Chapter 22: Prelude to Separation
"Professor Liu Hong, can Hogwarts still keep you? Or can the wizarding world in Europe still keep you? I'll go check with the Ministry of Magic, but Professor Liu Hong, maybe it's time for you to go back to your hometown, you've already done your purpose, haven't you? ”
Sitting on the roof of the attic, Liu Hong looked at the sunset gradually setting in the distance in a daze. The sunset is infinitely magnificent, dyeing the scarlet color everywhere you look, like a dream.
But Liu Hong doesn't like this kind of beauty, or he hates it, and is afraid of it. This always reminded him of bad memories, although those fears seemed to him to be just a joke now, but he couldn't get rid of that emotion!
"Back home?" With a sneer, Liu Hong stood up suddenly, looked at the students coming and going under his feet, and said softly: "If it's just magic knowledge, I'm almost already learning, but there are some things I haven't studied enough!" Spells are only part of magic, although they are the best indication of a wizard's identity! ”
In addition to spells, the production of magic props and the study of mysterious creatures are Liu Hong's goals.
It only takes ten minutes from dusk to night, and after Liu Hong slowly returns to the library, the night has completely fallen.
"Was it under control so quickly? Worthy of Voldemort. Walking straight to the position and sitting down, Liu Hong smiled and said, "What's the matter with coming to me?" ”
"I'm leaving, Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has already been contacted, and it won't be long before I can officially announce my return!" Voldemort's high-pitched and excited voice sounded from the void, shaking the air around him and rippling: "Liu Hong, do you want to go to Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry with me?" I'm sure you know you won't be here for much longer. The people from the Ministry of Magic told me they had predicted about you again! ”
"Are they so sure it's me?" Liu Hong sneered, then shook his head and smiled: "Forget it, they don't need to be sure that it's me, as long as I'm similar to the person in their prediction." As long as I repay Dumbledore, I'll go to you. ”
Hehe's chuckling rang out, and Voldemort said, "Then I'm looking forward to it!" Do you need me to help you, though? ”
"Don't think I'm going to do anything to Dumbledore, I didn't do that!" Liu Hong's brows furrowed, and he said lightly: "I can't be great myself, but I definitely don't mind others doing it, that kind of person is always worthy of admiration, isn't it?" And Dumbledore is a man I admire, and when I say return, I mean nothing else. ”
Voldemort's laughter died down suddenly, and after a moment he said, "Does that show of hypocrisy make any sense?" ”
"Who called me a hypocrite?" Liu Hong replied with a chuckle.
"And what do you use to repay him?" Voldemort laughed again, "What's he missing?" What is needed? Do you know? ”
"He's a great man, how about giving him a peaceful European wizarding world?" Liu Hong turned his head to look at Voldemort's location and said with a smile: "As long as you don't get in his way, isn't his world very beautiful?" ”
"What are you going to do?" Voldemort's voice was wary.
The meaning of Liu Hong's words is too ambiguous!
"Don't worry! We are in partnership and I will not do anything to you. How about someone with a purer bloodline getting into Durmstrang, while a Muggle kid getting into Hogwarts? Liu Hong's words were accompanied by a deep murderous intent that permeated Voldemort's side, causing him to lose his mind for a moment.
Psychic spells! Voldemort suddenly came to his senses, but he immediately realized that this was different from spiritual spells. It was a pure feeling, and the manipulation of different spiritual spells hinted at it, more like a person's temperament!
But is there such a temperament? It can affect my temperament! For a moment, Voldemort, who was staring at Liu Hong, had an urge to release the death and petrification energy in his eyes, which was much more convenient than magic, and the damage was also huge.
Feeling Voldemort's tense and tense body, Liu Hong smiled: "Don't be too nervous! If you want to trade fairly, you and I must have equal conditions as a basis. I'm just showing you what I'm capable of. ”
Voldemort said coldly, "I think it's more like a threat!" ”
"If it's a threat" his eyes narrowed, Liu Hong released an almost useless momentum when he came to this world: "Then you only have the opportunity to listen!" ”
In a trance, Voldemort found that Liu Hong in front of him had disappeared! It is that the surroundings have completely changed!
It seemed to be surrounded by a vast and boundless ocean, with no sunlight or moonlight, only a dark and unfathomable water. Suddenly, the sea began to fluctuate, becoming more and more intense, and finally turned into a monstrous wave. A huge fish leaps out of the sea
"Think about what I'm saying. My collaborators. Liu Hong's cold voice sounded faintly.
The illusion in front of him disappeared in an instant, and Voldemort gasped rapidly, not caring that the illusion spell applied to his body was full of flaws in this situation.
