"It wasn't until last year that you entered the labyrinth, and you, along with Verlin, saw Voldemort return, and you two escaped in a thrilling way...... I still haven't told you, though I know that Voldemort has returned by then, and that I must do it soon, and now, tonight, I know that you have long been ready to know, that I have kept this secret for too long, for you have proven that I can give you this burden. My only statement is this: I want you to try to carry a heavier burden than all the students who have come out of this school, including me—the greatest of all. ”

Harry waited in silence, but Dumbledore didn't continue.

"I still don't understand. Or rather, why not Vanlin?" Harry asked, glancing at Vanlin, who was curled up in his chair beside him.

"Because I wasn't chosen. "It's Voldemort's own choice, or...... Anyway, Harry, just listen to Professor Dumbledore. ”

"Voldemort tried to murder you when you were still a baby because of a prophecy shortly before you were born. Although he did not know the details of the prophecy, he knew that there was such a prophecy, and he believed that this prophecy could be fulfilled and thus went to kill you, and after the price of defeat he found out that he was wrong, so, when he regained his body, especially after you escaped from him again last year, he was determined to know what the prophecy was all about, and this was the weapon he was trying to find when he returned, the knowledge of how to kill you. ”

The sun has now fully risen. Dumbledore's room was bathed in sunlight, and the glass box where the Sword of Goranffindor was stored shimmered white and transparent. Fragments of the silver instrument that Harry had thrown to the ground shone like droplets, and beside him, Little Fox murmured in its ashes.

Everything seemed hopeful, but Harry's heart was gloomy.

"The ball of prophecy is shattered," Harry said somewhat numbly. "When facing Voldemort, Van Lin and I couldn't keep him, so I smashed it. ”

"You're doing a good job, Harry, and what's broken is just a record of prophecy kept in the Department of Mysteries, and the prophecy was made by someone, and one can recall it perfectly when you hear it. ”

"Who heard?", Harry asked, though he thought he already knew the answer.

"Me!" said Dumbledore slowly, "one cold, damp night in the seventeenth year, in a room at the Hog's Head Bar, I went there to see a man who had applied to be a professor of prophecy. The great-great-great-great-granddaughter of a very gifted prophet, so I thought it would be more polite to go and see him, I was disappointed, it seemed that she did not inherit this genius, I told her, I hope to be polite, I don't think she is suitable for the position, I turned away. ”

Dumbledore stood up and walked past Harry to the elevated cabinet where Fawkes was standing, he bent down and took out a stone basin, just like Harry had seen his father from Snape, Dumbledore walked back and put the stone basin on the table, then took out his wand and pointed it at his temple, took out some memories from it and put it into the stone basin, he sat back at the table and watched the silver light flow from the memory basin in front of him, and then he used his wand again to remove the silver mist from it, and the image was shown from it- Her eyes were wide behind her glasses, and she slowly rotated, her feet in the basin.

However, when Sybil Troney spoke, her voice was not as vague and mysterious as she usually was, but as rough and hoarse as Harry had heard before: "The man who will destroy the Dark Lord is approaching...... Born into a family that had defeated him three times, at the end of the seventh month...... The Dark Lord will mark him as his rival, but he will have powers that the Dark Lord does not have...... And one of them must die at the hand of the other, because while one survives, the other cannot survive...... The man who has the power to destroy the Dark Lord was born at the end of July......

Professor Trauney slowly swirled back behind the screen and slowly vanished.

The room was very quiet. Harry, Van Lin, Dumbledore, and all the portraits made no sound, even Fawkes was silent.

Verlin had always thought that this prophecy was made by Dumbledore and Sybil, a trap to lure Voldemort, and it seemed that the goddess was in a state of affairs......

Sure enough, this was not exactly a trap, Harry was the man Voldemort was destined to be, and Dumbledore had long known this, it was nothing more than a choice, just the inevitable result of going down.

