Harry of the Sherlock Holmes

"It can be regarded as finished." Ron closed a thick book, and his whole body collapsed on the chair as if his bones had been removed. "Why do I feel that the recent homework is getting more and more difficult?"

Hermione looked at him with a look of resentment: "That's because you are not serious in class."

"I didn't." The movement of Ron jumping to swear almost attracted Mrs. Pince, the librarian, and he quickly lowered his voice, "I've been very serious recently."

"I also think the lessons have become more difficult lately," whispered Neville, who was struggling with his Potions thesis.

"The absinthe in the hemostatic agent is obtained from the tip of the leaf." Harry glanced at his homework and reminded, "That part has the most obvious medicinal effect."

"Thank you." Neville thanked him sincerely.His potion has always been bad, but with the help of his friends, he has improved a lot in the past two years, at least he won't just blow up the cauldron, "I don't quite understand this part of the explanation."

Hermione also leaned over to help, but Draco comforted him and said, "Don't worry too much, hemostatic agents should be a higher grade content." He is the one who knows the level of all potions best.

"That old...Professor Snape is trying to embarrass me on purpose—eh? The professors are really increasing the difficulty of the course, aren't they?" Ron, who still couldn't accept Snape's poisonous tongue, was about to protest the Potions professor's behavior, but suddenly reacted .

"It doesn't count," Draco said after thinking for a while, "The dean's recent courses are not selected based on difficulty, but from a practical point of view. Other professors should be the same."

"Our practice has also increased." Blaise was still rubbing his shoulders when he spoke. They had just returned from Grindelwald's Defense Against the Dark Arts class. "Draco, you are too hard."

Ron didn't care about this, he was happy to see "two poisonous snakes killing each other", he looked at Hermione with an expression when you were also at fault: "I just said that the difficulty of the course has increased?"

"Then tell me, why do the professors do this?" The little witch folded her arms around her chest and looked at him with a slight raise.

"Of course it's because—"

A silver phoenix flew in, which attracted the attention of many people: "Mr. Harry Potter, please come to the principal's office immediately."

"Professor Dumbledore's Patronus!" Hermione exhaled softly, and then looked at the boy with worried eyes. It was obvious that the headmaster informed Harry in such a blatant way at school that something was urgent, but he didn't know whether it was a good thing or not. bad.

"I see." Harry gestured to the phoenix, and said goodbye to his friends, "It's going to be nothing." He smiled reassuringly.

"That's because - the professors are all worried - something will happen." Ron continued muttering, his hands hanging beside him clenched into fists.It's not that he really doesn't feel anything, he just hopes to do something to break the dull atmosphere.

Harry was running in the corridor and almost bumped into someone. He vaguely saw that it was a girl with brown hair, but just as he was about to apologize, the other party disappeared.

"Really..." He had no choice but to gather his mind and rush to the principal's office again.

"Harry, there is news about that incident." Dumbledore told him as soon as he entered the door.

Harry couldn't help holding his breath, and stared at the other party closely. After a while, he heard his own dry voice asking: "What did Mr. Flamel say?" That's right, in Haierbo, Adela Potter and others who might know After the ghosts of the secrets of millennia ago were gone, the custodian of the Philosopher's Stone, Nicole Flamel, was as close to the truth as they could find.

"Harry, sit down first." Sirius said to his godson.They cast a space-expanding spell on the office, brought in more chairs, and turned it into a simple conference room.

"Okay." Harry nodded, but the uneasiness in his heart was getting heavier and heavier - the last time he saw Sirius with such a gloomy expression was when he was dealing with Regulus' affairs, now, what would make him How did the godfather behave like this?

Seeing that several people didn't know how to speak, Grindelwald took over the conversation: "Those parchment scrolls are indeed good experimental records. They are the notes of the resurrection stone by the Potters of the past."

"But isn't the Resurrection Stone a family heirloom of Slytherin? Why is the holder of the note my ancestor?" Harry wondered, rubbing his feet on the carpet involuntarily.Even if Peverell's blood makes the Potter and Slytherin families rely on each other in the study of the Deathly Hallows, they are not a whole, and there is no reason for the Slytherins to allow the Potter family to control their family's Xin family. dense.

"Because it can only be them."

"what?"

