“emmm…… Mr. Gaunt, would you like to sit down at the table, for no other reason, and please forgive an old man with a battle-hardened cervical spine. ”

"If you hadn't had that sense of schadenfreude on your smile, Professor, I might have seriously considered it."

Luke sat in the high-backed chair of Dumbledore's office and said with a serious expression.

To be honest, although the chair in Dumbledore's office is good, I don't know if it will be older than Dumbledore. Not to mention Luke, even Dumbledore couldn't say for sure.

So in fact, sitting on a chair and sitting on a table are not comfortable, at least not as comfortable as the chair that Luke brought from home, but Luke still has to sit on the chair and talk to Dumbledore.

It is a symbol of equality.

Dumbledore finally agreed to Luke sitting in his chair. Or rather, it's just a joke in itself.

"The Philosopher's Stone is shattered?"

Dumbledore got straight to the point, but the question he asked surprised Luke.

"I thought you'd ask Voldemort where he was first."

Luke frowned slightly, and spoke.

"Enough to know he's alive."

As long as it is or, there will definitely be some movement. The rest of the work is his.

"Nicol asked me to tell you that the Philosopher's Stone was meant to be given to you. If it did what it should have done, then if it was broken, it would have died as it should. ”

Hearing this, Luke was struck by lightning. The little face was full of blows.

"If you said this earlier, you said it earlier, wouldn't I save some money? It's going to be scrapped somewhat! ”

Luke said bitterly: "Originally, I was thinking that even if I failed, I couldn't leave a stitch and a thread for the enemy, but I really used up all my energy!" ”

The Philosopher's Stone is not an endless source of energy, it contains a lot of energy, but after all, there is a limit to its use. According to Luke, when he is using it, he can extract the power in it without limit, and even dissipate the power, so the piece of land under his feet has also become a considerable range of gold fields.

Dumbledore looked at Luke's pain coldly, and Luke didn't care, but still showed a divine request of 'missing a hundred million'.

Dumbledore didn't ask those boring questions again, but looked at Luke in front of him with a serious face: "Did it really work as it should?" ”

He asked so calmly that Luke also put away the half-truths and half-truths on his face, and said with a blank face.

"If you were supposed to do it, I promise he did. The Philosopher's Stone was Harry took out of the mirror. ”

"And yours?"

Dumbledore's originally old and kind eyes still revealed a sharp light after all. His gaze was like a sharp knife, directed at Luke's heart.

Luke quietly turned on the Occlumency, and began to deliberately recall the stories he had heard about Dumbledore and Grindelwald.

Dumbledore's brow furrowed.

"You're ...... young"

"Professor McGonagall has several related storybooks on her shelves...... I think it's all handwriting. ”

Luke smiled sunnyly, in the eyes of those who don't know, he was really a cute little boy.

The corner of Dumbledore's eye jumped. But in the end, nothing was said.

"Answer my question. Have you achieved your goal? ”

Dumbledore gathered his thoughts and asked seriously. Looks like a grandfather who cares about whether his grandson has completed his summer homework.

Luke met Dumbledore's eyes, was silent for a long time, and finally spoke: "Although this has nothing to do with you, since you sincerely asked." ”

"I'm ...... Tell you generously. ”

"In the end, I wanted to get the Philosopher's Stone, but I couldn't help it, it was indeed because I was worried about the enemy, so I directly used the Philosopher's Stone. It doesn't even matter if he belongs to me in the end. ”

Luke looked serious, although his immature face made him look a little happy.

"I'm still sober enough in the face of big rights and wrongs."

"And the other goals, what should be achieved have been achieved, and what should be promoted has also been promoted."

The implication is ...... I have counted it myself, and you don't get involved in my affairs.

Dumbledore looked at Luke with a complicated expression, not knowing what he was thinking.

"You're really like him, Luke......"

Dumbledore spoke with three points of sadness in his tone.

I feel that in the next second, he will hurt the past and the present.

"Some people say I'm a lot like you, Professor." Luke interrupted Dumbledore's chanting and smiled slightly, "But I'm myself. Even if it's like you, it won't be you. ”

Dumbledore had nothing to say, and finally waved his hand, signaling for Luke to go out.

Luke gripped his wand in both hands, and two books flew from the shelves, levitating in mid-air as Luke's steps.

"Goodbye Professor."

Luke waved his wand again, and the two books flew back to their original positions, opening and closing them twice before leaving, making a sound like applause, as if to bid Luke off.

Dumbledore looked at the one "The Uses of Fire Dragon's Blood" and the other "A Simple Understanding of Alchemy" and fell into a deep silence.

"Really...... Unflattering little guy. ”

Of course, Dumbledore could understand Luke's behavior.

Of course, Luke didn't have to please him, just like he had talked about with Lucius Malfoy in the drawing room of the Ministry of Magic, and he knew that sometimes, he might have to rely on the energy of this little guy.

It's not a shame to say.

No one would find it a shame to rely on the patriarch of a pure-blood family.

Even if the patriarch is just a child.

……

The campus can be said to be in a real carnival, although the vast majority of students still don't want to admit that Harry defeated Voldemort, so it gradually becomes rumored that they have defeated a Death Eater who aims to resurrect Voldemort.

The professors neither supported nor opposed the amendments and did not participate in any of the amendments, so such a statement became the mainstream statement.

Actually, it's not wrong, although the later Quirrell may not really resemble the resurrection of Voldemort, but he can be regarded as a Death Eater.

"So you didn't kill Voldemort in the end?"

In a hidden corner, Taylor crouched on the ground, looking at little Luke in front of him.

Luke's face was painful: "Don't be like this, it looks like I'm so short......"

