Hogwarts Poisoned Egg

The Poisoned Egg at Hogwarts Text Volume Chapter Alger "It's very...e incredible." Egger pursed his lips: "So you are a resident of hell? Are you also a devil?"

"No." The horse-faced boatman shook his head slightly: "Devils are very rare in hell. I am just a creature born in hell. I can be called an inferior devil, but the title of devil can only be given to the beings at the top of the pyramid in hell. Those who are qualified to possess them, with no doubt exceptions, are all your clansmen.”

"There are more than a hundred people like Egger?" Harry whispered unconsciously: "It must be terrible in hell..."

"It's not terrible." The horse-faced boatman shook his head: "Except for the enslaved sinful souls, the others are not as bad as you think. The devils all have their own hobbies. There is no war, no chaos, everything It’s all very stable.”

"From what you said, this is nothing like the devil we understand." Harry smacked his lips: "What are the hobbies of devils?"

"Banquets, dates, outings, gambling, dances..." the horse-faced punter said carefully.

"Are you sure you are talking about the devil?" Egger was a little confused: "Shouldn't he be immersed in killing, or playing games with human lives?"

"Do you like doing this kind of thing?" The punter put his hood back on and looked at Egg.

"...I don't like it..." Iger shook his head.

"Yes, if you don't like it, other devils may not like it either." The punter muttered softly: "But the devils' gambling is still very annoying. They like to see people trembling after losing, and Whenever I see something interesting, I want to get it..."

Egger: "..."

Harry glanced at Iger, so this is Iger's nature?

"If you want to go to hell..." The punter thought for a while and said, "When you are not familiar with the devil, don't make a contract with the other party easily, or exchange anything. Although the devils are not necessarily natural It’s evil, but it’s definitely not an easy existence to get along with.”

"Is it really okay to say that in front of me..." The corner of Iger's mouth twitched.

"Especially you, you must pay special attention." The punter looked at Egg and warned: "Hell is different from the human world. Because there are more magical creatures, the rules of the hell world are also stronger. If you cast a spell in hell, the power will be at least To put it in half, even those evil dark wizards, many of them cannot even cast simple spells."

"I think... Egg's spellcasting level is quite impressive even if it is cut in half..." Harry muttered softly.

"Is it really okay for you to reveal so much to us?" Egg looked at the punter awkwardly.

"I once received the favor of the devil when I was about to die." The punter paused: "He sent me to the underworld and allowed me to survive. As a condition, I have to work here for three hundred years. .”

"Thank God you don't hate me..." Egg stuck out his tongue.

"This is the price and the rules. I have no reason to hate." The boatman said in a low voice, "We are about to reach the shore. Be prepared. If you want to return to the human world..."

The punter glanced at Harry: "Just don't take off that invisibility cloak."

"Absolutely not, right?" Egger looked serious.

"You'd better take it off, it's not normal for the devil's soul to appear here..." the punter said.

Egger: "..."

"I haven't asked your name yet?" Harry asked, looking at the punter.

"My name is Alger." The punter's voice was low.

"My name is Egg, and his name is Harry. Of course, you can also call him Harry..." Egg shrugged: "Nice to meet you."

Harry: "..."

"It's an honor." Alger bowed slightly.

The boat finally anchored on the other side, and the soul lights on the boat got off the boat one after another, dispersed on the shore, and turned into transparent ghosts in the distance, walking towards the front.

"What a strange sight." Egg took off his invisibility cloak and looked at the ghosts in the distance in amazement.

He wasn't worried about Alger lying to him. After all, normally speaking, his appearance in the human world was the most unreasonable thing...

In comparison, the underworld should be considered half of his hometown, right?

"Look, Egg!" Harry shouted suddenly.

After hearing this, Egger turned around and saw that the rolling black river behind him had disappeared at some point. The surface of the river that originally flowed had turned into an endless plain. In the distance in the sky, Egger could vaguely see a rushing black river. , a faint cloaked figure waved to the two of them from a distance.

"Why did he leave so quickly?" Harry looked surprised.

"No, I think it's because of the span..." Egg held his chin and thought: "When we were in the sea of ​​flowers on the other side, we should still be at the boundary of the human world, and that river... should be the human world. The passage to the underworld, and the Wall of Sighs is the separation between the two worlds. It is not a wall in the true sense, but a law, a law that cannot be broken and cannot be overcome."

"What else?" Harry looked at Egg eagerly.

The more Iger infers, the safer the two people's subsequent journey will be.

"And if nothing else happens... we must go back as soon as possible." Egger squinted at the watch on his wrist.

"What's wrong?" Harry asked.

"There were probably hundreds of souls on the boat just now..." Egger calculated: "But according to Alger, there are many ferrymen like him here. Based on the time we just felt, it can only take half a day at most. time, but the number of souls is indeed too much, even if all the people who died in the UK arrived here in half a day..."

"Maybe we can't even gather these hundreds of souls!" Harry reacted immediately: "You mean, the time here is different from the human world."

"I'm afraid that's not the case..." Egg nodded: "So we'd better move quickly."

"I know!" Harry nodded, quickly took out the compass from his arms, and pointed in a direction.

Before the two of them could take off, Harry next to Egg suddenly froze.

"What's wrong?" Egg turned around and asked with some confusion.

Harry stared blankly ahead. On the endless plain, two figures were standing there quietly.

They were a very young-looking couple. The man's face was about % similar to Harry's, and the woman's face seemed to be carved out of the same mold as Harry.

The man looked at Harry's figure in disbelief and took two steps towards the two of them: "Is it you, Harry?"

"What is going on? You are still so young, how come you are here?" James' face was full of disbelief.

"Dad, Mom?" Harry swallowed and suddenly became nervous: "Um...I'm not dead yet, I'm here to see you."

Iger pinched his chin in confusion: "Well, although I'm a little presumptuous to disturb your time together, I still want to know why the two of you appeared here so coincidentally..."

Lily looked at Harry lovingly, then smiled softly and turned to look at Iger: "As you just said, there is no concept of time here, and there is also no concept of space. Everyone is waiting here quietly. The person you are waiting for will disappear when you give up your obsession."

"So you don't need to bother looking for it. As long as you come here, you will meet it naturally." James chuckled and looked at Harry in front of him, and reached out to touch Harry's unruly hair: " It seems like only a moment has passed, and it seems like a long time has passed, and you have grown so big, yes, like me."
