Gryffindor Proverbs Nine: Let those we love live happily

"I swear, she talks differently to us. It seems to be a real prophecy. You said that there are prophecies that come true in this world, right?" Harry twisted the note in his hand, the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't understand. The more I think about it, the more afraid I become.

Draco felt that the thing he was most worried about might actually happen, no, he didn’t doubt it, he even believed this prophecy more than anyone else, it might be true, just like the basilisk in the second grade, history always seems to be Repeating his own trajectory, no matter how many accidents happened in the middle, maybe this time, in the final of the Goblet of Fire in the fourth grade, the Dark Lord can really be resurrected again!

"Harry, we must tell the professor immediately about this. I think this is a real prophecy."

Harry once thought that Professor Snape would not believe their words. The whole school knew that Professor Trelawney was an old liar, especially their dean was so meticulous and meticulous, but when he put this When the matter was actually repeated to Professor Snape, Professor Snape's expression changed obviously, and he believed that this was a true prophecy without wasting a second, and then took them to the headmaster's office.

After repeating this several times, Harry was able to repeat the prophecy almost word for word when he recounted it to the principal, and after finishing speaking, Harry showed his panic, "Mr. Principal, he is dead, isn't he? He died when we were in first year, is this about Voldemort?"

Principal Dumbledore looked at the pale Harry and the more gloomy Draco, and sighed in his heart. He never wanted these two children to suffer from this. They have suffered enough, but this time, " Harry, Draco, there are some things that I didn’t want to tell you so early, you are too young, life should be happy and simple, some things should not be faced by you—but, now there is no way.” Dumbledore He took out the note written by Regulus before he died, and gave it to the two of them.

Draco and the others had never read that note. It is true that when they saw Sirius open the locket through the night vision glasses, they knew that there was a note in it, but then they also saw Sirius being so strong and hugging him. Weeping sadly while reading the note, Draco cautiously pressed curiosity on this matter, and didn't let Harry ask.I didn't ask anything at the time, and then slowly forgot, so this is the first time I saw the above content.

finish watching.

Harry didn't understand the meaning of 'Horcrux' at all, but he had heard Voldemort's voice coming from the Slytherin locket, so he knew it must be bad.This is not the first time that Draco has seen the word Horcrux. This concept was recorded in Salazar's experimental notes. In Salazar's era, "Horcrux" was still only at the hypothetical stage, but obviously, no matter what Whether it was Salazar 1000 years ago or Draco 1000 years later, they both disagreed with this "Horcrux Hypothetical Theory" and criticized it, so...

"So...the Horcrux, the Dark Lord, he researched it?" Draco couldn't help frowning.

Dumbledore was a little surprised, "Oh, it seems you've heard of this, Draco, what do you think?"

"It is a way of pursuing eternal life, splitting the soul, so that half of it dies, and the other half can continue to live... But the side effects of this are obvious. Without a complete and pure soul as the basis, human reason, emotion, senses, Oh, maybe there is magic power...everything will be affected. I thought this was just an immature hypothesis, and no one would try it, because it was too obvious, and its side effects were too great, and it wouldn't work at all!"

Regarding the rebirth of the Dark Lord, Draco thought about more complex and profound black magic, but never doubted even the slightest possibility of a 'horcrux'.Such things as harming souls are inconceivable for children who have received traditional wizarding education. He would never think that the smart, knowledgeable, and omnipotent Dark Lord would choose to destroy souls!

But the Dark Lord finally did this, and now Draco finally understands that the early Dark Lord may have the air of ruling the world, so he has attracted a lot of people to support him, but later he became more and more crazy, making people complain People betrayed their relatives, probably because of the lack of reason and emotion-it's really crazy, there are thousands of paths to longevity, but in the end they pay such an unequal price, the gain outweighs the loss!

Dumbledore began to explain this matter with a very serious expression, "By killing, split the soul. This is what Tom said in the secret room that day, he surpassed all the achievements of his predecessors, and the reason why he will never die."

Harry's expression changed instantly as he thought of the newspapers he had read last term.Draco could have been better, but then he discovered a problem, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it was, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt a chill down his spine, "Professor... er, there should be a limit to the number of Horcruxes, people It's impossible...impossible...you can share as much as you want!"

"Very smart, that's the crux of the matter. Yes. Voldemort has killed many people, but not every time he kills, he creates Horcruxes," Dumbledore looked seriously at the two little snakes that had changed color at the moment. "But I also have to regret to say that the number of Horcruxes is far more than three."

"Three?" Draco felt his thoughts go blank at this moment. It took him a while to feel the pain in his chest, only to realize that he had unconsciously held his breath just now. He tried his best to calm down and forced himself to think , the first to recover from the shock.

