Chapter 1270: Ways to Defeat Voldemort (2)
"Once upon a time, there were three brothers who were on their way on a secluded path. It was almost dusk. They walked and came to a river. However, the river was too deep to wade through, and it was also dangerous to swim across it. However, the three brothers were proficient in Magic, with a wave of the magic wand, a bridge appeared on the dangerous and unpredictable river..."
Hermione flipped through her notebook and began to tell Harry and Ron about the version of the story of the three brothers that she had translated from "The Tales of Beedle the Bard" given by Dumbledore.
Harry grew up in the Muggle world and didn't know much about wizards' fairy tales, but he had recently heard several versions of the three brothers' stories, and the contents of the stories were actually similar.
However, Harry and Ron still listened patiently to Hermione's story. The three of them always believed that this story contained some important information that Dumbledore left for them.
"...The third child lived until he was very old, and then finally took off his invisibility cloak and gave it to his son. Then he greeted Death like an old friend and happily left the world with him as an equal. .”
"Thanks."
Hermione took the butterbeer from Harry, drank some to moisten her throat and said, "The content of this version of the story is actually similar."
As she spoke, she reached for the quill next to her and began to extract the key points from the story of the three brothers:
Three brothers, the bridge, the Grim Reaper...
"Why are the Bridge and Death the focus? Shouldn't the most important thing in this story be the three items of Death?" Ron looked at what Hermione had written and said confusedly: "The most powerful wand in the world can make people The stone that raises the dead and Death’s cloak of invisibility.”
"Of course they are the key point, but what you see is just the surface. There are other more important things." Hermione felt that Ron had not found the key point.
"I remember Albert once said that this story is true." Ron became more and more excited as he spoke, and he stood up from the armchair. "If Harry can get the invincible wand, he will definitely be able to Easily defeat the mysterious man.”
"Yes, that must be the case. Otherwise, even if we destroy all the Horcruxes, it will still be difficult to defeat the mysterious man. But as long as Harry can obtain the Elder Wand, everything will not be a problem." Ron felt that he had seen through it all. Dumbledore's real intention behind leaving the book to Hermione was to guide Harry to find the Elder Wand.
Harry and Hermione looked at each other. Although they also felt that Ron's words made sense, where should they find the Elder Wand?
“I think you’d better calm down.”
Harry looked at the emotional Ron and cast a begging look at Hermione.
Hermione understood immediately and took out a wooden box from her handbag. After opening it, she prepared to let Ron drink some sedatives to calm down first.
“Wait a minute, you are...”
Ron saw Hermione take out the bottle containing the sedative, and after forcibly immobilizing him, he poured a small glass of sedative directly into his mouth.
“Do you want more?” Hermione asked as she lifted the spell.
“I’ve calmed down,” Ron said angrily.
“That’s good, let’s have some more.” Harry said with a smile.
"no thanks."
“This is a brain enhancer.”
After Harry took the cup handed by Hermione, he poured the potion directly into his mouth. The taste was very ordinary, but there was nothing he could do about it. The candy given by Albert had already been eaten, so they could only use the potion brewed by Hermione. .
After all three of them drank intelligence enhancers, they went straight to the topic after their thoughts became clear.
"Even if the legend of the Elder Wand in the story of the three brothers is true, we don't know where to find the Elder Wand." Harry picked up the "The Tales of Beedle the Bard" and continued Ron's previous topic. , "Also, don't forget, our information comes from Albert. He must also know about the existence of such a wand. Do you think that guy might not be interested in such a wand? Maybe he is actually I have been secretly searching for the whereabouts of the Elder Wand."
"With Anderson's ability, he might have found the Elder Wand." Ron muttered quietly, "I suspect that the wand he used is the legendary Elder Wand."
"If Albert hears this, he will send you to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Maladies."
Hermione felt that Ron's words were excessive and almost directly denied all of Albert's efforts and achievements.
“Albert is a special case?”
“Yes, his magical power is incredibly strong, which is really abnormal, so many wizards in the magic world suspect that this guy is actually a descendant of a certain pure blood.”
“No.” Harry shook his head.
“What’s not?”
Hermione and Ron both looked at Harry.
"His wand is not the Elder Wand." Harry explained, "Mr. Ollivander checked the wand for us during the Goblet of Fire. Albert's wand is Mr. Ollivander." Made of redwood, it is said to bring good luck to the user."
"Look, I also think Albert doesn't need that thing." Hermione agreed with Harry, "He is a smart man and is so powerful, does he really want a wand that is destined to cause trouble? I definitely don’t want it anyway.”
"Don't be stupid Hermione, who doesn't want a wand that can never lose? As long as Harry has it, he will definitely be able to defeat the mysterious man." Ron looked at Hermione as if he were a fool and said, "As long as you Keep quiet and don't show off loudly like the boss in the story, and you won't get into trouble."
"I know how."
"What?"
“Over the past few hundred years, there have been many stories about the Elder Wand in the magical world.”
"Have it?"
“Professor Binns mentioned it in class, if you were paying attention in history class.”
Hermione flipped through her notes again and showed the two of them the information she had collected in advance, "The Death Stick and the Destiny Stick, they appear under different names and are usually owned by some dark wizards. I used to think that they were all fallacies. But if there was such a magic wand, some things would make sense."
"Although it makes sense to force it, do I still think it's a bit ridiculous?" Harry reminded: "I think the more powerful the wizard is, the more powerful his wand will be thought to be."
“What do you mean?” Ron asked puzzledly.
"If Albert shows off to others that he owns the Elder Wand, do you think others will believe it? And Dumbledore, what if he says that he owns the Elder Wand?" Harry asked, "Others will definitely believe it, right? Like Ron suspecting Albert of having the Elder Wand.”
"Professor Binns did mention that he believed that some wizards just like to show off that their wands are better than others." Hermione agreed with Harry's words.
"Oh, okay, but..." Ron was speechless, "We'd better find it and defeat the mysterious man with the help of the most powerful wand."
An invincible wand that can never lose.
Harry fell into silence for a brief moment. If Albert really took the Elder Wand, would he lend it to him to defeat Voldemort?
Or, Albert is going to use it to defeat Voldemort.
Although this is not bad, but...
“Harry, Harry…”
Hermione's voice brought Harry back from his thoughts.
“Sometimes I really feel like a fool.” Harry sighed and asked, “Do you think Albert will come to Bill’s wedding?”
"Yes, Fred said he will come back." Ron comforted, "You can take the time to talk to him then."
"you're right."
Harry took out his notebook and wrote down what he had just thought about. He became more and more eager to ask Albert.
Unfortunately, the guy basically said nothing.
This is really irritating.
