Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 1276 Deathly Hallows

   "Albert, I want to talk to you."

  After using Felicia, Harry went directly to Albert.

  After seeing Harry's apologetic gaze, George smiled and waved his hand to signal Harry not to care about them. In fact, everyone was curious about what Harry was looking for with Albert.

   However, the two obviously did not plan to talk here. They circled the marquee where the carnival was taking place, looking for a place where no one would be disturbed.

   "There should be no one over there in the garden." Harry led the way ahead.

   As they passed by the open kitchen window, they found members of the Order whispering about what might happen tonight.

  The back garden of the shabby room has long been deserted, with dry plants everywhere, and a few goblins around them are secretly looking at them.

   Albert raised his wand and waved it towards the sky, a red spell exploded into a rain of light in midair, directly knocking down all the surrounding goblins.

   "Don't be so cautious!"

  Harry felt that Albert was overly cautious, but he also knew that such caution was necessary, at least it could avoid a lot of trouble.

   "Okay, just ask whatever you want!"

   "You found the remaining two souls..." Harry noticed Albert's gaze, and immediately corrected, "Did I mean the whereabouts of the things?"

   "You didn't take Felicia, or you actually wanted to lead the conversation to Felicia." Albert easily saw through Harry's thoughts.

   "I'm really running out of Felicia Felix, Bill told me that you gave them a bottle of Felicia Felix, maybe I can buy some from you, I know you have no shortage of Galleons, but..."

   "I do still have some reserves of Felix Elixir, but it's a pity that I can't do it now." Albert directly interrupted Harry.

   "I hope I can use Felicia to find that thing." Harry hoped to use this to convince Albert that he really needed Felicia.

   "Felix Elixir can't bring you real good luck, and the dosage is limited." Albert found that Harry seems to be a little dependent on potions now.

   "You definitely didn't come to me for this matter." He changed the subject and asked.

   "Well, I want to ask something very important."

  Harry took out a golden snitch from the shape-shifting lizard pouch, lit up his wand and showed Albert the message Dumbledore had left for him: I will open it at the end.

   "Do you know what this sentence means?"

   "Getting an answer directly from me is meaningless to you." Albert didn't look at the writing on the Snitch, and directly pointed out Dumbledore's intention.

  "Dumbledore wants you to get the answer yourself and open it at a critical moment, and this process is actually more important than telling you the answer directly."

   "You know the truth?"

   "The truth is cruel in a sense."

   "Truth, cruel to me?"

  Harry opened his mouth, looked at the Snitch in front of him, and fell into a brief silence.

   "Then what's hidden in the Snitch?" he asked again.

   "You will know when the time comes."

   "Why do you all like to play riddles, why don't you just tell me?"

   "No, what you comprehend by yourself is what truly belongs to you. No matter how much others say, it's just a bunch of nonsense." Albert didn't reveal the secret directly. It's completely meaningless to do that, and it's easy to mess things up.

  He didn't think he could persuade Harry to die.

  That is purely asking for trouble.

   "You guessed these yourself, or Dumbledore told you." Harry asked again.

"Dumbledore didn't tell me too much. After all, this is a grievance between you and the mysterious man." Albert reminded, "Well, don't say that name, you should know that the name is cursed, although The Aurors of the Ministry of Magic like to use it to catch Death Eaters, but this will reverse in the future, and if you use it frequently, you may get yourself in trouble."

   Having said that, the Ministry of Magic's use of the name Voldemort to catch Death Eaters was still his idea to Scrimgeour, but it was not very effective after using it once.

   "What about the story of the three brothers in "The Tales of Beedle the Poet"?"

  Harry wanted to continue to ask something, but saw Albert suddenly turned his head to look in a certain direction, and Hermione and Ron were walking towards this direction.

   "Sorry, we..."

  Hermione noticed Albert's gaze, and knew that she and Ron shouldn't come to disturb them at this time.

   "I'm sorry, but you shouldn't have two tails behind you."

   Albert waved his wand, and two Aurors appeared out of nowhere, watching with embarrassment.

  Hermione and Ron looked at the two Aurors who appeared out of nowhere behind them, and they were stunned. They didn't even realize that they were being followed.

   "I believe you have more important business to do than eavesdropping on young people's whispers here." Albert told the two Aurors to leave.

   Dawlish, who turned and left, muttered softly: "I hate that guy!"

   "The minister doesn't like him either, but you can't deny that he's really good."

  They were also very helpless. They thought they could overhear some useful news, but Albert saw through it at a glance.

