[HP] How to properly feed the savior

Chapter 138 The Half-Blood Prince 29

Under the starry night sky, Riddle stood in front of Dumbledore, with his wand raised flat, the tip of the wand slightly downward, aiming at the seemingly helpless old man.Harry's body was stiff, as if trying to break free from the shackles of the spell, but only a few beads of sweat suffocated on the top of his head.Dumbledore leaned against the fence with a calm expression, as if he had accepted his fate calmly.

"Hmph." Riddle suddenly sneered, "Why should I kill you?"

Dumbledore opened his eyes in surprise, and looked at Riddle who was laughing in puzzlement.

"What is your value that makes me have to kill you? You think too highly of yourself, don't you?" Riddle's tone was cold and contemptuous, "I said, you are nothing to me."

Dumbledore stared fixedly at Riddle, unable to say anything.

"I don't need the power of the Deathly Hallows either." Riddle threw the Invisibility Cloak at Harry's feet, walked up to Dumbledore, bowed down, and handed the Elder Wand back to the headmaster, "This is just a foreign object. I am powerful , because I am who I am, not because I own the Hallows."

"Tom, you..." The headmaster stretched out his hand tremblingly, but he couldn't hold the handle of the Elder Wand no matter what. "You've grown up."

Riddle half-knelt in front of Dumbledore, held the old man's trembling hand with his left hand, and put it on the Elder Wand.

"I am honored to have taught you. Whether you deny me as a professor or not, I am proud of you as a student." The headmaster gently pushed Riddle's left hand away with his withered black hand. "The wand is yours. You have overcome me and won its loyalty from me."

Riddle looked at the crystal tears falling from the corners of Dumbledore's eyes, suddenly lowered his head, took off the resurrection stone on his left hand, and put the ancestral ring of the Gaunt family on the headmaster's hand. "I'll trade you another sacred artifact. You need it more than me."

Dumbledore seemed to have aged dozens of years all of a sudden, tremblingly stroking the pitch-black gemstone on the ring. "Why? You said that the Resurrection Stone is the most important of the three Deathly Hallows."

"Because," Riddle raised a bright smile, "the person I love is still alive, but the person you love is gone. Only in this way can we reunite with the person we love."

The principal didn't say anything, just holding the gemstone, looking at a certain place in the void, as if someone was standing there, smiling at him.

Riddle straightened up, and with a wave of his wand, Harry was released from the restraints.

"Professor Dumbledore!" Harry immediately rushed to the principal's side, "Are you all right?"

"I'm fine." Dumbledore smiled, "It's been many years, and I haven't felt as good as today. It's just a little...uh," the headmaster barely lifted himself up, and fell back to the ground, "I'm not very flexible. "

"I'll help you." Riddle took the principal's arm and helped him stand up. "Should I call Snape?"

"No need, the liquid in that stone basin is not fatal, it will be fine when the effect of the medicine wears off." The principal left the roof of the tower with the support of the two.The barrier has been released by Riddle, and a group of people with anxious faces are waiting below.

"What happened?" Professor McGonagall hurriedly directed the others to make way, "Do you need to go to the infirmary?"

"No, no need." Dumbledore said weakly, "Minerva, let the deans come to my office, I have something important to tell you. Everyone else should leave. Those captured Death Eaters Assassins, you leave it to the Ministry of Magic, Stringer will be delighted."

"Okay." Professor McGonagall left in a hurry.

Riddle and Harry helped Dumbledore back to the headmaster's office. After all the professors arrived, the headmaster, who had been silent for a long time, reluctantly said, "Minerva, after I die, you will be the acting headmaster of Hogwarts." .”

"What nonsense are you talking about? It's so good, how could you die?" Professor McGonagall had tears in his eyes. "Should I ask Severus to show you? Or some kind of black magic..."

Dumbledore raised his withered black hand and didn't let Professor McGonagall continue. "My lifespan is up. I have lived long enough. People will die one day. You should also be mentally prepared. Hogwarts will be handed over to you in the future."

"How could this be possible?" Professor McGonagall looked like he was about to cry, "The school cannot do without you..."

"Minerva, you need to be the acting principal for one year. The next school year is the most difficult time, and you have to hold on. After this year, Tom will graduate, and he can inherit the position of principal." Dumbledore Lido patted the back of Riddle's hand.

"Him?" Professor McGonagall looked at Riddle in disbelief, and other professors also responded suspiciously. "But, he is..."

"I know who he is." The headmaster said patiently, "I believe he is qualified for this position. The darkest age in the magic world is coming, and we need a strong enough character to support Hogwarts. Sky. You have to trust Tom just like you trust me. Tom, can you promise me that no matter what happens, the students in Hogwarts will not be harmed and the school's teaching order can operate normally?"