"Tom Riddle's diary, Slytherin's locket, and, Hufflepuff's gold cup, which was destroyed by your father and godfather not long ago."

Hufflepuff's Gold Cup - Draco heard the name, and an epiphany flashed in his head, "Slytherin's Locket, Hufflepuff's Gold Cup - these are handed down from the Big Four at Hogwarts tokens, then maybe...the sword of Gryffindor and the diadem of Ravenclaw?"

"A very clever and bold guess." Dumbledore turned his head and turned to the sword of Gryffindor on the glass cabinet next to him. The real Gryffindor has awakened it. But the Ravenclaw diadem, I think he has it." Dumbledore nodded in confirmation to the two little snakes staring at him, and swung his wand in the air. Draw a rough outline of what the Ravenclaw diadem will look like. "Do you know Ms. Gray, the ghost of Ravenclaw House? Helena Ravenclaw, the daughter of Ms. Ravenclaw. I asked her already, and she told me that Voldemort once asked when he was in school. The whereabouts of her diadem—that was a sad story for Ms. Ravenclaw, she was reluctant to tell, but Ms. Ravenclaw was finally moved by Tom Riddle's words, and she told Voldemort about the diadem The last address that appeared, Tom had been to that place in his travels after graduation, and I went to look for it again not long ago to confirm, but it is no longer there, so I think-Voldemort has got it."

"The crown—the crown—" Harry muttered in a daze as he looked at the illusory shape of the crown in the air.

"Ravenclaw's diadem——the House of Wisdom, the Diadem of Wisdom—" Draco bit his fingernails, a habit he had quit before he was 13 in his previous life, but now he endured Can't stop, "That's right, isn't it? Wisdom is mentioned twice in the prophecy, maybe it means—"

Dumbledore nodded, "I think so too, but even if we can be sure that the prophecy refers to Ravenclaw's diadem Horcrux that will eventually resurrect Voldemort, it will not be easy for us to find it .”

"Tiara—Tiara—" Harry closed his eyes, still muttering non-stop.

Draco had no idea, he accidentally saw Harry in his distraught, saw that Harry was still nagging about the diadem, something seemed to flash through his mind, he felt—felt like this scene Was similar, very, very familiar...

Harry suddenly opened his eyes at this moment, with joy, resentment, eagerness and weirdness on his face, he grabbed Draco's sleeve, "Draco, I, I have seen it! —— Room of Requirement, have you forgotten, we moved That disappearing cabinet, you said it was dangerous, and I was not allowed to touch things... At that time, my amulet glowed white!"

Draco's face suddenly turned pale, and the memories of his previous life came back like a torrent, and it was the same that time, Harry Potter kept chanting about the diadem in the corridor, and he even found the Room of Requirement, when he was facing the attack , still thinking only of the diadem like a madman; in such a terrible devil's flame, he still tried hard to reach for the tattered diadem, the diadem that almost killed them both - it was Ravenclaw crown!

Draco wished he could slap himself hard, pulled Harry to his feet and ran towards the door quickly, "I'm really damned!"

As soon as you come out of the principal's office, on the same floor, turn a corner and you will be opposite the tapestry where the troll beats Barnaba with a stick.

I need to find a place to hide my stuff.

I need to find a place to hide my stuff.

I need to find a place to hide my stuff.

The door appeared, Draco pulled Harry and rushed in, Dumbledore and Professor Snape also went in, in the middle of the mountain of dilapidated garbage, Draco didn't take much time to find the disappearing cabinet—— It's too big and too tall, so eye-catching, "It's this neighborhood, it must be this neighborhood—"

Harry also began to look back and forth, row by row, and described to them the situation around the diadem in his memory, "There should be a very old, ugly, dirty wizard bust on top of it. On, I remember there was a bird cage next to it, and the animal skeleton in it had five legs-it seemed to have a bloody ax next to it, and two broken swords, and—”

Harry's rapid-fire speech suddenly stopped, bluffing the headmaster, the professor and Draco into surprise, they quickly approached here, and found the row of small alleys where Harry was standing, the three of them saw Harry lost his mind and paled almost at the same time To a face without a trace of blood.

Harry turned to Draco, eyes bewildered and horrified, "It's—it's gone, Draco."

Directly across from Harry was the old wizard bust, but the place where the Ravenclaw tiara should have been placed on the ugly headgear was empty.

The expressions of the two adult wizards became serious at this moment, maybe it should be called blank, Draco's heart sank, as if his stomach felt heavy, he walked over step by step, and then hugged Holding Harry, the cold forehead was stuck to the scar that seemed to have become hot. Draco held him and stood there for a long time. He needed calmness, he needed strength and courage, and he also needed strength and support.

