Hogwarts: Harley from The Witch Way - Chapter 404

c388 golden cup with open mouth for prayer

In the dark mirror, Harley’s body is looking at a crystal ball.

The crystal ball was filled with black mist. The mist was constantly struggling, as if it was unwilling to be imprisoned in this small space.

Perhaps because she was tired of playing, Harley lightly snapped her fingers.

The crystal ball shattered instantly, and the glass pieces shattered all over the floor.

The black mist inside realized that this was an excellent “opportunity” to resist, and immediately rushed out with bared teeth and claws.

It already had its own vague consciousness and pounced on Harley accurately.

And then… there was no more.

The curse stopped the moment it came to Harley.

Harry just raised his eyes slightly, without any fluctuation in his eyes. The black mist curse was like a mouse that encountered a cat, and instantly shrank back——

At a faster speed than when it came, it accurately pounced on a larger fragment of the crystal ball, and tried hard to drill into it.

After discovering that the crystal ball had been completely broken into pieces, the cursed spirit tried to use the body as an adhesive to reunite the pieces.

I think this crystal ball is small and just right. The outside world is really not suitable for me!

“It’s really interesting. Do you already have the perception of fear and preliminary wisdom?”

With a kind smile on Harley’s face, one of her hairs continued to lengthen and turned into a snake hair.

The snake’s hair was raised high, and the forked tongue in the mouth of the snake at the end kept shaking, making a crisp “hissing” sound.

The black mist suddenly became even more frightened, and the entire curse shrank together, not daring to show its head at all.

“Am I so scary?” Harley’s smile became brighter, but her eyes revealed displeasure, “Well…it seems like I am.”

“Well, this witch has a kind heart and cannot bear to let you endure the fear that you should not bear at your age. Goodbye.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the snake head at the end of the snake’s hair swallowed it hard, swallowing the curse completely like eating jelly beans, and then turned back into long black hair.

Harley herself smacked her lips instead of the snake’s hair, as if she had just enjoyed something delicious.

“Senior Riddle has really fantastic ideas!”

After thoroughly “tasting” this long-standing curse, Harley couldn’t help but sigh,

“This exquisite design uses at least four different black magic cross-mixes to curse a vague concept… Talented, really talented.”

She lightly snapped her fingers, and four black spells flew out from the ends of Harley’s hair, and together they hit a white mouse that had just been transformed.

The little white mouse opened its mouth, but failed to make any sound, so it fell directly on the table and stopped breathing.

“Successful.” Harley’s voice was filled with joy, “But the power is a bit too strong. I still need to differentiate it in detail.”

“There are other things tonight, so let’s stop here first and thank Senior Riddle for the gift. Now this curse is mine.”

After studying the curse cast against the Defense Against the Dark Arts that had plagued Hogwarts for a long time, Harry’s attention came to the lines connecting the curse.

The previous curse was just an appetizer, and even if he didn’t get it, it would only make Harry feel a little regretful.

In Harry’s opinion, only these magical lines connecting souls and curses are tonight’s unexpected surprises and the real feast.

“…This strongest line should be connected to the most important soul fragment of Senior Riddle.”

Those lines have now materialized in Harley’s hands, as if they were the witch’s toys.

“So, he carries a Horcrux with him? Or is his main soul too broken and split into two halves in his body?”

“This issue is worthy of study. When I become the Doomsday Witch of Sequence One, I may be able to use the useless Senior Riddle for final research and let him use his remaining energy.”

“There is one last Horcrux that I didn’t find. Let me take a look…it turns out to be hidden in Gringotts.”

Harley grabbed one of the solid threads and tugged on the crown connected to the end of the solid thread.

This Ravenclaw diadem showed no reaction, and the soul fragment inside did not dare to emerge after a long period of experiments.

“I suddenly had a bold idea.”

Harry looked at this condensed solid line and another long translucent illusory line connecting the head of his dormitory bed, and suddenly thought of something.

