After destroying Ravenclaw's crown, Voldemort's Horcruxes were left with Nagini, but Sherlock suddenly told them that there was an additional Horcrux that had not been destroyed, much to Harry's concern, as he did not know the whereabouts of the other Horcrux.

"Mr. Sherlock, Voldemort is out there at the moment, he is leading his army, I think even if there is another Horcrux that has not been destroyed, there is no time to look for it outside in this case." Harry said anxiously.

Sherlock shook his head, "He's not outside, in fact, all the remaining Horcruxes of Voldemort are gathered at Hogwarts at this moment, Ravenclaw's crown, Nagini and the remaining Horcruxes are also in Hogwarts." ”

Sherlock's words made Harry's heart pound, and he thought that if he wanted to completely destroy Voldemort, he would need to pay some extra twists and turns, but he didn't expect that the remaining two Horcruxes were in Hogwarts.

"What is it? We're going to destroy it quickly. Harry couldn't wait.

Hermione and Asinsha were silent, for smart people, Harry's performance from the beginning, and the various connections with Voldemort, even allowing two people to peek into each other's minds, and Harry was always able to sense the peculiarities of Horcruxes, these were the most straightforward displays.

"May I tell you where the last Horcrux is?" An indifferent voice came in from the outside, and Snape, dressed in black robes and with a calm expression on his face, walked in from the outside, he was the headmaster of Hogwarts, even though many people in the outside world disapproved of Snape, but this was already a fact that could not be changed.

"Snape!"

"It's Professor Snape, Harry, and you might not think Snape owes much credit." Sherlock added solemnly beside him.

Snape pulled out a test-tube-like vessel from his robes, and his wand pulled a silver memory from his forehead, Snape was a master of Occlumency, and it was difficult for outsiders to peek into his memory.

But if it was Snape himself who showed the memory to others, it was definitely a 100% true memory.

"In the meditation basin in the principal's office, you use this to see." Snape handed the bottle to Harry, who was dazed by the memory that belonged to Snape, and Sherlock patted him on the shoulder and told him to do as Snape said.

"Could it be that the Horcrux is hidden in the Headmaster's office? Professor Dumbledore had already found the Horcrux, hadn't he? Ron interjected, apparently wanting to go with his good brother Harry.

"Stop!" Sherlock stopped him, and then looked around at the others, including Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin.

Even those members of the Dark Wizard Army who had already graduated gathered together at this moment.

Now that Hogwarts has become the base camp for the complete fight against Voldemort, the Minister for Magic, Phound Mephisto, has just arrived, and all the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic, except for those in special positions, have been called by Sherlock to all the rest.

The Daily Prophet urgently published that in the wizarding world, any wizard who is willing to fight Voldemort can come to Hogwarts.

The members of the Order of the Phoenix even arrived.

At this point, Sherlock is the spiritual and de facto leader of all wizards and wizards at Hogwarts.

"Harry's next thing is only for you to do, none of us have the right to interfere, you must remember that no one betrayed you, no one framed you, no one designed you, all this is trust." Sherlock said something that Harry couldn't even figure out to many.

But Sherlock knew that after a while, when Harry learned the truth, he would understand what he meant by what he had just said.

Harry made his way to the Headmaster's office, a place he hadn't been up to since Snape became Headmaster, and the last time he went to the Headmaster's office, he had seen Dumbledore's death with his own eyes, but today he had returned to the office that once belonged only to Dumbledore.

The old furnishings here are exactly the same as they were when Dumbledore was reborn, but Harry didn't think Snape was a nostalgic man.

None of the portraits of the headmasters on the walls are empty, and all the former headmasters are in the frame.

No one was missing, and Harry saw Dumbledore in the most prominent spot, and the old man looked at Harry and greeted him.

"I'm still wondering when I'll see you." Dumbledore took the initiative to speak, but this was actually just a portrait, maybe Dumbledore had prepared the portrait in advance in anticipation of his own death, but this portrait could not be 100% representative of the dead person.

The words spoken by the portrait are not as credible as 50 percent of the original people.

But sometimes the portrait can still give some reasonable advice to some people, otherwise the office would not be covered with the portrait of the headmaster on the wall.

"Snape gave me his memories, and he told me to use the meditation basin." Harry held up the vial in his hand to show Dumbledore, who pursed his lips after looking at the portrait.

"Something...... Mosaic, but Harry knew that the last thing Dumbledore wanted to say to you would have to be 'faith'. ”

Harry looked at the painting, Dumbledore had already left, he didn't know where Dumbledore had gone, maybe just in a corner of the castle, or outside, but Harry knew that Dumbledore didn't want to face himself at this time.

Harry struggled not to think about why, but his heart beat like a drum.

He had already guessed the outcome, but it took courage to see it with his own eyes.

There was no cowardice in the Gryffindors, and courage seemed to be Harry's last belief, just as the portrait of Dumbledore just said.

Harry poured Snape's memories into the meditation basin, which revealed Snape's memories, and Harry lowered his face into the basin, and for the first time he saw in someone else's memory that the woman in the vague memory was so close to him.

He saw the two of them when they were children, but the boy wasn't Harry's father, and he didn't even know that Snape had such an innocent past with his mother.

