[HP] How to properly feed the savior

Chapter 99 Order of the Phoenix 29

At the DA party on Saturday night, they finally practiced the last and most difficult spell, the Patronus Charm.

"In addition to defending against dementors, the physical Patronus can also be used to convey information and identify identities." After Harry explained how to cast the Patronus Charm, Riddle added some content. "Everyone's physical patron saint is different, and it is a fixed image. Unless there is a major emotional change, it will not change. Death eaters may dress up as someone you are familiar with to approach you, the most effective The best way to distinguish is to use the Patronus, because the Patronus is absolutely impossible to disguise. In addition, since the Patronus is an entity composed of emotion, will and memory, it means that it has a certain degree of sanity and can be used to perform some simple tasks. different from owls, the Patronus cannot be intercepted and will not leak information. The goal of the training this time is that everyone is trying to create a physical Patronus Come out, it's not necessarily suitable for use against dementors, but it can help a lot in other ways."

Everyone had a great time.Cho Chang conjured up a swan-shaped Patronus and was flying gracefully across the room.Hermione's silver otter is so alive and kicking, it's really cute. "At the next gathering, we should test the actual combat ability of the Patronus." Harry shook his head at the cute Patronuses in the room, "For example, get a Boggart or something and turn it into a dementor ..."

He shuddered, and the silvery smoke that finally rose from the tip of his wand dissipated quickly.

"Don't think too much." Riddle walked behind him, wrapped his arms around him, and took his hand holding his wand, "You and Neville have the same problem, you have too many things in your head, think about it." Just the happy things, the simpler the better."

He closed his eyes, felt the hot body temperature of the person behind him, and recalled what could be called happiness recently.He remembered the last time he went to Hogsmeade and talked with the other party about the future of the wizarding world in the tavern, expressing all the thoughts in his heart freely, it seemed to be a kind of pure joy, or not yet covered by the shadow of reality A hope that is as bright and dazzling as the sunrise.He felt that somewhere in his heart seemed to be ignited by that hope, as if something curled up stretched its body, fluttered its wings, and wanted to break through the shackles of the heart.The spell that lingered on the tip of his tongue flowed out naturally, and he raised his wand, and the brilliant silver stung his eyes.

"This is--"

Many people put down their wands and looked in his direction.

The silvery mist converged into a turbulent stream in the air, outlining the outline of a gigantic monster. It looked like a mountain when it was curled up, but when it raised its head and spread its wings, he recognized that it was a dragon, and not a dragon. The other dragon was the Swedish short-nosed dragon that he had fought against.

The joy in my heart stopped abruptly, and the patron saint dissipated.

"What's wrong?" Riddle asked with concern, "What did you think of?"

"Why it?" He was confused, more guilty, "I killed it, that dragon, why did it become my Patronus?"

What he wants to ask more is, what does he have that is worthy of the other party's protection?

"The shape of the patron saint is just a symbol, the shape in which your hope and happiness are entrusted. It does not correspond to a specific creature." Riddle thought for a while, and answered him in this way. "Like my cat and Harry's stag, I don't look to the stupid cat to guard me, but it's a representation of my connection to happy memories in my heart. Same with Harry's, his father He will not be present to protect him, but his vision and faith in his father is a great source of hope for him, so his Patronus will take the form of a stag."

"Then where is the relationship between the dragon and me?" He couldn't figure it out.

"You have to ask yourself that." Riddle laughed. "But I have a guess, your wand."

He picked up his wand and watched carefully.Now he used an elder wand, and the acacia wand had been borrowed by Riddle, and both wands, and every other wand that suited him in Ollivander's shop, had dragon heartstrings at their core.

"Do you know what the dragon reminds me of?" Seeing that he didn't answer, Riddle asked again. "It's a beautiful creature, graceful, powerful, and inviolable. Do you think dragons are evil?"

He shook his head, "Dragon is not evil, they just have no intelligence and follow their own biological instincts."

"Yes. But many people regard dragons as the embodiment of evil, why do you think?"

"Because they can hurt people." He lowered his head, already guessing what the other party was going to say.

"I think the most interesting thing about this world is that the right to speak is in the hands of the weak." Riddle said coldly. "The strong will always be the minority, and the weak will always be the majority. The weak who occupy the majority are eager to control power, but they can't do it, so they fear and hate the strong, and because they are weak, they can't hurt the strong, so they can only Use things like morality to belittle the strong, and advertise your own weakness as kindness. Dragons hunt sheep to feed themselves. In the eyes of sheep, dragons are evil. Even a vegetarian dragon wants to live in peace with sheep. Sheep Also hating a dragon because of its claws and teeth defines it as evil. In my opinion, you are such a vegetarian dragon that you have the ability to hunt sheep but you choose not to, we can call it benevolent But this does not mean that it is evil for you to hunt sheep according to your nature. The reason why you think it is evil and bind your nature with morality is because you believe in the view of sheep that being strong is evil , Weakness is kindness. Haven't you noticed the absurdity in this?"

