Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 258: Fly away from death

In an apartment in Devon, Nico is sitting in an armchair reading a book, his eyes occasionally falling on the mechanical clock by the fireplace. He is waiting for a visit from a friend who is undoubtedly late .

A moment later, there was a knock on the door.

“Albus, it’s rare for you to be late.”

The owner of the apartment opened the door and greeted the old man outside with a smile. Only this former friend could knock on the door of the apartment without touching the defense magic.

“There are watchers.” Dumbledore explained the reason for his late arrival. “Several Muggles were under the Imperius Curse, and I took a moment to send them away.”

“It seems that Voldemort has indeed set his sights on the Philosopher’s Stone.” Nicole looked helpless.

“He never wants to come in, does he?” Perenal greeted him with a smile. The two have lived for hundreds of years, what big scene have they not seen?

“Yes, he is still very weak, and it is difficult to break through the outer protective magic.” Dumbledore nodded, “However, it is a trouble after all.”

For the LeMays, life hasn’t been affected too much. They rarely go out. Although the elixir of life keeps them from dying, their bodies have become fragile due to the years.

The incident happened a month ago. Nicole, feeling the threat, left France in a hurry and returned to the apartment in England protected by the Faithful Charm.

The other party did not give up because of this, but still found the UK all the way, and finally touched the nose before the Charm of Loyalty.

Later, Dumbledore told Nicole that it was likely Voldemort who was looking for them, who probably wanted to use the Philosopher’s Stone to restore his powers.

This is not good news.

Lemay and his wife need to rely on the elixir made by the Philosopher’s Stone to continue to live. Once the Philosopher’s Stone is taken away, their lives will come to an end.

They contacted Dumbledore, who offered to help them with the trouble.

Because once Voldemort regains his strength with the help of the Philosopher’s Stone and makes a comeback, there may be no peace in the entire wizarding world.

“However, why are you free to come here, I remember that today is the time for the alchemy party.” Nico glanced at the purple invitation on the fireplace, “Sera will probably be very unhappy, I last time I promised to go to the party.”

“I’ve participated a few times before, but it didn’t feel interesting, so I stopped participating.” Dumbledore added three sugar cubes to his black tea, “It’s been a long time since a new person joined.”

“It seems that you haven’t paid attention to this aspect for a long time, and Serra told me that he found a good child, just as good as you were.” Nico seemed not to take Voldemort’s business to heart.

“I know, his name is Albert Anderson, he’s a pretty good kid, very good at ancient runes.” Dumbledore didn’t pay much attention to Albert, but he was still very impressed. , “He is a bit like me. He often keeps correspondence with famous magic masters, and Hetok has suffered a big loss in front of him.”

“Hertok?” Nicole thought for a while, then suddenly said, “I see, it’s that kid!”

“You know him?” Dumbledore was surprised that Nico actually knew Albert.

“We met at an opera house in France, and Hertoc asked me for a divination because of the gold card,” Nicole explained.

“What happened to them later?” Perenal was more concerned about the outcome, “Did Hetok get his gold card back?”

“Yes, they finally reconciled.” Dumbledore smiled. “Hertok helped Mr. Anderson clear up the misunderstanding.”

“We know what you’re here for, and if you really need it, we can give you a Philosopher’s Stone.” Nico sighed and brought the topic back to life. The Philosopher’s Stone is too important to them. Once the Philosopher’s Stone is lost, it means death, and they will not take risks.

Of course, Nico is also aware of the importance this friend places on Voldemort, and he doesn’t mind borrowing Dumbledore.

“This.” Perenal placed the Philosopher’s Stone in front of Dumbledore.

“Is this a fake?” Dumbledore was very surprised, because he had seen the Philosopher’s Stone, and the one in front of him was almost identical to the one he had ever seen.

“Yes, it’s a failure!” Nicole grinned. “Even if it’s you, you can’t tell the difference, right.” In fact, the success of the Philosopher’s Stone is more due to an accident. Even Niko can’t replicate it again. Although he made a similar Philosopher’s Stone, But it can’t have the effect of the magic stone.

“That’s a good idea.” Dumbledore said suddenly after picking up the stone and observing it carefully, “But now is not the time.”

“Isn’t it time yet?” Nicole repeated inexplicably.

“Yeah, not yet.” Dumbledore said, “I need to get Voldemort out and see what’s going on with him now, you know, almost no one can live like him, like a ghost, Not a ghost.”

“As far as I know, there is a case that echoes what you said.” Perenal recalled the past: “According to the records, the vile Haierbo was the first recorded dark wizard to create a Horcrux. “

“Despicable Haierbo?” Nico frowned slightly, obviously remembering bad memories.

“About two hundred years ago, we met him.” Perenal’s voice drifted farther and farther away, “Hierbo didn’t know where he learned about us and wanted to take away the Philosopher’s Stone. Wasn’t it too pleasant, and then we beat Haier with the help of some friends ~IndoMTL.com~ Haier dead?” Dumbledore asked.

“I don’t know, maybe he’s dead.” Nico shook his head and said, “We never heard from him again after that.”

The Horcrux.

Dumbledore is naturally aware of this mysterious and evil black magic, and there is a collection of Horcrux-related books in the Hogwarts library.

Of course, Dumbledore doesn’t have any proof that Voldemort created Horcruxes.

Later, in the years after Voldemort disappeared, Dumbledore found traces of Voldemort in the forests of Albania. There are various indications that Voldemort is still alive after being hit by the rebounding Avada Solitaire, probably because of the Horcrux.

This is not a good sign, a wizard with a horcrux cannot kill him completely if he can’t find and destroy the horcrux.

Even if an ordinary wizard creates a Horcrux, the threat is not great. After the physical body is destroyed, he will only become extremely weak, and in the end, he can only live humbly.

But a powerful wizard like Voldemort, even if weakened, is only temporary, and he can always find many ways to regain his strength.

“What’s the matter? You don’t look very good.” Perenal looked at Dumbledore worriedly.

“If that’s the case, that’s really bad news.” Dumbledore sighed. “From what I know about Voldemort, that crazy guy probably made more than one Horcrux.”

“It’s impossible.” Nico frowned, “Cut the soul, it will make the soul very unstable and make a lot of Horcruxes, unless he is crazy.”

“Yes, Voldemort is indeed a lunatic, think about his new name for himself.”

Fly away from…death?
