Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Resurrection Stone (Ask for Recommendations!) )
Early the next morning, Hermione sat at the table eating breakfast with a red face, because Glenn and Mrs. Gran went to her room in the morning and didn't find her, but when they went to call Egg, they found Hermione holding him in Egg's bed, sleeping soundly...
When they woke up in the morning, Hermione and Iger had to face the ambiguous stares of the two of the Grangers, which made them feel terrible.
Thankfully, the sun was shining this morning, and the weather was clear, which made Egg feel a little better, and he planned to wait a little longer to go to Number 4 Privet Road to see how Harry was doing.
Although Harry lived not close to London, Iger didn't care, and he didn't have the concept of distance in his eyes.
The atmosphere at the Granger's table this morning was extremely weird, several people were eating silently, Leah was picked up by Aisha last night, and there were only four people in Granger's house at this time, and there was a house-elf...
Egger was eating breakfast in a trance, thinking about the second grade, and then Egg's face changed suddenly, and he suddenly thought of a very serious matter.
Egger's face was cloudy as he ate, he just remembered that he had helped Harry change his relationship with the Dursleys, which meant that the Dursleys might not lock up Harry this year, which meant that Harry might not arrive at the Weasleys earlier, so it was likely that things would be disrupted after that, and Ginny might not get the diary...
Egger's face darkened, and for the first time he experienced the fucking nature of the butterfly effect...
Egg hesitated, the only thing he was sure of now was that the diary was still in Malfoy's house, which was terrible...
After thinking about it, Egg hurriedly finished his meal, said hello to the Grangers, and a phantasm departed.
With a 'snap', Egg appeared in Dumbledore's headmaster's room dizzily, holding on to the cabinet on the side in a daze, Egg muttered dizzily: "Old Deng? ”
"Here, kid," Dumbledore's old voice came from behind him, "what are you doing against the wall?" ”
"Oh..."Egger shook his head, "Let's go!" Gaunt's old house! ”
"Egger, I'd suggest you'd better rest for a while, the apparition that spans hundreds of kilometers and forcibly breaks Hogwarts' confines isn't as pleasant as you think..."Dumbledore waved his hand, and Egg slowly floated to the soft chair next to him.
"I think so," said Egg, in a daze, "can you bring me a glass of chilled lemonade?" That stuff has a good effect on nausea. ”
A few seconds later, a glass of lemon juice appeared in Egger's hand, and Egger squeaked and drank the lemon juice, feeling a lot better.
"So... What's next? Dumbledore looked at Egg curiously, "Well, I'd love to know how you found out about Gaunt's mansion, but I don't ask, what are you going to ask for this time?" ”
"We'll talk about that later." Egg shook his head and motioned for Dumbledore to hurry up.
Dumbledore stood up helplessly and beckoned to Fawkes, who looked a little old on the side, Fawkes flew over and disappeared with the two of them in an instant.
Half an hour later, in front of a small dilapidated shack, Egg looked around carefully.
"There are traces of magic..."Dumbledore waved his wand, and the protective magic in the shadows was erased by Dumbledore, and the two pushed open the door with the rotten snake bone and walked inside.
A puff of dust hit the house, and Egger waved his hand expressionlessly, and the dust disappeared instantly.
The house was rudimentary, with a dilapidated table, a broken cabinet, and a thick layer of floating ash on the kerosene lampshade on the wall, which looked like it had not been inhabited for many years.
Iger walked over to the cabinet and reached open it, revealing a delicate ring with a black gemstone on it.
Egger tapped his wand a few times, and after confirming that there was no evil spell, he reached out and picked up the ring: "Looks like the protection here is trying to lure someone else to get this stone, Professor... Don't cast spells on me behind my back! ”
Egg jerked around to block a silent stun spell.
"It seems... Severus is dedicated to your guidance. Dumbledore sighed, looked at Egg apologetically, and his lips trembled slightly, "I'm sorry, Egg, I was confused..."
"I understand you, Professor..."Egger shook his head helplessly, "But we don't have to work for a while, I think we should go back." ”
Dumbledore nodded, grabbed Egg's arm, and a fire appeared in the air, Fawkes grabbed Dumbledore's shoulder, and the two reappeared in the headmaster's room.
