Chapter 229 The Dark Cloud Floating towards Hogwarts
The drifting snowflakes dyed the grassland white, the howling wind whizzed past the treetops of the Forbidden Forest, the swaying branches shook the snow, and a conspicuous greenness came out from the white snow, in the swaying of the trees , the illusion of spring flashed by.
The little wizards had already gotten used to the cold winter at Hogwarts. They put on warm scarves and thick sweaters, made themselves bulging, and walked awkwardly in the aisles of the castle.
After the last class in the afternoon, the Hogwarts Express will take them back to platform nine and three-quarters, and the parents who have been looking forward to it for a long time will greet them with warm embraces for their reunion home.
And the little wizards who stay in the school will participate in the lively Christmas dinner with the professors who also stay in the school. Although some things prevent them from going back to reunite, Hogwarts has gradually become their second home. , just like what Dumbledore would say at the beginning of school.
Just as the little wizards were enjoying today's sumptuous lunch and belching their bellies, the owl who came to deliver letters against the wind and snow accurately dropped newspapers with the aroma of ink.
The little wizard who was lively chatting with his companions cheerfully started the Daily Prophet. There are not a few students in the school who insist on subscribing to the newspaper, but they are a little strangely vigilant. They only sent a copy in the morning. Why is it at noon? again?
But it is not uncommon for them to encounter such a supplement. The Daily Prophet issued a supplement to the two previous Horcrux destruction incidents, but when they opened the front page of the newspaper,
A dignified atmosphere soon dissipated. As the contents of the newspaper were continuously circulated, the laughter and chatter of the little wizards disappeared. They turned their heads in unison. Unfortunately, there was no sign of Sirius on the teacher's seat.
"Professor Black also knows divination?"
The little wizards couldn't help but have this idea in their hearts.
Their eyes once again fell on the newspaper. There was a black and white photo on it. There was no grass on a gloomy island, and only a lonely old castle stood alone on it.
[Azkaban guards disappeared mysteriously, and two-thirds of the prison guards' dementors disappeared. 】
[Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge said he had no comment on this, and said that the Ministry of Magic's Emergency Disaster Division and the Aurors had been dispatched to investigate this, and Susan Burns, Director of Magical Law Enforcement, would be supervised Accountability for ineffective behavior. 】
The photo below the headline on the front page is a picture of Fudge pretending to be calm and giving a speech, but none of the little wizards cared about the nonsense of the Minister of Magic who could exist, but it was useless to exist or not.
The news of Voldemort's possible return was fermented in the discussions among the young wizards. Several young wizards even said convincingly that they had received letters from their families saying that Voldemort had really returned.
But none of this caused panic among the little wizards. They were more of a strange excitement. Many people had already pulled out their wands and waved them. After Seid completed the physical patron saint, Sirius' Firebolt The stock of prizes for the class has been completely emptied before Christmas.
At least [-] or [-] physical patron saints ran lightly in mid-air after being summoned. A feeling that I can protect parents and family members spread in their hearts. Cause an irrepressible panic on them, and now.
The four dementors guarding the gate of Hogwarts were far away from the gate. Even if the breath from the auditorium behind them did not target them, it stimulated the smoke on their bodies to tremble.
One full member can summon the white mist, and one tenth of them can summon the school of the physical patron saint. This is the graveyard that the dementors don't even want to get close to, you bastard!
If someone went to Azkaban to conduct a questionnaire survey, it would be 100% found that one-third of the group who did not leave Azkaban were all good kids who had been stationed at Hogwarts.
However, Dumbledore got the information about the disappearance of the dementors an hour earlier than the little wizards who were eating in the auditorium.
In the principal's room, a tired young man walked out of Fox's phoenix flame. Ron was tortured by the ultra-long-distance apparition several times in a row. The magic world should study a more comfortable way of moving, long-distance Moving is just too much of a grind.
After taking a few breaths, Ron sat opposite Dumbledore and drank the black tea in one gulp.
"The teacher has gone to Huaxia. He is preparing to formally dismantle Obelisk's giant soldier, Ra's sun god, and Osiris' sky dragon together with the researchers there."
"I just said that you don't know your whereabouts anyway, Professor. It's not surprising that this kind of thing is classified as secret. Fortunately, there is Bully at home, otherwise I will probably have to run for nothing this time."
