One Sneeze Destroys A Magical Civilization

Chapter 297: The Resurrection That Nearly Caused a Riot

In early October, a cold and damp mountain wind blew the entire castle.

The cold rain beat on the windows day and night like bullets, making crackling noises that disturbed people.

Many students caught a cold because they accidentally got caught in the rain, and rushed to the infirmary to ask Madam Pomfrey to prescribe some medicine to relieve their uncomfortable symptoms.

In just a few days, a potion called "Chili Potion" quickly spread to all grades.

Anyone who drank this potion would immediately feel hot all over, and smoke would continuously spray out from their ears, dispelling the cold as quickly as possible and warming up the user from top to bottom.

Even if you don't have a cold, a drink in this ghostly weather can bring a pretty good experience.

The only downside is the spicy taste and strong irritation to the mouth and throat.

Of course, for some people who like spicy food, this is an advantage.

As usual, Ron got up early while everyone else was still asleep, quickly went to the auditorium to eat something, then drank a "pepper potion", and at the same time added a waterproof spell to himself, intending to wait Snape had come to find himself to do the dirty and tiring work.

Since that night's talk, he's reset his mind and started to see the targeting as an extra exercise.

With a lot of practice at work, the proficiency of many common spells is increasing rapidly.

At this rate of development, by the end of this semester, let alone the level of the fourth grade, even the fifth grade can barely reach it.

After all, besides magic power and talent, the most important thing about magic spells is a lot of repeated boring training.

Due to the nature of young people who are active and always curious about new things, it is difficult for ordinary students to calm down and practice one or even a few spells all the time. Instead, they prefer to learn more spells and pile up the number first.

As everyone knows, with this kind of attitude of only seeking knowledge and not refinement, the more you learn now, the more you will forget after graduation.

But Ron, with the help of Snape's targeted punishment, was lucky enough to practice a few of his common spells far beyond his peers at work.

If he were thrown on the dueling ring with Master Malfoy now, the latter would probably be beaten to the ground within a few seconds.

And I don't know if it's an illusion, Ron always feels that the new wand Zuo Si gave him seems to be more handy to use, and the release speed and power of many spells are significantly improved than before.

But what made him feel strange was that Snape appeared much later today than yesterday.

Seeing that the time was approaching seven o'clock, many students were struggling to get up from the warm blankets to join the ranks of eating breakfast, but the potions professor was still nowhere to be seen.

Are you going to let yourself go?

Or did you catch a cold from the cold rain?

Unlike Harry Potter, who had mixed feelings of love and hate for Snape, Ron only had a naked and undisguised dislike for Snape, so he never minded guessing from the most malicious angles.

But soon, he noticed that Snape was not sick, but was talking with Zuo Si in a low voice outside.

About a few minutes later, my parents also appeared at the school led by Professor McGonagall.

Especially the mother, Molly, looked very nervous and excited, and even had tears in her eyes.

Father Arthur continued to speak comfortingly from the sidelines.

It looks like something happened at home...

Could it be that some elderly relative has passed away?

Do not! wrong!

If a relative has passed away, there is no need to come to school at all.

While Ron was guessing wildly, he saw Principal Dumbledore coming from a distance with a tired expression and gesticulating, and then everyone walked towards the outside of the castle together until they completely disappeared from sight.

Just when Ron was about to chase him out to find out, he suddenly saw a sleepy Hermione coming down the stairs, holding the cat with weird eyes in her arms.

"morning!"

The girl said hello habitually, and then picked up a glass of milk habitually.

Due to entering the second puberty period, Zuo Si's height is growing at an extremely fast rate, and is now half a head taller than her.

Therefore, no matter for the sake of being taller or bigger, the girl forced herself to develop a good habit of drinking milk.

Not only drink a glass or two every morning, but also drink a glass or two at night before going to bed.

"Good morning. By the way, do you know what South is up to lately? I just saw him with Snape, Headmaster Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, and my parents, and he seemed to be heading out of the castle .” Ron hurriedly took the opportunity to ask.

"Ok?!"

Hermione shuddered when she heard these words, and the original drowsiness disappeared instantly.

Undoubtedly, she was one of the very few students who knew what the second Philosopher's Stone really did, and had also heard Zuo Si mention the Ministry of Magic's resurrection of the dead.

