Chapter 38 Unbreakable
Ancient Runes were written by Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw together.
The difference between the two houses can be clearly seen in this class. The Ravenclaw students listened attentively, while the Hufflepuff students were doing their own things. Some were writing letters, some were doing homework, and some were sleeping.
There were some who were reading books that had nothing to do with the class. As long as they didn't make a sound, Sinistra wouldn't care about them at all. He enthusiastically explained the greatness of runes in front of Ravenclaw, making people almost forget that he was a human being.
Astronomy teacher.
Considering that there is also a Muggle-born wizard in Ravenclaw, today he is teaching runes. This set of characters is mainly used for divination, and occasionally has other functions. As for what it can do, "read more books"
You know, but those books are basically obscure and difficult to understand, and only Ravenclaw "bookworms" can read them.
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them written by Newt Cartman introduces a kind of rune snake, which is native to the small African country of Burkina Faso and is rated as dangerous level four by the Ministry of Magic. It itself is not a particularly vicious snake.
It is an animal, but it was once a beloved pet of dark wizards, mainly because they liked its eye-catching and scary appearance. It has three heads and a bright orange body with black stripes. It looks like
Runes, whose eggs are priceless and can be used to make potions and are said to stimulate reactions in the brain, have made the snake almost extinct. It has become a protected species and a black market has existed for centuries in which runes and eggs have been bought and sold.
Very prosperous.
This is the only function Pomona knows about runes. In addition, she has also heard that some special supplies, such as mirrors, rings, etc., can be engraved with ancient runes, and the manufactured items also have various properties.
It has a magical effect. Legend has it that Sirius Black's family has a two-way mirror. It is so old that no one knows which era it was made. Ravenclaw is good at doing space magic or similar magical tools that make people's heads ache when they hear it.
They are geniuses, there is no doubt about it, but they always stand by the side of the winner. In a certain respect, they are similar to house elves, they are powerful but not very enthusiastic about their own rights.
They serve those in power. If the person in power doesn't like them, they will not think about overthrowing that person. Instead, they will hide away in the wilderness and continue to do their own research.
It was an unwise decision to use force. Hufflepuff secretly called them Raven College without insulting them. Ravenclaw means "Raven's Claws". These people are very self-centered, although the girls in Ravenclaw
They look down on Hufflepuff girls for their foolishness in daydreaming all day long, but what they really look down on are Gryffindors, a group of arrogant people who have little thirst for knowledge and like to use their muscles instead of their brains to solve problems.
When it comes to dark magic, Gryffindor immediately associates him with dark wizards. He is someone who needs to be shouted down and despised. Not only can he not learn it, but he is also not allowed to think about it. It is this kind of prejudice that they have.
It hindered the development of modern magic and caused many magics to lose their descendants.
And because Muggle technology is becoming more and more advanced, many wizards simply live in Muggle communities. This kind of waste of "talent" is intolerable.
The Dark Lord Tom Riddle wanted to change this situation. He dug out many dusty magics from the dust of history and taught them to his disciples, like Bella disappearing into black smoke in Madam Malkin's robe shop that day.
He taught them the magic. They can really fly in the air without the help of stupid-looking magic props like broomsticks, and there is no age limit like Apparition. It is very in line with the temperament of ancient wizards, elegant, mysterious and powerful.
His self-confidence, coupled with his extremely handsome appearance, has countless people who are obsessed with him.
He never prints his photo on the front page of the Daily Prophet like the Minister of Magic. If you want to see him, you have to wait for his summons, or else you have to do something that can impress him. As for what can make him
Are you impressed? Let the people below make wild guesses.
He and Grindelwald are two completely different people. The Dark Lord teaches ancient spells, while Grindelwald discovers the talents of his "disciples" and lets them find their own development direction, which is innovation.
Pomona has never thought about why Mrs. Sprout told her the difference between Grindelwald and the Dark Lord when she had nothing to do. Now that she has left the place where she secluded herself and returned to the world of normal people, she looks back
It was only when I looked at my own life that I felt something was wrong.
Ollivander once said that Mrs. Sprout took Peter to buy the wand when he reported to Hogwarts. At that time, her husband Henry was still alive, but he never went out and spent all day in his house.
Make some magic props in the attic.
