The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

From the exchange, Dumbledore came to a conclusion - Link is really a very good boy!

Although there have been countless instances in the past that have proven this, Dumbledore has never truly felt that Link could be the 'heir' he entrusted with important tasks until today, and who would even continue to fulfill his dreams after him.

This was due to Link's outstanding strength and talent, but the more critical reason was that Dumbledore discovered that Link had quietly removed the Occlumency when answering his question, which allowed him to perceive Link's answer. It is indeed the truest thought in his heart.

This also allowed Dumbledore to really see Link clearly.

Link Foley will never be like Voldemort.

Because there is always hatred and ambition in Voldemort's heart, what he wants to do has only one purpose, and that is to control and revenge the world.

Link's heart is filled with love!

And this kind of love is not the extreme love for the world, the entire wizarding community, or even the entire Muggle society like Grindelwald and Dumbledore, but a small love for individuals, families, and lovers and friends.

Of course, in terms of greatness, great love far exceeds small love.But in fact, love is love, and there is no difference in essence between them.

Best of all, they are compatible.

If Dumbledore's great love is to be realized, the existence of Voldemort must be completely eliminated, and if Link's small love is to be realized, Voldemort cannot be bypassed, and only after the success of Dumbledore's great love, Link's little love can make things better and more comfortable.

And Link himself also has the courage to swing a knife at those who prevent him from realizing his little love.

As a result, Dumbledore felt that Link and he should have a community of interests and be heirs who could help or even realize his ideals on his behalf.

At least Link was much better than Harry.

After all, although Harry's heart was also full of love under his training, Harry's love was so pure, hazy and idealistic that Harry's practicality was so weak that it exploded.

Confirming the final conclusion he had reached in his heart, Dumbledore's eyes towards Link became more and more kind.

He even stepped forward and patted Link on the shoulder, and then said with a smile:

"That's very good, Link. Can you come to my office later? Regarding the design of the third project, I want to hear your opinion as a warrior. I believe it will be helpful to our work. Yes. The password for the office door is – Vanilla Ice Cream.”

"I understand, Headmaster Dumbledore."

Link nodded in agreement.

Dumbledore looked even happier when he saw this, and quickly left Professor Sprout's office after nodding his head.

Of course, out of wanting to keep a low profile, he did not go through the main entrance, but let Phoenix Fox take him directly back to the principal's office.

It's a pity that his idea was not realized in the end.

Because when Link struggled to deal with Professor Sprout's concerned inquiry and left the office, he found the Hufflepuffs gathered in the corridor outside looking at them with admiration as if they were looking at gods. he.

"Link, you are so powerful!" John came over from the crowd, hugged Link's arm and said, "We all heard it, Principal Dumbledore said you are very good!"

Hearing this, Link understood somewhat.

He turned his head and looked at the expressions of everyone around him. As expected, they were all similar to John's expression.

In the eyes of these ordinary students, Dumbledore, the principal known as the most powerful white wizard of this century, may already be a god-like existence.

Link, who was highly praised by Dumbledore, naturally became a demigod.

Link guessed that this was because he had done too many big things recently, and these students were now resistant, otherwise this group of people would probably hold his legs and ask for autographs.

Shaking his head, Link's smile faded.

His view of Dumbledore was different from that of his classmates.

In his eyes, Dumbledore was too dangerous.

The other party is like a black hole. Although you may have the opportunity to explore the truth of the universe and gain unimaginable benefits if you approach it rashly, there is also a high probability of being trapped by it and torn into pieces.

Fortunately, in the previous round of games, Link won.

And since he had won a round, Link felt that he deserved to receive some rewards.

After sorting out his emotions, Link once again got rid of the classmates who were surrounding him asking questions and went directly to the principal's office on the eighth floor.

The gargoyle at the door seemed to be sleeping lazily, its head moving slowly, and there was a faint snore coming from it.

But when Link really got close, it woke up at the right time and said seriously:

"Password!"

"Vanilla ice cream."

The gargoyle jumped aside, revealing the semicircular portal inside.

Link climbed up the stairs and finally entered the office after a while.

Link is actually already very familiar with this principal's office.

After coming in, he relaxed. He smiled and said hello to Phoenix Fox and the still awake portraits on the wall, then sat on the sofa minding his own business.

Dumbledore, who was behind the eagle-legged table, did not stop him when he saw this, but was rather happy to see what happened.

He waited until Link sat down before waving his magic wand, causing an ice cream cone to automatically fly into Link's hand and said:

"Come and try Link, Honeydukes' new seasonal product, vanilla ice cream!"

Link, who had already established basic trust with Dumbledore, was not polite and took a taste directly.

As a result, this ice cream tasted surprisingly good, neither sweet nor greasy but very fragrant. This can be said to be the highest praise that Link, as a Chinese at heart, can give to desserts.

Dumbledore was also very happy about this.

Although eating ice cream in winter is great, it is really something that even a wizard would find difficult to accept. He had also tried to invite Snape and McGonagall before, but the result was that he was scolded.

"It's great if you like it. I still have some here. You can pack some back later."

Dumbledore said with a smile, "Then let's get to the point. Link, I have received the information you asked Snape to tell me earlier. Here, I would like to ask you about your next response. What do you think of the measures and the layout of the third project?”

The cone in Link's hand also has a pointed bottom, which is filled with chocolate to prevent leakage. This is Link's favorite part.

Hearing this, he did not reply immediately. Instead, he put the tip into his mouth and chewed it while staring at Dumbledore.

According to the original work, the reason why Voldemort was resurrected was actually the result of Dumbledore's connivance.

He wanted to use Voldemort's hands to completely eliminate the now corrupt Ministry of Magic, the remaining Death Eater forces, and attack the old aristocratic class, so that the pure-blood supremacy theory would lose the ground for its survival.

