Master Druid at Hogwarts

Chapter 696 Horcrux
"why me?"

After quietly listening to the prophecy about himself and Voldemort, Harry asked in a daze, "I mean, according to what you said, that person might also be Neville, right?"

"You're forgetting the next part of the prophecy, the boy who will defeat Voldemort has one of the most important characteristics... Voldemort himself will mark him as a rival," Dumbledore explained.

"And he did, Harry. He chose you over Neville. He gave you this scar that turned out to be both a blessing and a curse."

"But he might have picked the wrong one! He might have marked the wrong person!"

Harry suddenly panicked, he just wanted to contribute to the elimination of Voldemort, but now Dumbledore said that he was the one who could really defeat Voldemort, which made Harry a little confused.

Dumbledore sighed. If he could, he didn't want to put these things on Harry so early, but it's still unknown whether he can recover now, so he must prepare early.

Fortunately, with Fish, even if he really died, there were still people who could confront Voldemort head-on.

He glanced at Maomao, who didn't take the prophecy seriously and was playing with his tail boredly, thinking to himself.

Dumbledore looked at Harry again, and explained: "He chooses the person he thinks is most likely to pose a threat to him, please pay attention to this, Harry. He does not choose people who are pure-blooded, but people like him Same mixed race."

He tapped the lightning-shaped scar on Harry's forehead with his finger, and continued: "Voldemort saw himself in you before he saw you. When he marked you with that scar, he didn't look like him." Killing you as intended gave you strength and a future... like your Parseltongue."

"Why did he do that?" said Harry, feeling cold and stiff all over. "Why did he try to kill me when I was a kid? He should have waited for me and Neville to grow up and see who was more dangerous. Then try to kill that person..."

"Yes, that would probably be more feasible," said Dumbledore, "but Voldemort's knowledge of that prophecy was incomplete. Don't forget, I told you once that the eavesdropper only heard the beginning of the prophecy." part, which is to say that a boy will be born at the end of July, whose parents have resisted Voldemort three times, and then he will be thrown out of the Pig's Head pub."

"Therefore it is impossible for him to warn his master that attacking you will transfer power to you and mark you as his enemy. So Voldemort has no idea that attacking you will be dangerous, and he should wait patiently and learn more. This is why Voldemort wants to get the prophecy ball now, he thinks that the second half of the prophecy can tell him how to kill you... and in fact it does."

Dumbledore sighed again, then gazed calmly at Harry with his deep blue eyes.

"But...but how should I defeat him? Voldemort is so powerful...why not Fish? He has defeated Voldemort several times." Harry asked with a puzzled expression after he calmed down.

"It's meow! Harry is so weak! He can't beat Voldemort's meow!"

(`n)
The cats on the side didn't do it anymore. Voldemort was obviously his prey, so how could he let Harry, such a weak chicken!
"Just defeating Voldemort is useless." Dumbledore shook his head and said, "This kind of thing is not difficult for me. Even the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic can do it by taking advantage of the number of people."

Then he saw the contemptuous eyes of Fish beside him...

(ω)
Maomao, who has beaten many Aurors, was very skeptical.

"Ahem..." Dumbledore changed his statement, "Well, maybe... there is a chance..."

Even Harry didn't quite believe it now.

"Well, let's talk about Voldemort." Dumbledore quickly changed the subject, "If you want to really destroy him, you have to mention an ancient and evil black magic - making Horcruxes."

"Horcrux? What's that?" A new term appeared, successfully diverting Harry's attention.

"That is an ancient and cruel black magic, and it is also the reason why we have been unable to destroy Voldemort..." Dumbledore explained to Harry what kind of existence a Horcrux was in a low voice.

"Every time a Horcrux is made, one person needs to be killed... and it is almost impossible to destroy..." Harry's pupils shrank suddenly, and he suddenly remembered the time when he was attacked by a group of magical creatures in the second grade. Broken black notebook.

"Could it be that……?"

"That's right," Dumbledore nodded and said, "That notebook is one of Voldemort's Horcruxes, and I guess it should be the first Horcrux he made."

"One of...?" Harry's mind froze.

"Of course, you see, that diary has been destroyed by us, but Voldemort can still be resurrected, which is the best evidence." Dumbledore shook his head, "Actually, after destroying that diary, I've been tracking down Voldemort's other Horcruxes, and I've managed to destroy several of them, but..." He shook his head again, with a rather helpless expression.

Harry also had a dignified expression. He actually thought about it before, why should he be so cautious...

