Was Professor Recard really asking why Nicholas Flamel went along with Dumbledore? Because who in their right mind would ever go against Dumbledore? The man was a genius of a wizard. Avalon couldn't imagine the nerve it would take to disagree with him. Although she supposed that Flamel had a right to decide what happened the stone. He was the one that created it, after all.

After jotting down a few more notes on her parchment, she raised her hand. "I think he agreed to destroy it because it was such a dangerous time. Voldemort had returned and sought the stone for himself." She vividly recalled reading about the Gringotts break-in regarding the mysterious stone in one of her history textbooks. "Both Dumbledore and Flamel were probably worried that it could end up in the hands of a dark wizard." It was a really noble thing that Flamel did, now that Avalon thought of it. He destroyed his most precious creation for the sake of the wizarding world. But any sort of stone that made you live forever was inherently dangerous. People would always try to take advantage of it. So it was probably for the best that it was destroyed.