"According to your point of view, as long as you have power, you can kill those who don't have power?" He hates this kind of view. In his opinion, murder is a crime, not whether you have the ability to murder.

"It's cruel, but it's reality." Riddle shrugged, "You have the right to decide the life and death of others. According to your preferences, usually you decide to let people live, but if you decide to let them die, it's also Nothing to blame."

"Where is morality placed in your world?"

"No matter how you define morality and beautify morality, I think functionally speaking, morality is a tool to keep weak human beings alive. Morality coordinates the relationship between people and makes people stronger as a whole, and this kind of The power of the whole can allow weak human beings to survive in the cruel nature. Imagine that in ancient times, primitive people gathered in caves to avoid the wind and snow. The cave can only accommodate four people. If one person occupies the position of four people, no Let the other three people come in, then after the other three people are frozen to death, it will be difficult for this person to survive alone. In order to survive, this person gave up other positions and let the other three people survive, this is the so-called morality."

"So you admit that morality is still necessary."

"For the weak, yes, it is necessary. But for the strong, they no longer need morality as a life-saving means. You have also noticed that morality can only be effective when everyone or most people follow it. Things that have a positive effect and base their own survival on the behavior of others cannot be called a strong person. A truly strong person does not depend on morality, nor is it bound by morality."

"However, the sum of many people is stronger than one person. According to your theory, people with morality gathered together are stronger than a single person without morality. Then the strong must have morality, not no morality."

"You're talking about Muggles. Only in the Muggle world are multiple people stronger than one. In the wizarding world, it's entirely possible that there is one person who is more powerful than all of them put together." , this man is the natural king who has dominion over all others, or we may call him a god."

"So in your opinion, it is inevitable for wizards to rule Muggles." He frowned, but he didn't expect that the other party still didn't give up on this theory.

"Of course." Riddle replied without shame, "It's just that the current wizards are too weak and have lost the dignity of wizards. Such weak wizards are not worthy of ruling Muggles. We must first make wizards strong, and then You can talk about rule. You can say that Muggles and wizards are equal. Of course, we are indeed equal in essence, but this equality is meaningless. Is it because of essential equality that an uneducated person Is it equivalent to a university professor having a say in whether to invest in aerospace technology? This is simply ridiculous! A person should be placed in a position according to his ability so that society can function most efficiently. The difference between wizards and Muggles The point is that wizards have the ability to become more powerful, while Muggles do not. Now the Muggle poison called democracy and equality is seeping into the wizarding world, making the new generation of wizards blind to their place. You also said that, Power is justice, only wizards have enough power to maintain power, and only wizards can bring true justice and eternal peace to the world."

He was silent.If from this perspective, wizards are just better Muggles, then wizards do have a reason to rule Muggles.

"Since the relationship between the strong and the weak is the ruler and the ruled," the other party continued, "then it should be the weak who accommodate the strong, not the strong who accommodate the weak. You are such a strong person, you should release your brilliance to the fullest , to illuminate this land, instead of worrying that your too dazzling self will make people who cannot bear your light unable to see things."

"What you are talking about is a world where the weak prey on the strong. This is the logic of wild beasts." He said slowly, and the flaws in the other party's words were becoming more and more obvious to him. "We are human beings, not beasts. What makes humans higher than beasts is morality. I don't have to compromise with the weak, but I give such kindness to the weak. This is what makes people different from beasts."

"If you define morality in this way, then I can only say that morality is not a quality that is conducive to survival."

"Some things are more important than survival."

Riddle laughed contemptuously, "Nothing is more important than survival. You can lie to yourself like this, but when you make a choice, your actions will show your true heart."

He trembled involuntarily, what the other party said was right, if he defined that a person can put certain things above survival, then perhaps, he is not worthy of being called a person.

"I have always believed that what makes me better than others is that I am honest." The other party stroked his trembling shoulders, "When others decorate themselves with morality and kindness, I will not turn a blind eye to the coldness and cruelty of my nature. Humans are creatures who are good at deceiving themselves. We deceive ourselves and tell ourselves that we are greater than other creatures. That is a lie. In essence, we are no different from other creatures. We all seek to expand our existence. The most basic is I am alive, secondly I can assert myself, and then I can make my mark on the world. You see, the human body is nothing more than this. Morality is just an excuse to justify one's actions, but morality itself does not become The end, it's just the means."

He knew that he was completely defeated, and he couldn't refute Riddle's logic.
