Chapter 126 The Fairy's Memory
Cyrus followed Dumbledore out of the ward and stayed in the hospital corridor.
There were people coming and going here, pharmacists and nurses in white cloaks were walking around in a hurry, and patients under the spell were moaning. It was really not a good place to talk. But Dumbledore just waved his wand gently, and those noisy sounds disappeared.
Cyrus felt that he and Dumbledore were like two incompatible souls, drifting outside the world.
"Mr. Dumbledore..."
"Mr. Deluxe, regarding Tom Riddle... let's call him Cyrus. You know, during the trial, he seemed to only say this sentence. I think we can respect his thoughts. ." Dumbledore winked at Cyrus mischievously.
Cyrus didn't know what the old guy was thinking, but he was on pins and needles.
"You just said that when Miss Tonks was following the goblins and dark wizards, you immediately followed them, right?"
"Yes, sir."
Dumbledore nodded: "So, you have been secretly observing their actions for the whole afternoon?"
"Yes, sir, those dark wizards and goblins captured Tonks, but they have not taken any action. Instead, they are waiting for night. It seems that the ritual of sacrifice requires the magic of moonlight to be completed," Cyrus said.
Dumbledore nodded: "It is not easy to see the traces of ancient magic. It requires more outstanding talents." He did not dwell too much, but changed his words and asked a pointed question.
"Delix, you saw Cyrus appear and fight, what kind of person do you think he is?"
"I?"
Cyrus tensed up almost immediately.
"I don't know sir, I just saw him appear from a distance and saw his great strength."
Dumbledore nodded and asked again: "So, Delis, what about you? Are you feeling well and not injured?"
"No, sir."
Dumbledore said nothing more. The miserable and painful wails in their ears came back, and the two of them suddenly returned to reality, and this anticlimactic conversation ended.
Until Dumbledore's figure disappeared from the stairs at the corner of the corridor, Cyrus didn't understand what answer Dumbledore got from him.
He walked back to Tonks' ward in silence, rationally telling him that his current status might not be so safe. But Cyrus then thought about it, changing his identity might not be able to hide it from Dumbledore's eyes.
He thought that the old man was testing, and the last question was not so much about caring about him as it was about asking him whether he had endangered the safety of John Dellux.
‘He knew, but he didn’t expose it. ’
Cyrus realized this immediately, which reassured him.
No matter what, as long as Dumbledore doesn't just kill him with a knife.
Perhaps the old man also realized the difference between Cyrus and Voldemort, and perhaps he planned to continue to observe to see what kind of changes this resurrected soul would bring.
But no matter what, it didn't matter to Cyrus. He originally didn't want to be a world-destroying devil and cause a huge crisis. It was enough as long as Dumbledore stayed out of his way.
Of course, Cyrus believed that Dumbledore would try every means to test Cyrus in order to verify his suspicions. But as long as he doesn't take action personally, it won't be a big problem.
He returned to the ward, where Fudge and Scrimgeour were having a heated discussion about goblins.
Scrimgeour was very dissatisfied with Docolo's cooperation with the dark wizard in an attempt to obtain the wand. Coupled with the bloodshed caused by so many goblin rebellions in history, Scrimgeour hoped to suppress the goblins.
Fudge rejected Scrimgeour's proposal on the grounds that there was no definite evidence.
Although the goblin has a lot of gold galleons in his hands, he doesn't want to cause more trouble. The conflict between goblins and wizards was very acute. If the suppression was overdone and violent conflicts broke out, he would have a headache.
No one in the British magical community, which had just emerged from the Dark Ages, liked war.
He only hopes to be re-elected safely, earn a few more galleons during his reign, earn some good reputation, and then retire peacefully and become a Minister of Magic with a good reputation who can lead everyone out of fear and towards peace. . Instead of getting a bad reputation as a bellicose.
"Let's forget about this..." he said, "Tonks and Delis, you two should rest for a while, don't participate in other tasks, and have a good vacation."
He looked considerate to his subordinates: "Delix, have you not been home for a long time? Your wife must miss you very much!
"And Tonks, we haven't told your parents about your hospitalization yet. I think it's best for you to go back and stay with them. The job of an Auror is always dangerous."
"Fudge! If we let those goblins run wild, they might launch another rebellion!" Scrimgeour was so angry that his hair shook like kelp.
"Ah, Scrimgeour - you are too radical. This is not good." Fudge said, "Everything can be negotiated. We have set up a goblin liaison office, right?"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but pick up Scrimgeour's shoulders and lead him out.
"We can have a good talk with the person in charge of the Goblin Brotherhood, but I want to remind you that during the negotiations, don't say anything that is not conducive to unity."
The two men also left, leaving Cyrus, Tonks and Moody in the ward looking at each other.
After a moment, Moody shook his head in disappointment: "Such a person actually became a minister, haha."
Cyrus did not stay in the hospital for long. Moody was an old widower and could stay day and night to take care of Tonks. But in fact, Tonks could be discharged the next day.
Without work for the time being, Cyrus had to return to Dawlish's home. The beautiful wife of Dawlish's family surrounded him happily when she saw him, and Cyrus could only use the Confusion Charm to confuse her.
He was still thinking about Lily Potter being a silent person.
Thinking that she might have left some manuscripts of ancient magic, just like Lanlock's manuscripts.
"Maybe, I should find time to go to Godric's Hollow to have a look." Cyrus thought.
But there is no rush. Godric's Hollow is just a possibility. Lanlock's memory is the closest to ancient magic at the moment.
The development of this magical world is obviously not exactly the same as that of "Legacy". The evidence is that since the Triwizard Tournament was stopped, there has never been a transfer student in Hogwarts. However, many NPCs and even villains that appear in "Legacy" are real people in history.
For example, Lanlock is a goblin who really existed.
And Professor Figo - Cyrus checked some archives and confirmed that he was attacked by a dragon on the way to Hogwarts to take up his post, and unfortunately died, becoming the first professor in history to die unexpectedly before taking office.
Cyrus took out a clean glass bottle and took out the silver fluorescent thread in the glass bottle.
Then, he reached out and grabbed the memory in his hand.
The memory was like a feather falling into the gray lake, rippling, and slowly sinking into Cyrus's thoughts.
He didn't need a pensieve to see this memory.
Of course, Doklo's memory was irrelevant. What was important was Lanlock's manuscript.
In the silver-gray world, an ancient scroll unfolded before Cyrus’ eyes like an ink painting.
