Harry Potter: The Legend of Demigods

Dumbledore froze on the spot, as if Medusa was looking at him. It took him a long time to come back to his senses.

His eyes gradually became deeper, as if they had penetrated the barrier of time and stared into the void. Dumbledore felt a deep sadness well up in his heart, a weight of emotion that made it difficult for him to breathe. Faced with Anakin's firm rejection, he felt the shadow of his youth. He remembered his youthful ideals and the goals he and Grindelwald pursued together. However, fate cruelly led him down a lonely and bumpy road. He felt remorseful and could not express his feelings about his past choices and his helplessness about the future.

"Did I really do something wrong? I just, just don't want it to happen again... The wizarding world can't bear it anymore, it can't bear it anymore." Dumbledore murmured to himself, There was an irresistible bitterness in his tone. "Yes, I have just been escaping all these years, starting from Gellert and then to Tom Riddle..."

......

"Anakin, Professor Dumbledore seemed very sad just now." Harry said, somewhat sympathetically. They have returned to the dormitory. "He seems to have experienced some very difficult things." Although he didn't know what Dumbledore had experienced.

"Yes, Harry, he has been through a lot." Anakin responded softly, with some inexplicable emotion surging in his heart, probably respect. "Professor Dumbledore is a complex and great character, and his past is full of challenges and tests. Perhaps, we all only see his firm appearance, but rarely see his inner fragility."

"Perhaps we all have some unspeakable stories, don't we?" Anakin spoke again, with a deep light shining in his eyes. "Everyone is carrying the weight of the past. Some people choose to face it calmly, and some choose to hide it. But no matter what, it is their unique story that shapes them into who they are now."

Harry lay on the bed: "Anakin, can I ask, why don't you look in the mirror?"

Anakin was silent, and after a while, he replied: "Probably because I am also afraid of seeing my true heart." The miserable and twisted body of the dark wizard he killed appeared in front of his eyes, and he I remembered the system's evaluation of him, "Light or darkness? Hero or devil"

"Perhaps one day, when I am ready, I will go and take a look and see what the mirror will show." Anakin said softly in the darkness.

......

Dumbledore convinced Harry not to look for the Mirror of Erised, so for the rest of the Christmas holidays the Invisibility Cloak sat folded at the bottom of the box. During this time, Anakin began to design the ideal card game in his mind. He conceived it in detail and determined the colors of the four camps and the types of identity cards. The camps are 'Hogwarts', which corresponds to gold; 'Death Eaters', which corresponds to green; 'Ministry of Magic', which corresponds to gray; and 'Saints', which corresponds to purple. At the same time, the identity cards are leaders, employees, spies, and rebels. He is now starting to design his first character card, "Harry Potter"

However, everything has been going wrong for Harry recently, and he started to have nightmares. He dreamed over and over again that his parents disappeared in a sudden green light, and at the same time there was a loud voice laughing strangely. When Ron heard this, he told Harry that the magic mirror might drive him crazy. Anakin told Harry that the color of the Killing Curse was also green. All this made Harry feel heavy, as if some ominous omen were haunting him.

Hermione and Heisa came back the day before school started. Hermione was horrified when she heard that Harry got up from bed and wandered around the school three nights in a row ("What if Filch catches you!"), and when she heard that Anakin followed Harry on night walks. Breathed a sigh of relief. ("Can he be like you? He travels every day and night without being caught once.") On the one hand, I am deeply disappointed that I haven't found out who Lilian Nicolas Flamel is.

"Haisa, thank you for the Christmas gift, it's very useful!" Anakin met Haisa on the way to the library and he thanked her quickly. "Where did you buy it? It must be very expensive."

"It's okay, Anakin. This pendant is actually not an expensive item. Do you remember where I live? My aunt runs a magic supplies store that specializes in selling this kind of item. It is used to reduce the side effects of dark magic. Items are even more common." Haisa smiled and explained, "I asked her for some small things as your Christmas gifts. Also, the quill you gave is really useful. Thank you for your gift, Anakin. ."

Anakin smiled and responded, "I'm glad you like it. Actually, I couldn't find too many stores in a short period of time, so I just randomly selected something that I thought might be interesting to you."

"Anakin, by the way, where did you buy these gifts?" Haisa asked curiously.

Anakin thought for a moment, then smiled softly: "Have you ever heard of Hogsmeade? I found a secret passage leading there and sneaked there at night to buy these gifts."

"Hogsmeade? There's not just...wait a minute, you went to Hogsmeade before Christmas!" Haisa suddenly exclaimed. "Didn't the Daily Prophet say that a dark wizard was killed? Did you encounter him? You were not injured."

Of course I didn't, after all, I was the murderer.

None of what the Daily Prophet reported was true.

Anakin smiled slightly and shook his head: "Don't worry, Haisa. I didn't encounter any danger when I was in Hogsmeade. In fact, the atmosphere there was quite peaceful. I just took a stroll and found After visiting some interesting shops, I couldn’t help but wander around for a while. I’ll probably be raiding when I come back.”

Haisha breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "That's good, I thought you were in danger. That's right, if you really encounter a large group of dark wizards, you won't be able to escape at all."

Anakin smiled: "Yeah, I didn't expect Hogsmeade to be in danger, but it's probably just my luck. Anyway, I brought some gifts back, and it seems that everyone likes them. "

"Next time you have such a plan, you have to tell us. We also want to go shopping together." Haisha said with a smile.

"Okay, how about eight o'clock tomorrow night? Meet at the gate of Gryffindor House. I'll ask Harry and the others." Anakin agreed.

Anakin planned to go to the Forbidden Forest to find some more potion ingredients, and then go to the Pig's Head Bar to get some more money. After all, who worries about too much money?