A rather evil smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and the barrier around the magic mirror slowly melted, revealing a colorful mirror world reflecting various reflections.

A small hand made of spider silk emerged from the mirror world and reached towards the entrance to the real world closest to it.

After a moment, the little hand quickly retracted, holding a small box with a large number of complex patterns painted inside.

At the same time, the mirror world suddenly shattered, and Harley returned to the Room of Requirement, but this time, the room became a shape that only belonged to Harley.

Spider silk flew in mid-air, and a simple altar quickly took shape. Two long lines of time and one long line of illusion flew onto the altar at the same time.

The box with the seals on it was slowly opened, and the broken soul fragments emerged from it.

The ancient Ravenclaw crown also appeared at the other end of the altar.

Harley stood in front of the altar with her fingers clasped together and her eyes pious as she recited the new three-part honorific name she had changed after she was promoted to Sequence 2 Disaster Witch, a complete mythical creature, and a distinguished angel on earth:

“The favorer of disasters and disasters,”

“The angel who plays the apocalyptic music,”

“The immortal returning guest,”

“…”

The worn-out Ravenclaw diadem originally had no magic power, but magic power suddenly appeared, and a metal mouth slowly appeared.

The soul fragments were still wailing, praising madness and depravity, as well as a certain original witch in a shrill voice, but now they have stopped shouting and have grown a concrete mouth.

Both began to sing at the same time, chanting the same words together:

“The favored one of disasters and sources of disaster,”

“…”

…………

In the wizarding world of Great Britain, the most prosperous commercial street is Diagon Alley, and the wizarding bank Gringotts.

At this time, Gringotts has closed the door, but the goblins have not rested yet and are still working overtime.

They were counting the day’s harvest and calculating how much gold and galleons they had put into storage today.

Below the hall is the underground vault, which is heavily defended and impregnable. The deepest row of vaults belonging to ancient families is even guarded by fire dragons.

The Lestrange family treasury is located here, which is full of various treasures and a gold cup.

This cup doesn’t look particularly precious. It has two handles and a badger engraved on it.

But it was placed alone on the top shelf of the deepest shelf, and the bottom of the shelf was filled with the Lestrange family’s gold genealogy and various other precious treasures.

The cup just slept there quietly, motionless.

Suddenly, Jin Bei seemed to be stimulated by some kind of stimulation from the outside world, so he woke up from his sleep.

Its originally silent magic began to fluctuate wildly and spread wantonly around, resisting the damage caused by the invisible magic.

The wanton magic power of the golden cup stimulated other ancient treasures around it.

In an instant, a small riot broke out in the Lestrange family’s vault, with various items colliding and exploding.

But all this was quickly calmed down by the magic arranged in advance by the Lestrange family. Only the golden cup was swallowing magic wantonly, thus strengthening its own resistance.

However, no matter how hard Jinbei resisted, it was all in vain. In less than a minute, Jinbei’s resistance completely collapsed.

A mouth grew on the cup, and it began to recite the name of a certain great being respectfully.

“The favorer of disasters and disasters,”

“The angel who plays the apocalyptic music,”

“The immortal returning guest,”

“Your followers ask that you come here to bring us the end of all things and the glory of immortality in your kingdom.”

With the chanting over and over again, all the mirrors in the entire vault seemed to be polluted, or purified.

Mouths also grew on their mirrors, and they began to sing and pray together.

The largest full-length mirror inlaid with jewels and gold suddenly emitted violent fluctuations of magic power, and a door connected to the mirror world opened.

Harley stepped out of the mirror world and stepped into this treasure house that had been silent for a long time.

As soon as her bare feet touched the gold jewelry below, the jewelry made a “sizzling” sound, emitted a burning sensation, and copied more fake items.

But Harry didn’t care. The high temperature that would burn the skin of an ordinary wizard was just an ordinary hot spring to her, not even as comfortable as a real magma hot spring.

“Fire spell and copy spell? Interesting.”

Harry picked up a necklace lightly with her toes, glanced at it and made a judgment.

