Chapter 268 266 Forbidden Ritual

Feeney took a closer look and found that, sure enough, there was a small cut on Harry's right forearm. Although the cut was not big, it was perfectly fine to draw blood.

This discovery made him look very ugly.

Seeing Finny's livid face, Sirius also realized the seriousness of the problem and asked quickly,

"Finny, what's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Feeney shook his head and did not tell them his guess. Instead, he took a piece of parchment and wrote down his thoughts, and asked the popsicle to be sent to Dumbledore.

Just when Sirius and Harry were confused and didn't know what was going on, Dumbledore appeared in front of the three of them in a blaze of flames.

"Finney, are you telling the truth?"

As soon as he appeared, he asked hurriedly to Feeney. There seemed to be a trace of regret in his tone.

Feeney nodded solemnly, pointed to the wound on Harry's arm and said,

"Now it looks like this. Harry was injured and saw blood. The most important thing is that there is a chance that his blood could be collected by others."

When Dumbledore heard this, his face turned very pale.

Upon hearing this, Sirius suddenly stood up from his chair, looked at Finny and asked,

"Are you sure someone else got Harry's blood?"

Harry still looked at the few people with a confused look on his face. Seeing that the faces of the three people in front of him were getting uglier than the last, he weakly raised his hand and asked the three of them,

"Well,,,, who can tell me, what happened?"

Finny sighed and motioned for Sirius, Dumbledore, and Harry to sit down.

"Sit down and take a breath. It has happened. No matter how much you worry, it won't change anything. Just relax."

After the three of them sat down, Feeney explained to Harry,

"Well, this problem should be part of your Defense Against the Dark Arts class in third grade. However, if you encounter it now, I'll talk to you in advance."

Feeney said, pointing with his left hand to the bookshelf next to the living room, and a heavy book fell into Harry's hand.

"This book introduces common black magic, curses, and curses in the magic world. It will be good for you to take a look at these things yourself."

Seeing the anxious look on Harry's face, Feeney got down to business.

"Okay, let's talk about what Sirius is worried about this time. Common curses are cast according to a certain medium, usually personal belongings of the person being cursed. For example, the Defense Against the Dark Arts class at Hogwarts Professorship is a cursed position. No one has been able to teach in this position for more than an academic year for many years, and the medium of this curse is the title of Defense Against the Dark Arts."

"Besides these, the most common one is to use blood to cast curses, and curses using blood are often fatal and cannot be solved without knowing the type of curse. This is what Sirius is worried about. However, That’s not what I’m worried about.”

Sirius looked anxious and impatient and said to Finny,

"That's not important yet. So, Finny, what are you worried about? Is there anything else that is more important than Harry's safety?"

Feeney suddenly changed his previous playful and unhurried attitude, and said to several people with a serious face,

"The things I'm worried about are indeed much more serious than this. I saw a special alchemy formula in a book before, which is a forbidden alchemy method."

"Taboo?"

Harry was very confused,

Dumbledore's expression also became serious. It seemed that he had thought of the method Finney said.

Finny nodded to Dumbledore and said,

"Professor, it's the kind you think of. The father's bones, unintentionally donated, can regenerate your son."

There was a special tone in Feeney's voice, as if he was reciting a special prayer.

“The flesh of your servant, a voluntary donation, may restore the life of your master.”

“The blood of your enemies, forced to give, can bring your enemies back to life!”

As the words "resurrection" appeared from Feeney's mouth, the sky outside suddenly darkened, and a bright lightning appeared immediately, deafening.

With the appearance of lightning, pouring rain covered London, casting an even more confusing layer of fog over the city itself, which was already full of smog.

Because of the arrival of heavy rain, the sky quickly darkened, causing the room with only the fireplace to lose most of its light sources, making it extremely dark.

The firelight of the fireplace illuminated the faces of several people, making their faces look a little livid.

Dumbledore sighed, looked at Finny and asked,

"So, you are suspicious..."

Feeney nodded and said,

"The only one who can call Harry an enemy is the Dark Lord who must not be named. Oh, by the way, his name cannot be mentioned in this room. Professor, I don't want to prepare a safe place." Room."

Dumbledore nodded. Although he was not afraid of the mysterious man and usually called him Voldemort or Tom, that did not mean that others would not be afraid of his power.

Of course, Feeney was not afraid of his power, but he also wanted to be less troublesome, so he never said his name directly. After all, he would know his name just by saying it, and if he came to find him, it would be nothing more than trouble. .

Sirius still looked at Finny and Dumbledore in confusion and asked,

"But, according to our previous judgment, hasn't he returned? Why do you still need Harry's blood?"

Finny sighed,

"This is why Professor Dumbledore and I don't look very good. At least I misjudged his situation. I originally thought that if he could resurrect Peter Pettigrew, he would definitely be able to resurrect himself. So, what I did before All judgments and measures are to deal with the situation that he has returned, but ignore that he may still be in a state between life and death."

Dumbledore nodded,

"As far as I know, there is an alchemical formula that can achieve that state. The main raw materials are snake venom and unicorn blood, combined with some uncommon herbs, which can temporarily create a body. , Come to think of it, he has done this before.”

