Hogwarts: Voldemort, don't stop me from studying - Chapter 355
This time, with Dumbledore there, the two of them arrived at the town in just a blink of an eye.
The feeling of the follower’s appearance was very uncomfortable, but Wade had now learned how to adjust his state in the rapid space transfer. After a few deep breaths, he recovered from the dizziness and nausea.
“Are you feeling better?” Dumbledore asked.
“Yeah.” Wade nodded, looked around, switched with the scenery he saw in the sky, and then walked to the path on the right.
“Go this way, I remember the hotel should be in this direction.”
Apparition is always accompanied by a loud “crackling” sound. Even if the caster is Dumbledore, he can only make the sound smaller, but it will not disappear completely.
Vampires have keen hearing. In order to avoid being discovered by them, Dumbledore’s apparition landing point is two or three hundred meters away from the hotel.
Then, the two cast spells such as Disillusionment, Ignore, Shielding, and Mute and Listening to hide themselves and walked along the cement road to that side.
On the way, Wade lowered his voice and told Dumbledore everything he had heard and seen before.
“I have never fought against vampires before, and I am worried that I can’t handle it… and if they turn into bats and one or two escape, it may cause trouble in the future…”
Dumbledore’s voice with appreciation seemed to come from the air:
“Well, it is right to be cautious. I am glad to see that you did not rush forward rashly.”
“There is a spell specifically for dealing with vampires. It is not in our textbook, but if you enter the advanced class of the spell class, you will have the opportunity to learn it from Filius.”
“What spell?” Wade asked.
Dumbledore said: “The Sunlight Spell, some people also call it “Hugging the Sun.”
Wade recalled and said: “I have never heard of it.”
“Of course, because this spell is now listed as a forbidden spell, the Ministry of Magic prohibits schools from teaching it to students-because it will cause serious harm to non-wizard half-humans-that is, vampires, endangering their personal safety.”
Wade was speechless for a moment.
The personal safety of vampires is important, but is the safety of wizards who encounter vampires unimportant?
Dumbledore seemed to know what he was thinking, and said slowly: “I once heard Nick Flamel say that more than 500 years ago, the power of vampires was unprecedentedly strong.”
“At that time, the plague was rampant in Muggle society, and there were many infected wizards. Vampires are powerful, good at hiding, and not afraid of viruses, so they developed their own tribes on a large scale, and once flooded.”
“The Muggle Church once mobilized a large number of knights to eliminate vampires around the world, and countless people were killed and injured. At that time, wizards were also fighting against the harm of vampires, but there were also some powerful guys among vampires… In the end, many wizards could only take “I hid with my family…hid among the Muggles.”
“But because of the appearance of the Daylight Charm, wizards finally gained the power to fight against vampires, changing their completely disadvantaged situation.”
Wade listened quietly to these contents that would not appear in textbooks, and then raised his own questions: “I remember that vampires just hate sunlight, but they are not unable to move in the sunlight.”
“That’s true. But the light released by the Daylight Charm is hotter and more violent than the mild sunlight. It is said that for vampires, facing it is like being thrown into a frying pan, but it does no harm to most creatures.” Dumbledore said.
Wade concluded: “So now, vampires have become a minority group that needs protection.”
“That’s right. After a long period of killing and sacrifice, in the 17th century, the International Confederation of Wizards and vampires reached an agreement to stop the history of war and mutual slaughter.”
“Vampires claimed that the Daylight Curse caused cruel persecution to their people, and strongly demanded that the International Confederation of Wizards prohibit wizards from learning and using this spell.”
“And the wizards strictly restricted the number of vampires and formulated various laws.”
“For example, vampires are prohibited from attacking humans and semi-human intelligent creatures, and they are prohibited from attacking livestock raised by humans. They can only suck the blood of ordinary livestock they raise or buy, and every vampire needs to be reported to the Ministry of Magic, etc.”
Wade: “…”
There is no doubt that at the end of the war, vampires were probably hunted down by Muggle troops and wizards and had nowhere to go, so they bowed their heads and signed various “unequal treaties” to obtain the protection and acceptance of wizards.
As for restricting the learning of the Daylight Spell, it was not a compromise of the Wizarding Association, but just a “human rights” declaration of the victors.
In fact, the spread and learning of this spell has never stopped.
In newspapers, there are often some remarks that the Ministry of Magic should kill all vampires.
There are also some wizards who openly take pride in being “vampire hunters” – even though they may never encounter real vampire enemies in their lives.
For example, Lockhart once described in his book how he traveled on the same ship with a vampire, “friendly exchanges”, and finally transformed the other party to eat only lettuce.
Lockhart’s book sold very well, but the vampires also endured it and did not go to trouble the peacock.
“What is the Daylight Spell?” Wade asked.
“Remember the spell: Achaias-Tomio. When using the spell, you need to have the belief of protection, never killing. Then wave the wand like this-“
Dumbledore said, shaking his fingers gently.
Although he did not reveal his figure, a glimmering arc appeared in the air, showing the way to wave the wand for this spell.
Wade remembered it silently and repeated it twice in a low voice, but did not really release the spell.
“It is best not to use it in crowded places-” Dumbledore chuckled and said: “You know, it is illegal.”
Wade also smiled.
It must be said that doing “bad things” together is easier to make people feel identified than doing good things together.
At this time, they had seen the hotel, although at Wade’s height, he could only see the lighted window and could not see the people inside.
At the same time, he also saw the peregrine falcon standing in line with the owl-from this angle, it looked like a slightly larger pigeon.
Not sure if it was an illusion, Wade vaguely felt that he heard the headmaster laugh.
He silently darkened his face and felt ashamed of his past self.
Dumbledore changed the subject: “Is the child inside your missing friend? I remember his name is Caryl Johnson.”
Wade emphasized: “He is Caryl Johnson, but he is not my friend – not before, not now.”
Dumbledore glanced at him and asked: “What happened?”
