Harry finally finished reading through the cook's long memories.
The chef's face turned pale and she collapsed on the ground.
He showed no mercy and chopped off the head with his knife.
"How's it going?" Hermione asked her.
Harry smiled: "It's a very good harvest. Professor Snape will like it very much."
The cook has mastered many strange potions, which are ancient and mysterious, and are completely different from the potions circulated among warlocks and pharmacists today. It can almost be said to be another completely different potion system.
No Potions Master could resist these.
Neither could Harry.
The Baron came over and stood pitifully in front of Harry, without saying a word.
But his expression said it all.
"Don't worry, let's talk about it when we get back." Harry said softly.
The Baron nodded.
Harry looked at Hermione again: "It should be okay for you to go back first?"
There are a little too many people.
In addition to the Baron and Ciri, there were five children, which could not be taken away by a single Apparition.
Ciri frowned: "Apparating again?"
"You can take two children back with the teleportation spell," Harry answered her, "I'll take the rest."
Ciri whistled and looked towards Hermione.
This time, not only Harry, but even Hermione could see the meaning in Ciri's eyes.
"My Apparition isn't as good as Harry's." Hermione shook her head and explained, "I haven't developed the ability to Apparate to bring others with me yet."
Ciri nodded: "Okay."
As she spoke, she looked at the children and raised her hand: "So, who wants to join me?"
The children were still wiping away tears.
A boy raised his head and looked at Harry: "Mr. Witcher, can you really save Grandma Anna?"
When Harry and the others were dealing with the old witch.
The Baron was not idle either. He helped these children solve their problems.
Although Anna was raising them for the old witches, she was also forced. She was cursed by the evil old witches and her soul was completely manipulated, forcing her to do such things.
The children can also feel that Anna takes care of them sincerely in their daily interactions.
It is easy to distinguish true love from false love.
"Of course." Harry nodded.
The children nodded, and their sobbing could not be stopped for a while, but they still pushed three of them out obediently and followed Ciri.
Hermione Apparated away herself.
Harry last.
He cast a spell and the barrier opened, covering the houses.
"Harry, what are you doing?" the Baron asked in confusion.
Harry answered him, "Perhaps the curse on your wife is related to this place. Protect it first. If it is needed, you don't have to worry about any problems."
The Baron nodded seriously.
After the spells were cast one by one, Harry Apparated away with the rest of the people.
Crow's Nest.
The baron fell dizzy and hit the ground with a thud.
Even the second time, he still couldn't adapt well to this teleportation spell.
The two children also felt dizzy and fell on the Baron.
He forced himself to stand up: "Harry, what is needed to remove the curse from Anna?"
"Just one room," Harry replied.
The Baron pointed upstairs: "Then let's go to our bedroom."
"It's very spacious there, you can do whatever you want."
The baron's bedroom is on the top floor, with a huge deer head statue at the door.
He hammered the door open and walked in first, making his position clear - no matter what Harry wanted to do, he would be here to watch.
Ciri followed.
Harry waved his wand and Anna, who was only the size of a cucumber, floated out of the hat. With a touch of the wand, she immediately expanded to her normal size.
"Hermione, come and see too." Harry waved towards the door.
Hermione came over and pointed her wand, sensing the specific situation of Anna.
"This seems to be similar to the curse on Avallac'h," Hermione said softly, "Her body has also been transformed. And strangely, this curse gives me a feeling of being very powerful, yet very weak."
Strong and weak, these are two contradictory states.
But at this moment, they all appeared in Hermione's senses.
"The strength comes from the body, not the curse." Harry shook his head and reminded softly.
Hermione understood immediately: "So the curse isn't that powerful?"
The Baron was confused and couldn't help asking, "What do you mean by powerful and what is not powerful? What's going on with Anna?"
Hermione replied, "There are two curses on Anna."
"It's more like some kind of contract, connected to the old witch. There is a carrier that symbolizes her body. Any damage to the carrier will be synchronized to her body."
"This curse is easy to break. We just need to find the carrier."
The Baron listened in silence.
Hermione continued, "There is also a curse that affects Anna's soul. If it breaks out, she will turn into a powerful monster."
The Baron was stunned and clenched his fists.
"Avallac'h was also cursed with this kind of curse." Hermione said gently, comforting him, "Although it is a bit tricky, Avallac'h's curse was perfectly lifted. We have experience."
The Baron breathed a sigh of relief.
Hermione raised her head and looked at Harry: "Harry, I'll use the Patronus Charm, you ..."
Harry shook his head: "Hermione, I believe you, this curse is not strong."
"Let me come alone?" Hermione was surprised. "Well, I..."
Harry looked at the motionless man, expressionless and indifferent: "Didn't you see how we did it?"
"Her curse is not as strong as Avallac'h's."
"Besides, she is still a human being now and has not turned into a monster. It will be easier to remove her curse."
Hermione held her wand: "But if I'm alone, I'm afraid she will suffer more."
"That's as it should be, isn't it?" Harry asked back, "I still have to go back and find the carrier of the first curse."
Harry spoke bluntly in the presence of the Baron.
The Baron didn't react.
Ciri was startled: "Harry, you don't like Anna?"
"Very annoying." Harry nodded. "Did you meet Triss when you went to Novigrad?"
Triss is a sorceress, very young, only in her thirties or forties.
She is also a sorceress who once had a story with Geralt.
Ciri shook her head.
Harry said softly, "Then you should meet with Triss. Some very regrettable things have happened since you left."
Ciri was confused. What did this have to do with Triss?
Harry said nothing, but raised his wand: "Hermione, I believe you can do it."
Hermione took a deep breath, "Okay, I'll try my best."
The baron muttered, "Demon Hunter, I think it might be better if you come."
"Hermione is also a very good witch. She can easily lift the curse." Harry answered him, and with a slight wave of his wand, he Disapparated and disappeared.
Ciri turned to look at the Baron: "So, what happened between you and Anna?"
