"Although you are already very powerful now, in terms of strength, you may surpass most adult wizards."
"But I don't think you and your family and friends are ready to deal with endless harassment."
Dumbledore's words explained all this to Cassandra in detail and earnestly.
Cassandra's performance today, no matter in terms of strength or momentum, Dumbledore can no longer treat Cassandra as an ordinary little wizard.
And this is also the reason why he had trouble with Cassandra again and again before.
Now that he had clarified everything, it was up to Cassandra to accept it.
Cassandra was not surprised by Dumbledore's attitude.
After all, things like the Philosopher's Stone are too attractive.
Among other things, as long as Voldemort is not dead, how could Dumbledore dare to hand over the Philosopher's Stone to Cassandra for safekeeping?
Cassandra seemed to have won today, and she won after occupying a favorable terrain with the assistance of the two professors.
Had Voldemort been allowed to sneak up on Cassandra, the outcome would have definitely been different.
But Cassandra naturally wouldn't give up just like that, she asked: "Professor, what do you plan to do with the Sorcerer's Stone next?"
Dumbledore looked at the Sorcerer's Stone in his hand, and said sincerely: "I planned to discuss with my old friends to see if they would destroy the Sorcerer's Stone."
"But now, I plan to tell them what happened today and ask if they have any other opinions."
Although there was a hint of possibility in Dumbledore's words, Cassandra understood that the Philosopher's Stone would eventually be destroyed.
It's not just a question of Dumbledore and Nicole Flamel's willingness to help Cassandra.
It's more about how they deal with Voldemort's endless harassment and sneak attacks.
Dumbledore can indeed protect the Sorcerer's Stone now, but he can only protect the Sorcerer's Stone.
If Voldemort still wants to get the Sorcerer's Stone, he can't just steal it from Dumbledore.
So will Voldemort think of another way?
With so many students at Hogwarts, will they be Voldemort's target?
These are the responsibilities on Dumbledore's shoulders, and they are issues that he must consider.
"That is to say, the Philosopher's Stone will be destroyed after all?"
Dumbledore didn't nod, but he didn't shake his head either.
At least in Dumbledore's opinion, destroying the Philosopher's Stone is the best solution.
It's just that this will inevitably make Cassandra sad, and this is what Dumbledore doesn't want to see.
Hermione looked at Cassandra sadly, and seemed to want to say something, but was finally speechless.
She cast a look of help to McGonagall and Flitwick, and Flitwick, who liked Hermione very much, shook his head. This kind of thing is not something they can participate in.
"I see, Professor."
"But what if I tell you that my purpose is to destroy the Philosopher's Stone?"
Cassandra's words surprised everyone present.
It is obvious that the purpose of Cassandra asking for the Sorcerer's Stone just now is to store the magic power when she ran away silently, so why did she want to destroy the Sorcerer's Stone again?
"I'm all ears, Miss Malfoy."
Dumbledore adjusted his glasses, and looked seriously at Cassandra, who was becoming more and more incomprehensible.
Cassandra closed her eyes, and just killed Quirrell, which gave her a little magic affinity.
Now Cassandra's magic affinity has come to 4.
For the magic power of gold hidden in her hair, she has a little more feeling, and can barely control them.
At Cassandra's full execution, there was a little light in her hair.
Finally, these golden lights came to Cassandra's palm and turned into a golden cotton ball.
Swaying like a tumbler.
"This is?"
All eyes were on the golden dumpling, and Dumbledore took the initiative to take a few steps closer, looking at the thing in Cassandra's palm in surprise.
He could feel it, it was magic.
But such a pure and energetic, but extremely stable and even lazy magic power, this is his first one.
"I don't know what that's supposed to be, Professor."
"After the silent magic power broke the Sorcerer's Stone, this thing appeared."
"It can be manipulated by me, but it is very disobedient and looks harmless."
"As for the effect...then I don't know at all."
Dumbledore nodded and said, "Excuse me, may I touch it?"
"Please, Professor."
Dumbledore stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the golden cotton ball.
Snape on one side showed Dumbledore's wrist and said, "Be careful, Dumbledore."
Dumbledore nodded, and took out his wand.
Looking at the elder wand, it is obvious that this is the Elder Wand.
For the first time, Cassandra felt that the Three Hallows were so close to her.
Unfortunately, that task Cassandra has declined.
Ah... no.
What's the pity?
She didn't kill innocent people indiscriminately!
The Elder Wand finally touched the golden cotton ball, which still wobbled and seemed unchanged.
Dumbledore tried to output some magic power, but all the magic power was bounced off by the golden cotton ball, and he had no intention of absorbing the magic power at all.
Now Dumbledore was completely confused.
"At least for now, it can be used to rebound the curse."
Snape praised from the side, but when he said this with Sima's face, people couldn't tell whether it was really a compliment or a smug expression.
Dumbledore stood up straight and asked seriously, "Miss Malfoy, has your silence changed since it was born?"
"Probably the upper limit has weakened, and part of it has silently transformed into it."
These words made both Dumbledore and Snape look incredible.
Hearing this, they completely understood.
The Philosopher's Stone purified part of Moran, and then refined Moran into another unknown thing.
Of course, the price is also painful.
Things like the Philosopher's Stone are almost extinct.
Purifying one's obscurity with the Philosopher's Stone does not seem like such a good deal.
Because as long as Moran is not completely purified, it will grow again and be bound to the life of the silent person forever.
Can the Sorcerer's Stone that Dumbledore has now completely purify Cassandra's silence?
Judging from Cassandra's performance before, Dumbledore is not optimistic about this.
He was lost in thought, when suddenly his wrist flicked, and an incredulous expression appeared on his face.
"What's the matter with you, Dumbledore?"
Snape asked casually, and Dumbledore suddenly raised his hand to stop Snape's words.
Then he put away the Elder Wand without missing a trace, and looked at Cassandra with deep eyes.
"Miss Malfoy," Dumbledore said again, "can you come with me, I want you to see something."
"Minerva, Felius, take Harry to the school hospital, he's about to pass out."
Only then did McGonagall and Flitwick notice that Harry was shaking all over, and quickly lifted him up with the Levitation Charm, and took him away.
They were all attracted by the conversation between Cassandra and Dumbledore just now.
"Severus, please take care of Miss Granger first."
Then, without giving others a chance to speak, he turned and walked towards the original Black Fire Gate.
He cast a spell at will, and the damaged castle was quickly repaired.
When Cassandra and Dumbledore came outside the Black Fire Gate, even the medicine bottle broken by Cassandra was repaired.
Of course, the potion in the bottle was beyond repair.
But it is not needed now, because the Black Flame has been put away by Dumbledore.
"Come on, Miss Malfoy."
Dumbledore led Cassandra to a huge mirror.
It reaches ceiling height with a golden frame and is supported by 2 claw-shaped feet.
This is the Mirror of Erised, which plays an important role in the original book. It can make people see the most urgent and strongest desire in their hearts.
Seeing the mirror, Cassandra remained silent.
She should have asked what the mirror was, but she didn't.
I don't even bother to ask.
Why Dumbledore brought her to see this mirror, the answer is self-evident.
Now Dumbledore, indeed, no longer uses Legilimency on students, nor does he use Veritaserum—except for the euphoria that pretends to be Veritaserum.
But I still can't help but borrow things like the Mirror of Erised to understand the hearts of students.
Harry in the original book also enjoyed this treatment.
