[HP] Similar but different

For a while, no one spoke, only the slight sound of the fire in the room.Harry slowly looked away from the void, and turned to Voldemort. "...Do you believe this?" After saying that, he realized that his voice was dry.

"As for the veracity of the prophecy, you should know better than me." Voldemort said softly, "You watched her do it in the third year."

Harry did remember, and he remembered when Voldemort saw that prophecy in his head.Although Trelawney was usually rambunctious, what she said that time was verified verbatim - the evidence was the Dark Lord standing in front of him now, stronger and more terrifying than ever before. "I'm not the only one who meets the conditions of the prophecy, right?" He said weakly, "Why do you know it's me?"

"It's true," Voldemort tightened his jaw, and his eyes fell on the lightning scar, "but not after I marked you."

The phrase "The Dark Lord marks him as a rival" echoed in Harry's ears again. "I still don't get it..." Some part of him thought it might not be a good idea to ask Voldemort himself for proof, but he couldn't help himself—no one knew better than the Dark Lord himself, did he? "Why did you choose me among all the eligible children? You probably didn't know about energy at the time, but you still chose me?"

There was a silence, and Voldemort looked away from Harry's forehead. "The reason I told you last time."

"Are you saying..." Harry racked his brains to think back, "the similarity between you and me?" He was puzzled, "Because of this, you think I'm more likely to kill you than anything else who?"

But Voldemort didn't answer.He stared at the prophecy ball still in Harry's hand, seemingly lost in thought.

"Okay, let's make this clear." Harry wiped his face vigorously with his empty hand, "You heard part of the prophecy, because your resemblance to me marked me as your sworn enemy; but The prophecy didn't mention my name until you made a choice—if you didn't want to strike first, you wouldn't have a mortal enemy at all, right?"

"Let me remind you, there are no more ifs," Voldemort said flatly, his eyes still fixed on the prophecy ball.

Harry choked for a moment.That's right, whatever Voldemort thought before, it was a given now; whoever it was, had to look straight. "So you killed my parents—" he had to ask.Lily and James died without knowing the real reason, and he felt a sudden and unreasonable sense of guilt about it.

"There's nothing to say." Voldemort interrupted before Harry could finish. "Now that you know, it's time to make a new decision..." He finally looked at Harry, the indifference in his red eyes was as hard as ever, "Or do you need more time to think?"

The eyes of the two met in mid-air, and then fell into each other's eyes.Harry could only see the Occlumency walls in the scarlet, and couldn't make out what the Dark Lord was thinking. "You seem to want me to make a certain decision," he said hesitantly.

"No," Voldemort denied, twitching the corners of his mouth. "I just occasionally put myself in the shoes of a mortal and speculate on their most likely course of action... and I'm usually right."

"Mortal?" Harry asked back.It wasn't the first time he'd heard Voldemort's mention of the mortal world or something, but for some reason the condescending attitude was especially irritating to him now. "The way I see it, you just don't want to admit that you did something wrong..."

"That must be your mistake." Voldemort retorted involuntarily, with a strong tone for the first time. "If I were you, I would immediately head back to Hogwarts to prepare for the next war." He looked towards the window, as if he could see the scene outside through the heavy curtain, "The Savior disappeared for no reason. good reason, don't you think?"

Harry had completely forgotten about time; he certainly hadn't imagined that Ron and Hermione would have to tell the professors when they found out that he couldn't be found anywhere.It almost made him jump, but he managed to control himself in the end. "I know what I have to do," he snapped back. "Anyway, before that, there's one more thing—did you do the Death Eater escape?"

"After knowing the prophecy, are you still in the mood to pay attention to this?" Voldemort was a little surprised, but quickly controlled it, "It seems that I really underestimated you... you are indeed the savior, huh?"

"Don't call me the savior!" Harry became irritable, and took two steps back and forth, "So you did it? Like you just said, as a signal to go to war?"

Voldemort replied without batting an eye, "I thought it was pretty obvious."

Although he had expected it, Harry still couldn't believe it when he actually heard it.He still stood by his point, but it was clear that the Dark Lord refused to be persuaded. "Maybe I won't be able to ask you what you're going to do again," he murmured, almost dejectedly, "because the answer must be something I don't want to hear."

"I'm glad you finally understand this." Voldemort nodded slightly.

Harry stared intently at those red eyes.For some reason, he caught approval in Voldemort's words... He must have been deluded too deeply by the previous illusions, and now he felt an undeserved sense of despair. "Okay...Okay." He said two consecutive words, his voice was hoarse, but he was extremely firm, "In this case... no matter where you plan to attack or hurt anyone, I will do my best to stop you!"

