The Wind and the Wings of Hogwarts

If it weren't for her blood relation to Voldemort, which allowed Voldemort to use that connection to curse her, she probably would have already won.

Scott wanted to see if he could find the secret of Medea's puppet magic through these dolls.

Unfortunately, he could tell from his magical perception that the nearby ceramic figures were all ordinary and contained no magic at all.

Or rather, these are just embryos that have not yet been further processed.

Scott, undeterred, began walking around the wall, preparing to inspect all the ceramic figures.

After slowly walking past a dozen or so ceramic figures, he finally stopped again.

The humanoid figure before them emanated magical energy from its heart area.

Scott examined it carefully and then revealed a look of surprise.

He decisively swung his wand, using a cutting charm to destroy the surface of the humanoid heart area.

The ceramic shattered, and several white shards fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Under the watchful eyes of Dumbledore and Sirius, Scott reached into the left side of the humanoid's chest and took out a red gem.

"This is……"

Dumbledore was somewhat surprised and quickly walked up to Scott.

"It's a one-time use magic stone, Professor."

Scott handed the red gem to Dumbledore.

"Oh, this is..."

Dumbledore reached out and took it, examining it several times over.

"I see. As expected, it's very different from the Philosopher's Stone made by Nico... It contains far too little magic... No wonder it's a one-time use item..."

He muttered to himself as he read.

"Philosopher's Stone?"

Sirius was somewhat dumbfounded.

"That legendary magic stone? Are you kidding me?"

"It's a one-time use magic stone."

Scott told him.

"In other words, it can only be used once, and after that it will be completely ineffective."

"But the effect won't be diminished after just one use, right?"

Sirius asked, somewhat excitedly.

"This……"

Scott shook his head.

"I do not know."

Using the magic stone also requires skill.

Not everyone is Nicolas Flamel.

Even if Scott wanted to use the Philosopher's Stone to extend his lifespan, he couldn't create an elixir of immortality even with the stone.

He didn't even know how to turn lead into gold.

The one-time magic stone he obtained earlier was actually used by him as a magic battery, helping him to conjure Rimbaud when his magic reserves were low.

Medea was used in the same way.

During her battle with Voldemort, she used a one-time use Philosopher's Stone to transform the straightforward Killing Curse into an auto-tracking, forking, and turning Killing Curse.

Of course, the Philosopher's Stone also has the characteristic that it can work without needing to learn the method.

That is, it endowed Rimbaud with greater wisdom and growth potential, and made him closer to the essence of natural life.

Having satisfied his curiosity, Dumbledore handed the disposable Philosopher's Stone back to him.

"professor?"

"It's okay, I think it might be able to play a greater role in your hands."

Dumbledore placed the Philosopher's Stone in his hand.

"Oh, this is the Philosopher's Stone? Let me see."

Sirius immediately moved closer to Scott, staring curiously at the stone in his hand.

"Of course you can take a look."

Scott handed him the stone.

Chapter 486 Voldemort's New Movements

Scott placed the one-time use Philosopher's Stone in Sirius's hand and walked around the wall for a full circle.

After carefully examining the other ceramic dolls, he was disappointed to find that there was only one disposable magic stone.

He couldn't help but sigh.

This makes it impossible to determine whether Medea was capable of creating one-time use magic stones.

Although Medea said that the disposable Philosopher's Stones were all left behind by Salazar Slytherin, it is also possible that she created them herself.

"Let's go, let's go out."

Dumbledore said to Scott and Sirius.

"There's no need to explore this area any further. Let's not keep the others waiting any longer."

Phoenix Fox, perched on his hat, chirped, seemingly in agreement.

"Let's go then, they've been waiting for quite a while."

Sirius Black stuffed the one-time use Philosopher's Stone into Scott's hand and walked out first.

The three of them walked through the corridor and arrived at the dungeon again.

Dumbledore casually waved his wand, and everything returned to normal.

The collapsed stone wall was repaired, and the stone wall Scott created with his transformation magic disappeared.

Through the narrow passages of the dungeon, they finally reached the ground floor of the castle.

"They're out."

Scott heard a familiar voice.

Immediately afterward, Remus Lupin ran over from the other side.

"Are you all alright? How's it going inside... Oh, it's you, Scott."

He was also surprised when he saw Scott.

Good evening, Professor Lu Ping.

Scott greeted him politely.

"Oh, good evening. I'm no longer your professor. Just call me Remus."

Lupin looked much better than before; at least he was dressed more appropriately.

He greeted Dumbledore respectfully and then reported the situation.

"It's all taken care of, Professor."

"Kinless sent people to the hospital to take the poisoned wizards, and the memories of the Muggles have been erased."

Dumbledore nodded.

"We can leave now."

Sirius smiled and walked over to Remus, the two of them walking arm in arm like teenagers.

"That Slytherin lady has run away!"

Sirius said with a smile.

"Only an empty, secret room remained. It's hard to imagine that she had been sleeping in a crystal coffin all along..."

They soon arrived at the castle's gun emplacement, where several wizards Scott knew were gathered.

Including Professor Moody, Kinles Shackle, Nymphadora Tonks, and Charlie Weasley.

Besides them, there were several Aurors, as well as a few captured but not poisoned individuals.

Among them was Mrs. Zabini.

“You have no right to arrest me. I have not violated any laws enacted by the British magical community.”

Despite having her hands bound behind her back, Mrs. Zabini still acted very strongly.

"No one says I can't take a walk in this city tonight..."

Good evening, Charlie.

Scott walked over to Charlie.

Charlie said quietly, "Good evening, Scott. Oh, she's really difficult. She hasn't stopped talking since just now."

“It’s a bit tricky,” Scott said.

Moody's terrifying expression and his darting demonic eyes seemed to have lost their intimidating power, and Shakel looked utterly helpless.

Scott glanced again at Mrs. Zabini, who was acting quite self-righteous.

Charlie said, "She did not participate in the fight, nor did she harm any Muggles, and she refuses to acknowledge anyone else as her accomplice."

"I told you, I only came here by chance..."

Mrs. Zabini continued to try to exonerate herself with reasons that no one believed.

Scott, however, was thinking about something else.

"What are you doing here, Charlie? Have you joined Azkaban as a dragon tamer?"