"Professor Dumbledore?", Harry said calmly, and Dumbledore, still seemingly lost in his memory, "he means...... What does he mean?"

"It means ......," said Dumbledore, "that the only person who could conquer Voldemort was born at the end of July of the nearly sixteenth year, and that the child's parents had challenged Voldemort three times. ”

Harry felt something approaching him, and his breathing became difficult again. "That's right...... Me?"

Dumbledore examined him through his glasses for a moment. "Strangely, Harry," he said softly, "it may not be you at all." There are two boys who live up to Sybil's prophecy, both born in July, and both of whom are members of the Order of the Phoenix, and both of whom have escaped Voldemort's hands three times, one of course is you, and the other is Neville Longbottom. ”

The scene calmed down suddenly, and Neville ....... Yes, Neville also meets all the ingredients to defeat Voldemort, but ......

Bellatrix destroys Neville, destroying the spirit of the Longbottoms, as well as destroying some of Neville's things.

The courage to resist?

At least not Neville now, but what if it's a few years from now?

Perhaps, if Harry fails, Neville will be a good replacement.

"And after that...... Why is my name written on the prophecy orb instead of Neville?" Harry continued, and in fact, this was exactly what Harry didn't understand.

The chosen one, why must it be him, and standing it seems, Van Lin can do better than him, and there is Neville...... Oh, of course, it's definitely not going to work for Neville to come now.

"The official Ministry of Magic records have been revised after Voldemort attacked you as a baby!" Dumbledore said lightly, "To the Prophecy Hall, it seems clear that Voldemort will only kill you, because he thinks you are the child that Sybil predicted." ”

"So...... Maybe not me?" said Harry, in fact, Harry had been patient with Voldemort for long enough, and the pressure had taken him breathless, especially since Van Lin and Hermione had left Hogwarts, and everything had to be decided by himself, including a portion of Ron's share.

"I'm afraid ......," Dumbledore said slowly, each word looking rather laborious, "it's you, no doubt." ”

"But you said—Neville was born in July, too, and his parents ......," Harry said quickly.

"You forgot the second paragraph of the prophecy, the last sign that identified the boy who could destroy Voldemort...... Voldemort himself labeled it his enemy, and he did, Harry, and he chose you, not Neville. He gave you that scar full of blessings and curses. ”

"But he may have chosen the wrong one!" said Harry, "and he may have flagged the wrong object!"

"He chose a boy who seemed more dangerous to him...... "Notice no, he didn't choose a pureblood, but a half-blood like him, and when he imprinted that scar on you, he didn't kill you as he wanted, but gave you strength, gave you a future, and it was this that got you rid of him more than once, but four times—neither your parents nor Neville's parents." ”

"Then why did he do that?" Harry felt numb and cold, "why did he kill me as a baby, he should wait until we get older to see if Denaway or I are more dangerous before deciding who to kill......"

"Indeed, this is a special case!" said Dumbledore, "if it weren't for Voldemort's intellect being incomplete. The pig's head bar, the one chosen by Sybil, has long relied on its cheapness to attract customers compared to the three broomsticks. As you and your friends discovered, and I discovered that night, this is not a place where you can avoid eavesdropping, and certainly I am not dreaming, but when I go there to see Professor Sybil Trauny, I will hear something worthy of eavesdropping, so that the eavesdroppers there only hear a little ...... we have left there."

"So all he heard was ......"

"He only heard the beginning of the prophecy, prophesy of a boy born in July, whose parents defeated Voldemort three times, and apparently, he did not hear that the attack of his head on you would transmit power to you and mark you as its enemy. So Voldemort doesn't know that attacking you puts him at risk, and it's wise to wait a little longer to find out more, he doesn't know that you're going to have power that he doesn't have......"

"No one would choose a tricky enemy if they could, in fact, it's troublesome!" Van Lynn said, as if considering what would happen if Neville were chosen.

