"Albus, since the Dark Mark is here, will that person ......" Professor McGonagall said worriedly, her lips pursed together with an unusually serious expression. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"I don't think so, Minerva!" Dumbledore said calmly, "my sources indicate that he is still in the Albanian forest. It's been a lot of buzz in the neighborhood lately, and there's been so much going on, I don't think he has the energy to take care of the Hogwarts situation for the time being, and he won't hide behind the scenes and plot any conspiracy. ”

Hearing Dumbledore's words, Snape's brow twitched unnaturally.

No one but him knew what Dumbledore was referring to when he said about the excitement of the Albanian forests.

Sirius hesitated, as if he wanted to ask, but in the end he didn't say anything, he lowered his head again, and looked at Evan on the hospital bed with a melancholy expression.

Voldemort didn't return to Hogwarts, he hadn't regained his strength yet, and the Dark Mark was just what he had left here.

But this incident did not make everyone in the ward much happy, and there was a moment of silence, and everyone was looking at the unconscious Aivan.

Harry thought of Voldemort in the Albanian forest, and of Sirius on the way back about the Dark Mark.

Thirteen years ago, the most terrifying time in the wizarding world.

Every time Voldemort and his followers killed someone, they had to display the Dark Mark in the air.

In a sense, this mark represents Voldemort himself, meaning death.

Now, the Dark Mark has reappeared at Hogwarts, and Evan has been struck by Voldemort's Dark Magic, what will happen to him?!

Death, the word came back to Harry's mind repeatedly.

He felt very bad and hurriedly shook his head to shake the thought out.

"What the hell happened to Aven?" Hermione asked, choking up, wiping tears from her eyes.

"Not dead yet!" said Snape, full of malice, "and he's lucky that the magic stone in his hand has eased the power of the curse. ”

"And what about the little black snake around his wrist?" asked Harry.

"I don't think your empty head can understand my detailed explanation of this cursed magic. Snape sneered, "You just need to know that as long as Mason keeps this philosopher's stone with him, he will be able to stop the power of the curse from spreading in his body without losing his life." ”

Hearing this, everyone's nervous expressions eased slightly.

As long as Evan always carries the Philosopher's Stone, nothing will happen to him.

"And when will he wake up?" asked Hermione hurriedly.

Snape snorted coldly, seemingly disdainful of answering such a stupid question.

He looked at the small black snake on Aven's wrist again, and his eyes fell on the snake's head.

There was an awkward silence in the room, and Hermione wasn't sure if she should follow in, but she was afraid to disturb Snape, who was observing Aven's condition.

"Anytime!" Dumbledore said mildly, raising his head, "Miss Granger, Mr. Mason could wake up at any moment, and the magic of restlessness has calmed down. ”

His calm pale blue gaze slowly swept across everyone's faces, giving everyone great confidence, and finally landed on the red ** magic stone that Ai Wen held tightly in his right hand.

Dumbledore seemed to be suddenly interested, and pulled out his wand and tapped on it.

"It's amazing, it's amazing!"

He couldn't help but admire, his pale blue eyes flashed, "I have to say, this magic stone, from an alchemy point of view, ......"

"I'm sorry, Headmaster!" Snape interrupted him abruptly, a cold smile reappearing on his lips.

He looked at Sirius with malice and said in a long voice, "I don't think it's time to praise a stone, the Dark Mark has appeared in the school, a student has been mortally cursed, and someone must be held accountable for it. ”

"Severus......" Dumbledore frowned.

"I don't think anyone is fit to stay in the school as a professor!" Snape said defiantly, staring at Sirius, "without permission to sneak into the Forbidden Forest with a bunch of fools who are not afraid of death, and I can't even tell the cursed dark magic items, I can't think of any reason for him to stay here." ”

"Shut up!" Sirius clenched his fist and immediately let go, "This matter is because of me, and I'm willing to be punished for whatever time Evan wakes up." ”

"It's great, but I don't think you ......" Snape stopped suddenly.

On the bed beside him, Aven's head moved slightly, waking up.

After a few seconds, Evan opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was Dumbledore's calm, pale blue eyes.

His tense nerves finally relaxed, and behind Dumbledore were Sirius, Professor McGonagall, Harry, Ron, and Hermione with a concerned face.

Hermione's face was full of joy, but her nose and eyes were red, and this silly girl must have cried so much during the time she was unconscious.

Evan looked up, and he saw a gloomy Snape trying to shrink himself into the shadows in the corner, as if hoping to go unnoticed.

Outside the door to the ward, Madam Pomfrey and Centaur Ferencze were standing.

"Professor, there's a curse on this Philosopher's Stone left by Gryffindor!" said Aven, "Voldemort left it behind, I ......"

"We already know, Mr. Mason!" Dumbledore said calmly, briefly explaining Aven's current physical condition.

"As long as I carry this Philosopher's Stone with me all the time, I'll be fine?!"

Evan looked at the red stone in his hand, and he could feel the powerful magic pouring out of it.

Immediately, his gaze fell on the slender snake on his wrist.

"I don't feel anything out of the ordinary, but this curse?" he asked, uncertain, remembering Professor Trelawney's prophecy.

This is the mark left by Voldemort, maybe he is the chosen one.

"The Philosopher's Stone, the curse, and the power of your body itself strike a delicate balance. Dumbledore whispered, "Mr. Mason, until we find a way to crack it, I hope you don't consume your mana as much as you did before." It is very dangerous to rashly upset this balance. ”

"And what should Evan do?" Sirius cried, "he can't live with Voldemort's curse forever, using magic with care. ”

"Whose responsibility do you think this is?!" Snape's voice continued to sting Sirius like a venomous snake, "Think about it, how are we going to give Mr. Mason's Muggle parents an account of believing in Hogwarts to send their children here, to a school they don't even know." But what is happening now, because of your recklessness and stupidity alone, we ruined a very promising little wizard. ”

Sirius was silent for a moment, rarely without retorting to Snape. (To be continued.) )
