Hogwarts: What are the four great masters doing?

Ryan said curiously.

"Oh, just chatting."

Dumbledore said gently, "Within the Sorting Hat lies the wisdom of the great Four, so I would like to ask it how it can calm Minerva's wrath... but it is clear that even the greatest wisdom cannot solve all problems."

He sighed. "Minerva must have sent you a message, but I hope you won't tell it. It would scare a centenarian."

So you knew Professor McGonagall would be angry about this.

Ryan complained in his heart, but he also secretly agreed with what Dumbledore said - Professor McGonagall was indeed scary sometimes.

So Ryan then tactfully changed the subject.

"Did you change your office password?"

"Oh, that's right."

Dumbledore smiled and nodded. "I recently discovered a new kind of candy in the Muggle world - Rowntree's Jelly Babies. They taste amazing, and I think they're worthy of being my new password... Would you like a piece?"

Ryan's answer speaks for itself.

So not long after.

Ryan and Dumbledore ate jelly-like candies and started chatting.

Of course, the first thing Ryan mentioned was the Philosopher's Stone.

He briefly described the whereabouts of the Philosopher's Stone.

"It was destroyed, but not by Nicolas Flamel..."

Dumbledore listened quietly, occasionally asking for details.

He was obviously also surprised that the Philosopher's Stone ended up in Ryan's hands.

However, after Ryan briefly mentioned that the Philosopher's Stone might have been taken by Friday, Dumbledore's attention turned to the white cat.

Especially after Friday released some of his magic with a little caution, Ryan saw surprise in Dumbledore's blue eyes behind his glasses.

"Powerful magic, perfect concealment...Morkin? Or a shapeshifter?"

He made the same judgment as Ryan almost instantly.

"Almost... It and the basilisk are..."

Ryan had no intention of hiding anything and planned to tell Dumbledore everything about the basilisk - after what happened in the first year of school, he had enough trust in Dumbledore.

Apart from the fact that 'Friday is the real key to the Chamber of Secrets', which he didn't intend to tell anyone, he felt that he could share everything else with Dumbledore and listen to his opinion.

But to his surprise, Dumbledore didn't seem to be listening.

"Oh, keep it a little mysterious, Ryan—I don't want to go to sleep with doubts tonight, it will make my sleep quality poor."

He said so.

He then commented on the matter of the Philosopher's Stone: "As for the Philosopher's Stone... I don't think Nico would blame you."

After hearing this, Ryan also frowned.

"But the Philosopher's Stone concerns his life..."

"Oh, Ryan—Nico has long been aware of this."

Dumbledore said softly, "I'm not in a position to reveal his thoughts, so I think...it would be better if he tells you in person after we meet."

"Meet?"

Hearing this, Ryan raised his frown slightly.

"Nicolas Flamel and me?"

"That's right—Nico is very curious about you. He really wants to meet you. I'm sure you'd like to meet him too?"

Dumbledore spoke gently.

"of course."

Ryan naturally would not hesitate - even the Big Four would not refuse to meet with an ancient legendary alchemist.

Not to mention that Ryan needed Nicolas Flamel's help with something - he'd been wearing the Diadem of Ravenclaw for quite some time!

"What about the time? When will we meet?"

Then Ryan asked even more curiously.

Dumbledore's answer was beyond his expectations.

"how are you today?"

"today!?"

Ryan's voice was filled with surprise.

"That's right..."

Dumbledore put a candy into his mouth: "Nicol hopes to meet as early as possible. Time is very precious to him now..."

"And today I was planning to invite you to go to Azkaban together - the Easter holiday is coming, and a pleasant trip and meeting with old friends is an excellent way to spend the holiday."

When he said this, he also blinked.

"The only problem is, you might miss out on Easter dinner this year."

But at this moment, Ryan had obviously reacted.

"Has the Ministry of Magic granted your request to see Sirius Black?"

he blurted out.

So, he then saw Dumbledore's strange expression.

"I don't remember ever telling you about Sirius?"

Dumbledore looked surprised.

He realized that Ryan seemed to have found out a lot of things.

"Oh, Professor Snape told me—you know, he and Sirius Black always had a close relationship."

Ryan said with a smile.

"Severus, he and Sirius..."

Dumbledore's expression became more subtle - he realized that Ryan even seemed to know about Snape's past.

"Did he tell you himself?"

Then the old wizard began to become genuinely curious.

"Oh, Mr. Principal...that's a long story."

Ryan said with a smile at this moment.

He was beginning to understand the Riddler's amusement.

"Let's talk as we walk."

"Ok."

Then Dumbledore stood up and said, "Fawkes isn't here, so we might have to use Floo powder..."

he said softly.

But Ryan just waved his hand gently: "No need for Floo powder."

"Just tell me the location..."

While talking.

The white cat on Ryan's shoulder jumped down.

Its body in the air transformed into a mighty giant beast, under the gaze of Dumbledore who could not help but be surprised.

The colorful glow is shining.

Dumbledore and Ryan disappeared in the headmaster's office the next moment.

In the office, only the Sorting Hat remained on the shelf.

An old hat, as clean as a new one, stood on the shelf, looking at the office chair in the room.

"The great Gryffindor was right...blessings and disasters always come together."

"And...oh, damn—this cleaner smells so pungent."

He sighed deeply and stopped moving.

Chapter 121: Triple Ritual! The most perfect way to resurrect! (4K words)

The country roads were muddy and wet, and dog roses grew on the surrounding hillsides.

The young wizard and the old wizard were walking on the road.

Friday the White Cat was running around in excitement about being outside of Hogwarts Castle for the first time.

"That's some of the best news I've heard in years, Ryan."

Dumbledore wiped his eyes.

He had just learned about the Longbottoms' situation from Ryan.

Of course, I also learned about Ryan and Snape's cooperation.

"Severus...he showed me the diary. He said he wanted to complete the potion that Lily left behind. That would be her mark on the world."

He sighed, "But I didn't expect... Lily - even after all this time, she is still helping those who deserve help, including herself."

He became more and more excited as he spoke: "This is the power of love, Ryan."

“Torture, despair, pain, violence…dark things may break the soul, but love allows the brave to rise from the ashes like a phoenix.”

"You, and Severus—you're doing great things!"

He asserted.

"Oh, that's not what I wanted to hear, Mr. Principal."
