war and peace

On the day of the meeting, the "Daily Prophet" published the Double Seven Agreement (the draft settlement agreement between the Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters), and it has to be said that Chester's work efficiency is simply top-notch.Most people breathed a sigh of relief, there is nothing more worrying than the cloud of war looming overhead.It would be great if both sides are willing to negotiate a peace now, and the draft will come out much sooner than they imagined.Overall, those entries are concise and effective, and the last one is eye-popping.But for ordinary people, the reason is not important, but the result is important, because they have been looking forward to the end of the war.They have only one sentence to express their feelings, which is Merlin Blessing.

In the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office, Harry looked down at the comments in the newspaper.The year they disappeared, Dumbledore found a substitute teacher.But they couldn't open the door of the office after trying all kinds of methods, so they had to find another empty room as a temporary office.

Voldemort passed behind him, casting a casual glance. "Merlin...tsk!" He said impatiently, "Merlin and God are useless, friend..." Does he have any friends?

"You and me." Harry said directly without looking up. "Stop talking about it." The second half of the sentence must be believed only by himself, and he had to say that he didn't want to hear this sentence at all.

Voldemort paused.He really didn't want to admit that Harry knew him better since the soul fusion.Like right now, he's using Occlumency (all the time), and Harry has no trouble understanding what he's going to say next.

"By the way, I have something to tell you." Harry didn't seem to notice his pause, but just folded the newspaper and looked up at him. "Now that I have grown up, can I graduate from Hogwarts in advance?"

"Anytime," Voldemort replied.He stared at Harry with interest: "What, you want to skip a grade now?"

"It's too much trouble otherwise," Harry said succinctly.He had to become a person who could stand alone, and the identity of a student was really not very convincing.Then he thought of a question that he had to verify, "Is the soul fusion stable? Is there no problem?"

Voldemort glanced at him, "Isn't the answer in your head?"

head on?That lightning-shaped scar?Harry froze, then immediately reached out to touch it.The bulge on his forehead disappeared (it was covered by his hair so no one could see it), and it was hard for him to get used to it. "Where did it go?" He was a little puzzled, but he seemed to understand a little bit.Because the soul merged, so the scar disappeared too?Before, he had always wanted to succeed, but when this moment came, he felt uneasy, afraid of any accidents.

"Gone, forever." Seeing his worried expression, Voldemort deliberately put on a serious face: "If you miss it, I can split again."

Harry shot him an annoyed look. "Don't make fun of this kind of thing!"

"Okay." Voldemort just couldn't help teasing him, because he could see that the boy seemed to have something on his mind, but this rebound performance was really as he expected. "Having said that, you really managed to trick me. How did you think of using the Flashback Curse in your memory?"

"I asked Hermione to find it for me." Harry replied angrily, still angry. "If you don't tell me, I wasted three or four months of my time! When I wake up, I still look like I'm about to die!"

Voldemort wasn't very surprised: "If it's Hermione, then it does make sense." He noticed Harry's face turned away, and couldn't help lowering his voice: "Look, aren't we all fine now?"

Hermione had always been a very bright girl, and Harry never envied her for that.But what about his own death... Harry snorted loudly, still ignoring him.

"You still haven't really understood how that ring works, have you?" Voldemort wanted to sigh, and he found that he seemed to have used the Savior too much.

Harry was perked up by the subject. "Didn't you make a new choice?"

"You missed a very important adverbial." Voldemort looked at him with a focused expression: "Tell me, what did you think the moment you saw the flashback spell?"

"Adverbial?" Harry frowned, "What could I have thought at that time? 'You really lied to me?' Or 'It was really the right choice not to let you die before?'" He said, I understood first, and my expression shook: "It's not just about making a choice! It's about making a new choice for each other!" When they make new choices for each other, it's when their souls return to their bodies .In the world of his own memory, he had already wavered when he said that he would take the unconscious Voldemort to the Forbidden Forest, and the flashback spell confirmed his choice.This also makes sense, in Voldemort's memory world, Tom did want to stab at the end, but in the end he only saw the prelude of this action and returned to reality.

"Exactly," said Voldemort softly.He slowly saw this in his own step-by-step plan.It's useless no matter how much he does, the decision is not in his hands.There's no point in cheating, he can only show Harry in the most ruthless and decisive way, and let the latter judge for himself.He had no choice but to give it a go. Fortunately, Harry did not disappoint him as always.As for Harry, although the boy didn't know it, there was no doubt that the boy was doing very well.Coupled with the help of Slytherin, it turned out that the time consumed was even shorter than him.

Harry looked at him, the expression on his face improving. "You really are still a Slytherin, and I'm so grateful for that now." There was a bit of resentment in his final tone.In terms of shrewdness, he is still far behind!

"That sounds like a compliment," Voldemort commented solemnly.

Harry was angry and amused.He knocked on the table. "Don't think this is the end of it. Honestly, what's with that last agreement of yours? I don't think that's something you could have done at all." Word got out, and the Death Eaters had to disappear.But according to Voldemort's mind, he must have prepared another way.

"I just think that I probably don't need so many men." Voldemort spread his hands, "This is a great opportunity to reduce the number of people."

Harry looked at him suspiciously: "Didn't you start doing this very early?" From Wormtail to Karkaroff, weren't they all abandoned?

