This Hogwarts is not normal

Dumbledore lowered the Elder Wand helplessly.

Vincent held the floating resurrection stone in his hand.

It feels cold and rough to the touch, just like stones picked up by the river.

One minute passed, two minutes passed.

I shook the resurrection stone in my hand, but there was still no reaction.

"Hmm - it shouldn't be broken, right?"

Dumbledore frowned, his expression not looking good.

After all, it is a legendary magic item, so it cannot break after just a few drops.

The lack of reaction to Vincent only meant that the Resurrection Stone was not as powerful as imagined.

If you think about it seriously, resurrecting the dead is too outrageous.

"Professor, do you want to try it?"

As soon as Dumbledore touched the Resurrection Stone, his calm eyes suddenly changed.

"Ariana..." He murmured softly, slowly reaching out his other hand and gently touching the air in front of him.

Vincent turned and looked at Harry blankly.

Dumbledore's state should be that he saw some kind of illusion, and it was caused by the Resurrection Stone.

"Professor—Professor—"

Dumbledore, with red eyes, woke up and looked down at the Resurrection Stone in his hand.

“Alas—” he let out a long sigh, “it can’t truly resurrect the dead.

It summons a mysterious substance that only the bearer can see, creating one or more illusions that are far more real than memory. "

Vincent looked as if that was indeed the case.

The reason why the Resurrection Stone doesn't work on him is because of the passive defense of the natural Occlumency Master.

Unable to read memories, naturally unable to create illusions.

Similar to the function of the Mirror of Erised, no matter how real it is, it is nothing more than a false illusion.

Harry lowered his head and hesitated for a long time, "Professor, I want to meet my parents."

Dumbledore handed him the Resurrection Stone, and Vincent wisely took the golem and quietly walked out the door.

Even if it is a false illusion, it is still full of temptation for most people.

He was fortunate that he was a natural master of Occlumency, which allowed him to avoid sinking and falling as much as possible.

Dumbledore stood beside him, "Vincent, you are the only person who is not affected by the Resurrection Stone. I intend to give it to you for safekeeping."

Vincent was full of surprise, "Professor, this thing is of no use to me, I might as well give it to Harry."

"The Resurrection Stone is fatal poison to him and everyone." Dumbledore laughed at himself, "Of course, including me."

Being immersed in false illusions of the dead will eventually turn into a deep dependence.

What a sad thing.

Vincent solemnly agreed, "I will take good care of it."

Dumbledore raised his head and looked into the distance, "Since the Resurrection Stone cannot resurrect the dead, then the legend that one can become the master of Death by collecting the Deathly Hallows is probably false."

Why does the God of Death want to find a master for himself? Bored?

Therefore, the real makers of the Deathly Hallows should be their first owners, the three Peverell brothers.

The boss, Antioch, pursued power and created the Elder Wand that could enhance the power of spells, but was eventually killed by other people pursuing power.

The second son, Cadmus, missed his dead wife and led to the birth of the Resurrection Stone, but the false illusion tortured him to the point of committing suicide.

The third child, Ignotus, was very smart. He created a permanent and effective invisibility cloak and spent his life peacefully.

The so-called God of Death in the legend is actually people's fear of death.

Dumbledore retracted his gaze and said, "Death is just another great adventure."

Vincent nodded subconsciously, fully agreeing with this sentence.

Without death, he would not have traveled to this world and ushered in a great adventure.

"Professor, don't you go in and see Harry?"

"The family must have a lot to say, and I hope Harry can take the initiative to come out."

Vincent glanced at his watch.

At 7:, it’s dinner time.

He took out various kitchen utensils and ingredients from the small metal cube, "Professor, should we wait while we eat?"

Dumbledore pointedly said: "You are as well prepared as ever."

"Of course." Vincent cast a fire-making spell under the huge pan floating in front of him, "Eat on time to have a good body."

The words coming out of his mouth were particularly convincing.

Dumbledore's blue eyes turned on him, as if he had some new ideas.

Vincent felt a chill, and when he turned around he saw only a kind face full of wrinkles.

It's okay for Deng to fool Harry, but fool him?

Now that dinner is important, there is no time to worry about what evil ideas he has up his sleeve.

The cut beef is rolled up and down in the pan, and the rich sauce is spread evenly.

Cover and simmer for 10 minutes, and a simple beef stew is completed.

Meat alone is not good for digestion, so add some washed vegetables and mix them with appetizing mayonnaise.

Dumbledore nodded secretly.

Although most of it is done through magic, the cooking skills are obviously better than expected.

Vincent was not a stingy person, so he generously invited him to sit down and enjoy the meal together.

The beef stew is cooked just right, and every bite is filled with rich sauce.

The vegetables mixed with mayonnaise are just enough to relieve the greasiness.

After dinner, Harry still didn't leave Gaunt's old house.

Calculating the time, it was almost two hours, but Dumbledore was very patient.

Vincent had nothing to do, so he simply took out the alchemical golem he had just made.

The blackness on the fingertips was still there, but it seemed to have no effect on the devil.

"Professor, this curse only targets the human body?"

"I think so."

It's a pity that Dumbledore's research on dark magic curses is not as deep as Voldemort's, and Grindelwald's magic book is in the suitcase under the bed in the dormitory.

Vincent suddenly had an idea, "Professor, if I touch a living person with this finger of the devil, will all this curse be transferred?"

Dumbledore shook his head, "Strictly speaking, most curses are targeted and will not be transferred casually, but the alchemy golem is not a living creature in the true sense."

Then he nodded again, "I think Tom didn't take this into consideration when he arranged the curse, so the conditions for the activation of the curse were not set too complicated."

To put it simply, when Voldemort arranged the curse, he did not think of golems, an alchemical creation based on the human body.

But the devil is not a living creature after all, and the curse can only stay on the fingertips without actually being activated.

Therefore, the curse on the Resurrection Stone was transferred by coincidence. Whether it can be transferred to a living person remains to be verified.

Vincent lowered his head and thought, his eyes getting brighter and brighter.

Most curses only target living people, and alchemy demons do not idolize people.

For wizards exploring ancient ruins, the most deadly dangers are often unseen dangers.

Life is priceless. If there is an alchemy devil to explore the way for them, I believe they will pay no matter how high the price is.
