Connor's Hogwarts

Chapter 212 Dumbledore's Trust

The fat friar and Pepper left talking and laughing. Among the ghosts in the school, the fat friar was the friendliest to Peeves, and the relationship between them has always been good.

Connor was left behind by Dumbledore, and Dumbledore seemed to have something to say to himself.
"What are you thinking, Connor."

Connor sat in his usual seat, looking brooding.

"It's nothing, I was just thinking about what the fat monk said just now, Professor Dumbledore, what is the relationship between the fat monk and the Holy See?"

Dumbledore shrugged: "The fat monk was indeed a priest back then, and he also provided me with a lot of help in order to deal with the Holy See."

"!? Why didn't he tell me when I asked him?" Connor stared. He didn't expect that the fat monk looked honest, but he was actually not honest at all.

Dumbledore tapped the table with his index finger, and said in a rare serious tone: "Connor, you know, I didn't intend to involve you in this matter, but it's a pity that this matter has always revolved around you."

"I wanted to scare you and tell you to be quiet this semester, but unfortunately you are not a quiet character. Maybe you should be assigned to Gryffindor"

"." So your stories about "the Holy See came here to arrest me" were all lies, tsk, you really are a bad old man.

Connor rolled his eyes and asked, "So...about the chain of fate."

"It's up to you to find out by yourself. Hogwarts has a lot of secrets, and I don't know much better than you."

"Okay." Connor was thinking about something seriously. Suddenly, he shivered violently. With a tremor in his body, he froze in place.

"." Dumbledore asked with a strange expression, "What are you?"

like!Korea!Silk! ! !
Connor wanted to cry, but it was really embarrassing: "It's nothing, it's just that I'm more sensitive to magic power, so..."

Dumbledore smiled: "You shouldn't let this collar directly touch the skin, emmm, maybe you can try to use ink stone to isolate it from the middle, ink stone is a material that can isolate magic power, it is not difficult to find .”

".That's a good idea." Connor nodded a little awkwardly, why didn't he think of this method before.
"Okay, Connor, I'm keeping you here because I want to discuss something with you." Dumbledore said slowly.

"Please tell me, professor." Connor sat upright.

"." But Dumbledore was not in a hurry to speak. He stared deeply at Connor, and after a while, he slowly said, "Connor, I just discovered that you have learned Occlumency."

"..." You dirty old man peeped at my brain again!Connor was silent. Every time he came to see Dumbledore, he kept his head closed, but he never expected to be discovered by Dumbledore. Did he show his flaws somewhere?

"There's nothing wrong with that. Being able to master Occlumency at this age is enough to prove your genius. Connor, your excellence has always exceeded my expectations..." Dumbledore took out a handful of candy from the drawer and pushed it to Connor. In front of Na:
"Every time you choose, I feel ashamed of myself."

"You're wary of me, aren't you?"

"..." Connor didn't know what to say, he couldn't say that I have been guarding against you since the beginning of school. . .

"Indeed, the way I dealt with Alice at that time may have seemed too ruthless. My image of the kind and kind old principal in your heart must have been broken."

No, I'm sorry, you have never had this image in my mind.

"But, Connor..." Dumbledore sat slumped in the chair, he looked a little weak, like a real old man:

"I was such a ruthless person."

"I'm not the omnipotent and perfect person that people think, and I'm not as great as people think."

"I've been making mistakes all my life, I've been making mistakes over and over again, and then I've tried my best to make up for my mistakes..."

"The world calls me the greatest white wizard, but I know that I am not great at all, and I am even powerless to save a little girl..."

Dumbledore's voice became lower and lower, and finally he murmured in an almost inaudible voice: "Time and time again... In the end I couldn't save anyone..."

"...Professor..." Connor was at a loss for a moment, he didn't expect Dumbledore to show such a side in front of him.

Indeed, when Dumbledore decided to give up Alice, he was somewhat dissatisfied with him, but it was just some small emotions, and Connor would not put all the blame on Dumbledore.

Connor had always known that Dumbledore was the type of person who would sacrifice a little...even himself for "world peace."

Connor never really confided in Dumbledore. To put it bluntly, they just took advantage of each other... It's just that Connor would not make this kind of dissatisfaction with "differences in different ways" too obvious.

Connor could understand Dumbledore's original decision, but he couldn't understand the seemingly weak Dumbledore in front of him.

Fortunately, Dumbledore recovered quickly. He straightened up and smiled apologetically: "Sorry, I lost my composure just now, and I remembered something not very good."

