Hogwarts: I graduated before the system came

For example, Grindelwald, who was captured by you personally, I remember that his follower symbol is the symbol of the Deathly Hallows.

And the invisibility cloak in Harry's hand, if I'm not mistaken, it should be the invisibility cloak of Ignotus Peverell, the third of the three brothers.

The wand in your hand should be the Elder Wand of Antioch Peverell, the eldest.

Currently, only the Resurrection Stone of the second oldest, Cadmus Peverell, is missing...

Um, Professor, you forgot that I am a writer and I must have looked up all kinds of unofficial historical materials..."

After saying that, Douglas drew the symbol of the Deathly Hallows on the ground, which is also the symbol of Grindelwald's followers.

The logo looks like a triangular eye with a vertical line in the middle of the pupil. The vertical line represents the Elder Wand, the circle represents the Resurrection Stone, and the triangle represents the Invisibility Cloak.

Dumbledore stared at the sign for a long time, unable to come back to his senses, and wondered what he was thinking.

After a while, he looked at Douglas with a complicated expression and asked doubtfully:

"But no unofficial history says that I own the Elder Wand, do you..."

Douglas picked up a skewer of roasted snake meat and handed it over, then said with a smile:

"Since you have investigated me, you should have heard about my wand from Ollivander. It is also made of elderberry. I think I will not be mistaken."

Dumbledore paused after taking the snake meat, looking a little embarrassed.

PS:

The Tale of the Three Brothers

——From Chapter 5 of The Tales of Beedle the Bard

Once upon a time, three brothers were traveling along a secluded, narrow path. It was approaching dusk (or midnight). As they walked, they came to a river. The water was too deep to wade through, and too dangerous to swim across. However, the brothers were masters of magic. With a wave of their wands, a bridge appeared across the treacherous waters. As they reached the middle of the bridge, a hooded figure blocked their path.

Death spoke to them. He was angry because he had lost three new offerings—travelers usually drowned in the river. But Death was cunning. He pretended to congratulate the three brothers on their magic, saying that they had evaded Death through their cleverness and that each of them would receive a reward.

The eldest brother was a warlike man, and what he wanted was the most powerful wand in the world: a wand that would always help its owner win a duel, a wand worthy of a wizard who had conquered Death! Death walked to an elder tree on the shore, fashioned a wand from the overhanging branches, and gave it to the eldest brother.

The second son was an arrogant man who decided to continue humiliating the god of death and wanted the power to resurrect the dead. The god of death picked up a stone from the shore and gave it to the second son, telling him that the stone had the power to bring the dead back to life.

Then Death asked the youngest, the third, what he wanted. The third was the most humble and intelligent, and he didn't believe in Death. So he asked for something that would prevent Death from finding him wherever he went. Reluctantly, Death gave him his Invisibility Cloak.

Then Death stood aside and let the three brothers continue on their way. They talked about the wonderful experience they had just had, admired the gift of Death, and walked forward.

Later, the three brothers separated and headed towards their respective destinations.

The eldest traveled for over a week. He arrived at a remote mountain village and engaged in an argument with a wizard. Naturally, he used his Elder Wand, made of elderwood, as his weapon, which undoubtedly led to his victory. After his opponent fell dead, he continued on his way and entered a tavern, boasting loudly about his invincibility thanks to the powerful wand he had obtained from the hand of Death.

That same night, when the eldest was drunk, another wizard crept to his bed, stole his wand, and slit his throat.

And just like that, Death took the boss's life.

Meanwhile, the second brother returned to his solitary home, took out the stone that could bring the dead back to life, and turned it three times in his hand. To his surprise, the girl he wanted to marry but who had unfortunately died young appeared before him.

But she was sad and indifferent, as if a veil had separated them. Although she had returned to the human world, she didn't truly belong there, and she was in agony. Ultimately, driven mad by hopeless longing, the second brother committed suicide in a desperate attempt to truly be with her.

And just like that, the god of death took the second brother's life.

However, Death searched for the third son for many years but could not find him. The third son lived to be very old and finally took off the Invisibility Cloak and gave it to his son. Then he greeted Death like an old friend and happily left the world with him as an equal.

Chapter 170 Some People

Dumbledore quickly changed the subject and asked:

"Douglas, what do you think of the Deathly Hallows?"

