Chapter 302: Demonstration
Felix opened his eyes as if awakening from another world. He looked at the elderly man on the bed and took out a Sneakoscope from his pocket, placing it beside him.
The Sneakoscope started to spin, emitting a pleasant and clear musical sound.
"Is this... a Sneakoscope?" Nicolas asked in a soft voice. "For what purpose?"
They had discussed this question before. Felix knew that he had found the methods to make seven Sneakoscopes from ancient texts, and he had even turned them into magical creations, seeking Nicolas's advice.
"Just a prank, really. It can sense a person's body temperature and makes a sound when released."
The old man chuckled, "If you hadn't said, I might have puzzled over it for a while." He listened quietly for a while before reaching out to grasp the Sneakoscope, causing the sound to stop.
"Albus... fetch Albus for me."
Felix waved his wand, a silvery light disappeared, and soon, Dumbledore appeared at the door. He quickly came to the bedside, bending down slightly to observe Nicolas Flamel, who appeared unharmed. Dumbledore visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Headmaster Dumbledore, you don't think I'm up to something, do you?" Felix's expression was peculiar, and he was right there, having witnessed that there was no communication between the two, it was purely Dumbledore's concern for Nicolas Flamel's safety.
"You're overthinking, Felix." Dumbledore straightened up with a smile.
Nicolas Flamel gripped the Sneakoscope tightly with one hand, his voice trembling, "Al... Albusplease bear witness, everything I have belongs tobelongs to Felix Harp."
Dumbledore said in a deep voice, "I will respect your wishes, Nicolas."
"F-Felix" The old man's gaze turned to Felix, trying to widen his eyes, looking at the blurry figure through a layer of haze.
"I'm here, Nicolas," Felix said.
A golden key floated toward him, and he opened his palm, letting the key fall into his hand, still warm from the old man's touch.
"I hope... you won't blame me, the setbacks of youth... might not necessarily be a bad thing. I believe... believe that you... cough, cough!" Nicolas Flamel started to cough violently, his eyes bulging, and he continued with gasps, "I believe you will become... a legend of a new era..."
Dumbledore looked at Felix in astonishment. What had happened in the past half-hour? How did his old friend suddenly accept him? A legend... Dumbledore could distinctly sense the intense anticipation hidden within that evaluation.
Felix didn't avoid Dumbledore's probing gaze; he looked somewhat dazedly at Nicolas Flamel. After the old man finished speaking, he continued to gasp for breath, muttering his wife's name, "Perenelle..."
After a while, the Sneakoscope in his hand suddenly made a sound, and a melodious tune resonated through the small room.
The key in Felix's hand began to shine brightly. At this moment, he became the master of this safe house. Simultaneously, a series of hidden addresses flowed through his mind.
...
Half an hour later, Felix and Dumbledore stood in front of a gravestone. At Nicolas Flamel's request, he and his wife, Perenelle, were buried together in a place full of birdsong and floral fragrance. Not far away was Nicolas's and his wife's first residence after graduating from Beauxbatons Academy.
They stood in silence for a while before Dumbledore cast a protective spell to conceal the area. Felix extended his finger and lightly touched it; the air in front of him rippled like water.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om
The two walked along a path
"Do you want to talk about it, Felix?" Dumbledore asked gently.
Felix understood that this marked the end of their conversation. He could only remember what had just transpired and ponder it in detail when he had the time.
"Are you returning to the school, Headmaster Dumbledore?"
"I still have some matters to attend to."
The two parted ways on a small hill covered in pale yellow wildflowers. Felix was bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, shedding hues of rose-tinted light. He walked toward the castle from the edge of the Forbidden Forest. As he approached the castle gates, he heard hurried footsteps. Looking in the direction of the sound, however, there was no one there.
"Oh, Professor, I've finally found you!" Hermione suddenly materialized in the air, panting as she spoke. She held a silvery invisibility cloak in her hand.
Felix withdrew his wand into his sleeve, "What's happened?"
"Sirius! You need to save Sirius, and also Harry, Professor Lupin, and Snape," Hermione's expression was one of fear as she spoke urgently, "There are countless Dementors... they're blotting out the sky!"
I recommend a book titled "Unscientific Magical Beasts" by the author Light Quanliu. The previous book, "Master of Elves," was very well received. This time it's a classic magical creature story, full of interesting ideas and strong bonds with magical pets. It's a great read. It will be released on August 1st (tomorrow). If you enjoy this type of story, please show your support~
