Homecoming from Hogwarts

As a great magician who is proficient in Occlumency, and an old man who has seen countless storms and waves in his life, Dumbledore has always been a calm and masterful person in front of others, including Amosta. ', Rarely have the mood swings been as severe as they were just now.

Amosta immediately realized that there might be some stories between Dumbledore and this stone.

Dumbledore, who was suppressing his inner turmoil, was also looking at Amosta to investigate something. This is what Amosta said. What could he be investigating? After thinking briefly, Dumbledore immediately realized that Amosta was investigating the Deathly Hallows, which was almost the only possibility.

Looking at Amosta who was trying to peer into his heart, the old Dumbledore's lips moved slightly, but rarely did he know what to say.

Give him some warning and hope he returns from his lost ways?

Amosta’s purpose of chasing the Deathly Hallows does not need to be guessed. He has probably realized that he is about to touch that barrier, and he must also know that there is no higher mountain behind that barrier, and It's a bottomless cliff with no way to go. So, you hope to use the power of the holy artifact to elevate yourself to the heights of those legendary wizards?

Dumbledore knew very well that Amosta Brain was a wizard obsessed with power, but unlike most careerists in history, Amosta was not obsessed with the 'hegemony' that power brings. What I focus on is just power. I hope to witness the limits of magic.

At the same time, Amosta has love in his heart. He respects the personality and humanity of others, and does not despise others just because he has outstanding magical talents and powers far beyond ordinary wizards. To be honest, neither he nor Gellert , at Amosta's age, he didn't have his vision and mature mentality.

trust--

This word suddenly popped into Dumbledore's mind. He looked into Amosta's eyes. The pair of real pupils hidden by a little trick were still bright. Amosta calmly returned his inquiring eyes. No more ambition grew in his eyes.

"You're right--"

The tense breath around Dumbledore dissipated, and the smile climbed back onto his old cheeks. He said briskly,

"Salazar Slytherin did make it into a ring."

Amosta raised his eyebrows, and Dumbledore pulled out his wand. Just like Amosta had done before, the tip of the wand circled in front of him, and a few wisps of smoke stabilized to form a pattern.

There is a hand that looks very young from the color of its skin. The index finger of this hand wears a black gemstone ring with a heavy gold setting. The black gemstone on the ring is the same one Amosta played in Helga Hutch. The resurrection stone seen in Patch's memory!

"This is--"

Amosta frowned and said,

"Voldemort's hand. When he was studying at Hogwarts, did he wear this ring in front of you?"

"not at all--"

Dumbledore shook his head slightly,

"Tom is not an intelligent person, but you have to admit that he is the child who is extremely smart in most eyes. 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, Dumbledore explained,

"Years ago, when I was researching Tom's past, I accidentally discovered that Tom had obtained this ring from his uncle. It's a complicated story, Amosta, and now is not a good time to share it, we all There’s something to do!”

"What trouble are you in?"

Amosta nodded. Dumbledore gave the reason why he knew about the ring, but he could see that Dumbledore was hiding something, but it was like Dumbledore didn't know what he was investigating about the stone. After all, he didn't want to force Dumbledore to say things he didn't want to say. This was a tacit understanding between the two.

"It's also related to Tom's Horcrux--"

Dumbledore looked troubled. In front of Amosta, he didn't have to show his omnipotence. He frowned and sighed sadly.

"That's right, Amosta, you must remember that together we destroyed the Slytherin's locket that you brought out of Sirius's old house. It was Tom's third Horcrux we destroyed. We also destroyed it. Knowing that Hufflepuff's golden cup was also made into a Horcrux, and that it was basically certain that Tom would make a Horcrux ring. To be honest, this was beyond my expectations, until I realized that Tom had made more than one After the Horcrux, I was mentally prepared to spend a lot of energy on this matter. Have you noticed, Amosta, this is already the fifth one!"

"so--"

Amosta understood;

"Are you worried about how many Horcruxes Voldemort has produced? We have discussed this issue. Principal Dumbledore, there will probably be no more than ten. Do you think Voldemort's soul strength will not exceed yours -"

"We must be careful and precise in this matter, Amostar—" Dumbledore sighed. This is undoubtedly a very difficult thing. Voldemort will not go around telling others how many 'life-saving charms' he intends to get for himself.

"Do you have any ideas, Principal?"

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

"We can only find some clues from Tom's past--"

Dumbledore mused,

"I believe that an old friend of mine, Horace Slughorn, was Severus's former Head of Slytherin and Tom's favorite student at Hogwarts. and one of his most influential professors, who I believed held some key information. I had been corresponding with him since the destruction of the locket, but he would not talk to me about Tom.

To be honest, it's not surprising, most people who knew Tom don't want to talk about him anymore, but I think it's time to talk face to face with my old friend, you know, Amosta, we all know In a few months, Tom will be back among us, and we must hurry up and figure things out so that we can reduce the sacrifice. "

Amosta nodded solemnly, and suddenly, his eyelids trembled.

Slughorn, he had an image of this person. Dirk Cresswell, the current head of the Goblin Office of the Ministry of Magic, once mentioned him in front of him. Dirk told him that Slughorn seemed to regret that he could not Become his dean.

"Let's split up, Amosta—"

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

"I hope we can all bring back good news. Oh!"

Dumbledore suddenly came to his senses when he walked to Fawkes' side. He turned around and showed an apologetic smile to Amosta.

"If you have no objection, I hope Fox can come with me. This is not a bad thing, is it? Young people should move around more on their own feet -"

boom--

Looking at Dumbledore and Fawkes disappearing in the firelight, Amosta rolled his eyes.

By the time Amosta returned to his office, the well-fed owl had already left. He simply packed his luggage. Before going out, he suddenly remembered something and hurried back to his desk, picked up his quill and hurriedly Write something down on paper.

A wisp of electric light flicked out with the snap of his fingers, causing the parchment to float and automatically fold into a delicate paper crane. Then, the flapping wings of the paper crane, which was automatically copied into three copies, flew like a meteor through the gap in the window that the owl squeezed open. go out.

Gryffindor Tower

Walking out of the warm common room, Harry, Ron and Hermione were having a heated discussion as they quickly descended the stairs.

A white light suddenly jumped up from the bottom of the stairs, hovered above the three of them for a few times and then swooped down. Hermione caught the paper crane with quick eyes and hands.

"What's going on, Hermione?" Harry and Ron looked at each other and asked, "Is it Krum's apology letter?"

"Oh, it's not -" Hermione turned over angrily, "It's Professor Blaine, he's asked for leave again."
