Chapter Eighty-Three: Selling Teammates [Thank You]
Dumbledore didn't react at first, to be honest, he was disgusted by Dudley's movements, if it weren't for the fact that Dudley was still lying on the bed, he would have wanted to have a friendly exchange with Dudley.
After coming back to his senses and thinking about it, Dudley said that something was not quite right, and he moved slightly so that Harry could not see him. He lowered his head slightly, and his eyes looked directly into Dudley's eyes through the half-moon glasses.
Dudley's mind fluctuated, and he sighed softly, not knowing what Dumbledore was going to do again, "What's the matter?"
"Do you know anything?" Dumbledore asked in his mind, he didn't know if Dudley knew anything, or how much, but he sensed that Dudley knew more than he did, perhaps from the old man's intuition.
"Don't ask me, I really don't know anything, I don't know, I really don't know!"
Dumbledore looked at Dudley angrily, really wanting to give him a brain slap, "Still acting, you can know that you are pretending by looking at your expression." ”
Dudley: "emmmm......"
The big guy can not only read his mind but also his face, and he can't even hide Dumbledore from the famous question.
"Old Deng," Dudley said earnestly, "at least not for now, for I'm sure one day, you'll know." ”
Dumbledore stood up on his legs and walked slowly to the edge of Dali's bed. Dudley was still in a daze, not knowing what Dumbledore was going to do. As a result, Dumbledore directly 'snapped' at the back of Dudley's head.
Uncle can bear it, and aunt can't bear it.
Dudley was almost angry with him, and he actually relayed to him what he had just said to Harry.
"Who are you?" asked Harry, confused, if he didn't understand why everyone was sitting quietly while Dumbledore was trying to beat Dudley.
"Ahem!" Dumbledore clenched his fist to his mouth and coughed a few times, his face flushed slightly, "There was a bug just now." ”
"Really?" Harry didn't believe the answer anyway, it was too fake. It's totally deceiving little kids!
Dudley covered the back of his head and glared at Dumbledore with a puffed face, "I know what I can say now and what I can't say now." ”
He was speechless about the stingy old man, and it was definitely a bad thing to tell him now, otherwise why would he have to give Harry a change just now.
If Harry had known the prophecy by now, he and Voldemort would only have one to live, and his mentality would definitely collapse, an answer he couldn't afford right now.
After the switch, Harry would be much less stressed, and perhaps he would forget about it for a while. After all, Voldemort has not yet been officially resurrected, and I don't know where he is hiding in it.
Dudley was about to speak to Dumbledore when Harry suddenly asked.
"By the way, why do Quirrell and Voldemort suffer so much when I run into them?"
"It's all because of your mother, who died to save you. If there's one thing Voldemort can't figure out, it's love. He doesn't realize that a deep love like your mother has for you will leave its mark on you. ”
Seeing Harry touch the scar on his forehead, Dumbledore shook his head and slowly continued, "Child, this mark is not a scar, but an invisible mark...... Being loved so deeply by a person, even though the person who loved you so deeply is dead, she also left you an eternal talisman. ”
He touched Harry's head, "This mark is hidden in your skin, in your blood. That's why when you touch Quirrell and Voldemort, they're in agony. How can a person who is full of hatred, greed and ambition and who sells his soul touch someone who bears such a beautiful mark on his body? At this point, he pretended to be interested in a bird outside the window.
And Dudley had already tilted his head to the other side, his heart envied Harry, he didn't get the slightest care from his parents in his previous life, he didn't even have a memory.
Although Harry's mother was no longer around, and even had only vague memories in his mind, Harry's mother had been with Harry in other ways.
Dudley patted his cheek and dispelled the thoughts in his mind, he didn't have it in his previous life, but he had it in his life, there was no need to envy him, and now he was very satisfied.
Harry took advantage of the moment to wipe away his tears with the sheets. When his mood returned to normal, Harry asked, "And the invisibility cloak, Dudley said you gave it to me, didn't you?"
"!" Dudley complained from the bottom of his heart, selling teammates to a little expert!
Dumbledore looked at Dudley deeply, he hadn't revealed to Dudley that he had an invisibility cloak, and that the invisibility cloak had been hidden by him. As expected, Dudley knew a lot of things.
He thought about it and didn't ask any questions, just like he also had a lot of little secrets, and he would always know when he should know.
"It wasn't me who gave it to you, but your father happened to keep it for me, and I think you're probably going to like it. Dumbledore's eyes gleamed with slyness, "It's a useful thing... Back then, when your father went to school here, he mainly relied on him to sneak into the kitchen and steal food. ”
Harry smiled knowingly, "I didn't expect my father to do anything like that. ”
Dudley's thinking was completely different from Harry's, it turned out that the invisibility cloak really couldn't hide from Dumbledore's eyes.
"One last thing......" Harry was a little unsure of how to speak.
"Just ask. Dumbledore said generously, having said so many things anyway, he didn't care about saying a few more inconsequential things.
If Dudley knew what Dumbledore was thinking, he would definitely have to complain about this bad old man.
"This ......" Harry looked confused, and after a long time of hesitation, he finally said, "It's about... About Professor Snape... Why would he save me... He didn't continue, although the professor didn't like him, but it wasn't good to talk about a professor like that.......
"You usually don't like you, don't you!" Dumbledore laughed, "Harry, your face really looks like your father." Actually, Snape and your father didn't like each other back then, a bit like you and Mr. Malfoy. ”
Harry was taken aback for a moment, he remembered what Dudley had said, "Is it because of my mother?"
Dumbledore glanced at Dudley, who was the only one who could say that to Harry, and he said quietly, "It's not all... The main thing is that your father did something that Snape will never forgive him - he saved Snape's life! Snape can't stand to owe your father such a favor, I think, he has tried to protect you all year long, because he thinks that by doing so, he can settle with your father, and then he can relive his hatred for your father with peace of mind... The human mind is always so wonderful!"
