17. This is what to do
"I'm sorry Professor, I didn't really understand what you meant, you just mentioned Mephisto? But as far as I know, the Mephisto family is only Mister Sherlock and Asinsha in Hogwarts school, so there should be five people in the family, right? Harry was indeed confused by Dumbledore's words, he didn't quite understand why the Mephisto family had become the third largest force in the wizarding world, could it be that there were really so many people in this family?
"The so-called power is not divided by numbers alone, Harry should look behind you, for example, a ship, if there is no water, then the ship is just a piece of dead wood that is built but will never be used, after having lakes and rivers, the boat will play its own use, and people will often pay more attention to the ship after watching the waves in the water, such as the appearance or name of the ship, because the water is the same everywhere."
Harry shook his head blankly, confused by Dumbledore's words, and a little confused by what it meant.
Dumbledore took a sip of black tea and began to patiently explain, "Wherever there is water, it will naturally come out of the boat, because the water is gathered until it can carry the ship to sail on it, and this water can be seen as a force that has slowly gathered in the wizarding world, and that ship can be seen as a system or embodiment of power, such as the Ministry of Magic or the Death Eaters will always become a code name." ”
Dumbledore continued, "But what is really terrible is not the water that gathers, but the water that automatically gathers into its ship, such as Mephisto, which only stays on the dry riverbed, and the water that was originally underground, but was attracted by the boat and came out and dragged the boat forward, and I have seen this appeal twice in my lifetime." ”
Harry was stunned, the boat appeared where there was water, but where there was a boat, water naturally appeared, two different concepts.
"Twice?"
"Grindelwald, and Voldemort." Dumbledore looked at Harry Potter and said seriously.
It seemed that at this moment Harry understood the point of Dumbledore's words, Voldemort is like the kind of ship that sucks water autonomously, and such a person will make the people around him, whether voluntary or coerced, wring into a force wherever he appears.
"Are you saying that Mr. Sherlock is also converting to someone like Voldemort? Or have you seen Sherlock for what he really is? Harry was starting to get excited, as he had decided that Sherlock was the same type of person as Voldemort's school days the previous year.
However, Harry never let his guard down against Sherlock, although he did not mention his opinion to others, because Hermione and Asinsha had almost broken off their friendship with Harry.
"You have a great prejudice against Sherlock, Harry, but you should listen to the sincerity of an old man who has lived for more than a hundred years, your prejudice is superfluous, and it will get you into some trouble."
"Why isn't that, Professor Dumbledore, in your mind?"
"Of course not, I've seen two people become terrible demons, and both of them are related to me, one is my good friend, and the other is my student, although this person is not in the academy under my jurisdiction, and this is the one thing I regret the most."
There was a hint of self-reproach in Dumbledore's words.
"Is Sherlock now similar to Voldemort's student days? He has a strong appeal in the school, and there are organizations such as the Sherlock Club that are popular among students. ”
"But Harry, you're also a member of Sherlock's Club, and even if you questioned Sherlock, he still didn't remove your name from the club's list, and if this was Voldemort, even when you were a student, you wouldn't have a good time when you questioned him publicly."
Dumbledore continued, "And the biggest difference between Sherlock and the two of them is that Sherlock is not alone, he is not alone, his body is surrounded by the love of family and friendship, of course, I don't know if he is in early love, maybe if he has a girlfriend, he will add the love of a lover." ”
Harry thought for a moment, and finally nodded affirmatively, "Sherlock doesn't have a girlfriend. ”
"Perhaps." Dumbledore thought for a while, in fact, the fifth grade could not be considered early love.
"But no matter what, Voldemort is the kind of person who has been lonely since he was a child, and even the group he was with at school, including the later Death Eaters, did not treat them as friends, think about what the Death Eaters called him, calling Voldemort 'master'"
"And what about Grindelwald?" Harry asked suddenly.
"Grindelwald? That's right...... He did have a friend in the past, but later his friend did not agree with Grindelwald's beliefs and went on the opposite path, but in any case, Grindelwald's evil deeds were relatively minor compared to Voldemort's. ”
"Do you know why Bagman and Karkarov were so excited just now?" Dumbledore asked again.
Harry shook his head blankly.
"As I mentioned earlier, Mephisto has formed a very large force, and now there are rumors everywhere in the wizarding world that Voldemort is about to return."
"In fact, my scars are also aching, and I can still hear people calling my name hoarsely on the Internet, and I don't know if it's him, because I haven't met this person yet." Harry touched his scar and told Dumbledore the cry that had been weighing on his heart for a long time.
It is true that Harry has never met Voldemort once, in the Philosopher's Stone in the first year, and in the secret room in the second year, these two opportunities to disarm Voldemort in the early stage were interrupted by Sherlock.
"Harry, this is not a good sign, you can see it as an omen, an omen that Voldemort wants you to feel."
The black tea in front of Dumbledore and Harry was already cold.
"Ever since the Death Eaters disrupted the Quidditch World Cup, and the rumours that have caused wizards in the wizarding world to be under a tremendous psychological pressure, one born of fear of the dark lives of the past."
"You're brave, so you don't understand that pressure and fear, and when Mephisto's rise and Sherlock Mephisto's talent and strength appeared, combined with his personal prestige, it became a straw and a source of support for some in the wizarding world."
