"This...?" Looking at Professor McGonagall, Gray couldn't grasp what is happening directly.
Looking around himself, Gray found a weird orange light like barrier around him and Perona while they were standing in the middle.
Why Professor McGonagall is here? Or he should ask... Why did they appear here? looking around this is not the huge hall inside the room of requirement... if they came out from the book shouldn't they appear there again?
But hearing her words, they quickly realized, looks like Dumbledore found them and brought them here.. Or it can be said that he brought the book back here...
"You two, not only left your dormitories at night but actually entered the room of requirement! I don't know what kind of luck you both have, but it's not a bit of good luck. Do you know how dangerous the book you found is?!" Professor McGonagall is so angry, the book is a very well known evil book that was sealed a very long time ago!
To think Gray and Perona actually found it and were devoured by it, she was very worried that two good kids like Gray and Perona would die inside!
"This....." Gray and Perona are not sure what they should say... They just came out of the book world to find themselves being yelled at by Professor McGonagall... Looking at her almost became a monster face from anger, Gray finally remembered how fearful the teacher could be... Really... he even found himself speechless for a second...
As for Perona she already grasped Gray's hand...
"Well... Calm down Professor McGonagall" The old man Dumbledore voice also appeared behind Gray. Since this is his office, he naturally should be here.
Gray and Perona looked back to find Dumbledore walking out slowly from another room inside this office.
Dumbledore also looked at Gray and Perona with a calm, elderly smile. And the orange barrier around them disappeared.
"I'm really glad to see that both of you are still alive... you have to know that no one till now managed to get out from the book after being devoured by it..." Dumbledore said with relief and a surprised tone at the same time.
"The book..." Professor McGonagall wanted to say something, but Dumbledore raised his hand and stopped her.
"I know... I saw everything..." Dumbledore said this and looked at Gray especially.
"I have to say that you two still managed to surprise me faster than I expected..." As Dumbledore was talking the book that devoured them appeared in his hands, then he walked to a familiar box.
Seeing this box, Gray recognizes it...
"This was originally the school mistake, such a book shouldn't have stayed in this school from the beginning..." Dumbledore said this and put the book back in the box and closed it.
While doing this a few locks appeared which most of them are twisted in a weird way.
Dumbledore took the locks and gave Gray a glance, which let Gray realize that this old man knows the locks were his doing...
With a swing from his wand, Dumbledore fixed the locks and resealed the box completely, then he waved his hand again and the box flew to the room he came from just now.
"Book of Even... This is the name of this book" Dumbledore said this while walking to his own chair.
"This book existed for a very long time, no one knows what it was or what it is, but it has been known as a cursed book," Dumbledore said this and paused for a second as if he was remembering something.
"But there is an old story about the Book of Even... it's said that this book was the first magic in the world that could create another new magic!" Dumbledore said and sighed...
"Such a book naturally attracted everyone's curiosity and desire, which costed many lives...
But it was all in vain, even if the book was something like this at some time... Now it's just a dark tool that will only harvest life" Speaking of it, Dumbledore stopped talking and looked at Gray and Perona weirdly.
"Through time, many great wizards also tried to destroy this book, but none were able to do this ....well.... until today, I didn't think anyone could really destroy it," Dumbledore said and shooked his shoulders.
"But both of you here actually made the book lose its power... do you have something to tell me?" Dumbledore looked at Gray and Perona then asked.
The reason why Dumbledore was holding the book so normally just now, was because the book doesn't have any power anymore.
An hour ago, Dumbledore felt the seal on the book was actually broken somehow, so he directly rushed to the room of requirement, it's him who sealed that box so he was able to feel it.
When he found the book on the ground, he also found Gray and Perona who were trapped inside, from the traces they left behind.
So he took the book and came back to his office then asked McGonagall to help him, he and McGonagall both are the best in Transfiguration magic, which is also the hardest magic that needs high control over magic.
Trying to save both Gray and Perona would not be an easy task, so he needed someone who could control magic with him.
The moment he saw the book, Dumbledore knew that something very bad might have already happened to Gray and Perona, so he directly prepared and was ready to start.
McGonagall was also there and was worried about Gray and Perona, but what she and Dumbledore didn't expect, was that the book suddenly shined a weird black light and opened by itself and then Gray and Perona came out from inside!
What can this explain? In fact, it doesn't explain anything, the moment he saw the book on the ground under them he didn't felt the familiar dark feeling from it.
This also surprised him even more, so he came to a fast conclusion.
Either the book was weakened through time, which is not likely, or Gray Perona had done something inside.....
Seeing Dumbledore looking at them like this, Gray and Perona looked at each other confusingly.
They never thought the book actually had such a story, especially Gray, he knows that such a book shouldn't exist in this world... But with another thought, this is not the movie, but a reality, there might be many other amazing things they don't know in this world!
"Well... Even though you said this... We also don't know what happened.....
Gray thought about it for a second and told Dumbledore what happened inside and that both of them broke the illusions they saw, but didn't tell him more, and said that suddenly the world changed and found themselves here.
Hearing Gray's words, both McGonagall and Dumbledore couldn't find any fault, after all, Gray and Perona are so young to do such an amazing thing... But maybe there was a secret inside the book he or Perona has unlocked without realizing, or something else happened...
All in all, things ended here, and Dumbledore asked them not to talk about what happened here outside.
Seeing things ended like this, Gray sighed in relief. But was also reminded again not to think easily about anything.
In fact, he never looked down on this world, even though the magic here doesn't look so strong, and doesn't make mass destruction like other worlds power. But some magics here are much stronger than any other worlds' power!
Professor McGonagall punished Gray and Perona with -50 points each which lowered Gryffindor house points by 100 points, for the rules they broke tonight, then Dumbledore rewarded them another 100 points to help them destroy an evil book and like this, Gray and Perona were warned not to move around the school at night again, or there might be a more strict punishment the next time.
Gray didn't care about this.... points? win the house cup? Well... it's not bad to let the house he belongs to win the cup...
Anyway, that's not the point...
Professor McGonagall was ready to take both Gray and Perona back to their chamber, but suddenly Dumbledore threw a big wizard hat to Perona.
Then gave her and Gray a deep smile.
Looking at this smile, Gray couldn't help but feel eerie... This old man really knows everything they did!
...
...
Gray with Perona walked back to their chamber and found out that everyone is still sleeping quietly so they were alone in the shared room.
"Perona, this world is dangerous... We should be a little more careful in the future" Gray looked at Perona, who already wore the big witch hat on her head, smiling happily. and said.
"Yeah...." Perona nodded her head and said with a serious tone, that book was a really scary event for her.
Gray and Perona were exhausted from everything that really happened, so Gray took Perona to the ring so she can choose the wand she wanted, he already got many wands inside his ring, so after a few minutes, Perona found the wand that she felt most suitable for her.
Then both of them went back to their dormitories.
Gray on his bed was thinking about what happened before leaving the book world...
He's sure that he felt a very weird energy drilling into his body at that time, but weirdly he can't feel anything right now. Completely nothing no matter how much he tried to feel.
And in fact, not only Gray, even Perona in her bed, had the same thought, after all, it's not normal to not feel foreign energy enter your body.
But neither of them could feel any change, which made them wonder what that was...
