"Is this what I did?"
Dumbledore's original fierce aura suddenly disappeared, and he seemed to have turned into an ordinary old man, looking a little downcast.
To be honest, provocation is completely ineffective for Dumbledore. His character is different from Grindelwald. Although Dumbledore is not a purely good person, he must be classified as neutral lawful or neutral good no matter what. .
"I must have done something wrong. I ignored your feelings and only did what I thought was right. But in fact, this kind of rightness only belongs to me and cannot change anyone."
"Just like when I set Tom's closet on fire and asked him to return the toys that didn't belong to him, I thought that I should make you a brave person, so I"
"So your way to make me brave is to let me, a first-year wizard, face Voldemort alone? Let me, a first-year wizard, use a magic barrier to hold me when I find that I can't fight without cutting. , if you don’t let me leave, are you forcing me to die?”
"I don't know what you are thinking!"
Harry said bitterly, "If you want me to die, please tell me quickly, or just recite Avada Kedavra while I'm sleeping, and give me a good time!"
"Don't you think it's too much to use this method? Lingchi, who can only kill people with a scar the size of a bowl and only needs 3,000 blows to kill, is too much for me."
"Al didn't expect things to turn out like this." Grindelwald said with a wry smile, excusing Dumbledore, "Isn't the final result pretty good? The brave man defeated the big devil, although there was no princess. I asked you to take it back, but you also got a rich treasure in return."
"Even if I didn't get the Philosopher's Stone or the Obscurus, I would still be able to stand on the top platform of the magical world. The treasures my mother left for me are enough. All I need is time, time to grow. "
"Give me seven years, even if Voldemort comes back from the dead and regains his peak power, I will kill him like a chicken. Professor Grindelwald, do you believe it?"
Unlike Lily, although Harry's awakener magic does not have the unique 'extreme' attributes of an awakener and is an incomplete defective product, he is better at fighting than Lily, and his magic is more inclined to fight and destroy.
Harry looked at Grindelwald, but the cheerful man just shrugged and nodded perfunctorily, "Ah, yes, yes."
"The power of the Awakener. Although you have only inherited part of it, you do have the capital to stand at the highest point. The end of your strength is the power of flying bricks. You only need to accumulate time to reach what most wizards will achieve in their lifetime." Unreachable heights."
What Grindelwald said is very pertinent. Even if Harry doesn't work hard, he can stand in front of others' finish line just by relying on his ancient magic power of the Awakener, which is stronger than other wizards. The world is inherently unfair, and human beings The gap is sometimes bigger than that between humans and dogs.
Harry could rely on ancient magic to ignore anti-Apparition. With this kind of cheating device, even if he couldn't defeat him, would he still be able to escape?
The reason why Grindelwald was so patient with Harry was not only because he saw a shadow of himself in Harry, not only because Harry had enough potential, but also because of Dumbledore. Lido, if he was the mastermind of this matter, he wouldn't have any sense of 'guilt' at all. The worst he could do was let Harry dance on his grave. He would be dead by then, so do whatever you want.
But Dumbledore is different. He is a stubborn and even paranoid old man. He will remember the wrong things he has committed for a long time. He regrets it. If he could give Voldemort the correct guidance, then this talented student might not On this road, he was unwilling to face Voldemort directly because of this relationship.
He also regretted that if he had paid more attention to the Order of the Phoenix, perhaps the tragedy of the Potters would not have happened. After all, Harry's father, James Potter, was a very staunch Dumbledore, and James' home was He and the Potter family were neighbors in Godric's Hollow. Dumbledore knew many people in the Potter family. Because of this, James had great trust and closeness to Dumbledore.
If Harry were to follow in the footsteps of Tom Riddle again, and he was the one who caused all this, he really wouldn't know how to face another great adventure after death.
Even if he knew in his heart that Harry and Tom, who could control the dark power and use it for his own purposes, were different people, when Harry thought that the dark power might backfire, he could destroy it without hesitation. , destroying this uncontrollable powerful force is something that Tom cannot do. With this practical example, Dumbledore believes that Harry will not go down the wrong path.
"But in the end, I'm the one who messed up everything."
Dumbledore murmured, and his eyes returned to calmness. Although this incident had a great impact on him, Dumbledore was not a person who was unwilling to face reality. At least in this matter, he could be very careful. Calmly admit all your mistakes and face this reality.
"What can I do to make amends for the wrongs I've done, Harry?"
Dumbledore had always treated Harry as a child. Although Grindelwald told him that Harry was a very thoughtful and ambitious person, he still stubbornly chose to believe in himself. But now, he Don't make any more mistakes.
"As long as it's within my ability, I can agree to it."
This time it’s not about retreating in order to advance. Previously, he pulled out the invisibility cloak and took the death of Harry’s parents on himself. If Harry was just a child, even if he was blinded by anger at the time, but after Afterwards, he will come to realize that the death of his parents had little to do with Dumbledore. What he did at the beginning was a bit too much, and the guilt that will appear will disappear it all. This is not a lack of 'tameness' At that time, Dumbledore was still used to trying to manipulate people's hearts through small means. He never used this to do evil, it was just a habit of his.
At that time, he still wanted to let Harry continue on the path he arranged.
"you sure?"
"I'm sure." Dumbledore nodded slightly.
"I need a little magic power from the Philosopher's Stone. I want to become a different Animagus. I need help from the magic power of the Philosopher's Stone. If I were not forced to eat this Philosopher's Stone, I would choose this way. made."
"That's just the case, okay. I think Nico wouldn't mind doing this little favor. When you're ready, you can come to me."
Dumbledore and Nicoléme had a very good relationship. Nicoléme and he were both teachers and friends. Although the Philosopher's Stone he brought this time was only the ultimate defective product, after all, it was also a Philosopher's Stone. The treasure that Nicolas Flamel had never given to anyone else was his, and Dumbledore took it instead of borrowing it.
"Although I know that Professor you have no ill intentions towards me, but just want to help me become braver and stronger." After feeling Dumbledore's sincerity, Harry's words became a little softer, "But I don't like to be People control their destiny, even if it is 'for my own good', I know the path I want to take in the future, and I will go on without hesitation."
"Of course, this is what should be done. No matter what thoughts I have, I have realized the mistake of interfering in another person's life without their consent."
Dumbledore expressed his apology very seriously. You can't expect him to kneel on the ground and kowtow to admit his mistake, right? That's unrealistic.
"There's one last thing, and it's the one thing that I care about very much now, more than anything else."
Harry's face turned cold, "Peter Pettigrew, I hope Professor you can help me find him together. It was indeed Voldemort who killed my parents, but the guy who betrayed them is even more hateful than the murderer!"
"He! Deserve! Die!"
