Everyday Players at Hogwarts

Chapter 509 The wedge carved into the human body

In the empty closed ward, only a long-haired woman named Agnes barked from time to time on the bed on one side.

Ryan didn't speak, just smiled at Kate.

The next second, a gray dimensional wall emerged from the air and passed through Ryan and Kate's bodies.

This is a narrow but luxurious path.

The path is winding and winding, but the ground is well-designed and paved with bricks and stones carved with all kinds of powerful and mysterious creatures.

Even though it was already afternoon, there was still mist like snow on both sides.

Suddenly, the sea of ​​fog rolled.

Two figures, one tall and one short, emerged from the fog.

"You're back? Is there anything you can't say there?" The short figure waved his hand dissatisfied.

The mist above the head dispersed with the waving of the short hand, revealing a white, round face like a porcelain doll.

It's Kate.

"Let's go," Ryan took Kate's short hand and stepped out of the fog, "I said as I walked. Let me tell you why you didn't tell Neville first.

Now he is with Harry Potter and others, as well as Krum from Durmstrang.

Listen to Krum pouring out his bitterness.

I don't think it's the right time.

And wouldn’t this belated birthday gift be better as a surprise?

When he returned to the mansion with only the two of them through the Floo network, he happened to meet his parents who had recovered as before.

What a happy and wonderful scene. "

At this point, Ryan stopped.

The other free hand caressed the drooping branches of the oak tree by the roadside, as if caressing the face of an invisible person.

"Being a stranger in a foreign land—" A strange language that Kate didn't understand came out as Ryan sighed.

That's why he didn't teach Kate Chinese.

There were some words, some sighs, some brief moments of vulnerability that he didn't want to share with anyone.

"What are you talking about?

Little Guitou, are you okay? "Kate quickly leaned forward and touched Ryan's face with concern.

Ryan shook his head and broke away from Kate's hand, "Nothing?

Let’s talk about the Broderick Bird murder case.

The flowing water has no shape, the drifting wind cannot find a trace, and the reasoning of any case depends on the heart.

And in the few seconds I walked to Mr. and Mrs. Longbottom’s bedside, I ‘saw’ everything.

All of this starts from the most primitive desire of mankind - the desire for immortality. "

"Eternal life? You mean?"

"Yes, Broderick Bode's research touches on this.

He worked in the Department of Mysteries' Department of Brains, and they weren't studying the vulgar proteins in the brain.

Instead, focus on those pulse frequency waves that flicker between gray matter and white matter—thoughts.

The squirming brains in the box in the brain hall all have colorful tentacles, and the wounds left after being entangled by them can only be made by using Dr. Unfavorable's forgetting ointment to make the body forget.

And this is just their most obvious achievement.

The best among them even involve the transfer of soul and personality.

And Broderick Bode is based in this area.

But he didn't realize how far his magic could go.

But his colleague, the old wizard with the trumpet-shaped hearing aid I'm talking about, Melvin Jackson.

He knew what it could do. "

"Inject your thoughts into others, thereby continuing your personality?"

"It's close.

However, it cannot be described by injection, which is not accurate.

It's transformation.

Make the person who is cursed think that he is the caster of the spell.

Bode's colleagues have the same idea as you.

The field he studies is better at stealing memories, not crude reading like Legilimency, but as invisible as the spring breeze.

He stole Bode's research and improved it.

He can condense his personality and all his memories into wedges carved into the human body.

After planting it, it needs to be maintained and adjusted from time to time.

This time takes one year.

And the host itself must not be able to do Occlumency.

After the wedge spreads, the host's thinking and personality will become like the owner of the wedge. "

"Who is the host?

Is Bode's murder also related to this? "

“Bode’s murder was inevitable.

Jackson obviously didn't want people to find him possessing someone else's body.

As for the host, you may be familiar with his last name - Fudge.

His name is Rufus Fudge.

Nephew of Cornelius Fudge.

Born in 1981, now 12 years old, a freshman at Hogwarts. "

"Shouldn't he be in second grade now?"

"He turned 11 in December, and Hogwarts starts in September, so he is enrolling this year.

If he had enrolled last year, I would have found out.

Jackson targeted him, apparently because he was the nephew of the Minister of Magic.

But you and I both know that just last year, Fudge stepped down. "

"Last year?" Kate raised her eyebrows, "Then he has become that old ghost Jackson?"

"Not yet, but it's coming soon." Ryan snapped his fingers, and the sound of glass being shattered flashed by, "Okay, it's no problem now."

Ryan blinked.

There was one more thing he didn't say.

Like Bode, Rufus Fudge was killed two years earlier.

Kate has never read the Harry Potter novels, so she doesn't understand the concepts.

And the early deaths of these two people are indeed related to the adjustment of the Ministry of Magic.

Because although Jackson is old and even wears a trumpet-shaped hearing aid all day, he is actually very healthy.

He disguised himself so that he could die reasonably after diverting his thoughts.

However, the appearance of Voldemort and the changes in the Ministry of Magic made him feel a sense of crisis, so he set his sights on Rufus Fudge.

A centrist, young, pure-blooded, and with a prominent family background.

The rumors of Voldemort's appearance in the original world line spread to the Ministry of Magic two years later.

Harry Potter announced that Voldemort was resurrected, and Fudge and Dumbledore broke up.

So according to the original world line, Jackson attacked Rufus Fudge after Harry's fourth grade.

And attacked poor Bode, giving Bode a fatal gift on Christmas in Harry's fifth grade.

"Did you solve it?

That wedge?" Kate didn't know what Ryan was thinking just now. Seeing Ryan's snap of fingers and the unusual voice, combined with his words, she guessed so.

"Yeah.

But that's not all.

The Ministry of Magic is really moving fast and decisively now.

We just got back here, and in less than ten minutes, the Aurors have already arrived at the door of Melvin Jackson's house.

But he confessed his guilt readily." Ryan said, trying to suppress his smile.

"Wait, does that Jackson no longer need to maintain his wedge?

He thought he had everything settled and just had to wait for death?"

"That's right, Kate.

But now that Azkaban is gone, he can only go to the new prison 'The Cage' to be a cellmate with Cornelius Fudge, Umbridge and Gilderoy Lockhart." Ryan shrugged.
