The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

v3 Chapter 40: Meet Menis again (2 in 1)

After logging into the dreamland, Tom found Hermione with his notebook. The two of them studied the tasks issued by the guild together. For Hermione, it was unacceptable to miss the one-month guarantee. If she could complete a task while visiting Menis, why not do it?

Tom flipped through the list of tasks. During this period of time, the tasks on the list had increased a lot and changed a lot. New quests were added and old ones were either completed or had their rating changed. For example, the [Case of Unidentified Disappearance of Transcontinental Railway Personnel] he saw before was downgraded to a C-level task.

Tom glanced at the mission description, and suddenly felt a little moved.

[The unidentified disappearance of the transcontinental railway personnel

Task rating: Grade C is recommended for students above grade five in magic schools

Mission brief introduction: The K3 train of the Trans-Siberian Railway that connects Asia and Europe has been missing continuously. More than 30 people are missing, including two adult Russian wizards. According to the investigation of the B-level personnel of the guild (currently the Auror of the Swiss Ministry of Magic), it was the work of the scavengers and unknown magical animals, and they have been exterminated.

Mission description: Take the K3 train on the Trans-Siberian Railway, and make sure that there are no fish that slipped through the net from the remnants of the Scavengers and Fantastic Beasts.

Mission reward: 500 points]

Hermione also leaned over and glanced at the tasks in Tom's notebook.

"I think this task is very interesting, but it's a waste of time." Hermione felt that the difficulty of this task was moderate. After all, the train had already been cleaned by the Aurors. In theory, there would be nothing too dangerous on it. It was still very easy, but it took a long time.

"Maybe we could take a week off?" Tom suggested. The Trans-Siberian Railway connects the European part of Russia, Siberia and the Far East, with a total length of 9,288 kilometers. It takes seven days and seven nights from the starting station Moscow to the terminal station Vladivostok, so if you want to go, you have to take a week off.

Hermione shuddered at the thought of missing a week of class, and hurriedly said, "Let's see if there are any tasks related to Pharaoh Menes first."

They looked through the task list together, and finally accepted a D-level mission for the investigation of the Sahara Desert—the mission goal was to go to the Sahara Desert to find the relics left by ancient wizards. This quest is rated as D-level to allow as many wizards as possible to accept it, and the final quest rating depends on the scale of the ruins they find. Similar to this task type is the investigation of inaccessible places such as the Amazon rainforest and the Arctic and Antarctic wilderness.

After receiving the task, the two returned to the real world.

"So how do you get there?" Hermione suddenly realized a big problem: Pharaoh Menes lived a little far away...

Tom looked at Hogwarts Castle and smiled without saying a word.

In the headmaster's office at Hogwarts, Dumbledore was sitting comfortably in an armchair, watching Phoenix Fox squatting on a sycamore branch and combing its feathers. Suddenly, the door of the principal's office was pushed open. Tom and Hermione walked in.

"Mr. Yoddle, and Miss Granger," Dumbledore showed a look of surprise, "I don't remember telling you the password for the entrance to the headmaster's office—"

"Try the desserts and candies I've seen before and you'll know." Tom had a straight face. Dumbledore was also a talent, and he actually set the password for the entrance of the office to Super Bubble Gum. In order to guess the password, he still tried for a while.

"So? Why did you two come to me, a bad old man, on Sunday morning? You didn't come to eat my candy, did you?" Dumbledore put the plate of candy on the table into his own drawer.

Tom was also straightforward, directly expressing to Dumbledore that the two of them wanted to borrow Dumbledore's Phoenix.

"For the mission of the guild? Yes."

To Tom's surprise, Dumbledore readily agreed without making things difficult for them. Tom had thought that Dumbledore would either reject their application, or charge a fee, such as borrowing one thousand points once.

Tom was a little confused, "Is it free?"

"Of course," Dumbledore nodded kindly, "Go, if Fox agrees, you can take it out."

Tom showed a hint of joy, and happily walked to Fox, but just as he stretched out his hand, Fox glared at him.

The feathers on Fox's head stood up, and a threatening sound came out of his throat. Obviously, it didn't want to take two little wizards out with it.

"Principal Dumbledore said..." Hermione persuaded Fox, but she stopped in the middle of the sentence, and she remembered that Dumbledore said "if Fox agrees", but obviously, now Fox does not agree.

Tom glanced at Dumbledore, and found that he was sitting leisurely in his chair, looking like he was watching the fun.

"Fox—" Hermione pleaded, but Fawkes was unmoved. Then Tom spoke.

"We are going to visit an old man in the magic world, who has lived for thousands of years. If you want, I can take you to see him," Tom began to paint the phoenix, "he has a magical The alchemy creation can help wizards understand different languages, that is to say, if we borrow this thing from him, we can communicate without barriers."

This sentence caught Fox's attention, and his beautiful eyes looked at Tom. Tom also strikes while the iron is hot, "You take me there this time, I promise, I will help you fulfill a wish after it is done."

Fox was moved.

It flew down from the sycamore branch and landed on Tom's shoulder, patting his cheek lightly to signify the deal was done.

Dumbledore:  …

Phoenix, Tom and Dumbledore not far away form a classic white school composition.

He knew that Fox would not refuse Tom, but he didn't expect Fox to agree too easily! But before he could say anything, Fox disappeared with Tom and Hermione.

The next second, they appeared in an alley in London. The sudden appearance of two people and one bird startled the wild cats in the alley to flee everywhere. Tom looked around to make sure no one saw the two of them.

"Change your clothes first, then let's go buy some gifts for Pharaoh." Then there was a rustling sound. Tom and Hermione took off the rather eye-catching wizard robes, put on Muggle costumes, and then walked into London's busy commercial street. They had to prepare some gifts for Pharaoh Menes—otherwise it would be too embarrassing to go there empty-handed. As for Fox, he was left in the alley by them. It is too conspicuous, and once it appears, it will bring a lot of unnecessary troubles.

