The man behind Hogwarts

Chapter 121 Mysterious Man

I glanced at the second floor window and had a plan in mind.

William took out his left hand from his waist and drew out the serrated whip.

He could control the whip with his mind. He flicked it lightly and the whip immediately wrapped around the second floor window.

With a pull of the arm, the body jumped up, and then kicked on the wall...

squeak,

Push open the window and get right in.

The second floor of the library was dark, with only a little moonlight near the window, and it was almost impossible to see inside.

It is impossible to light a lamp;

And there is no magic spell like night vision.

Fortunately, there is a way.

His body flickered twice as if out of frame, and when he reappeared, a white vine was wrapped around his body.

Whispering softly: "Vega, it's up to you, help me lead the way to the first floor."

Holding Veigar's tail with one hand, he moved slowly with it, and at the same time used a magic spell on himself and Veigar - silently.

It's a pity that there is no higher level concealment spell, otherwise it would be more convenient.

Following Vega through many bookshelves, here deep inside the library, almost nothing can be seen, only vague black shadows can be seen.

Passing through the bookshelves and down the stairs, he reached the first floor;

As soon as he arrived on the first floor, he saw a faint light seeping out from the depths of the bookshelf. According to his estimation, there were only about three bookshelfs between him and the mysterious man.

By this time, he was more cautious.

He walked gently through the bookshelves, stopped in front of the last bookshelf, and looked through the gap in the bookshelf baffle.

A man wearing a black robe and a hood squatted on the ground, reading a book in his hand.

And this location is clearly a restricted book area.

This mysterious squatting man is quite tall and is probably not a young wizard. In other words, he is most likely a staff member of the school.

"That's interesting."

William immediately thought of Voldemort, who was causing trouble in the wizarding world, but he immediately overturned this guess.

According to the memory of his previous life, Voldemort only returned to Hogwarts when Harry Potter entered school in 1991, and possessed Quirrell. Now Quirrell is still teaching the 'Muggle Studies' class.

Who could he be?

The loose hood covered the mysterious man's head, and William could only see a dark shadow under the hood.

After waiting for a few minutes, the mysterious man made no other movement and just kept turning the pages of the book.

"Forget it, there's no need to worry about this."

Since he couldn't see the mysterious man's face, William turned around and prepared to leave.

The reason why he came in to investigate was just out of pure curiosity, and he had no intention of interfering. Moreover, maybe this person was just a member of the same group. After all, he once wanted to visit the forbidden book area at night.

The steps retreated silently.

Suddenly, a cold voice sounded,

"Won't you continue watching for a while?"

William turned around suddenly and found that the mysterious man behind the bookshelf was tilting his head and looking this way, with his lips and chin exposed under his hood.

"He has discovered me a long time ago!" Thinking of this, his expression became a little stiff.

So he stopped and said across the bookshelf: "How did you discover me?"

While asking the question, the Veigar slipped off quietly and slipped into the shadows...

"It seems that you must be a student below the fourth grade." The mysterious man's voice was very stiff, "Otherwise you would know that there is a curse called the 'Invasion Curse'. As early as when you walked to the first floor, the curse was Reminded me."

That's it, William knew it.

"I wanted to leave just now, why did you call me to stop?"

"I haven't found what I'm looking for yet. In order to prevent you from attracting others when you go out, you have to stay here for a while."

"What if I don't want to."

The mysterious man stood up: "It's not up to you."

For a moment, both of them held their wands, and the air in the library seemed to stop flowing.

When the mysterious man stood up, William finally saw his face, the face of an ordinary man.

William had no impression of this face, and it didn't look like any of the faculty members... Maybe he was just a senior student... Or maybe he used transformation magic.

But this is no longer important,

He wanted to see what the other party's confidence was in saying this.

William immediately raised his wand and said a spell in his mouth: faint!

The mysterious man waved his magic wand lightly, and a magical scene immediately appeared in the air: a pale golden shield flashed away. The shield seemed to be attacked by something invisible and was slightly deflected, but the invisible attack did not break through it. defense.

Iron Curse?

William immediately recognized the opponent's defense method,

The Iron Armor Curse is an upper-medium difficulty spell. This spell can defend against most common spell attacks, and can even defend against physical attacks.

Only students in grade four and above can learn it in school, but not all students can learn it.

As far as he knew, there were even some Ministry of Magic staff who didn't know how to use this spell.

"He is indeed not a student. Students cannot cast a 'silent spell'."

When the mysterious man cast the Iron Armor Curse just now, he just waved his wand slightly, and William did not hear him recite the spell, indicating that the other party used a special method of casting spells - a silent spell.

In the Harry Potter movies, Snape and Quirrell had an indirect confrontation using silent spells.

"Using a silent spell to cast the 'Iron Armor Curse'? It's tricky. This method is very unusual. Not all teachers and professors can do it."

boom,

The pale golden shield flashed away.

The mysterious man waved his wand again, and before William could utter the next spell, he had already completed his counterattack, "I'll give you a stun spell."

He finished the spell very quickly and even had time to speak.

William's spell had just been recited - "Expelliarmus!".

What he cast this time was the 'disarming spell'.

The disarming spell is the most commonly used spell in magic duels. Its effect is to remove the opponent's weapon. When used in wizard duels, it removes the opponent's wand. Once a wizard loses his wand, he basically loses most of his ability to resist.

‘Stunning Curse’ vs. ‘Disarming Curse’

The stun spell came to William first, just in time to meet the disarming spell he issued.

The two magic spells collided in the gap between the bookshelf, and immediately produced a diffuse shock wave: the books flew around, the pages tore, and the solid wood bookshelf also creaked.

boom,

The dull sound echoed in the ears of the two of them, and the two magic spells disappeared into nothingness.

"It's not easy for a student like you to be able to counteract my spell."

A trace of surprise flashed through the eyes of the mysterious man under his hood. He was very aware of his own strength, although the 'stun spell' was cast through a silent spell, which weakened some of its power;

But this is definitely not something that ordinary little wizards can resist.

"It's strange that he doesn't even know the 'Invasion Curse', but he can resist my 'Coma Curse'..."
