[HP+ Fantastic Beasts] Fallen

The long airtight musty smell came with a strange stench. Abu clenched his wand and took a step back, looking vigilantly at the dark crack of the door.

For a long time, nothing happened.

The magic props used to detect danger on the body did not respond at all.

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Abu pushed open the crumbling wooden door.

The cabin was very dark, and the choking smell made Abu retch.

His eyes gradually adapted to the dark room, and Abu vaguely saw a "person" sitting on the sofa.

Startled, he raised his wand and shouted, "Who!?"

The other party didn't move at all.

"Fluorescent flashes."

Bright white light shot from the tip of the wand, and Abu froze in place as he watched the scene in front of him.

The one in the sofa is indeed a "person".

a dead man.

The body looked like it had been there for some time, starting to rot even in the depths of winter.

It turned out that the strange stench that I asked before entering the door was the smell of corpses.

Abu couldn't help casting a magic spell to purify the air, which suppressed the desire to vomit.

The butterflies flew around the small wooden house and told Abu that there were no other creatures here.

Only then did Abu light up the lamps in the wooden house. These warm lights made the gloomy atmosphere a little faded, but also enabled Abu to see the corpse more clearly.

The owner of the corpse was a skinny old man. The pajamas he was wearing looked extremely dirty. I don’t know if it was because of the decay. Suffered a lot of torture.

Abu's gaze stayed on an open cowhide notebook on the desk——

This notebook seems to invite Abu to read it.

Not taking it lightly, Abu threw a stack of detection spells to counter the curses.

What he didn't want to admit was that this notebook was much safer than he thought.

But he still didn't touch the notebook directly, but used magic to help turn the pages, and soon he got a general idea of ​​the owner of the wooden house.

He is a withdrawn and solitary hemp who has moved to this log cabin since the death of his relatives.

The old man would ramble and write something in the diary every day, until a few months ago, the diary was no longer used.

Abu calculated, the time was probably a month before he came out of the forest when he met Legris.

A month... about the same level of rot as it is now.

Could this old man be killed by Legris?

Legris...why come to kill a bastard who has nothing to do with him?

Abu didn't stop his magic, so the notebook still turned the pages on its own, and when it reached the last page, it closed itself——

The pattern on the back cover chilled Abu's heart.

A gloomy skeleton, made up of black mist, with faint green light emitting from the eye sockets, a large boa constrictor emerges from the skull's mouth, like a weird tongue.

The skeleton let out a strange laugh, "You... come..."

Then it dissipated into the air.

It's the Dark Mark.

Touching his arm subconsciously, Abu still remembered the burning pain in his soul.

Shock and fear exploded in his mind, why did the Dark Mark appear here?Why is there a Dark Mark now?Has Legris become a Death Eater already?

Questions one after another made him have a splitting headache, and the emotions suppressed by the sedative medicine suddenly lost control, and when he looked up and saw the rotting corpse, Abu finally couldn't take it anymore, and slammed the notebook to the ground, and then rushed out of the cabin.

The snow outside had already fallen heavily, rustling and falling on his shoulders, but it failed to dampen Abu's out-of-control emotions.

Before he took a few steps, before he felt something was wrong, he fainted in the snow.

------

When he woke up again, Abu found himself lying on the bed in the school hospital.

Surrounded by Slughorn, Warren and Anita.

"I..." Abu just wanted to speak, but found that his throat was hoarse and he couldn't make a sound. He took a sip of the water handed by Anita and felt better, "...What's the matter..."

Anita glanced at Slughorn, rolled up the quilt for Abu, and said gently, "Have you forgotten? We went to Hogsmeade, but Nancy got lost. You go to the forest to find her. Xi came back with Stuart a long time ago... and probably there are more exams and family affairs recently, you are too tired, and you fainted in the forest for some reason."

Abu's mind was still in a daze, but he could still tell that Anita made it up to deceive Slughorn, so he nodded along the way, "Yes...I'm too tired recently..."

Slughorn patted Abu on the shoulder with a smile, "It's good that nothing happened, the body is the most important thing... This is the tranquilizing potion I made, you should be able to use it."

"Thank you, Dean." Abu took the medicine bottle and put it on the bedside table.

"Then you should go to bed early, I won't bother you any more, if you have any questions, please come to me."

Although Slughorn realized that this statement was full of loopholes, Abu and the others obviously didn't want him to know the whole story. There were so many secrets in the big family.

Seeing Slughorn's figure disappearing at the door, Anita pulled up the curtain, cast an anti-eavesdropping spell, and asked Abu angrily, "What the hell are you doing? Do you know that you may be late when we come later?" Frozen to death in the forest? What about that strange wooden house and corpse?"

"Sorry……"

"Stop saying I'm sorry—do you still want to hide everything from us?!"

Anita's questioning made Abu's dizzy head turn more slowly, and the familiar anxiety surfaced again. Abu grabbed the sedative medicine on the bedside table, uncorked it and drank it in one gulp, and then he felt a little better.

Seeing him like this, Anita panicked in her heart, and she couldn't help but say, "Abu... what's wrong with you? Mrs. Maggie said that you just fell into a coma due to fatigue and fright, but how can you take so many sedatives?" Finished drinking? Warren also told me that you have been using a lot of calming potions and dreamless potions recently..."

"I'm also very strange. I know there's something wrong with my body, but no matter how I check it, it's just the same result. Slowly, I thought it was just too tired... until today I suddenly fainted..." Abu sipped his lips His pale lips and the blackness under his eyes made him look extremely haggard.

"You can tell us," Warren said, suppressing his anger, "you always say nothing...we are your friends, you can trust us."

Abu rubbed his forehead. The large dose of high-quality tranquilizing potion restored his ability to think. He said hesitantly, "Do you still remember the last time we had a picnic and met Legris in Hogsmeade?"

Anita also quarreled with Legris that day, and she quickly recalled, "That corpse... Legris did it?"

"I feel like it's her. The abnormality of my body...may also have something to do with her."

At this time, Abu remembered Legris' inexplicable sentence "I feel...your out-of-control anger", combined with the Dark Mark, it is likely that Legris was also reborn, using Cruciatus so jerky , either acting or it is not yet time for her rebirth.

If it was Riddle who made the Dark Mark, why didn't he leave the mark when he killed Myrtle, this is not the style of the Dark Lord.

And if Legris was reborn, then she would have an explanation for her madness and hatred that even Nancy would not let go.

Legris hated all who betrayed the Dark Lord.
