When the adventure team suddenly cooperated to take control of Professor McGonagall, Snape, on the other side, carried out the original plan without knowing anything.

As he said, let Harry Potter face his fate.

In this castle, which suddenly became cold and solemn, he dragged the protagonist Harry with one hand, walked slowly, ignoring the awe-inspiring gaze of the same Death Eaters around him, and came to the outside of the corridor on the fourth floor, and finally opened a half-hidden door.

In the original story, the interior of this corridor room is the secret passage that leads to the basement where the Eris Magic Mirror is stored. In order to prevent the Philosopher's Stone from being stolen, the teachers of the six subjects of Hogwarts have each blessed their own protective means, but in the final stage of the first part, the six layers of interlocking defenses did not stop Voldemort's possessed Rocky, but the protagonist Harry's trio who came later suffered a lot.

However, these six carefully prepared serial traps were originally intended to stop the weak thieves and curious students, and their vigilance was more important than killing the surname, so it was naturally impossible to block the Death Eaters who came like a tide, so in this mission world with very different developments, it also did not play any role, and it was completely cracked.

In the uppermost room, the three-headed dog Louway, who had been tamed by Hogwarts ranger Hagrid the giant, guarded the movable door panel leading to the underground passage. However, by the time Snape and the others stepped into the door, the hideous and faithful beast had long since lost its life, and on the carpet wet with dark red blood, the huge demon dog maintained a curled posture and spread out on it, its eyes bulging outwards and its limbs were limpable, and when the two of them stepped over it, they could clearly hear the slight "click" of bones shattering under the fluffy hair.

Obviously, the bones of this giant beast's whole body had been shattered, and the limbs of its body were tightened inch by inch by the brute force from outside, and then it suffocated to death.

And in the next ten meters up and down the underground passage, there was originally a layer of fine devil network, this kind of large net that looks like hundreds of vines, with the unique biological senses of plants, can see through any stealth and visual deception, enough to strain the bones of anyone who tries to pass, but after a huge magic flame, at this time, on the wall of the passage, there are only a handful of black ash powder left, without encountering any obstacles, the two of them walked silently all the way to the door of the secret passage below.

Immediately followed by the open door of the basement, and the hall behind, where the wizard's chess array was originally placed, was full of large broken stone sculptures, apparently the Dark Lord who was in a hurry to pass through had no interest in playing chess at all, and directly destroyed these animated chess pieces by violent means, and after passing through the hall, it was the unconscious troll that fell to the ground, and then, without any obstruction.

At this point, the two finally came to the end of the passage.

In the empty hall of more than 100 square meters, there is no decoration and scenery, it is all spotless pure white, and in the center of the hall is a wide square mirror three meters high, and in front of the mirror, there is a figure standing like the original book, of course, it cannot be the dead Quirrell, but a short and fat figure.

"Hmm......" At this time, Harry Potter, the protagonist next to Snape, suddenly covered his forehead, let out a painful moan, and gradually woke up. And the figure with his back to the two of them, as if he had sensed it, turned his head, revealing a hairless and bearded, wax-like facial features.

"Hey, isn't this our Mr. Savior?" The extremely abstract face showed a pleasant smile, and said in a hoarse and cold voice: "This grand performance needs your appearance." ”

As he spoke, the man turned his head to look at Snape, who was silent on the side, and said coldly: "Severus, your mission is over, now, you can go." ”

Hearing this merciless reprimand, the Potions Master's face turned ugly, but he still lowered his head and obediently exited the room, leaving only the two of them.

"Are you...... Voldemort? At this time, Harry Potter gradually adapted to the burning pain of the scar on his forehead, although he was a little groggy, he roughly understood his situation, and he did not panic, but gritted his teeth and asked: "Snape is really a villain who does things for you, are you going to kill me?" ”

"How is that possible?" The villain, who occupied the new body, was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "On the contrary, I want to protect you and let you live safely forever, because ......"

"You are my life-saving talisman......"

Saying that, the Dark Lord, who was a little happy to grasp the situation, was not in a hurry to make a move, but kept talking about his experience, and even more. From his abandonment by his biological father when he was a teenager, bullying in an orphanage, to being brought to Hogwarts by Dumbledore, and finally growing up to be a wizarding demon under the influence of the theory of blood, and the most thorough explanation is the secret connection between him and Harry Potter, as well as the magic principle of Horcruxes splitting souls, although he did not point out the number and location of his Horcruxes, but focused on the strange identity of Harry's "Living Horcruxes".

