Chapter 86 85. Eye Disease Curse
"how did you do it!"
In front of Jon's Levitating Curse, the experienced Aberforth, like Neville, who was only in the first grade, asked this question out of nowhere.
Jon told the truth.
"The change of the spell was researched by myself, but this method of casting the spell was taught to me by the teacher."
Hearing what he said, Aberforth wisely didn't ask any more questions. Even though the mainstream of the magic world is the public teaching of the academic school, there are still some wizards who carry out unique inheritance of the magic they invented. Not published.
"Well, I was wrong just now. There was nothing wrong with you focusing on the floating spell in the first grade. This spell will be of great help to you and what we are going to do next."
Although he said so, the expression on Aberforth's face was still serious.
"Having the ability to fly can make you move more dexterously, which can help you better protect the rooster, but how to keep the basilisk is also a problem that needs to be solved. There are actually spells that can do this. Quite a few, I can also teach you, but now there are less than two months before Christmas, how much you can learn during this period, and to what extent you can only see yourself."
Jon stared at Aberforth, he suddenly had an idea, blinked and said.
"Why can't we go to Hogwarts Castle together at that time? Just take that secret path, put on this invisibility cloak, and with the rooster and you in the situation, you can definitely kill the basilisk easily, and then go from the headmaster's office." Find what Professor Dumbledore wants here!"
Aberforth rejected Jon's proposal without the slightest hesitation.
"Albus should have told you that he had actually arranged for people from the Order of the Phoenix to pretend to be students and try to sneak into that castle before, but he was finally discovered."
His words brought back memories of Jon. When Dumbledore sent him to Diagon Alley, he did tell him that there was a man named "Dedaro Diggle" who had also carried out this spy before him. However, before entering Hogwarts Castle, he was discovered by a magic spell to detect age, and was unfortunately caught in Azkaban.
"The Dark Lord has done a perfect job of protecting that castle. There are age-detecting spells everywhere in the castle. Except for those teaching staff, any adult wizard who enters the castle will be immediately discovered." Aberforth Shen Sheng said, "This is the best protective measure. As long as adult wizards are excluded, the Dark Lord believes that even if Albus arranges for underage children to sneak into this school, there will be no big disturbance. What's more, he regards protecting the few remaining students on the carriage as the only meaning of his life, so he will not do such a thing."
Jon smacked his lips. Originally, according to his thinking, as long as Aberforth could be brought in, the matter would be much simpler, but now it seems that this method will not work.
"Then start learning spells today." Jon's voice was flat, as if he didn't have much sense of urgency for the little time left, "Today is already November 1st, and the Christmas dinner is in December. It will be held on the 25th, and 55 days is enough."
A smile appeared on Aberforth's bearded face.
"I like your confidence, so let's not waste time and start now."
Jon saw his strange reaction, and couldn't help asking in confusion.
"Any questions?"
Aberforth did not answer his words, but slowly stretched out his hand, looking at Jon's wand with complicated eyes.
"Can you show it to me?"
Jon didn't refuse, and directly handed the chestnut wand to Aberforth.
Aberforth seemed to be very familiar with this wand. He stroked the ancient and worn-out wand with his rough hands, and the complex emotions in his eyes contained emotions that Jon couldn't read.
"When I was young, I tried to steal it from Albus countless times, and then broke it, but I didn't succeed. He protected it very well and didn't allow anyone to touch it. I didn't expect it to fall down now. In your hands was it Albus who handed it to you?"
When he first got the wand, Jon had noticed that Dumbledore was looking at it wrongly, and now it was obvious that Aberforth also knew the owner of the wand.
"When I was choosing a wand, I felt that this wand was very suitable for me, and then I got it. Professor Dumbledore also agreed to give it to me." He said truthfully.
Aberforth looked at Jon again, and this time he looked him up and down carefully, as if he wanted to see through Jon's skin, to see if he was someone else.
"I never expected that he would actually give away this wand. I thought he would treasure it for a lifetime."
Hearing Aberforth's exclamation, Jon asked in bewilderment.
"So who was the original owner of this wand?"
"I don't want to mention the name, but no matter who used it before, it's yours now." Aberforth returned the wand to Jon's hand, "Talking about this has nothing to do with the situation at hand." Help, let's continue what we were talking about."
He really didn't seem to want to say anything more about the wand's origin, and with the fact that he said that he tried to steal it from Dumbledore's hands many times and broke it, it was obvious that he and the original owner of the wand had nothing to do with each other. Do not deal with.
Jon was indeed a little curious about the original owner of the wand in his hand, and Aberforth's reaction gave him a little guess, but as he said, entanglement with this matter now will not help the problem in front of him , regardless of the identity of the person who used the wand before him, there is nothing special about the wand itself.
"There are actually many spells that can affect the basilisk. The most powerful part of this creature is its eyes, so the eye disease spell has always been the nemesis of the basilisk."
"Can this spell directly destroy the Basilisk's eyes?"
"The eyes of the basilisk have extremely powerful magic power. It will not be destroyed by such a simple spell, but you can rely on it to have some effect on the eyes of the basilisk. This will make it close its eyes subconsciously, which will ensure that you You will not be killed directly when you accidentally look at it. Of course, if you are lucky enough and the spell directly hits any of its eyeballs, it can also cause powerful damage to that eye. Make it temporarily blind."
