Chapter 1649: Harry and Hermione's Gift
Dumbledore's lamp extinguisher is an alchemical product designed and made by him, and it is invaluable.
As long as you turn on the lights-out, like a lighter, it can absorb nearby light sources, from flames to lights, in theory, as long as the storage space is large enough, it can even absorb all the light sources in an area, including sunlight, and return it when needed, which is very magical.
The light extinguisher only absorbs the light source and does not affect the object itself.
For example, if a candle is sucked away by a light extinguisher, the candle itself is not affected, it is still burning, and it will still feel the heat when it is close.
Removing the light source without affecting the operation of the luminous object itself is very powerful, and Evan is curious about the operation of the light extinguisher.
Of course, Dumbledore certainly didn't give Ron the absorber to study the principles of alchemy or simply use it to suck away the light source, this kind of thing can be done with other magic, and using the absorber may be more fashionable and advanced, but this is certainly not Dumbledore's purpose.
He probably cast some other spell on it, thinking it would help Ron.
Dumbledore gave Ron a lights-out, so what would he give to Aven, Harry, and Hermione?
The gift to Harry, as Evan probably knew, was the Resurrection Stone.
After finding the ring and the Resurrection Stone, Dumbledore said that he was not qualified to keep the Resurrection Stone, so he gave it to Evan for temporary safekeeping, but before the last action, he asked for the Resurrection Stone back to give it to Harry, this Deathly Hallows could not truly resurrect the dead, but it could help Harry understand the true meaning of death.
And only when the three Deathly Hallows come together will they be truly powerful, and Harry already has the Cloak of Invisibility, so it is only right to give him the Resurrection Stone.
As for the gifts for Evan himself and Hermione......
Scrimgeour looked closely at Ron and said in a questioning tone, "This light extinguisher is a valuable thing, maybe even unique. It must have been Dumbledore's own design, so why would he leave such a rare thing for you?"
Ron shook his head, dazed.
"Dumbledore must have taught tens of thousands of students. Scrimgeour stubbornly asked, "But why did he leave only the four of you in his will?" Mr. Weasley, what do you think you'd do with his lights-out?"
"I guess I put the lights out. Ron muttered, "What else can I do with it?"
Scrimgeour apparently didn't offer much advice, and he squinted at Ron for a moment before turning to Dumbledore's will.
"I left Miss Hermione Jane Granger with the hope that she would find it interesting and instructive. ”
Scrimgeour pulled out a small book from his bag, which looked as worn out as the one upstairs in Secret Dark Arts, with a speckled cover and peeling off in several places. Without saying a word, Hermione took the book from Scrimgeur's hand, placed it on her lap, and looked down.
The Tales of the Poet Pedou is a very old fable, and the stories in it have been passed down for centuries and have been published in many versions.
The edition that Dumbledore gave Hermione was also quite old, and Evan noticed that the title on the cover was written in ancient magical script.
He knew that there was a story about the "Legend of the Three Brothers" in this book, but he already knew the secret of the Deathly Hallows, and the book was useless to him, Dumbledore should know this, but why did he give it to Hermione, and what information was hidden in it?!
Apparently, Scrimgeour had the same doubts and suspicions.
"Why do you think Dumbledore left this book for you, Miss Granger?" he asked.
"He, he knew I liked books. Hermione said hoarsely, wiping her eyes with her sleeve.
"But why this book?"
"I don't know, he definitely thinks I'm going to like it. ”
"Have you talked to Dumbledore about passwords and other ways to pass on secret information?"
"No!" said Hermione, still wiping her eyes with her sleeve, "if the Ministry of Magic hasn't been able to discover the secret code in this book for thirty-one days, I'm afraid I can't. ”
She held back a sob, and Evan put his arms around Hermione and whispered comfort to her.
Scrimgeour snorted and didn't go any further, apparently unable to think of a better question, and turned back to the will, "What I left Harry James Potter is the Golden Snitch he caught in his first Quidditch match at Hogwarts to remind him of the rewards of perseverance and skill. ”
Scrimgeour pulled out the tiny golden ball the size of a walnut, and its silver wings flapped feebly.
"Why did Dumbledore leave this snitch to you?" asked Scrimgeour again.
"I don't know. Harry said, "Probably for the reasons you just read, to remind me of perseverance, what else is there...... What kind of harvest can be obtained. ”
"So, you think it's just a symbolic souvenir?"
"I think so. Harry said, "What else could it be?"
"I'm asking you. Scrimgeour moved his chair closer to the couch, and he seemed to think it was a breakthrough worth excavating.
At this time, twilight had really fallen outside, and the large tent outside the window towered above the hedges, so white that it was frightening.
"I just noticed that your birthday cake is in the shape of a snitch. Scrimgeour said to Harry, "Why?"
Before Harry could reply, Hermione let out a loud scoff, "Oh, it can't be that Harry is a great Seeker, that's too obvious, if I had to guess, maybe the Ministry of Magic or Mr. Minister would have thought that there must be a secret piece of Dumbledore's secret information hidden in the frosting!"
"I don't think there's something hidden in the frosting. "But the snitch itself is a wonderful place to hide little things, and I'm sure you know why?"
Harry shrugged, but Hermione replied, "Because the Snitch has a physical memory." ”
"That's right!" Scrimgeour said, "the snitch hadn't been touched by his bare skin, not even by the makers, and they were all wearing gloves. The Snitch has a magic that allows it to recognize the first person to touch it with their hands in case of a dispute when catching the ball. This snitch will remember your touch, Potter. It occurred to me that Dumbledore, despite all his shortcomings, was very skilled in magic, and he probably cast a spell on this snitch, which only you can open. ”
"I don't know. Harry said, apparently not like touching the snitch, and he probably thought Scrimgeour was right.
Evan guessed that the Resurrection Stone should be inside, and that it was not suitable for him to hand over to Harry, so it could only be handed over by Dumbledore in this way, and the Snitch had a spell on it as a matter of course, and only Harry could open it, but only when he needed to use the Resurrection Stone to pass the test.
Now, the gifts of Harry, Hermione, and Ron have been confirmed, and there doesn't seem to be any change from before, which is a little strange......
Also, what would Dumbledore leave for Aven?
