Chapter 468： Resurrection as a mystery

"Haw! (Smell of ice cream! Warren looked up at Felix, clutching his clothes with two small hands.

Felix laughed. "Your nose is really good." He said, one hand stroking its head, in its expectant eyes, the ring on the hand flashed, and an ice cream suddenly appeared.

"Wow!"

"I still have it," Felix said. "I bought it when I came back." He waved again, and there were two more ice creams floating in the air.

He handed Hermione one. "Oh, thank you." Hermione said.

They walked in the direction of the Ancient Magic Office, Hermione sipped the crushed nuts on top of the ice cream, which was different from the flavor offered on the Hogwarts table.

"How are the preparations for the third project?" Felix asked, biting the chocolate covered on the ice cream.

"It's pretty smooth. We practiced with Cedric, Collins, and Roger. Although Harry looked a bit ugh, he progressed so fast anyway. I couldn't believe that Collins hadn't mastered Apparition. You know, she It's in seventh grade!"

Hermione tweeted, "We both bet the two of them, Ron and Collins, who mastered the apparition first, professor, we told them the secret of the responsive house." She glanced carefully at Felix.

"It's okay." Felix said, "Actually, there are not a few people who have known there over the years, but few people have been able to unearth its real secrets."

Hermione looked relieved. "And the ghost book you gave to Harry, which is Harry's prize in the duel... Harry also took it out, but after more than a year, the magic response on it was a bit slow." She did not say the book Lihai Professor Pu's face became blurred, she tried to repair it, but the effect was very little.

Felix smiled and listened and opened the office door.

"Mr. Wimple of the Experimental Spell Committee came to school two days ago. He came to review the magical magic we found. Everyone was very curious about the horns on his head, but he said that the situation is much better... Harry, Ron "Uh," she pursed her lips. "And Malfoy. The light and blazing fire curses they discovered by the three of them seem to have a deterrent effect on dark creatures. Mr. Wimple is going to try them one by one. If the effect is good enough, he will report to the Ministry of Magic. Apply for rewards, and possibly invite Harry and the others to join the Anti-Dark Magic League."

"I didn't expect this to happen." Felix was slightly surprised.

"And... well," Hermione hesitated. "What's the matter?" Felix asked, but Hermione's answer surprised him. "Harry has a nightmare again."

"It has something to do with Voldemort?"

"Should, it should be..." Hermione said, "Harry is not sure. He was in his sleep and vaguely dreamed that Little Crouch was conspiring with Voldemort, and Harry entered Voldemort's perspective again. Said that he saw little Crouch kneeling under his feet... After that, Harry woke up and his Occlumency was working."

In fact, Harry was quite regretful about it. His Occlumency seemed to have a counterproductive effect on this matter, preventing him from getting more useful information.

Felix's face was solemn. He realized something, "Does Dumbledore know about this?"

"Yes," Hermione nodded hurriedly. "The scar on Harry's forehead hurts fiercely. Ron took him to the school hospital. Principal Dumbledore showed up soon."

Felix nodded. He vaguely guessed why Dumbledore chose to suddenly reveal the truth at the meeting in Wizengamore, and even confronted Fudge in public, because the pace of Voldemort's resurrection was approaching, and the magical world had nothing to do with it. Know...

Lucius Malfoy did not find anything unusual. This is normal. Horcrux is obviously more closely related to Voldemort than Magic Mark. Harry can detect Voldemort's violent mood swings, but it doesn't mean that Death Eaters can do the same with the Dark Mark.

What Felix hoped was that after Voldemort was resurrected, he would know the matter for the first time, as well as the follow-up Death Eaters' plan of action.

When he came back to his senses, watching Hermione staring at him, he said hesitantly: "Professor, if Voldemort is really resurrected, can anyone besides Dumbledore be able to compete with him?"

Felix laughed. "Are you trying to ask me if I am his opponent?" Her question seemed to be the same as when he asked Dumbledore.

Hermione was poked into careful thought, and looked at him with a wry expression.

"Well, hard to say, I have never really played against Voldemort," Felix shrugged, and said uncertainly. "It should be a little worse." He judged based on Dumbledore's strength, Dumbledore obviously He has gone through the transformation process that Ms. Ravenclaw said in the direction of "magic creatures", but it may have declined slightly because of his age or other reasons.

And Voldemort can fight Dumbledore in this state, but it's a bit inferior, which almost shows that they are on the same level, and the gap is not very obvious.

And he...

Hermione looked strangely at Professor Haipu staring at her arm into thought, somewhat unclear. But at least she heard the professor's answer, and she felt a little disappointed. The professor was so powerful that she was not yet Voldemort's opponent.

After she left the Ancient Magic Office and returned to the common room, Harry and Ron were using the last time to catch up with homework. Hermione sat down preoccupiedly, and said carefully to the two of them, "I asked the professor."