The treasure house suddenly became cold, and the ceiling seemed to be connected to the pole of the South Pole.

Snow was flying all over the sky, and the crystal snowflakes were like blades, pricking hard on these treasures, breaking through the magic that existed on them.

Mute the world and listen to the sound of broken magic!

All the treasures turned into solid ice sculptures in the snowflakes.

When the frost disappeared, all the spells protecting the treasures were lifted.

“It seems the experiment was successful.” Harley looked around and nodded slightly.

“It’s really good. I successfully influenced the Horcrux for the first time and let it perform remote positioning for me…”

“Then, let’s consider these treasures as rewards for my success.”

The Night Mirror flew out from Harley’s waist and swallowed up all the treasures in the Lestrange family’s treasury except for the gold cup.

Ancient books, strings of necklaces, pairs of armor and swords all rose into the air, and the mountains of gold coins quickly disappeared. In the end, not even a tiny copper nut in the corner was missed.

After confirming that the vault was basically empty, Harry stepped forward and took down the gold cup from the shelf.

She could clearly feel that the soul in the cup was shivering after being frozen by the previous ice world.

“Dear Senior Riddle, it seems we have met again.”

Harry whistled and threw the gold cup into his pocket, where it lay with the old crown and the small box.

Solid ice formed on the ground, slowly swallowing Harley’s figure.

When there was no more people in the vault, the ice quickly dissipated and the liquid evaporated, leaving only a lifeless vault.

None of the goblins patrolling outside or the sleeping fire dragon noticed anything unusual in this vault, and the previous fluctuations in magic power were only regarded as normal phenomena by them.

After all, not many of these pure-blood families are good people, so it is normal to hide some contraband in their own vaults that may cause occasional riots.

As long as the money is in place, Gringotts will never interfere.

…………

The underground secret room in the Malfoy family’s manor.

Voldemort was sitting at the table, looking through his magic books.

As for why you said the name of a certain generation of Malfoy family ancestors is written on the second page of the book…

Voldemort didn’t know. How did he know why his book was named by the ancestor of the Malfoy family? It’s enough if he doesn’t ask the Malfoy family to kneel down and apologize!

While flipping through the book casually, Voldemort was thinking about his plan.

He is very satisfied recently. The cooperation with the Saints is progressing in an orderly manner. The Dementors have agreed to return to his command. The weapons of the goblins are about to be completed. The giants and werewolves have also been hidden near the North Sea.

In Hogwarts, although Umbridge made a stupid mistake and almost affected Severus’ spy work on the first day, at least she didn’t make any stupid mistakes again during this period, and she was also carrying out her plan in an orderly manner.

Although the struggle in the Ministry of Magic has become increasingly fierce, Fudge will not be defeated for a while, and it will not interfere with his own plans.

Perfect, simply perfect.

Just when Voldemort was thinking about killing Harry Potter and Dumbledore, and completely controlling the magical world and other wonderful futures, his soul suddenly trembled.

“What happened?” Voldemort subconsciously stood up and looked in the direction of Hogwarts.

He drew his yew wand and chanted an extremely complex spell.

But nothing was out of the ordinary, and the curse that existed at Hogwarts was still intact.

“Strange.” Voldemort frowned, “Is it my imagination?”

After a moment’s hesitation, he began to connect his own curse, trying to use the power of the curse to connect to Umbridge’s Dark Mark.

All went well, and the curse answered his call, blocking the castle’s own power.

Voldemort finally felt relieved and felt that the previous changes were just an illusion caused to him when the curse became stronger.

On the table, the cold black tea in the teacup was poured out and replaced with a freshly brewed cup.

Voldemort picked it up and took a sip with satisfaction, not caring at all that a house elf left the small compartment in the wall.

Why should the great Dark Lord care about such a slave as weak as an ant?

…

(ps. The original book and various materials say that Azkaban is located in the cold waters of the North Sea, so is there anyone with a good geography knowledge who can give the author some popular science on where the North Sea is?) (End of this chapter)
