Hogwarts becomes host

He said he wanted to snatch the family tree, but Adair snorted coldly, turned the page with his left hand, and the book disappeared.

Turning the palm again, the book appeared again, turning over and over again, as if by magic.

Is this a joke? Is this a demonstration?

Damn it, anchor, hold on, what are the others doing? Think of a solution.

Compared with the impatient Hermione, Elaine looked hideous in pain, Harry and Ron were panicked, Daphne pretended to be calm but was really upset, McGonagall, Slughorn and Dumbledore. The professor didn't move at all, just watching the show from the side like a billboard.

He even had the heart to stop four students from attacking Adair.

It’s not that I want to see Elaine die, but I really can’t help.

From the conversation between Adair and Elaine, the three professors have already inferred that Adair uses some kind of special family magic—contract-type magic that mainly involves family members. A contract is made at birth, and members enjoy the benefits of the family. Along with the benefits, he also received a curse. He had to obey the orders of the family master for the rest of his life.

The family secrets cannot be told, and the family's forbidden areas cannot be entered at will. The head of the family can deprive the lives and magic power of people in the family at will. The cost of this kind of magic is very high, and the problems are also huge. If you encounter an unreliable successor, it will be very difficult. It could easily lead to the demise of the entire wizard family, so it has long since disappeared into history.

I didn’t expect that the Shafiq family is still using it. It should be said that it is indeed an ancient wizard family that has been passed down for hundreds of years.

Even Dumbledore is helpless. As long as Adair is still the head of the Shafik family, and as long as Elaine's name is still recorded in the Shafik family tree, he has the right to dispose of Elaine's body, even with healing magic or magic. Resistance only prolongs the pain.

If Dumbledore had given him a few months to study, he might be able to come up with a solution, but now Elaine couldn't last even an hour, let alone a day.

Because the live broadcast room provided a lot of magic power, Elaine did not turn into ashes immediately. Now her skin is slightly red, a bit like a sunburn, but some places have begun to swell and blisters have appeared, entering the second-level burn stage.

Not only her skin, her blood seemed to be boiling, her muscles were about to melt, her whole body felt indescribably uncomfortable, and her internal organs were almost roasted.

In this situation, it is impossible to concentrate on using magic.

Fortunately, there is still a split soul.

"You are still the head of the Shafiq family," the ghost of the separated soul roared angrily, "This is cutting off the inheritance of the Shafiq family. It doesn't matter what is wrong with you, whether your soul is a Muggle or a wizard."

It was said that he was a separated soul who had separated from his feelings early. At this moment, he was so angry that he jumped on his feet and cursed.

Elaine felt that he had probably taken away her anger, because she was obviously in pain that was worse than death, but she didn't feel anything special emotionally. She could even understand what Adair was doing.

It is normal not to want to leave the family to outsiders.

Whoever is willing to give away his property for free is not doing charity. Even if it is a donation, it is to give to poor people who really need help. Elaine is obviously not the one.

The burning sensation seemed to have lessened somewhat, perhaps because she was used to it, and Elaine quickly concentrated on thinking of a way to escape.

There is no way to use force, and we cannot rely on external force. How can we rely on words to escape?

Looking at the spooky phantom, Professor McGonagall, and Slughorn

Elaine felt that she might as well kill herself first, at least she wouldn't have to endure the pain after death.

Speaking of which, why does the main body have to kill her, but the separated soul doesn’t want to kill her?

They are all the same person. Even if they have changed their minds due to being in different environments for a long time, there should still be similarities. At least they value the Shafiq family the same way. How could they attack her, the only descendant?

In addition to experience, the difference between the two is their emotions. If they lose control of their emotions, they cannot make good judgments.

wrong.

It's a bit strange. If the main body is really mad and irrational, and it should attack the moment it sees itself when it walks into the restaurant, how can it still be in the mood to explain to all the students, and even deal with the Aurors in a nice manner?

Elaine met Adair's eyes several times. To be honest, compared to dark wizards such as Voldemort, Malfoy, and Lestrange, Adair's eyes had no killing intent at all. If he hadn't released two The first time Avada Kedavra was killed, Elaine suspected that he was just like the ghost, and just wanted to beat himself up to vent his anger.

As the head of the Shafiq family, he really doesn't care about the death of the Shafiq family.