"So...... My brother, I will never hurt you, because as long as you are alive, no matter how many times you are killed, I will not die completely, and Dumbledore and they mistakenly think that you are my nemesis, but they do not understand that you are actually the born son of Voldemort! Speaking of which, the Dark Lord with a deep city finally revealed his purpose when the protagonist was excited to learn the truth.

"So...... Harry, think about it, what if Dumbledore and the others knew the truth, would they trust you like that? Think about it...... The Death Eaters who die in Azkaban every year, they are just my unworthy subordinates, they are tortured, life is worse than death, so how will you, as the one who protects my life, be treated? ”

The eleven-year-old boy was silent for a moment, then asked with difficulty, "What exactly do you want me to do?" ”

Voldemort, who had succeeded in his self-deception, smiled slightly, turned around, pointed to the smooth and shining square mirror, and said softly, "Look...... All I have left is a shadow and a cloud of steam, and if it weren't for my subordinate Peter Pettigrew, I wouldn't even have a body to protect you, and in this mirror, there is a Philosopher's Stone, which can give me a whole new body, and now...... Harry, only you can take it out, and for the future, all you have to do is take a step forward, face the mirror, and hand me the Philosopher's Stone. ”

The black-haired boy with the scar looked up and said in confusion, "Philosopher's Stone...... Can it really resurrect people? ”

"Even magic can't defeat death and resurrect those who have disappeared," Voldemort shook his head, his voice drifting unconsciously, "but it can give those souls who are hovering between life and death, but not really dead, a new body, a chance to return to this world." ”

"I see......" Harry Potter nodded flatly, with a resolute look, "You killed my parents...... I will never help you, since as long as I don't die you will live forever......"

"Then, let's all die together!"

As he spoke, the boy, who had been keeping his head down, suddenly pulled out a short dagger with silver glitter from his bosom under Voldemort's angry gaze, and stabbed it directly into the soft part of his chest.

If it weren't for the rainbow-like seven-colored streamer, which turned into a gurgling water-like substance, it swept away the dagger in his hand like a ribbon at that moment.

The tide of colored light curtains then scattered into the sky and the particles of light fell down, and the black-haired boy only felt his shoulders sink slightly, and a broad and white palm slapped on his body, and then a gentle voice sounded from behind.

Harry...... Sacrifice, though a virtue, is a devotion of love, not of despair. This kind of thing, let's let an old man like me do it. ”

The old magician, with white hair and a long beard, walked out of the mirror with a kind smile.

Dumbledore, who was supposed to be thousands of miles away, suddenly appeared in front of the two.

Tom ...... Long time no see," the old man with squinted eyes smiled happily, looked at the Dark Lord on the other side, who had retreated to the door at some point, and suddenly said softly: "Tom, if you just leave, who will I give this little thing to?" ”

The man who was about to flee heard this, his footsteps stopped at the door, but he couldn't move anymore, he just looked greedily at the old man's outstretched palm, stared at the blood-red oval stone on the palm, and made a dry buzzing voice: "You can't kill me, Dumbledore, no matter how many times you defeat me, it's just for me to be born again......"

"Again weakly hiding in a clammy corner, possessed by rats, insects and ants to survive? And then, like the past twenty years, I have been shattered again and again, until the power of the Death Eaters is completely gone, and there is no longer a body willing to let you live together? Dumbledore shook his head and smiled.

"I can wait...... As long as the Horcruxes are immortal, I will never die, but you, unable to escape the passage of time, will eventually turn into a pile of dry bones! ”

"So I borrowed Mellor's Philosopher's Stone, and I can live for a long time, and as long as you exist for a day, I can watch over you," said the old man, who smiled and said, "Think about it, this time you have exposed all the remaining power of the Death Eaters, even if you can escape, but this last Philosopher's Stone will never reach you, and the former Dark Lord can only remain in a cloud of steam forever and be tortured, which is really pitiful." ”

Having said this, Dumbledore changed his words for the next moment: "Tom...... Voldemort, if you really want to come back to life, then take this Philosopher's Stone, give up those Horcruxes, regain your true body, and have a dueling of honor with me as a wizard, and those who survive will have a future. ”

Voldemort was taken aback, and suddenly realized the idea of this old enemy, and said in a daze, "You don't want to live anymore?" ”

And this kind of brainless swear words that seem to insult the surname have not been denied by the old man opposite.