So the memories were like a marquee, and Lily and Snape took up three-quarters of the entire memory, until the end of the memory when Dumbledore appeared and Snape summoned the Patronus, and this memory was finally over.

It turns out that this is the truth.

Harry lay in the same office where he had thought he had learned the secret of victory, burying his face in a dirty blanket, finally realizing that he was not destined to survive.

All he had to do was calmly walk into the welcoming embrace of death.

Before he died, he had to cut off the little connection Voldemort had with the rest of humanity.

In this way, when he finally came to Voldemort without any defense, it would be a complete end.

He sat up very slowly.

In doing so, he felt his presence more strongly than before, and became more aware of his living life.

Why didn't he realize himself before...... Brain, nerves, and beating heart...... Is it also a miracle?

They're all gone, or at least he's going to leave them.

His breathing grew slow and deep, and he felt his mouth and throat dry, even his eyes.

Dumbledore's betrayal was almost nothing.

Now Harry finally realized that they had apparently always had a bigger plan, but he had been too stupid to find out.

He never even suspected it, and took it for granted that Dumbledore wanted him to live.

Now he realized that the length of his life depended only on the time it took to destroy all the Horcruxes.

Dumbledore left the destruction of the Horcruxes to himself, and he followed his instructions and continued to destroy the bond that bound not only Voldemort, but also the world!

How simple, how elegant, not to waste any other lives, but to leave this dangerous task to the boy who had already been labeled 'killing'. His death would not have been a misfortune, but another fatal blow to Voldemort.

And Dumbledore knew that Harry would not run away, even if he died, he would stick to the end, because he was already afraid of trouble to approach and understand Harry, didn't he?

Dumbledore knew, Sherlock knew, and Voldemort knew that since Harry had discovered that he could only stop it by his own strength, he wouldn't let anyone else die for him.

Harry couldn't help but think of what Sherlock had just said to him.

"Harry's next thing is only for you to do, none of us have the right to interfere, you must remember that no one betrayed you, no one framed you, no one designed you, all this is trust."

Yes, trust, perhaps Dumbledore already knew and believed that the boy named Harry Potter would have died generously after knowing all the truth.

Sherlock also knows the true outcome of all this, and after finally destroying all the Horcruxes, he will definitely turn the tide, and Voldemort will end his life at Sherlock's hands.

But Harry will also play a seventh of the contribution.

I couldn't help but smile on the corner of the boy's mouth again.

Perhaps on that night, my soul should have died with my parents and left this world together.

His soul was unexpectedly left in this world for seventeen years, for this last moment.

Sure enough, some people are born with a mission.

Is the ultimate mission to die with evil?

Harry thought of the snitch, a relic left to him by Dumbledore, and when he first came into contact with the snitch, it was his mouth, and he took the snitch out and put it in front of his mouth, and whispered.

"I'm ready to die generously."

The Snitch opened his wings, revealing a yellowed note that Dumbledore had kept after Harry's first Quidditch tournament and had written it that year.

"In the last moments, your steadfastness is great,

Darkness is not terrible, when you open your eyes and see another world,

Be bold and go forward, go forward, and you will see a light at the end,

The gods will greet you at the end, and I will be by the gods' side,

Those you miss will embrace you,

Many people you have never met before will have a welcome party for you.

At that moment you were the bravest man in the world,

Dumbledore, written in, 13 November, 1991. ”

Harry clutched the note in his heart, 1991 was the year he had enrolled, and in the middle of November it was Quidditch, and Dumbledore might have anticipated it when he captured the Snitch.

Harry walked out of Dumbledore's office with firm steps, he walked the stairs, and suddenly looked at everything around him so reluctantly, but there was no way, maybe Voldemort would be finished after his death, and he should be happier at this time.

Harry wanted to smile happily when he saw the others.

It was as happy as he was to see Voldemort's death.

"Brother!" Ron appeared in front of him, perhaps Ron wanted to hug him, but the two boys just looked at each other, Ron had already learned from Hermione the fact that Harry was the last Horcrux, and many people already knew the secret.

Including the members of the Order of the Phoenix.

Moody looked down at the crack in the floor, his MONOCULUS spinning restlessly, perhaps Moody wasn't seeing through MONOVISION at the moment.

Lupin and Tonks hugged and looked at Harry, who had intended Harry to be the godfather of their children.

Lupin and Tonks even thought that Harry would be able to help take care of their children if the two of them died in today's battle.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were on Harry, and Harry didn't know if they were looking at the boy named Harry Potter or at the humanoid Horcrux, but there was no fear in their eyes, but it was very comforting to Harry.

"Harry, you already know everything."

Sherlock walked up to Harry, and the wizards around him automatically split their ways.

"Yes, thank you Mr. Sherlock, at this last moment, I understood what my true mission was, you are right, all this is not betrayed, not involved, it is all trust, Dumbledore's trust in me, and my mother's trust in me, to you...... Your trust in me. ”

Harry looked at Snape next to him, he had so many misunderstandings about this man who was like an elder, and he would only know until the last minute.

If Harry had children, he would even have added the word Francis.

"We're going to destroy your Horcruxes as soon as possible, Harry." Sherlock said.

"Yes, I'm ready to die generously......"

"What? You don't need to die, just destroy the Horcrux in your body, and you don't want to kill you, why are you so sad? ”

Harry "......"

What about heroism?
