Chapter 468: Resurrection into a Mystery
"Jiji! (The smell of ice cream!)" Valen looked up at Felix with his head, holding his clothes with his two little hands.
Felix laughed. "Your nose is so virtuous." He said, stroking its head with one hand, and in its expectant eyes, the ring on its hand shone brightly and an ice cream suddenly appeared.
"Wajiji!"
"I have it," Felix said, "I bought it when I came back." He waved again, and two more ice creams were floating in the air.
He handed Hermione one. "Oh, thank you." Hermione said.
They walked towards the office of the ancient Magic Wen, and Hermione stuttered with the broken kernels on the ice cream - a taste different from the ones offered on the Hogwarts table.
"How is the third project ready?" Felix asked, biting the chocolate covered on the ice cream with a "crack" click.
"It's still going well - we practiced with Cedric, Collins and Roger. Although Harry looked a little - uh, no matter what, the progress was fast. I can't believe Collins hasn't mastered the Phantom Transformation. You know, she's in the seventh grade!"
Hermione chirped, "We all bet the two of them-Ron and Collins who mastered the Phantom Transformation first, Professor, we tell them the secret of the House of Responsibility." She glanced at Felix carefully.
"It's okay," said Felix. "In fact, there have been many people who have known there over the years, but few people can unearth its true secret."
Hermione seemed relieved. "And the ghost book you gave to Harry, the prize for Harry in the duel... Harry also took it out, but after more than a year, the magic reaction on it was a bit slow." She didn't say that Professor Happ's face became blurry in the book, but she tried to repair it, but the effect was very little.
Felix listened with a smile and opened the office door.
"Mr. Winple of the Experimental Spell Committee came to the school two days ago. He came to review the magic magic we found. Everyone was curious about the horns on his head, but he said that the situation was much better... Harry, Ron, uh," she pursed her lips, "and Malfoy, the light flame spells they discovered seemed to have a gang effect on dark creatures. Mr. Winple was going to try them one by one. If the effect was good enough, he would apply for a reward from the Ministry of Magic, and might invite Harry and the others to join the Anti-Dark Magic Alliance."
"I didn't expect this." Felix was slightly surprised.
"And...uh," Hermione hesitated. "What's wrong?" Felix asked, and Hermione's answer surprised him. "Harry had a nightmare again."
"It has something to do with Voldemort?"
"OK, it should be..." Hermione stammered, "Harry wasn't sure. He was sleeping and vaguely dreaming of Little Crouch and Voldemort's plot. Harry once again entered Voldemort's perspective. He said that he saw Little Crouch kneeling at his feet... After that, Harry woke up and his brain closure operation worked."
In fact, Harry was quite regretful about this. His brain closure seemed to have a counterproductive effect on this matter, preventing him from getting more useful information.
Felix's face turned solemn. He realized something, "Does Dumbledore know about this?"
"I know," Hermione said quickly, "The scar on Harry's forehead hurts so much that Ron took him to the school hospital, and Principal Dumbledore appeared soon."
Felix nodded, and he vaguely guessed why Dumbledore chose to suddenly reveal the truth at the Wiesengamor meeting, and even fought publicly with Fudge, because Voldemort's resurrection was approaching, and the magic world still knew nothing about it...
Lucius Malfoy didn't find anything unusual. This is normal. The Horcrux is obviously more closely related to Voldemort than the Magic Mark. Harry could find Voldemort's violent emotional fluctuations, but it does not mean that the Death Eater can do the same with the Dark Mark.
What Felix hoped was that after Voldemort was resurrected, he would know about this matter as soon as possible and know the subsequent action plan of the Death Eater.
When he came to his senses, he looked at Hermione staring at him, and said hesitantly: "Professor, if Voldemort is really resurrected, can anyone else compete with him except Dumbledore?"
Felix laughed, "Are you trying to ask if I'm his opponent?" Her question seemed the same as when he asked Dumbledore.
Hermione was touched by her thoughts and looked at him with awkward expression.
"Well, it's hard to say, I haven't really fought with Voldemort," Felix shrugged and said uncertainly: "It should be a little short." He judged it based on Dumbledore's strength. Dumbledore obviously experienced the transformation process of transforming towards the "magic creature" in Ms. Ravenclaw's words, but his condition may have slightly declined due to age or other reasons.
Voldemort can fight Dumbledore in this state, but it is a little inferior, which almost shows that they are on the same level and the gap is not very obvious.
And he...
Hermione looked at Professor Hepp in a strange way, staring at her arm and fell into deep thought, a little confused. But at least she heard the professor's answer and felt a little disappointed. The professor was so strong that he was not Voldemort's opponent.
After she left the office of the ancient magical text, she returned to the common room, where Harry and Ron were taking advantage of the last time to do their homework. Hermione sat down with great concern and said to the two carefully: "I asked the professor."