"That is to say, you got it?" Dumbledore didn't seem to panic at all, with a smile on his face, without the slightest worry.
"No, Teacher Sorcerer's Stone has always been on him, and the Sorcerer's Stone has played a big role in this dismantling and repair. Many alloy formulas have been lost. If you want to completely restore the Three Illusory Gods, you have to smash in at least two A Philosopher's Stone, maybe even more."
"The Egyptian Ministry of Magic paid all the inheritance in the remaining two Phantom Pyramids in exchange for the teacher's action regardless of the cost. It is possible that within a year or two, the teacher will have to stay in Egypt or some secret facility. Pandora I don’t know when the teacher will remember to finish the last two weapons for me, alas.”
Ron sighed, then put his wand on the table.
"However, Bully has the control authority of the teacher's alchemy workshop. Although the newly installed pyramid energy core can also produce pure magic power, the attribute of magic power is too violent, and it cannot be directly used for charging like the Philosopher's Stone. I reluctantly I stuffed it a little bit harder, although it’s not much, it’s better than nothing.”
Dumbledore picked up Ron's wand and looked it over carefully. In the eyes of the old man, this thing is not a wand at all. Although the magic medium produced by the main body of the Sorcerer's stone that has exhausted its magic power has a similar booster magic wand The effect of the spell, but its biggest role is still as a power bank.
Ron has been continuously injecting magic power into it for a year and a half, and the accumulated amount is almost double that of Dumbledore's own magic power. During this trip to France, Ron also poured some magic power into it. With a part of the manic pure magic power that he can afford, the total capacity has increased by one third.
A Voldemort who possesses love is by no means as vulnerable as the incomplete soul seen before. He has a complete body and has been made up for the biggest shortcoming of his life
The new Tom may still be arrogant, short-sighted, and defiant, but he is definitely not weaker than when he was raging, and will even burst out with more terrifying power than before.
Now that the trick is no longer effective, only a head-to-head effort can truly defeat and kill this revived remnant soul at this time.
"Can Fox's blessing still be used?"
Ron touched the feathers of the phoenix, he asked Dumbledore.
"Yes, Fox has already stepped out of the weakness of Nirvana, but he still needs to accumulate magic power. Compared with last time, the power that Fox can provide you is limited. The closer to the Nirvana period of Phoenix, the stronger the magic power of Phoenix. Fox can now The power supplied to you is only about a quarter of the last time."
"Fox." Ron rubbed Phoenix's little head, "Did Professor Dumbledore deduct your meal money and recover so slowly?"
Fox tilted his head to look at Ron in some puzzlement, and then stared at Dumbledore for a while, as if he was also wondering if there was such a thing.
"How is that possible." Dumbledore shook his head, and even took a sip of the sweet and greasy drink on the table, "Although food with magic power can speed up his magic power accumulation, it's a pity that the Phoenix belongs to the highest One of the most powerful magical creatures, Gublai Immortal Fire is already the highest level"
"Kachakacha~"
Fox's cheerful cry sounded after a burst of eating sounds. Fox, who was already in Ron's arms and couldn't get up, squinted his eyes and enjoyed the joy of being fed.
A basketball-sized crystal shone with a yellowish-greenish luster under the light. Although it didn't look very good, it was obvious that it was a very delicious food for Fox.
When killing the Chimera beast and the basilisk before, Ron received two of their magic power crystals as rewards. Although it was marked as 'edible', Ron was totally ignorant of this hard stone-like thing. I don't know what to say.
It's not that he hasn't tried it, but the wonderful taste in his mouth made him sick for a whole day without eating, and he never tried it again.
I just tried it on a whim, but I didn't expect that Fox seemed to be very enjoyable to eat?
Seeing Fawkes pecking at a rock and rubbing against Ron, Dumbledore hesitated for a moment, then took out a Goblet fire called the eternal flame, and put it to Fawkes' mouth.
Fox, who used to like the flame very much, continued to peck at the unknown crystal stone without turning his head, and even waved his wings in distaste and patted Dumbledore's hand that was close to his mouth.
"."
Feeling disgusted, Dumbledore put away the flames in a daze, looking at Ron's expression, it became more and more wrong.
