Chapter 1383: Dumbledore's Private Tutoring
"Promise Hagrid to visit a giant or eight-eyed spider, which is why Ron doesn't want to come. As soon as the door to the hut closed, Hermione said, "We still have to explain to him, as if he really had something important to do." ”
"If that makes Hagrid happy, it's okay to go and see it. Evan said, "Go back quickly, I'm hungry!"
The crust cake just now was really unpalatable, too hard, especially after watching Hagrid's production process, hearing sad talks about Aragog's condition, and a large bucket of giant grubs crunching next to it.
Harry nodded in agreement, one of his back molars rattling ominously as he ate the crust cake.
So, the four of them actually only ate a symbolic bite, and now they are all starving.
"By the way, it's Saturday, you two should hurry!" Hermione said, suddenly remembering something, "remember? Dumbledore told you to go to his office at eight o'clock in the evening, and it's almost seven o'clock, so you don't have much time for dinner!"
Indeed, it was better for them not to be late, and the four of them quickened their pace through the dim, empty field back to the castle.
At this time, dinner has already started for a long time, and most people have finished eating!
There weren't many students left in the auditorium, Ron, Lavender, Ginny, and Colin weren't there.
Evan and Harry hurriedly finished their dinner, then said goodbye to Hermione and Elaine and headed to the headmaster's office on the eighth floor.
For Dumbledore's private tutoring, Harry looked a little nervous and distraught.
Evan was also a little curious, what was Dumbledore going to teach them, if it was those memories of Voldemort, he had already read some of them before, and he shouldn't be the same as Harry, Dumbledore should have prepared special content for him separately.
"Hopefully everything goes well!" Harry said expectantly, "is he really not going to teach us any magic?"
"It's been discussed before, I don't think so!"
"Okay, so his previous training was just to show you those memories?"
"Yes, but he showed me part of the memory, Harry, and there are some important clues about the past that will help us defeat Voldemort and find the Slytherin Treasure Key. Evan replied, "He's probably going to show us these memories today, I'm not sure if they're the ones I've seen before, but I think, well, I think these memories have a much different meaning to you." ”
"A different meaning?"
"yes, maybe these memories can help you understand that prophecy and why Voldemort chose you. Evan said.
After this, the two of them didn't speak again, and Harry seemed to be thinking about it.
In the last semester, he knew that his fate had been decided by that prophecy, but there were still many unclear things that needed to be answered by Dumbledore.
Evan and Harry didn't encounter anyone along the way, and they made it all the way to the place where there was a lone stone monster in the corridor on the eighth floor.
"Sour soda. Evan said.
The stone monster jumped aside, the wall behind it splitting in half, revealing a moving spiral staircase behind it.
They stepped up, swirling up the stairs in circles and upwards, until they came to the door of Dumbledore's office with a brass knocker, and the two men looked at each other, and Harry stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"Please come in. It was Dumbledore's voice.
"Good evening, Professor. Evan and Harry walked into the headmaster's office.
The round office looked the same as usual: the slender legs of the table were filled with delicate silverware, swirling and belching small puffs of smoke, and the portraits of the old principals, men and women, dozing off in their frames.
Dumbledore's magnificent phoenix Fawkes stood on a branch behind the door, watching the two men in with interest.
"Ah, good evening, Aven, Harry, sit down, you two look good. I suppose the first Monday of school must have been a great one, right?" said Dumbledore with a smile, his voice full of exhaustion.
"It's not bad, Professor, the class feels fulfilling!" said Aven, looking around.
"Don't tire yourself out, you still have a long time to learn. Dumbledore said happily, "How are you, Harry?"
"I'm fine too, Professor, thank you!" said Harry.
"Oh, but I heard you've taken a confinement!"
"Hmm......" Harry didn't know what to say, but Dumbledore's expression wasn't very stern.
The events of that day have been spreading in the school recently, and the heat has just passed.
As hateful as Snape was, he was still a professor at the school, and Harry had a great responsibility for doing so.
"I've told Snape that you're going to be locked up next Saturday. ”
"Okay. Harry said that his mind was not on Snape's confinement at all, and he didn't care about it at all.
"Evan already knows what we're going to do, I think, Harry. Dumbledore said, in a serious tone, "You should have heard some from Aven, but you must still be wondering, how am I going to give you, there is no better way to say, lesson?"
Harry nodded, he wished Dumbledore wasn't just showing them the memories of the past. Although Evan said that there was an important clue to this, and that it was related to the prophecy, Harry preferred that Dumbledore would have taught him a few more powerful spells, the kind of magic that could confront Voldemort head-on.
"Well, Harry, now that you know what prompted Voldemort to poison you fifteen years ago, I think it's time to let you know something. After a moment's pause, Dumbledore continued, "After all that has happened beyond my initial expectations, I think it's important to involve you and Evan in my plans. So, you also need to know a little bit more about what happened back then, and last semester, I promised to tell you everything. ”
"That's right, Professor!" said Harry, hard to get rid of the slightest hint of blame in his words.
After the events of the Ministry of Magic last semester, Dumbledore had clearly said so, but for the entire summer, he remained alone with the Dursleys, watching the others go on adventures or fight against Voldemort, and he couldn't go anywhere.
If there is no resentment, it is impossible.
But anyway, after learning more about Dumbledore's troubles, Evan was not as angry as he was before.
He knew it was protection for himself, even though he didn't want it at all!
