Chapter 90: Leaving No Way Behind
Seriously, Alan felt that Dumbledore hadn't used all his power to persecute Voldemort this time.
In fact, it is normal - Dumbledore has always known about Voldemort, but he can't locate the specific location and has not found a way to kill Voldemort completely, originally after the incident in the secret room, Dumbledore clearly told Harry about it.
And now, Voldemort's resurrection state is not the strength he had when he regained his peak strength as soon as he came up, but the level at which he was still beaten by Harry with the help of the three Death Eaters and fled - what difference does this have...
Therefore, it is understandable that Dumbledore is more relaxed at the moment - after all, from the beginning Dumbledore knew that Voldemort was not dead and would return sooner or later.
Now it's back, but it's a Voldemort who was hung up and beaten by Harry, and it's quite difficult to heal. Replacing Alan with Dumbledore, he's also very relaxed...
However, Alan said that he was beating squirrels, but he didn't mean to let Tom go at all.
"Headmaster, I don't think that's accurate. Alan said seriously while looking at the map memory.
"It's not enough to just find someone like this, you must know that Voldemort is one of the top wizards, and if he is hidden, there is no chance that we will run into him if we go this way. Alan said as he pointed to the small circle on the map: "Voldemort has three loyal Death Eaters, and there are so many secret locations of those pure-blood families that there are probably gaps in the information. ”
"So," Alan said, pulling out a piece of parchment from beside him, and quickly scribbling a few lines with the quill on the table.
Seriously injured, the body was torn and bleeding, and the newly formed body collapsed and had to escape.
Guess 1: There is a problem with the materials used in the resurrection.
Guess 2: There is a problem with the resurrection technique.
Guess 3: The ritual at the time of resurrection was interrupted by Harry, and there were sequelae.
Guess 4: Excess materials were mixed in during the resurrection.
Alan circled the first item with a quill.
"First of all, let's look at the resurrection ritual of Voldemort, according to Harry's account, the use of props should be the bones of the father, the flesh of the servants, and the blood of the enemy. Alan looked at Harry, who nodded.
"In the first place, there should be no problem with the flesh of a servant to be able to perform such a ritual, and to be able to do so at such a weak time, the loyalty of the Death Eater is beyond doubt. As for the blood of the enemy, I don't think there's anyone other than Headmaster Dumbledore's better suited than Harry's. Alan nodded at Harry.
"So, the question now is - Voldemort's father is most likely not his biological father, let's say there's a handsome teenager in the house next door or something. Alan said seriously that he knew it couldn't happen, and said that he was very happy at this moment.
It's a pity that the rest of the people didn't know about his problem in Pi, and they all talked about the possibility of this matter, and in the end, Dumbledore put the controversy aside with an uncertain attitude - seriously, the information has been so long, no one can say, you can't do a paternity test for Voldemort or something, and there is no such thing as this year, right?
"Well, that's going to be put aside for now. Alan circled the second line again, and there was a knock on the office door—it was Vice Chancellor, Professor McGonagall.
"Dumbledore, I sense you're back, Harry—" Professor McGonagall was about to ask the question when she saw Harry behind her, only to be stopped by Dumbledore with a booing gesture, "Sorry, we'll talk about that later, Minerva, we're doing a very important deduction right now." ”
"Alright, Alan, go ahead, very interesting inference. ”
"Yes, Headmaster. Alan nodded, analyzing the second item.
"More than ninety percent of the underage wizards in Britain have come to Hogwarts to study in the past hundred years, and we also have wizards from the surrounding areas, as well as some of the former Commonwealth countries India, Australia and other places, right?" Alan asked Dumbledore, looking at him squarely.
He had been asking this question for a long time - although he could not see the roster of admissions with his prefect's rights, he was vaguely aware of the distribution of students in the school, Parvati Petyr, the witch who was supposed to be Harry's dance partner, was an Indian shaman.
However, when it comes to personnel recruitment, in the past, no one except the principal is qualified to ask, so Alan can only stay put, and he didn't have time to ask questions until today.
Dumbledore's expression was not at all surprised, and he admitted the question very casually.