'Is this my bird or yours? '
Feeling that the phoenix was leaving him, Dumbledore flashed the thought, but seeing that Fox was so happy, he could only wipe away his old father's tears and prepare to say goodbye silently.
"Hiccup~"
After eating a few mouthfuls, Fox, who was already full, burped with flames. He turned over lazily after becoming a useless bird, and squinted his eyes contentedly with his round belly exposed. If Fox was As far as cats are concerned, the appearance of begging to rub their stomachs can't make a company of cat-sucking monsters ascend to the sky in an instant, so cool that they fly.
It's a pity that Fox is a bird, this action can only make Ron pat his stomach, and then wonder if Fox can continue to take off now, Fox looks like a balloon with a head and wings, standing still Unsteady.
"Where did you come from?" Dumbledore took the crystal curiously, and the magic power contained in it gave him a very familiar feeling, with a cold and deadly death, undoubtedly the breath of a basilisk up.
"basilisk?"
"Well, I found it after killing the basilisk. Isn't the magic power crystal that will be dropped after killing monsters? I also got one from killing the Chimera."
Dumbledore frowned at Ron's words.
"This is the first time I've seen it." Dumbledore put down the crystal, "The crystal contains all the magic power of magical creatures. This is a remarkable discovery and it will be very useful."
"Maybe it's the wrong way of dealing with them?"
"Principal, you can try to chop off a few heads with a sword. Of course, hunting with magic tricks can't get the most perfect spoils."
Ron raised his eyebrows, "Muscles are still useful, right?"
Suddenly, Dumbledore covered his forehead with a black thread hanging from his head. Who would a serious wizard brandish a large sword on the door to find trouble for those magical creatures?
This is not enough for people to eat.
After sorting out his emotions, Dumbledore patted Fox's round stomach full of food and said with some regret: "If you take it out earlier, maybe Fox can recover to its full strength sooner. Not so digestible."
"By the way, Ron." Dumbledore got up from his chair, and he walked to an open window, overlooking the white snow scene outside.
"Let's go, a guest is coming." He smiled at Ron and drew out his wand, "An uninvited guest."
Pushing open the door of the principal's office, they did not appear in the corridor on the eighth floor. The original spiral staircase turned into a secret door hidden behind the hanging paintings. in the hall.
"Now, please listen to me."
The appearance of Dumbledore made the little wizards suddenly quiet.
"Is it Tom, Professor Dumbledore?"
Although the three words Voldemort are not easy to say, the little wizards did not feel the slightest awkwardness when they said the friendly name Tom. This name, which is the same as Zhang Wei and Li Mingwangcai, weakened their fear of Voldemort. many.
"Yes." Dumbledore even had some faint smiles on his face, "Yes, he is here."
"But I don't think it should delay you going home today to spend a happy Christmas with your family."
"The afternoon classes are cancelled. The deans of each college count the students of their respective colleges and take them back to the common room."
"Perhaps you can play a few games and wait for a while. I will be back soon."
This relaxed tone slowly dissipated the tension that had pervaded the auditorium, and the little wizards waved their blessings and cheers cheerfully to their gray-haired but dependable principal.
After eating the basilisk and the dragon, learning the Patronus and being called Tom again, the students of Hogwarts are still a group of young wizards who need to be taken care of, but the courage and strength in their hearts have gradually begun to sprout. .
"Professor Dumbledore! Can we help together?"
"Is Tom almost at school?"
"We can help too!"
A materialized patron saint jumped out of the crowd, followed by two or three white lights that brought warmth and courage to the auditorium, and the ceiling of the hall turned into dozens of hundreds of physical patron saints running and jumping In Animal Crossing, this power of joy made the smile on the corner of Dumbledore's mouth even bigger. He clapped his hands gently, his eyes full of relief and satisfaction.
"Then, Hogwarts is up to you."
Dumbledore bowed lightly, then passed through the crowd and walked out of the gate of the castle.
A group of dark clouds infested the sky of the Forbidden Forest, and the gray clouds caused a riot in the Forbidden Forest. The dementors flying all over the sky gathered into a cloud with a cold air, spreading despair and ominousness.
Go to bed early today, get up early tomorrow to code, it's time to get back on track.
