Ryan, who was thought to have rested by Rose Crystal on a small island in the North Sea, was actually not as free as she thought. He was sitting in the common room checking the upcoming issue of "Look, This Is Muggle". Sitting there
Across from him, Hermione was flipping through the Transfiguration book she got from the world of "Beauty and the Beast". After mastering the power of the rules, she discovered many new ideas from this book from the nymphs.
A place worth studying.
On the sofa in the distance, Ron was catching up on his homework. He had missed a lot of homework while he was in the hospital. He must now make up for the content of these classes, otherwise, he will definitely be kicked out after the final exam.
Mrs. Weasley granted a summer vacation.
"Why hasn't Harry come back yet?" Ron raised his head and asked after copying the notes that Ryan had lent him. It was already late at night, and there were only three of them left in the common room.
Before Ryan could answer, the door to the common room opened, and Harry walked in with a frustrated look on his face.
"What happened?" Seeing his friend's face looking ugly, Ron stepped forward and asked with concern.
"It's nothing, it's just that I didn't complete the task assigned to me by Professor Dumbledore before, so the course can no longer continue." Harry sat on the sofa tiredly, and then began to tell Ryan and the others about what happened to Principal Dumbledore today.
Details of the class there.
At eight o'clock in the evening, just when the little puppets decided to attack, Harry also stepped into the principal's office, and happened to see Professor Trelawney arguing with Principal Dumbledore. Because Trelawney hoped to
Drive away the centaur Firenze, but Principal Dumbledore refused her unreasonable request.
After Professor Trelawney angrily pushed Harry away and disappeared up the spiral staircase, Dumbledore asked Harry to close the door and sit in the old seat in front of Dumbledore's desk.
Harry tried to ask about Professor Trelawney, but Professor Dumbledore brought the topic back after just a brief introduction. "Harry, don't worry about my teachers now. We have more important things."
Let’s talk. First of all—did you do the homework I assigned you in last class?”
"Ah," Harry suddenly remembered that because of the Apparition class, the Quidditch match, Ron's poisoning, his skull shattered, and the previous attempt to find out what Malfoy was doing, he almost forgot that Dumbledore asked him to do it.
To Slughorn's memory... "Well, I really didn't find a way to get him to talk, because Ryan reminded me that if I asked directly, he would definitely not be willing to answer me about this matter, which would make him more vigilant.
I messed this up completely, so during this time I have been thinking of a way to ensure that he tells the truth, because I know that I will not get a second chance."
"Oh, your friend is right." Dumbledore stared at Harry from the top of his half-moon glasses. Harry felt like he was being seen through from beginning to end. "You feel that you have tried your best, right?"
Have you given full play to your ingenuity? Have you exhausted all your ideas?"
"Uh." Harry was speechless. He did think about many ways, but he didn't implement them for various reasons. The main reason was because he didn't put this matter in the most important position.
Now that Dumbledore asked him about it, he felt ashamed.
"I know that you have encountered many, many things recently, such as your friend being poisoned, or yourself being injured. I also understand how excited a young man like you is when he becomes the captain of the Quidditch team for the first time.
.But I think I've told you how important that memory is. In fact, it's the most critical memory, and without it, we would just be wasting time."
Dumbledore said these words in a normal tone, as if he was talking about what the weather was like today, but Harry felt a strong sense of shame come over him. He would rather Professor Dumbledore cursed at him than to
Express your inner disappointment coldly like this.
Harry desperately wanted to defend himself, but Dumbledore reached out to stop him. "I know, you will say that you are very busy. But I still hope that you can mention this matter from now on? Without that memory, we would
There will be no point in taking classes in the future.”
"I will, sir, I will get it," Harry said eagerly, as if grasping a life-saving straw.
At this time, Dumbledore finally got past this topic and entered the main topic of the day. They first reviewed the content of the previous lesson: Voldemort killed his father and grandparents, making people think that it was his uncle who did it. Then he returned to
Hogwarts asks Professor Slughorn about Horcruxes.
"In today's lesson, we are going to look at the last memories I collected. What you need to know is that after Tom became Voldemort, he consciously erased the traces of his experiences. It is almost impossible to find someone who can remember the adult Voldemort.
It was an impossible thing. In fact, I doubt if there is a living person besides himself who can tell us in detail about his life after leaving Hogwarts. However, despite my efforts, I still
Found these two memories."
After speaking, Dumbledore pointed to the two small shining crystal bottles placed next to the pensieve on the table, "I told you when I gave you a private lesson at the beginning that we would enter the realm of speculation and conjecture.
Fortunately, with the help of your friend Ryan, I can now basically figure out what some of these memories are about. This makes some guesses no longer guesses, and brings us closer to the truth.
One step forward."
"Ryan?" Harry said in disbelief.
"Yes." Dumbledore glanced at Harry sitting in front of him. "Although he is also very busy this year, his wisdom and strength have helped me a lot. I will tell you in detail after you read these memories.
What happened to you."
Harry felt even more ashamed at this time, but Dumbledore didn't seem to notice this. He told Harry that after Voldemort graduated with excellent grades from school, everyone was optimistic about his future, and several teachers suggested that he enter magic.
The teachers were willing to take the initiative to introduce him to him, but he refused. Later, the teachers learned that Voldemort went to work in Borgin and Burke.
"Bogin-Bock?" Harry said in shock.
"Bogin Bork." Dumbledore said calmly, "I didn't know what this was for at first, but with Ryan's help, I figured out the reason. But in fact, his first goal was not to work there.
, Voldemort first approached my former headmaster and asked him if he could stay at Hogwarts to teach."
He wants to stay here?" Harry was shocked. In his impression, an ambitious man like Voldemort would not be willing to stay in this ancient castle all day.
"I can understand," Dumbledore said. "First of all, this castle is the first and only place that feels like home to him. Secondly, this castle has a long history, and Voldemort believes that he can find his loved one from here.
Buried treasure. And the last point is that he is not the kind of person who can stay in school for his whole life. I think he sees this as a good place to recruit soldiers, and he can build a team for himself."
"It's a good thing he didn't get this job." Harry said he was glad in his tone.
Yes. Professor Dippet, the principal at the time, said that he was only eighteen years old, which was too young, but he was welcome to apply again in two years if he still wanted to teach by then. And I also wrote a letter to the principal at that time.
He wrote a letter and suggested that Armando not hire him. After that, Voldemort went to Borgin Burke, and all the teachers who admired him said it was a pity. But he did surprisingly well in that shop. You know, Harry, this
The store specializes in selling all kinds of magical items. Voldemort was sent to persuade others to hand over their treasures to the store for sale, and it is said that he is particularly good at this."
"I believe it." Harry couldn't help but say.
"Yes," Dumbley said with a slight smile, "Now it's time for us to get down to business and look at the memory of the house elf Hooch."
