At the end of the path, Katie rose into the air.
She was not hanging upside down, hanging upside down on her ankles, or struggling in panic. Her posture was very graceful. Her arms were stretched out as if she was about to fly. Her hair was fluttering in the fierce wind. Her eyes were closed, and there was no expression on her face. The scene was too strange.
Below, Harry, Hermione, Elaine, and Lini all stared at Katie, who had suddenly risen into the air.
Before they realized what was happening, Elwyn waved his wand.
A red light flashed, and Katie, who had just risen into the air, began to descend slowly under Elwyn's control.
Just then, she suddenly screamed in terror.
Her eyes flew open, and it was evident that what she saw or felt caused her terrible pain, for she screamed again and again.
Like a boulder falling into a calm lake, Li Ni also screamed in a high-pitched voice.
"Stop screaming!" Elwyn cast another spell, but it did not work.
He frowned. He knew that it was because of a black magic item, the source of the curse.
Elwyn could not find the item. He wondered if he should forcefully pull Katie down from the air.
Then, he saw Katie holding an open brown paper bag in her hand.
Another red light flashed, and the paper bag flew out.
With a thud, Katie fell to the ground, writhing in pain.
"What happened?" Harry, Hermione, and Elaine rushed over to help.
"What happened?!"
"She was cursed. Is this black magic?"
"It's black magic, a black magic item," Elwyn answered.
Katie writhed violently and screamed. A few people tried to hold her, but they couldn't control her.
Elwyn waved his wand again, and she could not move.
Her face was still twisted, indicating that she was in great pain.
Elwyn took out a bottle of magic potion and fed it to her. She seemed to feel a little better.
"How is she, Elwyn? Is she alright?"
"The curse is under control. Her life is not in danger, but she needs treatment. We will send her back to school." Elwyn said that he was more concerned about the soul spell that controlled Katie. It wasn't the Soul Snatch Spell or a common spell, but it was similar to the Soul Snatch Spell. It could be used as an alluring spell. It was a rather unpopular spell.
This should be related to another black magic item. Perhaps it was still in the toilet of the Three Broomsticks Bar.
Lini was still crying from the shock, her voice mingling with the howling wind.
"Well, it's all right now!" Hermione walked to her side and put her arms around her.
"You're Lini, aren't you?"
Under Hermione's soft question, the girl nodded and wiped her tears.
"Can you tell us what's going on? Did it happen all of a sudden, or … "
"Something happened as soon as the package was torn open," Lini said, sobbing.
She pointed at the soaked package that had been sent flying by Elwyn and landed in the weeds by the roadside.
The package was torn open, and something inside was glowing green.
They walked closer and saw that it was a gorgeous opal necklace.
"Oh my god, I've seen it before!" Harry stared at the necklace and said immediately, "Do you remember, Hermione? Four years ago, when Elwyn just started school, we followed the horse … that guy and his father. This thing was displayed in the window of Burkin & Burke's. I'm sure of it. The label said that it was cursed. "
Hermione did not answer immediately. Her memory went back to that summer vacation.
She did not pay attention to what was displayed in the window of Burkin & Burke's store. She was trying to persuade Harry and Ron to leave as soon as possible …
"Well, be careful, don't touch it. It does have a strong smell of black magic," Elwyn said.
Under his control, the brown paper bag and the necklace inside flew up together.
"How did Katie get this?" Hermione continued to ask Lini.
"Oh, we were arguing about this just now. When she came out of the toilet with the Three Brooms, she was holding it in her hand. She said that it was a gift for someone in the Hogwarts and that she would pass it to them. She had a weird expression when she said that. Oh, no, oh, no, she must have been cursed. I didn't realize it at the time! "
Lini was crying and trembling again. Hermione patted her shoulder gently.
Elwyn did not explain to her that it was not a curse, but there was no need to.
He waved his wand and conjured a floating stretcher. Together with Harry, he lifted Katie onto it.
They quickly returned to school. On the way, Hermione continued to ask Lini about what happened just now.
"She didn't say who gave it to her, Lini?"
"No, she wouldn't tell me … I told her that she was out of her mind and that she couldn't bring it to school, but she wouldn't listen. Later, later, I tried to snatch it from her. But later, later … "Lini let out a desperate scream." Is Katie okay? "
"Don't worry. I'm not a Healer, but I'm sure she's fine." Elwyn said. He had been following Katie just in case. "She needs to rest for a while."
Magic that involved the soul and mind was usually very troublesome. Many injuries were invisible. Maybe there was no problem at the time, but it left a crack in the mind, which could suddenly happen after many years. However, the probability of this kind of injury was very small, and it usually referred to spells like Forgetting Curse or Soul Separation.
Even Ron, who had been hit by the Soul Snatching Curse many times in a row, did not have any problem with Katie.
They walked back to school and did not meet anyone on the way.
Otherwise, everyone would have surrounded them and asked what was going on. Katie, who was lying on the stretcher, and the necklace were floating around Elwyn. Harry was deep in thought. Hermione and Elaine accompanied Lini, whose eyes were red, and comforted her in a low voice.
When they were about to enter the school grounds, they ran into Hagrid.
He had just come out of the Forbidden Forest to visit Grup and Aragok. His eyebrows and beard were stained with rain and snow, and he was wearing the huge, sloppy beaver coat. After figuring out what was going on, he immediately picked up Katie and ran to the castle.