For this miraculous resurrection from the dead, the girl is undoubtedly very curious and very interested.

Although she doesn't have relatives or friends who want to be resurrected like others, and she has never seen death in the true sense since she was a child (you can't see thestrals), but she knows what this kind of magic can bring to the entire magic world. Violent shocks and changes.

Unless it's a natural death at the end of life, who wouldn't want to keep their loved ones and friends by their side forever?

Thinking of this, Hermione took a deep breath and responded, "I do know a little bit, but it's not convenient to tell you. But if you are interested in this, you can pay a little attention to tomorrow's Daily Prophet."

"The Daily Prophet? Soth must have come up with some great invention again?" Ron's eyes widened in surprise.

"Sorry, it's a secret."

Hermione raised her mouth and blinked her eyes playfully, then raised her head and drank the milk in the glass, and began to concentrate on eating breakfast.

After all, when Zuo Si is not at school, she not only has to attend classes, but also has to take care of the growing magical creatures in the lab.

If you don't eat a little, you will be exhausted just feeding these dangerous little guys.

Especially the poison leopard, after a month of development, it looks like a strong calf.

Although under Zuo Si's training, his temper has become less irritable and aggressive, but he is quite mischievous, active, and likes to play tricks on those who come to feed him.

When the girl fed this guy several times, she was attacked or knocked down by him.

In contrast, Thunderbird appears to be more docile.

Although small-scale lightning storms are often created in the laboratory's cages blessed with the Untraceable Stretching Curse, they basically don't play tricks on people who feed themselves.

In short, as the time spent with these magical animals got longer and longer, Hermione has gradually begun to understand why Hagrid likes big and ferocious monsters.

The reason is simple!

When these beasts, which are extremely dangerous in the eyes of outsiders, behave like pets in front of me, the satisfaction is beyond words.

In fact, ever since Hagrid, the gamekeeper, learned that Zuo Si had raised many magical creatures with very high danger levels, he would bring a pile of food to visit these so-called "little cuties" almost every three or five days.

Even though his fingers were bitten several times, and even almost seriously injured by the terrible toxin, he didn't mean to be angry at all.

It is estimated that when these cubs grow up, the laboratory will completely become "Hagrid's Happy House".

Just when a new day at Hogwarts was about to begin, Lockhart, who had been hiding in his office for several days without going out, was as pale and decadent as a vampire, and was facing the faucet in the women's bathroom. He opened his mouth and let out a horrible hissing sound from his throat.

soon!

The snake-like logo on the faucet quickly seemed to come alive, releasing transformation magic around at an extremely fast speed, and finally opened a pipeline leading to the deep underground.

Without any hesitation!

This usually timid man blessed himself with a magic spell, then jumped down in a deep leap, and quickly shuttled through the intricate pipes.

After about a few minutes, they arrived at the secret room located in the deepest part of the castle.

"Fluorescent flickering!"

Harold uttered a spell in a low voice, his eyes gleamed with a completely different cold light than before.

Obviously, it is not himself who is controlling this body at this moment, but Voldemort's horcrux that has awakened and resurrected from the diary.

By talking to Harold, he almost effortlessly broke down the other party's psychological defenses and made the liar tell everything he knew.

Especially the envy, jealousy and hatred towards Zuo Si made the young Dark Lord very curious.

Because he was an out-and-out genius when he was a student. He was not only good at trying to figure out and win over people's hearts, but also deceived the professors around.

But after hearing what Zuo Si did after entering the magic world, he immediately felt completely inferior.

In order to confirm the authenticity, Tom Riddle also checked a large number of newspapers and magazines from last year, and found that there was no exaggeration.

Among them, the magic scroll and spell storage technology, even he, who is extremely proud and conceited, was shocked and unbelievable.

According to the theory described in the book, as long as this technology is fully mastered, a large number of scrolls and storage items can be manufactured.

At that time, the fighting style of the wizards will gradually evolve from a competition for the number, power, and proficiency of spells to a competition for who has more financial resources.

In fact, there is already a trend in this regard in the current magic world.

The Ministry of Magic of several countries has begun to equip their Aurors with twin wands and wand rings, and a belt that can hold twenty-four scrolls.

