Harry Potter: The Legend of Demigods

Anakin was hesitating whether to tell the truth or not, and was torn in his heart. Professor Dumbledore stared at Anakin, his blue eyes shining with wisdom. "Anakin, I know you have many secrets, but that doesn't mean I blame you. At Hogwarts, every student has his or her own secrets, and the school will work hard to protect students' privacy."

Anakin was still hesitant, unsure if he should tell the Headmaster everything. To be honest, he didn't know much about An Yin's true identity, and how could he explain why he went to the Pig's Head Bar.

Dumbledore seemed to be able to sense Anakin's inner hesitation, and smiled and said: "I don't force you to reveal all the secrets, but if one day you feel the need to share, the school will always be your haven. Now, about you I need to hear your explanation for your behavior." He sighed, turned around and left slowly.

Anakin finally made a decision: "Professor Dumbledore, please wait a moment." The principal seemed a little surprised and turned around, staring at him expectantly.

Anakin took a deep breath and cast his gaze into the distance, as if thinking about how to express himself. "An Yin is one of my...friends." He chose each word carefully, as if weighing the appropriateness of his words. "He is a dark wizard. He provided the information about the attack on Hogwarts. He also came to help us defeat all the invading dark wizards." When Anakin said these words, the tension in his heart gradually dissipated. , replaced by a feeling of relief.

Anakin paused and continued: "I actually don't know his true identity. Maybe he still has some ulterior past. But the only thing I know about him is that he has principles and disdains harm. As a young wizard, he also pays special attention to his own interests. When he came to help Hogwarts, he told me that what he cares about is the resources I can provide him and your favor." Anakin's eyes were on Memories flicker, as if trying to find more accurate words to describe Ain Yin's character.

"Anakin, indeed, after we stopped the riot of magical animals, he did ask me for some conveniences." Dumbledore said with a smile. "It seems that my question has been resolved. However, Mr. Anakin Wilson, I still want to warn you that it is best to use less black magic. It will cause harm to your own psychology." His expression suddenly became serious. He knows the temptations and dangers of black magic, and has been involved in black magic himself. Concern for Anakin shone in his eyes, and he hoped that the young wizard could stay away from those dangerous areas and maintain a pure mind.

"Professor Dumbledore, I will use black magic as little as possible, but why are black magic defined as evil? Are they just because they contain powerful power and feedback negative emotions? If that's the case, I think I can control it." Najin asked suddenly, curiosity about the question flashing in his eyes. "Professor, I have another question. Have you heard of the bloodthirsty potion before this incident?" Anakin suddenly remembered the scale of the red mist and asked, as if expecting to get an answer.

Professor Dumbledore smiled slightly and answered Anakin's question. "Black magic is not defined as evil simply because of its power and the elicitation of negative emotions. Black magic often stems from the desire for power, control over others, and the pursuit of immoral goals. It is a The corrosive power can easily make the user fall into a moral swamp and lose their original good nature."

He paused and looked out the window, as if he had found a memory in the distance. "Although the power of black magic is powerful, it comes at the cost of destruction. In the process of using black magic, it is difficult to remain calm and rational, and it is easy to be corrupted by dark forces. For young wizards, this corrosion may be especially Danger."

"As for the bloodthirsty potion," Professor Dumbledore frowned slightly, "I do know about this potion. You should have seen its effect, right?"

Anakin replied: "Yes, Professor, but why is its effect so great? It should be impossible for a small bottle of such a potion to cover the entire Forbidden Forest."

"That's a good question. Yes, it's unusual on such a scale. However, the recipe for the bloodthirsty potion was once altered due to the lack of a special magical ingredient. They may have been made using an ancient recipe. Potions," Dumbledore replied.

Anakin frowned, thinking about Professor Dumbledore's explanation. His heart was filled with curiosity and doubts about this ancient recipe. So he continued to ask: "Professor, what is this special magic material? Why does its absence lead to an unusually large scale of bloodthirsty potions?"

A thoughtful light flashed in Dumbledore's blue eyes, and he said slowly: "I'm not even sure if there is such a material in this world, because this special magical material is the water of the 'River of Hatred'. Child. , you should have heard of Greek mythology."

Hearing this, Anakin was stunned for a moment. You know, the river of hatred, the river of pain, the river of forgetfulness, the river of fire and the river of sorrow are collectively called the five rivers of the underworld. How did the wizard get this river water? The gods were driven out of this world more than a thousand years ago. If Hades existed, would Tartarus also exist? So why didn't the monsters inside come out to attack people? Anakin frowned. Anakin felt as if he was standing in an unknown territory. Myth and reality merged in his mind, making it impossible for him to understand. His state of mind was like the ancient magic material, shrouded in layers of mist and inexplicable.

Professor Dumbledore noticed Anakin's curiosity, misunderstood what he meant, and explained with a smile: "According to legend, the water of the five rivers of the underworld comes from various emotions in Greek mythology. The water of the River of Hatred comes from the world. The hatred and malice are a powerful and dangerous magic material. However, as in the myth, this material is only found in the underworld, so because of the difficulty in obtaining this material, the formula was changed so that this potion can Continue to be cooked"

"However, recent events seem to prove that the legend is not all fiction. Someone has successfully found this ancient formula and obtained the water of the 'River of Hatred'. This is why the scale of the bloodthirsty potion is abnormal." Dumbledore's His tone revealed deep concern about this issue.

"Okay, let's stop here." Professor Dumbledore sighed and dropped his explaining tone. "Your friends are still waiting for you. They have been very anxious this week. Madam Pomfrey should let them come in to visit you in the evening." Dumbledore smiled mischievously and winked at Anakin. .
