November 199
Dumbledore's Castle
"But you are a fool, if you think this is the true extent of my power," he added. "Let me show you my true power after which I will have what I want."
After Dumbledore said this, he opened both his arms and a massive magical pressure erupted from him. This wave of magical pressure was much more intense than it had been previous time.
As Dumbledore extended his arms, the sleeves of his robes were pulled back by a bit and his wrist got exposed.
Harry spotted the dark mark on Dumbledore's wrist. Though it was the same dark mark as of Voldemort, it not exactly the same one. Not only had Albus Dumbledore devoured the last fragment of Voldemort's soul, he had also devoured the dark mark and had even made modifications to it as to suit his needs.
Following the intense wave of magical pressure which had erupted from Dumbledore, interconnected runes started to emerge behind Dumbledore. In just few moments, these runes took the shape of a hexagon with Dumbledore standing at the front edge of the hexagon. The hexagon was massive in size. It was covering the entirety of the castle behind Dumbledore. The runic hexagon was dark red in colour.
Inside the hexagon more than 20 circles were formed by the same dark red coloured runic lines. Lines emerge from the outer edge of the circle and these circles were connected to various other circles and the edges of the hexagon. All these- the hexagon, the circles and the runic lines had a specific pattern to it.
Harry raised an eyebrow at this.
"Harry, my boy," Dumbledore laughed, his expression was that of a happy old man. "Watch me. This is my ingenuity."
The next moment, the space behind Dumbledore started to distort and ripple and soon many tears were formed in the space.
Out of the gaps in the space, started to emerge people- wizards and witches. And Harry easily recognised the faces of the people who had emerged from the space.
These people were the former death eaters, the former slaves of Voldemort and included the likes of Bellatrix, the Lestrange brothers, Peter Pettigrew and Lucius Malfoy. They in total numbered over 20.
These death eaters now stood at fixed position in the hexagon. Their faces were devoid of any expression and they did not seem to possess any consciousness or understanding at the moment and were like lifeless puppets.
Dumbledore had obviously used the dark mark to 'teleport' these death eaters from wherever they have been.
"A life force drawing rune?" Harry muttered as he gazed on to the hexagon.
"Yes Harry," Dumbledore smiled with a wide grin.
When Voldemort had drawn his powers from the death eaters, it was only a one time measure using the dark mark but now Dumbledore by adding the rune had removed this restraint of this single time.
But even this had limitations. Although in theory, Dumbledore can draw powers from the death eaters as many times as he wanted with the help of the rune, the life force inside the death eaters was limited. They would probably die if Dumbledore sucked their magic and life force two times consecutively.
Also, when Voldemort had drawn the powers, he was extremely weak and thus he had under gone a profound change after absorbing the powers. But Harry doubted that a full powered Dumbledore who also had portion of Voldemort's powers would go through such a massive change as every physical body has a limit to hold certain amount of magical power.
"I don't see it making you invincible," Harry commented. He had a feeling there was something still left from Dumbledore.
"You are correct, Harry," Dumbledore replied. "But this is not end."
With this, Dumbledore put his hand in the pocket of his robe and pulled out a yellow coloured stone. The philosopher's stone.
He let the stone drop and it floated towards the dead centre of the hexagon.
Dumbledore raised his hand and pointed the wand towards Harry. A wave of magic flowed along the runes of the hexagon and a massive amount of magical power was drawn in the wand from the death eaters.
Yes, Dumbledore was not absorbing the power directly for himself but the power was being drawn directly into the spell he was going to cast.
As the magical power flowed from the death eaters, their faces turned completely pale and it looked like they would crumble at any moment but the philosopher's stone pulsated a yellow illumination and the death eaters healed instantly.
"Like it, Harry?" Dumbledore questioned. "Actually, you have distorted my plans… just imagine the power I would wield when I would add more people to this hexagon. I would devour your soul and I would wield the deathly hallows."
He let out a maniac like laughter and a spell left his wand towards Harry.