When fighting those criminals and dark wizards, often only a round of violent spell bombardment can make the opponent surrender.

Of course, if the Aurors of the law enforcement department can do this, the dark wizard will naturally not be left behind.

Several well-known black wizard gangs in Europe also used almost the same method, looting several teams of Gringotts transporting funds successively.

It is said that the cash that was robbed alone was as high as three to four million Galleons, not to mention that there were also a large number of priceless treasures that had just been unearthed from ancient ruins.

However, what the Dark Lord valued most was that Zuo Si successfully created the second Sorcerer's Stone since it was recorded in the history of wizards. ,

You must know that before this, only Nicole Flamel did this.

As for himself, although his level of alchemy is quite high, he also tried to make the Philosopher's Stone, but in the end he failed without exception.

Because of this, Tom Riddle paid special attention to the talent shown by Zuo Si.

Especially the Dumbledore family's blood flowed on the other party, and he was thrown into Slytherin House by the Sorting Hat. It was simply the best gift God gave him to regroup.

As long as this person can be brought under his command, it won't take long for him to make a comeback.

But this time, his goal will not be limited to the small British Isles, but to rule the whole of Europe and even the world.

Thinking of this, the young Dark Lord came to the huge statue and said in a hissing Parseltongue: "Wake up! My servant! The successor of the Chamber of Secrets has returned! Now, I demand that you obey the order according to the contract... ..."

With the last word blurted out, a gigantic basilisk slowly crawled out of the statue's mouth.

Its body is so thick that it can easily swallow a horse with its bloody mouth.

"Hiss...servant...waiting for summons...obeying the orders of the successor of the Chamber of Secrets..."

The basilisk also let out a terrifying cry from its mouth.

After decades of dormancy in this dark place, it is very hungry now, eager to devour something to satisfy its appetite.

Soon, Tom Riddle controlled the basilisk along the sewer pipes extending in all directions of the castle, and began to look for the first single victim.

Because he knew that whether it was himself or the basilisk that had been dormant for a long time, the most urgent need right now was to restore strength.

Only in this way can he force Zuo Si to submit to himself through powerful force.

But the young Dark Lord didn't know that the other self had already had a brief exchange and discussion with Zuo Si as early as last semester.

As for the result...

Anyway, after the fight, he never dared to come to find him unhappy.

But it's a pity that the young Tom Riddle didn't know about this, and he was full of confidence in his own strength and wisdom.

After all, he opened the Chamber of Secrets with his own hands and finally framed it on Hagrid, but he did it seamlessly, and even Dumbledore, who had strong doubts about it, couldn't find any clues.

So this time I have the confidence to replicate the previous success again.

At that time, as long as Zuo Si is blamed for the whole thing and sent to Azkaban for a few days in prison, he will naturally hate Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic.

If you help him escape from prison as a savior, you will naturally gain the other party's allegiance.

It has to be said that Voldemort in his youth was really good at calculating people's hearts and human nature.

If it was an ordinary student, I am afraid that it is really possible to be determined by this set.

But the problem is that Zuo Si has long been shaped into a person who is extremely good at intrigue in dangerous and complicated environments, and he knows everything about secret rooms and basilisks like the back of his hand.

In addition, he estimated that the diary was given to Harold, so how could he be deceived.

Tom Riddle had no idea that even he himself was just a guinea pig in Zuo Si's eyes.

...

At the same time, far away in the British Ministry of Magic underground in central London.

Dozens of representatives from major families and senior officials from the Ministry of Magic were gathering around this dilapidated coffin that had just been dug out of the cemetery and was stuffed with damp soil both on the outside and inside.

Next to the coffin, there is a human skeleton that has just been spliced ​​together.

Minister of Magic Fudge's expression today was extraordinarily solemn and solemn, and he took the initiative to say: "Everyone, I think you should be very clear about what to do today.

Yes, the Ministry of Magic now has the ability to resurrect the dead, and its source is the second Philosopher's Stone that Sous created not long ago.

So before the ceremony begins, I hope everyone can give it a round of applause.

Because without him, there would be no miraculous resurrection from the dead. "

The voice just fell!

Whether it was the pure-blood families with haughty expressions on their faces, or the half-blood and Muggle-born wizards, they all chose to clap their hands in agreement almost at the same time, and cast their eyes on the young figure with black hair and dark eyes not far away.

