The Mightiest Wizard of Hogwarts
262 Truth and Death
"When he attacked me before, he must have felt that the Horcruxes were destroyed, and he would definitely look for other Horcruxes that he had hidden before. After finding out that they were all destroyed, he would definitely make a backup for himself. However, Qi
The number is almost the limit, so it can only be one piece, and the snake following him is the most likely."
Neither Finny nor Dumbledore directly said that the Horcrux was Harry. One reason was that they both couldn't bear it. After all, Harry was also a living being, and they had always wanted to do it.
It is all about cultivating Harry's spirit of dedication and courage, and then making Harry willing to die.
Another reason is that Sirius, Harry's godfather, may not have that deep affection for Harry, but Harry is the child of his best friend James after all. Sometimes Sirius will even forget Harry in a trance.
Lily thought it was James. Maybe Sirius wouldn't care about his godson, but if it was James's child, he would definitely care about it, just like Snape would care about Lily's child. (So, in fact, the child
Are Sirius and James true love?)
Dumbledore also agreed with Finny's analysis of Horcruxes and said,
"Now it seems that it is indeed the same as what you said, but I am very curious about how he came back. You know, when I saw him during the Sorcerer's Stone this year, he was still a wandering ghost."
Feeney nodded,
"I'm also very curious about this. In addition to this, there is one more thing that I think maybe you need to know."
"you say,"
"Not long ago, during the attack in the alley, I saw one of the attackers escaping. I am very sure that what I saw was not an illusion,"
Feeney's tone was very solemn,
Dumbledore also became serious and asked,
"Who is it?"
"Peter Pettigrew!"
"This is impossible!"
Before Dumbledore could speak, Sirius spoke,
"Finney, you told me before that you had a Dementor's Kiss before handing it over to the Ministry of Magic. It's impossible for him to still attack you!"
Dumbledore sighed and said,
"Actually, after he was brought to the Ministry of Magic, he was sent behind the door of the Department of Mysteries, so, in theory, he is dead."
Feeney nodded,
"That's what I want to tell you. I'm pretty sure that person is Peter Pettigrew, and Lisa was injured because of him."
"Lisa? That female werewolf assistant of yours?"
Sirius asked doubtfully,
"Speaking of which, she is missing just like you."
Feeney nodded and explained,
"She was seriously injured before, so I hid with her. I watched Pettigrew attack her, and then turned into a mouse to avoid my attack."
Nico coughed twice and said,
"So, maybe the answer to both of your questions is one."
The three of them turned to look at Nico, waiting for him to continue.
"Albus said that the mysterious man was still in a wandering state and was injured, and Finny also confirmed that the Peter Pettigrew you are talking about had his soul sucked away and then sent behind the curtain leading to death.
, but now both of them are back and planning an attack on Feeney. This reminds me of a hypothesis I made a long time ago."
No one spoke, waiting for Nico to continue speaking. However, he stopped, looked at Dumbledore with a smile, blinked and asked,
"I said, Albus, should you let me, an old man who has lived for five hundred years, sit down, prepare some food for me, and let me talk slowly."
As soon as these words came out, the originally tense atmosphere in the office suddenly disappeared, and instead seemed a little funny.
Dumbledore waved helplessly, called the house elves at Hogwarts, brought some desserts and black tea, and then took Nico, Finny and Sirius to his lounge upstairs in the office.
sat down on a set of sofas.
After eating a few pieces of pastries and drinking two sips of black tea, Nico slowly revealed his guess.
"Finney may not know, but you know, Albus, that I also spent some time in the Department of Mysteries,"
Hearing this, Feeney asked in confusion,
"Senior Nico, aren't you French? How come you are working in the British Ministry of Magic?"
Nico smiled and said,
"Finney, you don't think there is only one Department of Mysteries in the entire magical world, and there is only one mysterious curtain leading to death, right?"
Feeney shook his head,
"Of course not. If that door is really so valuable, will the Presbyterian Council be handed over to the Ministry of Magic?"
Nico nodded and said,
"That's true. There are many such doors in the wizarding world. They are basically the locations where all the ministries of magic known today are established."
Only then did Feeney understand why there are only a few ministries of magic in England, France, and Germany in Europe. Even in the entire wizarding world, there are only three in Europe, one in America, three in Asia, and two in Africa.
It turns out that the establishment of the Ministry of Magic relied on that door.
Nico continued,
"Although I say that, I did work for the British Department of Mysteries. That was about a hundred years ago. At that time, the British Ministry of Magic once again decided to study the door, so it found me and hoped that I
You can get involved and provide some help, because I am also very interested in the door known as the link of death, so I went there,"
"After some research on our part, we finally got some results. However, due to some special considerations, we did not tell the Ministry of Magic about these findings, but decided to hide them. Speaking of which, the Department of Mysteries in that area is silent.
People are almost dead now, even if they have become legends, they are probably almost the same by today,"
"Okay, back to the topic, we discovered that that door does lead to death, or in other words, it is the only passage between the so-called underworld and the human world. The god of death passes through this door to travel to the human world and harvest souls."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present, including Dumbledore, looked shocked. Even though Dumbledore and Finney had actually made some guesses, they were still like this, because Nico said it very firmly, as if,
He once witnessed the appearance of the God of Death.
"Yes, that's right, we saw the Grim Reaper."
Immediately afterwards, Nico said these scary words,
"Before the Department of Mysteries, there was a very magical magic item. It was a single eye. The material was unknown. However, through that eye, you could see the souls who were dying. We were also because of these souls at that time.
