Chapter 277 Breaking the Balance and Invalid Polyjuice Potion

Thinking of this, Ivan couldn't help but get excited, but he still needed to do a preview in advance to determine whether this was feasible.

"Heal the scars!" Ivan tentatively held the wand against Kelly's bloody back, and used a healing spell to heal her wounds, trying to restore what he did that day as much as possible.

The magic soon began to work, and the open wounds on Kelly's back healed quickly.

Sirius looked at Ivan's weird behavior with confusion. Treating a dead man? Why? Is there any special significance?

While healing the wound, Ivan slowly breathed a sigh of relief. Things were exactly as he expected.

But the next moment, Ivan's pupils shrank slightly and froze in place.

The female corpse in front of her suddenly returned to its original appearance, and the effect of the polyjuice potion disappeared.

"Impossible. Could it be that he drank too little potion?" Ivan frowned and stared blankly at Kelly who had returned to her original form.

Dead people don't drink potions, so Ivan could only let go of Kelly's body and turn his attention to the other three black-robed wizards.

Fortunately, he still has three test subjects

After giving the three people the polyjuice and conducting experiments in batches to record the data, Ivan discovered a problem.

After death, although the effects of Polyjuice Potion will remain to some extent, they will become very unstable, their duration will be greatly reduced, and they will be extremely susceptible to effects.

The healing spell he used undoubtedly broke this balance. Once he healed the wound, no matter how many doses of Polyjuice Potion the other party took in front of him, it would be lifted within a short period of time.

When the last black-robed wizard returned to his original body and fell to the ground, Ivan's face became worse and worse.

"What exactly is going on?"

Ivan was completely confused. If healing magic would affect the effect of polyjuice potion, then when he used healing magic to heal "Asia", why was the body not affected at all?

Or is it that when he went back to the past, he didn't use Polyjuice Potion? But used other methods?

Ivan looked at the four corpses on the ground and thought for a long time.

As early as when he was preparing to use the time turner to change the past, Ivan had considered various plans.

One of the more reliable ones is to use transfiguration or polyjuice potion to create a fake corpse.

After all, he saw Asia's body with his own eyes and took the body to Doggett to confirm the death, so this step was essential.

At first, Ivan tried to use transformation, but after personal experiment, he gave up this plan.

A level five transformation spell cannot perfectly replicate a wizard, let alone allow the replica to be injured and healed.

This was simply impossible to do, so Polyjuice Potion became the only possibility.

Ivan believed so firmly before, so he asked Dobby to buy a large number of books related to potions to confirm the possibility of implementing this plan.

Unexpectedly, there was a problem in the last step

Sirius saw Ivan's uncertain expression.

Although he didn't know why Ivan did this weird thing to these black-robed wizards, he could see that it might be verifying something, and the result might deviate from Ivan's imagination.

He was no longer silent, lest Ivan get into trouble, so he changed the topic.

"Hals, didn't you say you planned to go to the Bojinbok Magic Store to check the situation? When will we start taking action?"

"Of course now!" Ivan took a deep breath, came back to his senses, and said without hesitation.

He has at least confirmed that it was not Asia who died in the first place.

He still has some time to think about how to replace the body.

Ivan turned his head, preparing to let Dobby take him to Bojinbok's store with his Apparition, but noticed the tired look on Dobby's face and closed his mouth again.

Not long ago, Dobby frequently used Disapparation, and it was not easy to move the six of them to this temporary stronghold, and Ivan did not want to exploit this house elf too much.

So, Ivan ordered Dobby to guard the stronghold and dispose of the corpses, while he changed his body shape, gradually shrinking into a gray-white owl, fluttering his wings and flying out of the window.

Sirius shook his head, changed into his Animagus form and followed.

A gray-white owl flapped its wings in the night sky, and a pair of eagle eyes scanned the streets below.

Perhaps due to the attacks a few days ago, a large number of shops closed their doors and windows tightly and closed early, and there were not many wizards in the alleys.

The temporary base Ivan chose was on the west side of Knockturn Alley, some distance away from Bojinbok's store.

About fifteen minutes later, Ivan stopped near the Bojinbok store, thinking about how to get in.

The doors and windows of the store were locked. The only good thing was that there were no Auror seals or patrols here.

Ivan suspects that this may be related to the fact that Bock has not yet been confirmed to be dead.

Because of this, Ivan was very cautious and slowly flew in from the chimney above, and then restored his human form in the fireplace.

The inside looked empty and dark, and you could vaguely see a large number of shelves arranged neatly. It seemed no different from the last time I came here.

"Fluorescence!" Ivan waved his wand and released the light spell.

After getting closer, Ivan discovered that all the shelves were empty, and all the things originally placed on them were missing.

I don’t know if it was confiscated by the Ministry of Magic as an illegal item, or if it was transferred to another place by Burke.

And what surprised Ivan was that it didn't look like a battlefield where a fierce battle took place at all.

Is it because of the restoration spell?

Ivan thought in his mind.

After carefully checking the floor and the shelves and cabinets, Ivan did find some traces of battle. The restoration spell was not omnipotent, and the effects of some powerful spells were not easily eliminated.

Bang~

Just as Ivan was thinking, a crisp sound came from the side. Ivan waved his wand and pointed at the other party, and then realized that a black dog jumped in through the broken window.

"How's it going, Hals? Have you found any clues?" Sirius quickly changed back to his original appearance and asked.

"Not yet." Ivan shook his head helplessly.

"Anyway, let's search this place first." Ivan glanced around the black magic shop.

He had a hunch that maybe he would fight the opponent here when he came back, so it was still important to familiarize himself with the terrain in advance.