"Mr. Minister, you are too flattered. All of this is due to the Ministry of Magic and your leadership. Without those policy support, I would not be able to achieve today's achievements."

Zuo Si, as always, gave old Fudge and the bureaucrats behind him enough face.

Because he knows too well what these guys want to hear from their own mouths, and then publish these words through newspapers and other media as a "political achievement."

moment!

Fudge's old wrinkled face bloomed like a chrysanthemum, and the title "I am the greatest minister of magic in Britain" was almost written on his forehead.

As for subordinates like Umbridge, they all puffed up their chests, showing that they also had a share of credit.

To put it simply, this semi-public resurrection ceremony, apart from proving the truth of "resurrection from the dead" to those wealthy and powerful families, has another function, which is to show the great achievements made by the Ministry of Magic under Fudge's leadership .

As the gold medal reporter of the "Daily Prophet", Rita Skeeter was not only invited to attend, but also got a very front position, staring at the skeleton with wide eyes, intending to witness the birth of the miracle with her own eyes.

She is very clear that if today's resurrection ceremony is really successful, then whether it is fame, wealth, power, or high social status, it will follow.

The master whom I am secretly loyal to will inevitably become the most transcendent existence in the entire magic world.

All of a sudden, Rita Skeeter, who originally chose to surrender out of fear, actually had such a slight change in her mentality.

After all, Zuo Si is not like Voldemort, who completely relies on death and fear to control his subordinates, but as long as he works diligently, he will give him enough benefits.

In this way, even if it was forced at the beginning, it will slowly become part of a huge community of interests as time goes by.

In the relationship between people, having common interests is even stronger than family, friendship and love in many cases.

"Hahahaha! Look at how humble our rising stars and geniuses in the British magic world are. Who wouldn't like young people like this?"

Fudge deliberately glanced at the expressionless Dumbledore not far away, laughed and patted Zuo Si on the shoulder to show his closeness.

Obviously, he is announcing to the old man who is the biggest threat to his status and power that he is the current Minister of Magic, and at the same time let the guests understand that Zuo Si is on his side.

It's a pity that Dumbledore ignored Fudge, but stared at the Philosopher's Stone in Professor Herman's hand and the magic mercury flowing inside.

Seeing that Dumbledore ignored him at all, a strong dissatisfaction flashed in Fudge's eyes, but he didn't show it. Instead, he raised his hand to signal that the skeleton could be resurrected.

After getting the permission, Professor Herman immediately extracted a portion of magic mercury with shimmering light from the Philosopher's Stone, and poured it into the healing potion and stirred it thoroughly.

After a while, everyone present saw wisps of white smoke emanating from the medicine bottle.

These are exactly the visual effects produced by the volatilization of magic mercury into the air.

As a highly unstable energy aggregate, this solution can fuse with almost any matter or energy, so it must be used quickly once it is taken out.

It is naturally impossible for Professor Herman, who has conducted countless experiments, not to know this.

After fully stirring, he immediately began to wave the wand to control the mixed solution to sprinkle on the bones.

In less than a dozen seconds, a large number of muscles, blood vessels, and complex neural networks began to grow on the surface of the bones.

Such an unbelievable change made everyone here gasp when they saw this scene for the first time.

When the face was repaired and a face that was familiar to many people was revealed, Molly couldn't hold back the excitement in her heart anymore and cried out.

Because this person is the elder brother she misses day and night—Gideon Prewett.

Also excited are many members of the Prewett family, as well as comrades who joined the Order of the Phoenix and fought the Death Eaters side by side.

When the skeleton completely turned into a person, and the heart obviously began to beat, the atmosphere was finally heightened to its climax.

I saw Gideon Prewett's body twitch violently first, then suddenly opened his eyes and sat up from the table, subconsciously grabbed a quilt to cover it, and then asked in horror: "I... ...Who am I? Why am I here? Who are you?"

"Gideon! It's me! I'm Molly! Your sister!"

Mrs. Weasley was the first to rush forward and hug her brother tightly.

With her taking the lead, the rest of the people who had a good relationship with Gideon also rushed up and surrounded him, kissing his forehead, or kissing his cheek, talking all kinds of things in one go.

