Chapter 203 Cooperation between the two sides
Together with Professor McGonagall, the three of them were brought to the infirmary, and after being examined by Madam Pomfrey in the infirmary, they confirmed that nothing was wrong with all of them, Harry looked embarrassed and only had some skin injuries on his body, Ron had only been unconscious due to concussion and shock, and Hermione was not injured at all.
Harry Potter has many shortcomings in the eyes of many people, but Essence Mountain is still quite kind and simple, and at this time, he told Ron and Hermione about misunderstanding Snape, and at the same time expressed his gratitude to Locke.
According to the plot, Locke still said: "Professor Snape is indeed very strict, but he will not deliberately harm you, you can just remember that." ”
At this time, the three of them were in a state of extreme guilt, and at this time, they naturally nodded again and again, and Locke didn't say much, after all, he and Snape were not familiar with each other, and talking too much might cause the three of them to rebel, so they quickly changed the topic:
"Okay, I've checked it too, you all have nothing to do, I'll ask Madam Pomfrey later to see if you can go back to recuperate.".
After speaking, Locke pointed at the three of them again, and the next moment, the original dirty and torn clothes on the three of them instantly became intact.
To be honest, many times Locke also found this restoration spell quite magical, and even items that had become obsolete due to the passage of time could be restored.
The next day was uneventful, and no one came to Locke to say anything, until the next afternoon, an origami crane flew in front of Locke of its own accord, with the password of the headmaster's office written on it.
Looking at this password, Locke knew that he was going to face Dumbledore next.
"Please come in." After knocking on the door, Dumbledore's voice was heard from the Headmaster's office.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Headmaster." Locke pushed open the door and greeted Dumbledore.
"Good afternoon." Dumbledore nodded, motioned for Locke to sit down in front of the coffee table, and said, "What do you want to drink?" ”
"Just ask for a cup of tea." Locke was not polite, sat down directly in front of Dumbledore, took the black tea he handed to him and took a sip.
"I think you've heard of Tom's reputation, I wonder if you'd like to hear how he became the Dark Lord." Dumbledore said with a smile.
"It's my pleasure." Although he had known it through the plot for a long time, Locke still made a deaf attitude.
Next, Dumbledore really told about Voldemort from the beginning, from his performance in school, to later becoming the Dark Lord to suppress the British wizarding world, and finally explaining the protective spell on Harry's body.
At the same time, Dumbledore also explained that he had been following Harry so that he could find Voldemort's Horcruxes and destroy them one by one, because the fate of Harry and Voldemort was entangled.
Even the Philosopher's Stone was a decoy he had set out to lure Voldemort.
It can be said that Dumbledore's unexpected honesty has made Locke feel a lot more favorable, as an important character, although he also has a lot of calculations, but on the whole he is still a very decent person, but there are some differences from the evaluation of old silver coins and other things mentioned on the Internet in the previous life.
Finally, Dumbledore said solemnly, "Professor Trelawney has given two prophecies about how Voldemort will be destroyed.
In the first prophecy, she says that Voldemort will suffer defeat at Harry; And the second prophecy ......"
At this point, Dumbledore hesitated for a moment before he said, "The prophecy says that Voldemort will return and bring darkness to the wizarding world, but he will eventually die at Harry's hands. ”
Raising an eyebrow, Locke asked, "Headmaster, do you mean that you want me to interfere as little as possible in Harry's affairs, lest the prophecy change?" ”
"Not really." Dumbledore shook his head, "I do have the idea of training Harry so that he can gradually take charge of himself and eventually defeat Voldemort, and I think you can provide the best help when dealing with Voldemort." ”
After thinking about it, Locke probably understood Dumbledore's thoughts, he should have shown his strength before, and saw that he was capable of fighting Voldemort.
The Divine Fire Spell is not a spell that ordinary wizards can learn to master, and wizards who can use it skillfully can be counted by the entire wizarding world, and such strength is enough to deal with Voldemort.
Dumbledore was confident that he could still suppress Voldemort, but his grade was too big, and his strength was actually declining as time went by.
Voldemort has a Horcrux, although it has caused some shortcomings in the soul, but after being resurrected, his strength will not be weakened due to age.
So in the battle between the two, time is actually on Voldemort's side, so Dumbledore wants to train Harry Potter so that he can deal with Voldemort in the future.
From the beginning of school to the present, Dumbledore found that Harry may be good in wizarding talents, but he is not the top, the key is that he does not have the consciousness to improve his strength with all his might.
At the end of the day, Harry is just an ordinary boy, and it's not so easy to study hard if you want him to mature quickly and truly realize the importance of strength.
But the sudden appearance of Locke also made Dumbledore see another opportunity, Locke's strength is now about the same as Voldemort's.
Especially since Locke is still so young, his strength is still growing rapidly, and now he is already opposed to the Death Eaters, if he can join the camp against Voldemort, then even if Harry does not grow up, he can become the backbone of the fight against Voldemort.
"So kid, I want to invite you to join the fight against Voldemort." Sure enough, Dumbledore said very solemnly.
'Are you the child?' Locke rolled his eyes in his heart, but given Dumbledore's grade and seniority, there was nothing wrong with calling Locke a child.
"It's my pleasure." After thinking about it for a while, Locke did not refuse to join the camp against Voldemort, and the task of the system made Locke naturally oppose Voldemort, and if he could join at this time, it would be of many benefits to him.
After all, Dumbledore has been the most famous wizard in the wizarding world for many years, whether it is the various magical knowledge that he has treasured privately, or the fame and connections accumulated over the years, it is very impressive.
These things are of great help to Locke, so he naturally will not refuse the olive branch extended by the other party, or he is also prepared for this moment, but he didn't expect Dumbledore to be so decisive, but in just one day, he has already made a decision.
As for Dumbledore not immediately inviting him to join the Order of the Phoenix, he could understand it, after all, it always takes some time to get acquainted with it and gain trust.
In any case, the two sides planned to hit it off, and the next conversation between the two could be said to be a happy one for the guests, and when they left, Locke also received some of the magic books that Dumbledore had given him from his personal collection.
At the same time, Dumbledore also opened the requirement room for Locke, so that Locke could use it exclusively to practice various spells, and just the initial harvest made Locke satisfied enough.