"Of course, Hogwarts has never been England-only, but what does this have to do with what we're discussing?" Dumbledore stared at Alan with curious eyes.
Of course it doesn't matter, I'm just curious. ’
However, this kind of thought obviously could not be spoken, and Alan quickly rounded the problem back in an extremely confident tone.
"It still has a lot to do with it, so there's a good chance we'll be able to determine and restore the Death Eaters' methods - combined with the question just now, we can now confirm that those Death Eaters are Hogwarts graduates, and I think their Potions grades are still in the Hogwarts archives. Alan reluctantly made an excuse to get over the topic and ask new questions.
Hogwarts is so big, there is still a place for the archives.
In fact, the Ministry of Magic should have had a backup, and given the age of the three Death Eaters, their files were never destroyed.
"What does it matter, Alan?" asked Harry involuntarily.
"It matters," Professor Snape said suddenly: " Potions is a sophisticated subject, and as far as Potter's description goes, Voldemort's resurrection methods are undoubtedly biased towards the Potions type, as long as we identify the identities of the three Death Eaters, we can find out their Potions class results from the school files, and combine the memories of the professors to understand how they behaved in Potions class, and where they usually went wrong, so as to judge what kind of mistakes they made in that resurrection ritual. ”
"But after all these years of graduation, how can they not improve?"
It was clear that Harry didn't want to talk, but curiosity overcame his dislike of Professor Snape.
Of course, Harry's response was not expected by Professor Snape's disdainful eyes and mocking tone.
"Of course, it's easy to judge, some idiots like to spin the copper rod in their hands when they stir potions, some fools like to carry a silver knife when they cut potions, and some like to look around instead of staring at potions while they are boiling—" Alan blushed at Harry's face, apparently referring to him.
"Those small actions that form habits are extremely difficult to change in the future, especially when the other party is not engaged in potions-related work, those small actions and mistakes can no longer be corrected, and the biggest factors affecting the effect of potions are these, as long as the person is determined, the reason for the mistakes of potions can not be found. ”
Alan glanced at Harry - there were other things that were wrong.
For example, after Harry learned to disarm the Charm, his first choice for most of the time was the Disarming Charm, and he didn't completely change it until he defeated Voldemort.
"But what's the use?" Harry asked, but Dumbledore interrupted Harry's question, "Don't be anxious, Harry. It's going to be said, Alan, you go ahead. ”
"Yes, Headmaster. Alan circled the third item with a quill.
"The after-effects of the interruption of the ritual - that is, the backlash of magic. Alan nodded, speaking very cheerfully.
"The more powerful the magic, the more serious the problems when it is interrupted, especially the resurrection, which can be called the top spell, must have serious sequelae when it is interrupted, but I don't have enough knowledge of black magic, and I don't have much research on this aspect-" Alan is not modest, but to be honest, he really doesn't know much about black magic.
Fortunately, there are wizards here who are more familiar with the existence of the dark arts than Dumbledore.
Professor Snape quickly picked up the conversation.
"It's easy to find the reason - although I've never been exposed to this powerful black magic, the principle of this magic can be roughly analyzed, especially if it's actually done most of the time when it's interrupted. ”
Professor Snape pulled out his wand and drew it in the air, revealing lines of pale pink text in the air - which made Alan suddenly regret it, he had completely forgotten about the wand writing.
"Expensive potions of unknown composition
Father's bones
Servant's meat
The blood of the enemy"
That's all the raw material for this ritual.
Well, Alan found that a staple food was missing, and he couldn't help but fill in the Voldemort plant.
"All three," Professor Snape said with his wand, drawing a line on them, "all of them were done quite well, but not only did they drag on too long in the last one, but they also attacked the cauldron where the ritual was located."
"The father's bones - it should be the part that makes up the skeleton of the new body, maybe it is just an introduction, but there is no doubt that if this operation is not wrong, there is no problem in reshaping the skeleton of the whole new body, that is, the regurgitation is not in the bones. “
In the same way, there should be no big problem with the flesh of the servant, and the problem should not arise in the flesh. ”
"So, if something goes wrong at this point, then the backlash should be in the blood, and what Harry saw later confirmed it. ”
Snape explained the role of the various steps of the resurrection ritual quite clearly, and the third analysis needed no more words.
