As a great magician who is proficient in brain occlusion, and an old man who has seen countless winds and waves in his life, Dumbledore has always been a 'master' in front of people, including Amosta, and rarely has mood swings as good as just now.

Amosta immediately realized that there might be some story between Dumbledore and the stone.

And Dumbledore, who was depressed and had turmoil in his heart, was also looking at Amosta to investigate some things, this is what Amosta said, what would he be investigating? After a brief thought, Dumbledore immediately realized that Amosta was almost the only possibility of investigating the Deathly Hallows.

Looking at Amosta, who was trying to peek into his heart, the old Dumbledore's lips moved slightly, but he rarely saw it, and he didn't know what to say.

Give him some warning, hope he is lost?

Amosta's purpose in chasing the Deathly Hallows doesn't need much guesswork. He probably realized that he was about to touch that barrier, and he must have known that there was no higher mountain behind that barrier, but a bottomless cliff, and there was no way out, so he hoped to use the power of the holy weapon to raise himself to the height where those legendary wizards were?

Dumbledore knew very well that Amosta Bryan was a wizard obsessed with power, but unlike most careerists in history, Amosta was not obsessed with the 'hegemony' that power brings, he focused only on power. I hope to be able to witness the limits of magic.

At the same time, Amosta has love in his heart, he respects the personality of others, and also respects human nature, and does not despise others because he has outstanding magical talents and far more than ordinary wizards.

Trust –

The word popped into Dumbledore's heart, and he looked into Amosta's eyes, the real pupils that were hidden by a small trick were still clear, and Amosta calmly reciprocated his inquiring eyes, which did not breed more ambition in those eyes.

"You're right—"

The tense aura around Dumbledore dissipated, and the smile crept up his old cheeks again, and he said briskly,

"Salazar Slytherin did make it into a ring."

Amosta raised an eyebrow, and Dumbledore drew his wand, the tip of which swirled around in front of him, as Amosta had done before, and a few wisps of smoke stabilized into a pattern.

One hand, which was young from the color of his skin, had a black gemstone ring with a heavy gold setting on his index finger, and the black gem on the ring was the resurrection stone that Amosta had seen in Helga Hufflepuff's memory!

"It's--"

Amosta frowned,

"Voldemort's hand, he wore this ring in front of you when he was at Hogwarts?"

"And no—"

Dumbledore shook his head slightly,

"Tom is not a man of wisdom, but you must admit that he is the most intelligent child in most eyes, and he will not show this ring in front of me, Amosta, because he can't explain to me where a child who grew up in an orphanage got a priceless ring."

Before Amosta could question it, Dumbledore explained,

"Years ago, while investigating Tom's past, I stumbled upon the ring that Tom had gotten this ring from his uncle. It's a complicated story, Amosta, and now isn't a good time to share it, we all have things to do too! ”

"What's the trouble?"

Amosta nodded. Dumbledore gave the reason why he knew about the ring, but he could see that Dumbledore was still hiding something, but just like Dumbledore didn't get to the bottom of what he was investigating about the stone, he didn't want to force Dumbledore to say what he didn't want to say, this was a tacit understanding between the two.

"Also related to Tom's Horcruxes--"

Dumbledore looked distressed, he didn't have to show so omnipotence in front of Amosta, he frowned and sighed sadly

"That's right, Amosta, you'll remember that together we destroyed the Slytherin locket you brought out of Sirius's old mansion, the third Horcrux we destroyed Tom, and we also know that the Hufflepuff Gold Cup was also made into a Horcrux, and, almost certainly, the ring that Tom would have made into a Horcrux. To be honest, it was more than I expected, and after I realized that Tom had made more than one Horcrux, I was prepared to put a lot of effort into it. Did you find out, Amosta, this is already the fifth! ”

"So--"

Amosta understood,

"Are you worrying about how many Horcruxes Voldemort has made, we've discussed this, Headmaster Dumbledore, probably no more than ten, you don't think Voldemort's soul strength will exceed your-"

"We have to be cautious in this matter, we have to be precise, Amosta--" Dumbledore said with a sigh.

This is undoubtedly a very difficult thing to do, and Voldemort will not go around telling people how many 'life savers' he plans to make for himself.

"Do you have any ideas, Headmaster?"

Amosta glanced at the letter in front of Dumbledore and asked, in this matter, the main force is Dumbledore.

"Only a few clues can be found in Tom's past--"

Dumbledore pondered,

"I believe in an old friend of mine, Horace Slughoe, who was the former Slytherin Dean of Severus, and who was Tom's favorite professor during his time at Hogwarts and one of his biggest influences, and I believe he has some key information. I've been in correspondence with him since the destruction of that locket, but he doesn't want to talk to me about Tom.

To be honest, it's not surprising that most people who know Tom don't want to talk about him anymore, but I think it's time to talk face-to-face with this old friend of mine, you know, Amosta, we all know that Tom will be back among us in a few months, and we'll have to speed up and figure things out so that we can sacrifice less. ”

Amosta nodded solemnly, and suddenly, his eyelids trembled.

Slughorn, who has an image of this man, was mentioned to him by Dirk Chryswell, the current head of the Leprechaun Office at the Ministry of Magic, and Dirk told him that Slugghorn seemed to regret not being his headmaster.

"Let's split up, Amosta—"

Dumbledore stood up from his chair, hurriedly fetched his travel cloak from the hanger on the side, and then said to Amosta,

"Hopefully we can all bring back good news. Oh! ”

Dumbledore came back to his senses as he walked over to Fawkes, and he turned to Amosta with an apologetic smile,

"If you're okay, I'd like Fawkes to join me. That's not a bad thing, is it, young people should move around more on their own feet—"

Bang--

Looking at Dumbledore and Fawkes as they disappeared into the flames, Amosta rolled his eyes.

By the time Amosta returned to his office, the well-fed owl had already left, and he simply packed his luggage, and before leaving the door, he suddenly remembered something and hurried back to his desk, picked up a quill and hurriedly wrote something on the paper.

A flash of electric light from the snap of his fingers caused the parchment to float and fold itself into a delicate crane, and then, the fluttering wings of the paper crane, which was automatically reproduced into three parts, flew out like a meteor through the crack in the owl's window.

The tower of Gryffindor

Walking out of the warm common room, Harry, Ron, and Hermione, who were speeding down the stairs, were discussing something intensely.

A white light suddenly burst up from under the stairs, hovering over the three of them a few times before swooping down, Hermione catching the crane with a quick hand.

"What's going on, Hermione?" Glancing at Ron, Harry asked, "Is that Krum's letter of apology?" ”

"Oh, it's not--" Hermione flipped through angrily, "It's Professor Blaine, he's taking a leave of absence again."
