Dumbledore was silent for a long time, and finally sighed.

"Then, what do you want to do if you don't follow my plan?"

he asked softly.

Esther shook her head with a confused look on her face: "I'm not sure yet."

She really didn't know much about it. After all, when it came to the Elder Wand, although she knew the plot, she really didn't know as much as Dumbledore outside of the plot.

Dumbledore continued: "Since you ask me this, it means that my plan has been successful in the future you see, right?"

"Yes, it's very successful, but the price is also very high." Esther's eyes fell on his hand again, and she couldn't help but said: "You can ask me before destroying the Horcrux, then some pain may be avoided. .”

Dumbledore shook his head: "I don't think I can trouble you too much. You don't think so, but your parents don't want you to take this risk. Since my plan can succeed, then just keep going. You should save me." Those young lives who did not deserve to die in the war, such as Cedric and Sirius."

Esther understood the meaning of this sentence, she frowned and asked: "Don't you want me to interfere with your plan? Have you decided to give up your life?"

She didn't quite understand.

"Ollivander disappeared. As expected, he was caught by Voldemort. Voldemort will definitely learn the secrets of him and Harry's wand from him, so in order to kill Harry, he will definitely choose other wands. "Dumbledore said: "I understand Voldemort's character. In order to be safe, he will definitely choose a more powerful wand, such as the Elder Wand."

The current owner of the Elder Wand is Dumbledore.

The Elder Wand is one of the legendary Deathly Hallows. It is a wand that can make its owner invincible. It can exert great magic power during a duel, and the holder can easily cast powerful magic.

To gain the recognition of the Elder Wand, you only need to defeat the current owner of the Elder Wand, but no one except Dumbledore and Esther knows this yet. Even Ollivander thought that he had to kill the master of the Elder Wand in order to gain the recognition of the Elder Wand and become its next master.

"But you don't have to die for real!" Esther said, "Just pretend to be nice and deceive everyone. Anyway, as long as a disarming curse is used, the Elder Wand will change its owner. It doesn't matter whether it is dead or not."

"Then how can I fake my death in front of everyone and hide it from everyone?"

Esther turned off the engine immediately, and it took her a long time to say: "There will be a solution."

"I have lived for a long time, met many people, and experienced many things. I am not afraid of death. Death is not the end of everything, but the beginning of another adventure."

Dumbledore said to her earnestly: "Every war requires sacrifice, and this is understandable. You may be born into this world with a mission, but that is not your responsibility. You should not be responsible for the life and death of others. , and don’t feel guilty.”

Esther heard these words very clearly. She certainly knew that what Dumbledore said was right and she was very moved.

She is not omniscient and omnipotent. Many times she wants to reverse the situation and can only do so by hurting herself, or by acting more decisively. She saved the lives of Sirius and Cedric, but she did not change the future. The plot remains the same. Going all the way along the original route, and this is the result of her hard work.

For this result, she put herself in danger many times.

His relationship with Madam Pomfrey has improved by leaps and bounds.

She was afraid that she would die, and she was even more afraid that it would cause irreversible harm to the future because of herself.

She walked carefully step by step, wanting to change everyone's fate, but also afraid of changing the original outcome, so even she felt that she sometimes seemed awkward.

It was okay in the first few years, but after Voldemort was truly resurrected, he was walking on thin ice every year, which was too difficult.

"We still have a whole semester, what if we can find a foolproof way to fake death?" Esther finally said.

"It is indeed a bit depressing to talk about the issue of death and immortality so early." Dumbledore sighed: "I really bother you today, so can you tell me how many Horcruxes Voldemort has?"

Esther could tell Dumbledore that she guessed that Dumbledore was not sure whether he would tell him this, so he invited Slughorn back. If he didn't tell him, he could also get help from Slughorn. Raghorn dug some truth out of his mouth.

"There are seven in total. They are the diary from when he was 16 years old. This one has been destroyed by Harry. There are also Slytherin's locket, Hufflepuff's gold cup, Ravenclaw's diadem, and the one you destroyed. Marvolo Gaunt's ring, the serpent Nagini, and later a part of his soul accidentally separated and fell on Harry, so Harry became his seventh Horcrux."

Of these Horcruxes that still exist, except for Ravenclaw's diadem which is hidden in the Room of Requirement and can be found at any time, it is difficult to destroy them even if they are known for a while.

Hufflepuff's golden cup is in the hands of Bellatrix; Slytherin's locket involves real and fake Horcruxes and the death of Sirius' brother Regulus; the big snake Nagini is Voldemort's pet , being around Voldemort all day long, and that part of Harry's body is even more troublesome.

"Then this is good news, at least we have destroyed two, right?" Dumbledore was quite optimistic: "Okay, thank you very much for your help. It's getting late, you can go back and rest."

Esther stood up and was about to leave. Before leaving, she couldn't help but say: "Slytherin's locket was dropped. Even Voldemort himself didn't know this. The whereabouts of the real locket should be found by Klee." Yep, it knows!”

Dumbledore was stunned for a moment: "Who is Kreacher? The house elf from the Black family?"

Esther nodded: "Yes, that's it. Many years ago, Regulus did all this and paid his own life for it."

Dumbledore's eyes flashed with emotion: "Regulus? I remember him. He looks very similar to his brother. He was sorted into Slytherin. His personality is not the same as Sirius at all... Okay, I know. Yes, I will handle this matter."

Esther then turned and left.

She walked in the deserted corridor, exhaled a thick breath, and the emotions in her heart became more solemn.

At this moment, her sharp eyes spotted two figures moving furtively not far away. One of them was the Gryffindor freshman she met on the way to the office.

The other one is also a new Gryffindor.

"This is the second time I've met you." Esther slowed down and walked behind them and said.

The two of them were startled, turned their heads and saw Esther, then turned around and wanted to run away.

Esther waved her magic wand, and the two of them were unable to move for an instant. The boy looked frustrated, as if he couldn't figure out why he had such bad luck, running into Esther twice.

The first time I met Esther, I could let him go, but it turned out that this kid was too bold. Not only did he continue to sneak out from behind, but he even brought his accomplices with him.

So this time she no longer tolerated it.

"Ten points from Gryffindor."
