The dense branches of the ancient trees cast a cold, dark, and dense shadow. Allen walked out of the shadow and went straight from the Granger's house to Gunter's old house in Big Hangerton. Then, he picked up a small stone from the ground.
At the place where he found the Resurrection Stone, Allen took out the Gunter ring that had been pried off the Resurrection Stone. Although the Lifestone was already in Luna's hands, the Lord Voldemort's soul was still protecting the broken soul of the Lord Voldemort and had not been destroyed.
A dark, flashing blue magic power was emitted from Allen's hand. It slowly brushed past the ring and the small stone that he had picked up earlier. Layers and layers of magic power wrapped around the original position of the Gunter's Ring. Finally, it turned into a diamond-shaped black stone.
This stone looked exactly the same as the Lifestone, but it was also different. The curse of the Lord Voldemort on the Gunter's Ring could be easily removed by Allen, who had mastered the power of death. However, Allen did not do so.
Alan had only absorbed a small part of the curse energy from the ring to slow down the rate of erosion. However, he immediately added a trap that could tempt people to see the ring and evoke their most secret thoughts. Alan knew that Dumbledore longed for his lost family members. Moreover, Alan was quite familiar with the demon's bewitching ways and had personally come in contact with the Lifestone. Therefore, Alan purposely added this trap to Dumbledore's personal situation as if it was tailor-made and added to the Gunter's Ring.
Of course, since Allen dared to challenge the Lord Voldemort to a duel, he obviously did not fear a duel with Dumbledore. However, the reason why Allen set up this trap to target Dumbledore was because he did not want to have a duel with Dumbledore. If the situation escalated to a duel, even if he defeated Dumbledore, it might not be a good thing. The world's greatest light wizard had been famous for a long time. Moreover, he had recently proven that he was correct regarding the return of the Lord Voldemort. As the new savior of the world, Allen still needed time to solidify his reputation and prove that he was stronger than Dumbledore and that his decisions were more correct than Dumbledore.
Therefore, Allen wanted to use this method to make Dumbledore realize that he was no match for him in his current state. He wanted to prevent Dumbledore and his subordinates, the Order of the Phoenix, from taking more drastic actions and causing unnecessary losses. If that happened, both sides would have no choice but to become mortal enemies.
After all, Alan felt that Dumbledore and himself only had ideological and political differences. If possible, he still wanted to try his best not to harm Dumbledore's life, let alone the innocent members of the Phoenix Society. As long as he could control and slow down the erosion of Dumbledore's curse, and if everything went well, when they could no longer stop the reform, Dumbledore would lose his usefulness. After that, he could help Dumbledore remove the curse so that he could enjoy his old age in peace. Of course, if Dumbledore insisted on going against him, it would be faster to deal with him this way, and it would allow both sides to avoid unnecessary losses.
Glancing at the ring that was put back in its original position, Allen turned around and teleported back to his house in the southern part of Dorset.
When Allen's figure appeared, he found that his house was even livelier. Xenophilius? Mr. Lovgood was wearing a bright yellow wizard robe that was covered with silver patterns of stars and moons. He sat on the spacious sofa and leaned forward, facing his father, Owen Harris. Harris gestured while Luna sat beside him, twirling her finger around a carnation and sighing from time to time.
"Minister Harris, I think Helena should go back with me. She has had dinner at your place and reunited with all of you. Why don't you let her stay at her grandfather's house for a while? I also want to bring my granddaughter back to reunite with Luna. After all, she was raised by my daughter alone in the past. I think she would be more willing to live with Luna, which may make her feel more at ease. " At this time, Xenophilius's talent as a media person was fully displayed. He wanted to bring his granddaughter back with reason and evidence. It seemed that he was not influenced by Owen at all. The influence of Harris' identity as a minister.
For this father who loved his daughter dearly, not only did he want to be with Helena, he also felt that his daughter might want to live with Helena more.
For a moment, Owen Harris felt that Xenophilius was right. Harris actually felt that what he said made sense. However, no matter what the reason was, he really couldn't bring himself to let Helena and the other party leave. After all, his family really liked Helena. She was the first grandchild of the Harris family. His son had indeed not done his duty, but wasn't this making up for it …
Owen? Harris shifted his sitting position uncomfortably. He noticed Allen standing in the corner of the room and secretly looking over. His eyes lit up. Now that his son was back, he could be free. This Xenophilius was really difficult to deal with.
