Savior? No!I just want to stay home

After watching Lucius leave, Harry took out the snack box that Dora had prepared from the ring, greeted the passing students with a smile, and walked towards the principal's office.

There was a small round table and two armchairs in Dumbledore's office. There was also a pot of black tea and a few snack plates on it, creating a very chatty atmosphere.He smiled and watched Harry take a seat on the opposite chair, and poured a cup of black tea for him with his own hands.

"Would you like some milk and sugar cubes?" he asked as he poured the tea.

"Milk is fine, I'll do it myself, thank you!" Harry picked up the milk jug and poured a little into the cup, stirred it a few times, then took a sip.

"Nice black tea, thank you for your hospitality!"

"Oh, don't be so polite to me, Harry! I'm glad I have someone to sit with me over tea and chat. Students are always too prim, you know, and professors always have things to do."

The corners of Harry's eyes twitched as he watched Dumbledore put 5 cubes of sugar into his small teacup, with a helpless expression on his face.

"You are the principal, it's natural that the students won't let go. As for the professors...if you can control the intensity of recommending sweets—especially high-concentration sweets, I think they will be happy to chat with you, if you are like the legend If you are as knowledgeable as you are, chatting with you should be a pleasure."

"Hehehe~" Dumbledore laughed happily, "Oh, you can't deprive an old man of one of the few pleasures, my child." He blinked mischievously, "Whenever ...their expressions are very interesting~”

Well, they have a cute principal with a childlike innocence...

Harry felt the corners of his eyes and forehead twitching, and he couldn't help but reach out and press them to prevent his face from being paralyzed by excessive movement.

"So, if they directly reject your offer..."

"Then I will control the strength of the recommendation as you suggested just now - after all, the fun is gone, and I'm not really an old lunatic." Dumbledore smiled "hehe", looking in a good mood. "But the fact is as you said, I am the principal, so none of them can be as frank as you, so my fun will continue as always. Of course, I appreciate your frankness, so you have seen the fruits of my appreciation "He pointed to the "very normal" snacks on the table one by one with his long and thin fingers, and he froze a little when he pointed to a plate of cream balls, and explained: "Oh~ this plate is for myself of."

Harry tapped on the table, and all the plates of pastry, except for the cream balls, floated up and flew onto the desk next to him.Then, he enlarged the snack box he was holding in his hand, and opened the lid to reveal the contents inside.

"I have more than just 'honesty'~" He showed a bright smile, "Slytherin rules say: plan before acting. So in order to prevent some unpleasant scenes from appearing—for example, cockroach balls? I let me The house-elf has prepared these, I hope you like them."

As a senior foodie, Dumbledore really expressed his great affection for the tea prepared by Harry.Because it had been a while since lunch, Harry also picked up a piece of snack and ate slowly - of course, that snack could never be a cream ball, the poor cream ball has been forgotten by the two of them now.

After a cordial and friendly (?) exchange of various delicacies, the conversation came to an end.The two were sipping black tea, and the room seemed very quiet for a while.

Having been the principal for many years, Dumbledore had a deep understanding of how calm the little snakes are, so after thinking about it, he decided to speak first to break the silence.

"Tom he..."

He originally wanted to ask if there was any progress in Voldemort's soul restoration, but he felt a little inappropriate when he said it.After all, Harry is different from ordinary students. His mind is very mature, even far beyond that of an adult.Moreover, now that Harry was clearly on the side of Voldemort, it seemed a little inappropriate for him to inquire about the most confidential matter.Just when he was about to change the subject and pay attention to Harry's daily life, Harry suddenly took over the conversation, and Balabala said a lot.

"Although the wizard's name is magical, since people have made it clear that they don't like it, don't you just keep holding on to it? Just know it in your heart, why do you always chant it to make people hate it? Do you know how much Voldemort hates this, probably more than you point and yell at him. Or are you really just impatient for the Order of the Phoenix to have a fight with the Death Eaters?"

