[HP] Seven Nights Talk

Whoever is carrying a snake called Voldemort and trying to help him is limited in how far he can go.Harry had wanted to take Voldemort back to 12 Grimmauld Place - he felt he had enough experience in deception and that Kreacher would be able to do something for him on the sly.Sure, he remembered the fake locket, but at least Voldemort had to get well first.

But Nagini strongly opposed the proposal.Because she didn't want to leave Voldemort's side, and she didn't want to go to the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix.In addition, she pointed out sharply that Harry's status in the Order of the Phoenix is ​​not like Voldemort's status among the Death Eaters, which is echoed by everyone and no one questions it.Moreover, someone in the Order of the Phoenix already knew Voldemort's true identity, and they might try to start from Harry to grasp Voldemort's weakness.Rhetoric is still a trivial matter, if the defenseless real body is discovered, wouldn't there be no room for redemption?

"Your godfather doesn't want you dead." Nagini was still blunt. "He will choose you between victory and godson, but that doesn't mean the same for everyone else."

Harry had to admit she was right.Now in the Order of the Phoenix, only Sirius knows what kind of relationship he has with Voldemort; the most important point is that he is still Voldemort's Horcrux.

In the absence of other people knowing this, their fear and anger at what the name Voldemort stands for is entrenched.If they want to deal with Voldemort, they will definitely seize every possible opportunity and will not show mercy.Then, the possibility of Voldemort encountering danger increases.

And if he knew, it would be the same as what Nagini said, not everyone would think that his life was more important than defeating Voldemort completely, because even he himself didn't feel that way.He could go to his own death in order to destroy Voldemort, so he didn't blame others who would agree to this method-kill him first, then Voldemort.

It's too early to talk about that, though; at least he's not dying that much, and the situation isn't that bad.There are still two years left, and he should try to reconcile the two parties to avoid the third magical world war.It's just that it's not a good time to confess now...but it's coming soon...

Harry thought about it. "Okay, let's move. How's the place we met last time? Is it safe?"

That was the new hangout for the Death Eaters.Nagini thought about it carefully, then nodded. "There are house-elves there, too, and Death Eaters don't show up when they're not called."

"Fine, then it's decided," said Harry.He was pleased because Nagini never directly said Dumbledore's name from the beginning to the end.The current situation reminded him of what Snape once said to Dumbledore——

"I spied for you, told lies for you, risked death for you. All this supposedly to keep Lily Potter's son safe. And now you tell me you keep him like a pig A pig waiting to be slaughtered—”

Harry didn't want to comment on the pig metaphor.Whatever it is, wouldn't everyone else be better off if he got ahead and made his own decisions?Whether it's the mean potions professor, or the beloved headmaster?

He gradually made up his mind.Regardless of whether Voldemort succeeded in solving his Horcrux problem, he had an idea, or plan, of his own.If this plan is successful, he will be able to successfully hide it from everyone, and in the end, he and Death's request will be fulfilled at the same time.Everyone, including Ron, Hermione, Sirius, Dumbledore, and... Voldemort.

Death did say that in order to be successful in the end, they must both be alive and whole.It seems that they must complete the task of stripping the attached soul piece from a living person, which has never been tested before; but in fact, as long as such a moment exists for a moment, is it enough?

"Nagini, can you help me find a messenger?" Harry stood up, his fingers gripping the ring he had just recovered from the ruins through the fabric. "I told my owl not to come to me until I got back, and now I need to deliver another letter."

When he said this, the night had passed, and the dawn was beginning to appear in the sky.Harry had been busy all night and didn't close his eyes. At this time, he couldn't help feeling sleepy, but he still had to keep his spirits up.In fact, he was not the only one who couldn't sleep peacefully all night.

Even after receiving the letter from Hedwig, Sirius was still worried.He knew that Harry had his own mind, and it was impossible to make people worry about it on purpose, but he couldn't control his emotions.Even, to be honest, if he was worried about Voldemort killing Harry before, he was more worried about Harry himself now.Judging from the years of getting along with each other, if Harry had to do something, even if it cost his own life, he would not hesitate to do so.

Of course, Sirius didn't think that Harry was so dizzy when he saw Voldemort that he couldn't think, and couldn't tell right from wrong.In fact, compared to the speculation that Harry was addicted to love and couldn't extricate himself, he was more inclined to think that things were fundamentally the opposite.

Harry made the choice after knowing all the pros and cons.He knew the past, he knew the present, and he seemed to even seem to know the future.

It is precisely because of this that Sirius feels panic.He couldn't figure out what the Horcrux was, but just from the description, he knew that it was a kind of black magic with an unrivaled degree of evil.Voldemort attached a piece of his soul to Harry completely by accident, and the prerequisite was murder... The difficulty and danger of getting it back can be imagined.

And according to Harry's consistent performance, he is not a person who will drive others to a dead end.This had shown itself in the first year, and Harry hadn't cared about the Dursleys' mistreatment of him.In other words, as long as Voldemort appears to have repented - or, more simply, pursued his ambitions in a peaceful way, and can see what he did before the change - it is impossible for Harry to be sympathetic to him. He killed everything.

"Do you think Harry really came back from the future?" A voice suddenly sounded, not high-pitched, but clear.

Sirius turned to the source of the sound and saw that Dumbledore was standing by the hearth, casually poking the remaining ashes with the poker, sending sparks flying out.In the humid climate of Britain, even on a summer night, sitting all night requires a fire to drive away the coolness.And that was exactly what they had done the night before - sitting all night in the drawing room of 12 Grimmauld Place, with only the crackling of the firewood for company. "I don't know!" he said irritably, "but that's not the point, is it?"