This sentence of unfinished words made Harry suddenly raise his head and rush over a bottle of ink bottle, "Hey--it's okay, don't worry," he pulled out his wand and pointed at the fragments on the ground, "Recover as before." The fragments were immediately put together.
Then he and Ron looked at Hermione intently, "What does the professor say?"
Hermione retelled Felix's words to them, and Harry's expression looked shocked.
"Actually, it's normal to think about it," said Ron. "Professor Happ is in his twenties."
"Twenty-four years old," Hermione said immediately.
"Yes, that's it." Ron said as if he had known it for a long time. "He's still so young. I mean - he's a genius, but genius also needs time to grow, right? To be honest, I can't think of a wizard stronger than him except Dumbledore. Since the Quidditch World Cup, my father has said that he might take Dumbledore's class."
"You mean Professor Hepp would become the principal of Hogwarts?" Harry asked in surprise. He had never thought about this problem, but thinking about it carefully, the possibility was very high. He stared at the eyes and imagined that scene. Decades later, Professor Hepp with silver hair and silver beard (somewhat looks similar to Dumbledore, but his nose is intact) welcomed the freshmen in the auditorium. He was curious, what welcome words would the professor say?
"No," Ron interrupted his association, "Dad said he might become the strongest wizard since Dumbledore."
Harry suddenly felt a sense of relaxation. With Dumbledore - Professor Pu in Shanghai, even if Voldemort is resurrected, it will not cause any storm? However, Dumbledore repeatedly confirmed his dream in the school hospital last night, which still cast a psychological shadow on him.
Hermione sat on the pad with her knees in her arms, silent for about ten minutes.
"You said," she said slowly in a very light voice: "Volve, Voldemort...is it possible that he has been resurrected?"
...
"I doubted, too, Felix." Dumbledore was wearing pajamas and his long silver beard tied together, "and this possibility is not ruled out."
"He's really so anxious?" Felix frowned. "Don't he need Harry?"
"Maybe we've guessed wrongly before, Harry was not the key to his resurrection." Dumbledore whispered. "Or it's not a necessity - just like your previous guess, Voldemort might have known that Harry had his soul in his body, and he was ready to take back this soul fragment while he was resurrecting. It was for this. But obviously, he failed."
"Other possibilities are not ruled out," Felix said.
"That's right," Dumbledore nodded slightly, and he sighed: "I know some evil black magic, to be precise, to be precise, they all need to use the blood of the enemy to fall into the category of curses. I once speculated that Voldemort's goal was the blood flowing in Harry's body. Lily's protective magic might have a different attraction to him. But-"
"But we interrupted his plan." Felix added. His mind was working quickly, trying to deduce his thoughts from Voldemort's perspective: "The experience of Little Crouch and Voldemort escaped must still be fresh in his memory. Voldemort thought he was hiding in the dark and no one knew about it. He naturally had the patience to wait and arranged the resurrection plan calmly... But his sense of security was broken that night - once he thought there was little hope of getting Harry, in order to avoid the long night and the loss of his only helper, Little Crouch, would be very likely to start resurrection immediately!"
"It may be Harry in his eyes before his resurrection, but after his resurrection - if it is true - his vision will cover the entire magic world." Felix paced in Dumbledore's circular office, his thoughts becoming clearer, "Don't summon servants, don't contact allies, Albus, he is ready to launch a fatal blow!"
"This is also what I worry about the most." Dumbledore stared at Felix with a serious expression. The wrinkles on his face were very deep under the light, looking old and tired.
...
"This is impossible!" Ron shouted in surprise.
"Why is it impossible?" Hermione asked him shrillly.
"He lacks the conditions for resurrection!" Ron blurted out and looked at Harry and Hermione uneasy. "You know, he let Crouch Jr. enter the school. Crouch Jr. almost did one thing during this period, which was to throw our names into the Goblet of Fire. But we all know who his real goal is. It's Harry, right?"
Harry felt a swelling in his stomach. He was strongly disgusted with the question raised by Hermione, but he had no evidence to refute it. He even faintly agreed with this view deep down: Yes, Voldemort has an excellent helper. He has been running away on Christmas Eve for almost four months since he was a child. He could not do nothing...
But Ron's idea is not unreasonable, Harry thought. Voldemort had a more important purpose for letting Crouch Jr. sneak into the school. Although he was unwilling to admit it, Harry believed that their goal was himself. He originally thought that Voldemort was to torture himself, but he shouldn't be so stupid.
It's not too late to do this after resurrection, right? Harry didn't feel that torture himself was more important in Voldemort's heart than resurrection. Unless his mind was in a mess, he went crazy while repeatedly cutting his soul and creating a Horcrux.
