Chapter 387 The Professor's Relatives' Resurrection List! The Forgotten Heroes!
Chapter 387 The Professor's Relatives' Resurrection List! The Forgotten Heroes!
Narcissa pinpointed the crux of her concern.
The fact that Voldemort's soul had parasitized Professor Quirrell and attacked Harry Potter and Dudley Dursley in the Gringotts vault had already made the front page of the Daily Prophet, leaving a deep impression on Narcissa.
A brief moment of reflection at the Carlo family manor, coupled with her woman's intuition, was enough for Narcissa to make a guess and thus make such a cautious arrangement.
"This..." Upon hearing this, Lucius broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly asked, "What do we do now?"
"Of course, we should contact Dudley (Dressley's teaching assistant)!"
Draco and Narcissa gave the same answer at the same time.
Lucius obeyed and immediately pressed his finger on the mirror mark on his wrist, calling out Dudley's name.
The next second, the magic mirror appeared, connecting to Dudley's video call.
……
Within the Hogwarts grounds and the village of Hogsmeade.
Dudley Scott traveled around, using both flying and teleportation to make the Hogwarts professors ten to several decades younger, according to their own wishes.
At the same time, it includes all the knowledge accumulated from the memories of the Hogwarts professors.
Incidentally, through various channels, I obtained a not-too-long list of professors' relatives who had been resurrected.
They also restored the missing limbs and organs of Professor Moody, who was in charge of protecting Muggle talents in Hogsmeade, and Professor Kettleburn, who had retired and settled in Hogsmeade.
Mad-Eye no longer needs the magic eye and the wooden prosthetics.
The retired professor who taught the class on protecting magical creatures no longer needs to lose an arm or a leg.
As for the list of those who have been resurrected, it is as follows:
Robert McGonagall Jr. (a wizard, one of Minerva McGonagall's brothers, killed by Death Eaters in the First Wizarding War).
Elphinstone Elcott (a wizard, Minerva McGonagall's husband, who died unexpectedly from a poisonous tentacle bite);
Brienne Hagrid (a wizard, father of Rubeus Hagrid, who died of grief after his giantess wife, Friedurfa, left him and their twelve-year-old son).
Lyle Lupin (a wizard, father of Remus Lupin, who offended Fenrir Greyback, the leader of the werewolves, resulting in his son being turned into a werewolf as revenge when he was four years old. He later died of grief and remorse due to the loss of his wife).
Hope Lupin (Muggle, Remus Lupin's mother, who died unexpectedly when Remus Lupin was five years old);
The list, compiled from various sources, consists of only five people.
There are only three current professors who have requested to be revived.
The other professors did not want to resurrect anyone; their deceased relatives had either died of old age, had disagreements with them, or were from a distant past... they had already let go of those feelings.
The five people on the resurrection list all died unexpectedly, leaving their respective professors with profound sorrow that is truly unforgettable.
It's worth mentioning that Dudley also made Snape ten years younger, without any discrimination.
This was not a sign that Dudley wanted to befriend Snape, but rather a decision made after considering many factors.
First of all, Snape's development of the Soul-Soothing Potion, whatever the reason, was indeed a great contribution to Dudley's resolution of the unfortunate incident and the acquisition of the Conceptual Charm.
Aside from Aunt Lily, Snape had no one else he wanted to resurrect. Dudley's earlier statement that it was fine if no one wanted to, was just to spite Snape. If he really didn't pay any reward, he would owe Dudley a favor.
Dudley couldn't accept owing Snape a favor, and he believed the Potters wouldn't accept it either, so the payment still had to be made.
Secondly, making Snape younger was also to gain access to the potion knowledge in his mind, and to cater to the idea of the Hogwarts founder's blessing of miracles.
Old Dumbledore is about to announce to the wizarding world that the blessing left by the founders of Hogwarts has been triggered, rewarding those who have contributed to Hogwarts.
If Snape remains unchanged and has no family members who have returned from the dead, then when the next school year begins, Snape will inevitably be gossiped about behind his back by some students and even their parents, who will say that Snape's contributions to Hogwarts have not been appreciated by the founders.
If we set aside his past instances of verbally abusing and mildly physically punishing students, Snape's teaching skills and achievements were quite good.
It's really unreasonable that such a professor didn't receive the recognition of the founder's spirit or get a reward.
As for taking the knowledge from Snape's memories, does that mean Dudley owes Snape another favor?
This can be clearly stated: it doesn't count!
Because Dudley will later write down all the magical knowledge in his mind that has no serious consequences or side effects, categorized by type, and add his own insights, storing it all in the Hogwarts Library.
At that time, all teachers and students of Hogwarts will be able to go and look it up.
This is a public matter that can benefit everyone.
Snape gave far less than he received in return, so Dudley cannot be considered to owe him a favor.
Dudley obtained the list of those to be resurrected, which made the Hogwarts professors younger and more energetic. The original plan was to take the three professors to various graveyards of the dead and quickly complete the resurrection task.
But Keda suddenly remembered someone, a hero he had mentioned to Old Deng long ago.
A hero who once had a sudden change of heart and thwarted Voldemort's Horcrux hiding plan; a hero who was forgotten by the world and his family, and almost forgotten by Dudley.
Regulus Black!
Long before Dudley and Harry enrolled, in Dudley's bedroom at No. 4 Privet Drive, Dudley revealed clues about various Horcruxes to Dumbledore, urging him to quickly collect them, especially the Horcruxes from the founder's legacy.
During their conversation, the two mentioned how Regulus risked his life to retrieve Voldemort's Slytherin locket from a seaside cave, entrusting it to Kreacher, the Black family's house-elf, for safekeeping, only to perish in the Infernal Lake within the seaside cave.
At the time, Dali also told Old Deng that he would take some time to go to the seaside cave and retrieve Regulus's body.
He was thinking of reviving Regulus when he had the ability to do so in the future.
Later, due to a series of events, he was unable to go and gradually forgot about it.
After all, Dudley only admired Regulus, and was not related to him in any way.
Old Deng had clearly forgotten about it as well.
He hadn't been as busy as he had in decades... no, perhaps his entire life. In the midst of his busyness, it was perfectly normal for him to forget some details he wasn't used to paying attention to.
Dudley thought of this when he was making a video call to Sirius to ask if Sirius had any family members he wanted to resurrect.
Sirius casually told Dudley that he didn't want to resurrect any of his family members, lest he get caught up in the unpleasantness of ideological differences.
At that time, Dali immediately thought of Regulus.
Judging from Sirius's reaction, he was clearly unaware of Regulus's heroic deeds.