Harry suddenly raised his head and hurriedly knocked over a bottle of ink bottles. "It's okay, don't worry." He drew out his wand and pointed at the debris on the ground, "Recovered as before." Spelled together.

Then he and Ron stared at Hermione, "What did the professor say?"

Hermione repeated what Felix had said to them, and Harry looked shocked.

"In fact, it's normal to think about it," Ron said. "Professor Haipu is only in his twenties."

"Twenty-four years old." Hermione said immediately.

"Yes, that's it." Ron said as if he had already known it. "He is so young. I mean he is a genius, but genius needs time to grow, right? To be honest, except for Dumbledore. , I can’t think of a stronger wizard than him. Since the Quidditch World Cup, my dad said he might take Dumbledore’s class."

"Are you saying that Professor Haipu will become the principal of Hogwarts?" Harry asked in surprise. He had never thought about this question, but when you think about it, the possibility is very high. He stared and imagined that a few decades later, a silver-haired and silver-bearded Professor Haipu (somewhat similar to Dumbledore’s image, except that his nose was intact) was welcoming new students in the auditorium. He was very curious, Professor. What kind of welcome message would you say?

"No," Ron interrupted his association. "Dad said he might become the strongest wizard after Dumbledore."

Harry suddenly felt relaxed. With Dumbledore and Professor Shanghai Pu, even if Voldemort is resurrected, he can't make any waves, right? However, Dumbledore's repeated confirmation of his dream in the school hospital last night still cast a psychological shadow on him.

Hermione sat on the cushion with her knees on her knees, and was silent for almost ten minutes.

"Say," she said slowly in a very soft voice: "Vol, Voldemort... is it possible that they have been resurrected?"

...

"I doubted it too, Felix." Dumbledore was wearing his pajamas, with long silver beards tied together, "I can't rule out this possibility."

"Is he really in such a hurry?" Felix frowned. "Does he need Harry anymore?"

"Maybe we all guessed wrong before, and Harry is not the key to his resurrection." Dumbledore said softly. "Or it's not a necessity. Like you guessed before, Voldemort may know that Harry has a piece of his soul in his body. He is going to take back this piece of soul while he is resurrected. Little Crouch is here for this... but very Obviously, he failed."

"Other possibilities are not ruled out." Felix said.

"Yes," Dumbledore nodded slightly, and he sighed: "I know of some extremely evil black magic. To be precise, they all need the blood of the enemy to fall into the category of curses. I have speculated that Voldemort The goal of Lily is the blood flowing in Harry's body. Lily's protective magic may have a different appeal to him. But"

"But we interrupted his plan." Felix added. His thoughts moved quickly, trying to deduce his thoughts from Voldemort's perspective: "The experience of little Crouch and Voldemort's fluke escape must be fresh in his memory. Voldemort thought he was hiding in the dark and no one knew it, so he was naturally patient. Waiting and calmly arranging the resurrection plan... But his sense of security was broken that night. Once he thinks that there is little hope of getting Harry, in order to avoid long nights and the loss of his only helper, Crouch, he is very likely to immediately Go to the resurrection!"

"He may only have Harry in his eyes before the resurrection, but after the resurrection, if this is the case, his vision will cover the entire magical world." Felix paced in Dumbledore's circular office, his thoughts becoming clearer and clearer. , "Do not call servants, do not contact allies, Albus, he is ready to strike a fatal blow!"

"This is what I worry about the most." Dumbledore stared at Felix with a stern expression, the wrinkles on his face deep under the light, looking old and tired.

...

"It's impossible!" Ron shouted in surprise.

"Why is it impossible?" Hermione asked him sharply.

"He lacks the conditions for resurrection!" Ron blurted out, watching Harry and Hermione anxiously You know, he let little Crouch into the school, little Crouch almost did nothing during this time One thing is to put our name into the Goblet of Fire. But we all know who his real goal is. It's Harry, right? "

Harry felt a surge in his stomach. He strongly disliked Hermione's question, but he had no evidence to refute it. Even deep in his heart he still vaguely agrees with this point of view: Yes, Voldemort has an excellent helper. It has been almost four months since Crouch ran away on Christmas Eve when he was young. It is impossible for him to do nothing...

But Ron's thoughts were not without reason, Harry thought. Voldemort must have a more important purpose in letting little Crouch sneak into the school. Although he didn't want to admit it, Harry thought their goal was himself. He originally thought Voldemort was to torture himself, but he shouldn't be so stupid.

It’s not too late to do this after the resurrection, right? Harry didn't feel that tormenting himself was more important in Voldemort's heart than resurrection. Unless his mind is messed up, he is crazy in the process of repeatedly cutting the soul and making Horcruxes.

"Dumbledore will arrange everything," Ron said uneasily. He looked at the silent Harry and Hermione. "We'd better think about the third project. I've almost learned how to Apparate, and I am responsive today. I succeeded several times in the room. Collins was about to die of anger, her eyebrows kept dropping..."