"So what do you mean?" Dumbledore interjected, and hung the iron tongs on the edge of the fireplace. "The point is, what is that unspeakable future? Is that so?"

The eyes of the two met, and they both saw a trace of anxiety in each other's eyes.If this assumption is true, the events of the last few years are well explained - just add the same assumption to Voldemort.That future had prompted Harry not to care about the Dursleys (come to think of it, who cares after a war with so many dead and wounded), and it had prompted him to make a choice—a choice neither of them knew.And for unknown reasons, they couldn't ask Harry directly for confirmation, let alone Voldemort's cooperation.

But no matter how you guessed it, the future that Harry experienced could not be a peaceful world.It's clear that setbacks make people grow, and hardships make people strong, and these two aspects can't be more obvious in Harry.Regardless of his usual performance, as far as what he is doing and what he wants to do, it seems like some kind of mediation, or a buffer spring between the two forces.

How obvious, what Harry wanted!So, the choice is just around the corner, isn't it?

Dumbledore made his way around a few chairs to the window and gazed out at the sides of the surrounding Muggle buildings.He had to admit that even if Harry couldn't tell them all the truth, he'd kind of got his bearings.Of course, if possible, he also hopes that there will be no war.It's just that he has always been unable to persuade Voldemort, this matter has never been successful, and there is not even a sign of it.

But now it seemed that Harry had done it, at least he had a very good start.Dumbledore cared more about other things than how Harry did it. "It's not for him to do it." He murmured to himself in a low voice.

It was a dangerous thing to do, and Harry was so young.Although the letter Harry left to Sirius was ambiguous, he could guess what Harry had gone to do—to go with Voldemort to find the guy that the Order of the Phoenix had been looking for for two or three years.Judging from Voldemort's reaction, this guy had something to do with him, maybe very close.

It's just that this kind of condition makes it more difficult for Dumbledore to match up. He can't think of anyone who meets the conditions.Harry was such a big surprise, what other surprise could lead to a new, powerful Dark wizard?Or maybe he should just trust Tom for once, that he'd figure it out after telling him to stay out?

On the point of "who should do it", Sirius and Dumbledore have similar views.Even if Harry knew more, there was absolutely no reason for Harry to stand in front of them all.

But the fact is that there is no other choice.

He hated to admit that there was a problem with Harry, a problem that no one else could solve, a problem that only he could solve... No one else could get involved except him and Voldemort.That's probably why Harry didn't tell him before leaving Privet Drive, because Harry was the one meant to be.

The more Sirius thought about it, the heavier his heart became, and he couldn't help sighing in the end.However, he restrained his behavior, because Dumbledore was still there, and he didn't intend to tell others the secret of the Horcrux instead of Harry.

And at this moment, a long-eared owl flew straight in through the open window.The two people present were taken aback, because they had never seen this bird before, and according to the Fidelity Curse, people who were not allowed could not see the house.Sirius figured out who it would be in almost half a second, and bounced off his chair cushion: "Harry!"

It was indeed Harry.Sirius quickly went to untie the letter in his lap, so excited that he tore a small opening in the letter.He glanced over ten lines at a glance, and couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief. "He said it worked. That dark wizard will never operate in the shadows again. Then he won't be back for a few days...? Why? Injured?"

After hearing what he said, Dumbledore asked, "Successful? What method did you use?"

"Harry didn't write this one." Sirius read the letter and handed it to the other party - there was no mention of Horcrux anyway. "But I don't think it's probably Avada Kedavra... well, I don't think Harry knows that." Should it really be Voldemort's Horcrux?Only Voldemort can solve this problem by himself?

Dumbledore was noncommittal.Harry can't do it, but it doesn't mean Voldemort can't do it.Then he also read the letter and said, "It looks real." He was also relieved. "Hopefully it won't happen again..." He was halfway through when he noticed a sudden change in Sirius' face. "……What happened?"

Sirius opened his mouth, unable to speak at all.He was still in ecstasy just now, because judging from the tone of the letter, even if Harry was injured, it was a minor injury.Isn't it just that I can't see it for a few days?What is it compared to life safety?Then Dumbledore's words immediately awakened his memory: the ring was taken back, wouldn't that only leave the soul piece in Harry's head?According to the previous law, it will definitely be resurrected, what should we do?Watching Harry being controlled and helpless?

These two emotions fought in Sirius' head, excited for a while, worried for a while, and made him sweat all over within a minute.Looking at the letter just now, the ink marks were fresh, and it was obvious that it had just been written and mailed; the handwriting was as fluent as usual, and so was the tone.So the letter he received was indeed from Harry himself, right?This is really good news, showing that the worst is yet to come...

This is why Sirius found himself in anxiety again within ten seconds of being happy.It's fine now, what about later?The fuse of the indeterminate time bomb has been ignited. One day when it burns to the end, it will definitely be a catastrophe.Can Occlumency block that soul piece forever?have no idea.How can we avoid future troubles forever?He doesn't know either.So he could only keep silent about Dumbledore's question.

And Dumbledore thought farther than he did.Sirius probably didn't notice it himself. After reading the letter, he subconsciously avoided eye contact, obviously hiding something.Sure enough, there was an inside story, probably related to the true identity of the black wizard they were hunting... He thought about it, without asking again, but just sorted out the development of the matter in his mind.What else was Harry hiding from him?Not sure.But at least it is certain that there are more serious challenges ahead.So maybe he had to find a way to stop Harry from taking it upon himself again?
