Chapter 118 The Troubles Resurface
At the door outside the classroom, an angry Ron knocked Malfoy, who came to provoke him, to the ground with one punch.
However, even so, Malfoy still had a foul mouth and continued to criticize the Weasley family, calling them a disgrace to pure-bloods and garbage to wizards...
Ron was so angry after hearing these words that he just rode on Malfoy and started hitting him in the face with both hands.
His two followers reacted at this time and were about to step forward to help, but the two of them simply fell to the ground and fell asleep.
"That's good about being young. You can fall asleep as soon as you lie down!" Before putting away his wand, Wright gave Ron a BUFF to make his attack more powerful.
At the same time, it also stopped Harry and Hermione who wanted to stop Ron and continue beating people.
In the corridor outside the classroom door, Ron was riding on Malfoy, while the two tall and strong boys were sleeping soundly beside them.
The students coming out of other classrooms were stunned when they saw this scene.
If Ron hadn't been so ruthless, this strange scene would easily lead to misunderstandings.
It was not until Wright saw that Malfoy's face was swollen like a pig's head that he pulled Ron, who was still furious, away.
"Ron, calm down. The professor will be here soon. Wait until there's no one around before you beat him up." Wright comforted Ron, who had let out a sigh of relief.
Ron was pulled away, breathing heavily, but his eyes were still looking at Malfoy angrily.
Sure enough, just as Wright pulled the people away, a professor came over.
"What are you doing!?"
Professor McGonagall walked out from the crowd of onlookers, gritting her teeth and squeezing out a few words word by word.
It was obvious that it was an enthusiastic student who saw that something was wrong and ran to ask Professor McGonagall for help.
When Professor McGonagall arrived, she first took a quick look at the scene. Two people were lying on the ground, snoring, and one person was lying on the ground, with a bruised face and a swollen nose.
When she saw that it was Ron who was beating people, she suppressed the complicated emotions in her heart, took a deep breath, and said with a serious expression:
"Ron Weasley, I want you to explain your words and actions."
At this moment, Wright stood in front of Ron and helped explain:
"Professor McGonagall, this matter is mainly Malfoy's fault. He knew that Ron was very sad, but he still came over to provoke him."
Malfoy, whose face was swollen like a pig's head, struggled to get up from the ground and shouted:
"My father is the school director. Quickly expel this barbaric wizard scum from the school..."
Hearing this, Wright couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and thought to himself: "As expected of you, Malfoy, you easily completed the role of a third-rate villain."
He looked at the shouting Malfoy, and then at Ron, whose eyes were red and his fists were clenched.
Professor McGonagall didn't know who had instigated this, so she said coldly to Malfoy:
"That's enough. You are disrespecting your classmates and using other people's sad things to provoke others. Slytherin will be deducted 20 points."
Malfoy was about to argue, but Professor McGonagall interrupted him: "I haven't finished talking about my punishment, Mr. Malfoy Draco!"
Turning to Wright and Ron, he said, "For using magic without permission, Gryffindor will deduct twenty points."
"For being emotional and assaulting classmates, Mr. Ron Weasley, I will punish you by requiring you to go to the infirmary at six o'clock every afternoon to help take care of patients until the end of the semester."
"Any other opinions?" After saying that, Professor McGonagall looked seriously at Wright, Ron, and Malfoy who were lowering their heads.
'...'
Seeing that the three were silent, Professor McGonagall continued:
"Since there are no objections, then everyone can disperse. It's time to go to class."
After Professor McGonagall finished speaking, the students who were watching left one after another. After everyone had left, she took out her wand and broke Wright's sleeping spell.
In this farce, Professor McGonagall gave each of them fifty lashes of the cane.
Malfoy and his two followers also walked back, cursing all the way.
Although this farce was over, the turmoil caused by the return of the heir to the secret chamber will not be so easily dissipated.
As more news emerged, all wizards knew that the heir had acted with the basilisk.
The crowing of the rooster may not be so useful anymore, and the academy suddenly became tense.
In addition, there were Slytherin wizards who fanned the flames and constantly promoted their so-called pure-bloodism, making people even more panic-stricken.
At night, in the Room of Requirement, Wright was studying the Horcrux that seemed to have changed.
After using various methods to test it, he came to the conclusion that the Horcrux was just an empty shell.
Looking closely at the Horcrux in his hand, Wright was reluctant to destroy it for a moment, and murmured: "The first step to conquering death is in my hands."
"A part of Voldemort has been stripped away."
"If I wanted, I could just inject a part of myself into it, and instantly I would have a Horcrux, a returned archive."
Shaking his head, forcibly suppressing the restlessness in his heart, Wright sealed it again, feeling a little scared:
"If you are tempted, will you become as radical as Voldemort?"
After sealing the Horcrux again and hiding the wooden box in the space equipment, Wright began to think:
"Voldemort has lost the nourishment of his Horcruxes. All he can do now is to quickly grab a body while his mental strength is still sufficient."
"Then he has very few targets, Lockhart who originally possessed the Horcrux, Ginny who was controlled, Fred who was possessed... or the basilisk?"
Adhering to the idea that a good memory is not as good as a bad pen, Wright wrote down his thoughts and guesses in a notebook.
As he was writing, an absurd but possible thought suddenly occurred to Wright:
"Could a Horcrux be a magical creature that uses dark magic to transform a wizard's soul and body into a spiritless creature?"
"Then, use the power it generates to nourish your spirit, while also having a strong ability to protect yourself."
With this new idea, Wright took out the Horcrux and began to study it.
After going through a series of processes including extracting magic power, testing materials and properties, and identifying activity.
It was finally confirmed that the Horcrux was indeed alive, but it had no vitality.
Its state is like a body without a brain. It will only move when it is filled with spirit.
After writing his conclusions in his notebook, Wright felt that this Horcrux was a bit like a magical version of a hibernation chamber.
Put people in there and bring them out to do the work when they are needed.
Touching his chin, Wright thought a little dully:
"From this point of view, the Horcrux is not so mysterious after all. Not only is it not magical, it also seems to be very scientific."
