Hogwarts: My name is the Unforgivable Curse

Chapter 73 Nico Flamel’s Philosopher’s Stone

Avada smiled and said nothing, but sighed inwardly - this is the only way to escape from the endless loop of trust.

At the beginning, he wanted to use Voldemort as a cover, saying that he came to the forbidden book area to complete the homework assigned by Voldemort... but after thinking about it, Voldemort is now a professor. If there is really a need for homework, Can't you just give him the approval note directly? Why would he sneak into the forbidden book area secretly?

So in desperation, he had no choice but to reveal his identity as a "prophet" and claim that he was waiting for Harry. Otherwise, he could not explain why he secretly visited the forbidden book area and studied black magic - his sense of magic was his greatest strength. The secret must not be exposed during this time period.

By reading the books left by Professor Baker, he already knew the significance of his abilities and the virtues of a real dark wizard. If his ability to directly perceive magic was leaked...he couldn't even imagine what would be waiting for him.

Professor Baker seems to be aware of his secret. Although he obviously underestimated himself and was restricted by the contract, it was still a hidden danger - this was his biggest pressure besides Voldemort, and it was also the main motivation for him to develop the Curse of the End of the World.

However, claiming to be a prophet will bring about another problem: it will greatly weaken the trust that he and Dumbledore have previously established - Dumbledore originally thought that he chose to trust himself due to Voldemort's bewitchment, but the prophet After the incident was exposed, the nature of the matter changed: Maybe you saw the future and clearly knew that I, Dumbledore, would not harm you, so you reported to me with confidence?

Not only that, combined with the current situation, Dumbledore may think of some bad things: a born prophet, with amazing talents, who often come into contact with and study black magic... Who was the last person like this?

What's more, he is still studying next to Voldemort, the contemporary Dark Lord.

Therefore, what Avada wants to say must focus on one purpose, which is to make Dumbledore confirm that he will not follow the path of the Dark Lord and will not degenerate into a dark wizard.

Therefore, he chose to take the initiative to let Dumbledore notice the similarities between him and Grindelwald, and then clearly asked him to confirm that he was different from Grindelwald.

Use this short-term contrast to completely erase the inherent impression in Dumbledore's mind.

"Let's talk about you first."

Avada ignored Harry's astonished question, but asked Harry with a smile: "Can you tell me? Why are you suddenly so curious about Nico Flamel, and even went to the forbidden area for this?"

"And you haven't asked anyone yet - all fourth grade students who have passed the history of magic can recite Nicolas Flamel's contribution to alchemy proficiently. If you ask someone to ask, you won't end up in the restricted book area. Come."

"I……"

Harry hesitated, but finally decided to tell the senior who treated him well: "I suspect that Snape wants to steal something kept in the corridor on the fourth floor, and that something is related to Nicolas Flamel... …So who is he?”

"Do the things in the corridor on the fourth floor belong to Nico Flamel?!"

Avada exclaimed, then frowned and murmured to herself: "I see, this is what he had planned..."

Now it was Harry's turn to be confused: "What?"

"Nicolas Flamel was a French wizard who lived for more than 600 years. He made epoch-making contributions to the field of alchemy. He was also an old friend of our principal Dumbledore and had collaborated on some projects."

"And his most famous contribution is the successful creation of the highest achievement of alchemy, which previously only existed in theory, the Philosopher's Stone, or the Philosopher's Stone. That stone can turn stone into gold, and can also assist in the creation of immortality. Medicine, this is the reason why he himself can live to be 600 years old..."

"I see!"

Harry became excited after hearing Avada's words: "That big dog must be guarding the Philosopher's Stone! It was Nicolas Flamel who gave the Philosopher's Stone to Dumbledore for safekeeping, and then Snape wanted to take the opportunity to steal it. ! Who doesn’t want to live forever and have endless gold?”

"Not Professor Snape."

"Um?"

"I can't tell you why, Harry, but I can guarantee that the person who wants to steal the Philosopher's Stone is definitely not Professor Snape."

"Oh my God, you are like Hermione, you think every professor is a saint... I saw it with my own eyes. On the day of the Halloween party, Snape took advantage of the trolls to cause commotion and sneaked into the corridor on the fourth floor. He was also killed by the dog. Bite on the leg!”

"...Stop discussing this, Harry. I am still sure that it was not Professor Snape who stole the Philosopher's Stone, but I can't convince you because I can't tell you the reason why I am so sure. Such a discussion There’s no point, let’s stop here.”

"You have known for a long time that someone wants to steal the magic stone, but you can't tell anyone? Are you being threatened?"

Harry's eyes were suddenly filled with worry and anger.

"..."

Although she was grateful that Harry was willing to care about her, Avada still rolled her eyes when faced with his outrageous ideas - who would force students to do this in the territory of Dumbledore, the strongest white wizard? Doing something so stupid? Even Horcrux Diary only dares to seduce him slowly!

"There is no threat, just because it is too dangerous. I was also involved in this matter unintentionally, so there is no need to let the risk spread... In this matter, sharing the risk does not make everyone bear the risk. It’s getting smaller, so I’m enough.”

"Professor Dumbledore also knows that I am involved in this matter and agrees with me. He can also ensure my safety."

In the end, it was the powerful weight of "Dumbledore's guarantee" that made Harry finally stop questioning.

"And to be honest, I got some benefits from participating in this matter. For example, my previous invisibility and my ability to read normally in dark environments were all learned in the process of participating in this matter..." Avada added with a smile.

Well, these forbidden magics are all taught by Voldemort and have nothing to do with any magical senses.

Seeing that Nico Flamel's information had been brought, Avada brought the conversation back to the main topic: "Let's talk about my views on the confidentiality law... Ha, in fact, it's just a thought. Changing such a Deep-rooted laws will definitely cause violent chaos and disorder, and that is not what I want to see."

"It's just that I still can't control myself from imagining Muggles and wizards walking in the same world together."

"why is that?"

There was a trace of curiosity in Harry's eyes - he knew so little about this senior who didn't even know his name.

Hearing Harry's question, Avada couldn't help but reveal a look of reminiscence in her eyes:

"When I first discovered that I had magical talents, I was only six or seven years old. At that time, I was both introverted and timid. After discovering that I was different, I did not dare to expose this ability to others. I was afraid of being treated as a monster, rejected, and isolated... In my eyes at the time, magic was so mysterious and interesting, so I often practiced magic secretly to see if I could do more interesting things... …”

"One day, when I was practicing magic, I was bumped into by three guys. I was very panicked, thinking that the day I had been fearing for a long time was finally coming...and guess what?"

"They came up to me with curious faces and begged me to show them a few more; and after I carefully confirmed that they didn't reject me at all, I made three new friends at once!"

Avada could almost hear Dumbledore breathing.

"And what impressed me most was when I asked them not to spread the word that I could do magic, one of them said this."

He curled up his lips and muttered softly: "'Why do you think so? What a great thing it is to have magic! If I could easily help everyone and make everyone happy, and... I would be so happy if everyone thanked me!'"

"Later, even when I grew up, I realized that human hearts are not as pure as we imagined when we were children. I also came into contact with the magical world and learned about the law of secrecy... This sentence has always been in my heart."
