"Don't talk stupid, dead old man!" Moody scolded, dragging him with a hand, "Let's go, go back to the castle!"

Dumbledore had to go back and talk to the person who didn't exist: "Ariana...... Waiting for me ......"

The crowd dragged Dumbledore back to the Headmaster's office, but fortunately it was still early and no one saw him on the road, and Dumbledore sat on the chair for a long time as if he were paralyzed before he could regain his headmaster's majesty.

"Severus, can you see what this is? Dumbledore asked weakly.

"It seems to be a curse of life, an ancient curse to be cast at the cost of a part of one's own soul. Snape paced in the headmaster's room, "No one usually wants to cast such a curse, but apparently the Dark Lord doesn't care about this soul. ”

"In other words, the headmaster, in addition to his soul injury, is ** also cursed?" asked McGonagall nervously.

"That's right, soul damage...... It can recover a little, but the vitality is cursed...... It's disgusting, Dumbledore's magic is barely affected, but ** is constantly weakening, aging, and even ...... I can't hold my wand. Snape sneered sarcastically, "I'm looking forward to it...... Look at the person with the most magic in the world - he can't hold a wand. ”

"You-" Blake seemed to want to rush up to Snape, but was held down by Lupin.

"How long will I live. Dumbledore didn't seem to care.

"A few months...... Maybe a year," Snape said without saying a word, "I might be able to concoct a potion that suppresses that curse, and activates the life force in you, barely living for two years." ”

"Hmm-" Dumbledore nodded, pondering something.

"Don't bother, I can save your life. Lockhart stood up, and the entire office looked at him.

Lockhart pulled out a red gem, Dumbledore, Snape, and McGonagall recognized it at a glance, Moody looked at it suspiciously, and Blake and Lupin were at a loss.

"What is this?"

"Gildero, how did you get it!" Dumbledore's eyes instantly sharpened, and a huge spiritual power poured out, and he unceremoniously cast a rough dementor on Lockhart.

Lockhart took a few steps back, barely holding his Occlumency to resist: "Nicol Lemay gave it to me!"

Moody walked up to Lockhart in a few steps and blocked Dumbledore's gaze, "Calm down, you crazy old man!"

The huge spiritual power instantly retracted into Dumbledore's body, and Lockhart was very bad: "Dumbledore! ”

"I'm sorry, Gildero,...... This thing is not trivial, I have to figure it out - blame me, I was burned by Voldemort's soul, I should have thought that if Nicol did make the second one, he would definitely give it to the last person to help him erase his memory. Dumbledore sincerely apologized to Lockhart.

Lockhart grimaced and placed the Philosopher's Stone on Dumbledore's table.

Moody and Snape rushed over in a few steps, and Moody first held the Philosopher's Stone in his hand and observed.

"This is the Philosopher's Stone?" Moody made no secret of his greed, "Damn, if you want to take it, run." ”

"Show me, Madeye. Snape couldn't hide his excitement, "Brand new Philosopher's Stone!"

"Don't get excited, Nicol Lemay will give it to me, I'll show it, don't you guess it has a huge flaw. Lockhart sat back down on the couch.

"What a flaw, quick, little Gildero!" Moody looked back at Lockhart, and Snape turned to look at him.

"It's going to make people lose their magic forever, Headmaster Dumbledore should know. ”

Dumbledore nodded, and Moody reluctantly handed the Philosopher's Stone to Snape, who looked at it carefully for a moment and gave it to Dumbledore in admiration.

"Is this the real Philosopher's Stone?" asked both Lupin and McGonagall curiously.

"It's like a fake. Lockhart was too lazy to say.

"Well, the simplest plan I just thought of might be scrapped, so let's see how much power I have left to dispel the entire curse. Dumbledore picked up the Philosopher's Stone.

A burst of brilliant red light poured out of the Philosopher's Stone, enveloping Dumbledore, whose complexion changed at a speed visible to the naked eye......

