Starting Over at Hogwarts - Chapter 237
Snape’s mind is very complicated.
This man hated Harry’s father, James Potter, and Harry’s mother, Lily, and was often soft-hearted with Harry.
Now that Lily’s ghost has come to Hogwarts, Snape is also wondering if he has been more gentle with Harry, only to see Harry Potter’s same face as his old enemy James Potter. , made Snape feel like his blood pressure was rising…
never mind.
Harry was an accident.
And only a child.
A child who is likely to die in the future.
Now Snape was more concerned about how he and Dumbledore were supposed to explain to Lily that her son Harry was one of Voldemort’s Horcruxes…
Hogwarts Library.
“Harry’s body is Tom’s Horcrux…”
Dumbledore understood Snape’s mind, and before Snape returned to the library, he explained Harry’s situation to Lily: “When the blood curse caused by your blood killed him, his A piece of soul attached to the nearest living thing, the body of little Harry…”
“At that time, Harry became Tom’s Horcrux by accident… If we want to kill Tom outright, we have to clear all his Horcruxes…”
“…what?”
Lily looked at the old man anxiously. .
This great mother was a little stunned to find that she thought she saved her son back then, but she didn’t expect to get her son into even more trouble!
“Do not be afraid…”
Dumbledore calmed her down softly, hoping she could keep calm, and continued softly: “Lily, now our most important thing is to protect Harry first, Tom’s enemies have been staring at him and want to kill him, Peter Pettigrew has been trying to kill him. Watching Harry…”
“Peter?”
Lily glanced at Dumbledore with some unease, recalling when she was in contact with Peter Pettigrew, and said softly: “He and we are good friends… But I had contact with him once after I woke up, and Peter made me feel very strange… “
“Because he’s not the timid student anymore.”
Dumbledore shook his head and explained: “Now he is the real Dark Lord, a dark wizard who is more dangerous than Tom… The tragedy of your family was created by Peter seducing Tom… He is the real Demon Lord… perhaps…”
“Peter… how did it become like this?”
Lily looked at Dumbledore in disbelief.
Who can believe that a friend who has always been so timid has turned into a Dark Lord that even Dumbledore finds troublesome?
“He’s just good at disguise.”
Dumbledore frowned, remembering the secret Snape told him about the existence of a master behind Peter, and nodded to himself: “Perhaps it was someone else’s guidance… Anyway, Peter is very much right now. Danger!”
“Peter is searching for the Horcrux to destroy Tom…”
“Peter couldn’t have spared Harry, he couldn’t have spared Tom…”
“Now we have to protect this child and get rid of Tom’s Horcrux and the shards of soul that Tom left on him before Peter wants to kill Harry…”
Now is the hardest time…
Although Peter Pettigrew has never hurt Harry, no one can tell if Peter Pettigrew will do something to Harry next time…
In short, he destroyed Voldemort’s other Horcruxes, and he will definitely do it on Harry, this is Dumbledore’s judgment.
so…
To make sure Harry survives…
Peter Pettigrew has to protect the boy before he attacks Harry, but Peter Pettigrew doesn’t care about Hogwarts’ defense…
Therefore, the best way is, before Peter Pettigrew cleans up Voldemort’s other Horcruxes, Dumbledore thinks that he also cleans up the soul fragments on Harry, so that this little guy has no value to be killed by Peter Pettigrew…
Dumbledore asked a key question: “Lily, the protective blood spell you cast on Harry before he died…can you tell me more about it?”
Dumbledore continued: “If your magic can protect Harry from death, maybe we can kill the soul shard on Harry by attacking him…”
“It also only works on one person…”
Lily shook her head, with a worried look on her face: “It’s an ancient magic, it can only work on certain enemies… It can only help Harry fight Voldemort.”
“…”
Dumbledore fell silent.
The old man took a deep breath and suddenly said, “If Tom kills Harry with magic…will that spell ensure Harry survives?”
This was Dumbledore’s last resort.
If you really can’t find a suitable way, this way is the most dangerous gamble for Harry to survive, and it is possible for anyone to live or die!
“…”
Lily fell silent immediately.
After thinking for a few seconds, the mother nodded and shook her head: “Maybe, maybe not, because that magic will continue to weaken with Harry’s age, it may not be able to resist Voldemort forever, It’s too risky…”
“So we need to take advantage of that magic while it’s still powerful…”
Dumbledore remembered the prophecies made by Hogwarts’ divination teacher Trelawney, and he said these things softly: “Professor Trelawney once made a prophecy for Harry and Tom together…”
Dumbledore slowly looked at the bookshelf next to him, reached out and picked up a book that fell on the ground, patted the dust on the book, and slowly put it on the bookshelf: “…one must die in another In the hands of a man, neither can survive, only one can survive…I think Harry is the hero who can kill Tom.”
After saying this, Dumbledore shook his head again and sighed: “Forget it, we should still have time to slowly find other ways… The Dark Lord in the school was turned into a Horcrux… Not only Harry is a child… “
Although Harry is Voldemort’s Horcrux, he has the protection of the blood curse left by his mother, and this way of fighting Voldemort’s life is possible to survive…
but…
What about Wesson, who was made into a Horcrux by Peter Pettigrew?
How should the child survive?
“I will write to Grindelwald tomorrow.”
Dumbledore slowly cleaned up the scattered bookshelf area, and said softly: “Let Grindelwald see the situation of Harry and Wesson for himself, I hope we can find other ways to keep the children alive…”
“Grindelwald?”
Lily looked at Dumbledore suspiciously.
How does the name Grindelwald sound a little old…
“Peter let Grindelwald out…”
Dumbledore turned his head and explained softly: “But now that I have reached an agreement with Grindelwald, he is barely our friend. His black magic is much higher than mine, and there may be a way to solve the problem of the two children. trouble…”
Take this opportunity.
Dumbledore also wanted to warn some Grindelwalds, lest his old friend start another wizarding war after swooping down on Europe’s Ministry of Magic.
Other than that.
Dumbledore also wanted to ask Grindelwald to see if he had anything else to do with the master behind Peter Pettigrew, and if he knew anything…
“…thanks.”
Lily looked at Dumbledore gratefully and nodded~www.mtlnovel.com~ I just happen to have other things to ask him…”
Dumbledore shook his head, turned his head to look at Snape who entered the library, and greeted Snape loudly: “Severus, help Lily find a place to settle…”
“…Yes.”
Snape hesitated for a second.
The man slowly stopped in place. He looked at the ghost floating in the air and asked indifferently, “Where do you want to live? Potions laboratory?”
“It will be all right…”
Lily’s mind was still on Harry, and she asked casually, as if thinking of something, “Is the small room above the Potions Laboratory still there? It’s the place we used to go to when we were in first grade. …”
“…Of course.”
Snape nodded calmly and slowly.