"Thank you very much, Severus," Dumbledore nodded in acknowledgment, then looked at Alan again, who nodded to show that he understood what to do, and then continued with Professor Snape's words:
"Then we're left with one last guess - other impurities have appeared in the resurrection ritual. “
Alan forced a laugh with a serious expression.
"Yes, such a ritual should not have been mixed with anything else, but for now, we know of at least two, if not more, impurities. ”
"The two known impurities are said to be the blood of the Death Eater who bit Harry, and the saliva. ”
Alan heard the sound of things landing, from the three professors and their vice-principals, leaving Dumbledore more calm and Harry more calm.
"Robinter, stop kidding—this is not the time to joke!" Professor McGonagall reprimanded Allen's claim as she magically picked up the books on the floor.
Professor McGonagall wasn't to blame for this - she had been sitting in the school waiting for Dumbledore to retrieve Harry, and then went straight to the office when Dumbledore returned, only to hear a pretty big news when she came in.
Voldemort was resurrected, and Alan was still there dissecting Voldemort's resurrection ritual.
Although Dumbledore had spread the news that Voldemort was destined to return thirteen years earlier, even Professor McGonagall was a little nervous when it came to the end - Voldemort had brought so much fear to the wizarding world that a group of wizards could only call him a mysterious man.
Even if he is as tenacious as Professor McGonagall, he is still very shocked when facing Voldemort's return.
Fortunately, the later analysis relieved the professor a lot - listening to Allen's statement, it seems that Voldemort had some problems when he was resurrected, which caused his resurrection to be not very successful.
However, just as the professor was mentally preparing to face Voldemort, Alan suddenly talked about the Death Eater's saliva - is this the problem? Is it time to joke?
Even Professor McGonagall criticized Dumbledore's jokes regardless of the occasion, let alone Allen here.
However, to Professor McGonagall's surprise, what she thought was a joke actually caused the others to nod along - if it weren't for the fact that Snape's humor cells were dead, Professor McGonagall would definitely dare to count all the remaining people, including Dumbledore, one and all of them once.
"Alright, Minerva, I'll explain the rest, let's let Alan solve the problem at hand. Dumbledore asked Alan to continue with a calm face.
"The composition of the potion is precise, so even one more ingredient will cause irreversible changes, and the Death Eater will not be unscathed when he bites Harry, his gums will most likely burst in that situation, that is, Harry's blood must have been mixed into the pot at the end, there must be the saliva and blood of the Death Eater, if he catches a cold or has other diseases, I don't rule out the possibility of other impurities being mixed in. ”
"Wait, so how was Harry's blood added?" Professor McGonagall's three views were obviously shocked, and she couldn't help but ask the question again.
A mouthful of spit, a spit of Harry's blood, was spat directly into the pot where Voldemort was lying. Harry said with a smiling smile.
It's also quite amazing, some people are completely cold and spit, and some people, after being spit on, survived - resurrected from the pot!
It's a crucible instead of a pan, but it's amazing.
"This last item can already be confirmed, the blood swallow needed for resurrection is mixed with a large number of impurities, but we are not sure if the previous one has an effect on it. Alan put a circle on the last item, then pulled out a thread and wrote the word healing.
"Obviously, Voldemort will not accept that his dream resurrection will be destroyed like this, and I don't believe that he will have the courage to give up his current body again - even he himself cannot guarantee that he will return to the same state of extreme weakness after dying again, and it took him a full thirteen years to return to his current state of weakness last time, and if he dies again, no one can be sure how long it will take him to die. ”
"So, he will inevitably choose to heal himself - and such an injury, ordinary potions will definitely not solve the problem. Alan quickly wrote small words under the treatment, which were portions of medicinal herbs.
