Chapter 135 133. Dead Soul Water
Everything is as usual in the carriage.
Gabriel's arrival caused a sensation.
Although there were many ghosts in the former Hogwarts castle, and there was even a ghost professor who specialized in the history of magic, but after the exile began, the students on the carriage never saw such a creature again.
Muggle students here accounted for the majority. They had learned about ghosts in class, but like Jon, it was the first time seeing them.
"It's so pitiful." Lavender looked at Gabriel, who was hiding behind Jon, who was a little shy and panicked because of being surrounded by a group of people, and whispered to Hermione beside her.
"She died at such a young age. I heard that turning into a ghost is because people still have a deep obsession with the world when they die. She must have been very painful when she died."
Gabriel obviously heard her words, pouted, grabbed the corner of Jon's robe, and wanted to poke her head out to explain, but finally retracted resentfully.
She is only seven years old now. Although she has a cheerful personality, she has experienced so many changes during this period, and she has begun to be a little cautious.
"This is Gabrielle Delacour." Jon could only introduce her, "Come from France, and she will be staying at Hogwarts for a period of time recently. Her current state is indeed a ghost, but she is not really dead. Instead, he drank the dead soul water and temporarily became like this."
The knowledge of Dead Soul Water is a bit remote. Simply put, it is a potion that can force wizards into ghosts.
It's just that the refining of this medicine is very difficult, and some of the materials are basically extinct by now, and the limitations are very high. After all, it is a man-made ghost, which is completely incomparable with a real ghost. There will be no ghosts after death. The characteristic of not dying again, generally can only survive in the form of a ghost for four or five years at most, before dying completely.
But the advantage is that it is not irreversible to turn into a ghost after drinking this bottle. As long as the body of the person who drank the potion is well protected, and the antidote is given within five years, he can return to his original human identity.
Madam Maxim had indeed reached the point where there was no other way, otherwise she would not risk killing her friend's daughter to feed Gabriel the dead soul water.
Lavender and the others didn't know what Dead Soul Water was, but they also heard Jon's subtext.
But they didn't mind whether Gabriel was really dead or not. A child finally arrived in the carriage. Although this child was a ghost, it still made Lavender and the senior girls a little excited.
Soon they took Gabriel to visit the carriage, while Jon and Neville went back to the dormitory to put down their luggage.
"After you and Professor Dumbledore left, the carriage seemed to have some problems and stopped once, but Professor McGonagall and Professor Potter checked and found nothing abnormal." Neville said this sentence At that time, the tone was more casual, and it seemed that he didn't think it was a big deal.
Jon rescued the students from the castle this year, which made the students on the carriage less cautious and worried because of their exile.
After all, in the eyes of the students, Jon is indeed talented in learning magic, but he is not particularly different from others.
He was able to rescue people from the Hogwarts castle after lurking in less than a year, which not only proves his formidable accident, but also shows that the enemies in that castle are nothing more than that.
But Jon clearly knows more.
With Voldemort's character of vengeance, it is impossible for him to suffer such a big loss without fighting back. Not only should he not relax, but he should be more vigilant now.
This is also very clear to Dumbledore and other professors.
Jon remembered what Hagrid said to Dumbledore just before getting into the carriage, the carriage stopped and the spell attached to it was damaged should be the same thing.
The carriage stopped halfway and what happened. The professors obviously didn't say much to the students.
Jon didn't talk about this with Navido either, he put his luggage away, went to the restaurant for dinner, chatted with Ron and the others about the interesting things he encountered during this trip to France, and then he returned to the dormitory alone .
After he returned from Hogwarts Castle, he hadn't really studied the gem he got from the castle library.
The gem had already changed from blood red to the same light blue color as the original gem on the ring.
Jon didn't dare to keep his hand when he finally left.
A levitating spell and a breaking spell allowed him to use up all the magic power in the gem without reservation.
The effect obtained is naturally remarkable. Under the joint attack of many professors in the castle, Jon can be said to be completely unscathed and move freely. Although there is no effective counterattack method, he did not go there to kill anyone. Successfully escaping with Hermione is already overfulfilling the task.
The last words he said were not because he had suffered from a secondary illness and wanted to pretend to be cool, but that there were so many students here, so it was a good time to declare.
The more the Ministry of Magic wants to reduce the presence of Hogwarts led by Dumbledore, the more Jon wants to publicize that there are still people in the wizarding world who rebel against Voldemort's system.
This may not allow all mixed-race students to see clearly the essence of this pure-blood superiority theory, but it may also awaken a few people and change their original submissive mentality.
Even if there is only one person who can make such a change, it would be a good thing for Jon to say these words, and it can also leave a seed of resistance in the hearts of others.
If Voldemort leads the pure blood to continue to be so strong, this seed may never be able to break through the ground, but once the situation changes subtly one day, and the balance is no longer completely tilted to one side, then the seeds planted today will come to fruition. It will bloom and bear fruit in time, and it is very likely to play an unexpected role.
The magic power stored in the gem can do so much, and Jon feels that this deal is not a loss. Besides, the magic power inside is not impossible to store in the future.
And the most important thing is that Jon always feels that there is more than just magic in this gem.
Before he was in the castle trying to save the students, he didn't have the time and energy to study it. After returning, he went out with Dumbledore for a few days, and now he was finally free to study the matter on this gem seriously. up.
If there is anything in it that he hasn't noticed, then all Jon can think of is the knowledge that has been absorbed into the forbidden book of magic power.
Magic power is the carrier of forbidden book knowledge, but it does not mean that it is all knowledge.