"You can think of Bagman as a member of the Mephisto faction, the Mephisto faction and the Ministry of Magic are different from the Death Eaters, they are all a special group composed of absolute resources, and they are nominally loyal to Mephistoma, but they do not openly declare this allegiance, and there may be many people in the Ministry of Magic and the Death Eaters who are biased towards Mephisto, because they all believe that there is only one person in the future wizarding world who has the right voice."
"Sherlock Mephisto." Harry uttered the name anyway.
"Yes, this is why Karkaroff feels that you can be a warrior of Hogwarts, but Bagman is firmly opposed to wanting to make Sherlock a warrior, and even gets bored with you, because Bagman is a biaser of the Mephisto faction, he is loyal to Sherlock Mephisto, and even wants to reflect his own value and role, and the loyal relationship between Death Eaters and Voldemort is not the same, Bagman and Sherlock can be seen as a relationship between idols and fans."
Harry bowed his head in frustration, "Then I think I know why Mr. Bagman hates me so much!" ”
The weather is getting cooler, the summer heat is gradually dissipating, and the early autumn cold is coming with a chill, and Sherlock has lived a fairly peaceful time, even if he has not become a warrior, but Sherlock himself does not care about this.
Even now, some people still think that Harry cheated, and some people made a move on the Goblet of Fire, after all, in terms of prestige and strength, Sherlock has too much advantage over Harry.
Therefore, it is really difficult for the supporters of the various houses to associate Potter with Sherlock, and even Gryffindor has to admit that as a warrior, Sherlock's image is simply a match for this title, and Harry has no trace of warrior qualities at all in comparison.
So there's a very extreme side to this, while the students of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang are fully supporting their Warriors in the Triwizard Tournament, Harry Potter is like a Hogwarts street rat, booing everywhere he goes.
Now even the Hogwarts school themselves are beginning to believe that the winner of the Triwizard Tournament this time must not be Harry Potter, and when the name of Harry Potter is spewed out from the Goblet of Fire, it means that Hogwarts has lost.
The Slytherin snakes now have reached a point of hatred for Harry Potter, but with Sherlock's suppression, they are not as good as Harry Potter in front of others, but if Harry accidentally meets a few Slytherin students in a remote corner, then he will definitely be taught a lesson.
Lupo even made a blatant bet between Krum and Delacul, betting with the others who would be the champion, and Harry Potter had long been ruled out by him.
This can also be seen as a humiliating demonstration.
Now even Harry's good brother Ron is at odds with him, and Harry has to endure the whispered taunts of his classmates during class, and every extra day he spends at Hogwarts is torturous for him.
To say that he inexplicably won the title of Hogwarts Warrior, but what he got was a torturous life, look at the warriors of the two schools of Durmstrang and Beauxbatons, living a life of admiration that Harry envied, but in Hogwarts ...... Well, to say it's hell would be an exaggeration.
Magical Creatures Lesson, Hagrid's Hut.
Malfoy's trademark mocking smile was still "Ah, look, guys, this is the Warriors." ”
Looking at Potter approaching alone, Draco lazily clasped his hands, "Do you have a book signed by him?" It's best to get him to sign quickly, I suspect he's not going to be here long...... Half of the Triwizard Tournament Warriors died...... Potter, how long do you think you'll live? I guess it was about ten minutes after the start of the first event. ”
"Come on, Malfoy, you should admit that you are jealous of Harry and envy him for being a warrior, right? Think about yourself, whether it's Quidditch or whatever, in what way do you compare to Potter? Hermione said sarcastically.
Someone finally stood up to speak for Harry, and Harry looked at Hermione with gratitude.
With a playful smile on his face, Draco shrugged at the Slytherin students around him, and the girls, including Pansy, let out a good-natured laugh, "Listen, listen, what she's talking about, Potter, the famous savior, the boy who never died, is so wronged to be compared to a little person like us, do you say?" Who doesn't know now that the most famous male hacker in the wizarding world has become a warrior at Hogwarts, and in the next step, I am afraid that he will also be the designated candidate for the Minister of Magic, how can such a big man be compared with civilians such as us. ”
At this moment, Harry's emotions were once again uncontrollable, his scars began to ache faintly, and the anger in his heart began to be uncontrollable, obviously he was also inexplicably chosen as a warrior, but he had to endure their cold treatment.
Harry said calmly, "Is it because Sherlock was not chosen as a Warrior and my name was chosen by the Goblet of Fire, maybe I finally found something that Sherlock is not good at......"
Harry's words were like a spark, igniting the emotions of the Slytherin snakes, and the Gryffindor students looked at Harry in surprise, and his words were like looking for death, especially in front of Slytherin.
"You guy is looking for death!" Draco pounced and scuffled with Harry, the two of them rolling on the ground, it seemed that Harry had also found a good place to vent his emotions, and when he did it, Harry was even able to suppress Draco.
"Come on, Malfoy chokes him!"
"Kill him!"
"Rip his mouth."
There were also a large number of Slytherin snakes trying to pounce on them, but Ron suddenly rushed up to stop him, still shouting loudly about who was pushing him from Gryffindor.
But the little lions all said no, but some seemed to see that this was Ron's pretending.
I just want to go up and stop them, or Harry will be crippled even if he is stepped on by this group of Slytherins.
"Enough is enough, stop, what are you all doing!" Asinsha drew her wand and pointed it at Harry and Draco on the ground.
"Frozen endlessly!"