In the end, Professor Herman couldn't stand it any longer. He pulled the overly excited guys away one by one with all his strength, and shouted at the top of his voice, "Let's go! Let's all go first! He has just been resurrected, and his memory is still weak." No recovery, no memory of who you are at all, don't freak him out."

But unfortunately, how could Professor Herman handle so many relatives and friends who were out of control.

You must know that the biggest feature of magic in this world is that it can affect its power through emotions, so wizards are often more emotional and impulsive than ordinary people.

When that momentum came up, Dumbledore might not be able to persuade him to end.

As a result, this well-prepared resurrection ceremony eventually turned into a family recognition meeting between the Weasley family and the Prewett family.

Under the tireless narration of a group of people, Gideon, who had just returned from the world of death, finally knew what was going on.

But what really troubled Fudge was that after Gideon was successfully resurrected, the Prewett family was still not satisfied, and wanted to take this opportunity to resurrect another Fabian.

Because of this incident, the scene quickly became chaotic.

After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the amount of mercury in the Philosopher's Stone is limited. Why do your Prewett family want to seize so many resources?

Especially the pure-blooded families who had amassed astonishing wealth for hundreds or even thousands of years, immediately concluded an offensive and defensive alliance in a very short period of time, and also wanted to force Fudge to keep the remaining places for himself.

Seeing that the scene was getting a little out of control, Dumbledore, who had remained silent all this time, finally coughed hard, walked slowly to the center of the room, snatched the Philosopher's Stone from Professor Herman, and threw it to the man who was sitting aside to eat. Zuo Si who is watching a show.

"This is the trouble you caused, and it's up to you to find a way to calm it down."

"I?"

Zuo Si was slightly taken aback, but soon shrugged her shoulders indifferently.

"It's okay, it's a small matter.

First of all, I want to tell you that magic mercury is not limited, but can be transformed through some methods.

And the easiest way is to kill those creatures with magical powers within its sphere of influence, which can be magical animals or dark wizards.

So I suggest that if anyone wants to resurrect someone, it is best to let them capture a sufficient number of dark wizards, or dangerous creatures that cause death, and use the lives of these guys to transform magic mercury.

In addition, every resurrected person must be approved by the Ministry of Magic, and must not be a Death Eater, a criminal, or a dark wizard.

Because I didn't create it to give those bastards another chance to mess up the wizarding world. "

"Transformation by killing? Could this be some kind of black magic?"

An elderly member of the Ministry of Magic council couldn't help but question.

Zuo Si replied casually: "Black magic? No, it's not.

As we all know, the biggest feature of black magic is that it can corrupt people's hearts and completely change a person's character unconsciously.

The process of transforming magic mercury is simply to suck up the target's magic power and vitality, and then compress it into a liquid state that is easy to store.

As long as the user keeps his heart, he will not be affected by external factors.

If someone wants to resurrect too many people and starts to kill and make enough magic mercury by any means, it must be his own problem, not the problem of the Philosopher's Stone.

The Philosopher's Stone is just a tool, and how to use it depends on the person who holds it. "

"Well said! Everyone, look at your ugly faces now, it's like embarrassing the pure-blood family. When will we be so desperate that we will fight for bones like wild dogs?"

Lucius Malfoy suddenly stood up, looking like the leader of the pure-blood faction.

However, Zuo Si noticed that when representatives of several pure-blood families looked at him, their eyes showed hatred and disgust.

And these families have one thing in common, that is, they joined the Death Eaters and were betrayed after Voldemort's downfall.

But they were liquidated after the Ministry of Magic regained power, and their current power was very weak, and they couldn't fight against the flourishing Malfoy family at all, so they could only choose to suffer silently.

"Lucius, what do you want to express?" The representative of the Avery family in the Holy Twenty-Eight Family couldn't help asking.

"What I mean is, since the owner of the Philosopher's Stone is His Excellency South, why don't we let him make a resurrection list?" Lucius suggested with a smile on his face.

As a conspirator and a master of left and right jumps, he has already come up with a plan that can maximize his benefits in a very short period of time.

After all, Zuo Si is only one person, and the Ministry of Magic is a group of people.

Influencing the latter is easier and costs less money and resources than the former.

