"There are more than 20,000 spells in the wizarding world, most of them can be learned, as long as you can find those precious knowledge."
In the living room of the Burrow, Mr. Arthur explained to Merlin who was applying ice on his head while rubbing his sore wrist:
"But among these spells, three spells are called ‘unforgivable spells’. They are all very destructive spells that can cause extremely terrible consequences.
"The Soul Spell, the Heart Spell, and the Life Spell. Even in the infamous black magic spell, these three spells are extremely vicious."
Mrs. Molly blamed her rash husband. The gentle lady, while carefully examining the wound on Merlin's arm, said to him and his two children:
"The bad thing about the Soul Charm is that it can be used to manipulate the human heart, and as long as the magic power is strong enough, there is almost no upper limit on the number of people being manipulated."
"The Life Mantra can bypass the block of the body and the magic shield and directly annihilate the soul. Once hit, it means that an existence will be killed in the most cruel way."
"As for the Diamond Heart Curse, it looks a little unrealistic. But any old wizard knows that the Diamond Heart Curse is the cruelest of the three unforgivable spells."
Mrs. Mo Li used healing magic to help Merlin heal the wound. She said softly:
"There is no upper limit to the pain that the Diamond Heart Curse attaches to the subject..."
"As long as you keep injecting magic power, the pain will continue to double and continue to double until the subject goes crazy or tragically dies in torture. In the Middle Ages, any wizard who used the heart-draining curse will be hunted down by the Aurors, At that time, the three major unforgivable curses were strictly prohibited."
"But when confronting the dangerous Grindelwald and his followers a few decades ago, some Aurors of the Ministry of Magic secretly used the heart-draining curse to force the black wizards to confess."
Mr. Arthur whispered:
"The bad atmosphere started at that time, but the Aurors are doing good things in a bad way after all, so no one blames them."
"However, once a bad thing has a leader, there will be more and more imitators. In recent years, there have been few occurrences of the soul-killing spell and the life-spelling spell, but the drill-heart spell has a tendency to be abused. To make matters worse, the Ministry of Magic has no way to manage this matter."
"After all, they are using it themselves."
Mrs. Mo Li sighed with concern, she said to Merlin:
"They're not upright, and the Aurors also need some deterrents to the criminals. But I still didn't expect that you would be heartbroken, Arthur, and use a heart drill on a young man who is a beginner of magic! You are are you crazy?"
"No, it doesn't matter, Mrs. Molly."
Merlin shook his head, and he said to Mrs. Mo Li:
"Mr. Arthur is also forced to be helpless. In fact, when I hit you with a smashing spell, I should close it. This is my fault. My aggression is too strong."
"You saw it too, dear Molly."
Mr. Arthur raised his swollen arm and torn shirt. He said to his wife:
"I was beaten badly by Merlin... I was confused for a while, but fortunately it didn't cause a big disaster."
"No!"
Ron, standing on the side with his ears listening to the story, screamed:
"Dad, did you lose? Merlin won you? Hell, he taught himself magic! It's only 3 years!"
"Snapped"
Mrs. Molly sullenly brushed Ron's head, she said:
"No swearing at home! Merlin's talent is very good, much better than you, you should really study the magic, Ron! You are also a member of the Weasley family! We are a pure blood wizard family!"
"Yeah, Ron."
Merlin put the ice on top of his head aside, he said to Ron:
"I can win your father just by coincidence. He is a powerful wizard. I can feel that he still has a lot of cards that are not used, probably to take care of my face."
Merlin smiled, his explanation made Ron and Hermione nod, and the two little wizards also felt that Mr. Arthur must be merciless.
But in fact, Arthur does have the wizard's cards, but Merlin... also has his own cards that are not used.
After dinner, Arthur invited Merlin to take a walk outside the Burrow. They walked along the river all the way to the fruit forest at the back of the Burrow. Under the setting sun, Arthur took a snuff bottle and sucked, and then said to Merlin:
"Your strength is amazing, Merlin. I can tell you now what I want you to help."
Arthur looked back at Merlin, he said:
"I need you to help me protect a child...just one week, and if possible, don't let him feel your presence."
