Harry Potter: The Grand Arcanist

The two of them strolled along the eerie forest path, one behind the other.

Dumbledore suddenly stopped and turned around and asked:"Mr. Lannister, what do you think caused the death of the unicorn?"

"You should know better than me, right? Paz said calmly

"I do know something about Voldemort."Dumbledore turned around and continued:"Unfortunately, I found that he seems to be weaker than before, and he can't even use his head as well as before."

"It's really surprising, I didn't expect you to say this about him. Paz pretended to be shocked and said:"I'm a little curious, why don't you just kill him?" With your ability, why do you need a savior? I thought you were kidding"

"Oh, you actually know. But yes, if Voldemort could be killed easily, he would have died that night eleven years ago."Dumbledore said softly:"I haven't found his secret yet, the secret that can really kill him."

"It's hard to imagine that someone like you would be so persistent in wanting to kill someone."Paz sarcastically said.

They stopped at a place where there were traces of black magic. Both of them were very skilled wizards and both discovered the traces left here.

"Murdering a person is evil."Dumbledore said,"Besides, I am already old, and I may die one day."

"Isn't there a magic stone?"Paz curled his lips, disapproving of what Dumbledore said.

"I do not covet eternal life. To be honest, the main thing is that Voldemort's actions were terrible. They would cause many people to die. We paid a heavy price in the First Wizarding War."Dumbledore's eyes flashed with light,"Someone must stop him."

"So, you are ready to be a savior. Paz said disdainfully."You are really working hard.""

What about your story, Mr. Lannister? I don't think you are what you seem. You make me feel even scarier than Tom did.""

"Tom Riddle, Voldemort's former name. Dumbledore smiled and said,"You must have discovered the secret in his name.""

"Word games are boring!"

"indeed."

If Voldemort knew that the name he created was called boring by these two people, I don't know how he would feel.

"And you? mr lannister"

"I? Paz paused for a moment and laughed at himself:"He's just an unlucky guy who got lost!""

"It's so pathetic to be lost."Dumbledore took out his gloves and put them on his hands, pinched some soil, kneaded it and said,"If the unicorn did not die naturally, the blood on its body would turn into a very strong poison after it dies. This soil will Already contaminated. Not suitable for plant growth in a short period of time"

"I know, just ask whatever you want, there's no need to beat around the bush."Paz said directly

"It’s hard to believe that you won’t be able to return to your hometown."Dumbledore continued the topic:"With your wisdom, your ability, and your spell-casting methods, I even doubt that you are not inferior to me now."

"I think wizards' power comes from their intelligence."Paz said

"I quite agree with your point of view. Dumbledore suddenly said:"If, I mean if you can't go back, what are you going to do?""

"Can’t go back? There is no such consideration at the moment. Paz had already heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance. He looked at Dumbledore and asked,"The centaurs are coming. Do you want to summon them?""

"Yes, I am the current principal, with a little power. The centaurs have an agreement with Hogwarts. Dumbledore smiled and said to Paz:"I suggest you think about what you will do if you can't go back!" Although I don’t know where you want to go back, people always need to be prepared for the worst"

"What if your savior dies? Paz asked back:"Are you prepared for the worst?""

"I think that when Voldemort is resurrected, others will organize against him. Dumbledore said confidently,"Besides, I don't think Voldemort can tolerate you. Your existence makes him afraid." After all, you only have one head, and you can't succumb to Voldemort"

"Of course. However, I am actually not interested in those nonsense! Paz said disdainfully:"Voldemort is just a fool, just make him afraid.""

"I'm afraid he won't give in easily"

"If not, just kill him. I found an interesting gadget a while ago that has something to do with him."

"What gadget?"Dumbledore asked curiously

"I won’t tell you, just take your time and guess."Paz simply ended the topic

"Well, it's really bad. This is undoubtedly a kind of torture for an old man."Dumbledore turned his head and looked towards the direction where the sound of horse hooves came from, and spoke first:"Good evening, Margery."

"Good evening Dumbledore, what are you doing here?"Margari, the leader of the centaurs, asked with a slight frown.

"Hagrid said that a unicorn was attacked. I suspected it might be a dark wizard, so I came to take a look. said Dumbledore

"There's a dark wizard hiding in Hogwarts, and I don't believe you're unaware of it."Margery cast her eyes on Paz, frowned slightly and said,"It's hard to believe that you would come here with a foal."

"If I were you, I wouldn't use such a title."Paz narrowed his eyes and looked at the centaur in front of him, with oppression in his eyes.

"Okay wizard, I apologize for what I just said."Under Paz's gaze, Margery paved the ground with her horse's hooves anxiously, then took a few steps back and said

"A dark wizard? I just recently discovered someone who seems to be interested in something I have hidden away at Hogwarts."Dumbledore said,"However, I'm not sure yet whether my idea is correct."

"We centaurs do not want to get involved in your wizarding disputes."Margery reminded

"Of course, I just hope you can help me pay attention to it a little bit."Dumbledore said gently."If any students sneak into the Forbidden Forest,……"
