I can enter Hogwarts in the end of the world - #181 - Chapter 181 Dumbledore’s Change
Time always passes quietly, and three days fly by.
During this period, Dumbledore did not leave this dormitory. He sat on a chair like a statue without eating or drinking. However, the substantial magic in the air and the energy field mixed with souls became more and more majestic, and even became more powerful. Caused slight spatial distortion.
But Dumbledore, who caused all this, didn’t care at all, and his eyes were still staring at the figure lying on the bed.
Since yesterday, he has noticed that Ian’s life has begun to dissipate. Perhaps it is magic or other reasons that make Ian’s life dissipate extremely slowly.
However, no matter how fast it is, dissipation is dissipation. This is an indisputable fact. Death is only a matter of time.
Dumbledore did not give up. No matter what the outcome was, he would witness the final result. His calm appearance seemed unruffled, but… his left hand trembled inadvertently, proving that he was not as calm and composed in his heart as he appeared.
Time passes minute by minute, from early morning to evening, from night to dawn.
Ian was still sleeping soundly, showing no signs of waking up, but the smile at the corner of his mouth became clearer.
Because in his heart, this torturous mental torture was finally coming to an end.
Early in the morning.
Ian finally exhaled his last breath, and his chest stopped rising.
Dumbledore still didn’t make any move, only the expression in his eyes changed slightly, but he was still waiting. In other words, he didn’t want to believe this fact.
…
Ian felt like he had had a long dream, in which he turned into a phoenix, was born from the fire, nirvana in the fire, and finally turned into a ball of flame again.
The phoenix is different from the thunderbird. It represents cycle and witness, the cycle of life and death, and the witness of time.
And in the repeated cycles, Ian also recognized himself, or proved himself.
“How to prove my existence? Death is the best proof. I have experienced death and gained new life, so… I exist!”
Knowing his true nature, Ian answered this question perfectly in his mind.
Vaguely… he seemed to hear Rowena Ravenclaw’s ethereal, cold voice coming from the distance again: “The answer is correct!”
This time, he clearly sensed the emotion in the other person’s voice, the emotion of relief and appreciation.
“boom!”
In the world outside the soul, Ian’s body, which had long since stopped breathing, burned with golden flames. The hot, bright, and holy flames swallowed up the entire body in an instant, but did not damage anything around it.
At this time, Ian once again clearly perceived everything in the outside world, and also felt his own changes. After transforming into a phoenix in his dream and experiencing countless deaths and rebirths, he knew what he was about to experience again.
Similarly, the moment Dumbledore saw the golden flames engulfing Ian, his tired eyes burst out with an unprecedented look. He felt the vitality of the phoenix from the flames…
At this moment, through the golden flame, he vaguely saw Arianna smiling at him, and he read forgiveness and relief from that smile.
“My sister never seems to blame herself!”
Dumbledore also smiled, his old face full of relief and happiness.
“Chirp!”
The distant and clear phoenix cry sounded, but this time it sounded twice in succession.
The first sound contained the joy of rebirth, and seemed to be the first cry of a phoenix born in the flames. The second sound is full of relief and relaxation, like the low cry of an old phoenix before nirvana…
Time seemed to stand still at this moment for a long time.
The boiling magic that had filled the dormitory before quietly disappeared, and Dumbledore stood there with a smile on his face, but he was no different from before, except that the smile on his face became more sincere.
On the other side, Ian also completed the rebirth of the phoenix. After the flames dissipated, what appeared in mid-air was a golden and gorgeous phoenix, bright, noble, elegant…it seemed to combine all the beautiful words in the world.
“Can you bear to watch like this, an old man enduring hunger with you?”
The golden phoenix dissipated instantly and was replaced by a slender and tall figure.
The long hair mixed with black and gold not only does not look messy, but also presents a strange beauty. The most eye-catching thing is the pair of captivating eyes, with deep eyes and flaming pupils, which seem to have infinite magic power.
“I’m sorry that you haven’t had candy for a few days.” Ian said softly. His voice was still the same, but it was more friendly and relaxed.
“Thank you! Principal. I have remembered what happened in the past few days.” Ian’s tone was sincere, and then he asked hesitantly:
“It’s just…you seem to be different again?”
Dumbledore’s changes made Ian very confused. After experiencing these, he thought he was on the same level as the other party, but today… this was somewhat different from what he expected.
“Nothing different. Now do you need some sweets to top it off?”
Dumbledore did not answer Ian’s question directly. He would never say another word to him now. Before, he just mentioned “soul” in passing, and the other party could do so many thrilling things.
God knows what kind of ripples he will cause if he says something now. Even if he said…he would only wait until Ian graduated or even got married before he would tell everything at the right opportunity.
“Okay!” Ian nodded and did not break the casserole to ask the truth. Everyone has their own secrets. Although he still felt that he couldn’t beat Dumbledore, he was extremely satisfied with his current strength.
Among other things, the first thing is that the Death Curse will no longer work on him. Not only the Death Curse, but any other fatal injury will not cause direct death to him.
The cycle of Phoenix’s life and death makes him indirectly immune to these, but Ian also knows that everything has a price, but compared to real death, even the price is acceptable.
“Magic is like a thousand-petaled narcissus…” Ian murmured in his heart. With the same bloodline as the phoenix, he took a different path from Dumbledore.
Dumbledore saw Ian who was somewhat silent and said again: “I ordered another batch of fresh cockroach piles, do you want to try them?”
After not eating for several days, after hearing the pile of cockroaches, he suddenly awakened his sense of taste and remembered the sour and sweet silky honey.
“Why not? I can’t wait.”
After Ian finished speaking, he started to apparate to the principal’s office.
At this moment, he no longer needs to rely on the guardian phoenix. To a certain extent, he is already a phoenix in human form.