Iger took the ring, climbed to the cupboard, took the Sorting Hat off, and reached for it, and a silver sword encrusted with rubies appeared in Egger's hand.
As soon as Gryffindor's sword appeared, the ring suddenly became agitated, and it continued to struggle in Egger's hand, as if it was about to flee.
Egger put the ring on the ground, and slashed the ring with a sword in his hand, a terrible scream sounded, and the black air wave rolled, Dumbledore slammed in front of Egger to block the impact for him, and the black stone flew high and fell into Egg's hand.
"Thank you, Professor," Egg grinned, casually tossing the Resurrection Stone to Dumbledore, "I'll wait for you outside the door, I'll come back in an hour, the stone is yours, but it must be kept for me." ”
Dumbledore didn't answer Egger's words, just looked at the black stone in his hand in a daze, and Egg turned and walked out the door, unable to help but breathe a sigh of relief.
This is really lucky, Egger guessed correctly, Dumbledore wanted to put it on his hand the moment he saw the ring, but fortunately he reacted quickly enough, otherwise old Deng Tou would have gg early...
It seems that the old man should have recognized what the black stone on this ring was right away...
He could understand the longing in Dumbledore's heart, and he could understand how heavy the sorry voice that had not been uttered in a hundred years, this old man just wanted to say sorry to his sister in person...
Egger sat in front of the stone statue at the door of the headmaster's office with his chin held for a long time, and finally, in the headmaster's room, Dumbledore's voice came out.
"Come in, Egger."
Iger pushed the door and walked in, Dumbledore was wiping his eyes with a handkerchief, and when he saw Iger come in, Dumbledore put on his half-moon glasses and looked at Egg with a smile in his eyes: "I want to thank you, Egg." ”
"Yes, or you'll hang up..."Egg smiled, "But I don't want the professor to be obsessed with this stone." ”
"No, that's not what I'm talking about, trust me, Egg, I'm a little confused just now, but you can't doubt the determination of a powerful wizard." Dumbledore smiled and nodded, "There is a curse on that ring, I want to thank you for stopping me just now, otherwise my death would not have brought any benefit to people before such a new generation has grown up." ”
"Death brings sorrow only to the living, Professor." Iger shook his head: "It's irresponsible to put your hopes in the new generation, and I don't think you should be like that." ”
"Besides, I still have the Philosopher's Stone, and trust me, I won't let you die so painfully," Egg muttered, and Dumbledore laughed at what he said.
"I'm curious, what do you want this time?" Dumbledore's eyes looked at Egg calmly.
"I haven't thought about it yet, I'm just expecting things to deviate..."Egger helplessly spread his hands: "So I want to make up for some of the losses in advance before things get worse." ”
"So... You still have plenty of time to think about what you want. Dumbledore smiled and nodded, "As for the deviation you said, do you want me to help you solve it?" ”
"I don't think it's needed for the time being, let's wait and see what happens." Egg sighed leisurely, "The sun is good this summer, Muggle TV is forecasting a long sunny day, and I'm going to take Hermione out on a trip." ”
"Well, then, I wish you a pleasant trip." Dumbledore smiled and gently pushed the black Resurrection Stone, "But before that, I think... It's time for you to fulfill your vows with Seaver, and I'm going to follow your advice and give you this stone for safekeeping. ”
Egg nodded, put away the stone, and an apparition vanished into the office.
"That's a wicked thing, Albus, good student you taught!" On the wall portrait, Phineas frowns at the broken ring in Dumbledore's hand.
"But there's no denying that he's really good," Dumbledore nodded, "but now it seems that he's not the best." ”
"You should be glad—" Phineas nodded, then closed his eyes and stopped talking.
On the other side, in the living room of Aisha's house, Aisha had already left home early to go to work at the Ministry of Magic, and Snape was sitting on the sofa, his eyes staring at the small black stone in Egger's hand.
"An hour at most, Severus, this thing is going to drive you crazy." Egger still grabbed the small stone with some anxiety and said.
