Chapter 96

Rita Skeeter talked about this matter in a high-profile manner, naming the Azkaban guards' negligence and disadvantages, and then praised the Aurors for their tireless work.

"This writing style really wakes me up every time I read it, just like drinking the bitterest coffee."

After praising Rita's writing style, she certainly didn't say this for no reason.

Only by being high-profile enough can people see your contribution.

Since Rufus Scrimgeour is already one of his connections, John will not be stingy with his support.

This incident really made Rufus Scrimgeour shine. He has been interviewed several times, stating that he will definitely catch Sirius as soon as possible and will not hesitate to deal with him at critical moments.

Rufus Scrimgeour quickly gained favor with the public due to Iron-blooded's speech. People preferred to see interviews with this Iron-blooded Auror than Fudge, who was always pushing the envelope.

After tidying up his appearance, John glanced at his wand and thought for a moment, he might as well change his way of traveling today.

Walking out of the house, he raised his wand toward the street.

Soon, a bright purple three-story bus rushed in front of us.

After handing over the money, John stepped onto the bus.

The bus shuttles quickly through the streets, alleys and alleys, as long as there is a road, this bus can pass.

"This creation has many more functions than Mr. Weasley's car."

After looking at the car for a while out of habit, John felt that a lot of magic was probably used inside.

It was just that the car was not very stable, the brass tube bed frame was swinging around in the car, and a wizard tried to drink water and had water thrown directly in his face.

He should be lucky that it wasn't hot, rich, sweet chocolate, otherwise this face would have received a free facial mask.

Arriving at the Leaky Cauldron, John enters Diagon Alley.

As lively as ever, the long cobbled streets are lined with wizarding shops.

Some of the houses are crooked and are definitely dangerous buildings in the Muggle world.

Florin Fusco's ice cream shop is doing brisk business and has launched a new type of mysterious tomato scrambled egg ice cream from the East.

Regarding this taste, John thought about it for a while but did not dare to try it.

However, the people who went to taste it seemed to be old wizards. Isn't this taste liked by young people?

It wasn't that there weren't any little wizards, John saw a few of them wearing Hufflepuff ties.

Passing by the Quidditch boutique, a brand new Firebolt was placed on it.

This is currently the fastest broomstick. The price has not been disclosed and is only negotiable.

With the Quidditch World Cup coming next year, the timing of the release of the Firebolt is really bad.

The shop owner is still trumpeting that an Irish international club has placed an order for seven pieces.

This made John consider selling broomsticks. It was so profitable.

He also saw a familiar head in the crowd, but before he could pass by, the head left again.

Arriving at Flourish and Blotts Bookstore, John saw the banner "I Swing the Sword at Hogwarts" and the physical book placed in the most conspicuous position.

A piece of paper is taped to the bookshelf.

Purchase a complete set of Gilderoy Lockhart books and receive an additional signed photo.

The witches and wizards who already had the previous series paid for it again on the spot as soon as they heard about the photos.

For no other reason than to get autographs and photos.

John looked at this scene with a smile, "Buy, buy, the more you buy, the happier I will be."

After watching the hot scene for a while, John walked in to buy textbooks.

Behind the glass at the door, a dejected clerk stood next to a huge iron cage.

He stared fiercely at every wizard who came over, and when he saw the little wizard coming, he would wailing in pain: "No--"

John saw the "Monster Book of Monsters" biting each other inside the iron cage, and looked at the unfortunate clerk with pity.

Hagrid picked out weird books that the clerk probably never wanted to see again.

Fortunately, Hagrid had already given him a copy, and John had bought the other textbooks.

The teaching materials for the divination class happened to be the books I bought when I bought the crystal ball.

After buying all the teaching materials, John went out and saw the head being squeezed here and there among the enthusiastic crowd.

"Poor Harry, I hope he grows taller in the future."

John, who had a proud height, watched with sympathy as Harry was squeezed out, and happened to run into an event at Flourish and Blotts Bookstore.

John also needs to customize a new school uniform. The current uniform is a bit short, so he can grow up quickly.

After buying the school uniform, he passed by a store. In the glass display window, there was a beautiful moving model of the galaxy in a large glass ball.

After standing outside and watching for a while, John touched his chin and said, "Hermione's birthday is coming soon. Maybe she will like this gift."

