928 923 [Return Chapter 5] 14
She was stunned for a moment before she realized that she had shown a slight hint in front of Dumbledore.
But, now, who cares about that?
She lowered her gaze, trying to sort out the mess in her mind—what was destined to happen afterward, the context and cause and effect of the tragedy in the original book—and finally, she jerked her head up.
As if she had made some kind of decision in just a few minutes, her eyes brightened and grew bright.
"That man, he wants the Elder Wand. She said word for word.
Dumbledore raised his eyebrows, as if surprised.
"Tom wants my wand?" he asked, playfully, as if a little ridiculous, before he paused, "though the Elder Wand is very useful...... But is Tom so superstitious about the power of the Elder Wand?"
Although Dumbledore's tone was flat, the momentum behind his words could be regarded as "the king's contempt". Liu Quan sighed and replied, "He wants to be the one who can dominate the world...... So he had to make sure that no one could beat him. How can any other wand be as powerful as an Elder Wand in terms of 'tools'?"
Dumbledore let out a groan, a thoughtful expression.
"So, by letting Severus kill me if necessary, I've got him in trouble......," he said, thinking, as if he were not at all afraid of the idea that he would be killed—as if he were indifferent to the proposition that his own men would be in danger of their lives. It was in an extremely calm and objective attitude and tone that he continued:
"So, you think Tom will kill Severus in order to get the Elder Wand?"
Willow Spring's heart pounded. Not because of any emotional fluctuations, but because their conversation has really touched the key point of the plot, that is, the key point of saving the world.
Unfortunately, she couldn't let Dumbledore know that. But that doesn't stop her from showing her highest acting skills, and continuing to show her single arrow with emotion-
She said word for word, "So, Professor Dumbledore, I beg of you. Call the boy - call Harry and tell him seriously that the Elder Wand will honor the person who defeated the previous master as the new one - whatever spell is used to defeat him, even if it is a disarming charm. ”
The old wizard raised his eyebrows in surprise, opened his mouth, and seemed to have just wanted to ask "why", when he realized something, his expression calmed down again, sighed, and took a sip of the honey tea on the table.
"Oh, my dear child, do you want to play tricks on that man?" he said jokingly, but his eyes were as sharp as a falcon looking over the top edge of the teacup, staring at Willow Spring's face.
"You want to use Harry's brain connection with 'that person' so that 'that person' can see this while he is snooping on Harry's brain?" he raised an eyebrow, "But, I don't understand......"
"You're right that you want Severus to be the man's favorite person for killing you. Willow Springs, quickly interrupted him, "But, as far as I can tell, one of that man's goals is to capture the Deathly Hallows, including the Elder Wand—because legend says that whoever owns the Deathly Hallows can become the master of the Grim Reaper...... What would that person do if he thought that Severus would be the next master of the Elder Wand after killing you?...... Please don't tell me that all sacrifices are necessary for the best good! I can help you fulfill your wishes, but you have always understood my goal, haven't you?"
Dumbledore looked at her and sighed.
"Oh yes, yes. My baby. You don't want Severus dead...... I think I see what you mean. When you think about it, Severus does have a certain danger...... Tom might kill him in order to truly become the owner of the Elder Wand. But if Severus hadn't killed me, how could he have won Tom's trust in the end?"
Liu Quan took a deep breath, "That's what I've come to ask you for. That person could know the key to the Elder Wand's change of ownership through Harry's brain, so even if he decided that Severus would become the owner of the Elder Wand after killing you, maybe he would only use the Disarming Charm to get the Elder Wand......" She paused, shaking her head again, self-denying the idea. "No, it's not a solid idea. I have a foolproof solution to all this......"
Dumbledore waited patiently for her to continue.
Liu Quan quickly pondered all the questions and key points in his head, and finally his eyebrows faded, and he bit his lip, raised his eyes, and looked at the kind old wizard.
"He had to learn from Harry the key to the Elder Wand's change of ownership. If you think Severus has to kill you to gain trust with that person, that's fine. It's just a matter of disarming charms......"
The look on Dumbledore's face slowly turned to surprise.
"Oh, my boy, do you want to go yourself......?" he didn't finish, shaking his head and stopping. "Do you know the consequences of your actions, it is possible ......"
