It is over, Felix mentally breathed a sigh of relief.
He bent down and twisted the dregs of the wand and turned it into powder on the ground, as he thought about the battle just now. Overall, he did well enough, pretty much even with Voldemort, only at the end his rhythm become messy when he dodged that exaggerated curse, but the biggest goal of his trip was achieved - Felix ranged the approximate strength of Voldemort, which will provide a basis for the next battle.
Felix grinned, he suddenly found that the situation seems to be reversed from a decade ago.
Voldemort had repeatedly challenged Dumbledore because he thought he was in a period of growing up, which is why he has done such a seemingly suicidal thing. And now, the situation is reversed, Felix is the one who is improving, and he does not mind sparring more with Voldemort.
But Voldemort certainly will not think so, he would rather hope that the next time they meet it'll be a one-shot kill, directly curse Felix to death.
'I guess there will be a few months of peace ...' Felix thought, that in this battle, Voldemort was also not without a gain, although all he got was a piece of bad news: he could finally be sure that Felix, and he stood on the same level.
There is common knowledge in the wizarding world here.
The physical difference between wizards is not as great as one might think. Even elite wizards like Snape, Professor McGonagall, or Moody can hardly withstand two or three stunning spells at the same time, not to mention the presence of a super spell-like Killing Curse. So when Voldemort believes that he is likely to be attacked by two wizards of the same level as him at the same time, his whereabouts will only get more and more secretive, and he will not show up easily unless he is absolutely sure.
"What will Voldemort do next? Looking for the wand; create chaos; passively wait for an opportunity..." These are the three ways Felix thought of. In his judgment, Voldemort will try them one by one in order.
The first is to find a suitable wand.
It just so happens that Felix has the same need.
There is no shortage of legends about powerful wands in the wizarding world, but there is usually no starting point when it comes to looking for them. Many wizards automatically classify such legends as fairy tales, and few people will actively look for them, not to mention the fact that they may not necessarily be suitable for them.
Felix has some knowledge about wand research, but it basically stays on the understanding of the qualities of different wand materials, as for asking him to judge which rumour is more reliable and more based, he can't be sure, but if he doesn't understand it himself, he can find people who know about it for advice.
Dumbledore and Ollivander, the wand shop owner, are the two suitable candidates in Felix's mind.
If Ollivander can customize a wand for him, it would be even better. He has a lot of hair, so taking out some to build an exclusive wand does not hurt him at all. Felix was amused when he thought about it, Voldemort is in trouble, he does not even have eyebrow hair.
"But Voldemort's strength is also ridiculously high, especially his attack power." Felix muttered to himself, then dumbfounded, "He was restrained by Dumbledore is really not that unfair, the powerful transfiguration is simply perfect to restrain Voldemort's combat system."
Felix, Dumbledore, and Voldemort are the three people who are standing at the apex of wizardry now.
But when you look closer, you will notice that their magic paths are different. Felix is most versatile, because in addition to the rune system, he is also fully compatible with the research directions of Salazar Slytherin and Rowena Ravenclaw, and his regular spells are not weak; Dumbledore is the oldest, and he has no shortcomings under the polishing of time, but his strongest is still undoubtedly Transfiguration, while Voldemort walks on a path of no return, after digesting Salazar Slytherin's legacy; Still, after obtaining the legacy, he made a big stride in the direction of dark magic, perhaps he also integrated his understanding of 'death' into dark magic, although he became faceless, but in terms of spell damage among the three, he should be the strongest.
If Felix had to choose, he would rather face Dumbledore, at least the runes are no less versatile than Transfiguration, and he can also waste away ancient magic to attack or consume the other party.
The Runes, Transfiguration, and Dark Magic, vaguely formed a circle, allowing Felix to feel the wonders of fate.
But since he and Dumbledore stood together, now the one that should feel a headache would be Voldemort.
...
When Harry woke up from his bedroom in Black's old mansion, Ron's loud snoring sound in his ears.
Harry got up from the bed, and put on his glasses, the room became visible, and he took another cautious glance at Ron in the darkness - he is sleeping soundly - only then, he had relaxed enough to think about a few things.
First, he had been awarded the Order of Merlin - he touched his pockets, they were empty, and not surprisingly he found the gold medallion with the purple ribbon wrapped around it, next to his pillow. After the ceremony, he was told about the baiting operation, and after a period of anxiety he finally got the positive news, but after that everything went bizarre.
He saw Voldemort.
From the discussions he heard afterward, it seemed that Voldemort had hidden his magic in the vampire's body. Harry's breath strained, what a familiar statement, he touched the scar on his forehead, Headmaster Dumbledore had said something similar to him.
A sudden chill ran through his spine, and he worried that he would die silently, like the vampires he had seen during the day.
His mind began to buzz as if someone is speaking to him.
But Dumbledore assured Ms. Bones that there would be no negative impact, either on him or on anyone else. The others ... Harry mulled over the word and found it a little jarring. He suddenly glanced at Ron, who is snoring soundly, which made Harry feel better, at least Ron did not worry that he would suddenly draw his wand against him.
But did Dumbledore's statement counts, Harry felt a doubt.
His case is quite rare, isn't it? If there was another person with a lightning-shaped scar on his head, it would have been recorded in some book, and Hermione would have spared no effort to find it and tell him with great enthusiasm that there was an unlucky person who had suffered the same fate as him.
She didn't even have to look for it, people would automatically put that person's name on display with him, discussing and lamenting the wonders of magic.
But the truth is, he is the only one who survived the Killing Curse unscathed, and even Professor Hap denied the claim of coming back from the dead. So he is the only one, Harry thought, even though it is not due to his credit.
And since his case is so rare, it comes back to the question, is Dumbledore right or not?
