Spotted By Grindelwald And Went To Hogwarts Chapter 297:

Thelma approached Sean the next day with some photos.

It is not a black-and-white photo of the characters in the wizarding world, but a static color photo.

"About a spell?" Sean took the photo in doubt.

Selma explained: "You know, my parents are archaeologists, and many of the current ruins are actually related to wizards. They sometimes come into contact with these things during the archaeological process."

Shawn nodded. Archaeologists should be the profession that has the most intersections with wizards among Muggles. To be precise, it has the most intersections with wizarding ruins.

The group of wizards began to have large-scale settlements after the Middle Ages. Before that, the largest group of wizards was often just a family or a circle of acquaintances.

This has also led to many ruins left by wizards after their deaths, which are often first contacted by Muggles.

Under normal circumstances, the relics of ordinary wizarding ruins will not cause disasters and accidents. After all, ordinary wizards will not be free to set up defenses and trap magic in their homes that last for hundreds of years. If there is an accident, the Ministry of Magic will also send staff to solve it.

As far as Sean knows, many museums have wizard items in display cabinets, and they are no different from ordinary cultural relics.

For example, the Egyptian pyramids, in which there are wizards' creations, but the actual development and excavation was first started by Muggles. At the beginning of archaeology, many archaeologists and staff encountered terrible accidents, which gradually became folk myths and legends. Those were actually magical accidents that no one handled.

Later, the Egyptian Ministry of Magic and the highest level of the Egyptian government cooperated to open the pyramids that were not harmful to tourists, while some pyramids that were still dangerous or kept the creations of wizards were closed.

Similarly, there are still many undiscovered wizarding ruins around the world, large and small.

And the first contact is often the archaeologist.

The photo that Selma handed over showed a brownish-yellow weathered stone surface, with a raised hollow hemisphere in the center. That hemisphere is shiny, with a dark gray metallic color on the surface, and the blue lines in it can be vaguely seen.

"This is... the magic metal of alchemy creation, and the main body should be made by fairies." Xiao En squinted his eyes and observed it, then said.

The characteristics of magic metal are obvious, and judging from the degree of weathering of the wall, it should be hundreds of years ago, and only fairies could create that kind of hollowing out technology at that time.

Selma nodded: "Yes, it should be left by a wizard."

"What about the spell... oh...has it been revealed?" Sean paused for a moment before reacting.

This unknown magical creation is obviously triggered.

"Yes, the spell was revealed above the hemisphere, and the camera couldn't capture it. It can only be observed with the naked eye at a close distance through a specific angle." Selma said.

It comes with magic to avoid observation and magic records, which is one of the characteristics of the orthodox creations of ancient wizards.

"It was discovered by my parents during an investigation during the summer vacation, and it was later taken over by the local Ministry of Magic. Because I am a wizard, they were not erased from memory, but were asked to keep it secret. However, my parents memorized the font shape of the spell. I studied it for a while. It is a Swedish-Norwegian rune font. It is a spell when it is explained."

Sean looked at Selma suspiciously: "Um, you know, my runes haven't even crossed the threshold, and Professor Babling should be better at this kind of problem, right?"

Selma looked excited: "That's just a spell, not an ancient spell, but a spell written in runes. If you use ancient magic to cast it, the spell won't work."

Now Sean became interested. The spell Selma mentioned should be a universal spell, also known as ancient magic. Ancient magic is different from ancient magic. This kind of spell has not changed much from ancient times to the present. Modern wizards can cast it without the cooperation of runes.

This kind of magic is either extremely versatile, or the conditions for casting it are very harsh, and very few of them have been handed down in the modern wizarding world.

Sean guessed that the magic of love cast by Lily in the original book is a kind of ancient magic of this kind.

"Then why are you looking for me?" Sean couldn't understand again, this kind of curse can be answered by going to Professor Flitwick.

Selma showed a thief-like expression for the first time, she looked around, and after making sure that there was no one around, she leaned over to Sean and whispered.

