Chapter 305 Revenge Scene! Recover Memories! Increase the Dosage!
Also because Eckeris's surname is a pure Muggle surname.
Many British surnames are derived from the professions of their ancestors, and Ecclesia's surname 'Hunter' means hunter.
This surname is simple and unadorned, utterly ordinary, and has absolutely no extraordinary meaning; it could never be the surname of a wizarding family.
Based on all the information above, even without using Legilimency to read Ecclesia's memories, Dudley could still analyze the secrets of Ecclesia's family quite accurately.
It's simply that a member of the Black family in a certain generation fell in love with a Muggle whose ancestors were hunters, and was therefore expelled from the Black family and kicked out.
She eventually left the UK and started a new family.
Then, after countless generations, there is now a descendant named Eckeris.
As for Eckeris's so-called family mission, it's easy to guess.
Ecclesia took a huge risk from the start by leveraging Voldemort's influence, which must have been for a very ambitious purpose, and what she wanted to do was not acceptable to the white wizarding camp in the British magical community.
In addition, the look that Eckeris gave Sirius earlier hinted at ruthlessness and murderous intent.
A comprehensive analysis reveals that it's a revenge plot involving murder to seize family property and the desire to replace the main branch with a branch.
The Black family is a long-established pure-blood family in the British wizarding world. If it weren't for Sirius's 'rebellion' and Regulus's sacrifice, those corrupt pure-blood forces and two-faced Death Eaters might not have given the Malfoy family a chance to take the lead.
Eckeris wanted to come to the British magical world as a half-blood wizard from a foreign branch, to seize the family fortune and status of such an old pure-blood family.
Without strong power and influence, it's wishful thinking and absolutely impossible to achieve.
Even if Ecclesia offered more than she could, Dumbledore would never help her in such a situation.
Therefore, from a strategic point of view, Ecclesia's decision to side with Voldemort was not wrong at all; on the contrary, it could be said that it was a necessary step.
However, man proposes, God disposes.
Although Ecclesia was cunning, resourceful, and lucky enough to encounter Voldemort's main spirit and make contact with him, taking that first step, she was unlucky enough to run into Dudley, who blocked her path from there.
Now he's tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead, suffering a double loss, poisoned, covered in wounds, and in a daze...
Reflection over, back to reality.
Dudley, leading Harry, kept a close watch on Snape and Ecclesia while he pondered the situation, using his X-ray vision.
His gaze pierced through the wall and saw Snape pushing Ecclesia into the professor's office, which Ecclesia hadn't been to in a long time.
Then I saw Ecclesias perk up, wave her wand, and control her magical wheelchair to drive Snape out of her office.
Then, he closed the door, rummaged through his suitcase, deactivated the hiding spell, took the memory bottle out of the hidden compartment of the suitcase, and carefully stuffed all the memory threads stored in the memory bottle back into his head.
Dudley uses his X-ray vision to see through the walls and get a clear view of the office.
He saw that after Eckeris regained her memories, a look of understanding and contemplation appeared on her face.
After a short pause, Eckeris could no longer withstand the drowsiness emanating from her soul. She reluctantly put the empty memory bottle back in its place, composed herself and her expression, waved her wand, and reopened the office door.
This time, she did not extract or store any of her memories.
Since she's no longer conspicuous at Hogwarts, it's best to keep all her memories in her head to avoid causing trouble or affecting her thinking.
Standing outside the door, Snape, whose face appeared calm but was actually somewhat worried, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the door open and Ecclesia remained in the same state, with nothing happening.
Then, reluctantly waving his wand, he took control of the magical wheelchair, using magic to push Eckeris out of the office and then head to the special care ward of the school hospital.
Dudley led Harry to continue the pursuit until they saw Snape and Erskine return to the intensive care unit.
Voldemort's main spirit remained dormant within Ecclesia's womb, showing no signs of rebellion, and everything proceeded smoothly.
Dumbledore quietly appeared beside Dudley and Harry, and like Dudley, gazed in the direction of the special care ward.
He didn't have X-ray vision, but he could connect his eyes to Pippi's field of vision and still see what was happening in the ward.
"It seems that Voldemort's main spirit hasn't caused us any trouble."
Dumbledore activated the 'Hear-blocking' spell and said to Dudley.
"But that woman, Eckeris, might be trying to cause us trouble."
Dudley replied, "To avoid any unexpected situations, have Snape increase the potion dosage! Get Ecclesia into a quiet slumber sooner, so she won't cause any trouble."
Dumbledore raised an eyebrow upon hearing this and asked, "Dudley, have you discovered something?"
Dudley didn't hide anything and shared all the secrets of the Ecclesia family that he knew and had analyzed with Dumbledore.
Dumbledore pondered for a moment, but couldn't think of any other reason or possibility that Ecclesia might have to cause trouble.
But as Dudley said, just in case, Ecclesia should increase the dosage appropriately.
So he said, "I will inform Snape and have him and Professor Slughorn increase the amount of Ecclesiastes's half-finished Soul Anesthetic Potion used, without too much impact on the experiment."
Dudley couldn't think of any other possibility that Eckeris could possibly harm Sirius or plot against the Black family under the current circumstances.
So, after making the arrangement to increase the dosage, he contacted Sirius directly in front of Dumbledore and Harry through the Mirror Mark.
Sirius was warned to stay away from and be wary of Ecclesia in the future. No specific reason was given, only that Ecclesia was not a good person and that he was not allowed to get close to her.
Sirius was very puzzled, but he had no objection to it, because Snape was guarding Ecclesia and he would never have thought of getting close.
In this way, the matter can be considered closed.
Regarding Ecclesia and Voldemort's main soul, they remain under 24-hour surveillance, maintaining strict vigilance to ensure absolute safety.
Dudley and Harry exchanged a few more pleasantries with Dumbledore, but instead of discussing business, they exchanged holiday greetings and left the exchange of gifts a mystery for later.
Afterwards, they walked back to the eighth floor of the castle together and parted ways in the corridor outside the Gryffindor common room.
Dudley and Harry returned to the Gryffindor boys' dormitory, while Dumbledore returned to the headmaster's office.
