Master Druid at Hogwarts

Chapter 254 Dumbledore: I have a plan
Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore were stunned when they saw Fish rushing in holding a roll of quilts.

It's just that they soon discovered that what Fish was holding was not just a quilt, but a person wrapped in it.

"What are you doing?"

Professor McGonagall watched Fish dumbfounded as he put Harry and the quilt on the ground.

"It's not Minerva, you told me to bring Harry here? I'm not allowed to tell other people..."

ω
Fish tilted his head suspiciously, and said plausibly, "Fish thought about moving Harry out secretly so that no one else would find out, meow."

"Well... good job."

Dumbledore hesitated for a moment, but still praised.

After all, although Fish did not treat Harry very well, it was indeed a good way.

Even if Voldemort found out by accident, he would probably think that Fish was playing a prank on Harry instead of himself being exposed.

"Professor Dumbledore? What happened?"

Harry, who had been lifted from petrification, got up from the ground in a daze, and then saw a lion with a wild mane, McGonagall...

"That... we made Polyjuice Potion just to find out who the heir of Slytherin is!"

Harry, who thought he was going to investigate their Polyjuice Potion, quickly explained.

"Oh? So it's your share too?"

Professor McGonagall squinted his eyes, looking even more majestic in the lion state.

"..."

Harry was so annoyed that he almost wanted to slap himself... If you don't blame yourself, that's right.

"That incident has passed, and we will not pursue your mistakes."

Fortunately, Dumbledore quickly put Harry's heart at ease.

"We came to you for other things."

"What's the matter, Professor?"

Hearing that they would not be held accountable for using Polyjuice Potion, Harry, who was relieved, hurriedly asked cooperatively.

Dumbledore didn't answer him directly, but turned to look at Fish, and said, "Why don't you come and talk to Harry?"

Then Harry saw a rare twisted expression on Fish's face.

He scratched his cat's ears with his hands, and said to Harry in a friendly voice, "Fish told Minerva about you being a Parseltongue, meow..."

(●ω●)

"..."

Harry looked at the kitten who claimed to have a strict mouth, dumbfounded.

"Professor, Parseltongue...I don't know...it's not me..."

Harry, who came back to his senses, was struggling to distinguish, but for a while he didn't know how to speak. After speaking a few words incoherently, he slumped his shoulders and let out a long sigh: "Whether you believe it or not, I really didn't open the chamber of secrets."

"Hahaha, I think you've misunderstood, Harry."

Dumbledore stroked his beard and explained to him with a smile: "We don't think you are the heir of Slytherin."

"Yes, meow, meow, it was that villain named Voldemort who opened the Chamber of Secrets. Fish was also worried about you before telling Minerva and their meow about this."

Fish also nodded in agreement, saying that it wasn't that he didn't keep his word, and Mao Mao's mouth was still very strict.

"It's like this..."

Next, Dumbledore briefly explained the current situation to the bewildered Harry.

"Although we speculate that your Parseltongue may be caused by the mana Voldemort inadvertently left in your body, but just to be on the safe side, it's better to have it checked."

"I understand."

Harry nodded, and stood in front of Dumbledore very cooperatively.

Holding his wand, Dumbledore bent down and circled Harry several times. He checked Harry's body several times in great detail, and finally heaved a long sigh of relief and stood up straight.

"It seems that my guess is correct. There is no sign of being possessed or controlled on your body. You just inherited part of Voldemort's mana."

Don't look at Dumbledore's relaxed tone, in fact, he is secretly distressed in his heart at this time.

Checking whether he is possessed or controlled is actually very simple, and it doesn't take so long at all. Dumbledore was mainly confirming whether Harry really became a Horcrux of Voldemort just now.

The result is very regrettable. His guess is correct. Although Harry's "horcrux" is not very complete, the core function of the horcrux is still there. If some conditions are met, Voldemort can be on Harry's body. "Resurrection".

"Can you get Voldemort's magic out of my body, Professor?"

On the other side, Harry asked eagerly while he was relieved.

