The office was surprisingly quiet, and it was more like it was about to end than the Q&A between the two of them before.

But even basic information has not been fully exchanged, and naturally no one can leave.

Dumbledore's eyes were half-closed, as if he were resting, and Van Lin's consciousness seemed to be immersed in the meditation basin again.

"Would you like a cup of tea, or maybe coffee?"

"A cup of tea, Professor. ”

Within two seconds, a steaming cup of black tea appeared on the table from years ago.

"Professor. "I think instead of talking about how to change the way Hogwarts educates, I think it's better to find a way to deal with what is happening at the moment." ”

"You mean the Three Witches Fighting Competition?"

"Voldemort's resurrection requires Harry's blood, and they were going to do it. ”

"Do it in the third race?" Dumbledore asked, "I've thought of it, and the best way to do that is...... Speaking of which, you should be clear about who is responsible for the assignment of the third task. ”

"Professor Moody?"

"Yes, so I'm not worried about Harry leaving Hogwarts, but it's hard to get back. Dumbledore rubbed his temples, he couldn't come forward, and in this way, it gave Voldemort a great chance.

"Voldemort can't do anything with Harry, at least, not with his wand. Van Lin said.

"I know what the twin wands do. Dumbledore said, "But it wasn't enough for Harry to come back. ”

"I have a program to teach. Van Lin pondered for a moment and said, "Maybe I can go with my feelings." ”

"You're going with Harry?" said Dumbledore, "are you sure?"

"Not much, though, always had to try, and I learned to apparition. ”

"It's not enough, Van Lin. Dumbledore said.

Van Lin nodded, Apparition is a risky way, if it doesn't work out, he and Harry will have to die somewhere, and even if it succeeds, with Voldemort's strength, it is a bad thing to catch the fluctuations of the Phantom Shifter and let the rear follow.

However, they can also get through the portkey, but that can be a hassle.

"Let's not talk about it yet. Dumbledore shook his head, "That's your agreement with that vampire?"

"That's right," Van Lin nodded, "within my power, solve a problem for them, let them cooperate with me, and let Harry come back alive." ”

Van Lin shrugged his shoulders, "However, those guys are not credible, and so far, it has only been some exchange of information. ”

"It's good enough, at least it gives us the initiative. ”

"Professor Dumbledore......" Van Lin hesitated, "What if I destroy Voldemort before I resurrect it?"

"You can't do it. Dumbledore shook his head, "You should know that we don't have all of his weaknesses. ”

Dumbledore leaned back, allowing him to pull the journal and crown out of the drawer.

"How many do you think there will be in this?"

"I don't know. Van Lin shook his head.

"But now he has a lot more. Professor Dumbledore said, "This is what I got from Barty Crouch. ”

Dumbledore said, pulling out a bottle.

A mess of silvery matter.

"Crouch's memory?" Van Lin was stunned.

Harry's dream was so clear that Van Lin didn't even think that he could get some useful information from Crouch, it was Voldemort's judgment, but now it seemed that Voldemort was underestimating Dumbledore.

Dumbledore didn't speak, he just frowned, and let Crouch's memories be put into the meditation basin.

Like a stream of clear water poured into a hot oil pot, the liquid in the meditation basin showed some signs of boiling in an instant.

Dumbledore reached out and pressed a hand into the meditation basin, and the boiling sign was suppressed.

Van Lin fixed his eyes and looked into the meditation basin, and Crouch's memories did not dissolve like the others, but were still tangled together like a mess.

"What's going on?"

"Confusion, darkness. Dumbledore said slowly.

Visible to the naked eye, under the influence of Dumbledore's magic, Crouch's memories turned into ink and melted in the meditation basin.

Van Lin looked into the meditation basin, but there was nothing but darkness.

"How does it feel?" Dumbledore asked.

Van Lin was a little confused, even though he was smart, but such a memory ......

"I don't understand, Professor, why this is the case...... said Vanlin, "Mr. Crouch is not ......"

"Split souls. Dumbledore said, "Batty, to be exact, is technically dead. ”

"Death?" said Van Lin, puzzled, "but I don't feel Mr. Crouch......