"You mean, Ron?"
Merlin glanced at the kitchen and he said:
"Has anything happened?"
"No, not Ron. It's Harry."
Arthur lowered his voice and said:
"He is a friend of Ron and Hermione, a...how to say, a child with an important identity."
"Something happened inside the British Ministry of Magic recently. It is reported that some officials of the Ministry of Magic intend to imprison Harry and deprive him of his sorcerer status. The dean of Hogwarts College, His Excellency Dumbledore, is trying to clear the joints. It takes a week. During this time, we must protect Harry from anyone."
Arthur sighed helplessly:
"But we, the formal wizards, are registered in the Ministry of Magic. Once they are identified, they are likely to be involved in the family. Only you, Merlin, you are a sudden person, and you are not British. You are not in the UK, so there is no Registered with the Ministry of Magic. It’s perfect for you to protect him."
"As long as you are careful and don't clash with the of the Ministry of Magic, there is no problem."
"Harry? You mean, Harry Potter?"
Merlin rubbed his forehead and recalled the name, he said:
"Hermione repeatedly mentioned the name in her letter. She said that Mr. Porter is a very famous child in the wizarding world. What kind of dark king is said to be related to?"
"Yes, you can think of Harry as a character like Destiny's Son."
Arthur spread his hands and said briefly:
"His parents are powerful wizards who died to fight the Dark Lord and are true heroes."
"The Dark Lord has died, or has been missing for more than ten years. Although there is news that he is back. But we have been monitoring his forces. The Ministry of Magic is also in action. They will not act in a big way. Now Harry The dangers faced mainly come from within the Ministry of Magic, which is the department I serve. Unfortunately, after a long time, this system that should maintain order has also become degenerate."
"Harry, that poor child..."
Mr. Arthur clenched his fists, he said angrily:
"He was used by the incompetent Minister of Magic Fudge and his party leaders as a tool to fight for power and suppress Dumbledore."
"Wait, Mr. Arthur."
Merlin interrupted Arthur. He said:
"Are you saying that under the attention of the British Ministry of Magic, I want to protect a child who is regarded as a nail in the eyes of the Minister of Magic?"
"Yes, is there any problem?"
Arthur asked, Merlin shook his head, he looked at the sunset in the distance, he said:
"No, it's too much trouble. They have an absolute advantage. If the official wants to trouble Harry, it's too easy. We can't passively fight the fire everywhere, we have to change to a smarter way... I mean, we You have to avoid the trouble that the Ministry of Magic is looking for."
"Let Harry go to the United States and let him pretend to be a Muggle. My organization has enough power in the Muggle world to cover his tracks. In these 7 days, I will always be with him. There should be no problem. ."
Merlin looked at Arthur and he said:
"No matter how powerful the British Ministry of Magic is, it can't manage North American things, do you?"
"In this case..."
Arthur frowned and thought for a moment, he said:
"It's not impossible. The U.S. Magic Council really hates other forces pushing their hands into their territory, and I haven't heard of any Death Eaters in North America. The problem is that the Ministry of Magic won't let it so easily. Harry left Britain, and they will try their best to stop this action."
"This is even simpler."
Merlin took out his phone and dialed a number. He blinked at Mr. Arthur. He said:
"We don't need to hide at all, we just need public affairs."
He pressed the dial button, and after a while, he said to the person on the other side of the microphone:
"Hello, Gattler? This is Merlin... There is one thing, I need your help."
—
On July 5, 1995, in a villa in No. 4 Priscilla Road, in the Little Huijin district of London, the phone suddenly rang, which surprised Dali Dursley who was stealing food.
The 16-year-old has almost completely inherited his father's appearance, from the face to the belly, beyond the ordinary people's obesity. Even so, this somewhat rude child still likes to steal sweets from his parents, and is being After discovering it, push everything to his cousin Harry Potter.
Doughnut crumbs were still on his mouth. He ran to the phone and picked up the phone, and a very serious and indifferent voice came out:
"This is the London Police Department. Is Mr. Vernon Dursley here?"
"Dad! Daddy! Someone from the police station called!"