Later, Henry died and Mrs. Sprout never went out. Even for such an important matter as buying a wand for Pomona, Peter, a minor, took her there. Two minors took such an old girl with her.
Pocket gold galleons, isn't she worried about something happening to them at all?
As soon as this ancient magic pattern lesson started, Sinista said when introducing the content of this lesson that some ancient magic spells require very ancient languages to be recited. One of them is called the Red Heart Loyalty Curse. This is an extremely complex spell.
Use magic to hide someone's secret forever in the soul of a living person. This person is the secret keeper. As long as the secret keeper stays in the house that needs to be protected and is not discovered, then the house he protects will never be found.
It was found that if the secret keeper leaves the house, the house will remain invisible as long as the secret is not leaked. However, once he leaks the secret, the protected place will be exposed, and the secret he protected will be discovered.
Pomona now needs to use the money her father gave her to buy a bezoar. The only person she can trust outside the school at this moment is Mrs. Sprout, but when she is about to write the envelope, she realizes that she does not know her home address.
She had always gone to Diagon Alley and Hogward through the Floo Network. Anyway, there was wilderness everywhere near her home, and the bus couldn't come to them.
Usually they have no guests, but occasionally Mrs. Sprout will receive a letter from an owl. Every time she reads the letter, she will lock herself in the room for a while, and when she comes out, she will always talk about Grindelwald. Grindelwald
No one in the wizarding world knows who he is, but Mrs. Sprout, a witch who is better than a squib and lives in the wilderness, is very familiar with him. She even knows that he and Albus Dumbledore were once good friends.
Now she asked anyone casually what the relationship was between Dumbledore and Grindelwald. Everyone said that Grindelwald killed Dumbledore's family, and Dumbledore killed the first Dark Lord out of revenge and justice.
of.
That morning at the lakeside, he told her the story of the Philosopher's Stone and the Resurrection Stone. Could anyone really confuse something from a fairy tale with the Philosopher's Stone, the elixir of life created by Nicoléme?
He said that he and Grindelwald swore a blood oath. Sinista just said that wizards can make an unbreakable spell between themselves. It is recited in runes. In Norse mythology, Tyr, the god of war, is the god of justice.
, is also the guardian of the oath. He is the son of the Asir god Odin. After Loki betrayed the Asir tribe, he and the giantess Angelberda gave birth to the giant wolf Fenrir and the mortal python Jörmunga.
Hela, the goddess of death, Fenrir was not big at first, it was as fluffy as a puppy, but then it got bigger and bigger, and it caused panic among the gods. The gods once
He restrained it with different shackles three times, but it broke free the first two times. It was not until the third time that he sacrificed one of the hands of the God of War Tyr that he succeeded.
At Ragnarok, it bit Odin to death and was later killed by Odin's son Vader. At the same time, the Mortal Python also set off huge waves and submerged the world. The god of death, Hela, also came to support with an army of undead.
When making an unbreakable spell, the person making the contract needs to give an arm, and a fire dragon will appear from the tip of the wand. Every time a vow is made, there will be an additional fire dragon. In addition, there must be a witness. No one requires that they be female.
However, the unbreakable spell is more powerful when a woman is the witness. Generally speaking, the price of not being able to keep the oath is the death of the person who swore the oath, but Pomona felt that if Bella, that crazy woman, was allowed to be a witness, she would try to torture people.
Way more painful than death.
Oaths are not made casually, you idiot.
Pomona was extremely anxious, how should she remind him...
She took the quill pen and wrote and drew on the desk. After so many years, it had long been covered with graffiti, and she was no less good. The sharp metal was carved into the wood, making a dull sound, and a few letters
Gradually appeared in front of her...
"Professor!" the woman yelled again.
"Pomona, are you waking up? Pomona!"
She felt her body being shaken, but her eyelids were too heavy and she couldn't open them at all.
"Recite after me." Sinistra was clearly not reciting runes, but he asked all the students to recite after him. The strange thing was that others also followed him, so Pomona also recited along with him.
"What did you say?! I can't hear you clearly!"
I think I've made it very clear. Why don't you understand?
Pomona sighed in frustration. Ancient runes were really boring and she was going to sleep.
"Don't sleep, Pomona!" Mary shook her and said, "get out of class is over, aren't you going to have dinner?"
"Go!" She wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth and sat up. Then she saw the graffiti she had just drawn, which was a little dragon without wings.
