it was very dangerous for them to win.

According to Wood, this is good news for Gryffindor. If they also beat Ravenclaw, they will be ranked No.2.

As a result, Wood increased the number of team training to five times a week.

This meant that Harry only had two nights a week to do all his homework.

Even so, he wasn't as nervous as Hermione was.Hermione's heavy homework finally seemed to be overwhelmed by her.

Every night, you can definitely see Hermione sitting in a corner of the common room. The tables in front of you are all spread out with textbooks, arithmetic and divination charts, and rune words.

There are dictionaries, illustrations of Muggles moving heavy objects, and one after another dense notes.

She barely talked to anyone and was always rude when disturbed.

"How did she do it?" Ron whispered to Harry one night, as Harry sat writing a nasty paper Snape had assigned on undetectable potions.

Harry looked up, and Hermione was almost completely obscured by a precarious pile of books.

"Do what?"

"Take all her classes!" said Ron. "I heard her talking to Professor Victor this morning, the witch who taught Arithmancy."

"They were talking about yesterday's class, but there was no way Hermione was going to class, she was with us in Care of Fantastic Creatures! Also, Ernie MacMillan told me that Hermione never missed a class. Melon research class, but half of them conflict with the time of divination class, and her divination class unexpectedly failed!"

Harry didn't have time right now to delve into the secrets of Hermione's incredible timeline, he really needed to get Snape's papers done quickly.

However, Harry still put forward his own opinion, without raising his head, he said directly: "You can write to John and ask John, he must know what's going on."

"Ask John?" A strange expression appeared on Ron's face. "Harry, did you not read the letter Hedwig brought?"

"What?" Harry looked up at Ron suspiciously.

"Just a week ago, John wrote to each of us, telling us that he was not in school during this time."

"!"

A completely unexpected expression appeared on Harry's face, and then he hurriedly got up and went back to the dormitory, rummaging through the letters sent by Hedwig, and sure enough, he found an unopened letter without a signature.

Take a look and see the familiar handwriting. John said in the letter that he took two weeks off for something. During this time, if you have something to do, you can contact Tom. He will deal with it when he comes back. If there is something urgent, he can activate it with magic power. The talisman he gave will do.

Harry returned to the common room again, not expecting this to happen.

"Do you know what John is doing?" Harry asked Ron.

Ron was just looking at Hermione who was writing hard, and he came back to his senses when he heard Harry's words.

"I don't know either. I wrote to my dad and he didn't know, but it seems that Principal Dumbledore knew what John was doing, but Principal Dumbledore didn't say it out of confidentiality."

Hearing Ron's answer, Harry nodded to show that he understood.

Although he was still very curious, Harry finally put the matter aside for the time being due to homework, and concentrated on writing the thesis assigned by Snape.

At the moment, John, the protagonist in Harry's mouth, is walking in the Albanian forest. Because of his connection with the main world several times before, he can now use the world consciousness to know some information that he could not perceive before.

Among them, of course, is our famous villain, Mr. Voldemort, the noseless senior.

With his memory, John naturally knew that Voldemort was in the Albanian forest, but he didn't know the exact location.

But after the connection was strengthened, when John checked the Albanian forest with the help of world consciousness, he found a dark vortex somewhere.

The wailing of a large number of creatures came from this vortex, and the source of this vortex was in an area, but John couldn't do it if he wanted to investigate further.

Because there seems to be some kind of interference in this area, it is difficult for John to confirm where the center of the vortex is.

At the same time, John also discovered something was wrong. There was a pure and weak consciousness in the tree hole. The weakness of this consciousness, if John hadn't cast buff magic before the investigation, it would be really hard to detect.

So John directly apparated and left the school for Albania, and those letters were prepared by John in advance, and he didn't know how long it would take to deal with this matter, after all, it was related to Voldemort.

Using Apparition, John discovered that the location of the vortex was in a primeval forest.

With the help of induction, John started to walk towards the direction of the vortex, and after a lot of hard work, he found an obviously abnormal tree.

The tree looked as if it had been scorched by a fire, showing a charred black as a whole. At the same time, the tree was in a strange twisted shape, and the tree hole above looked like a wailing face.