"That's not a spell! That's definitely not a spell! Screaming frantically in the depths of his heart, when Voldemort looked at Liu Hong again, it was no longer cautious, but a panic. When a person can influence a person only by relying on illusory abilities such as temperament and momentum, how can it not be frightening?
"Am I going too far? If you want to get it and don't want to give up Ning Daochang, what you said is really incisive! After Voldemort left, Liu Hong looked around the library, where he had been for more than six years: "But it's not good to be ungrateful, is it?" ”
Vertical Sun, Dumbledore's private office.
On weekdays, there are almost no people in this office on the third floor except for Liu Hong, because Dumbledore is usually in the headmaster's office on the eighth floor, and if anyone else has something to do with Dumbledore, they go directly to the eighth floor.
And today, not only Liu Hong, but also Dumbledore, the master, also came to this office.
"I wonder what Professor Liu is looking for me?" The cramped environment made Dumbledore's brow furrow slightly. Keep in mind that Hogwarts is full of magic to prevent invasions, and you can't use magic like apparitions. Staying in this environment with Liu Hong, Dumbledore's sense of security can be imagined.
"What would you do if he wanted peace?" Looking directly into Dumbledore's eyes, Liu Hong said lightly: "The Muggle heirs belong to you, and the pure-bloods belong to him." ”
The hand holding the wand tightened, and Dumbledore narrowed his eyes slightly, "You got in touch with him?" Is this what he meant? ”
"Snape is a good man, so I didn't name him." Liu Hong's gaze turned to the wand in Dumbledore's hand: "But how long do you think he can hide it?" ”
The Elder Wand, also known as the Death Wand, the Wand of Destiny, or the Elderberry Wand. Legend has it that the Elder Wand was made of elderberry, which is the same as "old" in English, gave it the title of Elder Wand, one of the three Hallows of death, and possessed powerful magical powers.
"Don't try to use magic! It's too close, and you don't need apparitions in Hogwarts, so I'm sure I'll interrupt you while you're using your magic. Looking at Dumbledore, who looked abruptly on the side, Liu Hong said, "I don't know why you are willing to follow me to such a narrow and restrictive place, but since you trust me so much, I won't do it to you before you do it." ”
Dumbledore didn't speak, just squinted at Liu Hong.
"What's the Ministry of Magic's say?" Liu Hong walked to a position and sat down, which was the place he often sat when he came here to read on weekdays.
Sighing, Dumbledore looked around his office, especially the bookshelves, and then sat down opposite Liu Hong, and said in a deep voice, "The Ministry of Magic wants to keep you at Hogwarts, and they are worried that you will cause trouble after you leave. But I don't think you're going to get in trouble if you stay. He's going to be the three of you have something to do with you, right? ”
"Why don't you suspect that there are his people in the Ministry of Magic?" Stretching out his hand, a magic book was rolled over by Liu Hong with true qi: "I thank you for bringing me into Hogwarts, even if it was for other purposes, but I also got what I wanted, didn't I?" Alchemists are all about equivalent exchange, and even though I'm not a pure alchemist, I agree with this view. Pay to get what you get! ”
After opening the magic book and finding the page he wanted to read, Liu Hong said, "Now it's time for me to repay you, how is the peace in the European wizarding world?" His pursuits, you know very well. ”
"Power and power are his tools, and a long or eternal life is what he seeks." Dumbledore sighed, "But are those really his pursuits?" Death is feared by anyone, but "
Raising his hand to stop Dumbledore's words, Liu Hong looked directly into Dumbledore's eyes and said sincerely: "Don't despise a person's fear of death!" Maybe a long life is not his ultimate pursuit, but do you know his pursuit? To look directly at death is not to overcome it, but to live with it as an equal. ”
Squirming his lips, Dumbledore didn't say anything in the end, just looked at Liu Hong, his eyes were full of determination.
Shaking his head, Liu Hong smiled bitterly: "Okay, I know." I won't interfere with your decision, but there's one thing Harry Potter is going to Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to learn magic! ”
Dumbledore suddenly got to his feet, but immediately felt a pressure coming from his shoulder, pressing his already not very strong body back into his seat.
"No one can ignore something that could kill them." Liu Hong hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled: "It is inevitable that Harry Potter will go to Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, even if I ask for it, it will not work. Unless someone can prove that Harry Potter won't hurt him. ”
Staring at Liu Hong deadly, Dumbledore said in a deep voice, "What kind of peace is he wishing?" ”
"Will he wish it would be peace?" Dumbledore's gaze still did not back down, Liu Hong pulled the corners of his mouth and said: "Don't confuse my thoughts with him, peace is my reward for you." ”