"Remember the story of the three brothers?" Grindelwald twirled his ring marked with the triangular symbol, "The boss got the Elder Wand, won the duel, but revealed the secret of the Deathly Hallows while drunk. That night, another wizard crept to his bedside, stole his wand, and slit his throat. The second child returned to the home where he lived alone, took out the resurrection stone, and summoned the one he wanted to marry but unfortunately died young. But the girl was sad, indifferent, and in agony. The second, driven mad by hopeless longing, committed suicide to be truly with her. Only the third, the ancestor of the Potters, was sought by death. For many years, he was never found. The third child lived until he was very old, and finally took off the invisibility cloak and handed it to his son. Then he greeted death like an old friend, and as equals, he was happy The earth died with him. In this game with the god of death, only Ignotus was truly victorious. Maybe this is just a legend, but his blood has special significance to the Deathly Hallows .” He took out Dumbledore’s wand and handed it to Harry: “Use any spell.”

What are you kidding?They are taught the importance of the wand to its master on their first day in the wizarding world - the wand chooses the wizard, not the wizard chooses the wand.Every wand is unique, and if you use a wand that doesn't belong to you, the magic will be less effective or even impossible to cast.Harry stared at the famous elder wand for a few seconds, then slowly said the spell: "Flowers are blooming."

Almost immediately, a beautiful bouquet of red tulips bloomed before Harry's eyes, and he could even see the tiny air bubbles between the petals that made the flowers sparkle white.

"It really didn't reject you." Dumbledore sighed.

Harry was still staring at the wand in his hand, disbelief flashed in his eyes - he didn't meet the conditions to be the owner of the wand.But this magic wand, although not as smooth as the phoenix tail feather, he could feel that he would be able to exert its full power.

After a long time, he regained his train of thought and asked Grindelwald again: "So the Resurrection Stone...is the same?"

"I believe you can. But..." Grindelwald smiled wryly, while Sirius covered his face, "Harry, you must know that all power in this world comes at a price."

"The souls summoned by the Resurrection Stone will slowly lose their feelings and become indifferent bystanders. Except for Potter, they will retain their feelings. But they must also... live in the Resurrection Stone forever."

"The death of an important member of the Slytherin family made them think of the resurrection stone. In order to make the research go smoothly, they found Potter. But what they didn't expect was that this research made the whole family fall into the abyss. Will throw in the towel, Harry, he won't let anyone go."

To be a ghost forever, trapped in a stone?Harry didn't dare to imagine how the long years would torture those who were once alive, and he desperately looked for reasons to refute these words: "Then what happened to Professor Binns, Barrow, and Madam Gray? ? They also have a consciousness of their own."

"The operation of Hogwarts' huge magical system requires energy. The Big Four once borrowed the resurrection stone as a power supply. After all, if the magic power of an item dissipates, it should not work. Probably that At that time, it affected the magic field of the school." Dumbledore spoke with difficulty, he couldn't bear to go on, because he knew that what happened next would be the biggest impact on the boy.

"Harry, you must know one thing. Your ancestors... they had self-awareness... but... once whoever has the Resurrection Stone, he can also control their actions."

"He didn't, right?" Harry was cold all over, trying hard to say, "Mother Lily once appeared in front of us, and Sirius also said that the note was a note from Father James, and they can still move freely!"

"But that was before." Snape said sullenly. "Now there are reports of people being attacked by undead, but the Ministry of Magic stupidly defines it as 'frightened after being attacked by a dementor'. Black The Demon King already has the Resurrection Stone, whether it's full power or not."

"But they disappeared again in a few days." Sirius sat down and stopped his godson's shoulder, and he really didn't want this guess to come true.

"There haven't been many dementors lately." Snape frowned. "The Dark Lord seems to have stopped all activity." Neither he nor Lucius had been summoned. Of course, it was possible that they were no longer trusted.But the craziest Death Eaters were already worn out, and most of the rest were half-hearted about Voldemort, who didn't have much choice.

"The dementors won't just be wiped out like this." Sirius gritted his teeth and said, he knew all about this dark creature, "The Patronus Charm only temporarily dispels them, as long as there is negative emotion, they will reappear of."

"Could it be—" Everyone turned to Lupine who was speaking, except for Harry, who felt like he couldn't listen to anything right now.This makes adults worry a lot, but worrying is useless, they have to find a solution to the problem.

"Could it be that Voldemort is accumulating power?" Lupine said, "Dementors, undead, werewolves... These creatures will have special powers when the dark power is strong. The last werewolf invasion... If it wasn't for the discovery of souls If there is a problem with the device, he should also choose to do it on the full moon."

"That makes sense." Dumbledore nodded. "The dementors and undead who fled before may be because Voldemort has not completely controlled them. But this time... When will it be? We just spent a Quiet full moon night."

Grindelwald waved his hand, and the dark green time was displayed in the air.He squinted his eyes: "Halloween, there are still a few days, it will come."

"Minerva," Dumbledore was silent for a while, "prepare an announcement, and hope the children will be happy that they will have a Halloween holiday soon."
