"What I have always cared about is the wider world, and the lives and safety of more people," Dumbledore stretched out his left hand and made a huge circle. His hand stayed in the air for a while before slowing down. Retracting slowly, "Yet, yet...there are moments when all I care about is you."

"I care about you so much, to the extent I never thought..." Under the half-moon-shaped glasses, the blue eyes are like the sea, and Harry is about to sink into the vast ocean, "This level of emotion is... really beyond my expectation."

"I can't stand you suffering more. I don't want to see you bear too heavy a burden. I gave up the plan to train you, not to mention that I was skeptical about that so-called prophecy from the beginning." Deng Bullido said, staring at the void in the sky, as if looking at himself who made a decision at that time, "I made up my mind to face everything alone."

"Oh, this is the right way. The sky is falling and adults should fight against it, instead of putting hope on a minor because of a so-called prophecy." Dumbledore looked at Harry with apology, "I'm really sorry that I had such an idea before, wanting to put hope on you because of a nonsensical prophecy..."

"I've done a lot of things. I found what Voldemort needs to live forever. I think Gellert told you before..." He shifted his gaze to Harry, and then looked at the lightning-shaped scar. stopped.

"...Horcruxes." Harry continued.At that time, Grindelwald almost pointed at his nose and mocked: You are just his Horcrux!And this sentence has almost become his nightmare these days.

"Yes, a Horcrux. A Horcrux refers to an object that hides part of a person's soul. Cut the soul and store it in things. If the Horcrux is immortal, it will never die." Dumbledore's eyes still stayed on that road On the scar, "Evil, but effective. Helped Voldemort escape the rebounding Avada Kedavra, so that although he lost his body, he was still able to return to life 14 years later."

Facing Dumbledore's gaze, Harry couldn't help stroking the scar on his forehead: "You mean... me?"

"Unfortunately, Harry," Dumbledore shook his head, "I didn't realize you were one of the Horcruxes at first."

"Wait a minute," said Harry, thinking that something was wrong with his ears, "did you just say, 'one of the Horcruxes'?"

"Ah, 'One'," said Dumbledore with emotion, "Harry, you've got the point."

"Four years ago, I got a piece of evidence that Voldemort split his soul," Dumbledore paused, collecting his thoughts, and then said, "Do you remember the 16-year-old you faced in the second grade?" Tom Riddle?"

"The diary?" Harry thought for a moment. "The one that taught people how to reopen the Chamber of Secrets?"

"Yes. Although I haven't seen Riddle appearing from the diary, what you described to me is a phenomenon I have never seen before. Just a memory, with its own actions and thoughts? Just a memory, unexpectedly Draining the life of the girl who got it? No, there is something far more sinister in that diary - a piece of Voldemort's soul. I am almost sure that the diary is a Horcrux."

"But this raises more questions. What interests me the most, and shocks me the most, is that the diary was used both as a shield and as a weapon. You know, the purpose of the Horcrux is to put yourself A part of the soul is safely sealed up, and it plays a role in helping the master avoid death; instead of throwing it in a fair place, risking being wiped out, attaching to someone else, and releasing the Slytherin monster again."

"Voldemort's carelessness with this Horcrux strikes me with great foreboding. It means he's probably already made—or planning to make more Horcruxes, so losing one wouldn't be so dangerous. I don't want to believe this A little, but no other explanation seems to make sense."

Harry held his breath.

"I got a conversation from Professor Slughorn's memory. It was a young Voldemort who asked Professor Slughorn about how to make a Horcrux. At that time, he asked: 'Is a Horcrux useful? Isn't the soul divided only once? Wouldn't it be better to have more pieces, to make you stronger? Isn't seven, for example, the most magical number?'”

"Seven." Harry couldn't help repeating, he felt his heart be pulled, "He...he made seven Horcruxes?"

Those fragments that once appeared in the dream suddenly flashed in my mind, the cave of the corpse, the pain of the soul, all the black magic experiments time after time...

If, if there are seven Horcruxes, what does he mean?One-eighth piece of soul?One-seventh treasure?

"In fact, he should have made six Horcruxes on his own initiative, and accidentally split a small piece of soul, which attached to your body." Dumbledore said, "On that Halloween night, when Lily used her Life called out the ancient Guardian, the Killing Curse bounced back on Voldemort, and a fragment of Voldemort's soul was blown away, attached to the only living soul in the collapsed house."

