It was over, and Felix breathed a sigh of relief.
He bent down and crushed the wand fragments on the ground into powder, still thinking about the battle. In general, he performed well enough, almost on par with Voldemort. At most, he looked a little embarrassed in the end because he avoided the exaggerated killing curse, but the biggest purpose of his trip was achieved. Felix circled the approximate range of Voldemort's strength, providing a basis for the next battle.
Felix grinned, and he suddenly realized that the situation seemed to be the opposite of more than ten years ago.
Voldemort had challenged Dumbledore repeatedly because he thought he was in a period of rising strength, so he did such seemingly self-inflicted things. But now, the situation is reversed, Felix is the one who is constantly improving, and he doesn't mind fighting Voldemort more.
But Voldemort certainly doesn't think so. He should hope to make a final decision and curse Felix to death next time they meet.
'It will probably be quiet for a few months...' Felix thought. Voldemort did gain something from this battle, but he got bad news: he could finally confirm that Felix was on the same level as him.
There is a common sense in the magic world.
The physical differences between wizards are not as big as imagined. Even elite wizards like Snape, Professor McGonagall, or Moody can hardly withstand two or three Stunning Curses at the same time, not to mention the existence of super-standard spells like the Avada Kedavra Curse. Therefore, when Voldemort thought that he might be attacked by two wizards of the same level at any time, his whereabouts would become more secretive and he would not show up easily unless he was sure of it.
"What will Voldemort do next? Find a handy wand to create chaos, sow discord and passively wait for opportunities." These are the three methods Felix thought of. In his judgment, Voldemort should try them one by one in order.
The first is to find a suitable wand.
Felix happened to have the same need.
The magic world is not short of legends about powerful wands, but it is often difficult to find out when you really want to study them. Many wizards automatically classify such legends as fairy tales, and few people take the initiative to look for them. Moreover, even if they find them, they may not be more suitable for themselves.
Felix has some knowledge of wandology, but it basically stays at the understanding of the characteristics of different wand materials. As for asking him to judge which rumor is more reliable and more well-founded, he has no idea where to start. Although he himself does not understand, he can consult people who know about this.
Dumbledore and the owner of Ollivander's wand shop are the two suitable candidates in Felix's mind.
It would be even better if Ollivander had the ability to customize a wand for him. He has a lot of hair, and he doesn't feel bad at all to take out some to create his own wand. Felix thought to himself, but Voldemort is in trouble, because he doesn't even have eyebrows.
"But Voldemort's strength is also ridiculously strong, especially his attack." Felix said to himself, and then laughed dumbly, "It's not unfair that he was restrained by Dumbledore. The powerful Transfiguration completely defeated Voldemort's combat system."
Felix, Dumbledore and Voldemort are three people standing at the top of wizards.
But if you look closely, their magic paths are different. Felix himself is the most extensive. In addition to the magic system, he also compatible with the research directions of Salazar Slytherin and Rowena Ravenclaw, and his conventional spells are not weak; Dumbledore is the oldest, and has almost no shortcomings under the polishing of time, but his strongest is undoubtedly Transfiguration, while Voldemort went all the way to the end. After digesting Salazar Slytherin's legacy, he then strode towards the direction of dark magic. Perhaps he also integrated his understanding of death into the dark magic. Although it was completely unrecognizable, the damage of the spell should be the strongest among the three.
If Felix had to choose, he would rather fight against Dumbledore. At least the changes in runes were no less than those in Transfiguration, and he could also waste time or use ancient magic to fight back.
Runes, Transfiguration, and dark magic formed a circle that made Felix sigh at the wonder of fate.
But since he stood with Dumbledore, Voldemort should be the one with a headache now.
...
When Harry woke up in the bedroom of the Black mansion, he heard Ron's loud snoring.
Harry got up from the bed and put on his glasses. The things in the room suddenly became clear. He carefully looked at Ron in the dark. He was sleeping soundly until this time. He had time to think about some things.
First, he received the Order of Merlin. He touched his pocket, which was empty. As expected, he found a gold medal next to the pillow with a purple ribbon wrapped around it. After the ceremony, he was informed of the plan of the fishing operation. After being frightened for a while, he finally got the exact news, but things became strange after that.
He saw Voldemort.
From the discussion he heard afterwards, it seemed that Voldemort had hidden his magic in the body of a vampire. Harry's breath stagnated. What a familiar statement. He touched the scar on his forehead. Headmaster Dumbledore had said something similar to him.
He suddenly felt a chill, worried that he would die quietly like the vampire he saw during the day.
His head began to buzz, as if someone was talking to him.
But Dumbledore assured Ms. Bones that there would be no negative impact, either on him or on others. Others... Harry pondered the word and found it a bit harsh. He suddenly glanced at Ron, who was snoring soundly, which made Harry feel better. At least Ron didn't worry that he would suddenly pull out his wand and hit him.
But did Dumbledore's statement count? Harry had a doubt.
His situation is quite rare, isn't it? If there were another person walking around with a lightning-shaped scar on his head, it would definitely be recorded in a book, and Hermione would spare no effort to find him and tell him excitedly that there was an unlucky person with the same experience as him.
Even without her starting to look for him, people would automatically put that person's name together with his, discuss and marvel at the miracle of magic.
But the fact is that he was the only one who was safe and sound after being hit by the Killing Curse, and even Professor Happ denied the claim of resurrection from the dead. Only him, Harry thought, even though it was not his credit at all.
Precisely because his case is so rare, it comes back to the question just now, is Dumbledore's statement right?