Luke's original height was quite competitive among his peers. Although it is not as strong as the crowd, it is much higher than the average first-year student.

Taylor didn't care about his complaints, stretched out his white finger and poked Luke's fat cheek, and said, "Hurry up!" ”

After Luke became what he is now, Taylor and Hermione, who were still a little in awe of him, completely lost the few 'fears' they had.

No matter how scared you are, when you can frantically rub the other person's face that feels quite good, it is difficult to show majesty or something.

"There's no point in killing him. You see, what a whetstone, this time was an experimental level that tested Harry's heart and my abilities. As long as he doesn't play around, he can even be a great dumping target. ”

"Even if it's really your fault, as long as you can show a little evidence that it's Voldemort's problem, the Ministry of Magic will be crazy to excuse you, and even willing to say that you are not guilty."

The premise of this is that the forces behind you must be hard enough. So hard that the Ministry of Magic itself doesn't have a very good way to deal with you.

"So you let it go on purpose?"

Taylor couldn't figure it out, and it seemed like a big enemy......

"A target with enough weight, why give up so easily." When Luke said this, his innocent face, coupled with his big eyes, really made Taylor a little speechless.

After a moment of silence, Taylor said with a serious face.

"You were really cute when you were a kid."

Luke opened his mouth, then took a deep breath, "Thank you, but I think I'll be happier if you don't say that." ”

"What the hell is going on with you?" Taylor watched as Luke decisively asked his most curious question as the topic reached this point.

"The Philosopher's Stone can make people immortal, and to a certain extent, rejuvenate. Directly absorb the powerful magic power inside, and the price of having the courage to strengthen yourself is this. ”

Luke said calmly: "Fortunately, this side effect did not randomly reach the second one. If I had a golden left hand now, maybe I'd have a little more of a headache. ”

“…… No, maybe it's better to turn it into gold......"

It's always bad for that, but now in the middle of a trouble, it's natural to regret not making another choice.

Despite the fact that both of them are troublesome.

Taylor just chuckled.

But under Luke's somewhat resentful gaze, she still asked seriously, "Then when will you recover?" ”

Luke frowned slightly, and then said, "Maybe I have to wait until I digest the magic power of the remaining magic stones in my body." ”

He was still somewhat sure of this conclusion, after all, he occasionally used the magic in the Slytherin wand to snake. Again, it will not be restored until the residual mana has been purified.

But when he thought of this, Luke suddenly froze, because if there was still a snake scale on his body. It's not big, but it's quite conspicuous.

And he had completely taken the remnants of the last serpentine into his possession. In other words, there is indeed a certain chance that he is in his current state...... Will it go on forever?

Longevity!

His original 11-year-old face was already not easy to manage his subordinates, and now that he has become smaller, it will directly make some people draw question marks or even crosses on him!

However, the stiffness on his face, this time Taylor did not pay attention.

"Philosopher's Stone, ......"

Her tone was full of emotion and complexity. There seems to be a little regret, but more of a relief.

"Since it's broken, I don't have to expect anything." Taylor thought to himself, "After all, something like the Philosopher's Stone is a bloody storm everywhere ......"

If it spreads, then the Philosopher's Stone will really become a symbol of strife.

Immortality turns stones into gold, the ultimate in alchemy. Who can resist such a temptation?

Thinking so, Taylor saw a flash of red light in front of his eyes.

When she came back to her senses, she saw that Luke had handed her a red stone.

Taylor looked at the red stone, feeling the magic fluctuations and vigorous vitality contained in it, and gradually overlapped with the image of the magic stone he saw from the book.

She subconsciously stretched out her hand, ready to take the Philosopher's Stone. But soon, as if he had been electrified, he quickly withdrew his hand, and then shook his head desperately: "No, this thing...... It's so precious. ”

Luke tilted his head and said, "So I'm just lending it to you." ”

Taylor was a little sluggish when he heard this.

It's like this, but can you not say that?

Luke said nonchalantly: "Oh, don't take it too seriously, if it wasn't really mine, I would have used it up at the time." ”

"I'm lending it to you now because it's useful for you, and I'm really useless for the time being."

"What's more, if it weren't for the bottle of Flame Piercing Elixir you prepared for me this time, I wouldn't have been able to get this thing. After all, to be honest, I'm really a little craving for this stuff. If it weren't for Harry, I wouldn't have gotten it. ”

Luke wasn't all about comforting Taylor, after all, Taylor's role was really big, releasing news, finding prescriptions, and brewing potions.

If at first, Luke was a little distrustful of the man who offered to help. By now, Luke has found himself a little inseparable from Taylor's assistance.

"So, calmly and gratefully, take it. If this had been tens or hundreds of years ago, I would call it a reward. But for now, Taylor, accept a gift from a friend. Although the posture is temporarily borrowed. ”

Luke shoved the Philosopher's Stone into Taylor's hand and turned away without hesitation.

He is very willing to make people grateful to him, because kindness is a powerful chain that binds a person.

But with Taylor, he didn't want that.

Taylor's gratitude to him would make him a little sick to his stomach just thinking about it. Between them, there is no need for this.

"Thank you."

Taylor looked at Luke's back, still laughing and whispering.

Looking at the stone in his hand, which represented wealth and life, Taylor knew that he really did not believe in the wrong person.

After putting away the stone in his hand, he returned to the hustle and bustle of the students.

Of course, Luke doesn't have that in mind now.

He just wanted to be quiet now.

Don't ask him who Jingjing is, this terrier is too old.

……

"Who stole mine!

！

”

The exclamation from Professor McGonagall's office is unknown as to who caused it.