"...Everyone will have a bad past, right?" Connor shook his head and said he didn't care: "Professor, I don't have any opinion on your original decision, but I am very grateful that you forgave my waywardness. And I Your Occlumency was learned a long time ago, and it wasn't learned to guard against you."

But not only to prevent you, but also to prevent everyone from peeking at my brain.

"Hehehe, you can understand, that would be great." Dumbledore smiled, and continued:

"Connor, sometimes it's hard for me to treat you as a real child... You are excellent, not referring to your excellence in learning magic, but your excellence in your willingness to stand up and save others..."

"Compared to your magical talent, I think your kind nature is more precious."

Is this... being issued a good person card?

"Professor, I just did what I thought I should do...it's nothing special..."

Connor scratched his head, feeling that Dumbledore's eyes were really not good, the person sitting in front of you is an evil capitalist, I'm not a good person!
"I trust my vision." Dumbledore regained his composure, picked up the pile of cockroaches, and said with a smile, "Connor, you are my student, you are entitled to know some special secrets..."

After talking for a long time, you are finally going to talk about business.

"Connor, what I'm going to tell you next needs to be kept secret. You can't tell others, not even your grandfather. Can you guarantee it?"

"En!" Connor nodded firmly, he was very curious about all the secrets.

Dumbledore's expression was serious, as if he was about to tell a shocking secret:

-

"Voldemort, he's not dead."

"..."

"..."

The air was suddenly quiet, and Connor's eyes widened on one side and narrowed on the other, with a strange expression: "That's... that's it?"

"...It seems that you have expected this for a long time?"

"..." Is this really a secret?Connor sighed and said:
"My grandfather talked to me about this possibility, and Professor Knott talked to me about it before, so I'm not surprised."

"Oh, that's what it is, but I can tell you very clearly that Voldemort is really not dead."

"..." What expression should I show?Shock?Fear?worried?Forget it, it's still the omnipotent dead fisheye.

"Well, it seems that you are not afraid of Voldemort, yes, you have beheaded him after all." Dumbledore chuckled, "It's good that you are not afraid of him, but you must not underestimate him." He, Connor."

"Voldemort's strength in his heyday was comparable to mine. He was very powerful and disregarded life. Now you have absolutely no chance of winning against him. Of course, these are not the point..."

"The point is, I still haven't figured out the reason why he can not die."

"We can defeat him, but we can't kill him completely? An unkillable tyrannical black wizard is a disaster for our world."

Connor opened his mouth, but in the end he still didn't say anything about the Horcrux. Unexpectedly, Dumbledore still doesn't know the reason why Voldemort is not dead...

That's right... It should be after the Chamber of Secrets incident that Dumbledore noticed the existence of the Horcrux, so it's better not to talk too much now, anyway... There is still time.

"The appearance of Voldemort was a mistake I made. I have an obligation. I also have a responsibility to get rid of him..." Dumbledore knocked on the table: "Connor, have you heard the prophecy of the savior?"

Connor rolled his eyes and nodded, "【People with the ability to conquer the Dark Lord were born in a family that defeated the Dark Lord three times. They were born at the end of the seventh month. One of them must die at the hands of the other." ], probably so, right.”

Dumbledore nodded: "That's right, Professor Sybil has the blood of a prophet, and her true predictions have never been missed. This is a very crucial clue and a breakthrough that can completely kill Voldemort."

"Are you going to pin your hopes on that child? The boy who survived the catastrophe, Harry Potter? You hope that a child younger than me can defeat the legendary Dark Lord?" Connor said playfully , he had always wondered how Dumbledore thought of Harry.

"Of course not, but some things will always happen around the [protagonist], just like the birth of an angel has always revolved around you. This time, the child named Harry is the real [protagonist] .”

Connor was noncommittal, he raised his eyebrows: "So, professor, what do you want me to do?"

"Harry will go to school next semester, and his appearance will definitely trigger Voldemort's actions... Voldemort is still very weak, and that will be an opportunity for us..." Dumbledore's eyes became deep:
"A chance to find out how to defeat Voldemort."

"Although I think I can deal with Voldemort by myself without that child, but... that prophecy is really interesting..."

"Connor, whether or not the prophesied child can really defeat Voldemort, I hope he can become a real [hero], and I will lead him on the right path."

"It needs a lot of help, and Connor... your excellent [senior] is very suitable to be Harry's guide."

Connor smashed it and said, "I think I understand what you mean, you want me to be included in your savior training plan."

"Savior..." Dumbledore chuckled and nodded, his tone was very serious:
"You are right, Harry Potter, he will become the real [Savior]."