The most important thing is that the outside world does not know that the two have cooperated in private.

Lucius can get what he wants from Zuo Si through trading, and then sell it to other pure-blooded nobles at a higher price, and let the other party owe him favors by the way.

In this way, the Malfoy family could become the true leaders of the pure-blood faction.

But before the representative of the Avery family could react, Zuo Si smiled and shook his head: "I'm sorry, Sir Malfoy, I'm not interested in wasting precious time in such a place.

And I said long ago that this stone is at the disposal of the Ministry of Magic.

I believe that with the justice of Minister Fudge, there will be a resurrection list that satisfies everyone.

I can understand your desire to be reunited with your dead as soon as possible.

But please remember not to be insatiable, let alone push an inch, otherwise I don't mind taking this stone back or destroying it. "

With that said, Zuo Si drew out his wand and aimed at the Sorcerer's Stone and shot a dazzling glare of light.

next second...

The surface of the magic stone, which made countless people crazy, was densely covered with cracks like spider webs, as if it would shatter in the next second.

Before everyone had time to speak out to stop them, those cracks disappeared inexplicably.

After finishing all this, Zuo Si handed the Philosopher's Stone in front of Fudge again: "Minister, resurrection from the dead is a powerful and mysterious magical force, and we currently know very little about its principle. I hope you can be cautious. Under the premise of making good use of it for the benefit of the entire wizarding world."

"Of course! I will!"

Fudge hastily wiped the sweat from his forehead and promised with assurance.

It is not difficult to see from the flustered eyes that he was frightened by the battle just now, and he was unable to control the situation at all.

You must know that the operation of the Ministry of Magic has relied on these wizards and the families behind them for a long time.

Although the number of half-bloods and Muggle-born wizards has increased in recent years, the power and influence of the former remains unmatched.

If they start a quarrel, I'm afraid there will be a civil war every minute.

There is no doubt that Zuo Si's threat to destroy the Philosopher's Stone has worked.

Because as the creator of the Philosopher's Stone, this is his birthright, and no one can stop it.

It's as if Nicole Flamel handed over the Philosopher's Stone he made to Dumbledore for destruction last year, causing an uproar in the entire French wizarding world and even almost triggering a diplomatic crisis, but the French wizards could only swallow the bitter fruit with tears.

Seeing that Fudge was so frightened that he had no idea, Umbridge quickly stood up to support Zuo Si, and made a series of promises on behalf of the Ministry of Magic with a quick knife.

And announced to the outside world that all wizard councils will be convened to decide how to use the Philosopher's Stone and who will be the next resurrection candidate through collective voting.

Anyone who knows anything about this kind of referendum-like system understands that when something is decided in a similar way, backdoor dealing, corruption and bribery are almost inevitable.

So the representatives of pure-blood families with huge financial resources and influence are satisfied.

They believe that with the strength of their family, they will definitely be able to eat the biggest piece of cake.

Likewise, half-bloods and Muggle-borns were satisfied.

Because in the past, such good things never happened to me.

But now, not only can they have a sip of the soup, but they might even nibble on a piece of meat.

In this way, the crowd who were still fighting with red faces a few minutes ago became peaceful after a few minutes.

Umbridge gave full play to his strengths and quickly established a good relationship with more than a dozen wealthy pure-blood families.

When the show was over, she actually brought in a total of 1.6 million Galleons of sponsorship and donations for the Ministry of Magic.

Seeing that what was originally a tit-for-tat fight turned into various dirty deals in private, Dumbledore couldn't help but sighed slightly and said, "This is not the result I want to see."

Zuo Si sneered and asked back: "Then what result do you want to see?

Do I destroy the Philosopher's Stone once and for all in public?

No, Professor, even destroying the Philosopher's Stone will not calm the restlessness in these people's hearts.

Because they have seen the miracle of resurrection from the dead, they will do everything possible to let me make another one, or get the method of making it from me.

Moreover, politics is originally an art of compromise. I think it is much better to compete within the rules and framework than to directly flip the table.

After the established rules are formed, the potential threats you think will be greatly reduced.

