Chapter 61 Nico Flamel’s scam

Talking about the unpleasant topic of destroying wands, the wandmaker felt a little depressed.

"Every Ollivander wand is unique, and I remember every wand I sell." Mr. Ollivander said as if those wands were his children, "Although the owners of those wands Maybe I did something wrong, but I should be the one to destroy the wand. They were born from my hands, and they should end here. Just like Nico Flamel and his Philosopher's Stone."

Regulus looked at the counter, where there was an open copy of the Daily Prophet.

He quickly glanced at the content on the page, thoughtfully.

After the purchase was completed, Regulus returned to Grimmauld Place NO.12.

In the restaurant, Sirius was casually wearing a chocolate-colored velvet nightgown and was dealing with the sandwiches and smoked fish on the plate without any image, with the strange tattoo on his chest exposed.

After seeing Sirius, Antalis, who had been lying in Regulus' arms pretending to be asleep, suddenly turned over and jumped down, turned into a white shadow, jumped directly to Sirius, and used her paws to pull his sleep. robe.

"Merlin's motorcycle!" Sirius yelled exaggeratedly, "Scared me, where did the cat come from?"

"I bought her to relieve your boredom. If you don't like it, I will take her away..."

Before he finished speaking, Regulus realized that he was completely overthinking.

Sirius reached out and gently stroked Antalis' head, and picked up a piece of smoked fish and fed it to her.

"Cats with this kind of eye color are not common...James also raised a kitten before, but then it disappeared..." At this point, Sirius shook his head to get those bad thoughts out of his mind, "She called what name?"

"Antalis."

Sirius stared at the cat's heterochromatic eyes. The red light in her right eye was like a bright ruby.

"Nice name." Sirius was satisfied.

"Meow."

In the whole room, only Kreacher, who was cleaning the kitchen, looked dissatisfied.

"Is this why you left home so early in the morning?" Sirius asked.

"Just dropping by, mainly to buy some teaching supplies." Regulus hung his coat on the hanger and said casually, "By the way, I have two pieces of news to tell you. Which one do you want to hear first?"

"Bad news."

"Your friend Lupine was here last night..."

Sirius wanted to say something, but Regulus stretched out his hand to silence him, and then said: "He said he was going to Wales to investigate the matter of Fenrir Greyback, and he might not be able to come back for a while."

Upon hearing the name Fenrir Greyback, Sirius's face immediately darkened, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I told Moon Face a long time ago that talking nonsense with Greyback is a waste of time, so we should just kill that bastard." .”

"Your tone reminds me of Barty Crouch," Regulus said. "I saw him today."

This time, Sirius' expression became even worse. He used too much force to stroke Antalis, which aroused the cat's dissatisfaction. A claw mark immediately appeared on the back of his hand.

"If he doesn't stay at the Ministry of Magic and work hard, why is he running around?"

"It is said that some foreign wizards have disappeared in the UK recently. He works in the Department of International Cooperation of the Ministry of Magic. He may be helping with the investigation." Regulus speculated.

"Hopefully everything goes well for Moony Face...what about the good news?"

Regulus said nothing, but handed Sirius a copy of the latest Daily Prophet.

The photo on the front page was of a skinny old man who looked hundreds of years older than Dumbledore, looking like a skeleton that could fall apart at any time.

The title is written below in large bold font: Where will the last magic stone go?

"Breaking news: According to our special reporter Rita Skeeter, the famous French alchemist, maker and owner of the Philosopher's Stone, Mr. Nico Flamel, recently announced a surprising decision. He will Destroy the Philosopher’s Stone during Halloween this year…”

"What kind of good news is this?" Sirius quickly scanned the article.

"...'I feel very sorry for Mr. Flamel's decision. Perhaps from now on, we can only read stories about the Philosopher's Stone in history books." The famous historian Bathilda Bagshot was interviewed At that time, she said that she had tried to persuade Nico Flamel, but she could not change his mind..."

"...According to the author's speculation, this may be a sales method of Nico Flamel. Those who yearn for the Magic Stone may spend a lot of money to buy the Magic Stone before Halloween to prevent it from being destroyed..."

"...But the author advises these wealthy wizards to think carefully. After all, the efficacy of the magic stone only exists in legends. Maybe the whole incident is a scam planned by Nico Flamel. The follow-up to this incident , the author will conduct follow-up reports..."

Sirius threw the newspaper on the table.

"It's Rita Skeeter again, I really doubt she has some ulterior relationship with the editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet." Sirius said with disgust, "Her articles can't even be trusted with punctuation. "

"Sounds like you know her very well?" Regulus raised his eyebrows.

"When I was in Azkaban, my only pastime was playing Scrabble in the newspaper. Her articles would appear on it every now and then, and most of them were rubbish." Sirius said in a very disdainful tone, "There was only one article. I find it quite interesting to write about Dumbledore as a rigid old madman."

"Then I'll have to find a chance to read it." Regulus said with a smile, "But I have to admit that her nonsense is indeed correct."

"What do you mean? Could it be..."

"Yes, this is a scam planned by Nico Flamel, targeting those who yearn for the Philosopher's Stone." Regulus said, "Of course, the mastermind is Dumbledore."

Sirius thought quickly, then clapped his hands together, his face full of excitement.

Antalis jumped to the side and stared at him dissatisfied.

"I understand! They want to lure Voldemort out. The Sorcerer's Stone...the elixir of life...Voldemort definitely doesn't want to miss this opportunity to be resurrected! He's going to fight Voldemort, right? Moon Face went to Wales to spy on intelligence... That's right. pass!"

"Even if there is a fight, it has nothing to do with you. Dumbledore will not let you show up. You can only hide here until the truth is revealed."

Regulus' words were like a basin of cold water, dousing Sirius' emotions instantly.

"It's Dumbledore again... I don't know when you became a fan of Dumbledore?" Sirius smoothed Antalise's hair and said sarcastically, "Should you also take his newspaper clippings? Posted on the wall? I have to remind you, those Voldemorts on your bedroom wall will not welcome new guests into the house."

"What should I say? Since even the Dark Lord is afraid of...or afraid of him, ordinary people like us should give him some respect."