After looking at the price, well, it’s really expensive.

Although there was no shortage of money, John still complained.

After going in and buying it, he apparated back directly out of Diagon Alley.

There are still 10 days until school starts.

…

Chapter 111 Ice Cream and Twin Kidnapping

Unicorn horn has the effect of healing the soul. John gave the snake a potion made from unicorn horn powder to drink.

When I contacted Nagini again, she was much better.

"Thank you, I'm much better."

Nagini's voice no longer sounded miserable, and she finally no longer had to wail alone without anyone responding.

John nodded and said, "I feel relieved to hear that you are okay."

Nagini regained her energy and chatted with John, a lilt in her voice.

"I can't believe I can still talk to people normally, it usually takes over."

"It?" John caught the point and asked, "Who is it?"

"The blood curse, it controls my body and drives my soul into the corner."

Does Blood Curse have its own consciousness?

John was confused and continued chatting with Nagini.

Gradually, he learned about the blood curse.

It is like a baby. It cannot affect the host at first, but as time goes by, the blood curse will gradually grow.

At this time, the host becomes a blood-cursed orc.

When the blood curse fully grows, it will take over the body, but the original soul of the host has already been cornered and cannot even take the initiative.

This blood curse has a soul.

John frowned. This soul was not an ordinary soul. It was closely related to Nagini. It could even be said to be a person.

Or you can call it an evil spirit.

"A spell for the soul."

After murmuring something, John looked at the big snake's body.

While he was healing Nagini, the blood curse was also being cured.

"Then... break and then stand!"

There is light in John's eyes. Since it is attached to the soul, it will cut the soul open.

This process was extremely painful, even John wasn't sure if he could survive it.

If cutting off Fenrir's arm was described as cutting, then Nagini's condition was described as tearing apart her soul.

The pain is unbearable, and the soul will dissipate if you are not careful.

"You need to be fully prepared."

Taking a deep breath, John found a breakthrough, but the process did not shorten.

The blood magic potion is going to break the curse, and the surgery on my own soul is going on at the same time.

"The blood curse is like permanent transformation. If I use the Animagus method..."

Light gradually appeared in his eyes, and John thought of another transformation technique, Animagus.

Although it is a transfiguration technique, it requires a set of rituals and potions.

"Look for any records at Hogwarts."

The silver light in his hand shattered, and the conversation ended again.

John is beginning to look forward to the start of school.

…

August 31st.

There is one day left before school starts.

John went to Diagon Alley, and on this last day he really couldn't stand his father.

Watson Wick wants John to conjure up a cooking rat for him, which is like watching too much Ratatouille.

Even when Watson Wick tried to make Tom the Ratatouille King, he didn't even think about the fact that Tom's paws and being able to pick up things were a medical miracle.

In order to allow Tom to fully grow into a dog, John chose to leave one day early.

Lest my father would make any outrageous demands again.

He really wanted to tell Watson that he was just a wizard. The demands you made would make God want to whip you.

Taking the bus, John arrived at the Leaky Cauldron again.

After paying to move in, John found that Tom was a little unhappy.

"Do you want to be black?"

When John saw his dog, he knew that he missed Yanzu among dogs.

After touching Tom's head, John comforted him and said, "You are still young now, and those stray dogs outside are smarter than the last. You are nothing but the boss in front of Yaya."

Tom: "..."

Are you sure this is comforting?

Tom, who suspected that the dog was born, became depressed, and after Basil flew out of the birdcage, he immediately chased after Basil, trying to lick Basil's feathers off with his tongue.

"Lick the dog."

With a sigh, John was ready to go shopping.

For no other reason than to try the tomato scrambled egg flavored ice cream to see if it is authentic.

I heard that there was also mapo tofu flavor, and John was curious about how he made these things into ice cream.

Head to Diagon Alley.

Florin Fusco's Ice Cream Shop, which was very popular last time, has seen a lot less people, probably because of the dark cuisine that persuaded them to leave.

Walking over, John found a black girl who looked familiar.

When the other party saw John, he shouted in surprise: "John!"

"Uh...who is this voice?"

Blinking his eyes, John saw the black girl smiling with two big teeth.

"Hermione? Why are you so dark?"

The three little ones are all here, and all the textbooks have been bought.
