Hogsmeade Village, the Shrieking Shack.

While Ron and the other three were resting and sleeping, Aaron brought Abei's Apparition here.

"It's amazing that you thought of meeting here."

"There's nothing I can do." Sitting on a dilapidated wooden bed Thought Form shrugged. "With our abilities Archmage mages, we can't Apparition at Hogwarts. After I took Hermione to Hagrid's hut, I saw the Whomping Willow and remembered that there was such a secret passage in the school."

"Just get them to their destination; it's not time for the Divine Thunder Hall to be exposed yet."

"But she's probably already realized something's wrong," the Thought Form said playfully. "She's always been very clever, hasn't she?"

"It's alright," Aaron said dismissively. "At most, she's just suspicious right now. By the time she truly discovers the truth, we'll be fearless in the face of any challenge."

"That's true." The Thought Form nodded in agreement.

Aaron found a sofa that wasn't too dirty and sat down, then eagerly opened the task panel.

[Be a responsible and dedicated Prefect (from now until the end of this semester);]

The reward for completing the task is 1200 Magic Points; there is no penalty for failure. [Accepted]

[Change the Prophecy, change the fate of the dying;]

The reward for completing the task is 1000 Magic Points; there is no penalty for failing the task. [Completed]

"Sir, claim the reward for the first task."

Immediately, right away.

"Okay, host."

"Then... buy the Horse Talisman."

"No problem at all, host."

Aaron's thousand Magic Points were wiped out in an instant before he could even enjoy them, but Aaron didn't feel any heartache at all.

Instead, looking at the octagonal talisman with a light blue horse head pattern on his hand, he couldn't help but grin from ear to ear.

The Dog Talisman granted him immortality, making him virtually unkillable, even Death God couldn't touch him.

However, immortality does not mean that one is immune to injury, pain, poisoning, curses, illnesses, or other negative effects.

The Horse Talisman can make up for this shortcoming. Its healing power can remove all abnormal effects caused by external forces, and heal all illnesses and injuries. Even missing limbs can be restored immediately.

It can be said that the complete version of "Immortal and Undying" is achieved by combining the Dog Talisman's Death God and the Horse Talisman's Healing Power.

Moreover, the power of the Horse Talisman can not only affect the human body, but also restore damaged objects to their most perfect state.

"Absorb!" Aaron exclaimed, unable to contain his excitement.

As soon as he finished speaking, the blue horse head pattern on the talisman gradually turned gray, and the same horse head pattern flashed and disappeared in Aaron's pupils.

The healing power swept over his entire body, and his injuries Reparo in the blink of an eye, greatly improving his overall condition.

"Not bad, I feel great now." Aaron crushed the talisman into powder. "It's a pity it can't restore magic power, otherwise it would be perfect."

"If you could restore your magic power, it wouldn't cost this much." The Thought Form shook its head with a smile, then reminded, "Although your ability to save your life has been enhanced, you still can't get carried away."

"Don't worry, I understand this principle. No matter what, strength is what matters." Aaron said very seriously. Immortality may seem like an unsolvable ability, but it does not mean invincibility.

He's already seen Death God tonight; who knows if there are any other gods in the Magic World?

They may not be able to kill themselves, but they have at least ten thousand ways to destroy themselves: sealing, dismembering, devouring, enslaving, and so on. All of these methods can pose a threat to them.

Therefore, keeping a low profile is the key to success; unless you are invincible, you should still play it safe.

"Let's get back to the main point!" the Thought Form said. "After leaving, I thought about it carefully."

Everything that happened tonight wasn't just wrong, it was extremely wrong.

"I feel the same way. There are just too many arrangements." Aaron's smile gradually faded. "It feels like I've been arranged for this."

"Barty Crouch Jr. appeared and prevented us from leaving in time, and then we had to face Voldemort." The Thought Form continued, "The secrets and knowledge of the Gaius family greatly aroused the Dark Lord's interest in us, and if we didn't want to be prisoners and experimental subjects, we had no choice but to fight to the death."

They exposed many of their trump cards: Magic Array, Abei, Mind Space, dragon transformation, and my clone... The twin brothers look impressive, but they can't stand up to scrutiny. With some investigation, they'll find out that my identity is fake.

But the more we reveal, the more interested Voldemort becomes in us; the mere fact that it involves the secret of becoming a god is enough to make him pay attention to us.