Feeney lay on the sofa and said weakly,

"Although we have always had the idea and plan to resurrect him and then kill him completely, but that was also under our active choice. It is really not a good choice at this time. Sirius, your generation is still There are not many people who can fight Death Eaters, and the new generation has not yet fully grown up. According to the original time discussed by the professor and I, it should be when I am in sixth grade, or a little later, at least that time , we can already make all the preparations, and we are approaching graduation and can leave Hogwarts to participate in the battle at any time. Everything is the best time,"

Dumbledore said in agreement,

"Indeed, his return is too sudden now. There are still many things that we are not ready for, and many things require us to change our strategies. If we had judged before that his condition has not been completely resurrected, then the main task is to find him. Delay him and bring time to our side,"

Feeney's expression became more and more decadent, and his whole person was filled with an attitude of giving up.

"Forget it, I'm tired, let's just do it as we agreed before. Although I regret a little, many of the things we specified are not wrong. The only thing I'm worried about is..."

Dumbledore and Finny looked at Harry at the same time and sighed in unison,

They were worried about the same thing. The reason why the mysterious man could not touch Harry, and the reason why Harry could not be attacked by the mysterious man before he reached adulthood, was because of the effect of the protective spell left by Lily in his blood.

And this spell takes effect based on blood. Now, the mysterious man used Harry's blood when he was resurrected, which means that he obtained part of Harry's blood. Although the effect of this spell cannot be said to be ineffective, it is still significant. Discounted.

At least, as before, the idea that Harry would be safe from attack in the house on Privet Drive was unrealistic.

"So, should we take Harry over, or..."

After Finny and Dumbledore's explanation, Sirius also understood the problem of the failure of blood magic and asked,

"Anyway, the magic has expired, so there's no need for Harry to stay at his aunt's house for more than a week every year, right?"

Dumbledore shook his head,

"No, Harry still has to live with them. After all, they are Harry's only relatives, aren't they?"

As he said that, he blinked, which made Feeney feel sick, and he couldn't help but think that he, an old man who is about a hundred years old, was still blinking at a child, a boy...,,,, well, this When the old man was young, his partner was a man, and he was a very charming and handsome guy, which is understandable.

In fact, Feeney knew very well that the main reason why Dumbledore let Harry live at his aunt's house was not the effect of the spell at all, although this was also very important.

But what Dumbledore hopes is that Harry will grow up around his relatives, so that his heart will be full of love and he will not follow Tom's old path and become a paranoid Dark Lord. Well, in fact, it is more like a person without Terrorist leader of any revolutionary program.

However, in Feeney's opinion, Harry will not become like that because he is a Gryffindor. The reason why the mysterious man has such great ambitions is that Dumbledore did not believe him from the beginning. And he himself was deeply affected by Slytherin, a school with a bloodline, and began to trace his own bloodline, which led to greater ambitions, and finally became the Dark Lord today.

It is said that he wanted to be a professor at Hogwarts back then. If Dumbledore had agreed, it might be a different situation now.

etc! In this way, Grindelwald and Dumbledore were not clear about it before. Their earliest ideas were the same. If Dumbledore had not split with him because of the death of his sister, maybe Dumbledore would not be the White Devil. It's the Dark Lord. The mysterious man becoming the Dark Lord has something to do with Dumbledore.

Therefore, there is no doubt about Dumbledore's identity as the White Devil. He has been crucified and cannot be washed away.

After shaking his head, Feeney snapped his fingers.

Several house elves appeared in the living room and lit candles, dispelling the darkness.

He finally remembered to light the lamp. The four of them had been talking in the dark for a long time.

Finny looked at Harry and asked,

"Okay, let's not talk about these established things. Harry, has Sirius told you about my proposal? The magic world is not very peaceful now, so some of your previous plans should not be possible, at least not in the magic world. I’m wandering around in the world, so don’t think about traveling or anything like that. Do you want to go to Nico’s place with me?”

Looking at Harry's shocked eyes, Feeney smiled and said,

"Yes, that's the Nico you're thinking of. Professor Dumbledore will also go to him. Because the Sorcerer's Stone was destroyed, he doesn't have much time, so we plan to stay with this old man."

Harry said excitedly,

"I,,,,,I mean, can I? That's Nico Flamel, the one who made the Philosopher's Stone,"

Looking at the excited Harry, Feeney felt that he might not be excited about immortality or Nico's alchemy knowledge, but about the magic stone's Midas touch.

But it's understandable. After all, Harry is just a twelve-year-old child now. It's really difficult to expect him to understand the meaning of Nico's alchemy.

Dumbledore gave Harry the answer,

"Of course, Harry, I think Nico will be very happy to see you. You know, people tend to like children more as they get older."

Feeney added on the side,

"Especially for Mr. and Mrs. Nico, whose children are not around,"

After saying this, Finny was stunned for a moment, looked at Dumbledore and asked,

"By the way, does Senior Nico have any children? If so, normally he should have taken the elixir of immortality. In this case, a magic stone is not enough, not to mention that the magic stone has been destroyed now. ”

Dumbledore sighed and said,

"They had no children. Perenel had some physical problems. Although he was later cured by Nico, at that time they had lived for more than a hundred years and had long since lost sight of raising a child. Moreover, their situation, It would be a disaster for the wizarding world to have children,"

Finny frowned and asked,

"What is the situation of the Nicholas family in France today?"

Dumbledore smiled bitterly,

"They are the descendants of Nico's younger brother, and they can also be regarded as Nico's descendants. Nico helped them some in the early years, so this family is regarded as Nico's direct descendants. Of course, Nico But I never admitted it.”

Finny clicked his tongue twice and stopped talking about this topic. Instead, he looked at Harry, waiting for his answer. Should he go with them to spend this holiday with Nico?

"Although it may be boring at Nico's place, you will never be bored."
