[HP] The Seven Deadly Sins

"We said last time that after Voldemort's mother, Merope, was abandoned by Tom Riddle, she stayed in London alone while pregnant. She was in urgent need of money and had to sell the only thing of value in her body - the hanging Locket."

"But she's a wizard." Harry was annoyed and amused. "She can get anything she wants."

"Maybe she could, but Merope seems to have never used magic since being abandoned, preferring to accept death."

"She doesn't even want to live for her baby?"

Dumbledore raised his eyebrows: "Could it be that you have sympathy for Voldemort?"

"No, I just think Merope is optional, unlike my mother...well," Harry sighed, "Maybe I do sympathize with Voldemort a bit, he always reminds me of Mary, but the Sorcerer's Stone doesn't have to be It was destroyed, right?"

"I don't think there is any comparison between Nicole Flamel and Merope." Dumbledore shook his head, "Nico Flamel is for the future of the wizarding world, and this is a necessary sacrifice."

But who would feel extremely honored because of the glorious sacrifice of their loved ones?Just like himself, he would rather his parents were not such good Aurors, so that he would not become the "savior" he is now.

"But your words have given me some inspiration." Dumbledore said, "After reading the following memory, you will understand what I mean."

They quickly read Dumbledore's memory of the first time he met Riddle.

"Is there anything you want to say, Harry?" Dumbledore asked after a brief silence.

"He gave me a very familiar feeling." Harry frowned and said, "It's like... the same feeling she gave me when I first met Mary, but Mary is better than him." He said selfishly Added a sentence.

"Yes, I felt the same way when I first met Mary." Dumbledore nodded in agreement, "It's just as indifferent, unkind, and independent."

That seems like an exaggeration, Harry thought, but found he couldn't argue with that.

"The difference between Mary and Voldemort is that she is not as arrogant and irritable as Voldemort. This is her advantage, but it has to be said that she is more terrifying than Voldemort."

"So, what do you mean," interrupted Harry, "that you think Mary might replace Voldemort as the Dark Lord?"

"No, I don't think so." Dumbledore smiled slightly, "I did have this kind of concern before, but now it seems that I don't need it."

"what do you mean?"

"You have a much greater influence on Mary than you think, Harry." Dumbledore blinked, "Even though Mary has always been friends with you, Mr. Weasley and Miss Granger for some purpose , and even the two of you have developed a relationship that I didn't expect—"

"..." Harry looked out the window uncomfortably, and the portrait in the principal's room let out a chuckle.

"—But I believe that during those four or five years, she really had a deeper understanding of the word friend, and maybe she even regarded you as friends."

Harry felt like his heart was going to fly.

"But don't expect you to be like before, Harry." Dumbledore's words made his heart sink again, "Mary has always been more rational than emotional and values ​​herself far more than others. I'm merciful to you, I think your nose and ankles already understand this. Of course, you are luckier than me, and your nose is still straight." Dumbledore said humorously, but there was no smile.

Although everyone told Harry to be wary of Mary, when Hermione told Harry that he could invite his girlfriend to Slughorn's party, Harry found himself completely uninterested in anyone other than Mary .

"You can invite Lavender, I invite Ron." Hermione said.

Lavender was Ron's new girlfriend this year - thank goodness Ron's first kiss had finally been sent, Harry and Hermione thought so - but Harry figured those two would rather not go than see the other get asked out .

At this time, Qiu Zhang approached him.

"Hi, Harry." She greeted him hesitantly.

"Hi, Zhang." Harry replied a little coldly. After all, it was Qiu's friend Marietta who reported the DA to Umbridge last year, even though Qiu didn't know about it.

Qiu wrung his fingers uneasily: "I heard about what happened between you and Lemay."

"Oh, is it?" Harry scowled.

"I just want to ask, do you still like her?"

"I don't think it's any of your business," Harry replied somewhat curtly.

"I, I..." Qiu blushed, and took a while to make up her mind, "Can we date?"

"What?" Harry was taken aback. He was at a loss for a while before licking his lips. "I'm sorry, Zhang, but I..."

"You still like Flamel?" Qiu asked back.

Harry acquiesced, but Cho didn't look disappointed. On the contrary, she looked relieved.

"Great, actually, I still love Cedric."

"Then you—" Are you kidding him?

"But our relationship is also very tense recently, and we have quarreled several times." Qiu smiled bitterly, his eyes watery, "He is very busy, I know, but he doesn't even have time to come to Hogsmeade to see me Is it?" She frowned, "And I heard that Shi Thysen entered the Ministry of Magic this year, she has always been interested in Seid, I know, and she looks pretty good..."

Harry vaguely guessed something.

"I just want to test Cedric, I admit it's naive, and it's not good for our relationship." Qiu Zhong sighed, "Harry, you are the most famous person among the students, if I date you Yes, Nazad will know."

"You also said it was childish, Zhang!"

"But I wouldn't be a girl if I acted rationally in everything!" Qiu raised her eyebrows. "Don't you want to know what will happen to LeMay when you hear that I'm dating you?"

"…" Harry didn't want to admit it, he'd just said that was childish behavior a few seconds ago, but he knew he'd been moved.

"It's just pretending to be dating. If you don't think it's okay, we can just get a little closer." Qiu said, "Just do me a favor because we have participated in DA together."

"Okay." Harry agreed hesitantly. Cho once spoke for Mary after she cast the Cruciatus Curse on him. In all fairness, if it wasn't for Marietta, they would have become very good friends. "Once you and Digory reconciled." You must explain it clearly to him."

"Of course." Qiu Xi was overjoyed. "So, can I attend Professor Slughorn's party with you this time? He always invites one or two famous people, and I heard that Flamel will also go?"

"Okay; I guess so." Harry said goodbye to Cho nonchalantly, and walked towards the Gryffindor common room alone.

Qiu's words still echoed in his ears: If I acted rationally in everything, I wouldn't be a girl!

Is Mary a girl?he thought distressedly.

But to Harry's disappointment, Mary didn't even notice that Harry's female companion was Cho, let alone showing the slightest jealous reaction.

Of course that's just what Harry saw, in fact—

When she saw Cho walking in with Harry's arm intimately and whispering something in his ear, the corners of Mary's mouth froze, and she almost spilled the drink in the glass on Slughorn. But in less than one tenth of a second, she quickly adjusted her demeanor and continued to chat and laugh with Draco.

A smile was always on his face, but the words that came out of his mouth had nothing to do with this expression.

"What did I say? He even told me that he has no feelings for Zhang at all!" He still said in the mirror that he liked her, what a lie!

Draco was also taken aback: "Maybe the two of them are acting on purpose?"

"Impossible, Zhang and Digory haven't broken up yet. Besides, he won't think I still like him, will he?"

That's actually it... Draco looked away, wisely saying nothing.

"Hmph, isn't it just liking the new and disliking the old? Like no one!"

"Don't look for me." Draco immediately put the relationship aside, "Hermione is still here."

"..." Mary choked, sneered at Draco's dishonesty, and began to search for other targets.

"Hey." Draco called out uneasily, "You can't play for real, can you?"

"Harry Potter, that little rascal would dare, why wouldn't I dare?"

Draco was silent for a second, Mary looking really mad.

"If it doesn't work, just Snape. In fact, he was quite tender when he was young."

Draco took a sip of champagne, unable to complain.