Out of disgust for Slytherin and Voldemort, Harry very much rejected Voldemort's mana in him, even if it allowed him to master the rare ability of Parseltongue.

However, Dumbledore shook his head at him, "I'm sorry Harry, Voldemort's mana has been in your body for too long, and I have no way to remove it for the time being."

This was of course deceiving Harry, Dumbledore just didn't want him to think too much.

So he comforted again: "Even if you have Voldemort's mana in your body, it doesn't prevent you from becoming a Gryffindor, does it?"

"But...the Sorting Hat thought I was more suitable to be a Slytherin..."

Harry was still a little confused.

"But you chose Gryffindor, that's the most important thing," Dumbledore smiled and pointed at Fish, "Have you forgotten how Fish was assigned to Gryffindor?"

"Meow?"

ω
Fish blinked, not knowing what Dumbledore suddenly said he was doing.

But he still said seriously to Harry: "The Sorting Hat said that Fish can choose cats by himself."

Professor McGonagall on the other side also said: "It took the Sorting Hat five and a half minutes to decide whether I should go to Gryffindor or Ravenclaw. In the end, I chose Gryffindor myself."

"Every year there are always some students who have the characteristics of multiple colleges. The Sorting Hat needs to combine various factors to decide where they go. For those like me who take more than 5 minutes, there is a proper term called 'hat embarrassment'. "

By the way, Professor McGonagall told Harry a cold knowledge about the sorting hat.

"Well, in short, you can rest assured that Voldemort's mana will not affect you, as long as you are as usual."

Dumbledore brought the topic back, and then reminded: "But you should pay more attention at ordinary times. After all, you are Voldemort's main target. If you find anything unusual, please notify me or Professor McGonagall."

"I understand."

Although he was still a little nervous, Harry also knew that the most important thing right now was to find Voldemort lurking in the school.

"Don't you need to remind Ginny, Professor?"

After solving his own problems, Harry thought of Ginny who had been controlled, and couldn't help but express his concern.

"I can only be sure that she is not possessed and controlled by someone now, but I am not sure if Voldemort has left surveillance means near her. In order to avoid alarming the enemy, it is better not to let her know for the time being."

Dumbledore shook his head, then gave Harry a task.

"You can help to stare a little bit at ordinary times, just pay attention to the behavior not to be too obvious."

In fact, Dumbledore didn't think that Voldemort would pay too much attention to Ginny. He just wanted to find something for Harry to do. Grab the Sorcerer's Stone...

Although it was all guided by himself, it also fully demonstrated that the boy who survived the catastrophe is not a quiet guy.

Even if Voldemort really has some tricks left on Ginny, he can be used to lure him out and exercise Harry Potter by the way.

His plan was ruined by Fish last semester, and it happened to make up for it this semester.

It's still the same reason - it's rare to meet such a weak Voldemort, so it's better for Harry, the prophesied savior, to meet the Dark Lord earlier, so it's better to be prepared.

Recommended monthly ticket

　Hatstall, translated as hat-embarrassed, hat-dwelling, and difficult students in sorting, is a student who spends more than 5 minutes in sorting. It is said that only one student will emerge in 50 years.

　　The currently known hat embarrassment is only Professor McGonagall and Peter Pettigrew.

　　In addition, it took more than four minutes for Hermione to be sorted, and she was also chosen among lions and eagles. She is very similar to Professor McGonagall in many ways.

　　In addition, the Sorting Hat does not always listen to the opinions of the students themselves. For example, Neville always wanted to go to Hufflepuff, but the Sorting Hat still forcibly sorted him into Gryffindor.

　　But I guess Neville himself actually wanted to get into Gryffindor, but he just didn't have confidence in himself, so the Sorting Hat did this.

　　As for some conspiracy theory colleagues, it is said that the Sorting Hat can be manipulated by Dumbledore. I think that is ridiculous. Anyway, the Sorting Hat is filled with the thoughts of the Big Four. How could it be controlled by one of their descendants.
