The right way to attack Moriarty

"Is the broom ready for flying lessons?" Newt asked him.

"No," Jim turned to look at him, inexplicably, "Freshmen are not allowed to bring broomsticks, you forgot?"

"Oh, you don't bring a broomstick, what about flying lessons?" Newt asked him blankly.

"There are broomsticks for flying lessons in the school. It's not my turn to worry about it." Jim shrugged and didn't care.

"That's not what I'm talking about," Newt really couldn't make any unnecessary expressions. The more he wanted to talk to Jim, the more he didn't cooperate. Newt realized this, so his tone became nasty. , I lost my patience. "Your magic power is not enough for you to control the broomstick that the school is equipped with."

"I know," Jim looked at Newt boredly, smiled suddenly, stood up straight, and leaned close to Newt, Jim stood on tiptoe, his long eyelashes brushed Newt's cheeks, and smiled softly , "Why don't you make one for me?"

"I don't have that ability." Newt let Jim approach without changing his expression. When Jim was about to kiss his side, Newt just stood there, motionless, and let Jim move.When Jim got close to Newt, he suddenly stopped his movements, stared at Newt for a while, then lowered his head and chuckled.

Newt held Jim's hand, "Let's go, there is still some basilisk venom left for you to make your wand. Let's go to Knockturn Alley to try our luck, maybe there are wizards who are short of money willing to do this business .”

Jim shrugged indifferently. He didn't worry about his future study career at all, and he didn't worry about the flying lessons at all. He graciously let Newt lead him, and followed Newt. Thinking of something, he gave a wicked smile.

Jim was very peaceful along the way, and occasionally met a few little wizards.The gazes of the little wizards were very explicit, they did not hide their astonishment, and even whispered to the people around them.Jim didn't care, just put away the usual smile on his face, and let Newt hold hands, step by step into this long-lost magical world.

Newt didn't expect this situation, and was a little embarrassed for a while.He was just thinking about the problem Ravenclaw had posed - solving the problem of Jim's class.These days, Newt's energy has been focused on the broomstick, and he has never thought about the scene in front of him.

"Sorry," Newt apologized to Jim as he quickened his pace, "I forgot that people in wizarding towns like to hang out in Diagon Alley."

"It's okay." Jim replied indifferently, "I'm used to it."

Newt pursed his lips. The maturity that Jim is showing now can only respond indifferently after suffering a lot of stings.

There are many idle wizards in Knockturn Alley, but there are only a few who are really skilled. Newt took Jim around for a long time before he found a dark wizard who was willing to take over this matter.

"I can help you make this kind of broomstick." The black wizard tightened his hood, trying to completely cover his appearance, with a hoarse voice, perhaps taking some special potion, "However, my reward is not gold Garen," the black wizard raised his head, no, to be precise, he raised his hood to cover half of his face, Jim's gaze flicked across the black wizard's face, but he found nothing.

The dark wizard's hood was facing Newt directly, and his voice was hoarse, stating his conditions: "I want a bottle of basilisk venom."

"Sorry, sir," Newt smiled, a bottle of basilisk venom, sorry, he wasn't going to accept that condition.Newt took the half bottle of basilisk venom out of the Dark Wizard's hand, smiling, "Sir, this is the last bottle of basilisk venom in the world, you won't get more, Perhaps, we can consider other conditions?"

The black wizard laughed "ho ho": "The last bottle of basilisk venom in this world? Do you think I will believe you? Boy."

"Whatever you want, sir," Newt put the basilisk's venom back into his wizard robe, smiling, "The basilisk's venom has great uses, no matter what it is, its effect are prominent and conspicuous. More importantly, the basilisk's venom has never been irreplaceable, in any way, has it?"

Newt clenched the word "in any way", as if implying something to the dark wizard.The black wizard laughed "ho ho ho" with a hoarse voice and a strange smile.

Jim frowned and looked at the dark wizard, trying to see the expression of the dark wizard clearly, but found that it was impossible to do this.The hood that the black wizard pulled down tightly covered his appearance and completely blocked Jim's sight.Apart from roughly estimating the high cost of the hood, Jim didn't get any other useful information.

The black wizard laughed "hoho" again, this time the atmosphere was much more relaxed than before, "It seems that you guessed what I'm going to do."

Newt shook his head with a smile, and took out another bottle of liquid from his pocket. Different from the light green color of venom, this time the liquid was pure white and very viscous.

"The venom of the basilisk does have great medicinal value, especially in paralyzing nerves and relieving pain. Logically, I shouldn't prevent you from treating your long-term nervous headaches, but you know, compared to snakes Strange venom, if you want to cure your old diseases, I recommend you to use the tears of the giant spider, which is more helpful in relieving the nerve spasm caused by long-term cruciate bone."

"Of course, the tears of the acromantula are also very precious. The price on the black market even far exceeds the venom of the same acromantula." Newt smiled.

The black wizard hesitated.Compared to the tears of the giant eight-eyed spider, he really wanted the venom of the basilisk more.Because he was not purely for the treatment of nerve spasms, on the contrary, because he had no way to get the basilisk's venom, he needed to suffer Cruciatus.So many times that it caused permanent nerve spasms.

Newt stood aside quietly, neither urging the dark wizard to make a decision nor speaking.

"Are you from the Austro-Hungarian Empire?" Jim asked suddenly.

The black wizard froze for a moment, then stopped obviously. This kind of stiffness confirmed Jim's guess.

