Hogwarts Survival Sim

"Super armor body protection!"

When no one else could react, it was Ethan who had quick eyesight and quick hands and immediately released the powerful armor spell.

Almost at the same time as he released the spell, a violent airflow spread from the center of the Ministry of Magic's striker to the surroundings, and then a series of deafening explosions came out.

Thanks to Ethan's iron armor spell, otherwise the wizards who were closest would probably not be able to react and would be blown to pieces.Even so, two of them were blown away.

"what's the situation?"

Kingsley yelled as he blocked the oncoming hurricane force with his arm.

"It's Peter Pettigrew," Ethan narrowed his eyes and explained to him, "He used a very powerful explosion spell."

"This is impossible! Before escorting him, we had already used magic to suppress magic on him. Even if he could use magic, it would never be so powerful!"

"I don't know about that." Ethan shrugged, "By the way, I vaguely saw him deformed, and he is probably gone without a trace now."

"..." Kingsley muttered something vaguely, but Ethan didn't hear it clearly. It probably wasn't a good thing.

Ethan had a rough guess about the magic Peter used.It was nothing more than the explosion spell that blew up an entire street 12 years ago. The reason why it was able to break through the suppression magic of the Ministry of Magic should be related to the nature of this magic.

The aftermath of the explosion lasted for a full minute before gradually dissipating. Although several wizards from the Ministry of Magic were slightly injured, fortunately their lives were not in danger.

But the luck of those werewolves who fell on the ground was not so good. Ethan's armor spell did not deliberately protect them, so some unlucky guys had their bodies covered in blood and were miserable.

Ethan and Kingsley walked to the center of the explosion together. Compared to the tragedy around them, it was very peaceful there.Peter Pettigrew had indeed disappeared, and the only thing left was a broken finger.

Seeing this finger, Ethan further confirmed his suspicion.

"Do you have any ideas, Mr. Hines?" Seeing the thoughtful expression on Ethan's face, Kingsley couldn't help but ask.

"It should be a kind of sacrificial magic." Ethan pointed to the severed finger on the ground. "Peter Pettigrew sacrificed his finger to make the explosive spell more powerful and destructive."

"I don't understand," Kingsley still frowned, "No matter what kind of magic it is, Peter shouldn't be able to successfully release it. With just that little magic power, can he really do this? To what extent?”

"This shows that not all magic needs to use its own magic to release him." Ethan pursed his lips and said in his heart, "Just like ritual magic, they should rely on the magic of the world, so they can have Such a powerful effect.”

Sacrificial magic, ritual magic... these should all fall into the category of ancient magic.Therefore, one of the biggest differences between modern magic and ancient magic lies in the source of magic power when magic is released.

Back then, William had just awakened and was able to cast powerful magic, which is almost impossible now.But if it is ancient magic, there can be a reasonable explanation.

So what exactly led to the change between ancient magic and modern magic?

Ethan couldn't help but think about this question, why on earth such powerful ancient magic had to be eliminated by wizards, or even let it disappear into history.And how does all this relate to the wand?

Regarding these questions, even William could not give himself answers.Ethan shook his head irritably, feeling like a mess in his mind, and finally decided to put them aside for now.

Whether we can solve them or not, it's better to just let it happen.

So Ethan spoke to Kingsley again: "Anyway, my mission has been completed. Now I have to go back and report to Principal Dumbledore, so I will take one step first. You should be more careful."

"Well, no problem. Thank you for your hard work this time, Mr. Hines." Kingsley adjusted his expression and said to Ethan with a smile, "Without you, we really don't know how many casualties we would have suffered. Next time I will definitely buy you two drinks when we meet."

"Okay," Ethan nodded to him, "definitely next time."

"Please give my regards to Headmaster Dumbledore."

"Ok."

After finally saying hello to the tall bald Mr. Auror, Ethan spun on the spot and apparated back to Hogsmeade.At this time, he was standing in front of the Three Broomsticks Bar. Coincidentally, as soon as he revealed himself, he saw two familiar figures walking into the bar.

"Sirius! Professor Lupin!" he shouted, waving his hands to the two people in front of him.

Sirius and Lupine turned around, and then saw a strange tall man waving to them.

"Excuse me?"

Only then did Ethan realize that he was now in the state of Polyjuice Potion's transformation.

"It's me, Ethan." He whispered, "I just came back from the dock, let's go in first and talk."

The two raised their eyebrows before they understood what was going on, and then entered the bar together.

After ordering a few glasses of butterbeer and firewhiskey, Ethan began to tell them what happened just now.

"That is to say, all the Black Moon Society people have been captured." Lu Ping said.

"But Peter Pettigrew ran away?" Sirius felt his anger rising immediately. If Ethan hadn't reminded him in advance, the entire bar would have known the news.

"Calm down, Sirius." Lupine comforted him, "We can catch him the first time, and naturally we can catch him the second time."

"It's too difficult, Remus." Sirius drank down a glass of whiskey in one breath, "That cowardly bastard is best at running away and hiding."

After Sirius calmed down completely, Ethan continued to ask:

"So how is the situation here? Have you found the Black Moon Society's stronghold?"

"Found it!" Speaking of this, Sirius' expression was full of pride, "I just used the method Harry said. Yesterday, Lupine found most of the corpses and made a map with the locations marked. . Finally we determined a range that was not too big and found it easily.”

"But there are not many people in the stronghold, and there are not even werewolves who can transform. They should all go to your side." Lu Ping seemed much calmer, "So we didn't do anything. It's mainly due to your efforts. Ethan.”

"It's your credit, it's my credit." Sirius raised his wine glass impatiently, "I don't care about this at all, right, Ethan?"

"That's right." Ethan raised his butterbeer and touched it to him, "Instead of talking about this, why not toast to our victory in tonight's operation!"