"Worthy of being my most proud student," Dumbledore was stunned for a moment, but showed a complicated expression, holding the Philosopher's Stone with his backhand, and his voice fell far away: "Tom, admit it or not, our time has passed. The talented Muggle man you believed in had been proven to be a mistake forty years ago. Forty years later, the Muggle world has become more prosperous and changing. And the British wizarding world, however, remains the same, still living in your shadow, no...... It's living in my shadow. ”

The old man showed a tired look, and the old man's voice rose slowly: "The world is always changing and advancing, but people will only live in the years when they grew up. Many times, I always like to remember when I was younger, Lilith, my sister, that lovely girl, who died at my hands seventy years ago, and my lover Greenwald, even known as the greatest dark wizard, was dying of old age and no longer the high-spirited boy. ”

"The wind and rain of these decades are like a long dream. Sitting in the Headmaster's office at Hogwarts, I felt as if I was still in that vanished past, I had seen Muggle phonographs, but I could not understand the current telephone, and I had been on a steamer, but I could not believe the plane that glided through the sky...... New things are always emerging, children are always growing up, but my mind has long been fixed, and no matter how hard I try, I can't keep up with this era. As long as I'm here, whether I want it or not, Hogwarts will always be the same as it was a hundred years ago, because I, a bad old man, don't know how to make it young, a hundred years ago, we watched Muggles in horse-drawn carriages to and from market towns, and laughed at their clumsiness and sluggishness, and now, even the most advanced flying broomsticks can't match Muggle rockets. ”

"I have met the Nicolmels, who live in an eternal castle, who always taste the food and fashion of centuries ago, who dare not and cannot touch everything in the outside world except these things that have long been abandoned by the world, and who have nothing but eternal life, and life is better than death. Even if wizards can stay forever healthy**, their hearts cannot last as long as diamonds, and those treasures of memories are the destination of a person's soul. Tommy, since I made your mistake with my own hands, let me end you once and for all while I am still alive......"

As he spoke, the old man was like a lion in his twilight years, spreading out the philosopher's stone in his hand, his eyes lowered, and he said lightly: "I originally wanted this child Harry to complete his mission, but the situation between the Forbidden Forest and you just now told me that he is still too young and needs time to grow, but I can't wait...... You can choose to lurk again, then I will also choose to use the Philosopher's Stone to immortalize and bind you, and now that the Death Eaters have been completely destroyed, you have lost your only chance to make a comeback, and the next thing is only eternal torment. ”

Voldemort was silent for a moment, this demon king who had set off a dark age, finally showed the courage to live up to this body, and sneered: "You want to resurrect my body with the help of the Philosopher's Stone, so that all the Horcruxes will be invalid because of the resurrection, and once again completely destroy me, but why don't I want to completely knock you down head-on?" ”

As he spoke, the man turned around and walked back, saying, "Don't worry...... Albus, when you are dead, I will rule the wizarding and Muggle world once and for all, and perhaps, as you say, since my time is over, then let me destroy their future and make my will the only thing! ”

Just in the next second, a third cold voice suddenly sounded: "It's a pity...... You can't get it. ”

At the same time as this voice, there was a burst of orange-red light.

Blood splattered, clutching the wand's arm, which was cut horizontally by the plane of light of the blade, and the short staff that flew in the air was cut back and forth by the orange-red light that followed before it landed on the ground, and finally turned into a few pieces of shards in the sky.

The source of the red light was the unsuspecting eyes of the boy who should have been hit by the unconscious spell behind him.

The white-haired wizard, who had lost his right hand, turned his head in a daze.

The black-haired boy slowly transformed, rising and expanding, and finally turned into a teenager's figure.

………………………………………………

（ps：

In recent days, I have repeatedly revisited and scrutinized the original book, but I vaguely realized that at least in the first story, Dumbledore has been secretly creating opportunities for Harry Potter to face Voldemort alone.

The "accidental" encounter in the Forbidden Forest happened just after the accident in the Forbidden Forest. There was no danger in letting Harry enter the Forbidden Forest alone, and after he met Voldemort and fainted, he was immediately rescued by the men who came later.

And the so-called "Six Guardians" are even more ridiculous, the wizard chess is to trip Ron, the potion is to keep Hermione, and the remaining four means seem dangerous, but none of them are deadly, obviously it can't be to stop Voldemort. The final result was just to prevent Voldemort from accidentally injuring other students and directly confronting the fateful enemy Harry Potter.

Of course, this may be the old man who wants to confirm the prophecy of "Harry Potter defeats Voldemort", to see what magical power Harry Potter has, and when Harry Potter shows his ability, he will wait patiently, but if there is no special plug-in of the protagonist's aura, I think that this old man who smiled and joked about his death in the future actually hopes to jump out and resurrect this old devil who hinders the progress of the times, and then die together.

"Where the treasure is, the heart is" - the world is always changing, and the human heart lives only in the time and place it loves.

The epigram that Dumbledore himself chose to inscribe on the tombstone is, in my opinion, so.