This time, it wasn't Harry's delusion—a smile that was infinitely close to satisfaction appeared on Voldemort's pale face upon hearing this. "Excellent, exactly what I wanted to hear most."

With nothing more to say, Harry ducked into the portrait tunnel.After walking down several steps, he turned his head and saw only the slowly closing passageway.The not-so-bright beam of light changed from wide to narrow until it completely disappeared.He stared in the dark for a few seconds before rubbing his pantothenic acid eyes vigorously.Afterwards, he silently recited a fluorescent flash, and under the guidance of the dim light of his wand, he staggered towards Hogwarts.

In the room, Voldemort was still standing there.The picture frame has been restored to its original state, and the young man returned inside without making a sound immediately.For Voldemort seemed to be staring at the prophecy ball that had been replaced, but was not looking at anything; he was thinking of something, something that had never happened—

Tears welled up in those emerald green eyes when he said "Okay," and Harry probably didn't realize it himself.And just for a split second, he had a vague urge to wipe away the glare of the water, or to give Harry a soft hug before telling Harry that he was cheating on him.

...Merlin's beard, isn't that the hell?

Voldemort quickly snuffed out the thought, rethinking what he had just said.He was sure the boy would bring them to Dumbledore intact, and that was what he really wanted.Let them be his parting gift with the boy, along with the Death Eater's escape...

There was a faint figure by the door, and Voldemort immediately came back to his senses. "Come in, Barty."

"Yes, Master." The loyal Death Eater immediately walked into the room quickly.He didn't see the so-called guest, and he wisely didn't inquire. "As to those plans," he asked cautiously, "you have made your final decision, master?"

"That's right." Voldemort nodded, calmly ordered, "The Order of the Phoenix will try to fight back soon, so I want to see you take action—everyone, immediately!"

**

It was well past midnight when Harry got back to school.He hadn't had a drop of water for more than a day, and he was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back. As soon as he left the door of the Room of Requirement, he ran straight towards the fruit painting downstairs—providing food may be the only thing that the Room of Requirement can't do. The badly-needed school kitchen has anything like food.

But before he got down to the fifth floor, he was caught by the almost berserk Snape.

"Where did you go missing, Potter?" the Potions professor roared loudly, "Is it possible to show your savior's presence only by letting everyone look for you throughout the school?"

"I didn't..." Harry was annoyed to hear the Savior, but it occurred to him that Snape was currently the only member of the Order at school. "I want to see Professor Dumbledore, I have something important to tell him!" He asked quickly.

"Important matter?" Snape's thin lips twisted, and there was malice in his dark eyes.He grabbed Harry by the back collar and tugged, "It's better like this, because the headmaster wants to see you too!"

A quarter of an hour later.

Harry sat at the wooden table in the kitchen of 12 Grimmauld Place, wolfing down hot drinks and pastries that Sirius had prepared.

"Slow down, Harry," Sirius patted Harry's back worriedly, "There's a lot more."

"You should be lucky," Snape folded his arms, his tone sneering, "you are very lucky to have rushed to meet the Dark Lord, only to starve to death."

Sirius immediately glared at Snape. "Can't you shut up for even a minute?"

Snape wanted to say something more, but Dumbledore said, "Severus, I need you to go back to school and stop Umbridge."

"Right away." Snape replied, snorted at Sirius again, turned and left, closing the door with at least eighty percent of his strength.

Sirius stared at the slightly wobbly door for a moment, then turned to Dumbledore. "I think I can..." There was pleading in his eyes.

"I know what you mean, Sirius," said Dumbledore, looking at Harry. "I'll take Harry's time for a moment, and you'll find out later."

Sirius hesitated for a moment, nodded, stood up and walked out.His gaze remained on Harry until he closed the door.

After three mince pies, a glass of milk, and a glass of pumpkin juice, Harry's stomach, screaming and protesting because of space, was relieved. "Professor?" He was a little embarrassed, "Sorry, I'm so hungry."

Dumbledore shook his head slightly.He filled Harry's glass with fresh pumpkin juice and sat down next to Harry. "If you don't mind, tell me what happened now?"

"Yeah," said Harry.From the time he encountered Voldemort in Little Whinging to the day he went to find Voldemort yesterday, even if he only mentioned the important part, it took him quite a while to tell.

Dumbledore was very focused the whole time.He reacted calmly to the serpentine wand, horcruxes and prophecies; those suspected tutoring touches and the amazingly effective shattering spell made his eyes slightly widen; knowing that Regulus Black had tried to destroy Voldemort more than ten years ago He was shocked when he saw his Horcrux, and smiled wryly at his utterly failed Occlumency class.

