A figure emerges from within, wrapped around a shawl, her eyes unusually large behind her glasses, she slowly spins, her feet floating in the meditation basin. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

George recognized the man inside, and although he hadn't taken her class, he knew that she was Professor Trelawney of the prophecy class.

Professor Trelawney said in a harsh, hoarse voice, "The one with the power to conquer the Dark Lord is approaching...... Born into a family that defeated the Dark Lord three times...... Born in the seventh month...... The Dark Lord marked him as his archenemy. ”

"But he has an energy that the dark doesn't understand...... One must die at the hands of the other, because neither can both live, only one survives...... The one who has the power to conquer the Dark Lord will be born at the end of the seventh month......"

The slowly spinning Professor Trelawney was once again immersed in the silver filaments below, and vanished.

"Oh, that's the prophecy. George replied noncommittally and did not continue to speak.

"Well, there is no truth without trust. Dumbledore said helplessly, "All I can say is that I didn't forge this memory, and that others have heard this prophecy." Nor did Sybil's prophecy be made by me. ”

George said lightly, "It's still hard to imagine that a powerful wizard like you and Voldemort would pin everything on a baby because of a nonsensical prophecy." ”

Honestly, since Voldemort said in the labyrinth, everything was Dumbledore's conspiracy. George was more willing to believe that everything was Dumbledore's calculation than prophecy, a brilliant and admirable plan.

After all, whether it was his own experience or the history of the wizarding world that he knew, prophecy was a very unreliable thing.

Even if Dumbledore had just revealed his memories, he didn't find them convincing, just as Lockhart could manipulate the memories of others.

Compared to Lockhart, his ability to forge memories is still above Lockhart's, and if he wants, he can also control Trelawney and create a prophecy that no one knows.

This kind of false prophecy can be discerned by no one but himself. Even Trelawney would only think that this was a prophecy she had really made, and she couldn't tell if her memories were from her or had been altered.

"I know it looks a little weird, but it was confusing for everyone. The battle has been going on for more than ten years, Voldemort has not been able to defeat, and I have not been able to defeat Voldemort, we have been fighting for too long, everyone is tired and tired. ”

Dumbledore recalled his memories and said with a sigh, "A prophecy that suddenly appeared, a prophecy that suddenly broke the deadlock, drove each of us crazy." Sometimes I can't tell whether the prophecy led to the change or whether the change led to the fulfillment of the prophecy. ”

"I also know that most of the prophecies are deceitful, and I myself know some of the prophecy methods, but that prophecy is very unusual. ”

Dumbledore's eyes wandered into his own memories, "The man who had only one chance to conquer the Earth Demon forever was born at the end of July nearly fifteen years ago. The boy's parents had defeated Voldemort three times. ”

Sybil's prophecy can be applied to two wizarding boys, both born at the end of July of that year, both of whom had parents in the Order of the Phoenix, and both had escaped death at Voldemort's hands three times. One is Harry Potter and the other is Neville Longbottom. ”

What happened after that, as prophesied, Voldemort marked his rival. He left that scar on Harry's forehead that was both a blessing and a curse, and part of his power, part of his soul, entered Harry's body. ”

Dumbledore looked at George with strange eyes again, and said, "Although it seems that it is you, not Harry, who can finally defeat Voldemort in the end. ”

George smiled softly and said flatly, "So it's still a nonsense prophecy after all." ”

Dumbledore said calmly, "But at the time, that was our only chance. Although we have been resisting Voldemort, his power will continue to grow with killing and destruction, and I am gradually starting to grow old. ”

"Unlike what people think, Voldemort wasn't afraid of me. Even at the time, I was not sure of a complete victory over Voldemort. I'm not afraid of death, but I'm worried about the world after death. ”

Dumbledore sighed, "Our victory came by luck, the Hog's Head Bar has always been known for its low prices. This bar is by no means a safe place to be able to count on your conversation from being overheard. ”

"And, when I set out to meet Sybil Trelawney, I never dreamed that I would hear something of great value. Voldemort's spies were also at the pig's head bar at the time, but luckily the eavesdropper, who only heard a small part of the prophecy, was found and thrown out of the bar. ”

And it was this luck that Voldemort did not hear the most crucial part of the prophecy, Voldemort did not know that attacking Harry was a dangerous thing, and he marked Harry as his opponent and took his own life. ”

George sighed and said, "It's a fluke indeed, it's not so much that Voldemort lost to the prophecy as he lost to himself." If he had been more cautious, he should not have believed the prophecies that were not clear, and he should not have taken the wizard lightly and was killed by the curse that died together. ”

He didn't want to delve into the truth of the matter, and no one knew the situation at that time. Maybe it's really a coincidence, maybe it's really a prophecy, maybe it's really a conspiracy. But so what, for the people of the time, more than ten years of war was too long. All are tired and tired.

A prophecy that came out of nowhere, a prophecy that broke the ice out of the blue, drove everyone crazy. At the end of the day, no one can tell whether the prophecy led to the change or whether the change led to the fulfillment of the prophecy.

At the time, it was really the wizards' only chance. Dumbledore couldn't defeat Voldemort after all.

As Dumbledore had said, it was the only option for wizards, Voldemort's power would continue to grow with killing and destruction, and he was already getting old. The rest of the wizarding world did nothing, and when all the burdens weighed on him, they saw him as the only savior.

Everyone was saying that Dumbledore was the only person Voldemort feared. But only Dumbledore himself knew that he was old, and he didn't even dare to face Voldemort, just because he couldn't afford to lose at all, and the wizarding world couldn't afford to lose.