   "These guys are really annoying, they didn't trust us from the beginning." Looking at the back of the two leaving, Ron couldn't help spitting on the ground.

   "Your anti-tracking technology needs to be improved."

   "How did you find them."

  Hermione was actually more curious about this matter, she and Ron didn't realize that they were being followed at all.

   "It is not difficult for any skilled wizard to see through the Disillusionment Charm."

"alright."

  Harry hurriedly stopped the two who were about to say something, lest they continue to waste time asking trivia.

   "Dumbledore gave Hermione "The Tales of Beedle the Bard" so that we can find the Elder Wand and use that invincible wand to defeat the You-Know-Who?" Harry continued to ask.

  "It's a wonderful idea, but I dare say that even if you get the legendary Elder Wand, you can't beat the Mysterious Man."

  Albert was very surprised that Harry misunderstood "The Tales of Beedle the Poet", or he misled their thinking.

   However, this does not seem to be surprising. After all, with the intervention of an intruder who fanned the wings of a butterfly, it would be more normal for some deviations to occur.

   "Why." Ron couldn't help asking, "Isn't that an invincible magic wand?"

   "The gap in combat experience?" Hermione asked tentatively.

   "To a certain extent, it is indeed a gap in experience." Albert was very happy that Hermione could see this clearly.

   "Since Dumbledore's sacrifice, it is actually very difficult to defeat the mysterious man with strength alone."

   "Even you can't do it?" Hermione was surprised that Albert would say that.

   "Don't interrupt, you know that's not the point." Harry had to bring the topic back.

  When Hermione and Ron actually wanted to ask Harry what was the point, they heard Harry say, "Albert himself is not in a hurry, which means he must have a way to deal with the mysterious man, and we don't need to worry about it at all."

   "You have confidence in me." Albert said with a smile.

   "Because you always look prepared." Harry didn't pick up the topic, and asked instead, "Do you already know where the old wand is?"

"Know,"

   Albert knew, of course, because the Elder Wand was in his pocket now.

   "You found the Elder Wand!" Ron's breath became short of breath.

   "That thing doesn't appeal to me at all." Albert laughed at himself: "I prefer my own wand, rather than a wand that may cause trouble at any time."

   "Look, I'm just saying that Albert is definitely not interested in the Elder Wand that will cause trouble." Hermione said happily.

"My own magical power is already strong enough, the old wand is useless to me, but it will cause me a lot of trouble." Albert shrugged, expressing no interest in the old wand, " Do you want that wand, Harry?"

   "As long as it is not obtained by the mysterious person."

  Harry wasn't really eager to get the Elder Wand, especially after hearing from Albert that he couldn't defeat the Mysterious Man even with the Elder Wand, he temporarily lost interest in it.

   "Do you know where the resurrection stone is?"

   "Do you want the Resurrection Stone?" Albert was not surprised by Harry's question.

   "Yes, I want to ask Dumbledore personally, you must know where the Resurrection Stone is, right?"

  Among those three items, Harry most wanted to have the Resurrection Stone, so that he could talk to Dumbledore again, and even meet his parents.

   "Dumbledore was looking for the resurrection stone, which was what he wanted the most, but he also paid for it." Albert said softly, "In my opinion, the resurrection stone is not a good thing."

   "You mean... that ring, Marvolo Gaunt's ring, it's now..." Harry looked at the Snitch in his hand.

  Why can't he get the resurrection stone now?

   "Where's the invisibility cloak?" Hermione asked off topic.

   "I remember Harry had a special invisibility cloak." Albert said suddenly.

   "You mean...but how can you be sure it's Harry's invisibility cloak?" Hermione asked puzzled.

   "When you were in the first grade, you left the invisibility cloak on the astronomy tower. I remember that you seemed to send a dragon away that day." Albert reminded kindly.

   "You were there!" Hermione's eyes widened in disbelief.

   "Yes, Isobel and I were dating at that time, and you suddenly broke in and left the most precious thing behind." Albert suddenly missed school life a little bit.

   "There were people at that time." Ron was surprised.

Albert ignored Ron and continued, "After you left in a hurry, I picked up the invisibility cloak. It is indeed a very special cloak. It is not the one made by Fred and George who cast the disillusionment spell." , or concealed, or woven with the hair of invisible beasts..."

   "Wait, Dumbledore gave Hermione the Tales of Beedle the Bard, didn't he want us to find the old wand and defeat the mysterious man?" Ron felt dizzy.

   Isn't defeating the mysterious man the point?

   "It's okay if you think so, but I don't think that's Dumbledore's intention."

