Chapter 86 85. Eye Disease Curse
"How did you do it!"
In front of John's levitation spell, the experienced Aberforth, like Neville who was only in the first grade, asked this question in an incredible way.
Jon told the truth.
"I studied the changes of the spell myself, but this way of casting was taught by my teacher."
Hearing him say this, Aberforth knew better and did not ask any more questions. Even though the mainstream of the magic world is now open teaching in the academy, there are still some wizards who have unique inheritance of the magic they invented and do not announce it to the public.
"Okay, I was wrong just now. There is nothing wrong with you focusing on the levitation spell in your first grade. This spell will be of great help to you and what we are going to do next."
Although he said so, the expression on Aberforth's face was still solemn.
"Having the ability to fly can make you more agile, which can help you better protect the rooster, but how to keep the basilisk is also a problem that needs to be solved. There are actually quite a few spells that can do this, and I can teach you, but it's less than two months before Christmas, and how much you can learn during this period and to what extent it depends on you."
Jon stared at Aberforth, and he suddenly had an idea and blinked his eyes and said.
"Why can't we go to Hogwarts Castle together at that time? Just take that secret passage, put on this invisibility cloak, with the rooster and you, you can definitely kill the basilisk easily, and then find what Professor Dumbledore wants in the principal's office!"
Aberforth did not hesitate at all and rejected Jon's proposal.
"Albus should have told you that he had previously arranged for people in the Order of the Phoenix to disguise themselves as students and try to sneak into the castle, but they were eventually discovered."
His words brought back Jon's memories. When Dumbledore sent him to Diagon Alley, he did tell him that before him, there was a man named "Dedalus Digger" who had also done this spy work, but he was discovered by an age detection spell before he entered Hogwarts Castle and was unfortunately arrested and sent to Azkaban.
"The Dark Lord has done a very good job of protecting the castle. There are age detection spells everywhere in the castle. Except for the faculty and staff, any adult wizard who enters the castle will be discovered immediately." Aberforth said in a deep voice, "This is the best protective measure. As long as adult wizards are excluded, the Dark Lord believes that even if Albus arranges for underage children to sneak into the school, it will not cause any big waves. Moreover, he regards protecting the few remaining students in the carriage as the only meaning of his survival, so he will not do such a thing."
Jon smacked his lips. Originally, according to his idea, as long as Aberforth could be brought in, things would be much simpler, but now it seems that this method is not feasible.
"Then start learning spells from today." Jon's voice was very calm, as if he didn't feel much urgency about the short time left. "Today is November 1st, and the Christmas dinner will be held on December 25th. 55 days is enough."
Aberforth's stubbled face showed a smile.
"I like your confidence, so let's not waste time, let's start now."
Just when he pulled out his wand and looked at the wand in Jon's hand at this time, he suddenly froze.
Jon saw his strange reaction and asked in confusion.
"Any questions?"
Aberforth did not answer him, but slowly stretched out his hand and looked at Jon's wand with complicated eyes.
"Can you show it to me?"
Jon did not refuse, and directly handed the chestnut wand to Aberforth.
Aberforth seemed to be very familiar with this wand. He stroked the old and worn wand with his rough hands, and there was a complex emotion in his eyes that Jon could not read.
"When I was young, I tried to steal it from Albus countless times and break it, but I failed. He protected it very well and did not allow anyone to touch it. I didn't expect it to fall into your hands now. Did Albus give it to you?"
When Jon just got the wand, he had already discovered that Dumbledore's eyes were not right when he looked at it. Now it was obvious that Aberforth also knew the owner of this wand.
"When I was choosing a wand, I thought this wand was very suitable for me, so I got it, and Professor Dumbledore also agreed to give it to me." He said truthfully.
Aberforth looked at Jon again, and this time he looked him up and down carefully, as if he wanted to see through Jon's skin to study whether he was another person.
"I didn't expect him to actually give this wand away. I thought he would treasure it for life."
Hearing Aberforth's sigh, Jon asked in confusion.
"So who was the original owner of this wand?"
"I don't want to mention this name, but no matter who used it before, it's yours now." Aberforth returned the wand to Jon's hand, "Talking about this is of no help to the current situation. Let's continue the topic just now."
He really didn't seem to want to say anything more about the origin of the wand, and he said that he wanted to steal it from Dumbledore and break it many times. It was obvious that he didn't get along with the original owner of the wand.
Jon was indeed a little curious about the original owner of the wand in his hand, and Aberforth's reaction also made him guess a little, but as he said, it would not help to worry about this matter now. No matter what the identity of the person who used this wand before him was, there was nothing special about the wand itself.
"There are actually many spells that can affect the basilisk. The most powerful part of this creature is its eyes, so the eye disease spell has always been the nemesis of the basilisk."
"Can this spell directly destroy the eyes of the basilisk?"
"The eyes of the basilisk have extremely powerful magic. It will not be destroyed by such a simple spell, but you can use it to have some effect on the eyes of the basilisk. This will make it subconsciously close its eyes, so that you will not be killed directly when you accidentally look at it. Of course, if you are lucky enough and the spell hits any of its eyeballs directly, it can also cause great damage to that eye and make it temporarily blind."