Elaine observed the Kia Dell again.

Perhaps because of the connection between the split soul and the main body, or some special reasons, Elaine always felt that Adair wanted to kill her, not just because she was a Muggle and an outsider who had usurped the Shafiq family's property.

The divided souls can all say, "As long as the Shafiq family can pass on, it doesn't matter who they are." With this kind of words, how could the main body not have this idea? The Shafiq family doesn't hate Muggles like Voldemort, they are more like He is a researcher who disregards human life in order to study magic and will not kill people for fun without any reason.

What is it that makes the body abandon its principles and would rather let Shafiq's family perish than kill her?

No, I can't think of it

Even with endless magic power to help resist, Elaine's body had its limits, and her consciousness began to blur.

The curse of family magic is quite powerful. Generally, wizards will turn into charcoal in less than three minutes. The live broadcast room only allowed Elaine to last for a little more than seven minutes. If it continues, it depends on willpower.

If anyone observes carefully, they will find that Elaine's skin has begun to turn white. This is because the pigment cells and nerves have been destroyed, and the pain has disappeared.

But the pain of burning internal organs, blood, muscles, and bones still existed, so Elaine didn't realize that she didn't have much time left, and the other wizards didn't even notice. Their attention was focused on Adair. Even if they noticed it, they didn't. The method will only make you feel more uncomfortable.

In a daze, Elaine seemed to hear soft music.

By the way, she has been using music magic to resist, but because it hurts so much that she can't concentrate on casting spells, it's the separate soul that controls the magic, and the same goes for song selection.

Elaine had no memory of the song that was played just now and didn't read the barrage carefully. It seemed to be music from a certain anime, but Elaine remembered this song. She even sang it once in this world. It was the theme song of the movie The Hunger Games. safe and sound safe and sound.

She remembered the first time she sang this song, in the utility room, in front of the Mirror of Erised.

It feels really familiar

Now my whole body feels like it's on fire

I was the scene of fire in my previous life

In a daze, Elaine seemed to have a flash of inspiration, and she used her last strength to speak intermittently.

"You don't want to kill me, but you want to kill yourself. You want to escape and want to kill, kill the soul so that you can die."

Elaine's voice was very soft and vague, and was even mostly covered up by the music, but both the ghost and the main body heard it clearly, and they were immediately stunned.

Then, just like adding salt to the wound, the main body screamed crazily.

"Shut up, why don't you die, damn Muggles, what do you know?"

The next moment, Adair immediately increased his magic output, and the soul family tree in his left hand suddenly burned like oil. Elaine made an unpleasant choking sound, and her trachea was curled up due to the high temperature in her body, making it impossible to transmit it. The air suffocated her.

"Elaine"

"Damn it, Adair, stop it."

"Go on."

While everyone was in a hurry, Dumbledore squatted down and placed his right palm on Elaine's body. His palm and sleeve were instantly swallowed up by the flames, and within a few seconds they became dry and charred, and the flesh on them seemed to have been burned. Done.

Thanks to the transfer of the curse, Elaine can finally continue to breathe, but that's all. Her condition is still very bad, and Adair is still strengthening his power. If he is not stopped, Elaine will still die, and Dumbledore will too. Will be buried with him.

"Albus─"

"It's okay." But Dumbledore still had that calm expression, extinguishing the flames on his robe without a care, and stopped Professor McGonagall from coming over. "Go on, Elaine, and say everything you want to say."

"Like me before, he wanted to commit suicide." Elaine took a breath and said. "The guilt of surviving and the guilt of killing important people. You are still trapped in the fire scene that day like me before. You want to die but as long as my soul still exists, you can't die."

The pain of the fire and the music reminded Elaine of her past, which was one of the reasons why Du Chen committed suicide in his previous life.

Then she understood why the main body didn't care about the death of the Shafiq family because people who want to commit suicide don't think about the future.

"So you want to kill her, you want to kill me." The ghost ghost looked at the main body with sudden realization, "It doesn't even matter whether the Shafiq family will perish because of this, you coward, do you want to evade your responsibility as the head of the family?"

""

Everyone looked at Adair. He shook his whole body and replied with a sentence between his teeth.

"I don't believe you don't think the same way."

