33 Aftermath
When Anthony received the Philosopher's stone from Harry's hands, he put it in 2 bottles of water and made 2 elixirs of life.
Anthony wanted to create more, but the color of the Philosopher's stone has dimmed already.
'So the Alchemical principle of equivalency is still valid! Even the Philosopher's stone needs magical energy to function. But how can I charge the Philosopher's stone?' Anthony thought to himself. In the world, there is no manual to use the Philosopher's stone. Therefore, After confirming that it is not just water but an elixir of life by the scent and energy radiating from the water, Anthony confirmed that this is the valid Philosopher's stone and Elixir of life.
The sad part is that the Philosopher's stone is not the magical stone that broke the law of Alchemy but a tool that converts energy into the desired will.
'The matter of charging the Philosopher's stone can be delayed. But I need to get rid of the bodies as soon as possible.'
After putting the body of Quirrel and Daphne in the Briefcase and let the Basilisk have a feast, Anthony took Harry Potter and left the third-floor corridor, and entered the Slytherin Common room.
'Obliviation requires a tremendous amount of torture to be broken. Since Dumbledore cannot torture Harry, I need to focus on my Occlumency to protect this secret from everyone. If he knows that I killed Quirrel, Daphne, and a Soul of Voldemort, he would be wary of me and think that I would be the next dark lord' thought Anthony inwardly in his room.
Anthony has erased Harry Potter's memory regarding today's events that has relevance with the Philosopher's stone. Their conversation and the night's events have been erased. He put Harry in his dormitory and left his friend's room without a trace.
Next day in the morning, Harry and Anthony went into the Great Hall together.
Harry Potter looked towards the main door of the Great Hall waiting for Daphne, but something strange happened.
"Tracy, have you seen Daphne this morning, did she catch some illness?" asked Harry Potter from Tracy Davis who is the best childhood friend of Daphne.
"Sorry, Harry. I haven't seen her since the morning. Perhaps she is at the Hospital Wing if she is ill!" said Tracy without knowing what has happened.
'Oh, Harry! Just forget her! She betrayed us!' thought Anthony inwardly. Anthony was eating the morning breakfast as if nothing has happened.
"Harry, maybe Daphne is at the Hospital Wing, don't need to worry!" said Anthony with an assuring tone.
"Then, let's meet with Daphne at Madam Pomfrey's" said Harry.
Soon during the breakfast, Hogwart's Deputy Headmistress Professor McGonnagal has raised up from her chair in front of the podium.
"Excuse me, I have a matter that I would like to address!" said Professor McGonagall.
When the Professor raised from her chair, the students at the Great hall stopped their conversations and focused on their teacher.
"Due to unknown circumstances, Professor Quirrel, teacher of Defence Against Dark Arts is missing. Therefore, the subject of Defence Against Dark Arts would be taught by Professor Snape till the end of the semester" said Professor McGonagall.
The Slytherin Students cheered towards the Potions master meanwhile the other house students, especially the Gryffindor students whispered to each other about how unfortunate they are.
"Anthony, do you think Daphne's disappearance has anything to do with Professor Quirrel's disappearance?" asked Harry Potter.
When Anthony heard the question of Harry Potter, he spurted out his Lightning beverage which he was drinking on the face of Mulciber a first-year student that was sitting in front of Anthony.
"Pardon me, why would you think so? Daphne is perhaps at the Hospital wing. You know girls tend to get sick or she has you know the monthly problem for the first time!" said Anthony
"Monthly problem? What is that!" Harry becomes confused.
"Anthony! That is a not-to-cross topic of girls! You need to shut your mouth or else I will spread gossip about you!" Tracy becomes a bit embarrassed to hear Anthony and Harry's conversation so she finished her meal quickly and left the table.

Soon after the first class, teachers noticed the absence of Daphne Greengrass and searched for her. Unfortunately, no student, ghost, and portrait have seen her since yesterday.
The days went normally. Even though many students have talked about Daphne's mysterious disappearance, after a month, due to end of the school year is approaching, the gossip has quieted down. Headmaster Albus Dumbledore arrived back at Hogwarts on the 25th of May.
The disappearance of Daphne Greengrass soon reached the ears of the Ministry of Magic and the DMLE head Amelia Bones. The DMLE has requested to conduct an extensive investigation on the case of Daphne at Hogwarts. Even though Albus Dumbledore insisted that the Hogwarts faculty can find her, due to David Greengrass, Daphne's father's insistence, Amelia Bones had no choice but to conduct an extensive investigation and took a warrant notice to do investigation at Hogwarts.
--
As for Harry and Anthony, the disappearance of Daphne was a fatal blow to them. Or Anthony just pretended to be sad for Daphne's disappearance. And Harry Potter who lost his memories felt like Daphne's not important anymore, but his mind couldn't let her go fully.
Harry and Anthony were talking to each other about Quidditch broom designs and the upcoming final exams, but when they were heading towards the Potions room, Professor Snape has noticed them and called.
"Mr. Potter, Mr. Dumbledore, may I take you two to head towards Headmaster's office with me?" said Professor Snape with curious eyes.
Professor Snape tried to used Passive Legilimency on Harry Potter, but he only heard was 'Why is Headmaster asking for us? Is it because of quidditch match, no if that was the case why is Anthony also being summoned..'
Snape becomes more curious to find out that Harry Potter is not shocked. When Amelia Bones started her investigation in Hogwarts the most suspicious people become automatically Harry Potter and Anthony Dumbledore due to their relationship with Daphne Greengrass.
Anthony also felt a weak probe in his mind that is trying to hear his thoughts. So he deliberately used his occlumency to misdirect Professor Snape.
'Lemon candies! Yes! Granduncle's lemon candies are the best! Finally, I will have some Lemon candies!!!' a childish voice could be heard.
Snape gave Anthony a suspicious look but since he couldn't use active Legilimens in Hogwarts, especially when Aurors are stationed here, he throws his idea away.
Anthony, Harry, and Professor Snape soon reached the door to Heamaster's office which is a giant eagle statue.
"Sweet beans" said Professor Snape and revealing the stair to Albus Dumbledore's room.
Inside Albus Dumbledore's room, there was no living thing other than the Pheonix Fawkes. But on the second floor, Albus Dumbledore took a book and looked at his office's entry and found that Anthony and Harry Potter are at the same place waiting to meet with him.