"The Order of the Phoenix gave me an excellent reason, which is upright and upright, wouldn't it be too stupid not to use it?" Voldemort chuckled lightly, his black jade-like eyes gleaming, "To put it bluntly, they might still think that they It took a lot of advantage, right? But I think Dumbledore should have noticed, but he can't help it." When he said the last, his tone rose, obviously in a good mood.

Harry thought of Voldemort's cold and heavy tone when he said in front of everyone that he would disband the Death Eaters, and then thought of the incredible members of the Order of the Phoenix, and the Death Eaters kneeling on the ground in fear, and he couldn't help feeling a chill run down his back.Voldemort is totally playing with a large group of people, right? "The acting skills are really good, as expected of the Dark Lord." Harry smirked and complimented him.But he felt very complicated: on the one hand, he had to sigh for such a scheming, but on the other hand, he was inexplicably at ease-Voldemort had never seriously talked to him about this issue before. "Does that mean Death Eater activity is going completely underground?"

"No," Voldemort denied. "When I say they're gone, they're gone," he said emphatically.

Harry raised an eyebrow high. "But it's impossible! Without the Death Eaters, are you going to start a new organization?"

"No." Voldemort shook his head again, looking at the boy's eyebrows raised in amusement. "It's just reverting to the former Death Eater."

Harry was completely bewildered, he had never heard of Death Eaters and their predecessors.

"The Knights of Walpurgis," said Voldemort softly, "and this will be the only one from now on."

Harry repeated the word in his mind without asking further.And Voldemort looked at him, not intending to ask Harry about that grounded Hogwarts.The two of them knew each other's bottom line, and Harry said that only to stabilize the Order of the Phoenix, after all, Dumbledore's prestige was much higher than his.But in fact, the latter couldn't see him at all.Harry clearly knew this, but he said it anyway.Within the tolerance range, they unanimously chose to leave more space for each other: he gave the Order of the Phoenix enough face on the surface, and Harry used his life guarantee in exchange for his freedom.

They have faced the cruel truth together, and now they have given all their efforts and trust to each other.Voldemort thought to himself that he still needed some nice finishing touches on his part, even if the other party didn't tell him.What Harry wanted to do he didn't know, but his boy seemed to have an idea, probably really grown up...

After lunch, Harry returned to Gryffindor Tower.When the armistice agreement was signed in the early morning, the two sides quarreled and delayed until the sun was about to rise before it was almost done.Then he and Voldemort talked for a while in the office only the two of them had access to, and only now had time to rest.But he obviously forgot one thing, that is, although Sirius said with a troubled face that he wanted to go back and think about it (it was still stimulated), but there was still one person waiting for him.

"Harry!" Harry had just crawled in through the portrait hole when Hermione spotted him. "I need an explanation!" She clutches a newspaper, but still looks concerned (because she's messing up her hair involuntarily).

Harry had to tell Hermione everything that had happened since last night.He skipped over the specifics of his fight with Voldemort, saying only that they had an argument and settled it.Then there was the process of signing the agreement. Hermione was very nervous when she heard that Moody wanted to make the last request to Voldemort.

"I knew it would be like this! Someone must be dissatisfied!" Hermione commented on Moody's actions. "But Voldemort really wants to disband the Death Eaters?" she asked skeptically.

"Even you don't believe it." Harry laughed dryly. "Yes, he said there really would be no more Death Eaters, but there will be their predecessors."

Hermione's eyes widened. "What is it?"

Harry told her the awkward name.

Hermione bit her lower lip, looking like she was thinking about something. "Seems like a very smart move," she said, and waved her hand. "But what's the name? As long as Voldemort is in his right mind." She looked at Harry again, with obvious concern in her voice: "Say Really, you two can't really stay in Hogwarts all your life, can you?"

"You know, Voldemort is like his own home in and out of Hogwarts. But I think this is the limit of Voldemort. No one can lock him up." Harry replied, with imperceptible disappointment in his voice. my own.Dumbledore said that people who are still alive should be considered, and this problem is about to be resolved.But then he began to wonder if he hadn't done enough for those who died innocently?Is there anything else I can do?Or in other words, is his thinking too aggressive?So he held back in front of Voldemort just now, but he couldn't help showing this emotion when facing Hermione.

Hermione looked at him deeply, and it took a long time before she made a sound. "You really don't have to blame yourself for this, Harry. No one can do it better than you. You may think it's a big lie, but it's not a compromise." She put her hand on Harry's shoulder, "You stuck to your bottom line from the very beginning, never backed down, and never gave up, didn't you?"

Then Hermione started pushing Harry to sleep.But as soon as she was sure that Harry would not be going down the corner stairs again, she stood up.

The author has something to say: 1. The detailed setting of the two-line memory world: [The reason why I only announced it now is because I am afraid of spoilers ==]

Harry's soul enters a world based on Voldemort's memories

Voldemort's soul enters a world based on Harry's memories

The condition of clearance is that the person who enters makes the other party make a new and decisive choice

If the soul is injured, it will be indirectly manifested in the physical condition [the reason why Harry just woke up and found that Voldemort was very weak] If it fails (for example, the soul dies in the memory world), the consequence is that the soul disappears and can never return to the body [That's why Harry uses the dementor's kiss as a metaphor] Two-way influence, only two people wake up is the ultimate success

The result of success will be revealed later [Your last sentence is too cheating! 】
