Ian was slightly stunned.
He realized the situation might be quite dire.
"It's not looking good, Ian. The remnants of the Black Demon King's soul are unusually active in his scar. I've sensed a terrifying dark power, but I'm unsure what this power will ultimately lead to."
"However, there is one thing I can be certain of, Voldemort's remnant soul is far more active than we imagined. It is trying to corrode Harry's consciousness at all costs."
Nicolas Flamel stood up, walked to the bedside, his tone carrying a bit of sigh.
"I remember you said that for Voldemort to revive, he must sacrifice someone other than Harry as a price, and also carry out an extremely complex ritual."
"Before such an event occurs, I suppose Harry shouldn't have major issues?" Ian frowned upon hearing this and spoke his judgment in a low voice.
This was actually knowledge Nicolas Flamel had previously instilled in him.
However.
At this moment, Nicolas Flamel shook his head.
"This is not revival, child, but a frightening fusion, a fusion at any cost, this is an unexpected situation, as if the Black Demon King is even willing to give up his own existence, to merge with Harry and become a new entity." The expression on this alchemy master's face became somewhat complex.
"I have to say, he might really be mad to the point of losing all reason. You know, if the fusion is completed, neither Harry nor that person will be their original selves."
Nicolas Flamel's tone clearly carried intense confusion.
This is very normal.
After all, based on his understanding of Voldemort, Voldemort would definitely not make such a choice, and now, the least likely situation is actually happening.
"Perhaps it's not his intention, but a choice he has to make?" Ian's mind raced, he thought of Harry's whispers during his anomaly.
"It is roaring... it is angry..."
These were words when Harry's eyes turned into vertical pupils.
It must have some significance.
"What do you mean?" After hearing Ian's speculation, Nicolas Flamel was momentarily stunned, then looked at Ian with a slightly uncertain gaze.
"Earlier, Harry told me some things." Ian recounted the situation he recalled to Nicolas Flamel, whose expression grew more solemn upon hearing it.
"What is that guy afraid of?" From Ian's description, he summarized an accurate judgment that made his heart churn a bit.
This keen-sensed alchemy master had already realized a problem, perhaps, the anomaly Harry Potter was encountering now, and the terrifying thing the unbridled Black Demon King encountered are related.
Yet a remnant soul.
A Soul Artifact.
What can they be afraid of?
"I need to study it closely." Turning around, Nicolas Flamel took out a device, and after pressing it, a phantom bookshelf floated in the ward.
He searched for books on it.
"This requires time... The troublesome thing is that Dumbledore is not here with us, I cannot contact him directly, and he hasn't responded to the messages I've sent him either."
Nicolas Flamel's tone was filled with worry.
Clearly.
Hogwarts is really vulnerable right now.
"And there's a diary, it's also a Soul Artifact, Malfoy brought it to the school, now the diary is missing." Ian clearly knows the turbulent undercurrents beneath Hogwarts' calm surface currently.
He did not conceal this.
This somewhat frightening news immediately made Nicolas Flamel's face show even more anxiety.
"This isn't the good news I wanted to hear... perhaps you should monitor your uncle, he has visited Harry more than ten times and said some peculiar things."
Nicolas Flamel took a book from the phantom shelf, and once in his hands, it became tangible, flipping through it, he also reminded Ian.
"What did he say?"
Ian asked curiously.
He wasn't particularly suspicious of Snape.
"I am over six hundred years old, you can't expect my memory to be very good; anyway, your uncle's gaze is also very strange, I feel he seems concerned about the remnant soul inside Harry."
"Although I really don't want to suspect him, we cannot ignore what kind of identity he once had." Nicolas Flamel clearly didn't have the same trust in Snape as Dumbledore does.
This is understandable.
After all, Uncle Snape's past indeed has a tarnished record.
Thinking about it, if someone were to tell me someday that Hannibal has converted to vegetarianism, Ian feels he probably wouldn't choose to believe it either.
"I will do my best to find that diary." Ian could only change the subject, Nicolas Flamel neither agreed nor disagreed, he was about to say something when.
"The patient needs quiet rest!" Madam Pomfrey must have heard movement inside the ward, very dissatisfied she opened the door and came in, interrupting their conversation.
"Allowing one person to stay here is already my biggest compromise to Dumbledore, Mr. Prince, your time visiting friends has ended."
Madam Pomfrey apparently finished the little sweet treats Ian had brought, still having traces of cream on her mouth, her move to kick them out right after taking full advantage made the little wizard rather helpless.
