Chapter 65: I Seem to Have Been Lied
"What~!!" Harry jumped straight out of bed.
Dumbledore held Harry down, turned his head and sighed helplessly, "North, don't tease Harry"
Behind the candy pile, North poked his head out: "He doesn't have enough IQ, blame me, and why didn't anyone send me anything to my final winner"
"If you had come with them earlier, maybe your story would have been known," Dumbledore gave the North an idea, "Next time you have an adventure with him Harry"
The North rubbed his chin: Dumbledore, the old bee, is he prophesying after the future, or does he still want to find a bodyguard for Harry, it seems that he will not lose a lot of money, and he can continue to train Triangle and the pony.
"Okay, I agreed, I'll follow the adventure in the future, well, the collection card of the chocolate frog will also have a photo of me in the north"
Dumbledore pushed his glasses, "Actually, you can already get on the photo, it's just that the Chocolate Frog Company doesn't know if I should contact you"
"What"
"The heir of the Hogwarts founder family, the largest shareholder of Hogwarts now, the Ministry of Magic still owes you 1,000 gold bricks, don't forget"
The north clenched his fists, "Damn, I really forgot, let the Ministry of Magic pay back the money, first give me half of the rest and pay me back 100 every year, and finally give you 100 commissions, counting the reward for the position of shareholder you helped me win"
Dumbledore high-fives with the North "Okay"
Harry's three views on Dumbledore and the North were once again refreshed to a low point, and he stammered, "How can you be like this, this..."
The North rubbed Harry's head: "You're still young, you don't understand the adult world, and besides, Dumbledore asked for money and left a lot of money to you bear children, right?"
"I'm going to buy some socks or something, too."
"Yes, too"
The North and Dumbledore looked at the time and planned to leave, but before leaving, Dumbledore suddenly remembered and turned back to Harry:
"Mr. Ron Weasley and Miss Granger would have been relieved to know that you had woken up. They've been worried. ”
Harry was lying there, not knowing what to say for a while, and suddenly, Harry asked Dumbledore, "Sir," Harry said, "I've been thinking about it...... Sir—though the Philosopher's Stone is gone, ...... I mean, mystery man—"
"Call him Voldemort, Harry. Always use the right name for things. The fear of a name reinforces the fear of the thing itself. ”
"Yes, sir. So, Voldemort would have tried to make a comeback in some other way, wouldn't he? I mean, he's not gone, is he?"
"Yes, Harry, he's not gone. He's still hiding somewhere, perhaps looking for a body that he wants to share...... He wasn't really alive, so he couldn't have been killed. He was only concerned about himself slipping away, completely ignoring Quirrell's life or death; He is ruthless to his enemies and ruthless to his followers. But, Harry, you may just delay him so that he can't regain his strength right away, and you will need another person to be fully prepared to fight him to the death in the future—but if he is delayed again and again, he may never be able to regain his strength again. ”
Harry nodded, but quickly stopped, as it gave him a headache. Then he said, "Sir, there are some things I don't quite understand, I don't know if you can tell me...... I want to know the truth ...... these things."
"True," Dumbledore sighed, "it's a beautiful and terrifying thing that needs to be treated with extreme caution. I'll do my best to answer your questions, though, unless I have a good reason to keep my mouth shut, in which case I hope you'll forgive me. I certainly can't lie to you. ”
"That's right...... Voldemort said he killed my mother because she was desperate to stop him from killing me. But, then again, why would he want to kill me?"
Dumbledore sighed heavily this time.
"Well, the first thing you ask me, I can't tell you. Not today, not now. Someday, you'll know...... Don't think about it yet, Harry. Wait until you grow up a little more...... I know you don't want to hear that...... When you're ready, you'll know. ”
Harry knew it was useless to say more.
"So, why can't Quirrell touch me?"
"Your mother died to save you. If there's one thing Voldemort can't figure out, it's love. He doesn't realize that a love as strong as your mother's for you will leave its mark on you. Not a scar, not a visible mark...... Being loved so deeply by someone, even though the one who loved us is dead, will also leave us with an eternal talisman. It's hidden in your skin. It's for this reason that Quirrell can't touch you. Quirrell, full of hatred, greed, and ambition, sold his soul to Voldemort, and it would be painful for him to touch someone with such a beautiful mark on his body. ”
"And the Cloak of Invisibility - do you know who gave it to me?"
"Heh—your father happened to keep it for me, and I think you're probably going to like it." Dumbledore's eyes gleamed with slyness. "Very useful stuff...... Back then, when your father went to school here, he mainly relied on him to sneak into the kitchen and steal food. ”
"There's one more thing......"
"Just ask."
"Quirrell said Snape he-"
"It's Professor Snape, Harry."
"Yes, it's him—Quirrell said, Professor Snape hates me because he hated my father. Is this true?"
"Yes, they do look at each other unpleasantly. It's a bit like you and Mr. Malfoy. Later, your father did something that Snape would never forgive him. ”
"What's the matter?"
"He saved Snape's life."
"What?"
The north, who didn't leave on the side, interjected: "Old bee, you hide the story again"
Dumbledore winked towards the north: "Don't tell if you see through, and how do you know"
The north patted his chest: "I was known by the emperor for five hundred years and then for five hundred years, God calculates"
Dumbledore: "Then count me in"
North reached out and rubbed his hand at Dumbledore
Dumbledore asked the North, "What does this mean?" ”
"Take the money"
Dumbledore: "....."
"This is the rule, fortune telling requires money, this kind of sky-breaking thing is not given in vain"
Dumbledore took out a gold Galleon and handed it to the North: "Then you can do the math"
The North glanced at Dumbledore, and then at the equally strange Harry, and pointed to the candy pile on the side: "You'd better not try the beans for a while, I'll go first"
After saying that, the North ran away with the Golden Galleon, Dumbledore rubbed his head and whispered, "I seem to have been deceived"
Harry burst out laughing, but soon fell silent as he continued to ask Dumbledore, "How did I get the Philosopher's Stone out of the Magic Mirror?"
