Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
Chapter 87: The Buried History of the Peverell Family (Part )
(One more chapter today because the group is friendly.)
….
"We all know that the Elder Wand does exist."
Anriel said.
Xenophilius listened to Anriel's words and nodded in agreement.
"The remaining two items... that is, the Resurrection Stone and the Invisibility Cloak..."
"Did you find it?"
Xenophilius interrupted Anriel's narration and blurted out a question that he "thought was stupid".
"Ah... I mean..."
Just as Xenophilius was about to explain, he was stunned because he heard Anriel say this:
"Yes, I found it."
"what?"
Anriel nodded again as if to emphasize the point.
Now it was Xenophilius' turn to be shocked.
"What? I mean, how? Which one?"
For a pilgrim or believer, it is normal to be incoherent when the legend he firmly believes in appears before his eyes.
"I'm not sure, Mr. Lovegood, but history shows us that—
The other two holy artifacts besides the invisibility cloak are both worthy of the name of ‘death’. They are both extremely dangerous and mysterious…”
Xenophilius nodded in agreement.
Anriel lied, how could he not confirm the authenticity of the Resurrection Stone?
And the purpose of Anriel's move...
"So, Mr. Lovegood, do you know anything that can identify them?"
Anriel asked sincerely, looking full of sincerity, as if he really didn't know.
Xenophilius hesitated.
Seeing his hesitation, Anriel's heart skipped a beat.
He knew...he had won the jackpot.
Hesitation means knowing.
The bet was right!
Xenophilius is no ordinary man!
Anriel hid his ecstasy under calmness, with a curious look on his face.
He knew that it was impossible for an ordinary wizard family to wear the Peverell family crest to attend formal occasions for no reason.
In the original novel, Xenophilius was invited to the wedding of Fleur and Bill. When he attended this solemn and blessed formal occasion, he wore a "faith" that was completely different from the two newlyweds.
This is not proper etiquette.
An Ruier had a very famous saying in his previous life:
“After discarding all the wrong answers, the one that remains, no matter how impossible it is, is the truth.”
If we assume that the Deathly Hallows do not represent Xenophilius's "faith"...
The only possibility is...
"Well, kid—you know, our Luna is kind of obsessed with you—so I'm telling you this.
This is a secret known only to us Lovegoods."
It stands for "bloodline".
Xenophilius paused for a moment, as if recalling something.
"First of all, anyone who knows a little about the Peverell family knows that the three Peverell brothers really existed. In other words, they are definitely not three phantoms made up in some legend."
Anriel nodded, agreeing with Xenophilius's statement, because there was no doubt about it.
Ignotus's tomb still stands in Godric's Hollow.
Xenophilius continued:
“The eldest brother, Antiochus, is the brave and aggressive eldest brother in the legend. We are more inclined to think that he invented the extremely powerful and invincible magic wand.
No one knows, except Antiochus himself, what the principle of the Elder Wand is..."
Anriel took a deep breath, but of course no one knew.
He might be the only one who understands how the Elder Wand works -
Without the rich power of death, the Elder Wand is just an ordinary wand, unable to bring all its previous masters and enemies into the abyss of death.
Xenophilius did not notice the change in Anriel's expression:
“But Antiochus is dead.
It is no surprise that he died at the hands of the villain behind the scenes.
He was the first of the three brothers to see death."
There is no doubt about this. If we really talk about the records, there are the least records about the eldest brother Antiochus. There has never been any mention of his marriage or offspring. There is only his brief battle experience.
But the Elder Wand has the most records in history.
This, it has to be said, is ironic.
“So we can actually infer something…
The Deathly Hallows, for example, were not invented at the same time."
Xenophilius' words were like a bolt from the blue, opening up new ideas in Anriel's mind.
"It seems you understand something...
We…who know more about the Deathly Hallows, believe that Antiochus’s accidental death may have been one of the reasons Cadmus invented the Resurrection Stone.”
When Xenophilius mentioned "us", he paused slightly, as if he had changed his words temporarily - he was deliberately hiding something.
"The story of the Resurrection Stone is very long, please allow me to tell it last."
Anriel nodded and skipped the Resurrection Stone...Then the next Deathly Hallows would be the Invisibility Cloak. For this thing, there are more things we can trace back to its origins.
Start at the bottom, the Potter household.
Xenophilius begins from the beginning:
"The Invisibility Cloak, as the last Deathly Hallows, was created by the cautious and meticulous third brother, Ignotus.
It will never fade and cannot be damaged.
In fact, it is rumored that the Invisibility Cloak can ward off certain deadly spells..."
Apparently, he was talking about Avada Kedavra.
However, as far as Anriel knew, the invisibility cloak did not help the Potter family survive -
Whether it was James Potter who had the invisibility cloak at the time, or Lily Potter who could theoretically be protected by the invisibility cloak but gave up survival and chose to let her children survive.
But think about it, none of them had been hit by the Killing Curse while wearing the Invisibility Cloak, had they?
Therefore, whether the invisibility cloak can resist the Avada Kedavra curse is really an unsolved mystery.
Xenophilius shuddered, as if he felt that what he said was a little too ominous.
"But apparently, no one has the guts to try it."