Now he finally understood why, if he couldn't get rid of Voldemort and his Horcruxes all at once, he would be able to keep coming back, so it was completely pointless to just beat him for a while.

After pondering for a long time, Fish raised his head and said with bright eyes: "So that's it, meow? Then Fish doesn't have to worry about accidentally beating him to death, meow?"

(ω)
"Huh?" ×2
Both Dumbledore and Harry looked at Mao Mao who suddenly became happy.

So Maomao happily explained to them his "Voldemort Bounty Plan"...

"It's just that Minerva doesn't seem to agree with Fish's doing this... It's obviously all about making money, so what's the difference!"

(〃｀3〃)
Mao Mao clasped her hands, pursed her lips, and muttered in disbelief.

Being interrupted by Fish, the serious atmosphere suddenly became more relaxed. Dumbledore chuckled twice, and then said seriously: "But if this is the case, other people will still be in danger. Even if Voldemort loses In addition to strength, it is not something that ordinary wizards can compete with... such as Professor Quirrell back then, and poor Bertha Jorkins and old Batty."

"There is also an old Muggle man." Harry couldn't help adding, "I dreamed about Voldemort being killed before he was resurrected, and he appeared in the flashback spell."

"So, for the safety of others, we must completely wipe out Voldemort." Dumbledore said softly but firmly.

"OK then……"

(ω)

Fish sighed regretfully, and could only give up his idea of ​​making money easily.

Then Dumbledore got back to the point...

"Harry, do you remember the dream about Arthur being attacked?"

"Remember..." Harry nodded ignorantly, and asked curiously, "Any questions, Professor?"

"So, do you still remember the original perspective?" Dumbledore reminded: "Although Voldemort once attached himself to Quirrell, it was because of his state at that time, so you can see it from the snake's perspective." Seeing all this, the greater possibility is..."

"It's a Horcrux too!" said Harry pleasantly.

"That's right," Dumbledore nodded, with a flash of apology in his eyes, "So I guess, the reason why the prophecy says that you are the only one who can defeat Voldemort is because only you can find all of Voldemort's Horcruxes, and destroy them all."

Regarding Harry's situation, he chose to conceal it after considering for a long time, because Dumbledore had already had some guesses on how to solve this problem, but he couldn't tell Harry about this guess now.

"But... in this case, why did you let me practice Occlumency?" Harry was confused again after being excited for a while.

"Learning Occlumency does not prevent you from seeing a little bit of Voldemort's side when he is emotional." Dumbledore explained: "It just prevents Voldemort from receiving information from you, and in your head. create illusions."

Harry thought of the illusion he had dreamed not long ago, and looked a little embarrassed.

But he quickly adjusted and asked, "Then how should we find the Horcrux next?"

"I guess, maybe the inexplicable connection between you and Voldemort can sense something when you are close to the Horcrux... When you saw that diary, didn't you have a similar feeling?" Dumbledore Lido stood up, and his voice became lighter.

"So next, we only need to collect clues, and then search for places where Horcruxes may be hidden... However, these are currently my work. When I find the suspected Horcrux, I will let you confirm it. Well. Of course, maybe in the future you will 'see' the hiding place of a Horcrux from Voldemort."

He winked playfully from Harry, then lifted his legs and walked towards the small town in the distance.

"Now, just follow me to meet someone for the time being."

"Who are you going to meet? The new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, meow?"

(ω)

Mao Mao followed excitedly, and asked loudly, "Can Fish beat him up?"

"Oh... no," Dumbledore waved his hand, "because I'm going to hire him to be the Potions professor."

"Potions class? What about Professor Snape?"

Harry was also excited, and although he had learned Occlumency from Snape, the relationship between the two had not improved.

"Severus..." Dumbledore shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and said, "He has always wanted to be the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, and he wants to recruit someone from outside who is willing to take up this course." It was too difficult, so..."

Hearing this news, Harry's mood plummeted again in an instant, but when he thought that none of the defense against the dark arts professors had been more than a year old, he looked forward to it again.

And Mao Mao frowned distressedly and said: "If it's Severus, it's hard for Fish to do it meow..."

　Voldemort's situation is actually quite similar to that of Xiongba, who only knew the first half of the prophecy, and then killed himself for the second half of the prophecy.

　　And their mortal enemies have inherited part of their abilities, although one is actively taught and the other is passively given.

　　However, compared with Xiongba, Voldemort seems to be more lazy, the background setting is different, and the strength is not easy to compare, but whether it is strategy or courage, Voldemort is far inferior to Xiongba.
