Reborn at Hogwarts - Chapter 144

c142 Dumbledore returns

Jade record.

The alchemy scroll from ancient Egypt was discovered in the form of a “stone slab” in the records, but in Rowena Ravenclaw’s memory, it looked like an ancient book.

And brought a fatal curse to Godric Gryffindor and Helga Hufflepuff, who were also the founders of the academy.

But judging from the memory in the secret room, they seem to have gotten rid of the curse?

But that’s not important for now.

What made Ivan a little concerned was the information revealed by Rowena and Gryffindor during the conversation in the cabin.

His ancestor, Mr. Geralt Vesemir, who was a man behind the scenes from the inside to the outside, threw himself on it hungrily after he got the “Jade Record”, and didn’t come out for three days. Go through the door.

Judging from the timeline, he should have established contact with the kingdom of the dead after obtaining this ancient scroll.

What happened after that, Ivan still doesn’t know, but he can be sure that it is not a good thing.

As long as there is a connection with the country of the dead, it is not a good thing.

Paracelsus is an obvious example.

Ivan sighed.

It wasn’t until now that he realized that he had screwed up a lot of things unknowingly.

He, a butterfly from another world, flapped its wings, so the Horcrux diary was published in advance, Tom Riddle came back with the basilisk in Harry Potter’s first grade, Paracel hidden in the fog of history Seuss stepped onto the stage and began to stir up trouble…

If his life is a “Harry Potter” fan fiction, then the author must not be able to write it anymore, right?

Let’s hurry up and confirm the “petrification” problem caused by Rowena Ravenclaw’s diary before thinking about other things…

Let’s wait for Dumbledore to come back.

…

To Ivan’s surprise, Dumbledore left school this time for an unexpectedly long time.

Ten days after Halloween, Professor McGonagall found a spare time to tell Ivan that Dumbledore had just returned and wanted to see him.

Under the coordination of Professor McGonagall, Ivan swaggered out of the Potions class and came to the principal’s office under Severus Snape’s gloomy gaze.

Oh, by the way, Snape and McGonagall, who fainted in the girls’ bathroom, returned to normal that night under Madam Pomfrey’s careful care. Fortunately, it did not affect the subsequent lessons.

As for the problem of having to temporarily borrow two wands from Ivan’s inventory because Riddle took away their wands, it can only be regarded as an insignificant episode.

…

After passing through the dutiful guard of the stone beast, after arriving at the principal’s office, Ivan saw Dumbledore, who had not seen him for a long time, sitting in his chair and meditating, as if he hadn’t noticed Ivan entering the room at all.

The boy coughed twice, and the old wizard woke up.

“Long time no see, Ivan.” After confirming the identity of the visitor, Dumbledore smiled, “How have you been all this time? The stone beast told me that you came to see me the next day, I regret that I was no longer at Hogwarts.”

“You went to Nicole Flamel’s.”

Ivan said bluntly.

Dumbledore’s brows frowned slightly, then relaxed again, and nodded to Ivan appreciatively, “Yes, I went to visit my old friend, Nicole Flamel, and I got some from him. Inspiration, maybe it can help us tide over the difficulties.”

After a pause, he immediately showed curiosity, “How did you guess that?”

“One of my elders said that only magic can defeat magic.” Ivan shrugged, “Facing an opponent like Paracelsus, of course knowledge of alchemy is needed to defeat him. In this world Now, besides him, isn’t the most powerful alchemist left only Nicole Flamel?”

Dumbledore nodded, motioning for Ivan to take his seat.

Ivan sat across from him without hesitation.

Dumbledore didn’t ask Ivan how he knew about Nicole Flamel, and Ivan didn’t mean to confess.

The old wizard knew about Ivan’s anomaly a long time ago.

After the boy sat down, Dumbledore waved, and immediately a plate of fruit jelly appeared on the table. He took a piece, but didn’t stuff it into his mouth right away, “I guess you must have some information you want to tell me, don’t you?”

“Before that, I want to ask you a question.”

Ivan didn’t answer, but asked instead, “Can you take me to see Nicole Flamel? I have some questions to ask.”

Visiting Nicole Flamel is an idea that Ivan had after he started learning alchemy, but he has never put it into action because there is no suitable reason.

Now because of the issue of the ancient alchemy scroll “Jade Record”, Ivan is very eager to see him.

For this request, Dumbledore did not show any surprise, but just took a serious look at Ivan, then nodded and agreed, “Yes.”

“However, his recent physical condition is not particularly good. I suggest that it is best to take you with me in a few days.” He added, “If you just tell you the address, you will not be able to find it without an acquaintance leading you.” got there.”

“Thanks.”

Although he was slightly dissatisfied with the need to wait a few days before the official visit, Ivan still readily agreed.

After agreeing to Ivan’s request, Dumbledore stopped talking.

Obviously waiting for Ivan to speak.

The old bee… Ivan sneered in his heart.

He came here this time to solve the problem, so he didn’t care about Dumbledore’s behavior at this time, and tried to use simple words to describe what he encountered on Halloween night.

When he heard that Riddle had been resurrected, Dumbledore’s expression did not fluctuate, obviously he already knew it.

When he heard “Ravenclaw Chamber of Secrets”, his expression finally changed.

“I’ve heard the legend… In addition to Salazar Slytherin, the other three founders also left secret rooms in the school for their own purposes.”

After Ivan finished speaking, Dumbledore sighed.

“It’s just that I never found it.”

“Do you know what their purpose is?” Ivan asked, “I mean… Slytherin left the Chamber of Secrets so that his descendants can clean up those children he thinks are not suitable for studying at Hogwarts , so what about the others? Why did they leave the secret room?”

For this question, Dumbledore shook his head regretfully.

“I don’t know much.” He said in a low voice, “Maybe, you should ask other people. For example, our former principal?”

His gaze turned to the paintings on the wall.

Ivan also looked over.

Under the gaze of the two, an old wizard with an old face and only a few strands of white hair left on his bald head blinked.