"Of course I have." The ghost ghost said disdainfully, "But I held back because I am the head of the Shafiq family. This is my responsibility. I must bear it and cannot escape-"

"Of course you can say that if you have no emotions," the main body yelled, interrupting the split soul's words, "You have no emotions, you don't even know what it feels like. I haven't had a good day in the past thirteen years. If you close your eyes, you will see Everyone falls in front of me, I have to kill them one by one to free them, repeat it tens of millions of times──"

"So what?" the split soul spat at him, "You think I am better off without the protection of the body. I have endured unimaginable pain. I am floating in the Muggle world, moving only with my soul body, constantly moving. Wandering and searching is like looking for a needle in a haystack─”

"Then why don't you die? Why did you wake me up?" The out-of-control body rushed towards the phantom and passed through him. "I've had enough. I would rather destroy everything like crazy and forget Shafi like I did in the past thirteen years." Everything about the Ke family, but you actually──actually─resurrected me. I don’t want to think of all this.”

"Isn't this obvious?" the ghost sneered, mocking the main body and said, "How could you leave anything to me? You are me too. You also have to bear the weight of Shafiq's family. Why should I be busy? Either life or death, you wander around the castle leisurely and scream, and just hit rocks to play when you have nothing to do. How can there be such a relaxing thing?"

No, no, no, how can you relax? Dad, you are too cruel to yourself, aren't you a human?

Stop arguing. The anchor and Lao Deng are dying.

Suddenly I felt that Baba was really a troublemaker, and he made the anchor half dead every time.

He was the one who traveled through time, he was the one who caused the host to quarrel with Hermione, he was the one who caused the host to die, and he was the one who dressed up as a woman and gave birth to a daughter.

The audience in the live broadcast room could hardly stand listening anymore, let alone Professor McGonagall and the others. Especially Elaine and Dumbledore were still struggling on the line of life and death. Now not only the palms, but also Dumbledore's wrists and arms were burned. , everything below the elbow has become black, you can almost see the bones inside, and the curse is spreading.

"That's enough, Shafiq." Professor McGonagall snapped, "It's your own business if you want to die. Don't bury your daughter with him and lift the curse soon."

"I know it's too much to ask you to hold on any longer," Slughorn whispered. "But you can't involve Elaine. Just bear with it for a while, Adair. We will find a way to separate their souls──"

"I've waited long enough." Adair said dullly, "I've had enough."

"Otherwise." The increasingly faint phantom of the split soul raised a finger and said to the main body, "Let's make a deal, you let this guy live, and I let her devour my soul. As long as I disappear, You can also get what you want. Anyway, someone has inherited the Shafiq family, so what?"

"" The main body frowned, seeming to be hesitating. "If you let this guy inherit"

"If she devours me, everything about me will be imprinted in her soul, and it will save her the effort to cultivate her." Split Soul encouraged, "It just so happens that you can take this opportunity to give her the soul family tree, since you don't want to worry about it. If she has this responsibility, then leave it to her."

"it is good."

Without hesitation, the main body nodded immediately.

He gestured on the book, and the flame that had been burning Dumbledore's right hand disappeared. Elaine's breathing became easier, but she seemed to have passed out.

Immediately afterwards, the family tree turned into a white light and penetrated into Elaine's body.

"That's enough." The main body breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the clone, "It's up to you to fulfill your promise."

"Now"

"certainly"

"Hey, look at her, she's fainted." The ghost ghost laughed and said, "No matter how hard I try, she won't have the strength to devour me, at least for a while. Who told you to hit me so hard?" hand."

"" The main body stared at the split soul, "You won't waste time, will you?"

"How could it be that I don't want to live anymore like you?" With the exact same face, the ghost explained gently to the main body. "It's just that I haven't succeeded in revenge against the Dark Lord. I'm really not willing to die. I have to trouble you to wait for about five years. It's okay. You've been crazy for thirteen years anyway, so it doesn't matter if you stay crazy for another five years, right?"

"Don't even think about doing anything to this guy again. Professor McGonagall and Professor Slughorn will be keeping an eye on you, and I will keep the family tree. You can just be your professor peacefully. It's easy to do something." My heart, five years have passed quickly, let’s encourage each other and help each other.”

The main body didn't say anything, but raised his fist and hit him.
