Accompanied by Elvis Heller's screams, the necklace was incinerated into a blood-like, black, viscous liquid, and was destroyed along with his soul.
"Albus, should Elvis Heller's main body's soul be dealt with too?"
"Just in case, let's keep it for now."
Dumbledore waved his sleeve, and the wall trapping Gemma Farley flowed again, returning to its original state.
"Miss Farley, the Horcrux has been destroyed. Do you feel any better mentally?"
Gemma Farley's pale face regained a hint of color, and her corroded soul was nourished, but due to the severe injuries to her body, she could only lean weakly against the wall.
"Headmaster Dumbledore, I'm so sorry I did dangerous wrong things—"
Dumbledore smiled, his expression gentle, "No need to apologize, because it's not your fault."
He knew that although Gemma Farley had a cold and arrogant personality and a somewhat disdainful attitude towards other Wizards, she never targeted others in words or actions, and no one in her family had ever become a Death Eater.
"But—"
"Harry Potter was not harmed, you don't need to blame yourself for this. The culprit has been eliminated."
Dumbledore comforted Gemma Farley, and then expressed his apologies to her.
"Miss Farley, the information you just heard is too dangerous and needs to be kept secret, so I must use a Memory Charm to make you forget all of this. I hope you can understand my actions."
Gemma Farley gave a bitter smile, "I understand, Headmaster Dumbledore. When I heard about You-Know-Who, I thought of it. In fact,
I also want to forget these nightmarish experiences."
"I'm sorry, child. If you wish, when all this is over, I will let you remember everything again."
Gemma Farley shook her head, refusing, "I'd rather not remember anything, because it's too terrifying, but—"
She turned to look at Karl, "Could you let me remember Mr. Orolin?"
Dumbledore caught the change in Gemma Farley's eyes and suddenly felt that Minerva's worries were very reasonable. She might really be surrounded by a group of young Witches trying to curry favor with him in the future.
After all, Karl is exceptionally talented, incredibly powerful, and quite handsome.
To use his own words, his amiable appearance looked solemn and dignified, making him likable to both old and young.
Hmm... Is that how he would put it?
Dumbledore looked at Karl, wanting to see his opinion, and then saw Karl crossing his arms over his chest, clearly disagreeing.
Gemma Farley's face showed disappointment, and she gave Karl a deep look.
"Alright then, Principal, please help me forget all of this."
Dumbledore took out his wand, his expression incredibly serious, and clearly enunciated the spell, "Obliviate!"
Karl felt that Dumbledore at this moment was even more focused than when he was in combat.
Perhaps it didn't matter how the enemy died, but performing a Memory Charm on a student absolutely could not go wrong.
Under the dual effect of the spell and her injuries, Gemma Farley's body went limp and she fainted.
Dumbledore waved his wand, making her float in the air, preparing to take her to the infirmary for Madam Pomfrey to treat her injuries.
"Jiji?"
Fire Treasure flew in front of Karl, pointed at Gemma Farley, and then struck a pose flexing its bicep.
"Oh! Right! Albus, you can let Fire Treasure treat her first!"
It was embarrassing to admit, but ever since Karl got Fire Treasure, he hadn't let it treat anyone. The only time he remembered it being useful, Nina had stolen the show.
In fact, compared to playing with fire, healing and treating injuries were the true abilities of the Peaceful Fire.
Dumbledore's eyes widened in surprise. How could fire heal? Could it also shed tears like Fawkes?
"Yiya!"
Fire Treasure, full of fighting spirit, flew above Gemma Farley and began to emit a warm, golden glow.
As wisps of emerald green light, symbolizing vitality, entered Gemma Farley's body, her expression, which had been twisted with pain, returned to calmness.
"This is truly incredible!"
Dumbledore sighed with emotion. As expected of a fire spirit, as magical as the Phoenix Fawkes.
"Karl, why didn't you want Gemma Farley to remember you just now?"
Karl looked at him strangely, "Does that even need a reason? Her injuries were caused by me!"
"Albus, do you think she wants to remember me because she wants to find an opportunity for revenge?"
Dumbledore: (..)
Huh? Can it be understood that way?
Good, good, good! You are truly a genius!
He now took back his previous thoughts; Minerva's worries were completely self-indulgent and made no sense at all.
And he wants a group of young Witches to surround him and try to curry favor? Having even one would be good enough!
"Albus, what kind of look is that?"
"Nothing! It's just you—"
Dumbledore hesitated, then patted Karl on the shoulder, "Never mind, it's nothing. Thank you, Fire Treasure."
Looking at his departing back, Karl was a bit puzzled.
"What does he mean by that?"
"Jiji"
Fire Treasure raised two fiery question marks, indicating that he didn't know either.
