"That is indeed what they say, it is a very special invisibilty cloak, one that offers true invisibility and not merely disillusionment." Truebridge answered.

"Nicely summarised." Ethan answered. "Harry Potter is indeed the last known owner."

And they appear to be protected from the cloak being disloged from them."
"Sounds like you have been doing some reading." Ethan observed.

All that is really known of the stone though is it can bring people back to life but only in a ghost like form. As for the cloak that is said to have been given to the youngest brother by death in the tale cause he wanted to defeat by making it impossible for death to find him though ultimately in old age he passes on the cloak to his son and accepts death in the tale. All that is known for sure of the cloak is that it's invisibility never fades and it is said that when wearing it not even death can see you which probably comes from the tale.".
"Good, Herminny." Ethan responded.

Brave Truebridge.
Plymouth wiggled his doodles at Truebz, you know, in case he needed them for the lesson. "Hehe."
With a conspiratorial-like WINK, Plymouth set off for the "kitchens." Read you LOUD and CLEAR, Professor!
Well... this would be interesting. Ethan watched the 7th year invader leave all eagerly. He did realise that Truebridge really had missed breakfast, wasn't he?

'Uhm, the stone was said to bring back the dead but not as they were before, because you can't bring the dead back to life so...it's kinda like a smelly corpse...or as the Muggles say, a zombie! She ended on a high note, tilting her head a bit.
Hm, maybe she should read the story again tonight. She really did like it...
"Hmmm. Inferi are more like zombie than those resurrected with the stone, but good answer, clearly you've heard the Tale of the Three Brothers before."

'Hey Ev, how's class?' the voice asked as if it just walked into the room. 'That's just it, i'm in class. Now go away...' But Evelyn knew it was useless. She was tired and wouldn't be able to put up much of a fight with it. She hoped it won't end up like the dueling arena...
"There are but they do not offer true invisibility, only various degrees of disillusionment and those that have strong enough disillusionments to provide invisibility are not permanently charmed that way." Truebridge answered.

"We'll get to the wand soon enough." Ethan answered. "Hold those thoughts."

"Right on both counts." Truebridge agreed.

I believe that the stone was called the resurrection stone. It would allow you to communicate with the dead.. but they'd be in.. um. They wouldn't really be there. Well, I mean, you could communicate with them... but they wouldn't be physical beings. I don't think the spirits would really like it either.. I can't remember that part.. "
Kylie knew she knew more at some point. She just couldn't remember. She wasn't even sure if everything else she'd said was right.
"Right." Truebridge acknowledged.

"That is an important distinction to make. Those who are restored by the resurrection stone do not choose to be thus restored. If they wanted to, if they still had business here then they would already be ghosts and therefore there would be no need to use the resurrection stone to talk to them."
He poked at the display orb with his wand and the triangle part of the symbol flashed.
"The invisibility cloak, the only true invisibility cloak, allows its user to be hidden, but it does not provide invincibility. If someone is smart enough to guess where someone wearing the cloak is, they could still harm them."
He jabbed the orb again and the circle in the symbol flashed next.
"I am pleased that none of you have confused the resurrection stone with the philosophers stone. Of course, they both are used to obstruct death, but in different ways."
He jabbed it for a third time, the line through the symbol brightening while the rest of the image faded.
"The focus of this class will be the Elder Wand. What do we know about the wand itself? What kind of wand was it? What can we guess about its qualities?"