At this moment, he must let himself calmly realize that he is Draco Malfoy, the most proud heir of the Malfoy family, the pure blood of ancient glory flows in his body, and he is the inheritance trusted by Salazar Man, he is a Hogwarts warrior—a warrior, the first challenge that needs to be faced—to face the fear of the unknown.

After a while of silence, Draco was able to keep his voice steady when he spoke, "Harry, it's okay—it's okay, we—that's a prophecy, isn't it, no matter what, it may be impossible to escape, what is set to happen will always happen. "Draco stroked Harry's hair, "We beat him once in the first grade, and the second grade also - in the future, we can still, we will definitely!"

"I'm just... I don't know what's wrong with me, I'm not scared, Draco, I'm just—" Harry took a deep breath on Draco's shoulder, calming the trembling voice, "You have worked so hard, we have worked so hard, never dared to let our guard down, Draco, I thought—"

"We'll still be together, and we'll work together. We've succeeded, even if it's just a few of us, but we've still succeeded—twice! This time, the whole Slytherin will stand behind us, and we'll still have Hogwarts, everyone who loves Hogwarts will help us, we are incomparably strong, we gather strength, unite as one, we are brave, firm, have strong faith in our hearts and eternal glory, black The devil trampled on Salazar's pride, he betrayed everyone, his soul was incomplete, he was crazy and lonely. We will fight to the end, and the final victory belongs to us, we will, we will!"

Rather than saying that Draco was comforting Harry, it was better to say that he was encouraging himself. After saying these words, at this moment, Draco's churning heart suddenly calmed down.Yes, the indelible sense of fear that the Dark Lord once left in his heart suddenly disappeared at this moment. After they bravely faced, tried and finally won the confrontation again and again, Draco found that the Dark Lord Now he has become a pure opponent and enemy in his heart, instead of the high and dangerous mountain that he thought he could not overcome and challenge in his heart for a long time-the Dark Lord is just a person, a person who has mastered the secret of eternal life. Ordinary people, Regulus was right, they will eventually tell the Dark Lord - you are just an ordinary person.

Dumbledore stepped forward, saw the calm and determined Draco, and saw the brave and fearless Harry, touching their heads.

"Draco, I think your steadfastness at this moment will always make your father and godfather proud of you. Harry, Sirius will be very happy because he has a godson with the brave spirit of Gryffindor."

Well, prophecy is always an unexplainable thing, although not all prophecies will come true in the end, but there are also things that go round and round and return to an unavoidable ending, just like now, as perfect as they once thought He managed to protect the Potters, but still accidentally made the prophecy come true; Principal Dumbledore couldn't bear to tell the two children about the evil "Horcrux" so early, and didn't want to destroy their rare life. In happy times, I can't bear to make everything worse, but the result is that I have to face the dangers of today...

Even before Dumbledore followed the two little snakes to the Room of Requirement, he couldn't help suspecting that their efforts would eventually be in vain, so he couldn't say he was disappointed now, he was probably just a little disappointed.

Still, there is hope for their future, and that hope is very strong.

"This is in line with the old saying, what should come will always come, all we have to do is face it with our heads held high." After returning to the principal's office, Dumbledore ordered some hot drinks and snacks, and gave the two Minors should calm down, no matter what, like the motto that Gryffindor has always advocated-whatever it is, let it go!

The principal and the dean worked together to finally remove this heavy psychological burden from the hearts of the two minors, because the resurrection of Voldemort may not happen overnight, but there is a glorious event in front of us-tomorrow is The final match of the Triwizard Tournament!Draco was so close to the final glory, he shouldn't have stumbled on the last step carelessly after walking 99 steps.

In addition, as the heir of an ancient pure-blood family and a staunch anti-Voldemort who has Salazar's inheritance, if Draco Malfoy finally wins the championship, this is the hope for Slytherin, who advocates strength, and for the future wizarding society There is inestimable comfort in the heart and confidence in victory. Besides, everyone here does not want to see the trophy being snatched away by others when it is within easy reach.

"Calm, firm, rest well." This was the pre-match motto taught by Professor Dumbledore to Draco before leaving, and then the two little snakes left.

Professor Snape still stayed in the principal's office, and Draco could probably guess that they were going to discuss the countermeasures in case the Dark Lord came back, such as whether the godfather, a double agent, was still necessary to go undercover. There are no flaws that can be seen through, as well as the position, influence and safety of the Malfoy family - let his father and godfather worry about this. Draco never doubted the impregnable wartime defense magic of Malfoy Manor, as long as Their prudence does not lead wolves into the house.