Harry raised his chin and thought about it for a few minutes, before making a very sincere evaluation:

"Under the current situation, you can't win. Absolutely! I think it's wiser for you to wait patiently for Voldemort to become a madman before taking action."

"I thought you were trying to stop 'becoming a madman' from happening?"

Dumbledore raised his head, his wise blue eyes were fixed on Harry, his expression very serious.

"Relax, Professor Dumbledore," Harry reassured. "Oh, okay~" Seeing Dumbledore's unmoving expression, he said helplessly, "Of course, I have already expressed my attitude here last time, didn't I?"

"I can't relax, Harry. You and I both know it's a big deal."

"Is it important?" Harry tilted his head. "Is that what I mean? After all... if you're still the same as before, then, no matter how important it is, it's only the Death Eaters' business."

He figured it out?Just rely on yourself to scold?Harry was a little confused.

"..."

Dumbledore was silent for a few seconds, then sighed.

"I have never denied the mistakes I have made, Harry. You were too emotional last time, so it is not suitable for an in-depth discussion on this matter. Of course, one of the reasons is that I didn't think clearly. I don't mean to accuse you ——It’s about family members, so it’s understandable to be a little excited.”

He blinked at Harry, the clarity in his eyes made Harry a little embarrassed-Harry understood that he found that he was deliberately sarcastic last time, and also deliberately lost his temper, trying to provoke Charles and Doria , in order to achieve the goal of the Potter family getting out of the quagmire of war.

"I am really sorry!"

Harry stood up and bowed to Dumbledore, sincerely expressing his apology for his rude behavior last time—the old headmaster's eyes showed no other blame, resentment, or calculation except kindness and understanding, nothing at all!This made Harry feel very embarrassed - he even insinuated that Ariana's death was caused by Dumbledore. Although this is also a fact, it is really dishonest to expose people's scars for their own purposes. .

"You don't need to apologize, child, you didn't do anything wrong." Dumbledore waved his hand, "Family... is the most important existence to everyone." His eyes were far away, full of nostalgia. "I've lived so long that I've forgotten something important, very, very important." He sighed again. "But fortunately, my reason is still there, and I met you. Your words woke me up, so I spent a whole year thinking about what I did in the past. I have to admit , this is a very unpleasant process, but it is indeed rewarding."

"Examine myself three times a day." Harry nodded in agreement with what Dumbledore had just said. "Probably means thinking about what mistakes you have made many times a day, what is wrong with what you did. This is what a very great scholar in ancient China said, and his teacher was even called a 'sage'. When others When I asked him why he improved so fast, he said that - I think he has a very good point."

"It is indeed a wise saying." Dumbledore echoed. "I always flaunt the greatness of 'love', but I don't know that I have forgotten how to 'love'. My self-righteous mistakes have led to terrible consequences that are almost irreparable. People can't always live in remembrance and repentance, so I am willing to do something to make up for those mistakes, but all of this must be based on one premise - the wizarding world must have a bright future!" His tone was very firm, and his attitude was unquestionable.

"Actually, I think your confession is a little too much."

Harry smiled, and at this moment, he was really willing to admit that the old man with white beard and hair in front of him was the greatest white wizard in the world who still worshiped the savior even though he was plotted to death.After all, not everyone can listen to other people's words—especially if they are not so pleasant—and reflect on them in a timely manner.Thinking of this, he sincerely suggested:

"Sometimes, if you relax yourself properly, you may receive some other surprises. Of course, this involves your secrets, so I won't let me talk about it."

After lowering his eyes and thinking for a while, Harry continued what Dumbledore had just said.

"Actually, you don't need to worry too much about whether you are crazy or not. Although Voldemort may go crazy, I guarantee that my sanity will always be normal. With normal sanity, I will certainly not compare the wizard world to The future is in the hands of a lunatic - once it is confirmed that his recovery is fruitless, I will kill him with my own hands. You know, I already know about Horcruxes, so now I can tell you more frankly, I even know that he made How many Horcruxes, and what are the carriers of the Horcruxes."