"Eh?" Owen? Harris watched as Allan stepped into the shadows after noticing his line of sight. His figure immediately disappeared. Only then did he realize that this grandson had run away …
Albert and Daisy also saw Allen. When they saw their father's reaction, the siblings smiled at each other and hid beside the wine cabinet in the corner. Albert poured a glass of red wine for himself and Daisy. He tasted the wine while smiling at his father being pestered by Xenophilius.
Luna suddenly said, "Dad, Helena has a room here."
Although she did not say much, Xenophilius clearly understood what his daughter meant. They did not prepare a room for Helena. "So what? I can give my room to Helena." Xenophilius did not think much of it. He insisted on taking Helena away.
"Xenophilius, I understand your feelings of wanting to take Helena back. Just like how I want Helena to stay here and be closer to us. After all, we are all her family. We all love her. But it's already very late. With Helena's special constitution, she can't use Phantom Transfiguration. How are you going to take her back to such a faraway place? "Owen asked. Harris was an experienced politician after all. His persuasion really stopped Xenophilius. Mr. Lovgood stopped her. Although he wanted to take his granddaughter home, there was no easy way to do so.
Seeing Xenophilius's defeated expression, Owen stood up. "Xenophilius, Helena is now in her room upstairs. Why don't I take you to see her?"
Xenophilius was straightforward this time and stood up immediately.
As their figures disappeared from the corner of the stairs, the tense atmosphere in the living room eased. Daisy swirled a glass of red wine and sat opposite him. She gently tucked her messy hair behind her ear. "Albert, the Tonks asked me to ask for leave."
"What's wrong with her?" Albert put down the red wine in his hand and looked at Daisy. "Recently, Aura is in need of manpower. We have already thwarted a few Death Eaters' attempts to kidnap normal wizards in Diagon Alley."
"She fell in love with Remus? Lupin. "Daisy sighed. She leaned one arm on the wine cabinet and supported her head with her hand.
"Lupin is a werewolf." Albert frowned. There were so many young and handsome Aura in the Division. Why did the Tonks choose a werewolf?
Daisy was keenly aware of the meaning behind Albert's words. She swirled the wine glass in front of her and sighed. "You see, even you are surprised by such feelings. The Tonks told me that she confessed to Lupin, but Lupin did not reciprocate her feelings. On the contrary, he closed his heart and avoided contact with the Tonks. He did not even talk to her, and the Tonks could not find him. "
"The Tonks are a beautiful girl, and her humor attracted many Aura. She has many suitors." Albert found it hard to understand. "Remus, who is so much older than her? Lupin actually turned around and rejected her? If I were Lou … "
Daisy rolled her eyes at her brother and reminded him softly, "Although I know you don't mean that, I suggest you watch your mouth in front of Hibiscus Chinensis … The Tonks think that he refused to admit his feelings for her for some noble reasons. I think as a werewolf, Lupin thought that he did not deserve love after years of prejudice and humiliation. He also thought that some of his flaws would make the Tonks refuse to reciprocate his feelings. The Tonks understood that Lupin would never be with her again, so she became depressed. " Daisy's slender fingers tapped on the table. "She works very hard when she is on a mission, as if she wants to numb herself with work. But when she is not working, she is in a very bad state. She has been in a very bad state recently. She no longer shows off her ability to disguise herself as Magus in front of Aura. Her pink hair that she usually likes to keep is starting to turn grayish brown. In fact, she often stares blankly at the air in the office. Therefore, I suggested that she take a break for a while, take a vacation, and change her mood. Fortunately, she listened to my advice. "
"Well, it is not easy for them to be together. They have to overcome a lot of difficulties, anxiety and fear, and the contempt and prejudice of others may accompany them for life. Let the Tonks relax. You should take care of her. After all, she is your guard. "Albert pretended to be calm and did not hear Daisy's warning about his slip of the tongue. He agreed to the other party's request.