"I suspect that it is a black magic."

Dark magic... Sean nodded knowingly. This can be regarded as the little brother of the Ravenclaw students. The attitude of the little eagles towards black magic is not as repulsive as the little lions.

When they were in Nurmengard back then, in the course of magic attack and defense, the learning progress of the little eagles was always faster than other academies.

Selma got a little closer, her eyes were burning: "Sean, no, president—hey, I know, you know a lot of black magic. In the magic attack and defense courses, you are always the one who masters the fastest, just like the blood loss curse, which is obviously an improved version of the black magic blood boiling curse. The beginning and root of the spell have changed, and the pause has changed a place, but the movement of the wand has changed very little.

"In the big class, Professor Gu Lei asked you to go up and demonstrate. The Curse of Blood Loss has a downward movement. Although your movement is very fast, I still saw that you habitually start with the action of picking on the right hand. That is actually the movement of the Boiling Curse, right? And removing the downward movement has no effect on the spell itself, and it will only increase the initial magic output of the wizard. This must be a movement that only people who are familiar with the Boiling Curse can do..."

Looking at the excited Selma, Sean tried to blink innocently. She was right. After getting familiar with it, he also realized that the Curse of Losing Blood was an improved version of the Curse of Boiling Blood. Being familiar with the spell, he would naturally omit unnecessary actions subconsciously.

"No, wait a minute..." Sean narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Miss Murphy, are you familiar with it too?"

Thelma's face froze: "Um, this..."

"Huh?"

The complexion of this fifth-grade senior sister changed, and finally she lay down on the table with a broken jar: "Well, I have secretly practiced black magic—but I can't help it. As the daughter of an archaeologist, isn't it inevitable to be curious about various mysterious things?"

"And..." Thelma's expression is not sure whether it is distressed or something, "I seem to be quite talented in learning black magic..."

Coincidentally, I am also very talented, especially talented...

The two looked at each other with some embarrassment, and finally reached a consensus.

"It doesn't matter if you understand it, you must pay attention when using it."

Back to the curse, Thelma wrote the spell on the parchment.

"Clean the heart, purify the body, enter the body with the holy blood, and rebirth from the cocoon."

Sean looked at this spell with some doubts. Just looking at the meaning of the word, it seems to be some kind of enhancement magic, with many redundant roots, but it is also in line with the super long spell of ancient magic.

"Looking at the meaning of the word, generally the spells involving blood are related to black magic, so I dare not try it. You are more experienced, and you have also studied with Mr. Grindelwald for a while. How is it? Do you have a clue?" Selma asked enthusiastically.

"It doesn't seem like black magic..." Xiao En murmured.

Tianjin

He glanced at the system panel just now. With his current black magic talent, even if there is only a spell, he will quickly understand the effect of this spell.

But no new spells appear on the panel.

"Is there a wand gesture?" he asked.

"No, that's all I translated, without gestures."

"Well, where did your parents see it?"

"Huaxia Kingdom. They were not actually at the scene. The wall was moved from the ruins. The local Huaxia archaeologists were the first witnesses to the scene. Well, here are some photos of the scene." Thelma handed over other photos.

In my hometown... Sean took the photo and observed it.

The original appearance of the ruins cannot be seen from the few photos, only the ruins are located in the mountains and forests.

"To be honest, this shouldn't be black magic, I think it might be some kind of ritual." Sean said.

Selma came over and took a look, looked up in doubt, "Why do you say that?"

"If it's ancient magic, it's impossible for your parents to get these photos. Now that I think about it, it might be some kind of ritual or some kind of method. This kind of thing exists all over the world, but the times have changed, and the only thing left in the ritual is this sentence. The ritual materials and ritual effects are all unclear. This thing is basically useless. As far as I know, the International Federation of Wizards should have kept many such 'rituals', but under the current conditions, they are basically impossible to achieve, so they are provided for research by wizards from all over the world."

