"Albus, since the Mark of the Dark Demon has appeared here, will that person …" Professor Meg said worriedly, his lips pressed together tightly, his expression extremely serious.
"I don't think so, Mileva," Dumbledore said calmly. "My sources say that he is still in the Albanian forest. It has been very lively around there recently, and so many things have happened. I don't think he has the energy to care about the situation in the Hogwarts for the time being, nor will he hide behind the scenes to plot something. "
Hearing Dumbledore's words, Snape's eyebrows raised unnaturally.
No one but him knew what Dumbledore was referring to about the excitement in the Albanian forest.
Sirius hesitated for a moment as if he wanted to ask, but in the end, he did not say anything. He lowered his head again and looked at Elwyn in the hospital bed with a melancholy face.
Lord Voldemort did not return to the Hogwarts. He had not regained his strength, and the Mark of the Dark Demon was just something he had left here.
However, this did not make the people in the ward much happier. There was a moment of silence as everyone looked at the unconscious Elwyn.
Harry thought of Lord Voldemort in the Albanian forest, and what Sirius had said about the Mark of the Dark Demon on the way back.
Thirteen years ago, the most terrifying era in the world of magic.
Every time Lord Voldemort and his followers killed someone, the Mark of the Dark Demon would appear in the air.
In a sense, this mark represented Lord Voldemort himself, and it meant death.
Now, the Mark of the Dark Demon had reappeared in the Hogwarts, and Elwyn had been hit by the black magic left by Lord Voldemort. What would happen to him?
Death, this word repeatedly appeared in Harry's mind.
He had a bad feeling, and hurriedly shook the thought away.
"What happened to Elwyn?" Hermione asked chokingly, wiping away her tears.
"He's not dead yet," Snape said maliciously. "He's lucky. The Sorcerer's Stone in his hand contains magic that alleviates the power of the curse."
"Then what about the little black snake around his wrist?" Harry asked.
"I don't think that your empty head will be able to understand my detailed explanation of this curse." Snape sneered, "All you need to know is that as long as Mason carries this sorcerer's stone with him, he can prevent the power of the curse from spreading in his body. He won't lose his life."
Hearing this, everyone's nervous expressions eased a little.
As long as Elwyn kept the Sorcerer's Stone with him, he would be fine.
"When will he wake up?" Hermione asked hurriedly.
Snape snorted coldly, as if it was beneath him to answer such a stupid question.
He re-examined the little black snake on Elwyn's wrist, and his eyes fell on the snake's head.
There was an awkward silence in the ward. Hermione wasn't sure if she should continue to ask, but she was afraid to disturb Snape who was observing Elwyn's condition.
"At any time," Dumbledore raised his head and said gently, "Miss Granger, Mr. Mason may wake up at any time. The restless magic has calmed down."
His calm light blue eyes slowly swept across everyone's faces, giving them great confidence. Finally, his eyes fell on the Red Sorcerer's Stone in Elwyn's right hand.
Dumbledore seemed to be suddenly interested. He pulled out his wand and knocked on it.
"Very wonderful, very wonderful."
He couldn't help but exclaim, his light blue eyes sparkling, "I have to say, from the perspective of alchemy, this Sorcerer's Stone …"
"I'm sorry, Principal …" Snape suddenly interrupted him, a cold smile appearing on his face again.
He looked at Sirius maliciously, and said in a drawn-out voice, "I don't think it's the time to praise a stone. The Mark of Dark Magic appeared in the school, and a student was cursed. Someone must be responsible for this."
"Severus …" Dumbledore furrowed his brows.
"I think someone is no longer suitable to stay in the school as a professor," Snape stared at Sirius, and said provocatively, "Without permission, he sneaked into the Forbidden Forest with a group of fearless idiots. He can't even tell if it's a cursed Black Magic item. I can't think of any reason to let him continue to stay here."
"Shut up," Sirius clenched his fist, and immediately released it. "This started because of me. As long as Elwyn can wake up, I'm willing to accept any punishment."
"How noble, but I don't think you …" Snape suddenly stopped.
On the bed beside him, Elwyn's head moved slightly, and he was waking up.
A few seconds later, Elwyn opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was Dumbledore's calm light blue eyes.
His tense nerves finally relaxed completely. Behind Dumbledore, Sirius, Professor Meg, Harry, Ron, and Hermione all looked concerned.
Hermione's face was full of joy, but her nose and eyes were red. While he was unconscious, this silly girl must have cried a lot.
Elwyn raised his head, and he saw a gloomy Snape trying his best to hide in the shadows in the corner, as if hoping to not be noticed.
Outside the door of the ward, Madam Pomfrey and the centaur Firenze were standing there.
"Professor, the Sorcerer's Stone that Gryffindor left behind has a curse on it," Elwyn said, "It was left behind by the Lord Voldemort, I …"
"We already know, Mr. Mason," Dumbledore said calmly, and he briefly explained Elwyn's current physical condition.
"As long as I keep this Sorcerer's Stone with me, I'll be fine."
Elwyn looked at the red stone in his hand, and he could feel a powerful magic surging out from it.
Immediately, his gaze fell on the slender little snake on his wrist.
"I don't feel anything strange, but this curse …" He asked uncertainly, and thought of Professor Trelawney's prophecy.
This was a mark left behind by the Lord Voldemort, perhaps he was the chosen one.
"The Sorcerer's Stone, the curse, and the power of your body have reached a delicate balance." Dumbledore said softly, "Mr. Mason, before we find a way to break the curse, I hope that you will not consume too much of your magic like before. Breaking this balance is a very dangerous thing to do. "
"Then what should Elwyn do?" Sirius said loudly, "He can't live with the curse of the Lord Voldemort forever, and use magic carefully."
"Whose responsibility do you think this is?" Snape's voice was like a poisonous snake, and continued to stab Sirius. "Think about it, how are we going to explain to Mr. Mason's Muggle's parents? They believed in the Hogwarts, and sent their child here, to a school that they did not understand at all. But what has happened now? Because of your foolishness and recklessness, we have destroyed a promising young wizard. "
