Chapter 68: If it were me, Harry, you'd be dead
"What do you seem to be expecting?"
Harry asked Grindelwald after turning his head.
"You don't.... See something? ”
The somewhat eccentric Grindelwald was a little surprised, he hadn't seen anyone who had nothing to do in his heart, but he had never seen an eleven or twelve-year-old child who could do this, at this age, there were so many things that children wanted, or dreams that they wanted to achieve.
"It's the Mirror of Eris, right, I saw the inscription, a mirror that reflects my heart's desire, it also has legends in the Muggle world, I heard it when I was a kid listening to bedtime stories, Dudley made a wish to see me pee my pants, and I beat him up."
Harry laughed a few times, Dudley was really fun when he was a child, he could always come up with some easy to beat up ghost ideas, probably because he was educated a lot, and he was much more honest when he grew up.
"It's not what I expected, but it's good news for me, and I made the right choice."
Grindelwald smiled with relief, and he got up and walked around the table and over to Harry's side.
"You're different from those playful little kids, after you told me about the idea of building a warband, I knew that you were the same as I was when I was younger, and we were fellow travelers."
"Age is just an unnecessary label, he can't restrain an alien like us from blooming with dazzling brilliance, but you're luckier than I am, Harry, I didn't meet such a good teacher at the time, Durmstrang fired me, but that's why I was able to get to know Al."
"We are outliers who don't need other people to plan our lives for us, because no one can read our hearts."
"Even if that person is Al, he can't."
"However, I also hope that you don't blame your headmaster, as a fool who likes to worry about other people, he didn't mean to harm you, after all, he didn't know what kind of person you were before you came to Hogwarts."
Grindelwald patted Harry on the shoulder and excused Dumbledore with gentle words.
"Of course, I don't know exactly what Professor Dumbledore's plans are, but I trust you, Professor."
"Al's heart would have been sad to hear you say that."
Grindelwald laughed heartily, "I'll only teach you for one year, and I'll be gone next year, or you might as well transfer to Durmstrang, it's much more interesting than Hogwarts." ”
"Professor Dumbledore will be sad to hear you say that."
An old man and a young man have a pair of eyes, and they all laugh out loud.
"Okay, okay, since I've stopped this matter, let's treat it as if nothing happened, I can tell you what Al wants to do, and after you hear it, you can choose what to do."
"It's about Voldemort?"
"Of course."
Grindelwald shrugged, Harry guessed that this was not surprising, after all, Harry's ears probably heard calluses in the words of the boy who never died, and in the wizarding world that lacked entertainment, most wizards were babbling about the old calendar.
"Although I despise that guy a little, I also have to admit that if you only use black magic, that guy is indeed a demonic genius, very genius, but unfortunately, he took a different path from me, and it is absolutely wrong, he did not learn to harness black magic, but became a slave of dark magic."
"Such a guy is very strong, but that's all, his twisted and cowardly heart even makes him dare not face Al directly, even if such a person has great power, he can't do anything big."
"Reality has told us that what I said is not wrong, but despite this, we can despise him strategically, but we need to value him tactically, Voldemort, that is, Tom Riddle, this guy is a tricky nuisance, he has forged a Horcrux, he is a very difficult mad dog to kill."
As a master of the dark arts and the most stable prophet in the world today, it is not surprising that Grindelwald is aware of the existence of Horcruxes, which is a terrifying thing as the most surreal and magical prophecy in the wizarding world.
Trelawney's kind of unwitting half-can make Dumbledore take it very seriously, let alone a true prophet like Grindelwald.
"And you, Harry, you're the hounds that Al thinks is the best dog in the world against this mad dog."
"Because in your body.... Storing one of his seven shattered souls, this madman split his soul six times, cutting himself into seven, and although it was an accident on you, he actually did it. ”
"Even Helpo, who created the Horcruxes, didn't do this, splitting his soul three times and then killing himself the fourth time he was preparing the Horcruxes."
"You should know how important you are by now, right, Harry."
Grindelwald returned to his seat, crossed his fingers and looked at Harry calmly.
"You mean, if I don't die, Voldemort won't be able to kill him?"
"Of course you can, how can there be a guy in the world who can't be killed." Grindelwald tugged at the corners of his mouth and smiled disdainfully, "I can't predict the location of his Horcruxes, because this dark magic has sheltered him, Helmo was once known as the most hateful, evil, and despicable dark wizard in the world, and he has single-handedly grown the dark magic from a little-known knowledge to what it is now." ”
"Helmo is the pioneer and leader of the dark arts, and his Horcruxes are the crystallization of the essence of his life's work, and I can tell the exact number of artifacts shrouded in this deep darkness."
"If I were going to kill Voldemort, not Al, then ten years ago, I would have killed him when he was still a geist, and then when he was resurrected, I couldn't predict where the Horcrux was, but I could predict where he was, what if he couldn't die at once, he split his soul six times, then I would kill him six times."
Speaking of this, Grindelwald glanced at Harry, and the expression on his face did not waver in the slightest.
"If he provoked me back then, I would choose to kill you with him when he is resurrected on you for the last time."
Grindelwald, who did not hide his thoughts in the slightest, grinned, and a chill crept up Harry's back, what Grindelwald had just said was serious, if it wasn't Dumbledore but him, what he did was what he just said.
"You're scaring me, Professor."
When he heard the news of his 'death', Harry was not uneasy, because if he was Grindelwald, he would do the same, cut the grass without eradicating the roots, and if he decided that Voldemort was an obstacle that he had to remove, what would it matter if he died someone who had nothing to do with him, and Harry was not his own son, so the sacrifice would be sacrificed.
In a way, Harry and Grindelwald are all the way.
"Hell if it scares you." Grindelwald, who didn't believe it at all, waved his hand, "If there's anything else you want to ask, let's say it today." ”
After a moment's thought, Harry was quite curious, "Professor, if Voldemort is resurrected on my Horcrux, will it be the soul he left on me that suddenly pops out, or does he replace me?" ”
"Neither."
"Let's put it this way, a Horcrux is a soul preservation, few magic and weapons can destroy the existence, wizards will also inject a very large amount of magic into it when they make Horcruxes, and after resurrection, the soul inside will rely on the magic stored in it to solidify the illusory body, and then find a way to reshape the body."
"Although they are dead, although there are only soul fragments left, they are also alive, and they are completely different beings from ghosts, and because of this, such soul fragments with the definition of being alive can come back from the dead after making new bodies, in the end, they are not dead at all, they are just living in the form of soul fragments."
"The magic in your body will be absorbed by Voldemort's soul fragments, and the life force will also be extracted by him, and everything you have will become the nourishment for his resurrection, and when the Horcrux is activated, you will die ......"
Speaking of this, Grindelwald hesitated, "Maybe it's mortal, if your soul is strong enough, then the soul fragment may also be killed by you, and then become your nutrients, after all, the soul in your body was born in an accident, compared to the normally made Horcruxes, it is not strong in your body." ”
As he spoke, a strange look appeared on Grindelwald's face.
"Your mother, Lily Potter, I once heard Al mention the magic she left behind in you..... Hiss~"
"Maybe this protection will be able to cut off most of Voldemort's soul's connection with you, for example, by drawing nutrients from your soul to accumulate power."
"If that's really the case...."
Grindelwald smiled inexplicably, "That's interesting." ”
