In the evening, Nicholas and Perenell Flamel received the letter from Narcissa Malfoy regarding their stone. When both were finished reading the letter, Nicholas compared the letter from Dumbledore, who requested to study the stone. Perenell looked at Narcissa Malfoy’s letter and suddenly it struck her like a lightning, when she read that Phineas Black could confirm it. "Nicholas, I believe that Lady Malfoy wants to warn us from Albus and his plans. If it is true, what she is saying, then there is no denying that Albus is planning something with our stone."