"It's a word..."Snape's expression remained unchanged, reaching out and grabbing the black stone from Egger's hand, Iger nodded slightly: "Don't let me down, you should have new expectations now." ”
Snape didn't answer Egger, but hurried upstairs with the rock.
"What's that, Egger?" Hermione asked softly as she walked into the room, looking at Egg.
Iger took a sip from his teacup and tilted his head: "A stone that allows you to see the dead, the legendary stone of resurrection." ”
"Can it really be resurrected?" Hermione looked at Egg in surprise.
Egg shook his head slightly: "It's just a kind of existence that is more real than ghosts and souls, but more illusory than real people, and it is indeed the one who died, but the restriction of yin and yang is not so easy to break, too dependent on that stone, and in the end it will only lead to painful suicide." ”
"Professor Dumbledore used this resurrection stone to meet his sister who had died because of his mistake, as well as his family...", Egg whispered, "While the impact of this stone may not be so kind, it is the only way for those in their minds to make amends." ”
Hermione nodded and sat down next to Egger obediently, "So... Who did Professor Snape see? ”
"I can't tell you Hermione." Iger shook his head: "It's a memory buried in Severus's heart, it's not a good thing to know about it too early, but I want you to remember one thing, that is, although Severus is not a good person, sinister, vengeful, mean, all of this can be found in him, but he is really great in some ways, and no one I have met has such great emotions and hearts as him, even Dumbledore, which is why I identify with him." ”
Hermione nodded as if she didn't understand, and after a while, there was a sound of footsteps upstairs, and Snape returned the resurrection stone to Egger with an expressionless face, and for a moment, Egg felt as if some kind of shackle had broken off on his body.
"It looks like you've seen her, and my vow has been fulfilled." Egger smiled: "But your oath is not over yet, at least until you die, you have to live well, otherwise there will be no one to help me make potions..."
Iger thought in pieces, and the corners of Snape's mouth moved, and he nodded slightly, then turned to leave.
"I'm a little worried, Egger..."Hermione hugged her legs on the couch, her two little toes moved restlessly in her purple and black stockings, "You're so good, silent spellcasting, wandless spellcasting, magic stone, resurrection stone, I really don't know if I can keep up with you..."
Egger was playing with the small black stone in his hand, and when he heard this, he turned his head and laughed evilly: "When did I say that I need you to follow in my footsteps?" ”
Hermione was stunned and looked at Egg with some grievances: "I just want to stand by your side with my chest held high..."
"Aren't you right now?" Egg was a little strange, and then reached out to pick up Hermione's two slender calves and put them in his arms, and reached out to rub the girl's immature little feet: "Oh my God, our Miss Know-It-All can have low self-esteem?" What about the first place in the age? It's incredible..."
Egger babbled in pieces, and Hermione on the side was amused by him, giggling and trying to pull back her little feet: "Don't be like this Egg, it's itchy..."
Egg threw Hermione down, his chin rested on the little girl's shoulder, and his beautiful blue eyes stared at Hermione's eyes tightly: "So... Can you tell me why you want to stand by me? ”
Hermione's face flushed, and she opened her mouth to say something, and then Egg put his finger on Hermione's lips, then leaned over and took the soft cleave in her mouth.
After a while, Egg raised his head and looked at Hermione, who was red and dripping with blood, with a smile: "You still don't say it, I feel that what you are going to say must be something inexplicable, so we still use practical actions to communicate..."
Hermione's mouth was slightly open, her face flushed and panting, Egg felt like she was committing a crime, and then shook her head, what about him, I'm only twelve years old...
Hermione is more than two months older than herself, and it's hard to say who committed the crime...
Half an hour later, Hermione leaned on Egger's shoulder with a red face, the sun shining outside the window, and the warm sunlight shining through the two of them.
"Egger, is there anything you want to do in the future?" Hermione asked, looking up at the blonde boy beside her with pretty eyes.
"With you, count?" Iger thought for a moment.
"And rightfully so!" Hermione laughed, "What about the others?" ”
"The rest is with Aisha," Iger said dryly.
Hermione snorted, "And what..."
"How about having four children?" Iger grinned: "You can let them enter different academies and watch them fight..."
