Chapter 284
"I just happened to know something..." Wizette nodded, "If those MACCA staff are right, I'm afraid things are a little tricky."
"I heard them discussing this matter. The head of the Appaloosa family was poisoned, and the person they suspected...was not a local wizard."
…
"Poisoned!" Narcissa and Draco's expressions changed at the same time.
"Dad...certainly wouldn't do this!" Draco shook Narcissa's hand, "right! Mom?"
Narcissa looked very sad, but still comforted her firmly, "Of course, he is not such a person!"
She saluted to Weizet and the others: "Thank you very much for letting me know such important news... Without the guarantee of Hogwarts, I'm afraid things would be even more difficult."
"But things are still not optimistic...so please allow me to leave first. I need to contact my friends to see if I can learn more..."
Professor McGonagall looked at the two mother and son leaving, and called to Vizette and Luna: "Let's go back and rest first..."
…
Before returning to his room, Vizette asked Luna how she was feeling.
At least in his opinion, it seems that a series of things are not that simple.
Luna thought for a while and answered seriously: "Maybe it's like many rivers... flowing fast or slow... but they always merge into the sea."
"Yes! Then I understand!" Wizette nodded, "If it has anything to do with me, it will eventually come back to me."
He always trusted Luna 100% in what she said.
Since Luna feels this way, she should follow the current thinking and identify the mastermind behind the incident as Isaiah.
…
Back in his room, Vizette sat in a chair and thought about everything that had happened this afternoon.
After coming to New York and entering the Magic Congress, those memories of watching "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" in my previous life became clear.
The environment around the Woolworth Building is probably the place that is most different from the memory of the previous life.
When entering the Magical Congress, the scenes in "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" will correspond to them one-to-one;
A grand hall like a church...
A giant clock marked "Magical Exposure Threat Level"...
Portrait of the President of the Magic Congress...
The circling owl and the busy staff...
Everything felt very familiar to him, without much deviation.
"The Magical Congress does not have Azkaban...their prison should be in the Woolworth Building..."
Wizette took out his wand, put it against his temple, and continued to comb through the memories from "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them".
"The prison of the Magic Congress... is a simple place... with many stone pillars... a dark place... separated by iron railings..."
"Whether it is the hall or other areas, it is very bright...then it should not be on the ground...that is to say...a place that can fit this kind of situation should be underground..."
Recalling this, Weizet took out Dumbledore's bookmark and wrote everything that happened today on it.
Finally, he left a question, [Principal Dumbledore, I take the liberty of disturbing you. 】
[I would like to ask if there is an underground working area in the Woolworth Building where the Magic Congress is located? Similar to the underground floors of the English Ministry of Magic. 】
Chapter 80 Werewolf Research Notes
The content on the bookmark was hidden, but no new content appeared. It was probably because Dumbledore also needed verification.
Weizet placed the bookmark next to him to ensure that if there were any changes, he would be able to detect them at a glance.
He dug out a notebook from his backpack and continued to study the contents.
This is a note given by Marlowe Furfond to express his gratitude. As an authority on werewolf research, the note covers all aspects of werewolves and is of great research value.
Werewolves specifically refer to humans infected with "lycanthropy", who transform into wolf form when the full moon rises;
For most people infected with "lycanthropy", turning into wolf form during the full moon is a painful thing, because this is an uncontrolled process, and even if they are locked in a room, they will still turn into wolf form;
After transforming into wolf form, they will be dominated by a weird desire to kill and attack all humans they can meet around them, even their own relatives and friends, without any mercy;
When they regained consciousness, they were able to recall everything they experienced after transforming into wolf form.
…
Based on his observations of werewolves, Marlowe Furfan mentioned in his notes a conjecture that perhaps werewolves were unfinished Animagus;
He mentioned that after transforming into a wolf, the color of the fur will be similar to the color of the hair before the transformation, which is very similar to the fact that the Animagus will have certain characteristics before the transformation after transforming;
He also mentioned that he would lose consciousness after transforming into a wolf form. When the Animagus completed its first transformation, it was also "dominated by animal instincts";
But he had no idea how to confirm this conjecture;
He spent too much time with the werewolf, recording all his observations in notes, but had no ability to go further and try to help the werewolf completely get rid of its pain.
Damocles Belby, the inventor of Wolfsbane Potion, also read this notebook. Based on the notes and his own knowledge of potions, he was able to develop the formula for Wolfsbane Potion.
…
After the summer vacation, Weizet would often take out Marlowe Fulfon's notes and treat them like extracurricular readings, reading them and thinking about them from time to time;
After this period of deliberation and consideration, he finally picked up the pen and said, "The Animagus during his first transformation... and the werewolf who always loses his mind... only transforms during the full moon cycle..."