He really wanted to know how this outstanding young man treated the Deathly Hallows. Rather than calling them the Deathly Hallows, it would be better to say death or a powerful force. To put it more clichédly, he would ask what his dreams were.

Transcending death, this is almost what many young and outstanding wizards think about. Some people just think about it, but some people take action.

Douglas picked up a piece of snake meat and put it in his mouth, enjoying the gift from nature.

He thought for a moment and asked:

"Professor, you possess the Elder Wand, and I heard from Harry that you once possessed the Invisibility Cloak for some years. Although you don't have the Resurrection Stone, do you think that gathering all these things can truly make you the master of death?"

Dumbledore looked lost in thought. He glanced at the stone box under Douglas's buttocks and said calmly:

"Legend has it that only those who have collected all the Deathly Hallows can become the Master of Death... Douglas, if one day you collected all the Deathly Hallows, what would you do?"

Dumbledore suddenly realized, I was asking you, why are you asking me again.

Douglas blinked and said with a smile:

"Elder Wand, I have a wand that is comparable to the Elder Wand and I don't have to worry about backlash; Invisibility Cloak, do you think I still need an Invisibility Cloak with my abilities?

As for the Resurrection Stone, the story clearly states that it is impossible to bring the deceased back to life. Returning to the human world without truly belonging to this world, I think the Resurrection Stone does not bring the dead back to this world, but rather leads the living to death...

Well, then again, if I collected all the Deathly Hallows, maybe it really wouldn't be of any use to me.

It seems that those who want to collect the Deathly Hallows never consider the true meaning of becoming the "master of death."

Dumbledore's expression brightened, not knowing whether it was because of the snake in his mouth or because of Douglas's words. He put down the skewer he had finished eating, took another skewer of snake meat from the grill, and said:

"Do you have a different understanding of this sentence? Tell me more... I have to say, your craftsmanship is really good..."

Douglas took out two bottles of magic iced cola from a box nearby, handed one to Dumbledore, took a sip himself and said,

Many people regard The Legend of the Three Brothers as either unofficial history or a fairy tale, but no one seems to have considered the possibility that it could be a fable centered around three brothers creating powerful yet dangerous magic items.

The focus of the story is at the end. The third brother, who had been hiding from the god of death, did not become immortal, nor did he rely on his own wisdom to defeat the god of death. Instead, he also died.

But the difference is that he took the initiative to greet the god of death as an equal, and then happily left the world with the god of death.

Personally, I think that "Master of Death" has never been about collecting three sets and then adding buffs to yourself. That is the idea of ​​a child, and it is also the idea of ​​those who desire immortality and pursue powerful strength.

My understanding of this sentence is to accept death. When life comes to an end, like Ignotus Peverell, we should face death calmly. When life transcends death, we are still alive even in death.

Douglas rubbed his nose subconsciously when he said this. He just said that life will come to an end, but with the system mall, when will his life come to an end? It's really distressing.

After hearing Douglas's words, Dumbledore looked at the flames on the grill and murmured:

"The last enemy to be destroyed is death..."

Douglas didn't hear clearly and asked in confusion, "What?"

Dumbledore shook his head and said happily:

"Douglas, you are truly amazing. No wonder you can write such wonderful works. When I was your age, I was the kind of person who pursued powerful strength as you said.

Although I also think that the Deathly Hallows are just powerful magical props created by the Peverell brothers and do not have the ability to grant immortality.

But when I was young, I also once fantasized that if I could collect all the Deathly Hallows, I would really be able to achieve immortality and realize my great ideals.

It wasn't until some things happened later and I got older that I reread this story and had the same feeling as you...

Here’s to you, wonderful young man.”

Dumbledore picked up the Coke, and Douglas smiled and clinked glasses with Dumbledore.

Then he looked into the distance and said with emotion:

“During my travels, I once heard a poem from the Eastern Muggle world, and I felt that some of the words in it would suit you very well.

Some people are alive, but they are already dead;

Some people are dead, but he is still alive.

Some people carve their names into stone, hoping to achieve "immortality";

Some people would rather be weeds and wait for the underground fire to burn them.

There are some people who cannot live if they live;

Some people live to make life better for the majority of people.