It took a while for Harry to finish before Dumbledore said, "I'm sorry, very sorry, Harry. I'm afraid this was my negligence from beginning to end."

Harry heard the self-blame inside, and retorted without thinking: "It's none of your business, professor. I was deceived by Voldemort myself... I really believed the nonsense he said about taking back the soul, now This is all my fault.”

Dumbledore shook his head.His blue eyes stared sadly at Harry over the half-moon glasses, "You're not sixteen, Harry, and I'm that much older. I'm supposed to see farther than you, and I'm supposed to be on guard against these things." happened……"

"But these things concern me, and I should know," said Harry. "You'll tell me sooner or later, won't you, Professor?"

Dumbledore blinked slowly. "Actually, not so early," he said, with obvious pain in his tone, "I've been thinking about telling you these things since your second grade; I'm too young, so I shouldn't have to bear these things." He took off his glasses, stared down at the ground, and put them on again, "And I don't want to let you know in such a cruel way."

Harry was silent for a moment. "But that is my fate," he said softly, his eyes wandering unconsciously over the grain of the table in front of him, "Voldemort was right about this—even if he chose it for me, I must face it bravely." it."

After hearing this, Dumbledore was also silent.

"I should tell the others that I am Voldemort's Horcrux," said Harry, when even the crackling of the fire seemed to have died down. to destroy Voldemort, and I hope one of them will do so when the time comes."

"You could indeed tell Mr. Weasley and Miss Granger. Sirius, too, I suppose," said Dumbledore softly, "but I'm afraid I can't agree with you about the rest of the disclosure..." He greeted Harry. With some bloodshot eyes, the voice became softer, "Because Voldemort didn't tell you another important thing."

"...what?" Harry opened his mouth, stunned. "Is there anything else I don't know?"

Dumbledore nodded. "You should remember that he used your blood to bring him back to life. Whatever he did to Umbridge by that, I must say, he does have some reasons that are indestructible to him."

"Not property ownership?" Seeing Dumbledore shaking his head, Harry was so surprised that he almost forgot about the others. "What the hell is that?"

"Flowing blood means life, Harry," Dumbledore explained. "He used your blood, and it doesn't just mean that he has the protective charm left by your mother. Given the gap in your magic power, it makes sense. Come on, he protected you."

"What?!" Harry jumped up in horror, he couldn't even think of such a conclusion. "Voldemort protected me...what the hell does that mean?"

"It means that no one can kill any of you alone; if you or him die, the only possibility is that you and him die at the same time." When he said this, Dumbledore's tone was unprecedentedly low.

"But I still don't understand..." Harry didn't understand at all.So it's not that to kill Voldemort you have to kill him first, but that they both actually lived and died together?How can this be?The Dark Lord will not sit idly by! "If Voldemort made another body, he wouldn't be bound by blood, would he?" Almost immediately he thought of a solution.

"Oh, it's not impossible, but I don't think he would," said Dumbledore thoughtfully. "Judging from what you just said..."

Harry's head was almost a mess.He felt that Dumbledore's words were inconsistent, and he tried to think about it, but he was really tired and didn't have the energy to find the real right one among a lot of clues. "Then what can I do?"

"Go to bed, of course." Dumbledore recovered, "I believe Sirius has prepared the most comfortable bed for you."

"But..." Harry hesitated and didn't get up. "What about the school? Is it okay if I don't go?"

"Go and rest, Harry," said Dumbledore again, with some incredulity. "I'll take care of Umbridge; as for the rest, we'll have plenty of time later."

This convinced Harry.He stood up and left the table.But before opening the door, he still couldn't help turning his head. "Did I screw things up completely, Professor?"

Dumbledore stared at Harry with gentle blue eyes. "Certainly not, Harry," he said softly, "I can assure you that everything you have done has exceeded my best expectations."

Harry forced a smile, thinking that Dumbledore must be comforting him. "...but Voldemort seems to be planning something?" he said, not forgetting the escaped Death Eaters. "Voldemort said the escape from Azkaban was a signal for war?"

Dumbledore's expression softened slightly. "The Order of the Phoenix is ​​already working on this matter," he assured.When Harry turned the doorknob, he added something that sounded a bit out of his mind: "When it happens, Harry, you will know that everything you have done was not in vain."

The author has something to say:

This is the end of the first volume~ I will open the next volume in a few days, I have been working overtime lately _(:з」∠)_

By the way, the opening words of the first volume are from Penelope Fitzgerald (English) "Offshore", and the opening words of the second volume are from Michael Ondaatje (plus).
