Chapter Seventy-Three: I'll Give Him a Choice

Muen felt it was time for him to turn the conversation back. The despair of the world... He thought it was a bit of.

"Well, you believe in prophecy, so what." He looked at Dumbledore and said with interest, "What if Harry passes your test?" ”

"I just want to know if he's like Riddle." Dumbledore said.

"He's good, and he's in Slytherin again, sorry. It's hard for me not to associate him with Riddle.

I don't want to repeat the same mistakes. If he is of good character, I will do everything in my power to pave the way for him, even if it costs his life. ”

Wow.

Munn was amazed, and he could feel the weight in Dumbledore's words.

"But what if Harry doesn't pass your test?" He asked.

Dumbledore was silent, he didn't want to say the answer.

"If he doesn't pass your test, then he'll be a pawn, right?" Mu En unscrupulously helped him completely uncover the fig leaf called silence.

Mu En's heart was a little unhappy, and he said slowly:

"No one who becomes a hero has a desire for fame and fortune to do things that ordinary people can't do.

Parents never give love to their children with a utilitarian heart.

You have to see what his character is like before you decide whether or not to pave the way for him. Don't you think it's like the owner giving a dog food to the dog who picks up the frisbee?

It's ridiculous, Dumbledore! ”

Mu En looked directly at the old man with white hair in front of him.

As before on Privet Road, they stood still, staring at each other from a distance.

This time, however, it's not so tense anymore. But the words were even harsher.

"As I said before, you have not been the first person for a long time, so you lack respect for the people of the world. Now it seems that it was.

What kind of character does he need your affirmation?

Or, if you care so much about his character, then why don't you take more care of him from an early age? You know what kind of environment he lives in. ”

Dumbledore remained silent, his face darkening, only nodding stiffly.

Seeing Dumbledore's old posture, Mu En couldn't help but feel a little discouraged, and could only whisper helplessly: "Dumbledore, maybe you do have enough kindness, tolerance and gentleness to this world.

But what I have to say is that you really don't understand what the human heart is, you just think that these things can be used for it.

As we said when we met for the second time, if you only have profit and calculation in your head, then you will miss out on a lot of things. For example, a true heart.

Or rather, true love! ”

Dumbledore's expression was in a trance, Munn's words were like a hammer, he seemed to have his spine removed, and his body couldn't help but stiffen a little.

Scenes from the past kept flashing through my mind.

With Grindelwald's oath in Godric's Hollow, Ariana's death, Aberforth's break...

Scamander and Hagrid, who are driven by him like tools, but still have absolute trust in him, Severus, who is willing to be driven by him because they love Lily deeply...

He kept saying that love was the greatest magic in the world, but love...

It's strange to him ... Even, in this respect, he is inferior to Severus, inferior to Hagrid, inferior to... Many, many people...

It seems that love is something that has been broken like the bridge of his nose on that day in Godric's Hollow, and it can no longer heal...

He doesn't believe in such things.

"I think you're right, Muen. Indeed, as you say... It seems that love is not familiar with me. "He's so weak.

"I just think... Love and trust... It will only bring betrayal. ”

He truly loved Grindelwald, but that battle drove Ariana to her death. There was an eternal estrangement between him and Aberforth.

He genuinely wanted to change Tom Riddle, but Tom became the feared Dark Lord in the future.

He even saw Jaime die of betrayal because he gave his heart to his friend.

He is indeed kind enough and gentle enough to the world. But that's all based on his strength, and today, in the betrayal again and again, he has long since ceased to give his sincerity to anyone.

"You're too cowardly, Dumbledore." Mu En shook his head and said no more.

He can only talk.

If there is anything that can last longer than love.

It's that unwavering prejudice.

No one is perfect, because of the concepts shaped in the past and the ideas that have been adhered to for a lifetime, how can they change because of the words of others.

He's got his own problems, and he's stuck in it, it's just that he's not the same as Dumbledore, so that's why he's talking about it here.

"Definitely. Because of what so-called test, giving is too stupid, ridiculous, and insincere. Dumbledore stood up and shook his head mockingly.

"But now that I've done that, I don't think there's any need to stop." Dumbledore said, "I need to know why Riddle didn't die. ”

"Riddleβ€”" Mu En looked at the empty room he was in, a little stunned.

Then he nodded in agreement.

He was just a little disgusted by Dumbledore's idea of wanting to test Harry's character.

"So you came to me today for two things, one was to confide in me about this plan.

The other thing is for me to add another level to protect the Philosopher's Stone? Mu En looked at him.

"That's right." Dumbledore nodded dryly, "But for now, I won't put Harry on the chessboard again, I promise you." ”

"You don't need to promise me, you need to promise yourself." Mu En didn't care.

"Speaking of which, it might be a good whetstone." After finishing the heavy topic just now, the air in the entire empty room was much lighter.

"You want Harry to try?" Dumbledore was surprised.

"I don't know, it's up to him. I'm just subjectively surmising that Voldemort killed his parents, so he probably wouldn't have refused.

Yes, I'm talking about no refusal! As I said before, he can choose for himself, rather than being guided and manipulated like a puppet to participate in a so-called test. ”

Dumbledore frowned, "You're going to tell him everything?" I must tell you that Quirrell's ability to resist my detrimental desires means that he has a very high level of proficiency in this path.

If he could use it on Harry, the whole plan would be ruined. ”

Hearing Dumbledore's words, Muen realized what was wrong. But after a moment, he smiled again, "No, I don't think we need to tell Harry anything. ”

"What does that mean?"

"I think he can sense it himself."

Dumbledore was stunned, he could see the trust on Munn's face.

"That's what you believe?"

"Of course." Mu En just nodded, not wanting to explain too much.

"So your idea is..."

"Let it be, I have faith in him. But unlike that, I'll leave the choice to him.

As for these levels..."

A sinister smile appeared on Mu En's face: "This is really too pediatric." I think we should have something more fun..."