Of course, by the way, he also wanted to use Voldemort's own hands to destroy Voldemort's soul in Harry without harming Harry Potter himself, thus causing Voldemort's complete death.

However, Link is absolutely unwilling to see this kind of thing, because essentially the Foley family belongs to the old aristocratic class and is a vested interest in pure-blood supremacy.

PG determines the head, so Link will naturally not do such stupid things as hitting himself.

So he said firmly after hesitating for a moment:

"First of all, Voldemort cannot be resurrected. Once he resurrects, those ambitious pro-Black faction forces will immediately attract them like flies that smell a bad smell, causing his Death Eater forces to expand violently in a short period of time and return quickly. The original heyday scale.

This will directly cause social unrest and instability and destroy the beautiful life that we have spent more than ten years trying to build.

Not only the Foley family disagrees with this, but also the tens of thousands of ordinary wizards in the magic world of the country will never agree! "

Link's powerful speech woke up the portraits of the previous principals who were still sleeping. They remained silent and looked at Link and Dumbledore with bright eyes, as if expecting what Dumbledore would answer.

But Dumbledore had no intention of answering at all. He looked at Link with an inexplicable expression and said:

"Then if you follow your idea, how can you achieve this goal?"

"It's very simple! With the primary goal of preventing Voldemort from being resurrected, and the secondary goal of killing the Death Eaters hidden in the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts, we will set up traps in the third event of the Triwizard Tournament and advance in advance. Ambush, use your plan, and lure them into taking the bait!"

"The intention of doing this is too obvious. Don't forget that there are also traitors in the organizing committee of the Triwizard Tournament at Hogwarts. It is difficult to hide this matter from them. How can you guarantee that they will take the bait?"

Link's eyes became a little cold and he said expressionlessly:

"They want Harry to be used as a ritual material and sacrifice for Voldemort's resurrection. Only in this way can Voldemort regain the power he had at his peak."

"You mean...using Harry as bait?" Dumbledore's pupils shrank sharply, and he stared into Link's eyes and said, "Harry is your friend, and you should also know that he treats Silver Les, what kind of significance does your Professor Snape have? But even so, do you plan to do this? Aren't you ashamed? "

"Pfft!"

Hearing this, Link laughed out loud, and then Dumbledore said contemptuously, "Stop pretending, my Principal Dumbledore, why don't we all be honest?

Wasn't it you who was always doing this kind of thing using Harry?Just admit it.You just want to use Harry and the prophecy to completely eliminate Voldemort! "

"prophecy?"

Dumbledore said every word.

His voice was extremely cold, and the chill emanating from it even caused Fox to scream.

"Yeah, that weird prophecy concocted by Perilawney.

The one who has the power to defeat the Dark Lord is approaching...will be born into the family that has resisted him three times, and at the end of July...the Dark Lord will mark him as his rival, but he will have something that the Dark Lord doesn't know The power of... one of them will die at the hand of the other, for both cannot live but only one..."

Link imitated Trelawney's dazed tone and spoke.

This move is a display of strength from Link.

He hopes to cooperate with Dumbledore, borrow Dumbledore's power to fight Voldemort, and gain benefits.

But he didn't want to be casually sacrificed by Dumbledore.

Therefore, it is imperative that the fox pretends to be the tiger and shows off his power.

Link believed that Dumbledore, after hearing this prophecy, would definitely understand that he was not someone to be trifled with, nor was he someone who could be easily manipulated.

After all, any plan Dumbledore has made in the past twenty years to completely eliminate Voldemort has used this prophecy as the core content.

Taking advantage of Voldemort's flaw in believing in the prophecy, he directly controlled Harry Potter, the son of destiny, in advance, planning all the way to promote things to develop in the direction of the prophecy.

If the butterfly Link hadn't suddenly arrived, Voldemort would have fought to the death with Harry as predicted, and would have died completely as Dumbledore expected.

So Link's move to reveal the prophecy was basically like whispering into Dumbledore's ear: 'Stop pretending, brother, I know exactly what you've been thinking about for more than ten years. 'It makes no difference.

One can imagine how much this stimulated Dumbledore.

The only thing Link was wrong about was Dumbledore's reaction.

Dumbledore's face instantly turned cold after hearing the prophecy. At the same time, a powerful magic power emitted from his body unconsciously, forcing all the hairs on Link's body to stand on end.

"How do you know this prophecy?"

A voice as cold as an eternal glacier sounded from Dumbledore's throat.

Hearing this, Link had taken several steps back, and the ebony wand was tightly held in his hand, ready to escape at any time.

However, just after he finished asking, Dumbledore's terrifying aura instantly dissipated.

He shook his head and said:

"Your father told you."

After the pressure was gone, Link let out a big breath, but he was still a little unconvinced and forced himself to say:

"Couldn't it be Professor Snape who told me?"

Dumbledore glanced at Link, and while tidying up the mess on the desk that had been messed up by his magic power, he said calmly, "Severus does know that prophecy, but he only knows that prophecy. part of the prophecy, and what you said is the full version of the prophecy. Although your father was also marked by the Dark Devil, in fact he is our comrade. Out of trust, we also informed the full version of the prophecy. he."

After saying that, he glanced at Link with some disappointment and continued:

"But judging from the current situation, it seems that he has betrayed our trust."

Link didn't speak. He actually didn't know what to say. After all, he didn't expect that Dumbledore's brainstorming ability was so strong that he couldn't even use the words he had prepared.

"Ugh!"

Dumbledore didn't seem to expect any response from Link. He sighed and said, "But it's a good thing if you know these things. The third project will be as you said. You will arrange it here." Hunters outside Hogwarts can also participate on a limited basis.

Next, what we need to talk about is the Horcrux. "
