Chapter 495: The Last One
Led by Snape, the people made their way to the Headmaster's office, standing in front of the stone beast in the doorway, "Password? The statue said. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Dumbledore," Snape said, and as he spoke, the stone beast slid to the side, revealing the spiral staircase behind it.
"......" Darren saw that many people opened their mouths, but in the end nothing was said.
Walking into the principal's office, Darren found that it was the same as before, the walls were still covered with portraits, and even the desk had not been changed, but the small silverware on it was missing.
Snape walked over to the portrait of Dumbledore hanging behind the Headmaster's chair and said to it, "Dumbledore, it's fortunate that your wish has been granted, at least most of it. ”
In the portrait, Dumbledore heard Snape's words and moved, as if he had just woken up, "Severus, you know, I have a lot of ......"
"Horcruxes," Snape interrupted Dumbledore, causing a wave of displeasure with the portraits of the Headmaster in the surrounding portraits, but he continued, "they've gone far beyond their imagination and have destroyed all the Horcruxes you've told them. ”
Dumbledore's portrait seemed to take time to understand what Snape was saying, and it waited for a moment and looked at Harry, "Is this true?" ”
"Yes, Professor," said Harry, "you, after leaving, Darren found and destroyed the Ravenclaw Crown and the Hufflepuff Gold Cup, and the other day we eliminated Nagini, and according to what you said before, all the Horcruxes of the Mysterio were destroyed, and he is no longer indestructible, so ......"
"So we've gathered everyone and prepared for the final battle with the Mystery," Moody interjected, staring at Dumbledore's portrait, "but, he told us, that it was impossible, that you didn't tell us something, and that he knew about the Horcrux, as if you only told one Death Eater and four students who hadn't graduated from Hogwarts yet." ”
"Oh, Alasto," Dumbledore said with a wry smile, "it's more complicated than you think, so I didn't tell you. ”
"Well, I understand," Moody nodded, "you've always been right, and obviously this time too, but I have to say, after hearing them talk about finding and destroying those Horcruxes," he shook his head, "it's too dangerous, you put all your hopes on the four children, in case they ......"
"Professor," Darren began, "according to Harry, we've destroyed all the Horcruxes, but why does Professor Snape say we can't destroy the Mysteries?" ”
"......," Dumbledore looked at the people in the room, "Can you give me and Harry a moment to talk alone?" His gaze stopped on Harry.
"Humph!" Snape let out a sneer through his nose.
"Oh," Moody looked at the people in the room, indeed a bit much, "Okay, but hopefully you can hurry, time is running out right now." ”
"No!" Suddenly Harry said, "Until now, there are no secrets to tell me alone, everything is done together, especially Darren, who found the Ravenclaw crown from the Room of Requirement, and the Hufflepuff Gold Cup, which he took from Bellatrix in the Gringotts vault, without them I couldn't have done this, you can say it in front of them." ”
"And Moody, Black, Lupin, Kingsley, Professor McGonagall, they're all members of the Order of the Phoenix, and fought the Death Eaters, and I don't think there's any secret to hide from them, after a Death Eater knew about it."
After Harry finished speaking, the room was quiet for a moment, and everyone looked at him, "Thank you, Harry," Darren patted the other man on the shoulder, Hermione and Ron did the same, and the adult wizard nodded earnestly in gratitude.
Eyes returned to Dumbledore's portrait, "Professor, you can speak," Harry said.
Dumbledore stared at Harry for a few seconds before speaking, "Well, since you insist," it thought for a moment, "it all started the night Voldemort tried to kill you, and when Lily used her life to stand between Voldemort and you, that killing curse bounced off Voldemort, and a fragment of Voldemort's soul was blown away and attached to the only living soul in the collapsed house. “
"A fragment of a soul, blown away, the only soul alive ......," Ron muttered repeatedly, "what does that mean?" Hermione tugged at him, gesturing with her eyes not to speak.
"The only living soul in the house," Harry said equally blankly, "in that house, when the mysterious man cast the Killing Curse, everyone died, except ......" he looked up, his eyes filled with fear.
Dumbledore closed his eyes, but continued, "Part of Voldemort lives inside Harry, giving him the ability to talk to snakes, which can also explain why he can connect with Voldemort's mind, even though he is reluctant to do so. “
"But," Hermione said she didn't dare to say any more, for it would be a terrible result.
"Yes," Dumbledore still had his eyes closed, "Voldemort's soul fragment is attached to Harry's body, just like those Horcruxes, as long as that soul is not destroyed, Voldemort can't die, he's the last one." ”
Even though Snape hadn't spoken, Darren saw his face twitch a little.
"So, I'm ...... I have to die? Harry said in a hollow voice.
"And it has to be Voldemort himself, that's very important."
There was a complete silence in the room, and everyone was trying to make sense of what Dumbledore had just said.
Suddenly, Black cried out, "This can't be, Dumbledore, you must be mistaken!" He excitedly shouted at the portrait, "You told Harry that there were only six Horcruxes, and now they are all destroyed, there are no Horcruxes, no more!" “
Dumbledore didn't answer him.
"It can't be," Blake continued, "Harry has only himself in his body, it can't be...... No way...... I thought it was ...... Over the years...... You've always protected him, but ......"
"We protect Harry because we have to train him, nurture him, and let him hone his abilities," Dumbledore said, still keeping his eyes closed, "and at the same time, the connection between them is getting stronger and stronger, like a parasitic life that only death can really end all this." ”
"You let him live just so he could die at the right time?!"
