Harry Potter Morning Light

Although Bill is already in the fifth grade and has excellent grades, according to the school's requirements, students are not allowed to go to the restricted area without a note signed by the professor.

There was no such rule before. This was mainly because the mysterious man had been to the restricted area after he came to the school, and he had found some information there. He also had doubts about it and asked Slughorn some questions.

But as Fei Liwei's proud disciple, Bill can still easily get the note signed by Fei Liwei, and he can freely shuttle in the restricted area like a professor.

One day he met Carter in the restricted area, which was not a strange thing, and there is no rule that a professor who is good at Quidditch cannot read.

But Bill still followed, and found that Carter did not give the book to Mrs. Pince, but found a place where no one was there to copy it, took the copy away, and the original was still in the library.

Of course, because he had a falling out with Mrs. Pince over some issue.

After Carter left, Bill picked up the book that Carter borrowed and read it again.

In addition to goblin magic iron and magic silver, there is also a gold-like substance, even among goblins it is just a legend.

Its status is similar to the Philosopher's Stone, except that the Philosopher's Stone turns base metals into gold, which cannot be created with the Philosopher's Stone.

"So once it's found, Carter won't have to give the sword of Gryffindor to the goblin?" asked Pomona.

"Who told you he was going to give the goblin the sword of Gryffindor?" Severus asked back.

Pomona was at a loss for words.

"He believed it was at Hogwarts, and that Barnaby knew where it was," he went on.

"How did Barnaby know this?" asked Pomona.

"Because of Paul." Severus pursed his lips together. "Have you ever wondered what he is?"

Pomona felt that "scary doll" wasn't an adequate description of Paul.

"His eyes are red, like the Dark Lord's," Severus said. "Could it be a Horcrux?"

"Oh, that's why you want him at school?" Pomona yelled.

"Like you, this is the first time I have encountered such a thing."

She felt dizzy and a little confused.

"He probably thought there was that kind of gold hidden in that cave," Severus said. "Don't dawdle anyway."

Then he cast the Disillusionment Charm on himself, and Pomona also took out the invisibility cloak, and came to the place marked on the map of Leeds.

Sure enough, they saw Barnaby, Ben, and a distraught Carter in front of the cave. With both Barnaby and Ben's hands bound behind their backs, Carter lit a torch and placed it in the hole.

It was a very small cave, almost only for people to stand in it to hide from the rain, and the cave was full of stalactites.

"Damn it," Pomona whispered.

"What the hell?" Severus asked.

"Where have you seen stalactites in Scotland?" asked Pomona. "This hole is not natural."

"Tell me how to get in!" Carter pressed.

"I don't know," cried Barnaby.

"You must know!" Carter yelled, "Don't pretend!"

"Can you tell us how you're sure we know?" Ben said.

Carter was less polite to Ben, and there was a red flash of his wand.

"The door didn't open." Carter said, "Didn't you say that you can open it with the Unforgivable Curse?"

"What did you do to Ben?" Barnaby yelled.

"Obviously it's not 'fainting'." Carter was a little smug.

Ben fell to the ground, looking as if in excruciating pain.

"He cast the Unforgivable Curse on the students," Pomona said. "The evidence is clear, so what are we waiting for?"

"Still waiting." Severus held Pomona back.

"Then what are we doing here so early? Picnic?" Pomona asked.

The strong Barnaby stood up, and he seemed to use his size to bump into Carter.

But Carter dodged it swiftly, his red cape looking like a matador's cape.

"Don't be complacent, you won't get away with it," said Barnaby viciously.

"As long as I carry the treasure, what am I afraid of?" Carter laughed. "The world is so big, I can go anywhere."

"I won't let you," said Barnaby.

"So you know? Don't you!" Carter asked eagerly, as if he had caught Barnaby's handle.

"He doesn't know anything!" Ben yelled "I know better!"

Carter was at Ben's side again, pointing his wand at him.

"Say, what's going on?"

Ben sat up slowly.

"Paul is the guardian of the treasure. He died because he absorbed too much energy."

"What?" Carter asked, confused.

"Those energies, dark forces gave him great strength, and at the same time made his body unable to bear it, so he died." Ben said, "Before he died, he made a 'container' for himself."

"What container?" Carter asked.

"This is it."

With a vague sound, Pomona saw a puppet appear behind Ben.

Carter looked at it and laughed, "Can you be a guard just by this?"

However, the laughter didn't last long, when Carter heard heavy footsteps, and then saw two heavily armed trolls standing not far away.

"Tut tsk tsk." Paul said regretfully, "It's really powerful and lacks patience."

The two trolls charged at Carter, who dodged swiftly, but Ben and Barnaby were about to be hit by the troll's mace.

The troll actually stopped, and the mace almost hit Barnaby and Ben.

"They keep throwing crazy people in tights on me," Paul said sadly. "Is that the only thing I deserve to be with?"

"Of course." Severus said.

"Ouch, I just want to find someone who can match the playground I created in surprise. Our game will continue. I won't let you die so easily."

Then the little puppet raised his right hand and made a fist, and the troll began to attack Carter.

"Are we going to let them go?" Pomona asked.

Although Carter hadn't fought for a long time, he was abroad during the Wizarding Wars, but he was agile, and he seemed to be leading trolls to attack the walls of the cave.

"Wait." Severus said coldly.

Because there was too much noise here, other people in the Forbidden Forest were soon attracted, including the centaur, Hagrid, and Priya Moore.

"Stop!" Puglia yelled, "In the name of the Ministry of Magic, stop your actions immediately!"

Carter ignored her, and Paul let out a sharp laugh.

If you don't know the inside story, just looking at this scene, it looks like a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor protecting two students from a dark wizard who manipulates trolls.

Even with the testimony of Bill, Ben and Barnaby, who would believe what the little wizards said?

At this time, the forest was filled with mist, and in this abnormal fog, a group of hanged ghosts suddenly appeared, which startled everyone at first.

When they saw it clearly, they realized that the hanged ghosts were just puppets, hanging from the branches by a thread like inchworms.

"Relax, it's just a joke," Paul said with a smile.

"I think Paul might be a boisterous ghost like Peeves, not a Horcrux." Pomona said that she was worried about Paul's "playground", which was scary enough.

In the end, the adults decided to deal with the troll together, and Carter took advantage of this time to slip away.

"He's gone!" Ben and Barnaby shouted, but no one listened.

"Should we go get him?" Pomona asked.

"Catching prisoners is what Aurors do." Severus said dryly, "Let's go."

"That's it?" Pomona asked.

But Severus ignored her, so she had to follow along.
