Harry Potter's Bastard

Dumbledore wasn't old foolish.

Solim had already discovered Ravenclaw's crown, which Dumbledore had judged, and Solim hadn't hidden it. But what made Dumbledore uncomfortable was that Solim didn't tell him about it in time.

Dumbledore couldn't be blamed for thinking too much.

There is no need for Solim to have a head-on conflict with Voldemort, there is no entanglement of interests between them, and there is no undying grudge against each other, but Solim has obtained three Horcruxes so far, and what are Horcruxes? That is Voldemort's lifeblood, Solim actually has no need to do this, but he not only did it, but also repeatedly handed Voldemort's Horcruxes into his own hands.

What did he want? As a great wizard with a wide range of friends and strong magical powers, Dumbledore knew very well that even if Voldemort fell out, he would not be able to affect a family like Selwyn, although Solim was an illegitimate child, but in terms of his current talent and ability, as long as the elders in their Selwyn family were not idiots, the promising descendants of the family like Solim would definitely take care of them.

But why did he wade into the muddy waters? Dumbledore knew very well that Solim was not a man with a strong sense of justice, and everything he did was done with a strong self-interest and purpose. Although Solim now appears to be on the opposite side of Voldemort, this does not mean that Dumbledore can trust Solim in the same way that he trusts other members of the Order of the Phoenix.

Dumbledore had tried, and tried many times, but what Solim really wanted to do, Dumbledore never figured out. The contradiction between Solim and the Rich family is very fierce, the kind that never stops, which can be seen from this triwizard tournament.

Solim gave him the ring of the Gaunt family to thank Hogwarts for taking him in, gave him the diary at Snape's house, and today let himself see Voldemort's third Horcrux. The problem that he had been bothered with was proved by the evidence brought by Solim in the first grade, and then when he was still sorting through the information and past memories, and was about to find clues to the Horcruxes, Solim, a student, had already found three.

Dumbledore didn't know how Solim did it.

Tom Marvolo Riddle, Voldemort's name is not a secret to some wizards, if it is associated with the Gaunt family through his middle name, it can also be rounded, so Solim was able to get the ring, Dumbledore thought it was quite explainable.

It makes sense to find a breakthrough in the Death Eaters and think that Voldemort might give the Horcruxes to one of the Death Eaters, but the core Death Eaters, the most loyal of them, are either dead or imprisoned in Azkaban. Where did Solim get the news from? And then got the diary from Malfoy's house? And why did Malfoy give it to him? Dumbledore didn't believe that Malfoy would not know what the Horcruxes meant to Voldemort, even if Malfoy was now down, but for a long-standing wizarding family, this knowledge must be recorded. However, Malfoy actually gave a Horcrux that was vital to Voldemort to a young wizard. What kind of person Lucius Malfoy was, Dumbledore knew very well. For Lucius, the interests of the Malfoy family came first, and without a big enough benefit, Lucius would never risk offending Voldemort. From this, Dumbledore could even infer that Solim and Lucius had made a deal in private. But this still doesn't explain how Solim knew that Malfoy had a Voldemort Horcrux in his house, this kind of thing doesn't need to be thought about, whether it's Voldemort or Lucius, they will never talk about that diary all over the place. But Solim knew, and he got his hands on the diary, which was vital to both Voldemort and Malfoy, and gave it to himself.

Admittedly, Dumbledore was pleasantly surprised when he first saw the diary, because another Voldemort's Horcrux was exposed, but later when Dumbledore was sorting through his memories, he found that Solim's attitude towards Riddle in the diary was a little strange. Dumbledore didn't know how to describe it, it was a one-sided familiarity, and Dumbledore could bet with his own beard that it was definitely the first time Solim had seen Riddle.

And this time again, quietly, without any mental preparation in advance, Solim let himself see Voldemort's Horcrux again.

What exactly does this kid want to do? Does he really want to do something for the wizarding world? Or does he have another purpose?

"I think you've heard of it," Dumbledore finally spoke, "I've formed a wizarding organization dedicated to fighting darkness and evil. "

"Order of the Phoenix. Solim nodded, this wizarding organization existed to fight Voldemort, everything they did was to end Voldemort as the ultimate goal, and they didn't care about anything else.

"That's right, it's the Order of the Phoenix. Dumbledore said, "At the time when the name Voldemort was just spreading in the wizarding world, I formed this group to contain and suppress Voldemort and the wizards and dark creatures who clinged to him. "

"But most of these brave and fearless wizards didn't end well. Solim didn't shy away from anything, and said this sentence directly, "Don't talk about anyone else, what is the situation of my cousin's parents now, I believe you also know it, Weasley's two uncles also died for unknown reasons, Susan Bones's uncles and brothers also died, and now there is no man left in the Bones family...... Do you need me to go on?"

"I'm not the kind of person who can sacrifice myself for others, so please be clear about that, Headmaster. Solim was blunt, "I'm a person who doesn't like to be constrained – I mean, of course, when there is a choice." If I join the Order of the Phoenix, does that mean I'm going to do things for the Order of the Phoenix? Does it mean that I'm going to be part of the Order of the Phoenix? Does it mean that I'm going to have to make some choice between the Order of the Phoenix and me personally?"

"If joining the Order of the Phoenix meant going on the opposite side of Voldemort, I did that when I was in my first year - when I handed you the Resurrection Stone in the Headmaster's Office. And in terms of what I've done today, including, of course, the past, I think I've contributed more to the Order of the Phoenix than the vast majority of the Order of the Phoenix. "

"So what does it matter if I join or not?"
