Hogwarts Melting Ice Journey

"Stephen, I think we need to spend some time talking about you and your brother." Dumbledore conjured a chair and motioned for Stephen to sit down.

"I" Stephen feels a little strange. Although what he has done recently is not very low-key, it is not to the extent that he needs to talk alone.

"Yeah, I think the things about you are even more important than the things about Jacob." Dumbledore took out a box of candies from the drawer, "Would you like some, or maybe some coffee?"

"Let's have coffee, thank you, Professor." Stephen asked for the variety he usually drinks, "I don't like sugar very much."

"That's such a shame. I thought I would have something in common with you." But there was no regret on Dumbledore's face. He snapped his fingers and a cup of coffee appeared on the table.

"Then let's get down to business. I've noticed you since the sorting. Not many people would chat with the Sorting Hat for so long." Dumbledore grabbed a candy and put it in his mouth. "Of course, your brother is also among them. One, I think, is because you’ve got that hat in a knot.”

"Oh, it tastes wonderful, Stephen, are you sure you don't want some?" Dumbledore recommended another candy.

"No, Professor."

"I think many people have mentioned the term Cursed Treasure House to you."

"Yes, Professor." Stephen nodded, "I don't understand why they all think I'm going to find that treasure trove."

"I think it's because of your brother. He has no doubt that such a treasure trove exists at Hogwarts."

"Does this treasure trove really exist?"

"There are many secrets in Hogwarts. Some places even I don't know whether they exist or not. I think the answer to this question can only be found by yourself."

"But I'm really not interested in the cursed treasure house." Stephen shook his head. It was rare to be reborn for a while, but he was still reborn in the magical world. If he didn't enjoy his life, why would he do something dangerous?

"I think so, but sometimes, you do something not because you need to do it, but because you have to do it." Dumbledore looked at Stephen with a smile, and his eyes made him feel a little hairy, "This road will It’s going to be hard, and you’ll need to work with your friends to overcome it.”

"In that case, I have to go find the treasure house."

"Oh, I didn't say that." Dumbledore still kept his smile. "The decision of whether to search or not is up to you. No one can force you to make this choice. And your brother Jacob, he is not dead. , but escaped from the siege of the Aurors. I have to say, his fighting skills are outstanding."

"What does that have to do with me?"

"There are rumors that if you want to enter the cursed treasure house, you need a pass. And in the cursed treasure house, there are gifts from the God of Death."

Dumbledore did not answer his question, but talked about the cursed treasure trove, "Those who receive the gift will have the power beyond death, and this power is exactly what Voldemort desires."

"But professor, isn't the mysterious man you mentioned still making trouble outside the school? I think he is very powerful now." Stephen pretended that he didn't know the truth.

Dumbledore looked into his eyes: "Stephen, Voldemort will be defeated soon."

"Then Professor, what should we do before he is defeated?"

"For you little wizards, of course you should study hard." Dumbledore blinked, the atmosphere was no longer as serious as before, "Fate shows that he will be defeated by the Boy-Who-Lived."

"Harry Potter" Stephen said the boy's name.

Dumbledore smiled, not surprised that he said the name: "Stephen, time will tell. I think I should let you go to lunch, otherwise you may complain about the headmaster's corporal punishment of students."

"Professor, I can also choose to eat at your place." Stephen put the empty coffee cup back on the plate, "But I think I'd better go with Rowan and the others. By the way, Professor, I can say these words to my friends Did they say?”

"of course can."

On the way to the restaurant, Stephen thought about the conversation just now.

"To put it bluntly, Dumbledore just wants me to choose to find the Cursed Treasure House. I can choose myself, do I still have a choice?" Stephen sighed, "The Three Hallows of Death are not enough. I have to get a few more gifts from the God of Death." , is the God of Death too shameless? I'd better go eat first, I've been busy for so long and I'm starving to death."

Entering the restaurant, Rowan and Ben were eating and chatting at the spot where he and Rowan usually sat. Stephen walked over and sat down, picked some food from the plate and started eating.

"Stephen, what did Professor Dumbledore tell you?" Rowan couldn't wait to figure out what was going on.

"Hagrid became the gamekeeper and was responsible for looking after the Forbidden Forest. He also told me about the cursed treasure trove and let me choose whether to look for it or not."

"Cursed Treasure House" Ben was confused again. There were too many facts he didn't understand.

"Professor Dumbledore doesn't know whether it exists or not. He said we can only find it ourselves."

"We" Rowan were a little confused.

"Yes, us. He said that there may be a gift from the God of Death in the cursed treasure house. If the mysterious person gets it, he will gain power beyond the God of Death. He also said that this road will be full of hardships. I need to work with my friends to overcome all kinds of difficulties. Difficulties.”

"Stephen, we have to stop the mysterious man, don't we?" Rowan became serious when he heard about the mysterious man.

"Who is the mysterious person?" Ben became more and more confused as he listened.

"Hey, Stephen, can you add me?" A voice suddenly joined the discussion.

"Oh hell, Martin, can't you do something in the world? I suspect that sooner or later I will have a heart problem from you." Rowan was once again frightened by Martin appearing next to him.

"Sorry, I'm used to it. I will consider reminding you first next time, Rowan." Martin smiled, showing his white teeth.

"It's an honor, Martin. I believe your information will be of great help to us." Stephen nodded, "It's best not to talk about this secret. If things about the mysterious person are revealed casually, it is very likely that It will cause panic.”

"Stephen, I...I...can I back out, this sounds dangerous." Ben started stammering again.

"Of course, I have to respect your personal opinions, but Ben, you can't say it casually."

"Of course...I will keep this secret." Ben nodded and said softly.

This meeting ended here. Rowan thought that he needed to collect information well in order to be fully prepared; Martin disappeared mysteriously again, and Stephen was among the things left by Jacob. Looking for clues.

But the most important thing at the moment is not to find the cursed treasure house, but to take classes seriously.
