I earned 100 million Galleons at Hogwarts

Chapter 77 Brock Elf Pendant

The Sorting Hat closed itself, lying on the shelf unwilling to speak again.

John looked at Dumbledore and asked, "Professor, what do you want me to do?"

Dumbledore replied with a smile: "Your performance today was wonderful!"

"Thank you for the compliment."

John looked at Dumbledore expectantly, motioning for him to continue boasting.

It's a pity that Dumbledore didn't talk about it. He changed the subject and said another thing: "You seem to have expected that someone would harm you."

"No, I just made a small preparation in advance, because something bad happened to Harry yesterday. He is a freshman, and so am I." John replied.

"Oh?" Dumbledore was a little surprised, "You mean that because you are all freshmen, that person will hurt you?"

John replied: "Well, that's what I thought, after all Harry and I have nothing else in common."

Dumbledore nodded, and said with some confusion: "But I didn't usually notice that Professor Quirrell was annoying the first-year students."

This old man doesn't understand the world!
Seeing the smile hidden on Dumbledore's face, John rolled his eyes and said, "Did you realize something was wrong with him?"

Dumbledore raised his eyebrows: "He's not very cautious, and the use of magic will leave traces, but he didn't eliminate it, so I pulled out his melon along the vine, how about you? How did you find it?"

"Before Halloween, we accidentally discovered that Professor Quirrell was secretly raising the giant monster. Coupled with the news of the things on the fourth floor and the theft of Gringotts, we became a little more vigilant about him, and then we made a mistake. The collision made his plan fail, so he has always been hostile to us."

John said.

"After Harry's accident, I followed your previous suggestion and used my brain flexibly. I was afraid that Professor Quirrell would take this opportunity to do something to me, so I made extra preparations. But I haven't Come to understand, why would he hurt Harry?"

"I really don't understand?"

John was reflected in Dumbledore's pupils, as if he wanted to analyze him thoroughly.

John nodded calmly.

Anyway, he had a pendant made by Ian hanging around his neck. Even if Dumbledore stared out his eyes, he couldn't detect the true thoughts in his mind.

"Well, I can tell you, but you have to keep it a secret from others, otherwise it will cause confusion." Dumbledore said.

here we go again.
Hearing the same words as the Sorting Hat just now, John nodded helplessly.

Dumbledore said: "I feel a familiar breath in his magic. He is probably my old friend, Voldemort."

The word Voldemort seemed to have magical power. As soon as Dumbledore spit it out, the room fell into silence, and the temperature seemed to drop a lot.

"Mysterious man? Isn't he dead?" John asked with a frown.

Dumbledore shook his head: "He must still be alive in this world in some way, but he may still be very weak."

"Why are you so sure?" John looked up at Dumbledore.

Dumbledore said: "Because of the magic on Harry, his mother cast a love spell on him before he died, which can protect him. Now the magic has not expired, so Voldemort must still be alive."

It turned out to be so.
John nodded, and then asked: "Then you realized that he might be Voldemort, why did you allow him to move freely in the academy, isn't it very dangerous to those unaware students?"

"As I said, he is very weak now, so he is not fully sure, and he must not dare to make a move easily. As for the two of you"

Dumbledore frowned, and he didn't think of a reasonable explanation. He didn't know why Voldemort would do such a useless move to expose himself at this juncture.

"I can only attribute it to the fact that his anger at you overshadows his intelligence, so as long as the other students don't deliberately provoke him, they are all safe."

John asked: "Oh? Then wouldn't Harry and I still be in danger?"

Dumbledore said: "No, from now on I will always pay attention to his movements to ensure your safety."

"Okay." John continued to ask, "Then what did you put on the fourth floor to make him come to the school from Gringotts, and even become a teacher willingly?"

Dumbledore blinked: "A little thing I borrowed from a friend, to be honest, I was a little moved just looking at it."

"What?" John asked cooperatively.

"Magic stone."

"Oh? The legendary magic stone that can make the elixir of life, does it really exist?!"

John's pupils widened in surprise, his voice was high-pitched, and his acting skills were brought into full play.

Dumbledore replied with a smile: "Of course, otherwise my old friend wouldn't be able to live to this day."

"No wonder Voldemort is willing to take such a big risk." After John muttered to himself, he looked up at Dumbledore again, "Then you tell me this, is it to let me fulfill your request?"

"No no." Dumbledore waved his hand, "That request is very precious, and it would be too wasteful to use it here."

"Then you?"

"I'm telling you this just so that you don't try to trouble Professor Quirrell. If you get in a hurry, he will jump over the wall, and I can't keep an eye on you all the time."

Dumbledore said with a smile,

"And the most important thing is, you guys don't go to the fourth floor and destroy the things I arranged, that's not for you."

John raised his eyebrows: "For Harry?"

"Yes."

John asked: "If Voldemort does come back to life, are you going to send Harry to deal with him? You believe that prophecy so much?"

Dumbledore did not answer John's question, but said firmly: "If Voldemort is resurrected, Harry will defeat him again!"

"What if he fails?" John asked puzzled.

Dumbledore can't predict the future, why is he so sure?
"He will not fail, and I will help him to succeed step by step." Dumbledore said slowly.

Looking at the silver-haired old man in front of him, John instantly understood what Dumbledore meant.

While Dumbledore doesn't care about that prophecy, others do!

Because Harry has defeated Voldemort, it is easy to believe that he can defeat Voldemort again.

Harry is a banner. As long as he is alive, people will still have the courage to resist when they look at him.

As long as Harry has courage and knows how to unite the people around him, then he can follow the path Dumbledore paved for him and defeat Voldemort.

In the future, Dumbledore gave everything of himself, including his life, just to pave the way for Harry and return the wizarding world to peace.

John looked at Dumbledore with a touch of respect in his eyes.

Dumbledore looked at John and said with a smile: "Okay, you go back and celebrate with your classmates, I told you everything, I hope you don't ruin my plan, or you may have to face Voldemort in the future gone."

John stood up and shrugged: "Don't worry, professor, I will never go to this muddy water."

After John left, Dumbledore stared at the tabletop for a long time, like a stone statue baptized by time.

After a long time, Dumbledore suddenly said, "What do you think is hiding in John's mind?"

"I don't know." The Sorting Hat on the shelf replied, "There is a mask in his mind, and all I can see are some superficial things, which don't have much reference value."

"Ian"

Dumbledore heaved a long sigh.

What hangs around John's neck is not an ordinary prop, nor is it made by Ian.

The original name of the pendant was Bullock's Elf Pendant. It was an heirloom of the Bullock family and Ian's most precious thing.

It can make a person's mind consciousness like a fortress, and Legilimency, Veritaserum, and even the Imperius Curse can't work on the wearer.

From the first day Dumbledore met John, Ian hung the pendant around his neck.

And it was cursed, and anyone who took it down, except John, would be punished cruelly.

Dumbledore looked up at the ceiling and muttered to himself, "What else are you hiding from me?"
