"But you must have a way, right?" Hermione looked at Dumbledore expectantly.

"I wish I had too." Dumbledore shook his head feebly, and Anita felt that Dumbledore looked a lot older all of a sudden.

"At least we can restart this curse, right?" Draco said, "Although it can cure the symptoms but not the root cause, it can at least slow down the demise of the wizarding world. The curse circle is still intact, which means that the curse that restricts the population can be cured." restarted."

"In theory, you are right." Dumbledore said, "but it is not so easy to restart this curse. First of all, the power of this curse is too powerful, and the scope of its curse includes all wizards. Even It is impossible for a powerful wizard like Salazar Slytherin to activate this magic circle with his own power, he must use a powerful magical creature as a medium..."

"We have such a medium." Anita took a deep breath and said with difficulty, "We have a basilisk."

Hai Erbo lightly rubbed Anita's arm, and comforted Anita with a "hissing" voice, "Don't worry, it doesn't hurt me. As long as the master promises not to let me hear the sound of the rooster crowing." That's fine, so I won't be backlashed by the curse being broken."

"I promise." Anita solemnly promised, she rubbed Hai Erbo's crested hair, "I'm sorry."

Haierbo was very open-minded, "This is the fate of the basilisk being created. Besides, the basilisk will not really die." Haierbo poked out from Anita's sleeve and nodded at everyone. Nodding, it's a greeting.

"Even with the basilisk as a medium, it's not enough." Dumbledore sighed, "It was Salazar Slytherin, one of the most powerful wizards in the era of the Big Four, who created this curse circle. For thousands of years, The strength of wizards has been declining, and now the wizarding world can no longer find a wizard who is capable of activating this magic circle."

"Even you?" Hermione asked.

"Not even me."

"It's unreasonable." Severus said, "Slytherin must have known that his curse might be cracked by mistake, so he left a magic circle that wouldn't disappear with the cracking of the curse, The basilisk that will usher in a new life after backlashing death is left behind, so that future generations can restart this curse when necessary. Then he should also know that there are very few wizards as powerful as him in the wizarding world, so why restart it? The requirements are set so high?"

"It's not that Slytherin set the requirements so high, but to activate such a powerful magic circle, you must be a wizard of Slytherin level, and Slytherin has no way to lower this requirement." Dumbledore explain.

Anita explained, "I think Dad meant, didn't it occur to Slytherins that they might not find someone capable of activating the Cursing Circle?"

"I think it may be because Uncle Salazar was not the only powerful person before a thousand years." Ms. Gray said, "At least in Hogwarts, the other three are not weaker than him, and it is not without Hogwarts. Other powerful wizards. Uncle Salazar may have thought that as long as he limited the population of the wizarding world, wizards and magic elements could temporarily reach a balance, and the abilities of wizards would not decline. He probably didn’t think that this curse was just slowing down After a thousand years, there are no wizards strong enough to restart the curse in the wizarding world."

Dumbledore looked at the stone pillars in the center of the hall with a complicated expression, and murmured, "Perhaps Slytherin didn't expect him to be away for so long."

"So, is there really nothing we can do but watch the wizarding world gradually decline?" Draco asked.

"I'm afraid so," said Dumbledore, his eyes welling with tears, "I'm afraid so."

Several people present fell into a hopeless silence.

After a while, Dumbledore said, "This matter must not be leaked, otherwise it will cause turmoil in the wizarding world. Once the public knows that the wizarding world will decline due to the increase in population, although I believe there will always be some people I will do my best to save the wizarding world, but I also believe that this will become an excuse for some people to once again stir up conflicts between pure-blood wizards and hemp-seeded wizards. What's more, I worry that there will be extreme people for the sake of Improve your own strength and massacre wizards. At that time, the wizarding world will really come to an end."

Everyone nodded solemnly.

Draco keenly heard the meaning of Dumbledore's words, "So, it's not the end of the wizarding world yet?"

"We still have a glimmer of hope, yes." Dumbledore showed a difficult smile, "The wizarding world should last for hundreds of years, if Salazar Slytherin and Godric Gryffindor can If we come back in these hundreds of years, the wizarding world will not die."

"But it's been 1000 years, and neither Slytherin nor Gryffindor have returned," Severus said deadpan.

"Severus, we must never give up hope." Dumbledore said, "This world is always full of variables and surprises. Maybe there will be new opportunities in the next moment?"

"Then what can we do?" Hermione asked, "Is it just waiting?"

"No," Anita said, "I don't know which world Slytherin and Gryffindor are in, and I don't know if they're gods or not, and I don't know why they haven't come back, maybe they're stuck somewhere I'm in trouble, or I'm in trouble, but I don't like to sit and wait. Through that contract, I can vaguely sense their existence, and I can also go to other worlds through the world of the dead, although I'm still far away from becoming a god , but at least I can try to bring back Slytherin and Gryffindor."

