Chapter 335: The Principal's Indoor Operation Begins! Old Enemies in the Surrounding Wilderness
Hogwarts Castle, eighth floor, headmaster's office.
Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, Professor Sprout, Professor Slughorn, along with Sirius Black, Lupin, and Harry, were already waiting here.
The space inside the principal's office was also temporarily expanded by the Seamless Stretch Spell.
Everyone restrained their excitement and stood quietly, forming a large circle with a gap in the wall.
In the center of the large circle stands an exquisite exhibition stand.
The booth has a unique design, with five display areas: east, west, south, north, and center.
The Sorting Hat is displayed in the central exhibition area.
Of the surrounding display areas, three are currently empty, with only one displaying the Gryffindor sword.
Above this booth, the symbolic flags of the four colleges, which have absorbed the love and energy of the entire school's teachers and students for almost a whole academic year, are quietly suspended in the air.
In front of the booth, a large cauldron of blue soul-numbing potion was bubbling and churning under Professor Slughorn's watchful eye.
Apart from Harry, none of the people waiting here knew the full story.
All everyone knows is that the big event that is about to happen is related to the treasures left by the four founders of Hogwarts, the fragments of Voldemort's soul, and the magic of love and protection.
They were unaware that the true purpose of all this was to gain the opportunity for conceptualized spell sublimation, to conceptualize the repair spell, and to resurrect those who were remembered by the dead.
"Shhh-"
Suddenly, a crimson spiral appeared out of thin air in the gap that everyone had deliberately left open.
Phoenix Fox teleported over with Dumbledore and Snape.
Dali followed closely behind, carrying the Four Academies Totem Staff, and also arrived in a flash.
"cousin!"
As soon as he saw Dali arrive, Harry couldn't help but call out to him.
He knew that what he was about to do was related to whether he would ever see his living parents again, so he was naturally extremely nervous and apprehensive.
He knew, of course, that Dali must have made thorough preparations and was absolutely certain of success to dare to take action, but even so, he couldn't help but feel a violent fluctuation in his emotions.
"calmly!"
Without uttering a single unnecessary word, Dudley immediately unleashed a full-force Tranquility Charm, which not only forcefully calmed Harry's tense emotions but also soothed the minds of all the professors present.
He didn't blame his cousin for being impatient; he himself had cast a calming spell on himself to maintain his composure.
The magic of conceptualization! Once you get your hands on it, you can manipulate a rule and instantly become a conceptual god!
In a fantasy martial arts novel, this would be the Dao Lord who wields a great Dao!
Any intelligent being capable of understanding its meaning would find it impossible to remain calm in the face of such temptation!
Fortunately, Dudley didn't directly tell these professors, who knew some of the inside information, that today's events were related to the miraculous ability to resurrect people.
At the scene, apart from Dumbledore and Snape, the professors were already deeply moved and their faces were etched with emotion simply upon learning that the four treasures left by the founders of Hogwarts could be reassembled.
If they knew the whole story, they might faint from excitement.
"Alright, professors, please spread out a bit more and use the energy of the Guardian Charm to construct a protective barrier to protect the Founder's Treasure Display and the surrounding items and space!"
To prevent Voldemort's soul fragments from spilling from the relic and causing an accident!
Dumbledore was equally excited. He secretly cast a calming spell on himself before exchanging a glance with Dudley and making arrangements for the professors in the headmaster's office.
Everyone cooperated very well.
The professors stepped back in unison, waved their wands, and chanted the 'Protect the Gods' spell, summoning a large amount of silvery-white protective energy to form a shield.
It covered the display of the founder's heirlooms, the flags symbolizing the four houses, the pot of soul-numbing potion, and also Dudley, Harry, Dumbledore, and Snape.
Snape silently walked over to the pot of soul-numbing potion and stood down.
Following the plan that Dudley and he had agreed upon, Harry left Sirius and Lupin and walked to the front of the booth with Dudley.
Dudley waved his hand and used 'All Protection' and 'Impregnable Fortress' to create a small protective shield, protecting the Sorting Hat on the display stand.
Then, using a transformation spell, he turned some air into a tall table.
Then, he drew circles in the air, creating a personal space passage and storing the Four Academies Totem Staff inside.
Next, they took out the Hufflepuff's Golden Cup, a relic Horcrux, and placed it on the high table.
Just as one must eat one bite at a time, one must also remove the filthy souls that taint the remnants of the soul artifacts one by one.
Beside him, Dumbledore approached and stood still, his gaze fixed on the four house flags floating in the air. He raised the Elder Wand and first drew out the power of love from the Gryffindor flag, then cast a Love Protection spell on the Gryffindor sword on the display stand.
A dazzling light flashed, and the Gryffindor sword actively absorbed the protective magic of love, transforming it into an aid to strengthen itself.
This is an inherent property of the Gryffindor sword: it can absorb powerful matter and energy to become stronger.
Therefore, even without the involvement of the 'sacrifice' factor, the protective magic effect of love attached to the Gryffindor sword will remain forever.
The Sword of Gryffindor was not poisoned by Voldemort and is not a Horcrux.
Dumbledore first imbued it with a Love Protection spell, based on his own sense of belonging to the House and his desire to practice the spellcasting process.
Now, everything is ready.
Let's begin!
Dumbledore spoke, then looked at Snape.
Dudley and Harry stepped aside, exposing the Hufflepuff Cup on the high table to Snape's view.
Snape silently adjusted his aura, his gaze resolute, and waved his wand.
A large handful of the soul-anesthetizing potion flew out of the cauldron, tracing a precise blue parabola in the air before falling directly towards the golden cup-shaped soul artifact on the table…
The operation to remove Voldemort's soul fragment from the three Horcruxes has officially begun!
……
Meanwhile, somewhere in the Scottish Highlands.
In a sparse grove of trees just over ten kilometers from the Hogwarts grounds.
A middle-aged bald man with a typical Asian appearance, wearing a slightly tattered British suit, thin, pale, and covered in 'tattoos' from head to arms, arrived at the scene.
It may be hard to believe, but this person is the ghost cultivator Mo Xuan.
During his wanderings, he encountered several unicorns, cruelly killed them, and then, under the guidance of a certain spirit, drank a large amount of unicorn blood to replenish his life force. He was no longer the old man with gray hair who had sacrificed his lifespan.
As for the chronic, deadly blood curse caused by drinking unicorn blood, it was mostly suppressed by the ghost cultivator Mo Xuan using his lineage's secret sealing technique.
The 'tattoos' on his body are actually scribbled symbols with special effects. To have more space to draw the symbols, he even shaved his head like Voldemort.
However, although the ghostly talisman helped suppress the unicorn blood curse, this did not mean that the ghost cultivator Mo Xuan was in good condition.
