Chapter 47: Dreaming about Conceptual Spells and Doubts about the Assignment!

[Sure! The conceptual spell - Reparo Maxima (a powerful spell for restoration) can allow the host to restore any object to its state at any point in the past.]

"Thump, thump..."

Dudley's heart rate involuntarily increased. He was over the moon. If he got this reward, he would be on top of the world!

Revive his relatives and friends, wipe out his enemies, and no one could stop him!

Harry's parents, Dumbledore's kin, the return of the deceased is no longer a dream!

If Voldemort dared to show up in front of him, he would directly restore this ugly bastard to his fetal state. Still want to play with immortality? He'd make him reborn and then die prematurely!

Dudley's mind was running wild, with new ideas popping up one after another. Holding the golden cup in his hands, the corners of his mouth involuntarily twitched upward, showing a sinister, silent smile. Without saying a word, he looked rather creepy.

He had suspected for a long time that there was something fishy about SS - Rank and SSS - level regret events, and it turned out to be true!

In the original story, there was no means to truly revive people. The so - called Deathly Hallow - Resurrection Stone (one of the Deathly Hallows) could only summon the false images of the dead, describe the splendor of the afterlife, and was just a piece of junk that lured the user of the Resurrection Stone to commit suicide.

But Dudley's System had unlocked so many regret events that could only be resolved by reviving the dead. So, there must be a Cheat System for Dudley to solve them.

Now, the resurrection - enabling Cheat System had arrived, and the loop was closed!

Calm Mind!

Suddenly, Dumbledore, holding the Elder Wand, cast the Calm Mind Spell on Dudley. When he and Harry saw Dudley giggling stupidly while holding the golden cup, they initially thought it was the soul fragment of Voldemort in the golden cup causing trouble. But after a careful inspection, they found that wasn't the case.

It was purely Dudley going bonkers on his own.

So, that old coot Dumbledore directly cast spells to make Dudley calm down.

Dudley and Harry jointly developed two spells. Dumbledore mastered them skillfully after practicing two or three times. Using them now was quite effortless.

Harry: "Cousin, are you okay?"

Seeing Dudley's expression return to normal, Harry quickly asked with concern.

Dudley: "I'm fine!"

Dudley replied gently to his cousin. Then he gave Dumbledore a dirty look and said irritably, "Dumbledore, have you never seen someone happy? What's with the Calm Mind Spell? Such a buzzkill!

The main purpose for which I guided Harry to develop this spell was to counter the Killing spell, not to spoil others' good mood!"

Dumbledore: "Alright, Dudley, it's my fault! I just thought you were laughing a bit... outrageously and thought you had unknowingly been cursed by an evil spell."

Dumbledore laughed and begged for mercy. He could tell that Dudley wasn't really angry.

Dudley: "You've got it all wrong! I'm not cursed; I've hit the jackpot!"

Dudley got excited again, unable to contain his excitement, but soon he seemed to recall something and quickly adjusted himself. Then he continued to say to Dumbledore, "Dumbledore, do you have anything else?

If not, you should go to Sirius's place again quickly, find that house - elf Kreacher, and get him to hand over Slytherin's locket. I have a hunch that it's also one of Voldemort's Horcruxes!"

Go and bring it back. Just like the Cup of Helga Hufflepuff, don't deliberately damage it. Bring it back to me and leave it with me. When we come up with a foolproof way to separate the soul, we'll discuss it together!"

"Great! Dudley, it turns out you were having a Seer bloodline activation just now! Professor Trelawney trembles all over and sways her head when she makes a prophecy, but you were cackling. It's really amazing!"

Dumbledore exclaimed joyfully, almost incoherently. He was always enthusiastic about anything that could weaken Voldemort.

He got up and was about to take action, but then he remembered a few things and sat back down.

"Dudley, there are still a few things. I'll be quick.

You told me to wipe out all the Death Eaters in Azkaban, but I didn't completely finish the job. Bellatrix Lestrange is not quite dead. She became a ghost and is haunting that isolated island of Azkaban. She can't move far away and is not easy to get rid of.

Blame me for using Fiendfyre Pathfinder (a magical spell that combines Fiendfyre and transfiguration), an advanced magic, instead of the Killing Spell. Only using the Killing Spell or the Dementors' Kiss to kill someone can ensure that no ghosts remain in the world.

I overlooked this at the time."

"A ghost? The reason for its formation is worth exploring, but it's not urgent. We can explore the reason later. Well, if that Death Eater became a ghost, then so be it. Anyway, she can't cause mischief anymore. Let her just wander around Azkaban for now!"

Dudley thought for two seconds and said indifferently.

"Also, there's the matter of these two house-elves I brought.

Lucius Malfoy is a Hogwarts governor, a powerful and affluent noble, and a former Death Eater. He's good at assessing the situation astutely. In other words, he's one of your double-dealers. When he saw me display my strength and methods, he sent me a house-elf to show his favor. This is very logical.

But Barty Crouch, the vanguard against Voldemort, the former head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, and the current head of the Department of International Magical Cooperation and Exchange, approached me actively and traded a precious house-elf to me at a low price. This is a bit off.

He's not a Death Eater. He's always been on the side of justice. He's upright and stodgy. He doesn't seem like the kind of person who would take the initiative to give gifts and curry favor.

The only reason I can think of for him is that when he was the head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, he imprisoned Sirius in Azkaban without a trial.

Now that I've taken Sirius out of Azkaban, as a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Magic, he should have received the news. Maybe he wants to give me a gift so that I won't hold this against him.

But this guilt isn't serious. After all, Sirius remained silent after he was caught and didn't defend himself at all. The trial couldn't come to any conclusion either. I don't plan to give Barty a hard time because of this.

He's an upright old wizard and not afraid of trouble. Even when his own son became a Death Eater, he mercilessly sent him to be tried and imprisoned in Azkaban.

So, I just can't shake off this suspicion a bit about him taking the initiative to approach me and trade the house-elf at a low price. I hope you can help me analyze it, Dudley."

"Didn't you use Legilimency to read his mind when you made the deal yesterday?" Dudley asked.

Dumbledore scratched his head helplessly. "Dudley, I'm not a voyeur. I can't just cast Legilimency on everyone I see."

Moreover, Barty's magic power is not weak. He may have even practiced Occlumency. Even using Legilimency, we may not be able to obtain the answer, and he might sense it, which would spoil our relationship.

I don't want to do that. After all, he came to show his goodwill to me!"

Dudley nodded in comprehension and then posed another question.

"His son is a Death Eater and was imprisoned in Azkaban. So when you went on a rampage in Azkaban before, did you kill his son?"

"Of course not. His son died in the cell ages ago. If Dumbledore were to show kindness to someone who had just killed his son, no matter how honest he is, that just wouldn't be logical!"

Dumbledore said matter-of-factly, as if stating the obvious.
