Chapter 180 Fear Curse

There was silence around the restricted area. Dumbledore lowered his head and thought about something, while Hagrid subconsciously touched his chest, as if to confirm whether he was really still alive.

"What you just meant is that Lu Wei went crazy because he thought I was dead?"

Hagrid scratched his hair, feeling that his mind was very confused.

"Well... that should be true."

Kyle nodded, looked at Dumbledore and asked, "Professor, do you think someone used a confusion spell on Lu Wei."

The three-headed dog's magic resistance is very high, and hitting it with ordinary magic spells is almost like tickling it, but that is also different.

Just like Dumbledore just now, Lu Wei was no different from a weak doll in front of him.

Cast a coma spell and fall asleep.

"It's possible." Dumbledore thought for a moment and then said, "But in my opinion, this doesn't look like a simple confusion spell."

Kyle frowned and said, "You mean, in addition to the confusion curse, there is another kind of curse on Lu Wei?"

"Yes, and it's a dark magic."

Dumbledore took two steps forward, bent down and looked at Lu Wei carefully, the tip of his nose almost touching its fur.

Then Dumbledore pointed his wand on the middle head of Lu Wei and murmured: "It's just as I thought... the fear curse.

"Fear Curse?" Hagrid was stunned for a moment. It was obviously the first time he had heard of this curse.

"Yes, strictly speaking it is not a traditional black magic. It only appeared fifty years ago. You may not have heard of it."

Dumbledore stood up and asked: "Kyle, do you know Boggart?"

"Of course, Professor." Kyle said: "It is a magical creature that can shape-shift. It can see into people's hearts and become what they fear most."

"Is this black magic inspired by Boggart?" Dumbledore put away his wand and said calmly: "It can create hallucinations, so that people who are under this curse can always see what they fear most. thing."

"It seems that someone cleverly combined the confusion spell with the phobia, which made Lu Wei become what he is now."

Kyle nodded thoughtfully, he probably understood what Dumbledore meant.

The fear spell made Lu Wei see Hagrid's "death" again and again, gradually tormenting his spirit, while the confusion spell made him see everyone become a "murderer".

Kyle felt a little lucky.

If Dumbledore hadn't discovered Lu Wei's problem in time, if Lu Wei had broken through the gate and ran into the castle...

Kyle shuddered and did not dare to continue thinking about it. It was foreseeable that it would definitely be an irreparable disaster.

You should know that almost all the professors are on the Quidditch pitch at this moment, leaving only some students in the castle who are not interested in Quidditch.

If they met the crazy Lu Wei, I'm afraid they would be torn into pieces in one encounter.

If this happened, I'm afraid Hogwarts would also be closed down.

Fortunately... Dumbledore discovered it in time, and the worst-case scenario did not occur.

Kyle took a deep breath and asked, "Professor, do you have any solution?"

"Is there a solution?" Dumbledore's eyes flashed, "It's very simple, as long as..."

"No, Dumbledore!"

At this time, Hagrid suddenly burst into tears and crawled to Dumbledore, begging: "Please... don't kill Lu Wei... he is a good boy... please..."

"I think you misunderstood, Hagrid." Dumbledore looked up at the crying Hagrid, patted his arm and comforted him: "I never said I wanted to kill Lu Wei."

"Really...really?" Hagrid clutched his chest and sobbed.

"Of course." Dumbledore smiled and said, "I promise."

Although it is indeed the simplest and most convenient way to directly kill the three-headed dog Fluffy, Dumbledore has never thought of doing so.

Because in the whole thing, Lu Wei is the most innocent one.

After Hagrid gradually calmed down, Dumbledore continued: "Coincidentally, before I became the headmaster, I happened to study the Fear Curse for a period of time, and I am fairly familiar with it."

"But now, Kyle... could you please accompany Hagrid to the school hospital?"

Dumbledore blinked and said, "I think he needs a good night's sleep now."

Kyle nodded and walked out of the room.

It was obvious that Dumbledore didn't want them involved in what was going to happen next.

Hagrid followed him, turning back every step of the way.

"Oh, I almost forgot..." At this time, Dumbledore's voice came from the room again.

"Fifty points for Hufflepuff."

…

After leaving the restricted area, Kyle accompanied Hagrid to the school hospital.

Hagrid originally didn't like going there, but now he doesn't care so much.

Whenever he thought of Lu Wei's appearance before, Hagrid felt as if needles pricking his heart. This made him unable to concentrate at all, and he almost fell down the stairs several times.

Dumbledore was right, he did need a good night's sleep.

After arriving at the school hospital, Kyle explained his purpose to Madam Pomfrey, but for some reason, he did not say what happened in the restricted area, only that Hagrid was stimulated.

Madam Pomfrey glanced at Hagrid, who was standing there with his head lowered. Without asking any questions, she just took out her wand and enlarged a bed in the corner.

Then she walked to a cabinet, took out a bottle labeled "Water of Life and Death", and poured all the potion inside into a wooden barrel about the same size as the Quaffle.

Madam Pomfrey poured a total of three bottles before handing the barrel filled with life and death water to Hagrid.

"Lie down on that bed over there and drink it."

Hagrid took the barrel and stumbled over, knocking several beds askew along the way.

This upset Madam Pomfrey.

Fortunately, Kyle set up all the beds in time, so she didn't say anything, just gave a few words and left.

Not long after, snoring could be heard in the school hospital.

Kyle finally breathed a sigh of relief and closed the curtain beside the hospital bed.

After walking out of the campus hospital, Kyle walked quickly across the courtyard, looked up at the direction of the Quidditch pitch, and sighed quietly.

There was no one flying above the stadium, and he could vaguely see a large group of little wizards walking towards the castle.

This all clearly shows that the game is over!

Kyle rubbed his forehead, he had already expected this result.

It seemed like it had been like this since last year, whenever there was an important Quidditch match, something would always happen to him.

I thought something would change this year, but I didn't expect it to be like this.