"...That's my body." Harry said, looking a little dazed.In his previous wild guesses, he felt that his Horcrux identity might come from various magical sources, or even from some kind of strategy. However, the only thing he didn't expect was that this... this might be a Accident.

However, the word accident can easily lead to many associations.The predestined entanglement, from the prophecy before birth, to the sudden Horcrux, to the unpredictable fate, all of them are linked together by fate...

"Yes." Dumbledore stared at him, interrupting Harry's reverie, "That's your body. Since then you have become one of Voldemort's Horcruxes, and a part of him lives in your body, giving you You lost the ability to talk to snakes. As long as this soul fragment is still attached to your body and protected by you, Voldemort cannot die."

Harry lowered his head, avoiding Dumbledore's gaze: "During the Order of the Phoenix, you asked Professor Snape to heal my scars..."

"Yes, that was my attempt. I tried to separate you from that piece of soul." Dumbledore sighed, "Unfortunately, this attempt failed. This piece of soul has been with you for 15 years, and it has almost been separated from you." You are stuck together, it is not so easy to separate."

"Fifteen years ago," said Dumbledore, "when I saw the scar on your forehead, I wondered what it meant. I thought it might be a sign of some connection between you and Voldemort.

"Shortly after you returned to the wizarding world, my suspicions were confirmed. Whenever Voldemort appeared near you, your scars gave you some omens, or felt other strong emotions. You can feel Voldemort's presence, even though he's disguised, you can tell how he feels when he's in a high mood."

"When I learned from Professor Slughorn that Voldemort might have made six Horcruxes, I realized that you might be one of his Horcruxes, too."

"Harry, can you imagine my mood at that time? I value you so much, worry about you so much, I..." His words choked up.

Harry raised his eyes slowly, seeing the sad and tired look on Dumbledore's face at this moment.

The old man's pale beard and deep wrinkles are particularly obvious at this time: "Have you ever thought about why I didn't want to look at you or meet you during that time, and it was clear that you had just come from When the Death Eaters Manor left, when were you most disturbed, confused, most in need of guidance, and most in need of comfort?"

Without waiting for Harry to answer, he closed his eyes, with deep remorse showing from his expression: "It's my fault, it's all my fault, I was immersed in my anxiety and didn't notice your psychological changes... ..."

"At that time, I just found out that you were his Horcrux, and I was shaken by it..." Dumbledore confessed, "On the few times we met, I thought I saw Voldemort's shadow Dangling behind your eyes. I think that Voldemort intends to get into your mind, control and misdirect your thoughts, and I don't want him to make that desire any stronger. I believe that if he knew about our relationship - whether it is Now or before, the relationship between the principal and the students is much closer than it should be, and he will seize this opportunity to use you to spy on me. I am worried that he will use you, that he will try to control you..."

He opened his eyes, and the blue eyes were filled with tears: "I realize now that the things I have done and not done about you all have the shortcomings of an older person. Young One doesn't know what old people think or how they feel, but it would be a big mistake for an old person to forget what it was like to be young...seems like I've been Can't remember..."

"I should have a hunch that it was my concealment and self-righteousness that finally led to your departure... Whether it is about Sirius or your matter..."

The old principal closed his eyes and was speechless.

They sat in silence for a long time before Harry said, "So, you don't blame me for leaving?"

Dumbledore shook his head: "No. I have done so many things wrong, how can I blame you? You are just, just attracted, just like I was crazy attracted to Gellert at the beginning..."

"You're madly attracted to Gellert?" Harry repeated, his heart racing.For a moment he seemed to see himself in Professor Dumbledore.Immediately afterwards, he couldn't help but think of the letter that the Dark Lord showed him at that time. At that time, he almost felt the collapse of the world. He couldn't believe that the embodiment of virtue and wisdom in his mind would do such a thing. He paused , said Harry, "I have read your letter to Grindelwald. 'We strive to rule for the greater good.'"

"Yes," said Dumbledore feebly, as if forcing himself to meet Harry's gaze, "that was indeed my letter. I was the one who came up with the slogan. You know what happened. You You know, you can't despise me more than I do."

Harry waited, but Dumbledore said nothing.

After waiting in the silence for a while, Harry tentatively asked, "So, what's the real situation? I only saw the letters."

The author has something to say: Both Lao Deng and Xiao Ha thought that V University had many Horcruxes