"These three herbs are the best ones to remove impurities from the blood, and most potion recipes will be used, these are the most cherished herbs commonly used when repairing magic backlash, and these are the herbs that are commonly used to purify potions. Alan pointed to the herbs one by one, and then added: "As for the first one of the rest, I don't know much, but obviously, I have to find the information of Voldemort's birth to see the cemetery of his neighbors." ”
"It's not a bit difficult to get a cemetery or something, but it's not too difficult to get these precious herbs, but the number on the market is quite limited, so we can monitor the circulation of these herbs to deal with the problem - if there is a large amount of herb usage on one side, it is not too difficult to find the person who bought it. If there is no movement in a few days, we can turn our attention to those who have stockpiled large quantities of herbs, have there been any unusual changes in their movements, have there been any unusual noises in their homes lately? ”
Alan put down his quill as he spoke—meaning he had said everything he wanted to say.
The final conclusion was not made up, but was inferred from the theft of Professor Snape's inventory.
Harry wanted to boil the polyjuice potion when he was in his second year, but he couldn't buy African tree snake skin at all, so he used a little trick to steal it from Professor Snape's office, and Barty Jr. went to Professor Snape's office to steal it when he was out of medicine when he dressed up as a mad-eyed man, Harry didn't use the cheek sac grass through the second competition, and Dobby set his sights on Professor Snape's inventory again...
It's a sad story, and everything is missing from Professor Snape's inventory...
Even if Professor Snape stepped down as Defence Against the Dark Arts professor in the future, a new Potions professor came in, and as a result, Malfoy stole a lot of compound potions in his first class...
While we silently mourned for the Potions professor, we also had to think about it.
That is- there are some precious materials, except for some special channels that can be obtained by Potions Professors and Herbology Professors, it is almost impossible to obtain them by normal means, which is why Alan dares to say that he controls the channels, because the amount of use is over there.
No, it's okay, once it's used, the chance of exposure is greatly improved, especially since Allen estimates that Voldemort himself doesn't know how to solve such a weird problem, and it takes a lot of attempts, which means that the consumption is greater, which means that monitoring becomes easier.
"Very good idea, I couldn't agree on more," Dumbledore clapped, clearly agreeing with Alan's proposal - a matter of course, as it was almost an attempt to kill Voldemort.
Bypass in the middle of the road, teleport on the order, squat in the jungle, play mahjong on the small road of five packs of two, and bully people with a lot of feelings.
Then Professor Snape made a gorgeous addition: "I'll go and find the Death Eater after the Potions class materials for the students in front of me have confirmed the identity of the Death Eater - so that we can lock down a few more herbs, and I think we will discuss it with Professor Sprout later, and this monitoring list may be a little more complete." ”
Professor, you hate him for not dying...
Alan glanced at Snape, and found that his expression was rarely a little excited, and he was immediately relieved, to be honest, if Voldemort really knew everything, it is estimated that Professor Snape's blood is better than Harry and Dumbledore's...
Say something about it.,Actually, Alan is now worried about the Potions class skills of the guy who has been operating at the same level as Neville when he goes to school - that's a lot of fun.,After they prepared for a long time, they found out that Tom had already hung up because of the sequelae of the non-standard potion process.,That's embarrassing.。。。
It's like a certain powerful person who reads the Taoist books all over the world, and after being invincible in the world with one hand, he goes out of the rivers and lakes to find that all the enemies are lying on the grave, how desperate the scene should be.
But Alan thought about it and rejected the idea - according to Professor Snape's usual frustration, although Voldemort's greatest ideal in life after his death was lost, he really did such a thing as jumping on Voldemort's grave...
Think about it carefully, in fact, Professor Snape is still very inspirational, putting aside the problems of emotional experience, in terms of personal achievements alone, from a student from a poor family who had to wear his mother's old clothes, he entered Hogwarts, painstakingly studied dark arts, studied potions, and finally the potions were at the top level in the country, and the dark magic made Dumbledore have to turn to him when he was injured, if it wasn't for revenge in his heart, but judging from the fact that he was able to change the mistakes in the textbook in the sixth grade, he might have been a master in potions at this moment。
Of course, this is not for sure - Professor Snape prefers dark magic, and most of his energy in Potions may be due to the fact that Lily was the best at herbalism during her lifetime, so if you think about it, if it weren't for Dumbledore's guidance, she might endure it for more than ten years, Voldemort or Snape who is more Dark Lord or two words...