"Stop when you're done dispelling the curse, Dumbledore, don't make yourself twenty years old, then you'll really be a Muggle. Lockhart reminded.

"You don't say I really have this urge. Dumbledore smiled and nodded, and put down the Philosopher's Stone.

"Sure enough, it's true, it's too obvious. Moody stared at Dumbledore's face, Dumbledore was in a better state than before he destroyed the ring, although he still had a white beard and white hair, but he exuded the air of youth.

"At what cost?" asked Lockhart curiously.

"It's not small, I've lost almost a quarter of my magic, but it's a good feeling to be young! Dumbledore said playfully. Lockhart was numb for a while, you are a dead gay, what are you pretending.

"Then, I'll give you back the Philosopher's Stone, almost half of the power in it has been used. ”

Lohart nodded and picked up the Philosopher's Stone, the luster of the Philosopher's Stone had dimmed a lot, but its aura was still strong.

"Gildero, lend me a look, maybe you can erase the Dark Lord's mark on me. Snape looked at Lockhart.

"I guess not, the Dark Devil Mark is a contract, not a ** injury. Lockhart threw the stone at Snape, who took it and injected it with magic, but he only looked a little younger, and he put it down in disappointment.

"Can you lend me some time to research, the greatest invention in the history of alchemy, which will be of great help to me in developing new healing potions. ”

"Give me a leg first!" Moody viciously snatched the Philosopher's Stone from Snape's hand.

"I don't know if I can restore the broken **......," Lockhart wanted to explain.

Moody brutally ripped off the prosthetic leg and injected magic into the Philosopher's Stone.

"Hahaha, it works!" Moody exclaimed cheerfully, his legs slowly starting to grow.

"Watch your mana drain rate, Alasto! it's permanently drained and won't recover!" Dumbledore snapped up.

"Within my acceptable range!" Moody exclaimed, unconcerned.

Half a minute later, a white and round new leg appeared in front of everyone.

"How much mana was lost?" asked McGonagall.

"It's a lot less than Dumbledore's, about a tenth. At least my combat effectiveness will increase a lot. Moody's said happily, "It seems that repairing a residual limb is less expensive than prolonging life." Why didn't you take it out sooner, little Gildero. ”

"It's amazing!" Lockhart tried to get the Philosopher's Stone back, "It's a healing artifact." ”

"However, wizard battles are rarely fought without arms and legs, and are of little use. Blake poured cold water over there, and Lockhart felt that it made sense, and instantly felt a little bit like the Philosopher's Stone was a chicken rib.

"Don't you restore your eyes, Alasto. Dumbledore asked with interest.

"No, the MONOCULUS is much easier to use than the naked eye. Moody said in a gruff voice, and performed a little trick with the magic eye, "Dumbledore, get me a pair of pants and shoes." ”

"What a waste of treasure!" Snape painlessly snatched the Philosopher's Stone to see how much energy was left inside, "Gildero, can you lend me some time to study." ”

"You feel free. Lockhart shrugged, "Give me back before the summer vacation, I travel with a sense of security." ”

"It's settled, I owe you a personal favor, Gildero. Snape walked out of the Headmaster's office with the Philosopher's Stone in his hand, Lockhart had never seen him so excited, what an academic lunatic.

"We've now destroyed two of Voldemort's Horcruxes, but we don't even know how many are left, let alone where. Dumbledore began.

"Keep looking, find them all!" Moody excitedly walked around the office on his new legs.

"I will, I'll go out looking for clues, I won't stay at school all the time, I'll leave this matter to you, Minerva. Dumbledore nodded, as if full of power, eager to turn out all of Voldemort's Horcruxes at once.

"You can go without worry, I will take care of the school, not to mention Severus and Gilderoy to help me. McGonagall agreed, she was used to being a headmaster, and Dumbledore was more of a spiritual leader.

"Thank you very much, I am now more confident that I can defeat Voldemort again, it's not too early, everyone should go back, go to class, don't make the students wait. ”

The crowd dispersed, and McGonagall hurried to class.