He wrote his own conjecture next to the "Animagus" conjecture as a reminder to facilitate future research.
[Just like the wand contains cyclical ritual magic, if the werewolf always repeats "dominated by animal instincts", it means that it is also trapped in the cycle. 】
[We use the full moon cycle to protect ourselves and complete the Animagus transformation... The full moon can bring a different kind of power... The werewolf wizard is affected by the full moon...]
[The full moon can affect the tides and can also produce powerful mysterious power... Perhaps they turn into wolf shapes during the full moon because of the attraction brought by the full moon...]
"Attraction..." Weizet murmured, "When you turn into a werewolf, you will be dominated by the desire to kill. It should be explained that 'lycanthropy' not only affects the body, but also affects the soul."
He drew a mark pattern and then wrote: [Because the attraction of the full moon... aroused some kind of killing desire in the werewolf's heart... and penetrated the soul, dominating everything...]
"The full moon will be in a few days. I heard that there are many werewolf wizards here... It would be great if I could just meet one and do some research... and see Mr. Fifang's observations with my own eyes!"
…
"Full moon...werewolf wizard...that's not right!"
Weizet frowned and suddenly realized something. He quickly picked up the wand and put it against his temple to sort out some of his previous memories.
"It's true...Hagrid's memory...Professor Snape's injury...the full moon...their motives for becoming Animagus..."
He opened the notebook again and looked at the performance after turning into a wolf form, "Werewolves can only hurt humans... Muggles can also hurt... but they prefer to hurt wizards... and will not hurt animals!"
"I see, that's why they practice Animagus...so that they can accompany werewolves...Moon Face...is he a werewolf...like something Gryffindor would do."
Weizet shook his head slightly. If he met a werewolf classmate and had a good relationship with him, he would most likely find a way to help him solve his "lycanthropy";
Just like Luna once said when he first turned into a phoenix, she would accompany him to find a solution;
If the problem really cannot be solved, companionship will become a helpless option and a choice that must be made;
The reason why Wizette wants to study werewolves is actually for the same reason, and it can be regarded as a precautionary measure in some aspects;
Of course he wanted to help Luna and let her become a magical animal Animagus, but he had to think of a way out and ensure that Luna would not be harmed in the process;
If lycanthropy is similar to Animagus, and lycanthropy can be solved or alleviated, we will have an alternative plan to deal with possible accidents.
…
Weizet put down his wand and recalled the familiar face from the Magic Congress, "That man... turned out to be Moon Face, the 'Lupin' that Hagrid mentioned. He actually looked so vicissitudes of life..."
But it's normal to think about it. Due to the danger of werewolves after transforming into lycanthropy, and because they can spread lycanthropy, it is difficult to avoid being disliked by everyone and leading to a miserable life.
At this moment, Dumbledore's bookmark finally changed, and a series of handwriting appeared on it.
[I checked with some old friends and found out that the Woolworth Building has six underground floors, of which the prison is located on the fifth underground floor. 】
[There is only one kind of magic set up in the prison, which is the anti-Apparition magic for wizards. The reason for this is precisely because the prison is hidden deep underground. 】
[Once a wizard wants to escape from prison, he will be charged with more crimes. If the crime is serious enough, he will be dragged to the sixth floor underground. In addition to the interrogation room, there is also a death chamber for direct execution. 】
[If you want to enter it, you can consider that the environment on the underground floor is not good after 8 pm. Even if the employees need to work overtime, it will not exceed 7 pm at most. 】
Weizet looked at the smooth handwriting on the bookmark, "Anti-Apparition magic only for wizards... Then it won't hinder my actions..."
He was basically certain that Dumbledore knew his intentions and that was why he made the relevant contents so clear, and even related to the specific time.
Weizet put the bookmark back into his notebook, stood up and stretched slowly, "After all, he is also my 'loyal' subordinate..."
"You also gave me a house elf... Yu Qingyuli... I have to go see you and understand your specific situation..."
Chapter 81 While having dinner and chatting, I was suddenly attacked...
Lucius Malfoy never expected that he, his wife and children, were out of England, having dinner and chatting, when he was suddenly attacked.
He only had time to hear a loud noise, and then he was hit by a red light and fell unconscious.
When he woke up, Appaloosa was lying on his back on the chair. His face was lifeless and there was no trace of blood. He looked like he was dead.
Lucius walked over to Appaloosa and tested whether he was breathing, when a group of wizards appeared at the door and raised their wands to him.
