Chapter 371: Cracking Methods and New Journeys
"Tut-tut, the future star of the wizarding world has fallen!" Snape looked at Evan with malice, "As long as this curse exists, even if Mr. Jack-of-all-trades masters more magic in the future and uses it, he can only show that he is at the level that a wizard of his age should have, which is a sad thing."

Instead of hearing any sadness in Snape's words, Evan was filled with a thick sense of sarcasm, which he was using to attack himself and Sirius.
From having the magic power of a top adult wizard to falling back to the level of an ordinary twelve or thirteen-year-old wizard, the gap is not half a star, and it is difficult for ordinary people to accept.
However, Evan didn't feel anything, his powerful magic came from a little inexplicable, it was the Slytherin locket that absorbed thousands of years of accumulation in the underground ruins, and it was forcibly infused into his body, and he hadn't had time to adapt to it.
The sudden increase in strength leads to a weak foundation, and problems can easily arise.
He'd rather be tempted to suppress his magic for a while, giving him more opportunities to hone his spell-casting skills instead of relying on his power to solve all his problems.
Perhaps, this is the main reason why Gryffindor knew that the Philosopher's Stone had Voldemort's curse on it, and insisted on letting him touch it.
"Of course, it's not a mistake to behave normally!" Snape continued, "but I have to warn you that you better pray and never appear in front of that person, or he can trigger this curse at any time if he wants to and take your life, although he can do it with other magic." ”
Evan frowned, not being able to appear in front of Voldemort, it wasn't a bad thing.
In the near future, in the second semester, Voldemort and his minions will use the Goblet of Fire to engage in a shocking conspiracy and eventually return to the flesh.
Although Peter Pettigrew had been imprisoned in Azkaban, Evan didn't think Voldemort would do nothing, and he would definitely try to catch Harry.
The only strange thing was that Voldemort had this opportunity when Harry was in his first year.
Why didn't he do it then, would it be better to restore his strength with the help of the Philosopher's Stone than that magic?!
Evan shook his head and didn't think about it anymore, he only knew that after Voldemort's return, a head-on collision was essential, and he couldn't hide from the other party all the time.
"Is there any way to break this curse?!" Sirius clenched his fists, "I'm willing to help Evan at any cost if I can." ”
"It's your fault," Snape said viciously, "and you don't seem to believe me, and don't think the solution I'm talking about ......"
"Severus!" Dumbledore reminded again, accentuating his tone.
The hatred that had just appeared on Snape's face turned into a sneering sneer on the corner of his mouth in an instant, "To unlock this curse, we must know what kind of magic it is, and if you are willing to ask the Dark Lord himself, maybe he will be merciful to tell you." ”
"What else?" asked Dumbledore calmly.
"Also, I noticed that this magic stone is cracked, and Mason is lucky, the magic in this stone has a strong healing effect on the curse. Snape reluctantly said, "Find the remaining half of the Philosopher's Stone, and it might work." ”
"In that case, we have two solutions!" Dumbledore nodded, satisfied, "I have a clue about both options. ”
Hearing his words, everyone looked at Dumbledore in disbelief.
Even Snape looked surprised, his eyes narrowing together.
Neither of the two solutions he just said was very difficult, and it was almost impossible to do in the eyes of ordinary people, but Dumbledore actually said that he had clues.
Ask Voldemort what the curse he left behind is not to even think about it. As for finding the other half of the Philosopher's Stone, it was also very difficult, and after the Centaur Civil War eight hundred years ago, no one knew where the Fallen Centaur had run with the Philosopher's Stone fragments.
After all this time, the Fallen Centaur clan may have been extinct long ago, after all, there is no place where the evil god really appears.
If there is no extinction, then the current situation could be even worse.
They may be hiding in dark corners, secretly gathering strength and plotting to summon the evil gods once again.
After Dumbledore said that he had a clue, the ward was full of surprises, no one doubted Dumbledore, everyone had long been accustomed to his omnipotence.
"Professor, what are we going to do?" Evan asked hurriedly.
Sirius, Harry, Ron, and Hermione were also asking Dumbledore about it, wondering what the clues he had just said.
"Don't be in a hurry, we have to come one by one!"
Dumbledore waved his hand and motioned for everyone to be quiet, "First of all, I'm going to go to the Ministry of Magic, and I have to have a warrant from the Minister of Magic to get there, and I have to explain to Fudge about tonight, the appearance of the Dark Mark is not a joke, even if not many people notice. ”
Evan was stunned for a moment, and went to the Ministry of Magic to find Fudge to ask for a warrant?!
He didn't know where Dumbledore was referring to, what kind of place he was talking about, and he had to ask the Minister for Magic permission to enter.
He looked into Dumbledore's eyes, his head racing, and then he thought of something.
Evan recalls that a few months ago, when he had told the Headmaster alone about catching Peter Pettigrew, he had mentioned that Peter was in Professor Lupin's office, hoping to use the solution to Voldemort's curse left in the centaur tribe and begging him to let him go.
He remembered that the other party had said that without that way, he would never have gotten the Philosopher's Stone left by Gryffindor.
Evan didn't care at the time, but now it seems that this is the case.
This is indeed part of the clue, and since Peter Pettigrew knows the way to break the curse, it can be deduced what the curse is.
In this case, it is necessary to ask Peter Pettigrew.
This guy is currently in the Azkaban Wizard Prison, guarded by numerous Dementors, and must get permission from Fudge to get there.
Although there was no communication, Dumbledore seemed to already know what Evan was thinking, and he nodded, confirming that Evan was right.
"While this curse hasn't had much of an impact on Mr. Mason at the moment, I think it has to be cracked as quickly as possible!" Dumbledore said, "I'm going to take him on a quest for these two clues, and if nothing else, we'll probably be away for a long time." (To be continued.) )
