Chapter 188 The Return
In the principal's office, a fire burned brightly in the fireplace.
The newly nirvana phoenix was dozing in its own nest, with a golden flame left at the corner of its mouth from time to time, as if it was having a sweet dream.
Dumbledore was sitting in his seat, with an old-looking ancient book on the table.
The outer cover of the book seemed to be some kind of animal leather, but it felt extremely soft and not as hard as ordinary animal leather.
Because this is human skin.
Dumbledore gently opened the pages of the book, looked at the twisted patterns inside, and read quietly.
This is an ancient book unearthed in Salazar Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets.
"Necronomicon - Herbo".
"Horcruxes are really disgusting things"...
Gently closing the book, Dumbledore said to himself with a livid face.
In Rowling's original Harry Potter books, it was only mentioned that making Horcruxes requires killing people to split one's soul, but no specific steps were written.
But few people can carefully discover one thing——
Myrtle died in the women's bathroom, but there was no mention of where her body was buried in the original novel.
If a student in the school has an accident, he will be buried normally.
unless……
They did not find the student's body.
So where did the girl's body go?
Thinking hard.
At least part of it should have entered Tom Riddle's digestive tract.
Dumbledore really didn't expect that Salazar Slytherin would actually collect this book.
Although he said that he had sworn never to use dark magic to harm others, Dumbledore still opened the book.
Because the blood curse was invented by Haierpo's disciples hundreds of years later, if you want to save Astoria, a lot of the knowledge in this book should be of some reference.
"Death is eternity, and it uses its divine power to strengthen the viciousness of the curse, which is hopeless"...
"Unless we can find gods of the same level or even higher and use their power."
"But is there really a god in this world?"
Dumbledore muttered to himself.
If there really is a god in this world, he is willing to pay any price to get his sister back.
But unfortunately, Dumbledore knew very well that this was impossible.
When he was young, he desperately turned his attention to black magic, hoping to save his sister.
but……
Dumbledore didn't know that if he used those methods, it wouldn't be his sister who came back to him.
Maybe it's just a monster with the face of his sister but an extremely bloodthirsty heart...
"Elder Wand, Invisibility Cloak, Resurrection Stone"...
Dumbledore murmured.
These three things represent the authority of the God of Death. Maybe by collecting these three things, you can access the curse in Astoria's body...
"China is really a magical country."
Dumbledore couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
But at this time, he just thought that China's operation had allowed Astoria to grow back his lost left eye.
But what he didn't know was that the snake in Astoria's body, which represented the blood curse, had already been completely torn into pieces and devoured by the violent dragon's blood.
After all, what lives in the body of this kind girl is the most terrifying thing in the world...
"Principal Dumbledore, the dinner has already started, you should go quickly."
The door to the principal's office opened, and Filch walked in with a happy look on his face, leaning on a pair of delicate crutches.
"Oh, I was so absorbed in reading that I almost forgot about this."
Dumbledore quickly stood up and walked towards the door with a smile.
"Are you completely healed? My dear Argus".
Dumbledore asked Mr. Filch.
"It has been cured for a long time, but the disability in the hand still needs to be treated"...
Mr. Filch shook his head slightly.
"My unlucky apprentice even took my crutches away, so I had to ask someone to give me a new one."
"Alchemy, what a magical science"...
Dumbledore sighed, and the two of them walked downstairs together.
"Ah, the students came very early."
Dumbledore had already stepped onto the high platform and sat in his seat.
The seats below were almost full, and everyone was chatting and discussing what happened during the day.
"The Defense Against the Dark Arts taught by Professor Snape is so disgusting. I still have nightmares when I look at those pictures."
One of the Slytherin girls complained.
"Shhh, don't say that".
A girl next to her poked her, and then quietly pointed at Daphne, who was eating quietly there.
"alright".
The girl nodded in realization, and then the two of them cast sympathetic glances at Daphne.
Daphne had eaten less than usual today, and she was used to the sympathetic looks.
But that kind of sympathetic look always made her feel very uncomfortable.
"Daphne, eat more."
Gemma Farley, who was next to her, saw that her school girl couldn't eat, so she tried to dissuade her:
"Don't be distracted by looking at the castle gate all the time. Nothing will happen to your sister."
"No, she'll be back later."
Daphne smiled and then continued to look at the castle door.
"You have to accept this fact, Daphne. Your sister is just going to recover from her injuries. She will come back naturally when she recovers from her injuries. It's not good for you to be in a daze every day like this"...
Farley sighed, then stood up and sat next to Daphne.
"I know you are worried about your sister, but I believe in Mr. Hilbert. He said he can cure your sister."
"Yes, I do believe him."
Daphne said with a smile.
"Ah, I, an old man, still have to take up some of everyone's time."
Just when Farley was about to say something, Dumbledore sat in his seat and tapped the goblet with his table knife.
All people's eyes immediately turned to the high platform.
"You should still remember our two classmates. They were seriously injured due to fighting monsters in the underground secret room of Hogwarts and had to go home to recuperate."
Dumbledore looked at everyone and said in a calm voice.
Farley, who was sitting on the long Slytherin table, heard Dumbledore's words and looked at Daphne in disbelief.
"Could it be that"……
"However, after almost half a year of recuperation, our two classmates have fully recovered. Just tonight, they will return to school!"
Dumbledore raised his arms and said loudly to everyone:
"Let us use applause to pay tribute to the return of the heroes who protected us"!
The door of Hogwarts opened to both sides at this time, and two figures who had been waiting outside for a long time slowly walked into the auditorium.
"Good evening, everyone, we are back."
Zhang Qi and Astoria walked into the auditorium together.
At that moment, the entire Hogwarts Great Hall fell into silence.
But the silence was short-lived. The long tables of Gryffindor and Slytherin were the first to burst into warm applause, and then the remaining two houses also began to applaud happily.
"elder sister"!
Astoria ran to the long table in her academy and hugged Daphne tightly.
Tears slowly flowed from the green left eye.
