Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

Chapter 1498: Meaning of Death

Without a doubt, Ivan and Harry have a lot to say to Dumbledore, but they don't know how to express it.

For anyone, this is something extraordinarily difficult, with unknown sadness between the three of them. In the face of sudden news, they both have a lot to confirm with Dumbledore that the hardest part of everything is whether Dumbledore can't die!

Even if he explains it, it's not death in the real sense, it's magic.

Death is an indispensable element of this unparalleled spell, in a certain sense the same action that must be taken with the application materials, spells at the time of application, or wands. Without undue interpretation, death will not mean much more here than shaking the wand.

But life itself, in turn, gives the word ”death" a much different meaning.

Whoever it is will not feel relaxed in the face of death.

So did Ivan and Harry, they couldn't be indifferent, as if nothing had happened, telling Dumbledore to die and return early...

Ivan may think more, and be more sensible, than Harry.

If Dumbledore's departure is something that is destined to happen, it cannot be changed. What they need now is not futile mourning and grief, but a reflection on how to make greater use of it in order to make the unfavourable situation work for them.

For example, let Voldemort think Dumbledore is really dead!

Or even further, according to Dumbledore's script, let Voldemort think that Dumbledore was killed by Draco Malfoy or Snape.

If you want to know about Dumbledore's death, Voldemort will be ecstatic, and he will not give up any chance to make him stronger.

Since his last duel with Harry, he should have realized something was wrong with his wand and he should have started investigating the old wand's secrets!

Ivan had to admit that it seemed like the best thing to do was to let things go as planned, and that this was a highly feasible event that he was trying to avoid, and now it looks like it has to happen! He's going to help Dumbledore finish the script.

After explaining everything clearly, Dumbledore seemed to exhaust all his energy.

He seemed particularly weak, and on their way back, he didn't say much.

In fact, he passed out on the way.

If he wasn't sure he was still breathing, Ivan might think he was dead.

Evan never thought Dumbledore would look like this.

This powerful wizard has reached the end of his life and he is now waiting for Death!

Ivan remembers the last conversation he had with Dumbledore at the Azkaban Gauta.

“Professor, are you ready for Death God? ”

“Of course, I just need to make this more meaningful now.” Dumbledore said easily, "Evan, death is not terrible, it's actually like finally going to bed after a long day. And death is just another great adventure for the sober-minded. We should greet Death like old friends and be happy to leave the world with him in an equal capacity. ”

“Will you be back then? ”

“Perhaps, I may choose to continue. ”

“We will not abandon you, Hogwarts, without the headmaster. ”

“Hogwarts was able to last a millennium because of its willingness to pass on the unique qualities of the four founders, not because of a particular wizard.” Dumbledore said slowly, closing his eyes, "We're going to win eventually, Evan, I'm so tired, now give me a break, there's a lot more to do. ”

About ten minutes later, Ivan, Harry and Dumbledore returned to the pitch-black streets of Hogsmeade Village, where warm summer winds hit and the fog and seafood disappeared, the three of them appearing extraordinarily wolfish, their clothes dripping down water.

It was quiet all around and dark at night.

In the distance, several street lights and several lighted windows upstairs are the only source of light.

“Wake up, professor, we're back!” Ivan took a deep breath and said.

“Go back to the castle... Remember, what I need is... Professor Snape..." Dumbledore opened his eyes and his condition was far from over, “Bring Severus...”

“We'll take you back now. Hold the professor, Harry!” Evan said they had just taken Dumbledore out of the alley and heard a footsteps.

Madam Rosmerta ran towards them along dark streets with plush high heeled slippers on her feet and a silk morning coat embroidered with a fire dragon.

Evan pointed the wand at her and paused slightly, dropping it again.

“When I pulled up the bedroom curtains, I saw your phantoms! Thank God, thank God, I really don't know... Eh, Abbs, what's going on?” She caught her footsteps, stared wide and looked down at Dumbledore.

“He's hurt.” Ivan said.

“There's been an accident and we're going back to Hogwarts.” Harry continued, “Madam Rosmerta, could you please...”

“No, you can't go back to Hogwarts now.” Madam Rosmerta said quickly, "Didn't you notice that you didn't see? ”

“See what? Rosmerta, what happened?” Dumbledore raised his head.

“Black, Dark Demon Mark, Albus.” She pointed her finger at Hogwarts' direction in the sky.

Ivan, Harry, and Dumbledore looked around, and it was there, hanging over the school: the green skull, with its tongue like a snake in its mouth. Death Eaters leave such marks whenever they break into a building and kill anywhere...

Harry opened his eyes violently and his heart was filled with fear.

Ivan closed his eyes and the scheduled script started!

“Dark Demon Mark, when did it appear?” Dumbledore asked, struggling to stand up, grabbing Harry's shoulder with his hands in pain.

“It must have been a few minutes ago, when I let the cat out, it wasn't there yet, but when I went upstairs...”

“We need to get back to the castle now.” Dumbledore said he was controlling his body with his own will, "Rosmerta, we need transportation, flying broomsticks...”

“Behind my bar, for the three of you!” Rosmerta said she was terrified, "Abbs, do you want me to run and get it? ”

“No, Harry can do it. ”

Harry raised his wand immediately, "Rosmerta's broom flew in! ”

One second later, they heard a loud bang and the front door of the bar was broken open.
