Chapter 107: Graduation
The castle was a mess, all the students and teachers were a little overwhelmed, and they could only find an acquaintance to communicate with each other about what they knew, and for a while, various versions of the "truth" came out one after another.
After a long time, Ios was found by someone sent by Dumbledore, who was with Fleur when she was frightened by the attack of the controlled Krum in the labyrinth, and he had to comfort her.
"Mr. Sowal, Headmaster Dumbledore is looking for you."
"I see." After answering, he looked at Fleur.
"Go ahead, I'm fine." Fleur just smiled understandingly, and then urged him to hurry away.
Soon, he arrived at the principal's office and knocked on the door.
"Please come in." Dumbledore's voice came from within, and there was a vague sense of old age and tiredness in it.
Entering the room, he saw Dumbledore sitting in a chair, looking like an ordinary old man rather than the greatest white wizard of the present time.
"Are you looking for me, Professor Dumbledore?" He sat directly in the chair across from Dumbledore and asked.
"That's right, Voldemort is resurrected." At this point, he paused to observe Ios' reaction, until he noticed that he had been acting very flat, and then a strange color flashed in his eyes, and then he continued, "So I want to unite those who can recognize the situation. ”
"Then your first choice should be the Ministry of Magic."
"That's right, it's a pity that Fudge doesn't want to recognize the facts, and he chooses to escape reality rather than face it." Dumbledore said regretfully, then looked at Ios, "But, I don't think you're a short-sighted person like him. ”
"So what? Tell me straight, what are you looking for me for, to help you fight Voldemort? Seeing that he was still beating around the bush and not going straight to the point, Ios interrupted him directly.
"Yes, I want you to join the Order of the Phoenix. You're the most gifted wizard I've ever seen in my decades of life, not even Voldemort and I can compare to you, and if you join, we'll be one step closer to success. Dumbledore stared at him with burning eyes.
"I'm more than willing to help you, but it's okay to join the Order of the Phoenix, I have a lot of personal things to do, but I can help you." After thinking about it, Ios refused directly, but didn't say anything to death.
"It's a pity, but thank you for your willingness to help." Dumbledore sighed, then asked casually, "If you don't mind, can you hear what you're going to do, maybe I can help you." ”
Seeing that Dumbledore still didn't give up, he replied, "I'm going to look for the Resurrection Stone in the Deathly Hallows, I wonder if you've heard of it?"
Although Dumbledore was silent on the surface, he could still detect a flash of surprise in his eyes, and he was silent for a long time before finally speaking, "What are you looking for it for?" And aren't the other two Deathly Hallows interested? ”
"The rest doesn't work for me, the Elder Wand is just a powerful wand, and I'm already strong without it. As for the Cloak of Invisibility, I can be invisible without it, it's really useless. Ios spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders with a helpless expression.
"As for the Resurrection Stone, it is rumored to have the power to resurrect the dead, and I am curious about it and want to know what its principle is. In other words, I want to look into it. ”
Dumbledore looked at him deeply, and from what he had just said, he heard a strong sense of confidence, which made him adjust his evaluation of Ios again, and realize that he had underestimated this young man in the past.
I am already old, and it will be the time of these young people in the future. He couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and then he said to Ios, "If I can help you find it, will you join the Order of the Phoenix?" ”
"If you can, then I'd love to." Ios smiled and nodded, he had already seen the scene where Dumbledore handed the Resurrection Stone to himself.
After thinking about it, he added: "Actually, the easiest thing to do is to find the exact location of Voldemort, and then I will go and destroy him directly." Since you were killed the first time, you can kill the second time. ”
"On that note, it's a shame that Voldemort wasn't that easy to kill." Seeing what Ios wanted to say, he then added, "It's not a matter of strength, it's Voldemort who has taken some means to prevent his own death. ”
Seeing Ios' thoughtful look, he continued, "If we can't find out what means he used, then even if he is killed again this time, he may be resurrected again in a few years, just like now. ”
"It's true that he deserved to die in that accident, but he has survived tenaciously until now and has not become a ghost."
"yes. Our next mission for the Order of the Phoenix is to stop Voldemort from doing anything dangerous, but Harry has come back alive and told me the news of Voldemort's resurrection, so that I can take measures in time.
In addition, we need to find those resurrection methods that Voldemort is hiding so that we can kill him once and for all. Of course, it's certainly not easy, but there's always a way, isn't it? He winked at Ios.
Don't sell cuteness when you're old, okay! Ios ignored his small gestures and thought about it seriously.
Next, the two discussed Voldemort-related issues for a long time, and even Dumbledore had to admit that Ios was not much worse than him in terms of knowledge, and what was lacking was only the precipitation of time, which made him repeatedly improve his evaluation of Ios.
Whenever he tried to raise his opinion of the young man as much as he could, it wouldn't be long before he realized that he was still underestimating him, until at last, he found that in terms of theoretical knowledge, Ios was one of the few in the wizarding world.
It wasn't until near midnight that the two ended their conversation, which gave both of them a sense of relief, it had been a long time since they had met someone with whom they could discuss magic on their counterparts, and that was exactly what happened in the heights.
In the days that followed, Ios prepared for his N.E.W.T, or Advanced Wizard Rank Exam, while dealing with some of the tasks Dumbledore had given him.
Although it was troublesome, thinking that it wouldn't take long for him to get the resurrection stone, he was full of energy.
Not surprisingly, he once again got a full O score in the exam, and even the Ministry of Magic immediately submitted a recruitment offer, but he refused, the work of the Ministry of Magic is only how much money, which is more free and expensive than writing a book by himself.
However, passing the Advanced Wizard Level Exam means that he has graduated!