Harry raised his eyelids, met Dumbledore's shocked eyes, and smiled.

"Of course, Voldemort didn't tell me these things, otherwise we can now judge that he has gone mad. I have my news channel. If..." He paused, "You don't believe that I am strong enough to kill him , then, we can join forces at that time. As for the Death Eaters... I can push Abu or Lucius to the stage. After all, even if he is going to go crazy, it will be at least a few years or ten years later. I believe, With my efforts, by then, everything is a foregone conclusion."

"Is everything a foregone conclusion?" Dumbledore stared at Harry sharply. "You mean, if the Order of the Phoenix wants to survive, it can only choose to cooperate with the Death Eaters?"

"You can think I'm threatening you." Harry curled his lips. "Of course, you can disagree and let the Order of the Phoenix go to extinction under the nibble of Death Eaters, or you can choose to seek help from a third party."

Dumbledore's eyes narrowed sharply.

After a while, he suddenly laughed "hehe".

"Yes, since you know Ariana, of course you will know..."

He didn't continue to talk, but reached out and picked up a small cream puff, squinted his eyes and put it in his mouth, with an expression of enjoyment on his face.

"The taste is really good. Perhaps, I can learn from Horace, or exercise the privilege of the headmaster and ask you to provide me with some small conveniences from time to time?"

What kind of divine turning point is this? !

Harry was taken aback by Dumbledore's reaction.He thought that Dumbledore would at least show a little anger or become more defensive after he hinted at Grindelwald, why did he relax all of a sudden now?And... it seems that he is getting closer to himself?

Dumbledore is not Slughorn, who accepts all favors from anyone.And now, he actually asked himself for food?

Harry was not so narcissistic that he thought that the food made by his elves was really invincible, although the taste was indeed very good.

After eating three cream puffs in succession, Dumbledore smacked his lips in satisfaction and looked at Harry with a smile.

"I'm a Gryffindor, Harry." He blinked his blue eyes happily, "Although, uh, I'm indeed a little more calculating than most Gryffindors, but you have to be considerate It's not easy being the head of a school and the leader of the Order of the Phoenix. But after all, the Sorting Hat didn't throw me into Slytherin, did it? Of course, I'm not saying that I don't value privacy-but I don't care as much as Slytherin. Since those pasts already exist, we must be prepared to be known by others. And..." He gave Harry a deep look. "You have such intellect and ability, why do I have to worry about the future that you promised? I am old, and I hope to be able to unload the burden on me as soon as possible, and return to Godric's Hollow to live a happy life with peace of mind .”

Finally, Dunley looked at the time and made a concluding speech.

"It's almost time for dinner. In order to prevent Mr. Malfoy from rushing to the headmaster's office to ask me for someone, I think we should end today's conversation as soon as possible. I thought we had reached a preliminary consensus?" Harry agreed. nodded. "Very good! Then, I think, we need... a magic contract? Although the contract is a bit troublesome, but as for the unbreakable oath, I don't think it's suitable for a third person to know about it."

"Actually... I can ask Voldemort to be a witness." Harry suggested without any pressure.

"..."

Once again, Dumbledore was struck by someone's strong nerves and was speechless for a moment.He rubbed his forehead helplessly, compromising.

"You can tell him what we talked about, but, Witness... I really think he might not be the right person..."

"Then Abu?" So Harry saw the other party's more helpless eyes—is there any difference between looking for the Malfoy patriarch and looking for Voldemort?

"Well, if you insist." Harry shrugged.He just wanted to save some trouble~ "Then I will trouble you to draft the content of the contract, and then owl me. After confirming the content, we will make an appointment to sign it, okay?"

"Of course, Harry."

Dumbledore stood up with a smile and held out his right hand to Harry.

Harry stood up, shook his hand, and left.

