HP the red-haired savior

From the beginning of the Azkaban incident, Dumbledore had a feeling that things were out of control.

After Charlie Potter interrupted Moody's - although it was a fake - wand and left Hogwarts, Dumbledore was basically sure that the person beyond his control was Charlie Potter, his little savior .

He asked Severus to test Harry Potter, to confirm whether Harry Potter was on Voldemort's side, and whether he was the one who created the Azkaban incident.Severus' reply was "It's just because I can't stand Moody, what else?" pretending to be dismissive, but Dumbledore wouldn't really believe Snape's words.

Yes, Dumbledore undoubtedly trusted Snape, because Snape had Lily in his heart, and for Lily, he could fight the Dark Lord; but also, for Lily's child, he could also lie to Dumbledore.

Dumbledore trusted his own judgment. He was almost certain that Charlie Potter was the one who destroyed Azkaban, wiped out the Dementors, and unleashed the Death Eaters.However, when he heard Snape's words, he subconsciously made himself "believe".This can be regarded as a kind of self-deception, but Dumbledore is also human after all, he does not want the little savior to become someone from the Dark Lord's side.

After that, the magic world was calm for a while, but was broken by Karkaroff's death.

Igor Karkaroff, who was originally a Death Eater, was captured and brought to Azkaban by Alastor Moody after six months of pursuit.When Karkaroff was tried, he was already facing life imprisonment in Azkaban after the downfall of Voldemort, but he reached an agreement with Crouch, the former director of the Magic Law Enforcement Department, to confess other Death Eaters at the Magic Law Council name as a condition for his release from prison.He betrayed his associates and confessed the other Death Eaters, in exchange for the benefit of avoiding punishment.Karkaroff later became the principal of the Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, teaching students the Dark Arts.

And Karkaroff's death became a switch that turned on the death of various wizards who betrayed Voldemort.No matter who the wizard is, how much wealth he owns, and how many "bodyguards" he hires, he will always leave behind a corpse, accompanied by the Dark Mark in the sky.

Dumbledore clearly realized that this was Voldemort's return.

Harry, on the other hand, hadn't grown up at all.

Dumbledore handed Harry over to Snape, and he believed that Severus would definitely teach Harry seriously-because Severus would not want Lily's child to die in the war.

In a way, he was indeed using Snape.But so what?All for the greatest good.And Dumbledore's interest is the peace and stability of the wizarding world.

There is no peace and security without the Dark Lord, without the Death Eaters.

Changes came quickly, for Dumbledore.

Dumbledore was sitting in the Headmaster's office eating Bibi's Dolce Beans when news of Gellert's death came.

He looked at the headline on the front page of the Prophet, which read in large black letters, "A generation of Dark Lord Gellert Grindelwald died in Nurmengard", and suddenly felt a sense of emptiness in his heart.

His hand paused, and he took out a Bibi multi-flavored bean from the bag and put it in his mouth.

Indescribably unpalatable.

He didn't seem to be affected at all, and continued to be his principal, continued to lead the Order of the Phoenix, and dealt with Death Eaters.

The Death Eaters had a "carnival" on the day of the Quidditch World Cup final, and Voldemort officially announced his return.Dumbledore could feel that Voldemort was stronger than before, but he himself was getting old.

Dumbledore had a rare sense of anxiety, worrying that he might not be as powerful as Voldemort in terms of magic power, but Harry, his savior, hadn't grown up to a level comparable to Voldemort.

But fortunately, the Death Eaters gained momentum quickly, and it was only in the first few months; later on, neither the Death Eaters nor the Order of the Phoenix could take advantage of it, and it was a tie.To Dumbledore's relief, Voldemort did not appear, and Charlie Potter, who he thought had turned to Voldemort, did not appear either.

Maybe what Severus said is true, Xiali is just because he can't stand "Moody" who repeatedly treats him differently... He didn't betray Gryffindor, he didn't join Voldemort, the mastermind of the Azkaban incident There are other people.

