A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 401: Andros the Invincible

"Haierbo?!"

Ron let out a short scream, and the people in the lounge immediately looked in their direction. He quickly lowered his head, his nose almost pressed to the table, and waved to Harry and Hermione.

The two got closer, and Ron kept rolling his eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Is... that Hai Erbo? The creator of the Horcrux?"

"Exactly," said Hermione.

Ron looked at the dusty hourglass hurriedly. Harry had wiped the floating dust on its surface before, but it still looked full of age. He said in a trembling voice, "You think... Won't you hide a part of Hai Erbo?"

"You mean Horcruxes?" Harry asked nervously, looking at the hourglass, which was in Hermione's hand.

"No!"

Hermione said bluntly, "Professor Haip checked..."

She raised her head, sat up straight, and recounted the things in the Egyptian pyramids, focusing on describing the statues and altars of Haierbo, and how the statues decayed.

"It's hard to understand...wait a minute!"

She ran back to the girls' dormitory, and brought back a shallow wooden plate made of chestnut wood in a short time. Both Harry and Ron understood her idea—to use the memory disk to reproduce the scene at that time.

So they sat together, watching the silver sand in the memory disk rain like rain, the dark and gloomy pyramid dark room in the summer vacation reappeared, the long and narrow corridor full of curses, isolated from the world like the corpse of a basilisk forgotten by time , and fleetingly glimpsed but rapidly fading statues.

What they saw was from Hermione's perspective. She was a step behind Felix at the time, and saw that he took a breath, and the statue completely cracked, and then turned into fine dust and disappeared.

Harry and Ron watched this scene in shock, and no amount of exquisite language could fully describe this scene.

"Wait a little longer," said Hermione, staring intently at the memory disk, "the reliefs on the side wall of the altar are inlaid with some precious stones and small objects, which are all antiques from the current point of view... Look! "

Harry and Ron got closer, and with the help of Hermione's memory, they saw the altar rotating, revealing the images of wizards of different shapes carved on the side walls.

"Where? I only saw gems!" Ron said, almost sticking his nose up.

"Don't stare at the gemstones. These wizard reliefs are the key point. The things in their hands are inlaid." Hermione stretched out her finger, pointing one by one and said, "The gemstones are all on the side. Judging from their positions, they are Pure decoration. Oh, of course, with Haierbo's cunning, it's not impossible to contain curses, but it's definitely gone now."

Harry observed carefully, and sure enough, these wizard reliefs were holding various small items in their hands, small bottles, feathers, small sticks (maybe wands?) and... a dusty hourglass.

"There is an hourglass, exactly the same!" Ron said in amazement, "You have a really good memory, Hermione."

Hermione snorted twice proudly: "At first I thought it was the hourglass on the Time-Turner, you know I held it for a year...but I soon realized that they were different, even though they were about the same size , but the time-turner is a gold timer, the hourglass on it is round at both ends, and Harry’s is flat and can stand on a table.”

"How would we know...we haven't seen each other," Ron murmured.

He picked up the hourglass with great interest, stood it on the table and looked at it carefully. Through the gray, glass-like translucent container, he could vaguely see some dark golden agglomerates inside. Together, mobility is completely lost.

"Are you really sure there is no magic residue on it?"

Hermione hesitated for a moment: "It is certain, at least it is not a Horcrux, or a curse. Professor Haipu's magic perspective can see traces of magic power."

"It's really convenient." Ron said, but obviously he cared more about the conclusion given by an authoritative person, and he was not interested in further understanding after his goal was achieved. He picked up the hourglass and shook it vigorously, the dark golden substance inside seemed to be stuck to the inner container, motionless.

"Oh, looks like whatever it used to be, it's just common stuff now, I know some shops in Diagon Alley take that sort of thing, you know, old antiques... you're going to sell it Drop it, Harry?"

Harry shook his head, "It looks quite commemorative, doesn't it? At least remind me that Horcruxes can also decay," he grinned and said in a mocking tone: "If there is a chance to meet Voldemort , I will tell him that the immortality he wants is just a pipe dream.”

…

The next day, November 25th, there is still a whole month before Christmas, but the little wizards found that the temperature dropped sharply, a thick layer of light blue frost formed on the windows of the castle, and the sky was overcast. Heavy, it seems that a storm is brewing.

"It's really a pain to take the protection of magical animals class at this time!"

On the way to the ancient rune classroom, Harry and the others heard a fifth grade girl complaining to her companions. Ron laughed and said, "Hagrid's snails will warm them up."

Harry couldn't help grinning.

In the ancient magic text classroom, Professor Haipu was flipping through a copy of "The Daily Prophet". Students kept coming to say hello, and he nodded in response. When everyone was here, he stood up from the chair at the side of the podium, and the hem of his woolen coat brushed against the armrest of the chair.

"It's great to see that there are not one or two people missing in our class, especially at the end of the first project of the Tournament." Felix dusted the newspaper in his hand, "It mentioned Hogg Watts occupied the first and second places at the same time. In an interview, the Minister of Magic praised Hogwarts for its educational achievements under the leadership of Dumbledore. Of course... In my opinion, the Wizarding Examinations Bureau The viewpoints of Professor Geselda Marchban are sharper and more enlightening, you can take a look if you are interested.”

"Okay, let's start today's lesson."

Felix asked in class: "Has anyone heard of 'Andros the Invincible'?"

It was not surprising that Hermione was the first to raise her hand, but Ron also raised her hand unexpectedly. Harry stared wide-eyed, looking at him in disbelief, Ron seemed a little lost himself ~IndoMTL.com~ He shrank his neck and tried to put his hand down.

"Mr. Weasley?" Felix asked.

"Uh, the invincible Andros..." Ron stood up and said not very confidently: "I saw it from the introduction of the chocolate frog card - I collected them, and now there are only two cards left. Full - he is an ancient Greek wizard, known for his powerful spells, he can unleash a Patronus the size of a giant... His duel ability is also very strong, many people can't hold up to one of his spells..."

Seeing the professor looking at him with a smile, he couldn't help scratching his head, and said superficially, "Andros should have lived in the same era as the despicable Haierpo. Maybe they met? Maybe they fought... ..."

Many students looked at Ron with admiration.

"Please sit down, Mr. Weasley. Most of them are correct, except for the last sentence. Because the age is too long, and there were no special historical writers at that time, we can only find the truth of history from a few words. And There is no evidence that they ever met..."