After returning to the common room of the Snake Yard, he and Lucius ate a steaming meal of dumplings in the dormitory. The two came to the Slytherin head's office hand in hand.After knocking on the door and entering, they saw that Voldemort was wholesale handing in Defense Against the Dark Arts homework, so the two found a book together on the bookshelf, sat quietly and waited.

After more than half an hour, the two finished one of the chapters. Harry looked up and saw that there were only three assignments left on the table to be corrected. He motioned to Lucius, closed the book, and put it back. on the bookshelf.Walking back from the bookshelf and past the desk, he saw Voldemort frowning slightly, flicking the quill...

[Looks like a "P". ] Harry wondered to himself.He snatched up the homework, glanced at the place marked with grades, and confirmed his guess.

"I said..." After Voldemort finished grading the last homework, Harry shook the parchment in his hand—the sentence didn't make sense, and there were several spelling mistakes, so he really deserved a P. "Has no one ever thought about running a primary school in the wizarding world? At least, it can prevent someone from writing squatdown as squawkdown at the age of 13~"

"Wizard Elementary School?" Voldemort looked at the homework he was grading just now, and his eyes twitched. If the person who completed this homework was a Death Eater, he would definitely throw a "Crucio" in the past! "Other than that, what else does it do? The habit of wizards for thousands of years is to learn at home before the age of 11, which is difficult to correct."

"Habits are made to be broken~" Harry scoffed at Voldemort's words. "Not to mention that the quality of each parent is uneven, and the number of children in each family is also different. Even if each parent is a learned man, some people are not good at teaching, or even if they are good at it, they don't have the time .The kids don't leave the house until they are 11. This situation results in at least one person in the family being bound to death. The number of wizards is low, and nearly half of the adults' time and energy are wasted on educating young children. , What a waste! If there is a primary school - not full boarding like Hogwarts, like Muggle schools, 9 am to 5 pm on weekdays, parents are responsible for picking up and dropping off, it will be very good Solving the problem of children's education can also liberate part of the labor force to a considerable extent, if someone can make reasonable use of this part of the labor force..." He shrugged, everyone is smart, so there is no need for him to go on up.

"Then, how can we ensure that this part of the labor force can be used by us? You must know that most of the people who can use this part are civilians, and it is easier to get close to the Order of the Phoenix."

"It's simple, just link it with the children: families with children in elementary school can get priority job opportunities at such and such, or the tuition fees of children working in such and such places can be appropriately reduced." Harry thought for a while, answered.

"If you really want to do it, you have to think about the method and method in advance, and make the best use of this matter to improve the image of the Death Eaters and nobles in the eyes of the public. It's a matter of people's support, and public opinion is very important."

Voldemort took out a piece of parchment and wrote down this opinion.

"Ah, that's right. You can also set up a scholarship or something. Both elementary schools and Hogwarts can be set up. Poverty stipends alone are not enough for some families with average conditions, and this can also urge students to actively improve themselves. .”

Harry thought of the poor 1 Galleon in the vault of the Weasley family. If there was a scholarship, no matter whether it was Charlie, Bill, Percy, or the later twins, they should be able to get it easily, reducing some of the burden on the family.

"You have to go to the Muggle University to find out the specific reward standards, implementation rules, etc. Naming rights or something, and then the funding provider will give out the awards. What do you think about really starting from the baby, gaining a good name for the Death Eaters and the intention to join after graduation?"

"Good idea, I'll take note." Voldemort nodded in agreement, and ended the topic.

"So, what's the purpose of your coming here?"

"Uh..." Harry choked, and suddenly he didn't know how to speak, based on the fact that he had just discussed how to kill the old man in front of him this afternoon...

Voldemort turned his gaze to Lucius.

"I'm just a companion." Spread your hands.He probably knew it was related to the conversation with Dumbledore in the afternoon, but he thought he could hear it when he came to the godfather anyway, so they didn't discuss it during dinner.