Dali was taken aback, he shouted a few times in his throat, and soon, a fat man with a big beard and a tired face, about 40-year-old man walked into the room.
This is Vernon Dursley, Harry Potter's uncle, and the business executive of the company.
A successful businessman in business, but not a good father and a good guardian.
"Hey, hello, officer. I'm Vernon. Is there anything?"
Vernon politely asked the police officer on the other end of the phone, and the phone from the London Police Department said very publicly:
"You have responded to 57 alarm letters about your nephew's paranormal incident that were thrown into the police station between 1991 and 1994. A senior agent from the European branch of the World Security Council has arrived in London specifically for The event of your nephew is coming."
"Mr. Vernon, we will inform you now. Please bring your wife, son and nephew to the London Police Station at 8 o'clock this afternoon. The officer will be waiting for you at the police station! Don't be late, thank you. "
After talking, the phone hung up.
Mr. Vernon holding the phone looked dull.
Indeed, in the past few years, he was overwhelmed by the supernatural events made by his nephew Harry. In fact, he didn't like Harry at first, and his wife didn't like this nephew, even though they had a real blood relationship.
Vernon tried to solve his nephew's problem through legal means for a while, but he never received a response. He was desperate, but today, the positive response from the police station made Vernon a little overjoyed for a while.
"Dali! Go and call your mother back, let Harry clean up and change a decent suit! We will go out in the afternoon! Ah, God is up, have you finally heard the prayer of your loyal believer?"
In the afternoon of the same day, in the office of the London Police Department, the well-dressed Dursleys were sitting in chairs waiting for the arrival of the chief.
Harry Potter, who was wearing a sports suit that didn't fit well, looked at the scene in front of him with a puzzled look.
He didn't know what crazy his uncle was, so he had to bring him to the police station.
"boom"
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the office door was pushed open.
Wearing a gray suit and frameless glasses, Merlin walked into the office with an indifferent look. He looked at the few people in front of him. The indifferent formal expression made the Dursleys a little afraid.
Merlin reached out and looked at his watch. He seemed very busy. He put the documents on his desk, turned a page, and asked in a very straightforward tone:
"Mr. Vernon, I’m a senior agent under the Security Council of the World Security Council. You can call me Merlin. I’ll deal with the supernatural incident that happened to your nephew Mr. Harry James Potter... which is the wave Mr. Te?"
Merlin looked at the four people in front of him. Under his questioning, Harry stood up subconsciously and said to Merlin:
"Hello, sir, this is Harry Potter."
Merlin looked at him expressionlessly. After a while, he shook his head and said to Vernon:
"Mr. Vernon, you say your nephew is magical, right?"
"Yes, of course, sir."
Before Vernon spoke, his wife, a woman with a sharp voice, said:
"He inherited the evil power of her mother, he will use magic, that is evil power, it will bring misfortune!"
"No! Madam!"
Merlin said coldly:
"There is no magic in this world, don't be misled. Everything can be answered in science, and my job is to crack these ancient superstitions!"
He looked at his watch again and said to everyone in front of him:
"I’m going to take Mr. Harry Potter away for a while, and my organization will conduct a comprehensive test for him. If we find that there is indeed an anomaly, then we will notify you again. Now I need two guardians. In this document Sign."
"Do you agree that I take him away?"
Merlin asked.
The Dursleys glanced at each other, then nodded desperately:
"Of course! Take him away, it is best not to send it back forever!"
After that, they quickly signed the document and then took their son Dali away from the police station.
In the office, all that was left was Harry Potter, who had been abandoned here, and Merlin, who looked calm.
Harry was just a 15-year-old young man. He looked at the mysterious chief in front of him with some fear. Merlin noticed Harry's gaze. He raised his head and walked to Harry's side, drawing something from his waist. He shook his eyes and smiled at him.
It was a wand, a red wand.
People in front...
Is a wizard!
"Don't be afraid, Mr. Potter."
Merlin patted the thin young man's shoulder in front of him. He leaned down and looked directly at his gaze. He said softly:
"Little Hermione asked me to say hello...I will be your temporary guardian for the next 7 days."
"Are you ready to travel to North America?"