Also, looking at the tears of excitement on Mrs. Weasley's face, don't you think it was all worth it? "

"Well—maybe you're right. Maybe I'm too old to keep up with this era, so I always subconsciously choose the most conservative attitude when facing new things. If I'm not wrong, you Should have helped Severus resurrect Harry's mother, right?" Dumbledore lowered his voice tentatively.

"Hehe, do you still need to ask this point? Just look at the happy smile on Professor Snape's face." Zuo Si simply chose to admit it.

Dumbledore followed up and asked, "Besides Lily, who else have you resurrected? Do you have Minerva's lover and brother?"

Zuo Si glanced at Professor McGonagall who was whispering with Gideon, and replied very playfully: "No, not yet. Professor McGonagall is a cautious person and wants to figure out the situation before deciding who to resurrect. However I think after today is over, she should come to me and ask for a piece of magic quicksilver."

"How much magic mercury do you have?" Dumbledore narrowed his eyes sensitively.

"Hmm—probably enough to resurrect five people. Why, do you have any relatives or friends who want to be resurrected?" Zuo Si raised his head and stared at the old man's wise blue eyes.

moment!

The greatest wizard of the time obviously hesitated, but soon shook his head lightly, and responded in an almost cold tone: "No! And... I don't want to disturb the sleep of any deceased."

After saying this, he turned and left the Ministry of Magic, disappearing from everyone's sight through apparition.

"My big brother is really a ruthless person, isn't he? Even if you have revealed that you are willing to take out a piece of magic mercury, he is still so cruel that he would rather refuse than resurrect his dead sister."

Aberforth appeared behind him at some point, with a trace of resentment evident in his tone.

"Why are you free to come to the Ministry of Magic?" Zuo asked without looking back.

Aberforth shrugged his shoulders and replied: "Of course it is to give Ariana a legal identity.

I have just donated fifty thousand galleons to the Ministry of Magic, and Umbridge promises to clear my sister's death record legally within the next month at the latest.

Besides me, Snape also donated one hundred thousand Galleons.

It seemed that he was already planning to have a showdown with Albus, and then hold a wedding with Lily in a fair manner. "

"So, are you ready to face the wrath of the principal?" Zuo Si was obviously taken aback.

Because he knew that Ariana was the most shady side in Albus Dumbledore's heart, and also the source of his guilt and remorse.

If there is anything in this world that can make this old man angry, excited and crazy, it must be the sister who was accidentally killed by him.

yes!

It was none other than Albus Dumbledore himself who killed Ariana, not one of the three as rumored to be.

After all, this world has such powerful magic props as the Pensieve!

Even if everything happened so suddenly that you didn't notice it, you can still go back through the way of memory, until you can fully display the pictures that you don't want to look back at.

Of course, it was none other than Aberforth who told Zuo Si the truth.

It was also because of this that more than a hundred years had passed since the tragedy of that year, but he still couldn't let go of it, and couldn't forgive his big brother.

"Angry? Huh! I want to see what kind of face he has in front of Ariana." Aberforth clenched the wand in his hand.

Zuo Si comforted softly: "Okay, don't be so excited, maybe Professor Dumbledore will readily accept all of this. By the way, how is Ariana doing now?"

"Not bad. She is exactly the same as when she was a child. Not only has she started to speak, but she is also full of interest in various toys. After a while, she should be able to communicate normally. To be honest, I still can't believe this Everything turned out to be true."

As soon as his sister was mentioned, Aberforth's attitude softened immediately, and there was infinite warmth in his eyes.

"In this case, then you must live a few more years, at least protect her until she gets married and has children, and have a happy family." Zuo Si joked with a smile.

Hearing this, Aberforth couldn't help laughing immediately: "Hahahaha! Don't worry, I'm in good health, and I can live another thirty years at least. If there is any heartless person who dares to make Ariana sad, I promise to cut off his head and stuff it in his ass. Besides, I still owe you a favor. I will never die until I repay it."

"It's scary! I doubt that Ariana's future suitors will be scared away by your vicious big brother." The corners of Zuo Si's mouth twitched slightly.

From his point of view, Aberforth is running all the way in the direction of "sister control".

It is estimated that if anyone dares to speak loudly to Ariana, he will immediately retaliate against him.

"It doesn't matter! Anyway, as long as Arianna likes it, I will find a way to get that guy to come and propose."

Aberforth grinned a chilling grin.
