A True Story of a Wizard's Life

A busy life always goes by very fast. Before deciding to study in Egypt, Gabriel had a lot of things to do. No matter how busy she was, she never forgot the suppressed basilisk.

"I'm actually sorry, it's an idiot." Gabriel initially wanted to find the basilisk because he thought he might be able to find clues related to the Hogwarts treasure.Although Snape has silently stated many times that he has never heard of the Hogwarts treasure, people who want to get rich always refuse to listen to other people's advice.

Until Gabriel forcibly established a spiritual connection with the basilisk, she got regrettable news from the brain of this small-brained basilisk, which was hatched by Slytherin after the establishment of Hogwarts. Come out, to be precise it has never met Slytherin himself.

The basilisk hatches from the egg hatched by the toad, which has sporadic consciousness as an egg, knowing that a Parselmouth put it in the basement, but eats the toad that hatched it after it was born , but never saw that Parseltongue again.

The basilisk is roaming around in the basement. It once tried to escape from here to hunt outside, but its movement will be restricted. Some mice entered the basement through some pipes, but it could not get out. When it crawled to a certain position There will be a barrier.

Gabriel guessed it was a barrier set up by Slytherin on purpose.

In fact, in "Prohibition of Domesticating Animals for Experiments", it has long been stated that raising basilisks is prohibited, but there are very few black wizards who cross the border, because basilisks only obey Parseltongue in most cases, if they don't Snake language, if you fail to raise the basilisk, you will lose yourself.

Slytherin wanted to raise the basilisk secretly, so he found the basement of Hogwarts, but he also had to be responsible to the students, so he set a restriction that the basilisk could only leave the basement by opening the passage with Parseltongue from the outside.So it seems that the guess that Slytherin didn't run away from school, but that he left too hastily and didn't come back to deal with the basilisk is eight or nine.

Being able to pick up a basilisk for nothing is already a windfall, but it still makes people feel unwilling to learn some Hogwarts secrets from the brain of a basilisk that has lived for a long time.

Dumbledore gave an unreliable suggestion.After Gabriel and Snape firmly wanted to go to Egypt, Dumbledore also helped to check some information. Compared with Hogwarts, where there was no sign of the treasure, the real treasure hunt was actually digging the Pharaoh The mausoleum is better.

"Although, we all know that there is a curse in the pyramid, but I think this is also a challenge. I heard that the Egyptian magic world has never prohibited wizards from hunting treasures. As long as they have a life to come out, the things they bring out are theirs. This point can be confirmed to the authorities after you go to Egypt, and if it is true, you may choose a place with a low risk factor to try.”

"Where did you hear the news? I have never heard of it. The Egyptian Ministry of Magic is so generous?" Gabriel had to wonder the motives of the Egyptian Ministry of Magic. A person who has had a chance to make a fortune.If a certain family cut off the inheritance and did not leave behind as soon as possible, the Ministry of Magic would come to the door to divide up the property.It is really rare that the Egyptian Ministry of Magic would generously open up the treasure hunting rights of the pyramids to the outside world.

Such gossip, of course, comes from Grindelwald, and Durmstrang obviously has more strange news than Hogwarts. "I heard from Getler that this is a customary rule in Egypt. I heard that the reason for this is very simple, because Egyptian wizards cannot master the cuneiform characters in the pyramids."

Ancient Egypt and today's Egypt are two different things. If the Muggles in Egypt have completely forgotten about Ancient Egypt, there are still some reservations in the wizarding world. After all, the magic inheritance of Egypt comes from the Pharaoh and the High Priest.

However, the ancient Egyptian language itself is a very complicated system. From its creation to its annihilation and loss, it has gone through five stages, from the earliest ancient Egyptian language containing pyramid writing, to middle Egyptian language, post Egyptian language, secular language, and The former Coptic was eventually replaced by Arabic.

There are very few Egyptian Muggles who speak Coptic today, and Egyptian wizards mainly speak this language.Don't look at them as if they still speak Egyptian, but they don't have much confidence in the secrets of the pyramid, because there was a fault in the Egyptian magic world. When the pharaoh system died out in BC, a large number of ancient Egyptian magic was also lost.

Although it is possible to guess what these cuneiform characters generally say, but when it comes to their magical meaning, how to arrange and combine them has become a big problem.

The Egyptian Ministry of Magic doesn’t mind wizards going to the pyramids to hunt for treasures. It’s precisely because they know that they go more often than they come back. Anyway, they can’t do anything to those who can really bring out useful things. It’s better to say that everyone goes to have fun. As long as you are not afraid to play with your life.

Dumbledore didn't want Gabriel to risk his life, but Gabriel would know the news sooner or later. "Ninety percent of this news is true. If you really want to go, you must take measures to save your life."

Gabriel thanked Dumbledore for the preliminary investigation. She will carefully consider the living arrangements in Egypt, and she always feels that she will not be able to do much in a year.

Snape knew nothing about the dialogue between the two Gryffindors, and he only had one wish for this trip to Egypt, which was to read more books and do less earth-shattering events.

Before he left the UK, in addition to brewing potions, he also needed to complete the handover work at the soon-to-be-opened Bokin & Bork store, such as the configuration and transportation of some rare potions, and how to deliver the potions after he went to Egypt. Come from England.

Herbert Burke brought Snape unexpected news. "The Gaunt family really went bankrupt. They moved out of the Blackpool Valley, and the manor there was closed. Recently, Marvolo Gaunt is auctioning some alchemy items left by his ancestors. In fact, everyone knows that he has nothing to sell. Something. Over the years, the Gaunt family has lost all their wealth one after another. This time, even the magic power to maintain the villa is gone. They really just brought some gold Galleons to settle in the place where Muggles live.

None of this has anything to do with us, but the news about Marvolo Gaunt auctioning alchemy items is true, and the things should be true. He seems to be looking for potions, and his newborn son, Morfin Gaunt, is always sick.We all know that almost everyone in the Gunter family is sick, but Marvolo Gunter is still willing to spend money on his son, as if looking for an excellent magic power stabilizer. "

Snape understood that Bock wanted him to make a fortune from Gaunt before he left, and this was not something that could not be discussed.If the other party is willing to use the big ring of the soul-returning stone as a reward, he is willing to meet this strange-tempered guest.