"But our clan relies on nothing more than two words: talent." Aaron sighed. "This is the legacy of our ancestors, but he won't believe it, much less accept it."

Moreover, in a sense, we've already torn off all pretense tonight, and our threat to him will skyrocket, second only to Dumbledore.

Once he's dealt with Dumbledore, we'll naturally become his next target.

"What's even more interesting is the timing of the Phoenix Society's appearance," the Thought Form sneered. "Just when my appearance eased the tensions between the two sides and Voldemort was about to sign a one-year ceasefire agreement, they showed up."

"Tell me, how could such a thing happen? The odds are even smaller than winning the lottery!"

"Who says otherwise? Several times when I tried to climb out of the vortex, I was inexplicably pushed back down by a black hand."

"They forced us to stand on the opposite side of Voldemort, not even giving us a chance to beg for peace." Aaron chuckled. "Originally, I only had some suspicions, but our Professor Lupin actually knew that the Gaius family had produced God of Magic!"

I don't recall ever telling him any family secrets, so how did he know?

"Two possibilities." The Thought Form held up two fingers. "First, he is investigating the Gaius family just like Voldemort, but this can be basically ruled out."

Remus John Lupin is Werewolf, and I'm not being racist, but Werewolf don't have Voldemort's resources, so it's absolutely impossible for him to find out Gaius's secret.

Then there's only one other possibility: nothing that happened within the Department of Mysteries escaped their notice; that's the only explanation.

Logically speaking, Professor Snape should have informed the Phoenix Society long ago, as Harry and the rest of us have placed most of our hopes on the Order of the Phoenix Society's support.

But they didn't come earlier or later; they just happened to arrive right when we signed the truce agreement.

"You're absolutely right." Aaron nodded in deep agreement. "And then there was Professor Snape's attitude towards us tonight. His expression was complicated, he seemed to want to say something but hesitated, and there was a hint of guilt in his eyes. He really knew what was going on."

"Albus Dumbledore," the Thought Form grumbled, both angry and helpless. "That old bastard deserves to die!"

"Whether he deserves to die or not, he's already achieved his goal." Aaron shrugged. "We've all been dragged down by him, and there are only two ways to get back to shore."

It's either get on board, the Order of the Phoenix Society's pirate ship, or you can do it yourself; getting on board is easier.

No matter which path we choose, Voldemort and his Death Eater are an obstacle we must overcome.

"Heh!" The Thought Form chuckled self-deprecatingly. "The Dark Lord is pathetic. He thought he was on the first level, that he had outmaneuvered Harry Potter to obtain the Prophecy, and that he had dragged us into his trap in the process."

We were ridiculous; we thought we were on the fifth level and had revealed most of our cards, but we didn't even have enough time to develop.

Only Dumbledore, that old codger, actually stood in the atmosphere. Voldemort could only scheme against Harry Potter; he directly schemed against us.

He won this round brilliantly, not only pushing us to the opposite side of Voldemort, but also letting the entire Magic World know that Voldemort was making a comeback. Furthermore, he made Harry Potter determined to carry out the Prophecy; he achieved both his strategic and political objectives.

"Most importantly, he didn't suffer any losses." Aaron cursed through gritted teeth, "Sirius Black Black, who should have died, was pulled back from the brink of death by me."

In other words, the Phoenix Society suffered no casualties tonight, but several Death Eater were captured.

"What a cunning old fox! I've learned my lesson today. It's true what they say, when good people start to insult others, bad people have nothing to do with it."

I thought he'd only been dabbling in things for the past few years, but I never expected him to make such a big splash.

"We're outmatched in skill, what can we do?" The Thought Form smiled bitterly. "Besides, in a sense, this is all speculation. We have no evidence whatsoever, and we've even incurred a favor from the Phoenix Society."

"There is still evidence." Aaron took out the glass sphere containing Sirius Black's Soul Stone. "I can't be sure about other things, but he definitely knew about it."

In short, this matter cannot be left unresolved.

"We can't just let it go like this. We can only take a long-term view," Thought Form comforted Yu.

Hearing this, Aaron took a deep breath and gradually calmed down. "Since we can't get out of this mess, we have to find a way to get some benefits!"

What do you want to do?

