"I almost forgot about it, Harry."
After Harry fell into depression and squatted down to pull weeds, Hagrid suddenly remembered what he should do.
"Professor Dumbledore asked me to tell you that if you arrive at Hogwarts, go to his office. He has something important to ask you."
"oh."
Harry, who was still pulling weeds, raised his head and looked at the bolter that Hagrid had put back into his pocket with an envious look. That was a man's romance. Of course, a real man wouldn't jerk off. If he wanted to, he would jerk off. !
That charming large diameter really made Harry drool with envy.
"You two should try your best. Let me take it to a higher level."
Harry lowered his head and glanced at the ebony and white ivory stuck in his waist. At any rate, he was much stronger than when he started school, so why didn't he see any new changes in form?
Perhaps hearing Harry's mutterings, a subtle stream of light flashed across the ebony and white ivory gun fastened to his waist, but Harry did not notice it.
"Does Professor Dumbledore have anything to do with me?"
Harry nodded, "Then I'll go over there."
"Here's the password." Hagrid handed over a small piece of paper with a string of letters written on it: Cockroach Pile.
"The professor has really strong tastes."
Harry grinned, then waved goodbye to Hagrid.
"If Thor is about to emerge from his shell, I will ask Hedwig to send you a message, Harry."
"I know, I will be there on time."
The little wizards who had finished eating the melon gradually dispersed, but they all looked at Harry's leaving figure in unison, and murmured about the big news they had just heard, mostly about Voldemort. No, Regarding the mysterious man, the little wizard is no better than Hagrid who has read "NC War Crimes". In their hearts, Voldemort is a very, very terrifying existence, and even his name cannot be mentioned.
Walking on the way to the principal's office, Harry felt that Dumbledore had finally started to take care of people. Whether it was Hagrid or others in the Order of the Phoenix, Dumbledore had actually not given them the rewards they deserved for more than ten years. Your loyal followers have fought with their lives for you, but Dumbledore, as the boss, has never done anything practical for them before.
Reminiscent of the news that "Dad seems to be getting promoted" mentioned by Fred George on the train, I guess this is Dumbledore's belated compensation for the people of the Order of the Phoenix. With Mr. Weasley's talent, go It is more than enough to be the director and deputy director of a backbone department.
It's just that his 'weird' hobbies made him sit in the position of the Department for the Prohibition of the Misuse of Muggle Items. As a person, he personally compiled the "Muggle Protection Act", an important decree of the Ministry of Magic, and was accepted by most wizards in the Ministry of Magic. Respectful people, this is overkill.
Frustration makes people grow. Harry's conversation with him at the end of his first year may have really influenced the wise old wizard. Coupled with Grindelwald's personal example, he saw with his own eyes that Fudge dared to bargain in front of him. , when facing Grindelwald, he was just as submissive as kneeling down and licking his shoes. Sometimes what he thought was the 'fairness' of staying out of the matter was actually the greatest injustice.
Harry, who had slightly changed his mind about Dumbledore, came to the gate guarded by the spout statue.
"Pile of cockroaches."
The stone statue guarding the door jumped to both sides, revealing a spiral staircase. Harry knocked on the wooden door and entered the familiar headmaster's office.
"Hey, Godfather, why are you here too?"
Harry saw Snape, the godfather of the gang, wearing a black dress.
'Is it possible that Dumbledore has been tricked again? ’ He muttered in his mind and glanced at Dumbledore’s left hand, but it did not appear burnt black.
'Looks like he's not wearing a ring. ' Harry breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Voldemort had confessed to him about the Horcrux ring before. Although he didn't mention the location, it would not be difficult for Dumbledore to find it if he had a target.
"I heard that Professor, you have something important to tell me?"
Harry walked up to the two of them. At this time, he saw clearly several small gadgets placed on Dumbledore's table. They were neatly packed in a box covered with black velvet cloth, under the light. Under the illumination, it reflects the charming brilliance.
"Hufflepuff's cup, Ravenclaw's diadem, and Slytherin's ring?"
Harry narrowed his eyes and turned to look into Dumbledore's eyes.
"Perhaps we should use a more precise term." Dumbledore crossed his fingers, "Hufflepuff's Everlasting Goblet, Ravenclaw's Crown of Wisdom, and the Gaunt family's heirloom, which were once used as Horcruxes, Ring with Resurrection Stone.”
"Tom kept his most important secret very well. It was not until the final moment of collapse that Gale got some clues about the Horcruxes. In addition to the three pieces in front of him, there was also one that was Slytherin's pendant. It’s just that the locket was dropped, and what I got was a replica, and there was a message from a brave man inside.”
Dumbledore took out a shiny golden locket from under the table, and the note was spread out on it.
Harry glanced at it, and sure enough, it was left by Sirius's younger brother, Regulus Arcturus Black, but Dumbledore had not yet guessed the identity of the person who left the message. The clues about R·A·B are too vague and difficult to find clues to investigate.
"Professor, did you just say that these were former Horcruxes?"
Harry, who still didn't know that Voldemort had escaped, heard the clues in Dumbledore's words.
"Yes, after the fragment of Tom's soul in Gale's hand collapsed, he was resurrected on other Horcruxes. However, Tom's decisiveness prevented us from catching him. He took the initiative to withdraw all the Horcruxes. The soul within cuts off any traces left behind.”
"Including his Death Eaters, they have all been completely abandoned by him."
"How do you know this?" Harry glanced at his godfather. Although he probably knew it in his heart, he still had to pretend not to know.
"The Dark Mark has disappeared. Only when Voldemort takes the initiative to remove it can this magic truly disappear."
To Harry's surprise, Snape took off his dress coat and exposed his arms.
"I once infiltrated the ranks of Death Eaters, and I sent almost all the important information the Order of the Phoenix received."
"Why?"
"Because I can't worry about Lily. This can at least avoid most dangers. James Potter is a brainless idiot. I never believe that he will use his brain one day, but he used his stunted brain. He has never done anything good!"
There was an undisguised cold murderous intent in Snape's eyes. After learning all the details of the betrayal, Snape, who originally just hated James Potter, had wanted to kill James more than once. Digging out his grave, crushing his bones and scattering ashes. If Dumbledore hadn't stopped him, he probably would have done it.
"Remember, Harry, your dad is a fool, a hopeless fool, and so is Black."
"There's no need for you to go to North America to save that dog's life. It's worse than a piggy, so what qualifications does it have to be your godfather?"
There is no doubt that if Sirius Black really appeared in front of Snape, Snape would definitely go on a killing rampage and kill Sirius outright and send him down to see that damn bastard brother.
Harry was silent for a while. He was indeed closer to Snape than Black.
"Okay, Severus, don't say this in front of Harry." Dumbledore said, "Sirius is repenting. You also know that he has been in Azkaban for ten years. Realized my mistake.”
"Give him a chance to make amends, okay?"
Snape said nothing with a cold face, neither knowing nor agreeing.
"Let's get down to business, Harry."
"The relics of the Big Four of Hogwarts, this is why I came to you."
"If my guess is correct, the original four founding giants of Hogwarts were all the same as you, awakening wizards."
"Although Tom collected the relics of the four founders, he did not have the key to unlock the treasure."
"But I thought you might be able to."
