Chapter 496: Change the Plan
"You let him live just so he could die at the right time?!! let him face the mysterious man, and when that man fires a killing curse at him, he can't protect himself with a wand, so he dies cleanly!" Blake shouted at Dumbledore's portrait. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"In order to be able to completely destroy Voldemort, you have to sacrifice, even if it costs your life!" Dumbledore said in the same calm voice as he used to, and when he said this, the frame next to it seemed to stand out even more, reminding people of what it meant.
At this moment, Harry sat unconsciously on the chair next to him, without saying a word, Hermione had covered her mouth since just now, leaning on Darren's arms, not daring to think about what those words meant, just crying silently, Ron stood in the room, his eyes moving back and forth between the portrait of Dumbledore and Harry, constantly opening and closing his mouth, but unable to say anything.
Not just Ron, everyone in the room didn't know what to say, and for a moment, there was silence in the room, and time passed minute by minute, until Harry looked up, "I see, Professor." “
He looked at Dumbledore in the portrait, "I get it, you're right, it all started that night, and now it's time to end it once and for all." “
Hermione finally let out a cry, sobbing more violently, and Darren understood her, because he also realized that it was a pain that was destined to lose a precious member of life, no, not only pain, but also despair, irresistible, irrevocable despair in the face of what was about to happen!
But...... "Harry, do you still have what I left for you?" Dumbledore opened his eyes and asked as Harry said that.
"What was left for me?" said Harry, pausing for a moment, fumbling in the leather pouch around his neck for a moment, pulling out a golden orb, the Golden Snitch.
He stared down at the Snitch, breathing heavily, and suddenly, Harry pressed the golden metal surface to his lips again, as he had done the night he first got the Snitch, and whispered, "I'm going to die." ”
In the midst of the astonished gaze, the metal shell cracked, and in the middle of it was a black stone with a jagged crack in the middle, and next to the crack, a triangle and a circle were clearly discerned.
"Looks like the book I left for Miss Granger didn't help you much," Dumbledore's portrait lowered his eyes as he looked at Harry's puzzled gaze.
Hermione hurriedly took out the book of The Tales of the Poet Bean from her pocket, "I've read them all," she said to Dumbledore's portrait, "I remember every story, but ......"
"It's not your fault that you're more capable of accomplishing tasks than I can imagine," Dumbledore's portrait shook his head slightly, "an explanation for the mistakes made by older people, because older people tend to think things according to their own experience, forgetting that younger people are better," he asked.
Moody looked at Darren, "What are we going to do now?"
Darren noticed Dumbledore staring with interest at what had just happened, "Since Harry has to ...... with the Mystery," he didn't say what would happen, "Well, let's just follow Plan 1-C, at least, before it's over completely." “
"1-C?" Professor McGonagall asked curiously.
"Part of the plan," Darren said casually, "then......" He was surprised to see that the expression on Moody's face seemed to be the same as that of Professor McGonagall, "We introduced it before?"
"Oh," Moody touched his chin, "I'm not too young, you know, and, it's easy to get nervous, so ......"
Darren's mouth widened, "I've said it three times...... "After glancing at the rest, he sighed, "Hermione." “
"Oh, wait a minute, let me, wipe my eyes again......" It seems that she has not yet recovered from what she had just done.
"'1-C' refers to the premise that Harry's arrival at Hogwarts was successfully delivered, but contact with the mysterious man failed'. “
"Why '1-c'?" asked Professor McGonagall.
"'1' represents the success of Harry's message delivery at Hogwarts, which is the first step in the whole plan, '1' means that Mysterio has received the message, '2' means that Mysterio has not received the message, and '3' means that Mysterio has received the message, but at the same time, a large number of Death Eaters have also arrived at Hogwarts, and there will be a large-scale war. “
"Why is '3' listed separately?"
"Because that's the trickiest situation," Darren had to explain again as the plan was executed, "'1-a' is the ideal scenario, meaning that the mystery man has received the news and comes to Hogwarts alone, and in order to confuse him, Harry has to meet with him, and then we can mobilize everyone to destroy him together and keep Harry safe; “
"What about 'C'?"
"'C' is the worst, everything is spotted by the mystery man, and Harry," Darren said, "after that, the plan will automatically go to '3'." “
“……“
"So, the current plan is pre-coded, it's '1-ca', which is to follow the plan of '1-c' first, but then follow 'a', and when the mysterious man casts the spell, everyone attacks him together. “
"Then Harry......" Ron said halfway through before he stopped abruptly.
"Wait a minute," Hermione said abruptly as she wiped her face, reaching for Harry, "I'll take a look at the stone." “
"Here," Harry was a little puzzled by Hermione's movements, placing the cracked black stone in her hand.
"I've seen the pattern on this," Hermione whispered, thinking about it as she looked at Dumbledore's portrait with a look of realization.
Darren saw that in the portrait, Dumbledore's portrait was also staring at Hermione, and after seeing the other party's movements, he blinked.
"Harry, take this," Hermione solemnly put the stone back in Harry's hand, and then whispered something in his ear, and the other party looked at the stone in his hand in surprise, and then the girl who had just spoken to him.
"Darren, you can't use '1-ca'," Hermione turned to Darren without looking at Harry again, "because then there's no guarantee that Harry will be able to get back safely from the mystery man." “