Aaron smiled without saying a word and tossed the glass ball in his hand.

"This isn't quite right!" The Thought Form seemed to have misunderstood the main body's thoughts, and its expression became particularly unnatural. "I'm not against it, but we're supposed to be respectable people, digging up graves and stuff... isn't that inappropriate?"

"This is a necessary bargaining chip," Aaron said seriously. "A Sirius Black who is just Soul Stone is at most Ghost of Hogwarts, and has almost no value."

But a living Sirius Black is a completely different story. He's the sole heir to the Pure-blood families Black family family, the godfather of Harry Potter, a key member of the Order of the Phoenix Society, Remus Lupin's closest friend...

"Wait, wait, stop." The Thought Form interrupted Yu, "I know all that you're saying, you definitely didn't do the dirty work of digging up graves yourself, right!"

"Uh..." Aaron chuckled, "Don't worry about the details, what you did is no different from what I did."

"The difference is huge, isn't it?" The Thought Form looked aggrieved and counted on her fingers, saying, "Homework, school exams, bullet making, practicing Magic Array, strategizing, and so on. Although there are more of these tasks, I can still handle them."

"To dig up graves and steal corpses, that's asking too much of anyone."

"To brace or not to brace?"

"Damn it!" The Thought Form said with a look of grief and indignation, "Since the original body has made its decision, I'm afraid I can't say no!"

"You don't need to do it yourself." Aaron smiled awkwardly. "The Shadow Ninja can handle this job perfectly well, but they might not be good at the cleanup."

I need your supervision, and also to get an insurance policy in place so that no one can find out that Sirius Black's body has been stolen.

However, be careful, you need to be quick, otherwise it will be difficult to handle once the body decomposes.

"I understand." The Thought Form's expression improved considerably. "However, Sirius Black was under the Killing Curse after all. It's not as simple as stuffing his Soul Stone into his body to revive him. In fact, his body might even affect the state of his Soul Stone."

"Let's get the body first. As for the rest... we'll figure it out later!"

If it weren't for what happened tonight, I might have been able to use the Horse Talisman to heal him.

"Now I'm scared. We absolutely can't reveal our healing abilities, otherwise that old geezer might plot something against us."

Thought Form:...

"That makes sense; the easier something is to obtain, the less we appreciate it."

The next day.

Aaron left the dormitory early in the morning, as if nothing had happened last night.

He changed into a brand new set of clothes and brought Aaron, who had also changed into a new set of clothes, to the Great Hall.

The man and the dragon seemed to be extremely hungry, and they kept eating heartily until they saw Professor Snape sit down in the chair, at which point they both stopped.

Aaron gave Professor Snape a smile, then walked over.

"Professor, I have some questions that need to be answered."

"I refuse to answer any questions during mealtimes," Snape said calmly.

"It's alright, I can wait." Aaron said bluntly, "Professor Snape, you know me, you should know what I'm going to ask."

There were just too many coincidences last night. Anyone with a brain could see the problem. Now I just want the truth. You'll grant me this small wish, right?

Upon hearing this, Snape put down his knife and fork, his voice tinged with helplessness, "Do you really have to ask me? Can't you ask someone else?"

"What are you saying?" Aaron rolled his eyes, speechless. "Who else can I ask but you?"

Snape paused, as if that were indeed the case.

Sirius Black is dead, Moody and Tonks are hospitalized, Lupin is drowning his sorrows over his friend's death, Kingsley is cleaning up the mess at the Ministry of Magic, and as for Dumbledore... well, he's a thick-skinned, cunning old fox.

Damn it! I should have kept quiet and waited until things calmed down.

He hadn't expected Aaron to arrive so quickly; the others were still enjoying themselves at the Phoenix Society headquarters!

Aaron seemed to sense his mood and sighed softly, "Professor, you should know that you can't escape it."

Unless you resign right now, I can guarantee your life at Hogwarts will be very exciting.

"Of course, even if you resign, it won't make a difference. If I'm determined to find someone, it won't be difficult."

Snape's lips twitched slightly. "I understand. Give me some time to think about it."

"Thank you." Aaron breathed a slight sigh of relief. "Professor, I know this is a bit difficult for you, but you must understand your students' situation!"

I was living a perfectly good life when I unwittingly fell into this pit, and I can't even climb out.

"Who the hell did I offend?!"