Jim laughed. He gently pulled Lanuit's wizard robe and softened his voice. He was three-part cute and two-part sly. He raised his head, revealing a pair of cute little canine teeth and a pair of beautiful dimples. He looked at Newt without blinking, and said in a sweet voice, "Give him the basilisk's venom."

Newt stared at Jim right and wrong. After a while, Newt stopped looking at Jim, nodded and said, "Okay."

"In exchange, I would like to watch your whole process of making the broomstick, is that okay?" Newt turned his head to the dark wizard and said with a dull expression.

The method of making the broomstick should, logically, not be passed on to the outside world.But he needed the light green liquid in the boy's hand more than the skill of the broomstick. He didn't hesitate, and the black wizard agreed very simply. "sure."

Jim laughed, rare without any affectation.

Newt withdrew his gaze from Jim and shook his head helplessly.I thought, he probably made a bad decision.

Forget it, hope Jim doesn't let him down.

The black wizard's movements are fast, and the speed of his hands is also fast.But in order for Newt to see clearly, he deliberately made every movement very clearly.The whole process was as smooth as flowing water. Newt, relying on the experience of working in Stuart's wand shop, was very sure that during the entire production process, the dark wizard did not hide any private goods, and all materials were used. above, including the remaining vial of pale green liquid.

"Venom of the Basilisk," Newt took the broomstick from the black wizard, looked it up and down, and then took out a bottle of the same light green liquid from the wizard's robe as before. Made an exchange.

The black wizard opened the cap of the bottle, fanned it lightly, took a sniff, and was very satisfied.

After a while, Jim and Newt came out of Knockturn Alley.

"How do you know that the dark wizard suffers from chronic nerve pain because of Cruciatus?" Jim asked curiously.

"The black magic damage on him is too heavy," Newt explained to him with a look at him, "layers of coverage, overlapping, deepening - it proves that he is often damaged by the same black magic. Every black magic has its own way of expression, the black magic imprint on his body is too deep, it can't be covered, it has to be superimposed for at least ten years."

"Can black magic leave marks on people?" Jim murmured and repeated, "Would it be on me too?"

"Huh?" Newt was stunned for a moment, and corrected him, "Dark magic doesn't leave marks on the body, it leaves marks on the soul."

If it weren't for the fact that he had studied the Dark Arts Contract and books on the Dark Arts for a whole year, and the students at Hogwarts were too enthusiastic, Newt wouldn't have learned so many things now.

It is no exaggeration to say that Newt has almost finished reading most of the family's collection of dark arts, of course, except for the family's top-secret books. Much higher.

"The imprint on the soul?" Jim repeated. "Isn't that irreversible?"

"Well," Newt heard Jim's voice getting smaller and smaller, and suddenly noticed that Jim's face was not very good. After thinking about it, Newt felt that Jim seemed to be frightened, so Newt comforted him, "You Unlike them, they are black magic damage, you are black magic sacrifice. Therefore, their damage will remain in the soul, and your magic power is exhausted, don't be afraid, I can solve it."

"Solve it?" Jim laughed at himself, "The magic power from the soul is exhausted, how do you plan to solve it?"

"Magic power transfer or magic power injection." Newt rarely cared about Jim's attitude. He explained the solution to Jim in a very good-tempered manner. Although he said it differently, there was always a solution.

"It's the same as not saying it. Magic power injection, huh, the wizarding world has existed for so many years, I have never heard of a wizard who is willing to give half of his magic power to others," Jim sneered, "As for magic power transfer, magic power transfer There's only one way, I'm underage, we can't do it, oh, of course, you probably don't want to do it with me either—"

Newt put his hand on Jim's chin and kissed it hard.

Lips and tongues swirled and made fierce noises, and when Jim reacted, he gently opened his lips and made a silent invitation, but Newt let him go.

"It's not magic power transfer, it's magic power injection." Newt rubbed Jim's hair. "My next research topic is whether the obscurant's excess magic power can be injected into the Squib."

Jim couldn't say whether he was disappointed or glad for a moment, but his heart was messed up, and he also felt some inexplicable sadness...

The transfer of magic power can only be carried out through close contact with wizards, which is common sense in the wizarding world.

Jim was a little disappointed to find that Newt did not choose to transfer magic power.So Jim lost a reason to be intimate with Newt, and an opportunity to be intimate with Newt.

However, when he heard Newt say "magic infusion", Jim's heart still tightened.

very worried.

very worried.

Jim was worried that Newt was going to blurt out something like "Infuse me with my magic" or something like that - Hufflepuffs do that a lot, they always seem noble and tall and kind, but Jim Didn't want Newt to do that.No matter how you look at it, Jim doesn't want Newt to do that.

Compared to Newt pouring all his magic into Jim, Jim would rather be a Squib and a Muggle all his life.

Immediately after Newt's explanation, Jim's heartstrings were gripped again.

Jim let out a long sigh of relief.

Newt had no intention of pouring all of his magic into himself!

Newt didn't do that rashly!

That wasn't in Newt's plan!

Simply wonderful!

Jim's heart that had been hanging all this time finally let go.

After jumping for joy, Jim suddenly realized something.

It turned out that Newt hadn't planned to pour all of his magic into himself.

No such plan.

Jim suddenly felt depressed.

Mood ups and downs, like an ups and downs function line, from peak to trough, only a tiny parameter changes.

Jim was a little irritable.

He suddenly realized that he had a different emotion towards Newt, which was not the "fun toy" or "fun person" like before.

Newt's prefix has become "more important than myself".