"From the essence of the soul to change. Dumbledore said, "Barty, so to speak, is completely dead in his part as a human being. ”

Van Lin was slightly stunned, he never expected Dumbledore to come to such a conclusion.

"However, if it is modified, Mr. Crouch still retains the ability to cast magic, he is apparition to the Forbidden Forest, and I am not mistaken. ”

"That's the last struggle, Van Lin. ”

Dumbledore said slowly, "Maybe Tom didn't realize it himself, but Crouch's transformation was half done......"

"Half-done?" said Van Lin quickly, "I'm sorry, I don't quite understand, what does it mean to be half-done?" or is it Mr. Crouch who ......?"

"It's only half done," Dumbledore said, "maybe it's just an experiment, Voldemort's experiment to transform himself, but his power is not complete, and he is not sure that he will be able to succeed intact, so ......"

"Mr. Crouch has become a test subject?" said Van Lin, "and what the result?"

"The experiment failed, and Crouch was dead. Dumbledore said heavily, "The memories you just saw are the whole of Crouch's soul. ”

Dumbledore said, "In fact, not long after being sent to St. Mungo's Hospital, Crouch couldn't hold on, and Crouch, who fell into madness, almost ruined everything around him, including his own body. ”

"I'm sorry, Professor Dumbledore, but ......" Van Lin opened his mouth a few times, but he didn't have a clue, he didn't know where to start.

No wonder Voldemort wasn't worried, because they couldn't get anything from Crouch.

"You should know that power," Dumbledore said, "we fought against him, the purest ...... of darkness and evil."

"You mean...... Death?" Van Lin was shocked, "No...... This can't be, that thing, how can it be ......"

"All power can be harnessed, at least in Tom's eyes, which is not afraid of the comer. ”

"But, where did he find this power, I'm sorry, Professor Dumbledore, I still can't believe it, the body of the Grim Reaper underground at Hogwarts has been destroyed, and the rest ......"

"I don't know, maybe I met it by chance. Dumbledore said, "Pure evil is more fitting and attractive to each other, and you should trust my judgment, there is no doubt that this power that drives wizards into madness comes from death." ”

Dumbledore said, placing a blueprint on the table.

The pattern on the drawing is very familiar to Van Lin, it is the discovery of Sirius.

"This is the result of an analysis from Greece, and I am sure that Nicol could not have been more detailed in this aspect than the sacrifice. ”

"What is it?"

"Assimilation, assimilation, purer soul transformation. Dumbledore said, "I think Tom must have found something about death, and I believe you should know the power of this power, which has a fatal attraction for Tom." ”

"That vampire is a test subject?"

"That's right, part of it is for the body, and part of it is for the soul. Dumbledore's gaze deepened, "It's bad, it's never been worse. ”

"It's really bad. Van Lin smiled bitterly, he never thought that what he was facing would be combined with what Harry was facing.

Van Lin was well aware of the power of the god of death, and the price was the complete dissipation of the Greek gods.

"He's not moving fast, though. Dumbledore said, "You should know that the vampire experienced more than just physical strengthening, in fact, the power of the Grim Reaper is almost irresistible, and while transforming the body, the soul also descends further into madness, which is no different from Barty's performance in St. Mungo, powerful physical destruction, but completely forgot how to cast magic, otherwise it would have taken me a lot of effort to subdue him." ”

"How's it going, Professor Dumbledore?"

"The results of the transformation in different directions are also different, and Barty's final performance is more like something that an old friend of mine loved to conquer the world. ”

"Grindelwald...... Silence?" Van Lin hesitated for a moment, and then he thought of who Dumbledore's old friend was talking about.

"That's right," said Dumbledore, "Barty, who has lost his magical powers, can only use his chaotic soul to attract the magic stored in his body, but like a powerful Silent One, he naturally becomes easy to control when he loses his mind." ”

Dumbledore said, "Tom could not give up his mind, his magical abilities, which is no different from death for every wizard. ”

"It's terrifying, though, if Voldemort has the ability to control himself without losing his mind, or, if he can control this mutated monster......"

"It's going to get really bad, Van Lin......"
