They walked into the house, and Sirius quickened his pace, looking at Elwyn and Harry with concern.
"Thank God you two are still alive!" he said loudly, his expression agitated. "I've been blaming myself for not going with you. So many scary thoughts popped into my head. What happened after you were taken away?"
Sirius's arm was bleeding. It was a wound from his fight with Barty Crouch Jr.
But he did not care. He did not even bother to bandage it. He walked over to Elwyn and Harry, who were lying on the floor, and pulled them up.
"I'm fine, Sirius! But the Lord Voldemort is back, and he has regained his physical body! " Seeing Dumbledore and Sirius, Harry said hurriedly, "He brewed a potion, using his father's bones, the flesh of his servants, and my blood …"
Before Harry could finish, the tied up Barty Crouch Jr. suddenly laughed maniacally.
"The Dark Lord is back, and all of you are going to die. I succeeded, I brought Harry Potter to him, and I will receive more honor than any other Death Eater. I will become his most beloved aide, even closer than his own son …"
"Shut up!" Sirius roared, and punched Barty Crouch Jr.
He fell to the ground, blood flowing from his nose and mouth, but he was still laughing maniacally. This guy is crazy!
Snape looked at Barty Crouch Jr. in disgust, and waved his wand hard, silencing him.
"The door key brought me, Harry, and Cedric there. The Lord Voldemort used Harry's blood to revive him!" Elwyn said simply, staring into Dumbledore's eyes. "Then, he summoned the Death Eaters, and we fought."
"You had a fight?!" Snape said suspiciously. "With Blackdevil and his Death Eaters?"
"More accurately, Harry and Lord Voldemort are dueling, and I'm responsible for dealing with the rest of the Death Eaters and that snake called Nagini. But it's just a normal snake, not what I imagined," Elwyn said, knowing that Dumbledore could understand.
He had originally thought that Nagini would be a soul tool, but it was not. The Lord Voldemort had not made it into a soul tool.
This was not good news. It meant that the Lord Voldemort might have created a Soul Vessel that Elwyn did not know about.
After the vampires and the Evil Gods, there were new changes, and the difficulty of destroying the Lord Voldemort had increased.
"I had a duel with the Lord Voldemort, but I only used the Disarm Incantation!" Harry explained, noticing that everyone was looking at him in disbelief. "My wand connected with his, and there was a huge golden light … and …"
He told them the details of the duel, which even Elwyn did not know about.
When his wand collided with the Lord Voldemort's wand, in the golden light, the things that emerged from the Lord Voldemort's wand rushed into his mind like a tide. Harry could see Bertha Jorkins, the two wizards, his mother, and his father emerging from the wand.
When he finished, there was a moment of silence in the office.
After hearing about Lily's ghost, even Snape was a little distracted.
"Jaime and Lily, two wands connected?" Sirius said, looking at Dumbledore. "Why?"
"Flashback Incantation," Dumbledore murmured.
He pulled out his wand, and little Barty Crouch, who was struggling on the ground, suddenly quietened down, as if he had fallen asleep.
His body floated slowly, and landed steadily on an empty chair.
Dumbledore turned around, his eyes staring deeply into Harry's, and an unseen look of understanding flashed between the two.
Then, he looked at Elwyn, who was sitting beside him, and his expression was very gratified.
"Flashback Incantation?" Sirius asked quickly. "It has the same effect as the Replay Incantation?"
"Very much so!" Dumbledore said softly. "Harry's wand and Lord Voldemort's wand have the same core, and the feather in each was taken from the same phoenix. To be honest, it was my phoenix, Fawkes! "
"The feather in my wand was taken from Fawkes?" Harry asked in surprise.
"Yes." Dumbledore said, "Four years ago, when you had just left Mr. Ollivander's shop, he wrote to me to tell me that you had bought the second wand."
"So, what would happen if one wand met its brother?" Sirius asked.
"Obviously, they would not attack each other normally." Dumbledore explained patiently, "If the owner of the wand insisted on two wands fighting, a very rare phenomenon would occur. One wand would force the other wand to repeat the spell it had cast, in a flashback. First, the recent spells, then the old ones. The ones that Harry saw were all people that Lord Voldemort had killed. "
"My parents spoke to me at that time. Did they come back to life?" Harry asked hurriedly. "Like ghosts!"
"I don't think so. No magic can awaken the dead." Dumbledore said in a heavy tone, "There will only be a phenomenon similar to an echo playing back. I believe that what Harry saw was only a shadow of them when they were alive. They retained the appearance and personality of Jaime and Lily, and became the victims of Lord Voldemort's wand. "
There was another moment of silence. Sirius clenched his fists tightly, his body trembling slightly.
Snape's face was especially gloomy. He kept staring at the broken mirror on the wall, thinking about something.
Elwyn, on the other hand, was looking at Barty Crouch Jr., who was sitting opposite him, trying to guess what kind of magic Dumbledore had just used.
The guy obviously did not pass out, but he had no consciousness at all, sitting there in a daze.
"That wand had harmed the people recently." Dumbledore continued, "They appeared in reverse order. If Harry had kept the two wands connected, there would have been more illusions. These echoes, these illusions, what did they do? "
Harry described how the figures that emerged from the wand lingered at the edge of the golden net, how Lord Voldemort made them feel fear, how the shadows of his parents told him what to do, and how he and Elwyn used the door key to return to the Hogwarts.
When Harry finished, Dumbledore, Sirius, and Snape turned to look at Elwyn.
"I have nothing to say. While Harry was holding off Lord Voldemort, I used the magic I prepared in advance to save my life, and did not confront those Death Eaters head-on," Elwyn paused, then added, "And killed that giant snake on the way back!"
Dumbledore knew what was going on. There was no need for Elwyn to spread the fact that he used black magic everywhere.
Besides, this was not something to make a fuss about, it was just a surprise.