It's like the trees in dark places that often appear in cartoons.

John stared at the tree. In the magical vision, the tree was emitting billowing black smoke. It was obvious that a rather vicious curse had been placed on it.

But John can't avoid this tree, because the curse on this tree is accompanied by interference, and it is this interference that makes John unable to confirm the center of the vortex, so the best way is for John to eliminate this tree.

So John cautiously approached the tree. In the magic field of vision, there were a large number of runes on the trunk of the tree. These should be the core of the magic trap.

John analyzed these rune cores for a while, and confirmed that the traps attached to them were quite vicious curse traps, and there were also powerful reflection curses, which was to prevent the tree from being easily destroyed by magic.

A normal wizard would definitely find a way to remove the above curse first, but John didn't want to waste time like this, there is actually a faster solution.

So in the next second, accompanied by a burst of sword light, the tree was directly cut off by John's sword.

Then a large number of sword lights erupted, and the tree was split into several pieces. Because of direct physical damage, the trap on the tree was destroyed without being triggered.

Holding the sword, he walked to the debris in the tree hole, John reached into it, and then took out a snake slough from it.

It appears that the slough is the heart of the tree and the main cause of the disturbance.

Burning the snake slough into ashes, John connected to the world consciousness, and after a careful inspection, he found that there were still a few such interferences.

Without hesitation, John walked slowly towards the depths of the forest with a long sword in his hand...

As these interference means are continuously resolved, the location of the vortex core becomes clearer and clearer.

John John walked in that direction, and gradually the surrounding bushes grew.

From time to time some strange magical creatures move away from the side or from the trees.

Kicking away a red hat that was trying to sneak up on his knee, John smiled.

"Hagrid would be glad if he was around."

Finally, when John cut off the last interference tree, the location of the core of the vortex was finally completely exposed to John's perception.

"I caught you!"

Quickly headed towards the core position, and finally when John rushed out through the forest, he found a cabin at the core of the vortex.

From a distance, this log cabin is no different from a hunter's cabin, but John can keenly feel that this log cabin gives him an indescribable feeling.

It's like Italians feel the same way when they see pineapple pizza, or Chinese people see dumplings dipped in chocolate sauce.

Noticing that there was no light in the cabin, John cast the Silent Charm and Disillusionment Charm on himself after thinking for a few seconds.

Crouching down to minimize the sound he made, John slowly approached the wooden house. As he approached, he could clearly hear the sound inside.

It was like a boa constrictor hissing and spitting out a letter, and the sucking sound was accompanied by a chilling sound.

"Nagini."

John was very familiar with this voice. The last time he heard it was in the secret room, when he was facing Quirrell.

Hoarse and cold, it seems to be the most evil poisonous snake, sticking to your skin and crawling up your body, spitting out letters at you.

John took out his wand, accelerated his pace a little and approached the wooden house, and soon relied on the completely different sense of smell after growing up with blood, and the harvest in the world of Princess Mononoke.

John keenly smelled death around the cabin.

The phenomenon of death has obviously existed for a long time here, and John guesses that the owner of this wooden house is among them.

The smell of death is very complicated. On the surface, the smell of death is a faint floral fragrance, but death is death. If you perceive it carefully, this floral fragrance is an indescribable stink.

Through the gap in the cabin, John looked in.

With the powerful ability brought by Long Vision, even though the cabin is completely dark at the moment, John can still see the picture clearly.

I saw a huge green snake entrenched in the center of the wooden house, about 12 feet long, and its body thickness was almost as thick as a human thigh.

And in the center of this big snake lay a rather weird baby.

The baby looked like a freak with developmental deformities as a whole, and the skin was pale like a dead person.

There is no hair on the face, and there is no nose structure, which looks very snake-like.

At this moment, the baby opened its mouth to swallow the venom dripping from the fangs of the big snake.

John is naturally very clear about the identities of the baby and the big snake in the wooden house.

It is Voldemort, the Dark Lord who once shook the magic world, and Nagini, the blood-cursed orc who will become a Horcrux in the future.