Those who carve their names into stone will have their names rot away before their bodies do.

Wherever the spring breeze blows, there are green weeds everywhere..."

After listening to this, Dumbledore carefully considered it and said:

“Haha, I don’t think this is talking about me. I’m not that great.

It is more like saying that those who sacrificed themselves to resist Tom's ambition, who were unknown and willing to be weeds, are great people;

At the same time, it also blames Tom and those who pursue immortality by any means necessary. No matter how advanced magic they use to achieve immortality, history has proven that they will eventually face death..."

Douglas also said with emotion:

"Yes, they never understand that death is not the loss of life, but the exit from time and space, and the arrival in another world..."

Dumbledore nodded and said solemnly:

"For a perfectly clear mind, death is just another great adventure."

Douglas turned his head and really wanted to tell the old gentleman that we were not talking about the same thing.

Until the two of them finished eating and packed up, no one mentioned what they had found.

Douglas naturally put the stone box into his pocket. Dumbledore watched Douglas's actions but did not dissuade him.

He is different from Douglas. He has people he cares about and misses. If he hadn't made an agreement with Douglas before, and if he hadn't been shocked by the power revealed by the forbidden magic stone after opening the box,

Maybe the moment he sees the pattern on the ring, he will choose to put the ring directly on his hand...

Yes, he had to admit that he couldn't resist the temptation to resurrect his relatives...

But Douglas was different. He knew exactly what he wanted and he fought for it on his own.

Even Dumbledore suspected that the other party knew more, such as Ariana's affairs, otherwise why did he so firmly persuade him not to touch that thing before going in.

Although he was within the range of the Forbidden Stone Box at that time, the impact on him was not particularly great. He could still feel the powerful curse attached to the ring. As long as he put on the ring, Dumbledore was not sure whether he could survive.

Chapter 171: Headmaster, I Want to Punch the Ministry of Magic Again

He stood aside and watched Douglas pack up his things and was about to say goodbye to him.

Douglas suddenly said:

"Professor, you said before that Voldemort's father was from this village, right?"

Dumbledore nodded and said:

“Yes, it’s that dilapidated house on the hillside next to us when we came here. I remember seeing it fifty years ago in old Ogden’s memory. It was once the most spacious and magnificent building within miles.

It had been in decline ever since Morfin Gaunt, the last male of the Gaunt family and Tom's uncle, murdered the family.

What's the matter, do you think Tom is hiding there?"

Douglas shook his head. Although he remembered that Voldemort really came here in the original book, it shouldn't be now.

"Professor, I remember there is an ancient regeneration potion that can help wizards who have lost their physical bodies to rebuild their bodies. One of the ingredients is my father's bones.

What I want to ask is, is his father also buried here?"

Douglas was not making this up. Although he did not remember what potion Voldemort used to be reborn in the original book, he did remember the main ingredients in the end: his father's bones, his servants' flesh, and his enemies' blood.

With these as key words, during the summer vacation, he used the system to buy a lot of magic books that were not accessible to people of his level.

After searching through a lot of ancient magic, I finally found this regeneration potion. It is a very simple body regeneration potion, and its final effect is only to restore the original body and strength.

In addition, he also saw several potions that can regenerate the body, and the effects were better than that one.

At first, he didn't understand why the other party would choose the lowest level of rebirth method since he had prepared the Horcrux. Finally, he thought of Peter Pettigrew's ability. That might be Voldemort's last helpless act.

Dumbledore said nothing. He looked Douglas up and down and asked curiously:

"Why would you research the rebirth potion for no reason? Honestly, I don't even know about such an unpopular potion..."

Douglas shrugged and gave a catch-all answer:

“Because I’m a writer…”

Dumbledore felt that he was asking unnecessary questions...

The two men walked slowly towards Riddle Mansion. When they walked out of the bushes, they noticed that many people in the village were standing on the roofs or at the entrance of the village, looking towards them. Perhaps they were attracted by the noise just now.

However, no one came to explore. Perhaps the former Gaunt family left behind some terrifying legend here.

As the two walked along the dirt road to Riddle House, Douglas was puzzled.

"Professor, why do I feel like there should still be someone in that house? It's obvious that someone has walked this road before."

Dumbledore shook his head and said calmly:
