What is the old bat doing at this time?

In the dimly lit office, Snape was sitting behind his desk, thoughtfully playing with the Resurrection Stone in his hand.

It took him quite some time to confirm that there was indeed some kind of powerful seal on the Resurrection Stone.

This seal limits the power of the Resurrection Stone, preventing it from truly bringing the souls of the dead back from the underworld.

Under the suppression of the seal, all the resurrection stone can do is to recall a false soul projection.

Precisely because of the projection, the deceased summoned by the Resurrection Stone will have a cold and dull expression.

If it is a complete soul body, in this case, the state of the deceased will be more like Voldemort who has lost his body.

Throughout the summer vacation, Snape was studying how to break the seal on the Resurrection Stone.

After his unremitting efforts, he finally found a clue.

The easiest way to unlock the seal on the Resurrection Stone is to obtain another Deathly Hallows.

The Deathly Hallows cannot resist the energy of another Deathly Hallows. If you can get the Elder Wand in Dumbledore's hand, it will be easy to break the seal on the Resurrection Stone.

But this is impossible.

While exploring the historical information of the Deathly Hallows, Snape also learned part of the deeds of the two good friends who tried to collect the three Deathly Hallows.

Ariana's death will always be a great pain in Dumbledore's heart.

If he wanted to borrow the Elder Wand from Dumbledore, Snape would have to tell Dumbledore about the Resurrection Stone.

At that time, the Elder Wand was borrowed, but whether the Resurrection Stone could remain in his hand was another matter.

After trying every possible method, Snape found another way to break the seal.

That's a lot of energy.

One force can break all laws, and great force can produce miracles.

As long as there is enough energy, the seal on the Resurrection Stone can be easily broken open.

But when using this method, you must control the output energy, otherwise the seal will be cracked and the resurrection stone will be gone.

Thinking of this, Snape, who had been deep in thought for a while, gradually came back to his senses, and his eyes that had lost focus refocused on the Resurrection Stone in his hand.

After thinking for a long time, Snape reached out and opened the drawer of his desk, revealing a huge red gem in the drawer.

Magic stone.

It was the one that was protected by Dumbledore's detonating clay puppet when Harry was in his first year.

Dumbledore claimed that it had been destroyed, but it had not.

Nico Flamel did not want them back. They had lived enough for more than six hundred years.

Mainly the elixir of life brewed from the magic stone cannot keep a person's body young forever.

Immortality means immortality, but it cannot stop the aging of the body. Living in this way will only become a thinking mummy in the end, which is what Nico Flamel does not want to see.

So the couple was ready to give up the Philosopher's Stone, so they didn't go to Dumbledore to get it back.

The Philosopher's Stone remained in Dumbledore's hands.

Dumbledore is not yet old enough to take the elixir of life, even though he is over one hundred and ten years old.

According to the wizard's lifespan and Dumbledore's strength, there is no problem for him to live to the age of 180 without relying on the elixir.

That's why this magic stone, which was regarded as useless, fell into Snape's hands so easily.

Snape took out the Sorcerer's Stone from the drawer, stood up, and walked to a trap door in the corner of the office.

He stamped his feet, and the blocking magic on the trap door was automatically released, and the door opened, revealing the passage behind it.

This tunnel was dug when Kyle raided his office at night last time. Snape did not choose to destroy it, but kept it for some reason.

So this tunnel leading outside the castle became Snape's secret passage to sneak out of Hogwarts.

Not long after, Snape's figure was already standing outside the wall of Hogwarts Castle.

After walking forward for a while, until they were out of the range of Hogwarts' anti-Apparition restrictions, Snape's figure disappeared into the night with a loud bang.

When Snape's figure reappeared, he had returned to his home in Spider's End.

The living room was like a dark cell, and Snape went straight to the basement, which was widened countless times with the Invisible Stretch Curse.

Originally, the use of the Traceless Stretch Spell required reporting to the Ministry of Magic, but under the leadership of a certain little devil, the laws and regulations of the Ministry of Magic are now basically the same as air.

Various defensive magic patterns are carved on the walls of the basement.

This was arranged by Snape after he found a way to break the seal on the Resurrection Stone.

When Snape stepped into the basement, colorful magical brilliance immediately flowed on the magic pattern.

This indicates that the defensive magic pattern has been activated.

Under the reflection of the magic brilliance, the dim basement was illuminated, revealing the scene in the room——

Empty.

Apart from a pile of clutter piled haphazardly in the corner, all that's left are the walls, floor and ceiling.

Snape walked straight to the center of the room and cast a few more defensive spells around him unhurriedly.

After fortifying the room, Snape carried out several buckets of Hydra blood that had been brought from Kyle.

If he wanted to channel the energy in the Philosopher's Stone to break the curse on the Resurrection Stone, he simply couldn't do it by himself.

He needs the assistance of the magic circle.

The blood of the Hydra contains extremely powerful magic power, making it the most suitable material for sculpting magic circles.

Soon, a complicated magic circle appeared on the floor in the center of the room.

Complex irregular polygonal shapes are derived around the circular main magic circle. Seven smaller circular magic circles are connected in series with square lines, guarding the main magic circle in the middle in the form of seven stars accompanying the moon.

The magic stone was placed in the center of the magic circle.

After doing all this, Snape took out a small bottle of Felixir from his pocket and drank it in one gulp.

An exciting feeling welled up from my heart and flowed throughout my body.

Snape raised his head, his eyes blazing, and raised his wand high.

The complex blood-colored magic circle lit up with scarlet light, and the magic stone placed in the center of the magic circle also shone with the same light, as if responding to the resonance of the magic circle.

Threads of golden light penetrated from the magic stone, twisting into several more solid energy rays in the air.

Snape's free left hand reached into his pocket and took out the Resurrection Stone.

He released his palm, and the black prismatic stone suspended in the air under the influence of some invisible force.

Under the guidance of Snape, that majestic force came straight towards the floating Resurrection Stone.

The front end of the golden light was as sharp as a drill, striking the surface of the Resurrection Stone.

Under the bombardment of this force, a faint blue shadow in the shape of a chain appeared on the surface of the Resurrection Stone.

Snape focused all his attention on the chains on the surface of the Resurrection Stone. He found that there seemed to be three chains.

The wand turned, and Snape extracted more magic power from the Sorcerer's Stone, bombarding the chains with more ferocity.

The chain trembled violently.

Under Snape's expectant gaze, the first chain on the Resurrection Stone finally reached its limit, and with a cracking sound like the roar of thunder, it shattered into tiny bits of light blue starlight and disappeared.