"I promise you. Hogwarts is the only place in my life that I can call home, and it is also the place I cherish the most. I will do my best to protect Hogwarts from any force. As long as I am in power One day, neither the Ministry of Magic, nor the Death Eaters, nor other forces will be able to intervene in the operation of Hogwarts. Hogwarts will always be the last pure land of the wizarding world just like it has been for the past 1000 years." Riddle Holding the headmaster's hand tightly, "I swear in the name of the heir of Slytherin that I will uphold the ideal of the Big Four and not let it die in my hands."

"I believe you." Dumbledore nodded towards Riddle, and then turned to the others, "You have all witnessed his oath, after I leave, you will help Tom to maintain order in the school together. I will stay with the board A letter explaining the situation to them."

"We trust your decision." Professor McGonagall glanced at the others and said.

"Okay, go back to patrol first, I won't delay your work. Minerva, let Kingsley and the others come to the principal's office."

After a while, Kingsley, Tonks, Hagrid and Lupine entered.

"Listen to me." Dumbledore stopped their possible overreaction, "I may not live long. After I die, the leader of the Order of the Phoenix will be Tom."

Everyone was stunned, including Riddle himself.

"But he is Voldemort!" Harry cried. "How can you let Voldemort lead the organization against Voldemort?"

"What? He's V—" Hagrid shuddered, unable to pronounce the name, "So it was the mysterious man who got me expelled from school?"

"Last year he was still at the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix!" Kingsley also rarely lost his former composure.

"You believe that Snape can turn his back on evil, and we can trust you. But you let Voldemort himself lead the Order of the Phoenix, and I cannot obey." Lupine said resolutely.

"I know this is difficult for you to accept." Dumbledore said calmly, "Tom is Voldemort's past, but not Voldemort himself. Only when Tom leads the Order of the Phoenix can the possible losses be minimized—"

"We're not afraid of bloodshed, but we can't join forces with the Death Eaters!" Lupine said fiercely.

The principal closed his eyes and regained his patience, "It took me a long time to confirm that Tom and Voldemort are two completely different people, you have to trust my judgment. His wisdom and strength are no less than mine, his The sense of mission and responsibility is even higher than mine. Under his leadership, the Order of the Phoenix can better protect the wizarding world. Voldemort may not be the only threat in the future, or in other words, Voldemort is far from being the biggest threat to the wizarding world You have to trust Tom, in the darkest of times, to trust him to guide you to a better future."

Several people were silent for a while before nodding reluctantly.

"Tom, you have to promise me to protect Harry. Harry is our last hope."

"I will." Riddle put his arms around Harry, who was still struggling, "I will cherish him as I cherish my own life."

"It doesn't sound like a very reliable guarantee." Lupine glanced at Dumbledore, and said again, "But from Voldemort's mouth, it seems quite powerful."

"Now that you have accepted Tom, go away first. Harry, you too. I still have something to explain to Tom."

Everyone else left, and Harry reluctantly followed.Only Riddle and Dumbledore were left in the headmaster's office.

"You still remember that four years ago, we also talked alone in this office." Dumbledore's tone was very leisurely, as if it was just the old man chatting with the younger generation. "I still remember you at that time, so vulnerable and helpless, even when I first saw you, that vigilant look, never made me realize as deeply as I did then, you are just a need Helping children."

"Why are you saying this?" Riddle looked a little unhappy.

"Sometimes I feel that I am too self-willed. I think I understand some truths, but in fact I don't really understand." Dumbledore looked at Riddle with a smile, "The soul is free. When you appear in front of me I should have realized, Tom, you have another possibility. Not only you, but all your horcruxes. And I arbitrarily believe that your other horcruxes will only become Voldemort's weapons and become his evildoers. I was wrong, it was my mistakes that brought me to where I am today, but fortunately I have not been irreparably wrong, I still have you."

Riddle was silent.

"Don't let Harry look for Horcruxes, let him study hard and grow up happily like a normal child. I put too much burden on him in the past and didn't give him a happy enough childhood. However Tom, you're old enough to take on this responsibility and be a better savior than I ever hoped to be."

"Hmph, it's as if I like the stupid title of the savior." Riddle turned his head, "Harry, that brat, I just need to take care of him."

"A lot of what you said is true, I just didn't have the courage to admit it. I was too immersed in my past mistakes and rejected those who loved me instead. I lost the power of love, don't make the same mistakes as me , Tom, stay with the people you love, don't leave them."

"I know."

"Okay, let's go on, I should be endless again. People talk too much when they are old." Dumbledore said with a smile, "Go back, go back to your friends. I don't have much time left , I want to spend more time with my sister."

"Take care." Riddle left the office.

The next day, Dumbledore was found dead in the headmaster's office.When Professor McGonagall used the authority of the acting principal to enter the office, the former principal looked as if he had fallen asleep in a chair, with a happy smile on his face.A funeral was held for Dumbledore, and many wizards came after hearing the news. Some of the students were picked up by their parents, but more stayed.Dumbledore's body was buried in Hogwarts, wrapped in purple velvet studded with stars, with his hands folded on his chest, and the black resurrection stone ring looked solemn and solemn.

In the most beautiful and pleasant days of summer, the phoenix sang its dirge.
