Professor of Pharmacy at Hogwarts

Chapter 181, Strange Curse

Claire waved her hand.This action seemed to affect the injury, and he immediately covered his mouth, bent over and coughed.

The sound made Alexis worried, he was so afraid that this guy would cough his lungs out.

Claire, who was energetic and rosy two weeks ago, was now like a deflated rubber ball, her face turned pale, the little flesh that had grown on her face was gone, and she became skin and bones again.

The waist that was originally slightly straight also bent down again.It's even more rickety than before, and it's almost over.

"what 's wrong?"

Seeing that Claire was unwilling to say anything, Alexis turned around and put down Bayer and asked.

With a plop, Bayer fell to the ground, making a muffled sound.

He stood up nonchalantly, patted the dust on his body, scratched his bald head, and looked at Claire.

"Go in and talk, go in and talk."

Claire finished coughing and greeted quickly.

Bayer stepped forward, supported Claire, and walked into the house.

Alexis was a little worried that Bayer would crush Claire again with a little force...

Entering the house, a scent of jasmine mixed with a faint stench hit your face, making Alexis frown slightly.

He has been studying snakes and earthworms for some time. Thanks to the dissection during this period, he has become much more adaptable to this weird smell. Otherwise, he would have been lying at the door retching at this time instead of sitting down. Drinking tea at the table.

The tea was poured by Bayer. He first put Claire on the bed, then walked into the kitchen, held the teacup and placed it in front of Alexis.

"Please have some tea."

Completely different from the ferocious rage just now, Bayer looked gentle and gentle at this time. Even though he was sitting on the chair aggrievedly with such a big body, he looked very aggrieved and very funny.

"What happened? How did you get hurt?"

Alexis put down the tea cup and continued to ask

"Has anyone found this place?"

"Are you fighting?"

"Who is the other party?"

At this sensitive time, Alexis couldn't help but think too much.

Everyone knows about his relationship with Grindelwald, so it seems natural that Grindelwald's remaining subordinates belong to him.

Someone attacked here, was it for him?

Bayer scratched his head again and looked at Claire.

Claire sighed, pulled out an envelope from under the bed and handed it to Alexis.

"It's an Auror from the Ministry of Magic."

Bayer said in a muffled voice.

"They were trying to capture Claire, but Claire fought back and fought them off."

"My uncle heard that Claire was injured and was worried about his safety, so he sent me here."

Alexis looked at Claire.

Claire nodded, sighed, and coughed again.

"We have collected all the information."

Claire coughed intermittently and said such a simple sentence for half a minute.

Alexis did not check the information immediately. He got up and came to the bedside to carefully observe Claire's condition.

As we got closer, the stench became clearer.

"curse?"

Alexis asked with some confusion.

Most people like to concisely divide curses into black curses and white curses. They call those that can cause harm to people black curses, and those that cannot cause harm are called white curses.

In the same way, those who are good at using black magic are called black wizards, and those who are good at using white magic are called white wizards.

But in fact this classification method is neither accurate nor scientific.

"Standard Spells: Elementary" by Miranda Gorshak begins with:

"There are many types of charms... jinxes, hexes and curses are collectively known as dark spells. Such charms will not be covered in this book."

"Standard Spells: Elementary" is only a textbook for first-year students at Hogwarts, which is what Harry and the others use.

Among people who know a little bit, they often use the Transfiguration Curse to explain that there are not only black curses and white curses.

But in fact this statement is also wrong.

Spells focus more on changing or increasing the inherent properties of an object. It focuses on "what it does", while transformation spells focus more on "what it is".

This is also the content learned in "Standard Spells - Elementary". Normally, Harry and the others have already learned this lesson.

However, even with such a simple thing, at least half of the people in the wizarding world don't understand at all. They don't understand transfiguration and magic. They don't understand that magic is not just black and white. They don't understand how to cast magic. Why does the curse suddenly fail or even backfire?

If you don't even understand the principle of the curse, of course something unexpected will happen.

Among them, the jinxes, poisonous curses and curses classified as black curses are what most people must understand or master.

In fact, there is no wizard who only learns what they call white magic and knows nothing about black magic. Such a wizard can't even handle a boggart.

Among the three, curses are the least harmful to people. They are usually more similar to pranks and are annoying but do not cause fatal harm. Poison spells will make the victim feel pain. Curses are the most poisonous and will mostly cause irreversible damage.

The three famous unforgivable curses fall within the scope of curses.

It just so happens that Alexis is a "dark wizard" who is particularly good at curses.

As the adopted son of Grindelwald, Alec has grown up reading a series of books such as "The Encyclopedia of Spells", "Three Hundred Famous Curses", "The Principle and Invention of Curses", and "The Story of Curses". Sith dare not say that he knows all the curses, but he can recognize at least [-]% of them.

However, the curse on Claire happened to be that few one percent.

"This looks like a wound caused by a magic spell similar to a salvo of bullets."

Alexis grabbed Claire's arm and looked carefully at the wound on his arm.It was a long and narrow wound, with rolled skin and rough edges, and the surrounding muscles were blue and black.

If Claire hadn't admitted it himself, Alexis would have suspected that he was accidentally cut by the wire.

But most curses pursue accuracy and efficiency. They are either like Shen Feng Wuying, where the cuts are neat and uniform, and the wounds have already appeared before the victim even reacts.Or just kill him with one blow like the killing curse.

There is no curse that can cause such an untidy wound like this, and there is no curse that cannot achieve its goal immediately, unless it is a torture spell like Cruciatus.

"What about those people?"

Alexis couldn't figure out the reason for a while, so she asked instead.

"Ran."

Claire said something and coughed violently again.

"Are you sure they are Aurors?"

Alexis asked again.

This was important to him. If it was really an Auror, then Lucius's guess might come true.

"I don't know." Claire panted and shook her head. "They didn't use magic."

Frackxis was in a slightly more relaxed mood.He didn't use any spells, so he was probably not an Auror.

"That's what they wear!"

Bayer suddenly made a sound. He ran away somewhere, took some dirty clothes and threw them on the ground.

Isn’t this JC’s clothes?

Alexis picked up the clothes and looked at Claire and Bayer speechlessly.

"This is the clothes of JC, the Auror in the Muggle world. The ones who attacked you were not Aurors, but a group of Muggles."