The others looked at Anita in surprise.What Anita said is indeed a method, but it is also a method with a very low success rate.The uncertainty and danger are too high, and everyone's soul is fragile, let alone going to other worlds that have never been explored.None of them expected Anita to have such courage and determination.

Dumbledore's penetrating eyes looked at Anita through the glasses, "You know that no one has ever returned from the world of the dead, right? No Slytherin, no Gryffindor, and... Tom No. As far as I know, the world of the dead has its own rules of operation, and the souls that enter that world cannot turn back, and cannot die until they forget the memory of this world."

"I know." Anita nodded resolutely, "but I have to give it a try. The "Jewish Book of Abraham" and my contract can protect my memory from being erased by the rules of the world of the dead, and also allow me to Positioning the world of Slytherin and Gryffindor, so there's no one better suited to do it than me."

Severus frowned tightly, and said disapprovingly, "Anita, you are still young. If you have the ability of your father Tom, I will not stop you, but you can protect your own ability at all now. "

"Dad, I am not young anymore. I am indeed not as strong as Papa Tom, but how many people in the entire wizarding world can find someone as strong as him? Compared with ordinary adult wizards, I will never lose, and I can protect myself Yes." Anita looked into Severus' eyes and said, "I had to go, I broke the Slytherin curse. I know you all said it wasn't my fault, I had no choice but to curse The existence of the wizarding world is also declining. But I am still responsible, and I cannot shirk this responsibility because I did not know the existence of the curse at the time. Otherwise, even if the entire wizarding world can forgive me, I cannot forgive myself. Dad, I I know you're worried about me, but I can't bear the responsibility of accelerating the demise of the wizarding world and live with peace of mind. Maybe this is why the "Book of Jewish Abraham" signed a contract with me, this is my mission and my destiny."

"Anita..."

"Dad," Anita interrupted Severus, whose words could easily shake her determination, but not this time, she had to go, "This is my 'double undercover' path, This is what I should do."

Severus closed his eyes, knowing full well that the daughter he had raised was as stubborn as he was.He couldn't stop Anita from doing it, just like Anita couldn't stop him from going undercover for Voldemort.

"I'll go with you." Draco, who had been silent since Anita proposed to find Slytherin and Gryffindor, took out the "Jewish Book of Abraham" from Anita's pocket, and everyone Before he could stop it, Draco quickly cut open his finger and dripped a drop of blood onto the book.

"Draco!"

Everyone looked at Draco nervously, but a few minutes passed and nothing happened.

"What's going on?" Draco quickly turned the book to the last page. There was no sign of a giant snake swallowing a wand representing the establishment of the contract, but it was blank.

"I believe I still own the book." Dumbledore took the "Book of Jewish Abraham" from Draco's hand, "I remember the last time I saw this book, it was still in my hand." On the bookshelf in the office?" Dumbledore glanced at Anita.

"Uh... this..." Anita lowered her head guiltily.

"Magic Riot?" Dumbledore immediately thought of the time when Anita might get the book from the principal's office, and shook his head with a helpless smile, "Even I was deceived by you. So, Tom was able to resurrect Also because of this book?"

"Yes." Anita confessed honestly, "I was inspired by the uniqueness of the rune, and speculated that the Philosopher's Stone may also be unique. The reason why except for the Philosopher's Stone made by Nick Flamel, other All attempts failed because only one Sorcerer's Stone is allowed in this world. The original Sorcerer's Stone was destroyed by you, so we successfully created a new Sorcerer's Stone and resurrected Dad, which also proved my The guess is correct. But now it seems that the Philosopher's Stone is not the main function of "The Book of Jewish Abraham."

Dumbledore nodded, instead of pursuing the matter further, he asked, "Anita, can you tell me how you signed the contract with this book?"

"Actually, I don't know very well." Anita said, "I accidentally cut my finger with paper. I didn't care, and I didn't feel like I was signed a contract. The few of us continued to talk, but when I stood up At that time, only the soul stood up, but the body did not, and only then did we discover the pattern representing the contract on my back on page No.14."

"There is still a blank page in this book, which means that a contract can still be signed." Dumbledore said, and he scanned the faces of everyone present one by one, "I am the most suitable among us to sign this contract." People, do you have any objections?"

Everyone shook their heads, Draco seemed very reluctant, but he had no way to refute this, because in terms of ability, Dumbledore was indeed the most suitable to go to another world with Anita to find Slytherin and Gran Fendor people.

Dumbledore nodded, running his fingers quickly across the paper.

Still nothing happened.

Even though the details of the time were restored through the Pensieve, the "Book of Jewish Abraham" just refused to sign a contract with Dumbledore.

"Maybe this contract is also a pick." Ms. Ms. Gray, a straight girl, said.

That's embarrassing.
