A well-thought-out plan doesn't have to be complicated, but it must be able to plug all the loopholes.

Peter and Crouch provided important information respectively, coupled with various accidents, which made Voldemort's plan change again and again.

These changes have also allowed possible loopholes to be erased little by little.

Even if Crouch's escape made William and Hermione guess that Barty Jr. was still alive, it would not affect the whole plan.

Therefore, it is important to have a good executor for a complex plan.

Barty Crouch Jr. is undoubtedly such a presence.

He was also a terrible genius.

When I was in school, I got 12. L certificate, the grade is not only the level of the top student.

He was no more than eighteen years old when he was arrested. In the past ten years, except for being imprisoned in Azkaban, most of them have lived under his father's Imperius curse.

After all these years, his magic level was much weaker than when he was eighteen years old.

But whether it was last year's Quidditch World Cup or the last time they met...... William can clearly feel that Barty Jr.'s strength is more powerful than many Aurors!

Also, Voldemort's original plan was to let Barty Jr. go to Hogwarts instead of Moody.

This was under Dumbledore's nose, and it was imitating a wizard that the Headmaster knew all too well.

Voldemort never underestimated Dumbledore's abilities, but he also dared to let Barty Jr. ...... There is only one thing that can be said:

He trusted his servant's abilities and thought that Dumbledore would not notice.

Is this what an ordinary Death Eater can do?

When William appeared at the cemetery, he heard Voldemort praise Barty Crouch Jr. on more than one occasion.

A wizard who could be appreciated by Voldemort...... William felt more and more that if little Barty continued to grow, it would be an extremely tricky existence.

This son must not be kept!

Just as William was thinking about how he could kill Barty Jr. instead of sending him to Azkaban after leaving the time loop, Dumbledore looked up and asked:

"William, is there anything else you don't understand?"

Since William hasn't left the time loop, it means that he has something unclear.

But William didn't ask a question immediately, but was silent for a moment before raising his head, staring into Dumbledore's eyes, and said softly:

"Professor, Harry is Voldemort's...... Horcruxes, right? ”

Dumbledore's lips twitched slightly, and he squeezed the handles of his chair with both hands, closing his eyes.

William didn't urge, for a while in the office, the silence was terrible? Even Fox stopped lamenting.

This 100-year-old man? Slowly opened his eyes and said in a low voice, "When did you notice it?" ”

Affirmation from Dumbledore? Although William is already mentally prepared? But there is still a hint of mixed emotions.

He sighed slightly:

"In the year of the secret room, little Tom in order to resurrect the queen? When he could obtain the strongest power, he sacrificed his soul.

Before the sacrifice? Harry 'volunteered' to sign a protective spell with Tom? Bear the damage of soul destruction for him. ”

Harry was willing to take the damage, and it had nothing to do with Tom, and it was impossible for Lily's magic to protect Harry from death...... But he didn't die unexpectedly.

It's weird, unless someone dies for him.

Looking at the black tea in the cup in front of you? William continued:

"Tell me when Harry wakes up? He dreamed that a baby had died, and he saw another baby appear.

Since then, Harry has been able to dream repeatedly about the fight between me and Tom.

Can he still see the scene of me killing Tom during the World Cup? and Tom drinking potions when he was looking for Horcruxes.

And his sight? Not from the perspective of a bystander, but Tom's. ”

William paused? Softly said:

"There is one more piece of evidence...... Harry, he's a parseltongue.

This magical talent is inherited by blood, but I checked it? Harry's ancestor? Although there is a marriage with Iolans Peverell.

But she's not a parseltongue herself? Nor did he bring this talent to the Potter family. ”

Eollans Peverell is the granddaughter of Ignotus Peverell, the third of the three brothers.

It was also from that generation that the Potter family inherited the Cloak of Invisibility, one of the Deathly Hallows.

The Potters did not inherit the Parseltongue of the Peverell family, the son of Lily and James...... It is impossible to have such an ability in any case.

Unless Harry isn't Jaime's son.

William said softly, "I thought about it for a long time, and I could only think that Harry was also Tom's...... Horcruxes.

Otherwise, there is no way to explain these things. ”

Dumbledore took a deep breath, and his tall figure was a little rickety for a moment.

He looked up at the window and said heavily:

"On the night Voldemort tried to kill Harry, Lily used her life to stand between them, and the killing curse rebounded back to Voldemort.

A fragment of his soul, blown away, attached to the only living soul in the collapsed house.

A part of Voldemort, living inside Harry, gave Harry the ability to talk to snakes and connect with Voldemort's mind. ”

"William, the baby Harry saw die, it was the soul that accidentally resisted the fatal blow for him." Dumbledore stared into William's eyes.

But little Tom was bounced off by his own death curse, and like Voldemort, he split his soul into Harry's body.

Then there will be a second baby.

Harry was not only Voldemort's Horcrux, but also Tom Jr.'s. ”

William was also speechless.

At that time, in addition to Harry, there were also William and Ron in the secret room.

But the shard chose Harry anyway.

Sure enough, people's physique is not the same from person to person.

He asked, "Then why does Harry's forehead hurt?" ”

Dumbledore had said before:

When Voldemort was near Harry, or when he had a particularly strong desire for revenge, the scar would hurt.