But the two left the alley with their front feet, and they came back with their back feet. Fox was taken aback for a while. Naturally, Tom and Hermione used the Time Converter cleverly. Tom didn't feel at ease leaving a phoenix like Fox in a London alley, so after finishing shopping, he directly used the Time Converter to travel back to the point in time when they set off .

"Come on, Fox, let's go to the desert," Tom said, holding a chocolate ball to Fox's mouth, and Fox hesitated, swallowing it without even chewing it. After eating the chocolate ball, Fox disappeared in place with Tom and Hermione.

After entering the Sahara Desert, Tom wanted to go to the Pyramid of Menes based on his previous memory, but he didn't expect that the golden fish in their arms suddenly became excited, as if he felt that his hometown was close in front of him. So with the golden fish as a guide, the two easily found the desolate ancient city with one bird, and then entered the pyramid of Menes.

Repeat the old tricks all the way. After a long dive, Tom and Hermione returned to the main hall of Menes. When they emerged, Menes was sleeping with his cat in his arms.

When Tom jumped out of the pool, both Menis and the cat in his arms opened their eyes.

"It's you again, a traveler from the future." Menis yawned and stretched his waist, "Five thousand years ago, if you dared to enter the king's bedroom without notification, you would definitely be punished by the priests." Mummified."

"But now, it's nothing. Come in and come in." Menis's cat turned into a beautiful girl, and moved two reclining chairs for Tom. Fox squatted on Tom's shoulder, and croaked proudly, attracting Menis' attention.

"Phoenix? Interesting, I thought this family would not get close to humans, but I didn't expect you to be recognized by Phoenix." He was lazily lying on his side on a cushion, looking very relaxed.

His eyes flicked over Tom, then lingered on his face for a moment. He let out a "huh", looking a little surprised.

"What have you been through? Ankaya, serve our traveler a glass of wine." He gave instructions to the busy maiden cat, and watched her walk away with twists and turns. He turned his face to Tom, and said to Tom, "Your soul is unstable."

Tom thought for a while. The only recent accident related to the soul is the encounter with the dementor on the Hogwarts Express. So he told Menis about his experience, which made Menis think deeply.

"Oh? It's interesting." Menis couldn't help being very interested when he heard that there were dark creatures that feed on human happiness. "In my time, there was no such creature."

Then he sighed, and said with some regret: "It's a pity that I can't leave this palace, and I don't have the chance to see this guy's demeanor—if possible, raising a dementor may be a good pet choice."

Tom: ...

Is this the boss?

Facing the dementor, he felt like he had lost half his life, but the boss actually wanted to keep this kind of thing as a pet! But if Menis wants to see the dementors, it's not impossible. On the train before, the dementor grabbed Tom's neck with his hand, and the two had physical contact, so Tom successfully copied the form of the dementor on his ring, filling the last place.

"If you want, I can show you the transformation." Tom's words shocked Menis, and he raised his head in surprise: "You can actually become a dementor?"

Tom spoke with the facts, and switched forms without further ado. A tall figure in tattered robes appeared in the hall. The moment it appeared, although the palace was sunny, Hermione, who was sitting beside her, still felt Her body was icy cold, as if a large glass of ice water had been poured into her stomach. She shivered, feeling that the joy in her heart was leaving her.

Seeing Tom's new form, Menis opened his eyes wide in surprise, and his gaze fell on the ring on Tom's hand, and then he laughed: I didn't expect the thinking of these juniors to be so strange. He gave Tom an appreciative look, and then his attention was drawn to the dementor that Tom had turned into.

This was Tom's first time in the form of a dementor, and it was a very new experience for him. Unlike several other magical animals, in the form of a dementor, Tom can't see the outside world, everything is foggy, but in this fog, he can see a few clusters of bright colors. The colors of the chromophores are different, and the feelings they give him are also different.

Along with his breathing, strands of color floated out of those color clusters, which were inhaled into his body. There was a mass of pink color in Tom's hand. After the color was absorbed, it gave people a lively and cheerful feeling. Tom's intuition told him that this was Hermione's mood. Hermione's taste was very sweet, and Tom couldn't help taking two more puffs, only to find that the ball of color trembled violently, and seemed to shrink a little, which scared Tom to stop quickly. No longer being sucked, Hermione's chromophore stabilized, and its shape gradually became larger, eventually returning to its normal size. However, compared to the beginning, this group of colors has become a little duller.

The chromophore opposite Tom was not so much a chromophore, but more like a small sun, which made Tom feel extremely hot. Tom knew that it was Menis' emotion. At this time, he faintly heard Menis who was sitting opposite him speak. His voice was muffled, as if he was listening to someone on the shore in the water.

"Breathe towards me." Menis asked Tom to inhale some of his emotions towards him, and Tom did as he said, inhaling a little bit of the emotions in Menis's color cluster, and as soon as the ray of "sunshine" entered, Tom only felt his own The body seemed to be on fire. The next moment, his dementor form was passively released.

It was the first time Tom met him when he was beaten back to his original form.

"Interesting creature!" Menis looked very happy~lightnovelpub.net~ very satisfied. But after the excitement, he said seriously: "If it just grabbed your neck and didn't take off the hood according to what you said, it shouldn't have caused such great damage to your soul—in other words, if it was only That way, your soul can become so unstable, which means that you have a big problem, your soul and body are not compatible enough."

Saying that, Menis looked at the ring on Tom's hand.

"If I'm not wrong, you can still become a phoenix, right?"

Hearing what Menis said, Fox raised his head in shock.

Now Fox knew which "phoenix" had stolen Professor Snape's potion ingredients.
