Chapter 453 The Master of Death
"Don't say that, Severus! You should be more tolerant to an elderly man. I occasionally make mistakes." It was about the Three Holy Artifacts. Dumbledore did not mean to explain in detail, but teased. said.
Snape looked at him with a sneer, but soon remembered something, his expression changed, and he stared at the old man in front of him suspiciously.
"No! Your injury occurred a few days ago, otherwise it would not have worsened to this extent. But I just saw you two days ago." Snape narrowed his eyes and questioned.
"I was injured and couldn't meet other people at that time," Dumbledore explained in a vague tone, stroking the golden ring and staring at the holes and broken cracks that had been burned out on the ring.
He spent a lot of time and tried countless methods before he found a way to destroy the Horcrux - that was the Fire Curse!
Since he had not used black magic for decades, he almost forgot how to use it.
"So the person I met two days ago was really not you?" Snape's face looked very ugly.
Although Dumbledore didn't say who it was, Snape filtered the possible candidates in his mind, and combined with the other party's recent weird behavior, he quickly came to a conclusion.
"Is it Ivan Hals? That little devil? He used Polyjuice Potion to pretend to be you, under your instructions?" Snape said with certainty.
Praising yourself and adding hundreds of points to Gryffindor House is very similar to what Ivan Hals would do.
The corners of Snape's mouth kept twitching. He remembered that two days ago, he ran to the other party to complain.
But how did Ivan Hals know about the agreement?
Snape was very puzzled. Only he and Dumbledore should know about this matter.
But Snape thought back to what Ivan had said in reply to him.
The other party seems to be saying: Our agreement is always valid!
Snape's face suddenly darkened. He understood that he had been tricked. The other party seemed to have answered his question, but he didn't say anything at all.
"What? What happened?" Dumbledore noticed that Snape's face looked ugly, and raised his eyebrows and asked.
Snape was not going to talk about his dark history, but instead changed his words and questioned Dumbledore for letting a child who had not yet graduated to take on the duties of the principal's deputy. It was like child's play.
"But he was able to successfully fool Fudge, the Minister of Magic, and us professors. It seems that boy is more suitable for the position of principal than you," Snape said sarcastically.
Dumbledore didn't pay attention to Snape's sarcastic words. Instead, he looked very happy and said.
"Do you think so, Severus? This just means that I have chosen the right person! When choosing an agent, I originally thought about asking you or Minerva, but I think children might be more suitable. Looking forward to a different principal”
Despite saying this, Dumbledore knew very well that neither McGonagall nor Snape were suitable as agents.
Although Mag is powerful and has rich experience in handling things, her personality tends to be conservative and rigid. Unlike Ivan, who is not as escapist and regards rules as nothing, she is likely to be at a disadvantage if she is easily restrained against the Minister of Magic Fudge.
And Snape has a long-standing feud with Sirius, so he is not a suitable candidate either.
Therefore, his choice of Ivan Hals was completely helpless because he could not find a more suitable person. Fortunately, it seems from the results that he did not choose the wrong person.
Snape really couldn't stand Dumbledore's crazy words. He wanted to ask how the other party could fulfill the agreement with him in his current state.
But Snape finally held back and did not say anything. He understood that the old man had been seriously injured in order to completely eliminate the Dark Lord, and he had no reason to blame him.
After leaving a few reminders, Snepriso rolled up his sleeves and left. Once again, a lonely old man was left in the huge principal's office.
Dumbledore pondered alone, but did not think about the Horcrux again. In his current state, he was not suitable to find the whereabouts of the next Horcrux.
Dumbledore directly focused his attention on the two Deathly Hallows on the table. He hesitated and picked up the Elder Wand, used magic to draw a vertical line on the desk, and put on the ring. Added a circle on top
Finally, Dumbledore thought of Harry's Invisibility Cloak and added a triangle outside the vertical lines and circles.
The faint magical fluorescence hooked together to form a weird pattern like a triangular eye. The difference is that the middle of the pupil is not an eyeball but a vertical line!
"The Elder Wand, Resurrection Stone, Invisibility Cloak!" Dumbledore whispered the names of the three Deathly Hallows, thinking about what secrets they held.
Legend has it that whoever possesses all the Deathly Hallows will become the master of Death.
But in addition to the Resurrection Stone he just obtained, he had studied the other two Deathly Hallows in depth during his long-term possession.
However, there was no harvest, as if the two Deathly Hallows were just more powerful alchemical items, which once made him doubt the authenticity of those rumors.
"Does having them all mean that you need three pieces together?" Dumbledore stared at the pattern, and an idea suddenly emerged. Perhaps there will be some wonderful changes when the three Deathly Hallows are put together.
But the Resurrection Stone was damaged in the process of destroying the Horcrux. I don't know if it will have any impact.
At the same time, in the Gryffindor common room, Harry, who was surrounded by a lot of books and was a little dizzy, finally couldn't help but explode.
"Oh my god! Why do I have to spend so much time understanding the British International Law and the Muggle Protection Act? It has nothing to do with this case!" Harry complained loudly.
But his voice was quickly suppressed by Hermione, and the little witch looked at him with wide eyes and refuted.
"Why doesn't it matter? Open the book and take a closer look. Peter Pettigrew killed thirteen Muggles, which falls within the jurisdiction of the Muggle Protection Act!
And he used a spell of mass destruction in the street to reveal the existence of the magical world, which violated the provisions of the British International Law! "
"In addition, Peter, as a Death Eater, also committed seven crimes related to war crimes, which are also covered by British International Law."
Hermione talked eloquently, and then looked at Harry in surprise. "I remember you've been reading it for almost an hour, haven't you memorized these regulations yet?"