But William knew that this was not the deepest reason.

"I have a guess about that...... too," Dumbledore pondered for a moment, then explained, "Whenever a scar hurts, it's not because the scar itself hurts.

It is actually a soul fragment, seeking to reintegrate into the Lord's soul.

When Voldemort was near Harry, or particularly active, his desire to return to Tom's body intensified—the connection was always there. ”

William pondered for a long time, and then asked another fatal question that he had been thinking about for a long time.

"Professor, since Harry is Tom's Horcrux, does that mean...... If he didn't die, it would be impossible for Voldemort to die? ”

William: They have been destroying Horcruxes in order to finally destroy Voldemort.

But Harry is also one of the Horcruxes, so if he doesn't die, Voldemort will live forever because of his survival.

It's a dead knot.

Dumbledore turned his head, slightly avoiding William's gaze, and said in a sad tone:

"You've been asking me why you're building Harry's courage instead of teaching him magic to fight Voldemort.

I protect him, train him, nurture him, and let him hone his courage...... It's because I need Harry at the right time...... Have the courage to take the initiative to die. ”

William looked up at Dumbledore.

"Isn't there a way to stop it? Harry must die? ”

"There wasn't before, Harry had always been a mortal game, but now there is." Dumbledore's eyes flickered. "Voldemort created this opportunity with his own hands!"

William suddenly said, "Harry's blood? ”

"That's right!" Dumbledore bowed slightly, "Voldemort took Harry's blood and used it to reshape his flesh and blood!"

Harry's blood flowed in Voldemort's veins, and they mingled with each other, you have me, I have you.

He wanted Lily's protective charm, and he wanted that power.

Of course he succeeded!

When he was resurrected, his hands could touch Harry's skin without injury, without pain.

But Voldemort also made a fatal mistake. ”

Dumbledore's eyes sparkled.

"Lily's spell exists in both of them at the same time!

Voldemort's body made Lily's Talisman of Sacrifice never die, and as long as the charm remained in Voldemort's body, Harry would not be killed by him. ”

William narrowed his eyes and pondered Dumbledore's words, quickly understanding what the Headmaster meant.

Originally, Harry was a Horcrux, and as long as he didn't die, Voldemort wouldn't die.

It's a one-way process.

Now, because of the coexistence of spells, there is another situation: as long as Voldemort does not die, Harry will not be killed by Voldemort!

Well, there was a chance that Harry would survive.

And the only chance.

That's Voldemort taking matters into his own hands and killing Harry with a spell.

At that moment, it stands to reason that both Harry and the soul fragment would have died.

But because of the protection of the charm, Voldemort is still alive, and so will Harry.

It's just that the soul fragments have been shattered.

This process cannot be replaced by someone else, only for Voldemort himself.

William looked up at Dumbledore.

The headmaster seemed to know what he was thinking, and explained:

"I guessed, but my guess is generally not far off."

"But, in the cemetery, Harry is dead, Professor, not as you expected."

William's wand was raised, and the memory was drawn from his temple, which he threw into the meditation basin.

The meditation basin changes, and the scene after Voldemort's resurrection appears.

Here's the scene after William didn't interfere:

After Voldemort was resurrected, he forced Harry to fight him in a duel.

But Harry didn't have a wand, his wand was with Krum.

Voldemort asked Malfoy to throw him a hand, and the two began a duel.

Harry was no match for him, and the green light in Voldemort's wand flashed, and both of them passed out at the same time.

After a brief interval, Voldemort woke up, but Harry didn't.

Dumbledore looked at the meditation basin, muttered, tapped the five fingers of his hands lightly, and said after a moment:

At that moment, he was in a world between life and death.

Or return to our world, or go straight to the next one.

But Harry wasn't ready, he wasn't brave enough to die happily.

Harry chose to escape and chose the next ...... The result can only be death. ”

Neither of them spoke, and sat silently for what seemed to be a long time, before William asked one last question:

"Professor, what if Harry hadn't been prepared for it, and he hadn't had the courage to die after we destroyed all the Horcruxes?"

Dumbledore bowed his head and wailed, "Then Harry has only one fate...... Death. ”

The ring on William's thumb suddenly lit up, and the time loop was finally coming to an end.

As William was about to disappear, Dumbledore silently walked to the window and looked at the stars.

Harry was kept alive so that he could die at the right time.

Dumbledore closed his eyes, their sockets moist. Lips trembled slightly.

"I don't know, I can be like this...... Cruel. ”

……

……

(Ask for recommendation votes, big guys.)

Thanks to "a certain book friend A", "Taoist friend, please stay", the two bigwigs for the reward.

Explain why Voldemort obviously used Harry's blood, but Harry still has the possibility of dying, rather than necessarily living.

King's Cross Station, the deathly hallows in the last volume of the book, is well aware that Harry was hit by Voldemort's killing curse and both were unconscious.

Harry appeared in a mystical illusion between life and death. Dumbledore showed up to tell Harry that he wasn't dead.

He can choose to return to reality and eventually stop Voldemort, or board a train to "move on".

Ahead is complete death. Harry chose to go back.

So, Harry doesn't necessarily live, it depends on his heart.

To put it more bluntly, it's courage. ）
