"Professor," Harry said after a moment's thought, "though the Philosopher's Stone is gone, ...... I mean, mystery man—"

"Call him Voldemort, Harry. Always use the right name for things. The fear of a name reinforces the fear of the thing itself. ”

Dumbledore snapped his index finger and interrupted with a smile.

"Yes, Professor. So, Voldemort would try to make a comeback in another way, right? I mean, he's not gone, is he? ”

Harry thought as he said.

"Yes, Harry, he's not gone. He's still hiding somewhere, perhaps looking for a body that he's willing to share...... He wasn't really either, so it wasn't possible to be killed. ”

Dumbledore's eyes were dark, the orange light reflected on his face, "He is as ruthless as his enemies are as ruthless as his followers. But Harry, you may just delay him so that he can't regain his strength right away, and you need another man to be fully prepared to fight him to the death in the future—but if he is delayed again and again, he may never be able to regain his strength. ”

Harry nodded, glanced at Norin, who was drinking tea, and subconsciously felt that he was the one who fought Voldemort to the death. Harry asked hesitantly:

"Professor, there are some things I don't quite understand, I don't know if you can tell me...... I want to know the truth about these things......"

"The truth," Dumbledore sighed, "is a beautiful and terrible thing that needs to be treated with extreme caution. I'll do my best to answer your questions, though, unless I have a good reason to keep my mouth shut. In that case, I hope you can forgive me. I certainly can't lie to you. ”

"That's right...... Why did Voldemort want to kill me back then? ”

Dumbledore sighed heavily, "I'm sorry, the first thing you asked me, I couldn't tell you. Not today, not now. Someday, you'll understand...... Don't think about it yet, Harry. ”

Harry understood, and it was useless to say more.

"So, why can't Quirrell touch me?"

"Your mother died to save you, and she cast a spell of great and might. If there's one thing Voldemort can't figure out, it's love ......"

"He doesn't realize that a deep love like your mother has for you will leave a mark on you. Not a scar, not a visible mark...... Being loved so deeply by someone, even though the person who loved you has passed away, will also leave you with an eternal talisman. It's hidden in your skin. ”

"That's why Quirrell can't touch you. Filled with hatred, greed, and ambition, he sold his soul to Voldemort, and it would be painful for him to meet someone with such a beautiful mark on his body. ”

Harry's eyes instantly flushed, and Hermione almost burst into tears as she listened. Norin pursed his lips slightly, and Dumbledore began to fool people......

"And the cloak of invisibility—" Harry quickly wiped away his tears, his voice returning to normal.

"Ha, your father happened to leave it to me, and I think you're probably going to like it." Dumbledore's eyes sparkled with a sly light,

"Very useful stuff...... Back then, when your father went to school here, he mainly relied on him to sneak into the kitchen and steal food. ”

Hearing from Dumbledore about his father's past intrigued Harry, and he pressed for it. Dumbledore laughed and told Harry about James Potter, and Hermione listened to it with great interest.

After telling the story of Jaime and Lily, Dumbledore rubbed his brow a little tiredly and said:

Harry was still reminiscing about the legend of his parents at Hogwarts, half delighted and half sentimental, and after hearing Dumbledore's words, he said:

"Okay, Professor."

Hermione didn't say much, as if she had come over tonight to be a listener. She saw that Dumbledore clearly had something to say to Norin, and left the Headmaster's office with Harry.

After Harry and Hermione closed the office door, Dumbledore sat next to Norlin, a plate of candy looming out of the table.

"Taste it? Bibi multi-flavored beans, I was very unlucky when I was younger, and I accidentally ate a smelly bean, and I'm afraid that since then, I don't like to eat beans very much. However, each Bibi bean gives me a sense of anticipation, and I enjoy the unknown. ”

"No, no, I'm afraid of eating earwax-smelling beans." Norlin said with a wave of his hand.

"I know you have a lot of questions, but please forgive me for not being able to answer them for you right now."

Dumbledore said with a smile on his face, not showing the slightest guilt in his expression, "It's worth mentioning that Voldemort really surprised me by unleashing that basilisk, I almost forgot that it was still sleeping in a room...... It seems that you have caused him quite a bit of trouble. ”

No, no, no, there really aren't many questions......

Norin thought silently in his heart and said:

"Then you left me behind, is there something wrong?"

Dumbledore added new tea to his teacup, took a sip, looked into Norlin's eyes, and said:

"Want to see other schools?"

"What do you mean?"

Norin was stunned, he couldn't understand such a sudden topic.

Dumbledore took out an envelope and placed it on the table, and said, "Mr. Karkaroff, the headmaster of Durmstran, has written from him, saying that he wants to improve his magical communication with Hogwarts, and wants to send one student to exchange and study. What do you think? ”

"Why...... He suddenly had this thought? ”

Norin was really caught off guard and asked suspiciously.

"It's as if Pandora Lovegood told a respected professor in Durmstrang that the quality of teaching at Hogwarts had skyrocketed recently, and the professor had an offer to communicate."

Dumbledore said nonchalantly, "The senior students are about to graduate, and the junior students are too young to have enough strength. If you pick in the third or fourth grade, it seems that you are the best candidate. ”

"Speaking of Mrs. Lovegood...... They don't know where to travel now. Norlin smiled and asked. It was only in the usual letters from Mrs. Lovegood that they were not in any danger. And the specific location, he has nothing.

"They were in a very safe place. Next year their daughter will be enrolled in school. ”

Dumbledore said with a smile, "To be honest, even I was a little shocked by the speed at which you had to improve your strength, what you need most now is experience and insight, and this exchange and learning is a good opportunity." Go? ”

"Go!"

Nolin thought a little before agreeing. He also wanted to see what the school was like that was famous for its dark arts.

"Then take this letter with you, it contains what you need."

Dumbledore handed the envelope to Norlin, who opened it and looked at it, along with the invitation to the exchange, along with Durmstrong's address and how to get there.

When the matter was finished, Norlin quickly left with the envelope, and Dumbledore sat where he was, his eyes dazed, with a hint of remembrance, and muttered:

"Durmstrang ......"
