Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

Chapter 409: The Missing Witch

He stared curiously at the skeleton figure shaking in the hands of the old wizard for a while and felt a strange magical fluctuation from above.

This feeling is similar to the snake ring in his arm and is a curse.

In the usual sense, witchcraft is considered one of the many branches of black magic.

Evan has seen in his book descriptions related to witchcraft, and instead of using wands like witches, witches tend to use other mediums to complete curses.

For example, the figure in front of the old wizard is a medium of practice.

Because of the diversity of the medium of application, witchcraft is much more evil in the impression of the vast majority of witches than ordinary dark magic, making people feel taboo and uneasy.

Ivan and Sirius had a few conversations on the subject of witchcraft, discussing how to defend witchcraft until the bar attendants came together.

“Did you hear that?!” She lowered her voice and said in an amusing tone, "There's a witch missing, she's from England just like the two of you, and maybe you'll be interested. But let me tell you, in a place like this, it's not a big deal, but you've asked me before, and I think...”

She stopped and smiled at Sirius and Ivan.

Sirius knew what she meant and threw out a gold gallon.

“Tell me, maybe that's the guy we've been looking for.” He muttered.

Evan has been looking for Bertha Jokins since she came to Albania.

From Lupin's feedback, the guy hasn't heard from anyone since his holiday in the Albanian forest, and nobody knows where she is.

Although Sirius thinks she's likely to venture into the ruins of the Horseman, or be too confused to get lost in the nearby forest.

But Ivan had the feeling that even without the help of Peter the dwarf, Joggins would still be caught by Voldemort like the original plot.

If that's the case, it's really bad enough.

Voldemort will get everything she wants from her, whether her most loyal servant has escaped Azkaban, Hogwarts will host a triumph and so on. All of this information is critical to Voldemort, who is keen to regain his power.

“The woman's name is Bertha Joggins!” The waitress continued.

She gave Sirius her gold gallon into an old wooden cash locker, and the drawer automatically slipped open and swallowed it.

Ivan and Sirius exchanged a quick look, and it was Joggins!

“About half a month ago, she started here, following an adventure team to the ruins of the horseman in the forest.” The waitress leaned against the bar, "of course, these wretched bastards found nothing but stones. They came back this morning, and there was one person missing from the team, the witch named Bertha Joggins. She reportedly disappeared from the camp one night after entering the ruins and has not appeared since. ”

“Is that all?” Ivan frowned and asked.

“Otherwise, what else do you think of hearing?!” The waitress laughed and poured herself a glass of wine with a dirty bottle, "don't expect those guys to tell the truth, they won't care about a person's death, maybe it's something they did themselves. ”

Evan implicitly said that if Voldemort had captured Joggins that night, then he was still in the remains of the Horseman.

Perhaps Dumbledore was delayed for exactly that reason.

As long as Voldemort appears near the remains of the Horsemen, Dumbledore will surely discover, and will surely continue to pursue, that they may now be fighting.

Although Dumbledore is not an opponent at all in the current state of Voldemort, he cannot be taken lightly and masters much darker magic than he imagined.

And Voldemort's knowledge of the darkness of humanity is the most terrifying thing.

“Don't worry! Sirius said softly," Things may not be as good as you think, because of what I know about Joggins, she may have left the team herself. ”

“I hope so...”

“Recently, there has been a real increase in information about the disappearance of witches.” The waitress looks at Evan and says, “You better be careful, there may be a bunch of vampires around here, and women and children are the favorite foods of the monsters. ”

“Thanks for asking!” Ivan responded lightly.

Ever since he met Elaine, he didn't think vampires had anything to fear.

It is no surprise that Albania, which is already home to dark wizards, can encounter dark creatures such as vampires and werewolves.

Vampires are tough to deal with, but Ivan is not a mess either.

Even if you can't fight without using too much magic, you can still escape.

“This morning, a little boy your age cried in the neighborhood, not knowing what to think, and his mother brought him on vacation.” The waitress sighed, "but she disappeared into the jungle herself, leaving the child alone to come back for help...”

“And then?!” Ivan remembers that he did hear someone crying downstairs this morning.

But when he came down for breakfast, he didn't see anything.

“He was taken away by a group of adventurers who said they would help him find his mother in the forbidden forest.” The waitress shook her head and clearly did not like it.

No wizard here has ever been so kind.

What happened to that little boy was self-evident, and anything could happen.

It is said that there are many witches who specialize in collecting the hearts and minds of boys for wicked witchcraft.

“Let me see, little wizards your age shouldn't be here, it's not a good place to take a vacation.” The waitress looked at Sirius and accentuated her tone. "Although your uncle is strong, you are too weak. Any accident could happen. You better get out of here. ”

“We're leaving tomorrow morning!” Ivan whispered.

By the standards of ordinary people, Ivan is an absolutely irresistible representative.

He gives people a good sense of bullying, regardless of age or size.

A little wizard like him cannot be a little resistant when in danger, and if he has any ideas, he is the most suitable target.

If Sirius hadn't been with us the whole time, I'm afraid we would have come to the door.

The waitress persuaded her to think about what had happened to a boy her own age, and Ivan felt heavy and didn't want to continue listening.

He pulled Sirius's sleeve and the two of them got up and were ready to go back.

Just walking up the stairs, Ivan suddenly had a strange feeling, and he turned his head in a hurry, and through the dim candlelight at the stairs, he finally saw the three wizards sitting in the darkest corner on the side of the fireplace, looking at themselves and Sirius.

The man in the middle looked familiar, he was tall and strong, and Ivan seemed to have seen him somewhere.