At that time, this wise old man really immersed himself in this innocent thought for a moment.

It was a fluke, a fluke not willing to face.And this fluke was broken a year later.

"Now the Dark Lord is back, and I am on his side."

Standing at the door of the principal's office, Dumbledore couldn't help sighing as he looked at the young man in the principal's office who was talking to the Sorting Hat.

Charlie Potter.

He has short red hair like flames and golden eyes that are as bright as stars, which is why he is called "Son of Gryffindor".

I didn't think so when I was young, but looking at it now, Dumbledore realized that Charlie Potter didn't look like James, nor did he look like Lily.

Hearing his sigh, Charlie turned around, the smile on his face the same as always - bright, dazzling, with sweet innocence.

But Dumbledore felt nothing but coldness.

He thought it was a lion cub, but he didn't expect it to be a snake wearing a lion's skin.

Then, Dumbledore was a little surprised when Charlie challenged him to a duel.

After all, he is a long-established white wizard. Charlie Potter is only 15 years old now, and has only studied at Hogwarts for less than four years—so, where did Harry Potter get the confidence to defeat him?

But, no matter what, Dumbledore didn't want to take on the duel.

Decades ago, when he dueled with Gellert, there were conditions—if Gellert lost, the saint would never set foot on the British peninsula; but it is different now, Dumbledore does not engage in pointless duels.

"I think Mr. Principal doesn't want me to 'duel' those members of the Order of the Phoenix?"

While saying these words, it also released a powerful coercion.

Facing the threat from Charlie Potter, Dumbledore was angry and disappointed, but at the same time, he also thought very quickly, thinking very rationally.

If Charlie Potter were allowed to "duel" members of the Order of the Phoenix - they both knew it wasn't a duel at all - it would definitely hurt the members of the Order of the Phoenix.Dumbledore didn't know who the "those people" that Charlie Potter was talking about were just a few, or did they include all members of the Order of the Phoenix?

He can't afford to gamble.

From an emotional point of view, the members of the Order of the Phoenix are all his friends and juniors, and he does not want them to be injured or even die because of him; Also won.

He couldn't fight so many Death Eaters alone.

Therefore, Dumbledore agreed to the duel invitation from Charlie Potter.

Even if the other party set the location at Hogwarts later, he did not object.

He couldn't object.

He felt guilty because he didn't protect Hogwarts well - Hogwarts, which was supposed to be a pure land, ended up being stained with war because of his selfishness.

The duel took place on the Quidditch pitch, Voldemort came with Death Eaters, people from the Order of the Phoenix came, people from the Ministry of Magic came, reporters came, little wizards from Hogwarts—those who are above the fourth grade - also came.

Dumbledore went to the duel with a solemn and tragic mood. The wind blew his completely white hair and beard, but in front of his eyes somehow appeared the memory of Gellert in Godric's Hollow when he was young. day.

A powerful wizard has more or less intuition.

Dumbledore felt that he might... lose.

Therefore, during the duel, Dumbledore stopped for a moment because of a mutant "fluorescent flash" of the opponent, and then was handed over his wand by "Expelling You" and was frozen in shape by "All Petrified", Dumbledore was actually not surprise.

He could feel that he had become a stone sculpture, probably except that he could hear, see, and think, he was no different from a statue.

He could also imagine how much his failure would affect people.

But soon he had no time to think about it.

He heard Charlie Potter say the spell for the first time today - "Bones to pieces".

He thought he was indeed going to die.

In the few moments before he died, Dumbledore was not thinking about the Order of the Phoenix, not about the future of the magic world, not about the justice and interests he had always insisted on, but about Gellert.

Gellert, who died a year ago.

Now, he is also going to die.

In a trance, it seems that I saw myself when I was young again.

The blond-haired boy and the red-haired boy were lying side by side on the lawn in Godric's Valley. The night was dark, the stars and the moon were shining brightly, and the breeze blew past, blowing away the whispers between them.
