Harry Potter and the Old Ones

Harry felt his eyes go dark, and if it wasn't for the support of Ron and Hermione next to him, he would probably fall to the ground.

Dumbledore was bending over at this moment, putting his hand on Tierra's heart, as if checking something.

"Tiera!" Harry yelled, throwing himself on the side of the hospital bed, holding on to the side of the bed with one hand, and cautiously reached out to Tiera with the other hand, gently touching Tiera's hand——

As cold and stiff as a corpse.

A suffocating fear gripped Harry's throat, making it hard for him to breathe.

"It's really Tierra?" Dumbledore sighed, straightened up, and stroked his beard with some doubts.

"Don't talk silly about Albus, can he still be a fake Tierra? The question we care about is why Tierra was injured?" Professor McGonagall asked bluntly.

"Oh... I mean, he was petrified, but not just a normal, mischievous petrification, but... but a very powerful dark magic curse." Dumbledore said, but saw After Harry's anxious expression, he sighed and said, "But please don't worry, Tierra was only petrified, and her life is not in danger for the time being. If I remember correctly, Mrs. Sprout's Mandrake will soon Mature now"

"Yes, Mr. Headmaster," said the chubby Professor Sprout.

"Fantastic, I have a petrified resurrection potion that will bring Tierra back to life once they've matured—" said Dumbledore, and patted Harry again.

Harry only felt that his mood suddenly calmed down, as if Dumbledore had a special magical power, which could calm his inner anxiety.

"So calm down first, Harry, even though what happened to Tierra is a sad accident, but more importantly, we need to figure out why this happened." Dumbledore said, "Tell me Yela and you have always been inseparable, so can you tell me where Tiela has been today, and what unusual behavior has happened?"

"During breakfast today, Tierra suddenly made a prophecy...Actually, I don't quite understand what Tierra's prophecy means...but after making this prophecy, Tierra ran away from the hall Get out...and we never see each other again..." said Harry.

"Prophecy? What prophecy?" Dumbledore's hand stroking his beard suddenly paused, looking at Professor McGonagall and Snape in surprise, "When will Tierra make a prophecy?"

"Mr. Principal, I personally think that Tierra's so-called prophecy is just Tierra's reasonable inference based on the existing information and the luck of a blind cat meeting a dead mouse." Facing Dumbledore Snape replied calmly, then lowered his voice and said:

"Dumbledore, you and I have both seen the real prophecy, I'm sure..." Snape paused, "I'm sure it's just a child's prank, or it's just a way for him to gain attention."

"But almost all of his prophecies have come true, haven't they? So whether it's a prediction or a prophecy, it means that the information he gave is indeed reliable." Dumbledore said, "Then, Mr. Potter, can you tell me that this time our Did little Tierra make another prophecy?"

"Actually... I mean we don't quite know what Tierra's prophecy said..." Harry said, and then said to Hermione, "Hermione, that piece of paper."

"Here, Professor." Hermione took out the list that Tierra had written during breakfast from her pocket, and handed it to Dumbledore.

Dumbledore took the paper from Tierra, glanced at it, and handed it to Professor McGonagall with a solemn expression.

After Professor McGonagall took a few glances, he handed it over to Flitwick and Professor Sprout.

"The children on the list, protect them immediately." Dumbledore said with a serious face, "Tiera was probably attacked, a very malicious attack, and the attack will happen again."

"What kind of attack?" Professor McGonagall asked worriedly. Suddenly, Professor McGonagall seemed to remember something, "Could it be with..."

"Yes, Minerva," said Dumbledore, "I'm afraid this time it will be worse than before."

...

At the same time, when many professors were worried about the "attack" incident, on the platform square above the water in the Slytherin chamber a few miles below Tierra's body, a group of dark red worms that were close to the human shape were swaying. Sitting on an old sofa with two legs, flipping through a big thick book with tentacles made of worms. On the cover of the book is written a line of words in Arabic——

Necronomicon

On the damp ground next to the sofa, more than twenty pale yellow worms were crawling out of a stiff spider one by one.

In front of the spider stands a huge mirror.

Through the reflection of the mirror, the acromantula saw a huge yellow eye.

"Okay, Salazar, you can eat it. I have enough cursed worms." The humanoid worm sitting on the sofa closed the "Necronomicon" and stood up slowly. The worms emerging from the giant spider seemed to be drawn by something, and gathered towards the worm block——

Finally merged in.

This makes the worm blocks more humanoid.

But on the wet floor of the secret room, twenty-five worms were still wriggling——

Corresponding to the little Muggle-born wizards on the list except Tierra, one for each person.

The old trick is over, and my prophecy will come true by itself.

Because Tierra still needs Gilderoy Lockhart and Tom Riddle to help him summon Yog-Sothoth, Tierra cannot have any operations that arouse their suspicion.

So in order to avoid Tom Riddle's inexplicable revenge, Tierra had to go back to her old business and eat her own worms.

The petrification caused by indirect eye contact with the basilisk is a weakened version of the death curse.

While not fatal, it will also put Tierra into a near-death state of petrification.

And Gilderoy Lockhart's ritual must ensure that the human body is healthy and fresh—

In other words, Tierra after being cursed by petrification is not easy to use.

But what does it matter if Tierra is useful or not? Anyway, the head on Gilderoy Lockhart can last for more than three months.

So Tierra simply shed her shell, left her useless body in the school hospital, and transferred her consciousness to the "parasite". Tierra, who had no social interaction, went to class, and didn't even need to sleep, could finally have a lot of energy. Time can openly study the magic on the Necronomicon.

As for the other Muggle-born students—

Tierra believes that if Gilderoy Lockhart can't kill him, he will definitely attack other students, and compared to those students who came from wizard families and have already occupied a place in the magic world, Gilderoy Lockhart will definitely Preferring to kill Muggle-born students—

Tierra also believed that Tom Riddle would not expose his own lies for a group of Muggle-born kids.

So Tierra had no choice but to jump on the prophet and let the professors of Hogwarts take care of those Muggle-born children——

And Gilderoy Lockhart, who couldn't find a chance to make a move, will inevitably seek help from Tom Riddle again.

Tom Riddle continued to cover up the last lie with another lie——
