Chapter 226 Sally Forrest
"I have doubted his words, and I know very well that not all prophecies can become established facts. If people need me to stand up, then I will stand up."

Dumbledore said quietly.

"I have found him many times. He is very powerful. There is almost no one in the magic world who is stronger than him. Even I dare not say that he is stronger than him. But in the real battle of life and death, I still managed to win by a narrow margin and nearly killed him three times."

"But maybe it's really the arrangement of fate. Every time when I feel that I am about to succeed, the strange feeling that I have been feeling will suddenly come to me and tell me, "You can't kill his Albus, you can't kill him Yes", Tom never showed any cowardice before he was about to die. I know he is so afraid of death, but there is only sarcasm in the eyes that look at me, which is a kind of sarcasm that scares me .”

"His eyes are telling me that he knows very well that no matter how strong I am, I can't kill him, but every time I fight him to the death, my health will get worse and worse. He is proficient in all kinds of things. This kind of black magic, there are many unorthodox curses that have no solution at all, once infected, it is doomed to bear for a lifetime, the longer I entangle with him, I will only lose my last bit of capital to deter him."

There was not much resentment and unwillingness in Dumbledore's tone, but a touch of regret.

"From that time on, I noticed Tom's specialness. He had been insinuating about the magic of immortality from various professors when he was studying at Hogwarts. Obviously, he had already achieved a lot of results, or It's exactly what he wanted."

"I hadn't thought about Horcruxes at the time. In the magic world, there seem to be few correct and evil magics that can save people from death, but in fact, the ones that really exist are very hidden. With Tom's talent, he can make it himself. It doesn't even surprise me that such a magic is created."

"So I gave up trying to figure out a way to kill him with my own hands, and instead researched what kind of magic he has mastered to make him so dependent."

"I didn't tell anyone about these things, and only a small number of people in the Order of the Phoenix knew about them. After Tom was sure that I really had nothing to do with him, he became even more unscrupulous. At this time, your mother Sarah Lily she found me privately."

"At that time, she was one of the few people who knew the inside story. She told me that she had a breakthrough research on soul magic, and she might have a chance to successfully kill him!"

"After all, most of the magic about immortality only acts on the body, and very few directly affect the soul. Even if there is a problem at the soul level, it will cause irreversible damage."

"Your mother's talent in soul magic is the highest among wizards I have ever seen. After listening to her detailed preparations, I think this plan is completely feasible, but the only problem is that if something happens in the middle, It's basically impossible for Sally to come back."

"At that time, your family had just started to live a normal life. Your father had a prominent family background on the Muggle side. In order to be with Sally, he violated his parents' decision and ran out privately. You have only just two If she is more than [-] years old, if something happens to her, then a beautiful family will be completely over."

"I confirmed with her many times, and persuaded her to replace this person with me. I am a bad old man. Even if there is an accident, it will not be a big deal in the end. Being able to drag Tom to death is also a good thing for the world. The last thing to do."

"But Sally had already made up her mind at that time. She was the one who created the magic, and she herself was the most suitable caster. Moreover, if something happened later and Tom was not killed because of it, then I would Can still be the last resort of the magic world, think of other ways."

"I finally agreed to her request to create opportunities for her to make this attempt, and her only request is that she does not want this matter to involve your father and you."

Sherlock held his breath, he could already guess what happened next.

"In order to protect your father, she changed his memory, making your father think that she bewitched him with witchcraft, deceived him, and made him hate herself and all wizards."

Dumbledore said softly.

"On the day your father left, she cried secretly all night. She never said such things in front of me, but I know that she actually hated herself, hated that she was not a good wife, and she was not a good wife. Good mother."

"But some things must be done by someone. No one's life can be easily thrown away, and no one's family can be easily broken up. She thinks that since she has the ability, she should do it herself instead of hiding behind , Waiting for others to go through life and death."

"Only I know what she wants to do, but there are many people who know what she is going to do. Before she leaves, she only has one request, that is, no matter what the result is, she hopes that we can protect you well," she said The only thing she can do as a mother is to get things sorted out while she's alive, so they don't carry over to you when you grow up."

"Then she cleared all the memories of you and your father from her mind, and took advantage of the opportunity we created for her to enter the interior of the Death Eaters and approach Tom."

Sherlock took a deep breath.

"As a result, she failed?"

Dumbledore had an inexplicable expression on his face.

"In the eyes of others, she failed. Tom hasn't changed at all, and he is still acting recklessly in the magic world, but I know what the specific function of her magic is. Later, I saw Tom again with my own eyes. Nothing has changed, but I can tell your mother's plan is working."

"It was at that time that I finally discovered that the undead magic he relies on is actually a Horcrux. The soul is split, as long as one Horcrux is still there, his main soul can be reborn no matter what damage it receives, even if it is directly The Killing Curse for soul-level death also couldn't kill him."

"But your mother should have also discovered this at the time. She had the opportunity to kill Tom directly from the soul level, but she knew that even if she killed it like this, it was meaningless, and Tom could still be resurrected again."

"So she should have chosen another method and hid in Tom's main soul!"
