Dumbledore's Gift

Does it not exist?

Beyond life and death?

Isn't that Regulus?!

To everyone's surprise, Sirius wasn't angry because he also thought Ron was right.

Regulus is also Dumbledore as a being with a very long lifespan.

It's important to know that wizards are actually the longest-living humanoid beings in the Wizarding World, as long as they maintain a cheerful disposition.

Even vampires in the Muggle world don't live as long as wizards.

In other words, as long as you understand the psychology that Lily mentioned and maintain mental health, it's more effective than any magic pill!

If that's the case, then, "What emotion does Dumbledore and Regulus absorb?"

"You once said that he would live a long life," Sirius couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, Sirius, I understand what you mean."

"Regulus is different; his definition of existence and non-existence is different."

"Firstly, he possesses something that can be called life."

"And there are no Poltergeist, Dementors, or even Boggart."

"Secondly, although Regulus is not as afraid of sunlight as ordinary Inferi, a powerful Fire-Making Spell can destroy him."

"Instead of being truly destroyed, wizards can only invent various spells to drive them away, using positive emotions to prevent them from causing negative emotions in the victims."

Thirdly, Regulus cannot fly.

"It is not that existence can fly," Dumbledore said earnestly.

"What about his lifespan?" Sirius asked, puzzled.

"He can only be described as having transformed into another kind of life, the ideal life of the creator of Dark Magic, the Inferi —a life that does not need to eat, is immortal, and can draw power from the darkness."

"Just like the Phoenix, a new kind, only without the Phoenix's indestructible immortality," Dumbledore remarked.

He even had a thought: should he train Regulus?

According to his new plan, Harry and Tom the Tom, who are immortal thanks to their Horcrux, can keep each other in check.

But the triangle is the most stable structure, and Regulus is a blank sheet of paper that he can paint on at will, coloring it with his own style. A wizard who truly inherits his ideas.

Dumbledore breath. He had to admit, he was tempted. He was intrigued by Regulus's existence!

"Doesn't that mean we don't even need the Philosopher's Stone anymore?!"

"I said, I was just saying—"

"Should we sell our spots in that cave?"

"Think about it, if we put a dying wizard in there, and he's lucky enough to become like Regulus, we'll make a lot more money."

"If we fail, accuse us of fraud."

"But we also have Dumbledore and Regulus himself as evidence!"

"Moreover, besides that small island, there are other traps set by Voldemort in the cave."

"Even if someone tries to bypass us, they don't have Kreacher!"

"Now, Voldemort's magical traps have become our natural safe haven!" Ron suddenly said.

His ideas were so unconventional that everyone present was stunned, and Ron was able to finish his long speech without being interrupted.

In a corner unnoticed by everyone, the Elder Wand flashed a faint light.

But Bleach's will did not carry over Dumbledore's words; He perceived that the immortal life was not that of a wizard, and that it was fragile.

In a long and seemingly endless life, the weaknesses of that life form, which are so weak as to be negligible, will be magnified to an unimaginable degree.

"I said, even at the height of our Malfoy family's power, we wouldn't dare to sell such a business."

"And is it really something that can be copied?" Draco couldn't help but complain.

"This is dangerous. If you really do this, I have no choice but to make Unbreakable Vow to you—for my brother's safety," Sirius said solemnly.

Ron then lowered his eyes, which had turned to show signs of a dollar sign.

"Ron, that place belongs to Voldemort. What if something happens to it?" Harry couldn't help but complain.

However, unlike Draco and Sirius, he had already accepted Ryan's viewpoint—magic is a miracle—after being subtly influenced by Ryan.

In his view, Ron's words were indeed possible, but not now.

That must have been after Voldemort's death; after all, Nicolas Flamel wasn't immortal either.

"This is forbidden territory for wizards, children."

Those who play with life will be played with by life.

"The existence of Regulus is a miracle, just as wizards cannot gain immortality through the Phoenix," Dumbledore said.

He sensed Harry's thoughts from his words.

Dumbledore believed that magic should be restrained, and that evil magic like Horcrux, which pursued immortality, should not be studied or involved in.

This is actually related to their family as well. The inexplicable relationship between Dumbledore and the Phoenix actually symbolizes the pursuit of immortality by generations of Dumbledore.

Albus Dumbledore himself felt that this was a forbidden zone that should not be touched.

And it didn't end well. Perhaps this is another reason why he didn't intend to continue the bloodline.

The forbidden bloodline must not be passed down through him.

A faint light flashed across the Elder Wand.

"Alright, kids, it's Harry's birthday," Lupin, who had been ignoring everything and just eating, suddenly said.

For some reason, perhaps it was his Werewolf instincts, but he felt that Dumbledore had acted a little strangely just now.

He believed that this dangerous topic, which made Dumbledore uneasy, should perhaps be put aside.

"I almost forgot, Harry, this is your birthday present." Dumbledore seemed absentminded as he raised his wand again, twirled it in the air, and a thing that looked like a silver lighter appeared in front of Harry.

"What is this?" Ron asked curiously.

"This is one of my little inventions— Deluminator."

"With a flick of the wrist, it can suck up all the lights in a place and then turn them back on," Dumbledore said casually.

"A small invention?"

"This invention, and the magical technology it contains, is something I have never seen before," Sirius said solemnly, looking at the Deluminator.

"Um, Professor Dumbledore?" Harry suddenly stammered.

"How?"

"You can just say it," Dumbledore said with a smile.

"I'd like to give him to Regulus, is that alright?" Harry asked after a moment's hesitation.

"No, this is your gift." Sirius Black said immediately before Dumbledore reply.

"Harry, this is a gift from me to you. You can use it as you see fit."

"However, I think what you value is its function—to absorb light sources anytime, anywhere."

"But my suggestion is that you learn it yourself—yes, I'm not wrong, it's Magic Book in another sense."

"After you learn it, teach Sirius that spell, or give it directly to Regulus," Dumbledore said meaningfully.
