The Mightiest Wizard of Hogwarts

Chapter 63 Blood Circle
Dumbledore nodded and said,

"However, there are still some problems with the improvement of this spell. He can only locate the target's position when casting the spell. If the target shifts its position, it won't work."

While Dumbledore was explaining, Snape had put the potion in the crucible into a bottle and distributed it to everyone.

"As long as you drink this potion, you can know where Black was taken."

Everyone looked at each other, took the potion,

The number of potions is limited, so it is naturally impossible for everyone present to look for Finny,

After some discussion, Dumbledore, Snape, Moody and Arthur went to find Finny, and the others returned to their posts and continued to hide.

Voldemort has not completely returned, and now is not the time for the Order of the Phoenix to be exposed,
Apparition is prohibited in the castle of Hogwarts, of course, Dumbledore can temporarily lift this restriction,

However, at this time they just wanted to go out to find Finny's whereabouts, and there was no need to lift this restriction. After all, this restriction was also one of the protection measures of Hogwarts Castle.

The four of them came to the side of the Forbidden Forest, which was no longer within the scope of the castle, and they could use Apparition.

After drinking the potion, a strange place appeared in the minds of several people, which was the specific coordinates of the dungeon where Finny was.

Because this is a stronghold of vampires, there will be vampires coming and going from time to time, so it is not protected by the Fidelity Curse, otherwise, even if there is a potion with a positioning spell ritual, there is no way to find such a clear location coordinates.

After confirming the specific location, several people apparated to this place one after another.

This is also a castle, but unlike Hogwarts, the castle here is much smaller and has some differences in style,
Hogwarts has many towers and building bodies, but here there are not so many towers, there is only one building body.

Dumbledore stood in front of the crowd with his wand in his hand, and walked towards the vampire's castle first.

Waving the wand, the protective measures set up by the vampire castle were useless in the face of Dumbledore's accumulation and powerful strength over the past century, like blank paper.

The four people who were ready to fight, ended up going all the way to the underground of the castle without encountering any enemies.
It wasn't until they went underground along the stairs that they saw their enemies, but they were all dead enemies,
The death appearances of these vampires were different, some died directly without trauma, and some were indeed decapitated with scars all over their bodies.

"It was caused by the Killing Curse."

Moody looked at a completed corpse and said in a deep voice,

"There are also traces of cutting and blasting curses."

Snape's expression was also serious,

The four of them were a little bit confused at this time, because the current situation seemed to be that other people had come here first, and they were likely to take Feeney away.

"Go on and see if you can find any clues about Black."

Dumbledore made a final decision on the next task,

The four continued to walk forward. In addition to the corpses of vampires, the corpses of Muggles and wizards began to appear on the ground, all of which were bitten and pulled to death by vampires.

"It was a terrible battle."

Arthur said with emotion, and the wand in his hand was gripped even tighter.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Dumbledore frowned, very dignified,
"Alastor, Severus, Arthur, let's check the situation here separately. The facts may be different from what we think. This place has not been attacked."

Snape nodded, and walked towards the direction they came from, that is, up and down the castle,
Arthur took a look and walked up. Unlike Snape who planned to search the upstairs, he planned to look around the castle for signs of attack or escape.

Moody walked towards the bottom floor, which is the dungeon where Feeney and the others escaped.

And Dumbledore walked to the innermost part of this layer, which is the place with the most dead bodies.

As Dumbledore walked deeper and deeper, there were more and more corpses on the ground. Finally, he came to the outside of a room, and this is also the place with the most corpses. This is also the only place where there are only high-level vampires. Corpses and wizard corpses but no low-level vampire corpses, and Muggle corpses.

The most important thing is that these corpses on the ground have magic wands in their hands, while the previous corpses did not have magic wands in their hands.

Pushing open the unsealed door, the scene inside was beyond Dumbledore's guess.

There was only blood but no corpses.

"Albus, there are three vampire corpses in the dungeon below, as well as some Muggle corpses. Black's was not found."

Moody's voice came from outside, along with the clack of his steel left foot,
"here is?"

Moody pushed open the door that Dumbledore hadn't fully opened, looked at the room in front of him and asked suspiciously,

"A room where a magic ritual is arranged, judging from the broken magic circle, it should be a teleportation circle, but it's just a one-off, and the blood here is the material that makes up this magic ceremony."

"There are no traces of residence here, only some traces of life. These vampires should not have stayed here for a long time, but came here in a hurry."

"The surrounding area of ​​the castle is very clean, there is no sign of escape or pursuit."

At this time, Arthur and Snape also came in one after another, and they were stunned when they saw the ritual circle full of blood in the room.
"This is,,,,,"

Arthur was at a loss for words. As the patriarch of the Weasley family with a family inheritance, he knew exactly what the magic circle in front of him was for. After all, the livestock inheritance of the Weasley family was in alchemy.

"Is this the blood directional teleportation circle?"

Moody looked at Arthur and asked,

"Arthur, what is this thing for?"

Arthur sighed and said,

"I also saw it from a notebook at home. This is a magic circle for vampires. Its function is to teleport vampires to other locations. Because vampires themselves are a type of magical creature, the general teleportation The magic circle is ineffective against them, and this magic circle can also transmit the magic items carried by vampires together, but it requires a lot of blood to open it, whether it is Muggle or wizard, as long as it is human blood. "

Dumbledore looked sharply,

"That's right, this magic circle was very popular in the dark age thousands of years ago. At that time, Muggles persecuted wizards, so wizards had no scruples about attacking Muggles."
