Hogwarts Homecoming

Snap!

The Resurrection Stone with a few green star rings was thrown on the wooden table by Amosta. After rolling it for a few times, it became quiet.

Dumbledore's lips moved.

He wanted to ask Amosta if it was necessary to try, if they could undo the imprisonment magic left by Slytherin, but after thinking for a few breaths, he still shook his head slightly.

Like Amosta, Dumbledore also slowly sat down, staring at the ghostly figures in front of him with a bit of sadness in his eyes.

The outcome of tonight's adventure should be something to be happy about. That's how it should be.

He and Amosta found another of Tom's Horcruxes and destroyed it.

He also found the Resurrection Stone and used it to see Ariana again.

Ariana forgave him for that terrible crime or rather, she never blamed him.

Dumbledore's pupils behind his half-moon glasses are shining brightly

He actually knew very well that Ariana would forgive him, after all, she was such a kind girl.

However, after receiving Ariana's forgiveness, a sense of relief still filled his heart.

Everything was perfect, except for the little surprise that Azarazar Slytherin brought him.

Dumbledore turned his head slightly and glanced at the Resurrection Stone surrounded by witchcraft words, with a hint of bitterness between his frowning brows.

The Resurrection Stone is no longer usable. Intellectually, this is a good thing.

What really makes Dumbledore feel sad is that one of the four founders of Hogwarts, the great Salazar Slytherin, is determined to defend the right of his bloodline to continue to survive thousands of years later.

And the bloodline of Slytherin thousands of years later is the Tom Riddle he is determined to eliminate at any cost!

Banning the Resurrection Stone did not interfere with his determination to get rid of Tom. Anyway, the fragments of Tom's soul in the Resurrection Stone had disappeared.

It was not him who was restrained by Slytherin;

After hesitating, Dumbledore's hoarse voice sounded in the forest,

"Some of the things you want to do must use the Resurrection Stone, right?"

Amosta kept silent and just nodded dullly.

"That is to say."

Dumbledore sighed, frowning fiercely,

"You have to keep Tom alive?"

"Must he be allowed to live?"

Amosta sneered,

"Actually, what Slytherin wants me to do is much more interesting than this. Principal Dumbledore, but I already expected it. Hmm, I just didn't expect that he also added another insurance measure."

Dumbledore continued to frown deeply.

Amosta's words were obscure and confusing. Dumbledore knew very well that Amosta should be cautious and did not want to speak too clearly, but——

A past experience with Amosta jumped into his mind, which made the doubts lingering in Dumbledore's heart dissipate.

The Resurrection Stone is an additional insurance facility, which is the second level, so the first level must be

Amosta stood up from his stool and walked slowly around the wooden table.

Now, he has somewhat come to his senses.

Although the memory left by Slytherin is short and seems to be mostly filled with meaningless content, in fact, the key information is hidden in it.

He revealed to himself a secret story between Godric Gryffindor and Rowena Ravenclaw. Needless to say, this was an exaggeration.

And the other one, what Slytherin wanted him to know, was at the end of his memory. He wanted to borrow Gryffindor's sword that would be passed down to future generations.

But why would he borrow the Sword of Gryffindor?

Compared to the revelations left by the other three founders, the message left by Salazar Slytherin is much more obscure.

It's like testing his wisdom. After thinking about Slytherin’s intention for doing this, Amosta put the question aside. Most likely it was Slytherin’s ‘bad’ character, well, very similar to himself--

Dumbledore just watched Amosta pacing in front of him silently, keeping quiet to avoid disturbing Amosta's thoughts.

He had always known that the outstanding young man in front of him had hidden secrets in his heart.

He had guessed before that it was no small matter that Amosta could still be obsessed with the secret even when the situation of their struggle with Tom was so serious.

The Resurrection Stone. Ariana's meaningful words revealed some of the mysteries that existed in Amosta itself.

And Salazar Slytherin's memory allowed him to understand a corner of the secret that Amosta was pursuing!

Merlin's Remains. Despicable Herbo

Looking at Amosta who was meditating under the moonlight in front of him, Dumbledore moved slightly.

The things he carried were heavier than he imagined.

Dumbledore's blue eyes were slightly moist, and in a daze, he seemed to see himself in Amosta.

For many lonely nights, he was alone, with sorrow in his heart, pacing back and forth in the office at Hogwarts, thinking hard about how to solve the crisis that Tom had brought to the wizarding world, and thinking about how to remain calm. Guide Harry and his friends to grow up

It wasn't until Amosta returned to Hogwarts that he felt more relaxed.

Amosta's appearance provides him with more choices, so that he does not have to carefully control Harry's growth.

Yes, that’s right, manipulation.

He didn't want to interfere with Harry's growth. He was willing to let this young man live his life with innocence and kindness.

However, everything is fate, and no one can control it.

Harry must face his own destiny, even today.

However, the appearance of Amosta made Harry's life, which was originally heavier, much easier.

The responsibility he should bear, the responsibility Harry should bear, and even the responsibility that Amelia and other officials of the Ministry of Magic should bear

All these responsibilities will not disappear out of thin air. They feel a little relieved, just because someone has taken their responsibilities.

The humidity in the air is getting heavier, and a trace of miasma rises from the rotten dead leaves under their feet, gradually gathering together, gathering and dispersing around them.

Dumbledore made the fire pit that Amosta had made earlier more vigorous, and then looked at the fluorescent resurrection stone thrown on the wooden table by Amosta.

It must be admitted that he still felt regretful.

He would not disturb Ariana's sleep for his own desires, but if the resurrection stone could still be used, he would use it again.

Aberforth would definitely want to see Ariana, and the pain in his heart was no less than his own.

Maybe Ariana could help him persuade Aberforth not to be angry with him anymore, which was really a cowardly idea.

It seemed that he had not improved much since he was young.

"Are you going back to Hogwarts, Principal Dumbledore?"

Amostar's voice came into his ears, pulling him out of his thoughts.

Dumbledore looked at Amostar, and the waning moon in the night sky happened to be right above Amostar's head.

The frowning brows of the outstanding young man in front of him had been relaxed, and it was obvious that the doubts that troubled him no longer existed.

"Oh, this is indeed my plan--"

Dumbledore said in a light tone, he stood up, picked up the resurrection stone on the table and handed it to Amosta,

"What about you, Amosta?"

"Ah, unfortunately, then we have to go our separate ways--"

Amosta smiled inexplicably,

"I have other things to do." (End of this chapter)
