Chapter 256: Under the Imperius Curse?!!

Nicolas Flamel's thought shocked Perenelle. She covered her mouth in surprise.

"God, how could you have such a thought? You know I'm over six hundred years old!"

"……… It's not for you to give birth, I plan to adopt an heir.

You say if we adopted the second child of the Potter family, that is Harry Potter's twin brother Darren Potter.

Wouldn't we be able to enjoy the fun of raising a child again?"

Nicolas Flamel asked excitedly.

He knew Perenelle liked children very much. The children in the family back then, Perenelle wanted to hold and raise them all.

But those children always had impure motives; they understood many things at a young age.

Small as they were, they had already begun to calculate, wanting them to hand over the Sorcerer's Stone.

Nicolas Flamel needed the Sorcerer's Stone, so he naturally couldn't hand it over.

But they were his descendants after all, so he was willing to teach them the craftsmanship of making the Sorcerer's Stone.

But none of them could learn it, and they even suspected that what he gave was fake. Such an experience made Nicolas Flamel very angry.

So he closed his manor and never let these people come to find him again.

After closing for about a few decades, when he was no longer angry and appeared in the wizarding world again, he suddenly found that the family was gone.

The Flamel family disappeared just like that.

In just a few decades, the Flamel family spent all their money, wandered around, and the last family member even made friends carelessly and died in the hands of a traitor.

Nicolas Flamel avenged them.

But the days that followed became more and more bland.

At that time, he was only three or four hundred years old, and he had already quietly begun to regret. Why did he live so long?

He gradually lost his passion.

Only Perenelle remained in his life.

Perenelle was even more desperate. For a time, she even wanted to stop using the Sorcerer's Stone.

Until he said he wanted to live on, Perenelle chose to wait for him to be exhausted himself.

After the Sorcerer's Stone lost its effect, he thought about researching other things to extend his life; this wasn't too difficult for him.

However, when he saw Perenelle's expression of relief, he finally gave up.

Later, Dumbledore came and borrowed his Sorcerer's Stone, and also destroyed the Sorcerer's Stone.

He couldn't raise any interest, until he heard Dumbledore say Darren said he didn't like immortality, which aroused his competitive spirit.

Who knew that after this trip, he had another thought. He wanted an heir.

"Darren Potter? Is that the child who said he didn't like immortality?"

Perenelle asked curiously.

She had heard Nicolas Flamel talk about this child, especially remembering his angry expression when he mentioned the child.

That expression could be a joke for her for a year.

It was just unexpected, how could Nicolas suddenly let Darren be their heir?

"You wouldn't have forgotten that we are going to face death together, right? I can't stand these days anymore!"

Perenelle said vigilantly.

She didn't want to be immortal anymore. There was nothing in this world that made her care; what was the point of living?

These years she was just accompanying Nicolas Flamel; if he made something for immortality again, then she would go down first!

"No, no, no, I just thought, after we stop using the Sorcerer's Stone, we will have to die naturally in a few years, why don't we cultivate an heir?

You look, other people have bad intentions; after staying with us for a long time, they will become greedy and disgusting.

But Darren is different. He is simple-minded, has good character, and he has no parents, and he doesn't even have the inheritance rights of the Potter family.

Let Dumbledore decide to adopt him to us, adding the Flamel surname in the middle.

It doesn't need him to change the Potter surname; the portraits of the Potter family can't say anything either.

Then we will teach him everything we have learned in our lives. I heard that child is a genius; he might be very suitable for learning alchemy.

Even if he isn't suitable, he can memorize all our books, and sooner or later he can find a perfect heir.

And in these last few years, we can also enjoy the fun of taking care of a child, what do you think?"

Nicolas Flamel said excitedly.

He also told Perenelle what happened in Darren's spiritual world. Although it gave Perenelle a fright and she blamed his rashness.

But it did indeed arouse Perenelle's expectation. It wasn't impossible.

She hadn't seen a young child for over a hundred years.

Because those children would always become greedy, making her very uncomfortable, so she also avoided raising children again.

But this child, according to what Nicolas said, was very kind and simple, so perhaps it could really make her last few years pass happily.

So she became anxious. She pushed Nicolas Flamel.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and write to Dumbledore, let him ask the portraits of the Potter family, and whether that child himself is willing or not!"

Nicolas Flamel nodded hurriedly.

He took out letter paper and wrote a lot of words on the paper with great speed.

Then with a flick of his wand, the letter paper appeared directly on the desk in Hogwarts Headmaster's office.

"Just like this is not enough, we still need to go find Darren, one is to let you have more contact with him, to see if he is suitable or not.

Although I think it's impossible not to be suitable, as soon as you see that child, you will feel very happy, and the dark thoughts accumulated over these hundreds of years will be gone.

Second is to let that child recognize us, perhaps we should read more books, to see what kind of scene can make a child like an elder!"

Nicolas Flamel said excitedly.

Although Perenelle felt he was exaggerating, a strong expectation also welled up in her heart.

Perhaps, in the last few years, she could really spend them very happily…

Hogwarts. Headmaster's office.

Dumbledore looked at Nicolas Flamel's letter in astonishment. His old friend actually wanted to adopt Darren?

He remembered Nicolas had once said that he hated children the most. But what was Nicolas saying now?

He actually praised children as very simple creatures in the world.

Ha, he remembered that a while ago, Nicolas said children were the most annoying, and he and his wife hadn't let children into their house for hundreds of years.

Was his old friend under the Imperius Curse?