"Ah, it's not black magic..." Thelma sighed regretfully.

Sean threw the photo back and smiled: "There's no need to be so disappointed. It's not black magic, so don't worry about it."

"It's just a little disappointing... I could understand a kind of magic, and this ceremony is endless, so I can't understand it even if I want to."

"There are many such rituals. If you need them, I will find them for you, and you can also study them." Sean remembered that there was a ritual record in the bookshelf in Grindelwald's office, but it only recorded certain effects of the ritual. Many of the ritual materials in it have now been lost.

Grindelwald also told him that it is not top secret at all, but there is no public information on the market.

Selma came to the spirit: "Really?"

"Of course."

"Okay! If you have any doubts about runes in the future, feel free to contact me!"

"Then it's settled...huh?" Sean was replying with a smile, but his sight suddenly drifted to the photo on the desktop.

He stretched out his hand and put the two photos together diagonally.

Thelma saw his movements over his head, and then found that the edges of the two photos seemed to fit together into an area, and after the splicing, a blurry creature appeared in the corner of the mountain forest that she hadn't noticed.

"You look so good," Thelma tilted her head and looked carefully, "It looks like an elk? But there is still a little missing in the middle, I can't tell... Hey, are those scales? And why is the tail like this?"

The two photos stitched together at an angle show the general shape of a creature. Most of its head is hidden in the forest. The only thing that can be seen is its elk-like body. The strange thing is that the body surface of the creature is not covered with fur but scales, and its tail is like a long-finned snake tail with stretched hair.

Tsk, that looks familiar... Sean held his chin and pondered.

"Is that a magical beast from the East?" Thelma asked.

Sean nodded: "It should be, but I haven't seen it before."

There are also many unique magical animals in the East. The ancients even recorded some species in books such as Shan Hai Jing, such as the famous benevolent beast like Zouwu-in fact, it is a big cat.

"Then maybe you can discover a new magical animal." Selma said with a smile, she is not that interested in magical animals.

"Maybe." Sean shrugged.

As it happens, there will be the first Magical Beasts Protection class in the afternoon.

After the Paris incident, there was always some weirdness between Sean and Newt. To be precise, it was Sean's unilateral awkwardness.

Newt was just like a normal person, he kept his promise and gave Sean the powder formula that hypnotized Dave back then, and also gave him an extra stone wall net.

However, since knowing that there was a high probability that two old men were acting that night, Newt, who followed Dumbledore's instructions, seemed innocent.

Sean also tried to dig out some news from the other party that night, but Newt said that all his actions that night were done in accordance with Dumbledore's instructions.

Sean had no choice but to give up in the end, but the relationship between the two returned to the old acquaintance.

In the afternoon, when they came to the edge of the Forbidden Forest, Newt and Hagrid were already waiting there.

"Welcome new students, I am very glad that you have chosen this class. I hope that in the next study, you can experience the charm of magical animals. By the way, our gamekeeper Hagrid will be my assistant."

Hagrid was one Sean taller than Newt. He stroked his chest in embarrassment, but pinned Newt under his elbow.

Amidst the laughter, Sean and the others still gave Hagrid a rather warm applause.

"Oh ~IndoMTL.com~ Our gamekeepers are already full of enthusiasm-" Newt shook his head, then beckoned the students to follow, "Come on, kids, look at the little guy we have to learn in our first class."

They walked along the edge of the Forbidden Forest, and soon stopped at the edge of a forest with a particularly dark color.

Some sharp-eyed students have already spotted the little guy in the tree, which is a group of Bowtruckles.

Newt smiled and raised his right hand, and Pickett crawled into his palm.

"This is the creature we're going to learn about in our first class, the Bowtruckle."

Pickett stood in Newt's palm, it looked around, and immediately locked on to Sean in the crowd.

"Bowtruckles are hard-to-spot, palm-sized insect-eating animals, and they—hey, Pickett, I'm giving a lecture." Just halfway through, Pickett made an excited sound.
