It was already the end of the semester, and the Junior Wizards had just finished their exams. After the results were out, the Hogwarts would welcome a long summer break.
.
Listening to Dumbledore's words, he hoped that Elwyn would follow him to pursue these two clues.
They would be away for a long time, which meant that they would have new and wonderful adventures during the holidays.
The Wizard Prison, Azkaban, the unknown hiding place of the Fallen Centaur, and the terrifying Evil God from the Void. Elwyn felt excited just thinking about it.
This time, with Dumbledore by his side, there should be no more accidents.
"I'm going too. This is my responsibility." Sirius stood up and said excitedly, "I must help Elwyn break this curse."
"I can promise you, but you must promise to obey my orders completely when there's danger. Can you do that?" Dumbledore scrutinized Sirius.
"Of course!" Sirius nodded hurriedly without any hesitation.
"Very well. We'll leave tomorrow morning and go to the Ministry of Magic to see Foggy first." Dumbledore turned to look at Professor Meg and Snape. "Mileva, Severus, while I'm away, you two will take care of everything at the Hogwarts. If there's anything you can't solve, you know how to contact me. "
"Don't worry, Albus." Professor Meg said with pursed lips. She went forward and hugged Elwyn tightly, gave him her blessings, and ruffled his hair.
"I don't have any objections." Snape said, looking at Sirius viciously. "But the thing I just said, about the responsibility of the whole thing, I hope …"
"Don't worry about it. I'll apply for my resignation." Sirius glared back at Snape. "If it makes you feel any better, snotty spirit."
Snape's gloomy face flushed red. He placed his right hand on his wand, hesitating whether to pull it out or not. Then, he snorted heavily.
"This is exactly what I've been dreaming of. Since you've decided, I don't have the time or the need to continue arguing with a reckless fool. It's already past midnight. If there's nothing else, I hope to go back to sleep. "
Snape nodded at Dumbledore and left the ward.
"Professor, you won't really let Sirius leave, will you?" When Snape's figure disappeared, Harry asked hurriedly. "He's our best Defense Against Dark Magic professor."
"Don't worry about me, Harry." Before Dumbledore could speak, Sirius answered for him. "Snape is right. I have to take responsibility and pay for my mistakes. I hope you can understand this."
Harry nodded as if he understood. He seemed to want to say something, but his face was full of worry.
"Sirius, since you've made your decision, then I'll accept your application. The position of Defense Against Dark Magic professor is always vacant. It seems that we'll have to worry about a new candidate. "Dumbledore said calmly. He turned to look at Elwyn." You have to carry this Sorcerer's Stone with you at all times so that you can absorb the magic in it at any time. I noticed that you're carrying Slytherin's locket. Maybe you can put it in there. "
Elwyn nodded and removed the locket from his neck.
He gently opened the box inlaid with the Slytherin family's emblem. It had a large'S 'on it and put the Sorcerer's Stone inside. He didn't know if it was a coincidence, but this irregularly-shaped Sorcerer's Stone could fit inside and occupied half of the space.
Judging from its size, it seemed that this locket was originally used to store the Sorcerer's Stone.
"Very good, very good." Dumbledore exclaimed. It seemed that he already knew this. He turned his gaze to Harry, Ron, and Hermione. "Children, if there's nothing else, I hope you can go back to bed and sleep."
"Professor, can we go with you to pursue those two clues?" Hermione mustered up her courage and asked. She looked at Elwyn worriedly.
"Yes, I want to go too," Harry said. "We all want to do something for Elwyn and help him break the curse left by the Lord Voldemort."
"I'm sorry, but I don't think the three of you can participate in this." Dumbledore shook his head and said, "I don't have the right to take you away for the whole summer to face some dangers that are far beyond your ability. You should go home, or your parents and family will be worried. "
"But Sirius is my godfather. He's my guardian," Harry said. "He's my only family. Wherever he is, I'll follow him."
"Harry, I'm glad you said that," Sirius said with relief. "But I think Dumbledore is right. You can't follow us and take risks."
"But …"
"Harry, you must return to your aunt and uncle's house during the summer. From a bloodline point of view, they are your only family. " Dumbledore said with an unquestionable tone, as though he did not want to discuss this matter anymore. "Alright, the three of you should return to your sickbed. I wish to have a chat with our centaur friends and write a letter to Elwyn's parents. I'll use a way that the Muggle can understand to explain the sequence of events."
Dumbledore walked towards Firenze who was waiting at the door. He seemed to want to return to the centaur tribe with him and carefully understand the entire situation.
Very quickly, only Elwyn, Harry, Ron and Hermione were left in the sickroom.
Madam Pomfrey blew out the candles, and darkness shrouded her eyes.
Elwyn laid on the bed unable to fall asleep. He stared blankly at the snake mark on his wrist.
Beside him, Harry, Ron and Hermione were also facing their own chaotic thoughts.
They chatted for a long time, starting from tonight's adventure with the centaur tribe, and talked a lot.
Finally, Elwyn comforted Hermione for a long time before she could calm down.
Unknowingly, the four of them entered dreamland.
The dark clouds in the sky gradually dissipated. The cold moonlight shone into the sickroom through the window and onto the sickbed by the window. If someone came over now, they would definitely be able to clearly see the incomparably clear Dark Demon mark on the back of the child's neck.
The python that crawled out from the skull's mouth seemed to have a life of its own. Its eyes flashed with a malicious light, and then disappeared in the blink of an eye.
It was as though the mark never existed, slowly disappearing into the skin.
Professor Trelawney's prophecy had come true. The Lord Voldemort had used his magic to mark the chosen one. From now on, he would obtain unimaginable power.
