A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 547: With a clear conscience

Harry woke up shortly after sleeping in the makeshift tent. There was a lot of noise outside. He found his glasses by the pillow, put them on and sat up from the bed. The tent was empty, only Professor Haipu was sitting at the door, but he looked a little absent-minded.

"You're awake, Harry," said Felix.

"Professor? How long have I been asleep?" Harry asked in a daze.

"About an hour or so."

"What about the others?"

"They all have things to do, and today feels like a lifetime to some..." Felix said, still looking out. He had the rune book on his lap, but he didn't read it, "Don't worry, Ron and the others have been sent back to school."

Harry felt a little relieved when he heard that, and then thought of another question: "Where is Headmaster Dumbledore? He, me, Bellatrix—"

"Oh, I know what you're going to say, Dumbledore left just because of this."

"He went looking for Horcruxes?" Harry asked expectantly.

"That's right, he thought of some clues, and hurried to confirm it." Felix glanced at Harry, who couldn't hide the joy on Harry's face, and couldn't help but pour a basin of cold water: "Don't be too optimistic, the probability of Dumbledore gaining something is very slim."

"Why do you say that?" Harry asked breathlessly.

He knew one thing, it should be said that he, Ron and Hermione speculated in private, combining what Sirius and Neville said.

Sirius told him that the Ministry of Magic and the Order of the Phoenix have been secretly sending people to monitor the Death Eaters whose names have been revealed, but there is no solid evidence, and Neville accidentally mentioned that the Longbottoms had followed up and investigated the Malfoy family , and found the trail of Bellatrix.

"They severely thwarted the mysterious man's plot and almost caught her!"

Bellatrix, Harry said the name silently.

He knew the woman, and had even seen her on several occasions - in wanted notices, in newspapers, in Headmaster Dumbledore's Pensieve towards the end of the last school year, and at Black's old house. above the old photo.

Harry had a hard time connecting the young woman in the photograph with the demented state of her trial in the Pensieve.

"Even if Voldemort handed over the Horcrux to Bellatrix for safekeeping, after today, he will not be able to give it to other people with confidence, and he will definitely take it back. This is also one of Dumbledore's goals, Frighten the snake."

"Is the headmaster wearing the ring to actively reveal his knowledge of Horcruxes?" Harry asked, but he knew all of them by now. "Can't we quietly collect Horcruxes and destroy them one by one?" He said reluctantly.

"It's difficult at this point." Felix said: "You can look at this issue from the perspective of Dumbledore and Voldemort, which will make it easier for you to understand. For Dumbledore, he There are two most important appeals. First, he wants to suppress Voldemort, so that Voldemort will not dare to launch a full-scale war, and control the war to a low intensity; in fact, there have been conflicts before, but only conflicts. Compared with wars, they are dead People are not worth mentioning."

"Secondly, he wants to confirm the last Horcrux as soon as possible. Yes, our expectations were not high, and it has been successfully completed now, thanks to you." Felix tilted his head in Harry's direction and said: "But Dumbledore didn't consider your accident at that time."

Maybe, too, Felix thought.

Dumbledore's thoughts should be extremely contradictory. Both he and Felix knew the easiest way to destroy the piece of Voldemort's soul in Harry's body, but neither of them mentioned it. Method.

But with the wisdom of Dumbledore, it is impossible not to have considered the worst situation. He has been cultivating Harry intentionally or unintentionally, including letting him stay to watch the battle today, which may be a manifestation of this contradictory thinking.

"Both of these demands have been challenged." Harry lowered his head and pondered, "Voldemort has obtained the snakewood staff, and his power is stronger. Even if he doesn't appear today, there will be other conspiracy. And the Horcrux... ...The investigation of the Horcrux has reached a deadlock?"

"Before? Yeah," said Felix.

"Then Voldemort will throw the last Horcrux somewhere casually," Harry thought of the loophole in the plan, and said eagerly: "In case he is thrown into the sea and buried in the ground..."

"No," said Felix curtly.

"Why—"

"Because of you." Felix gave Harry a deep look. "In the past, Voldemort didn't know about the connection between you, but you don't think he didn't notice anything after he attached to you, did you?"

Harry looked dazed.

"Does he know? Know that I can see through his mind?"

Inevitable, Felix thought. It's just that it's not clear how much Voldemort knew. Voldemort may even know the identity of Harry's Horcrux. The probability is between two. But he must be able to find the connection between him and Harry.

Some things can't be hidden as long as they are investigated carefully, such as Harry's scars and Parseltongue, which are not secrets at school.

As the only one, no, the only two people who are still alive after the death curse, no one can tell what kind of connection they will have, not to mention the fact that Harry's mother is also mixed. Protection magic. The situation is more complicated.

Voldemort may not be able to associate it with the Horcrux, because he has never actively split the soul.

But without knowing how closely this connection is, it is extremely unwise to let the Horcrux out of your sight. In case Harry can trace the Horcrux, this possibility is very small, but For Voldemort, there are endless troubles.

Would you dare to bet on Voldemort, who has only one Horcrux left, who is in panic all day long, and who has just experienced a major defeat?

So it is not an exaggeration to say that Harry is Voldemort's nemesis.

There was silence in the tent.

After some time, Dumbledore's figure appeared in the tent, Harry and Felix looked up at the same time, Dumbledore was dusty, Harry found that the wrinkles on his face had returned, and he didn't know if it was The illusion ~IndoMTL.com~ is a few more than before.

Dumbledore shook his head silently, and Harry's heart sank.

"Harry, I'll take you back to school," said Dumbledore.

"What about Professor Hemp?" Harry asked, standing up.

"He has his own things to do." Dumbledore said briefly, and Harry didn't understand. So, does "this thing" mean sitting in a chair and staring blankly at the door of the tent? But he didn't ask, Dumbledore put his arms around Harry's shoulders, and Harry struggled a bit and murmured.

"I'm sorry... I caused you trouble."

"None of your business," said Dumbledore calmly.

"But I didn't listen to you and let Voldemort notice me." Harry blamed himself, "I should have thought you could handle it...but I couldn't help it."

He only knew that because of his impulsiveness, Voldemort discovered the connection between them. It is estimated that it will be difficult to dig out information from Voldemort's mind in the future. Voldemort will definitely guard against him and use Occlumency...

To Harry's surprise, Dumbledore smiled for the first time since he appeared, and Professor Haip at the door also smiled.

"Harry," Dumbledore said patiently, "Of course I hope you will become mature and stable, but I don't want your growth to be at the cost of losing those shining points, kindness, bravery, integrity... This is something that many people can't have in their lifetime. You have a clear conscience, Harry, you don't even know how much I envy you."

He sighed softly, stroking the black gemstone ring on his hand.

For a long time, neither of them spoke, until Fawkes flew in from outside, circled low in the tent twice, and landed on Dumbledore's shoulder. With a flash of fire, they disappeared into the tent.

Felix is ​​in a trance, kind, upright, brave, and has a clear conscience... How many of them do he have?
