[HP] The Dark Duke's Candy

A night at Hogwarts Candice hadn't seen in many, many years.

She couldn't remember how she spent her last night at Hogwarts, just as she couldn't remember who she had been with during her student life.

No, maybe she did.

Standing in front of the window of the office, opening the window, Candice sat on the edge of the window, reaching out to touch the dark night, on which there were dots of starlight, twinkling like a beating heart.

The stars are like the heart of the moon.

What about her heart?

Or, does her heart beat?

Candice withdrew her hand and put it on her heart. The heart can beat, otherwise she would have died, but her heart beat very slowly, how slow... so slow that she almost had no patience to wait for it The next jump is over.

Candice slowly moved away from the window sill.

In fact, she remembered who was the person who accompanied her through her student life.

The reason why she came back here again was because of that person.

But she can't feel any emotion anymore, she only knows that she has such a mission and a purpose, but she can't feel any emotion for anyone.

Dumbledore, that person, even her son, the son she remembered not fulfilling her obligation to support, and the Harry she saw at the sorting ceremony, she just knew the relationship between them, the inevitable connection they should have, But she couldn't feel any emotion.

Is this the price of resurrection?

Is that the price of being Anastasia?

Candice clutched her heart and walked towards the bedroom a little bit. She thought that she might still not be able to fall asleep tonight, just like every night after waking up, but she would still try to fall asleep.

Office of the Headmaster of Hogwarts.

There are many old books on Dumbledore's desk. They may look older than him. If you are not careful when turning the pages, the pages may be torn to pieces.

Dumbledore was very careful, he carefully and carefully read each book, and looked for a way for Candice to regain her feelings by the dim light of the candle.

Horcrux, a terrible and evil thing, Candice resurrected with Horcrux cannot be perfect.

Coming back from the dead, breaking the rules, must pay some price.

When he saw Candice open her eyes again, he knew the price she had paid.

She became numb and indifferent. Although she still had a natural trust and dependence on him, and still had an innate sense of mission and responsibility, she had no feelings anymore.

She is like a tool, coming to complete the task, if this is her state again, then Dumbledore would rather never resurrect her.

He'd rather have her become a handful of dirt under that tombstone in Godric's Hollow than have her live again but only for someone else.

...and Voldemort.

Candice paid the price for the resurrection, and Voldemort must have paid the price too.

What price did he pay?

How many Horcruxes does he have?

This may not be known until they meet again.