"To put it simply, I agree to sign a magical contract with Dumbledore, based on the future cooperation between the Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters."

Voldemort raised his eyebrows, motioning for Harry to continue.

"Dumbledore hopes to get a guarantee that the Order of the Phoenix will not be wiped out by violence. It is none of our business to disband if we cannot sustain it. Then, on the premise that the wizarding world will have a bright future, the Order of the Phoenix cooperates with the Death Eaters Actions."

"Bright future...?" Voldemort whispered.His dark red eyes narrowed dangerously, staring closely at Harry who was sitting across from him. "What if this future is not 'bright' enough?"

"I will eliminate that 'obstacle' that makes the future not bright enough." Harry said blankly, "If necessary, join forces with Dumbledore."

There was a sudden silence in the room.

Voldemort lowered his eyes and wondered what he was thinking, Harry rested his chin and waited for Voldemort's statement, while Lucius looked nervously at his godfather and then at his lover.

After a while, Voldemort let out a breath from his nasal cavity.He leaned his body against the back of the chair and asked slowly:

"How can you be sure that I will definitely agree to cooperate with the Order of the Phoenix?"

"Don't ask idiot questions." Harry rolled his eyes. "As the saying goes, know yourself and your enemy. If you are not crazy, you will definitely agree. If you don't agree...then I can start to fulfill the contract that is about to be signed."

"If it's just 'not being wiped out by violence', I can accept it." Leaving one person is also considered "not being wiped out~ As for "violence", that's a better solution. Voldemort ignored the provocation in Harry's words as always, and got used to it Then it will become natural.

"Don't be so stingy~" Harry raised his eyebrows, "There are still ruling parties and opposition parties in the Muggle world, no matter how strong and capable you are, there are places that you can't take care of, what's wrong with having a group of people to help and supervise? Learn to extract the essence and discard the dross~ You just need to ensure that they will always be the 'opposition party'? Of course, if they are not strong enough to be overthrown and step down, they will deserve bad luck."

"Since there is this hidden danger, why can't I nip it in the bud?"

"It's okay if you want to~" Harry shrugged. "It's just the Order of the Phoenix. I haven't paid attention to it yet. I don't need you to take action. I can solve it alone, including Dumbledore. Anyway, I haven't signed the magic contract. But you have to make sure that after the Order of the Phoenix is ​​gone There will be no crow society or pheasant society. Awakening the public's sense of crisis is not something a wise leader would do."

crow... pheasant...

Voldemort was deeply embarrassed by Harry's ability to name names that had nothing to do with flamboyance.

"After the contract is drafted, show it to Abu and me. Don't be sold and help count the money. If there is no problem, sign it!"

After finishing speaking, he started waving his hands to chase people away. A brat with a high IQ, strong strength, and explosive damage value, I really can't afford to hurt him!

Small theater five

After the chat, Harry was about to leave.

Dumbledore: "Harry, the 'Story Dumbledore and a Generation of Devils Have to Tell' that has been secretly circulated recently is your work, right?"

Harry looked up.He just mentioned that...

"Sure enough..." Dumbledore smiled indifferently. "Good means! With your help, the future of the Death Eaters is indeed limitless. Voldemort is so lucky...Harry?"

"what?"

"Do you want to consider becoming the Minister of Magic after graduation?" It would be a pity to let such a talent go unused. If it was Harry, neither the Order of the Phoenix nor the Death Eaters would have any objections.

"..." Harry put a serious expression on his face, and said word by word with a very solemn look in his eyes:

"I'm sorry, Professor Dumbledore. My ambition is to be the young lady of the Malfoy family!"

"..." The corners of his mouth twitched.Is there a contradiction between the two?

"...I can't dismantle my father-in-law before I get married." Harry explained in a serious tone.

Dumbledore hesitated.

Perhaps, he should give up the fight with the Death Eaters for a while, and then think about how to pull Abraxas Malfoy from the position of Minister before Harry graduated?
