Chapter 464: The Afterglow of the Sunset
Dumbledore's words made Harry fall into an ice cellar, and all the good things he had been looking forward to for the summer vacation came to naught...
"But... I have a godfather now, and Sirius is my family—" Harry stammered in defense.
Compared to the Dursleys, who treated him badly, Harry felt that Sirius was his true family.
Although they had only been meeting for less than a month, Harry could feel Sirius caring for him, something he would never have experienced at the Dursleys.
There it was more like a servant or a slave, living in a storage closet, and occasionally being scolded and starved, and bullied by Dali and his fox friends.
However, Dumbledore shook his head, shattering his illusions. "This won't work, Harry! To sustain this magic, you need to be close by blood. ”
"Then let it fail! I have the power to protect myself! Harry said angrily.
Harry couldn't stand life at the Dursleys anymore, and his uncle's family hated him anyway, and it just so happened that he hated them too, and as long as he moved out, no one had to worry about anyone...
"And Sirius will protect me, too, right?" Harry looked at Sirius like a desperate little beast seeking refuge.
Sirius nodded solemnly, he didn't want to disappoint Harry.
Harry immediately turned to look at Dumbledore as if he had gained courage.
"Ahh Yes, I believe that, but it's better to add a layer of insurance, isn't it? Dumbledore still stuck to his ideas and was unwilling to change.
Harry was eager to argue again, but Dumbledore's next words shut him up.
"The protective magic in your body is condensed by Lily's love for you, and I think she must have hoped that this love would accompany and protect you when she was away. Harry... You don't want to disappoint her kindness... Right? ”
Harry was silent, unable to say anything to retort, as if he had been crushed by a large rock, and recalled the scene in his mind.
Dumbledore keenly noticed the change in Harry's mood, and suddenly understood that his words had an effect, so he continued.
"I understand your feelings, Harry! But before you graduate..."
"Enough! Stop it! Harry shouted and interrupted Dumbledore.
At the same time, his shouts attracted the attention of the others in the tavern, and many of them cast their eyes on him.
After a while, Harry was a little overwhelmed and his brain was in a mess, and finally ran out of the tavern in a fit of rage...
Dumbledore subconsciously stretched out his right hand to stop Harry, but he was a step too slow and was dodged by the latter.
Ivan, who had been paying attention to Dumbledore the whole time, saw that the old professor's right hand was charred black, and he was wearing a gold ring inlaid with black gems on his thumb...
Except for Ivan, everyone else's attention was drawn to Harry, and he didn't notice it at all, Sirius chased him out as soon as possible, followed by Ron and Hermione.
"Professor, your right hand hurts?" After everyone else had left their seats, Ivan hesitated to ask.
Despite this question, Ivan already understood everything when he saw the ring and the charred scars.
Dumbledore was overshadowed by Voldemort's Horcruxes, and most of his life was short...
But how can it be so fast?
Ivan was stunned, he could confirm that it was because the same thing had happened in the original plane, but it was supposed to happen during the summer vacation after Harry's fourth year.
He was still hesitating about whether he should find a reason to remind Dumbledore to be careful of the Horcrux hidden in Gaunt's mansion when he was next school year.
I didn't expect that before I could make up my reasons, Dumbledore had already been recruited!
Ivan was puzzled as to why Dumbledore had been able to find the Horcrux more than a year earlier.
Could it be the butterfly effect caused by the destruction of two Horcruxes in a row?
Ivan frowned, and his originally leisurely state of mind was swept away, and it became very heavy.
Unlike Ivan, who was secretly anxious in his heart, Dumbledore didn't seem to care much about his injuries, casually deniing that he was only a minor injury, and it felt like he had fallen halfway.
"But it might take a while to get used to... to make my left hand more flexible..."
At this point, Dumbledore's expression became distressed, and it would be difficult for a person who was used to using his right hand to suddenly switch to the other.
"Well... You're fine! Ivan responded very perfunctorily, looking at the white-haired old professor in front of him, and his heart was mixed.
Since the first year summer vacation, after the misunderstanding of Althea was resolved, the person he was most wary of was Dumbledore!
After all, with his strength, in the face of others, even strong professors such as Snape and McGonagall, he has the confidence to fight!
No matter how bad it is, you can successfully escape...
It was different when facing Dumbledore, and Ivan could only feel a deep powerlessness.
Every time they meet, even if the other party doesn't mean anything about him, he can feel the pressure of the other party.
Ivan knew very well that if he fought Dumbledore, there would be no chance of victory!
The most important thing is that for a person like him, who has many secrets, Dumbledore's soul extraction is like a nemesis, and it is impossible to be too guarded...
However, when he learned that the greatest white wizard was running out of time, Ivan's first reaction was not to breathe a sigh of relief, but to panic!
If Dumbledore is dead, then who will contain the Ministry of Magic? Who goes against Voldemort?
It's messed up... Everything is messed up...
Ivan became a little distraught, and Dumbledore saw something unusual, so he excused himself to check on Harry's condition and turned to leave the Three Broomsticks Bar.
After heading out, Ivan watched the distant sunset slowly sink into the horizon as if it had exhausted its last rays, sighed deeply, and took out a glittering gold badge from the pocket of his wizard's robe.
Although Ivan didn't know what kind of contradiction Dumbledore had with his mother Aisya, if you look at it from the past few years alone, the old professor is still very good to him, and this second-class Merlin Medal is still an exceptional application for himself by the other party.
Ivan couldn't help but feel a little sorry, if he could, he would like to help.
It's just that with that kind of injury, even Dumbledore, the strongest man in the wizarding world today, and the magic master Snape can't do anything, what can he do as a little wizard?
