CHAPTER XXXIV

Harry felt Dumbledore's hand grasp his arm again, and after a while, they were standing in almost the same spot, but no snow had fallen on the windowsill outside.

"Alright, Harry, what do you think of this short memory?"

"Voldemort said it wasn't his intention to call the Death Eaters?" Harry looked up at Dumbledore's face, "This qiΔ“ sounds like Richard. Silver can't get out of the relationship, why I've never heard you mention it before. ”

"Because the truth represented by this assumption is too horrific and unrealistic, Harry." Dumbledore whispered, "You're too young to understandβ€”"

"Nope." Harry excitedly said, "I'm not young, I'll be an adult in a few months!" Mr. ”

Dumbledore watched Harry silently for a long time.

"Do you believe Voldemort?"

"No, but I don't think Voldemort has to lie on this matter."

"Harry, are you starting to sympathize with Voldemort?" Dumbledore sighed, he paced to the window, "Of course, we can be sure that the formation of the Death Eaters did not all come from Voldemort's own will, but he himself accounted for most of it, otherwise he would not have become the Dark Lord." ”

"So what are the other factors?" Harry asked, "Like Richard. The support of a big man like Silver? ”

"Richard is a different story, Harry. Richard is a Gryffindor, and I know him well. He pursued something different from Voldemort, he simply wanted to get rid of the curse and want to live forever. Whether pure-blood wizards could regain their former status, whether wizards could re-establish themselves on earth, and how the relationship between wizards and Muggles would change was not in Richard's consideration at all. So Voldemort fell out with Richard when he was still a minor.

"What curse?"

"It's a very rare genetic disease, and it's hard to explain. To put it simply, when a Silver's hair turns from silver-white to blonde, his life is coming to an end. Maybe you've noticed the change in Richard's hair color in these memories you've seen before and after. Dumbledore said, "I think this should be a consequence of consanguineous marriages, and in order to keep the bloodline pure, pure-blood families tend to marry inbred most of them. ”

"Then Jack. Silver ......"

"He doesn't have this problem, he hasn't intermarried with purebloods since his grandfather's generation, and I think that's the best way to solve the problem." Dumbledore blinked, "Alright, let's get back on track and move on to Voldemort." ”

"Don't think you can sympathize with Voldemort, sympathy is the most extravagant emotion, especially for Voldemort, he has too many opportunities and conditions to go the right way, but hatred and evil nature make him go further and further - of course, I admit that the promotion of certain people in the wizarding world is also what makes him the climate."

"No, I don't sympathize with him." Harry's face flushed, and he quibbled against his will, for a moment he felt sorry for Voldemort, who had been so similar to him. β€œ

"It doesn't matter, Harry. Over the past few decades, there have been wizards who have been much wiser and older than you have been gullible with Voldemort, and I have shown you these memories in order to be convinced of some ideas. ”

"What do you think, sir?"

"Richard. Silver's Memory, Harry. Dumbledore said, "I believe Voldemort made himself what he is now, he must have received some great magical education in his early years, and if we want to defeat Voldemort, we must start with this aspect, we must at least know what he learned from Richard." ”

"But that's to ask Jack. Silver, this-"

"Richard is also an eccentric fellow in the Silver family, he is the only Gryffindor in the Silver family in a hundred years, and he has a bad relationship with several of his own sons. Silver wouldn't be too clear about his great-grandfather either. However, he had a good relationship with Professor Slughorn during his lifetime, and as far as I know, he gave Horace a memory twenty years ago - about his early memories of Voldemort. ”

Dumbledore continued, "I asked Horace if he wanted this memory, but he wouldn't give it to me, and I hope you can get it from Professor Slughorn to complete the most crucial piece of the puzzle." ”

"Professor Slughorn is very fond of young people with qualifications, and I heard that you are also very good at potions."

"Yes, yes." Harry hesitated, remembering the strange Book of Darkness, which Dumbledore would have destroyed if he had known it.

"Then Harry, I hope you can get that memory from Professor Slughorn as much as possible, we're running out of time." Dumbledore said, "The shape is becoming more and more uncertain now, and if we can't do everything we can to break the situation, then Britain, and even the entire European wizarding world, will usher in a dark age again."