Albert waved his wand, conjured a book out of thin air, and handed it to Hermione, "This is a book compiled by Dumbledore himself, which contains his own notes after reading "The Tales of Beedle the Bard", maybe It can help you find the answer."

   "For me?"

  Hermione was pleasantly surprised to receive the "Tales of Beedle the Poet" compiled by Dumbledore.

   "It's only lent to you temporarily, don't lose it, otherwise no one will be able to publish this book for Mr. Principal."

   "Isn't this book published?" Hermione was a little puzzled, because the "Tales of Beedle the Poet" in her hand seemed to have been published.

   "I can be sure that Dumbledore did not publish on a large scale." Albert shook his head and said, "I think I have the responsibility to ensure that Dumbledore's achievements will not disappear in my hands."

   "I'll keep it safe, I promise." Hermione immediately put the book into her handbag.

   "So, Dumbledore didn't want us to learn the secret from "The Tales of Beedle the Bard" to find the three treasures of Death." Ron felt that the whole thing had become inexplicable, and he was already dizzy.

   "People call those three treasures the Deathly Hallows." Albert turned to Harry and said, "It is said that if you get them, you can become the master of Death."

   "I think... I mean, if the Nosy Monsters knew about it, they would definitely do anything to find them." Harry couldn't help laughing, "That guy wants to be the master of Death in his dreams."

   "But the word 'Deathly Hallows' is not mentioned in the story." Hermione asked suspiciously.

  "Of course not, I don't know who coined this word, but in Godric's Hollow, Ignotus's tombstone does have the symbol of the Deathly Hallows,

   "The Elder Wand."

   Albert took out his wand and drew a vertical line in the void.

   "The Resurrection Stone."

  He puts a circle on top of the vertical line.

   "Invisibility Cloak."

  He drew a triangle outside the vertical line and the circle. The whole figure looks like a triangular eye with a vertical line in the middle of the pupil.

"Remember, Luna's father carried this thing." Ron pointed at the symbol in front of him, and suddenly said: "When we were just about to come over, Krum said it was Grindelwald's symbol, and he almost asked for it." Fight Luna's father."

   "So, the Deathly Hallows really exists?"

   "Yes, Antioch, Cadmus, and Ignotus are believed to be the original owners, or creators, of the Deathly Hallows."

   "Is this kind of thing really possible?" Hermione felt incredible.

   "Don't forget the Sorcerer's Stone, that magical thing can exist, why is it impossible?" Albert asked, "The best evidence is that even if you use the Invisibility Cloak, it will be displayed on the Marauder's Map."

"Indeed it is."

   "Then Harry is a descendant of Ignotus." Hermione felt that the whole thing was too miraculous.

   "Yes, maybe he is a direct descendant of Ignotus. A certain generation of Potter married the heir of the last generation of the Ignotus family, and finally inherited the invisibility cloak."

   "The resurrection stone?"

"Of course people cannot be truly resurrected. Maybe Dumbledore has more say in this aspect. You can ask him in the future." Albert said with a strange expression, "By the way, the Gunter family is probably Cadmore Descendants of Sri Lanka."

   "So, Harry and the mysterious man are relatives?" Ron felt that things were getting more and more incredible.

   "So, the legend of the three brothers is only a story partially inspired by them."

  This story probably implies that the boss, Antioch, was killed by someone. Even though he has the invincible Elder Wand, he can't defend against other people's insidious means. The second child, Cadmus, committed suicide. I suspect that this is because he often used the resurrection stone, which caused his mind to be affected and committed suicide. The third child, Ignotus, died naturally, and his descendants all inherited a magical invisibility cloak.

   "No, I didn't mean to..."

   "You want to know the meaning of Dumbledore's doing this?"

"right."

"It doesn't make sense to say some things, just like what I'm telling you here has actually gone against Dumbledore's original plan. He actually wants you to find the Deathly Hallows and eventually become the master of Death, not like him. I made the same wrong choice as myself."

   "Master of Death, wrong choice?" Harry seemed to have thought of something, and muttered to himself, "So, the last enemy I want to destroy is Death, not the Nosy Monster."

   "Isn't it the mysterious man?" Hermione didn't understand.

   "What's the noseless monster?" Ron asked in astonishment.

  "The nickname of the mysterious man." Albert said jokingly: "You have also seen his appearance, that guy has no nose."

"That…"

  When Ron wanted to ask if the Elder Wand was with Albert, Albert suddenly looked in a certain direction.

  A gust of cold air was blowing head-on along with the night wind, making them shiver uncontrollably.

   are dementors, and there are quite a few of them.