Liu Quan interrupted him firmly.
"Yes, of course I do. But I can't let him die. ”
Because if he dies, the world will be over. Voldemort couldn't have lived, of course, but no one else – the good guys, the innocent guys, the good wizards and Muggles, all of them – couldn't have lived. It's not even a problem you can solve by sacrificing yourself.
Only he could—he survived, perhaps.
However, she could not have said all this to the most eminent white wizard in the world. She could only open her eyes wide and try her best to show the most sincere expression, hiding her sincerity and sorrow under the kind of single-arrow dead-eyed persona, and said:
"I don't know how that man is going to kill me. If it were a requisitioning spell, neither I nor Severus would have a chance...... But if he's going to let that snake he has keep bite me, like the kind of torture he's recently developed—" She paused, her gaze determined and condensed.
"That snake is also his Horcrux. I can go to the Chamber and pull out the basilisk's fangs and take it with me...... I think I have a chance to kill that snake, or at least die with it......"
A certain understanding and compassion slowly appeared on Dumbledore's old countenance.
"I'll make sure that Harry is the true master of the Elder Wand when it comes time for the final showdown. Liu Quan tried to ignore the sympathetic expression on the old wizard's face, and continued to add in a flat tone, trying to think of every detail, and then convince the old wizard who was so determined that he could even sacrifice himself. Her face was pale, her eyes burning, revealing an indomitable determination.
"Then Harry will be victorious. Because the Elder Wand will not kill its master. At that point, everything can really be over. ”
Dumbledore didn't answer her immediately. His fingers tapped lightly on the table, as if in some deep thought, and after a moment he said, "Brave girl, I think your request can be done. ”
……
Once Dumbledore promised something, it was done very quickly.
A few days later, he summoned Liu Quan to his office under the pretext of having her, and familiarized her with the way to hide in the corner of the cupboard and watch. There, Willow Springs, seeing him cleverly lead Harry first about being the owner of the Elder Wand, and then tactfully telling Harry about the rules of how the Elder Wand changed hands, emphasizing how well the "Remove Your Weapon" charm worked.
He finally grimaced with a compassionate look and told Harry, "As the Lord of Death, the Elder Wand doesn't really recognize the power of the Death Curse. It will only be true in obedience when its owner is alive and uses more force to snatch it from his face. Some people are intimidated by the mystery of legends and believe that the appearance of the Deathly Hallows can only be accompanied by death...... This is the wrong idea. The Deathly Hallows can dominate death, so its quest has never been to create death, but to despise it. And when a man is able to despise even death, his power is strong enough to despise everything. Remember that, Harry. ”
Liu Quan, who had witnessed all this in the shadows, wanted to applaud the old wizard.
He performed it perfectly, ten thousand times better than the idea she had come up with in a hurry at the time. His words almost blocked Voldemort's idea of wantonly killing the previous owner of the Elder Wand, and his last words were undoubtedly a brilliant hint when Harry finally had to fight Voldemort to the death. She could almost imagine that when Harry was determined to die, took out the Resurrection Stone, one of the Deathly Hallows, and saw his parents, Godfather, and Professor Lupin, he would remember what the old wizard had said to him in the Headmaster's office today, especially the last one.
In a sense, Dumbledore wasn't wrong. Moreover, it is indeed a key reminder related to the final outcome. He deserves to be the biggest backing and master of the righteous side in this story, and he can combine true and false words so well.
When Harry, thinking he had learned something important, left the Headmaster's office with a solemn and solemn face, Dumbledore turned to the corner and blinked.
Liu Quan walked out of there and admired with pleasure and sincerity: "You have indeed thought very well. I don't think there's anything I can ask of you anymore. ”
Dumbledore seemed to be in a good mood, and with his half-black right hand, he raised his wand and nodded, and a plate of honey candy flew in front of Willow Spring.
"I have to say that sweets are more enjoyable than teaching young wizards with great responsibilities, Professor Evans. He motioned for Liu Quan to take a few pieces of candy, and he sat back in his chair, his face relaxed, and his wise blue eyes rested on Liu Quan's face.
"Remember, then, my request to you, child. He concluded, "Love makes a man strong." May this powerful force help us to fulfill our ultimate desires. ”