However, the conclusion reached is just a copy of Harry from a different experience, Van Lin does not think that Voldemort will do anything, fundamentally speaking, Voldemort itself does not conform to the current magical society.

"But I didn't!" Harry said with a suffocation, "I don't have any strength that he doesn't have, I can't fight like he did tonight, I can't control the others or kill them......"

"There's a room in the Department of Mysteries......," Dumbledore interrupted, "it's closed at all times, and there are forces in it that are more wonderful and terrible than death, more terrifying than human power, and probably the most incredible of all disciplines. It's this power that you have a lot of, and Voldemort has nothing. This power led you to save Sirius in your third year, and it was the same power that saved you from Voldemort's control tonight, because he couldn't bear to exist in a body filled with this power he hated. In the end, it's not you who shut down your heart, it's your heart itself that saves you. ”

"That's not me, it's Van Lin who helped me break free ......"

"Don't neglect your efforts. Van Lin said, "The effect of the soul ring is not as powerful as you think. ”

Harry closed his eyes, trying to calm himself...... But...... Passive choices, embroiled in all kinds of causes and effects that belong to Voldemort, are not what Harry wants to see.

If Voldemort hadn't chosen him, his parents wouldn't have died, but, in that case, Neville ......

Harry couldn't imagine what would become of Neville, and his grandmother, the slightly stubborn old woman......

"The Last ...... of Prophecy Sounds like ...... There was only one of us ......"

“...... One will survive......" Dumbledore said.

"So......" Harry dug into the words from the deep despair within. "So that means...... One of us has to kill the other...... And finally?"

"Yes. Dumbledore replied truthfully.

For a long time, they did not say a word. Harry heard voices coming from outside the house, and the students had already started to go to the hall for breakfast. It's unbelievable that there are still people in this world who want to eat and still laugh.

As for himself, sitting in the slightly warmer headmaster's office, he was chosen by Voldemort and then forced to ......

Van Lin looked at Harry with some concern, he naturally knew this feeling, compared to the Falling Demons, his own troubles seemed to be greater, and before that, not only Voldemort, even Dumbledore, was like a mountain pressing on the top of Van Lin's head, compared to Harry......

However, he had managed to make it through, and Harry was clearly still in such an awkward stage of choice.

Accept it calmly, and then rise up and resist, or you will give up on yourself......

However, Dumbledore obviously wouldn't accept the second outcome, so forcibly pushing Harry out to attract Voldemort, and then repeating such a scene?

Or just push him out to replace Harry?

It's not impossible, especially after Voldemort comes into contact with the Grim Reaper and tries to gain access to its powers, which makes such a plan even more likely.

In fact, wizards are superstitious prophecies more than anyone else, and although wizards should believe in their own power and rely on their own power to change the world, not all people are able to do this.

The greater the power, the more uncharted territory one encounters, death, fear, irresistibility, and all sorts of different factors that dictate the minds of all wizards.

For example, the current Dumbledore, because of the prophecy, has always believed that Harry is the ultimate destination of Voldemort. Moreover, Dumbledore had always believed that Van Lin had something to do, and there was no doubt that this goal fell on the Grim Reaper, who had not yet appeared in Voldemort's hands.

So, what was he going to do? and this time the plan was proposed to Dumbledore by Van Lin himself......

"I think I owe you another explanation, Harry," Dumbledore said hesitantly, "You may have wondered why I didn't appoint you prefect?" I must admit...... I did think about it that way...... You're not reliable enough. ”

"Not reliable enough......" Harry looked at Dumbledore and then at Van Lin.

He is naturally self-evident to the average Hogwarts wizard, and his mind is connected to Voldemort, and Voldemort can see a lot of things at Hogwarts through him.

A message about Dumbledore, or rather, about the Order of the Phoenix...... Even, let him hurt certain people, for example, Dumbledore.

In fact, he had already had the idea of killing Dumbledore more than once?