We all gathered at that door and made corresponding assumptions, so we kept arranging people to wait there. Sure enough, on the day I was on duty, I saw Him walking out of that door and taking away the soul of a legendary wizard.
"
Dumbledore suddenly spoke at this moment and said,
"Sure enough, I was still wondering why in the thousands of years that the magical world has existed, no soul of a legendary wizard has survived. Originally, I thought that maybe all legendary wizards could be willing to die, but Tom's
Appearing made me realize that even legendary wizards are not willing to die easily,"
Nico nodded and said,
"Yes, after that, we saw the God of Death appear many times, each time taking away the soul of a legendary wizard. Later, we judged that if the souls below Chuangqi were willing to die, they would be slapped by that
The door attracts all independent beings to enter. After the legend, they have actually broken away from the category of human beings and are called demigods. Naturally, they will not be controlled by that door. This requires the death of the god to act in person. Therefore, all demigods die.
The remaining souls will be taken to the underworld."
Finny suddenly interjected,
"But, as far as I know, demigods are a realm above legend. In that realm, you need to become a god within a certain period of time, otherwise you will die. Death is inevitable,"
Nico smiled and shook his head and said,
"What you said is a common saying after all, but in fact, according to my research, being able to control a person's soul is actually out of the human level. Combined with the matter of the God of Death, Legend is also a demigod.
No problem. As for the realm you mentioned, it can actually be said to be a situation between legends and gods, and it also belongs to the realm of legends."
"What you call demigods are just legends igniting the divine fire. There are only two common ways, to establish a church, find believers, and let the beliefs of those believers become the fuel for their own divine fire. This is the path taken by the elders of the Presbyterian Church.
, the Presbyterian Church is actually their church, and all wizards are their believers. Another method that is difficult to see in today’s magic world is to trace the origin. According to legend, this is how the earliest god appeared,"
Feeney's heart skipped a beat. This was the path he was taking now, and it was also the path the three founders were taking.
Nico continued.
"As for the ending of death if you don't become a god, there is actually a reason. The divine fire that is ignited consumes the wizard's accumulation. When the accumulation is burned out, the magic power will be burned, followed by the spirit, and finally the soul. The divine fire
Once ignited, it cannot be extinguished, so the only outcome for not becoming a god is death. By the way, even a thousand years of accumulation can only burn for a hundred years under the burning of divine fire. Those old guys in the Presbyterian Church generally
They have lived for thousands of years, and their accumulation can support the burning of divine fire for thousands of years. This is also the reason why they cannot become gods without joining the Presbyterian Church, because they can ignite the divine fire at the end of the previous era and the arrival of a new era.
Just walk up the ladder to become a god. However, this is very risky, because no one can guarantee how many places there will be to become gods in the next era. This is just the trump card of the old guys in the Presbyterian Church."
"Hey, I digress again. The thing about that door is probably like this. In fact, it is not an important thing. The key point is the God of Death. I don't know what you think the God of Death looks like. However, the truth about the God of Death is quite surprising.
I was surprised for a long time."
"It can be said that the appearance of the God of Death is almost the same as that of the Dementor. The only difference is in some details. He is also wearing a cloak, which looks like it has been soaked in water. It has scabbed palms and the whole body is rotten.
It's the same, except that he has rotted more completely. There are almost no strands of flesh on his body, it is all bones. He is holding a huge sickle in his hand, with huge chains wrapped around it, which will not suck away the happiness of the people around him."
"This discovery has made us more interested in magical creatures that suddenly appear like dementors,"
"Suddenly?"
It was still Feeney who spoke. He suddenly discovered that even though he had read many secret books in the Presbyterian Council, there were still many secrets about the magic world that he didn't know.
This time it was Dumbledore who explained. Nico also took the opportunity to take a break and drank a few sips of black tea.
"Yes, dementors appeared suddenly. According to records, there were no such creatures in the world before that. Suddenly one day, they appeared in Azkaban, and they have been living there ever since.
Barely able to move around in the wizarding world,"
Nico nodded and added,
"Actually, there are still some gaps. After discovering that there might be some connection between Death and Dementors, we went to Azkaban. As a result, guess what we found in the lower reaches of Azkaban and under the sea.
?”
Hearing Nico's sudden naughtiness, the three of them all rolled their eyes and did not say anything. Nico didn't care and gave the answer directly,
"Another door of death, yes, you heard it right, there is another door of death leading to the underworld in Azkaban, but that door collapsed due to unknown reasons, so we speculate that,
The so-called dementors suddenly appeared because of him
They walked out of that door, and then the door collapsed and they couldn't go back. In fact, because of the appearance of the God of Death, we felt that the God of Death might have been a dementor before, or that the dementors were actually the God of Death.
Descendants, or the race of the God of Death.”
Sirius asked Nico's main purpose in telling these past events.
"Although these things are very shocking, does this have anything to do with the return of Peter and the mysterious man?"
Feeney said solemnly,
"If the speculations made by Senior Nico are true, then it will be relevant,"
He slowly expressed his thoughts,
"If Dementors and Death are the same race, then the soul may not be food for them, but a necessary instinct, just like work, and the Dementor's Kiss is everything except that door
Another way to take souls to the underworld."
Nico nodded approvingly,
"Finney's guess is what I'm going to say. It's very possible, because only in this way can we explain why the Peter you mentioned was able to regain his soul after being given the Dementor's Kiss,"
"So, his body should have been pushed through the door. However, what the Ministry of Magic and Feeney didn't expect is that his soul and body are in the same place. Plus, he is not dead, so,"
