a certain scientific harry potter

"This... really disappeared?!"

Karkaroff looked at his arm in astonishment, the Dark Mark could be removed, something he had never even imagined before!

Chapter 710 Accepting a Headmaster Easily

"Actually... it was really removed?!"

Karkaroff stared in disbelief. He searched over and over on his arm, rubbed and rubbed his fingers on the original marks, and even tapped several times with his wand.

The mark of the skeleton snake is gone, and the burning feeling is gone!

Except for a little residual trace, his arm looked as if it had never been planted with the Dark Mark!

The repressed fear that has been with me for more than ten years has really completely disappeared!

"what!!"

With a sudden scream, Karkaroff bounced off the couch, so startled that Harry couldn't raise his wand to give him a shot.

However, Snape on the side seemed calm and composed, obviously not surprised by this.

"Thank you! Thank you so much!" Karkaroff shouted excitedly, and even kept bowing to Harry, "This Dark Mark, it's like a nightmare... Now it's finally cleared ,Very good!!"

So this is what he was excited about?

It was only then that Harry suddenly realized, but he didn't expect that Karkaroff would be so grateful for this matter.

However, the style of the outfit still needs to be installed.

"You don't need to be so surprised, the Dark Mark is nothing more than a kind of magic of Voldemort. He can plant a mark for you, and I can naturally remove it. Otherwise, how can I talk about confronting him head-on?!"

Harry waved his hand nonchalantly, with a hint of arrogance in his tone.

Of course, he was exaggerating. The reason why he was able to get rid of the Dark Mark was because he was similar in nature to Voldemort's magic power, and he also understood the principle of the Dark Mark, so he could get rid of it.

This does not mean that Harry has crushed Voldemort in all directions now.

It's just... what Karkaroff thinks, that's beyond Harry's control~

"That's right, it's absolutely true! I've known for a long time, Mr. Granger, you are already the greatest wizard in the world! In the future...not, I mean now, you will definitely be able to completely defeat the mysterious man!"

Karkaroff nodded and bowed his compliments, and all kinds of goosebump-inducing compliments rushed out as if he didn't want money, which made Harry feel a little bit smug~

On the other hand, Snape simply turned his head away, out of sight.

"Mr. Karkaroff, you don't have to care so much, it's just a matter of little effort." Harry waved his hand to stop the other party's flattery, and handed him a silver wristband, "Please accept this, this That's my real thank you."

"This is... Thank you! Thank you Mr. Granger for the gift!" Karkaroff was stunned for a moment, then immediately took it happily, and clasped it carefully on his wrist.

The reason why he was so excited was because he had seen Snape wearing the same bracer before, so he was sure it was a good thing!

pat~

With a soft sound, the silver wristband was perfectly buckled on Karkaroff's wrist, but he immediately felt a tingling pain.

However, he just frowned slightly, and the previous stinging pain immediately turned into a coolness, followed by a comfortable feeling full of magic power.

"This is a magic item that can protect the body. You can try to input magic power." Harry explained from the side.

"Okay." Karkaroff, who was in a flattered state, absolutely obeyed Harry's words. He tried to input his magic power into the wristband, and he found that the thing gradually lit up with a bright fluorescent light.

However, at this time, Harry secretly winked at Snape, who immediately waved his wand knowingly.

"Avada Kedavra."

"Why...why?!" A flash of green light hit him unexpectedly, and Karkaroff suddenly turned pale with fright, and hurriedly raised his hand to protect his body.

But he soon discovered that death did not really come, and at some point in front of him, a round shield shining with silver light appeared.

The shield seemed to extend from the wrist guard he was wearing, and it was deformed. It was it that just blocked the sudden death curse!

"Mr. Karkaroff, do you now know... the true meaning of this gift?" Harry asked indifferently.

"Got it... I know it now! This... is indeed a magical item, Mr. Granger, your alchemy attainments are as high as your magic power!" Karkaroff nodded his head in shock. , and at the same time did not forget to offer another flattery.

He was shot with a death curse for no reason. It is impossible for Karkaroff to have no resentment in his heart, but now he dares not speak out.

And he also knew that Harry was taking the opportunity to show his strength, and he was also beating him, so all he could do was accept this gift willingly, and at the same time express his gratitude in various ways.

"This thing will take the initiative to give an early warning when you are in danger. When you feel the tingling of your wrist, you just need to input magic power into it, and it can provide you with protection. However, this effect is not permanent. When After the magic power contained in it fades, you have to come to me to replenish it."

Harry waved a ball of undulating magic power, and the already dim wristband regained its luster. Seeing this, Karkaroff also understood that this thing needs to be recharged with Harry's magic power.

So if he wanted to continue to enjoy protection, he had to visit this mighty young man regularly.

Karkaroff doesn't think there's anything embarrassing about it, after all... face and dignity are never as important as life~

"If you don't mind bothering me, I will visit you often in the future, so I will take my leave today."

He made a promise to Harry that he was going to surrender, and then saw that Harry had already intended to see off the guests, so he took the initiative to say goodbye, and bowed out of the room.

"Karkaroff...he's quite a sensible guy~" After the other party left, Harry showed a satisfied smile.

After this carrot-and-stick operation, Karkaroff, the headmaster of Durmstrang, was completely subdued.

Although Hallimin had said that he would not trust him completely, it did not mean that this person was completely useless.

Since Karkaroff can become the headmaster of the three European schools, he must have real materials. As long as he is not allowed to face Voldemort and the Death Eaters, he will be very useful.

Of course, in addition to being satisfied, Harry still had a trace of curiosity.

"Sijiao, it's just to get rid of a Dark Mark. Does he really need to be so excited?"

"For those Death Eaters who don't want to continue to follow Voldemort, they will do this." Snape explained lightly, and there seemed to be some unbearable meaning in his words, "The Dark Mark is like a lifelong burden. Shackles and curses, once imprinted, can no longer be removed, and can only bear the name of 'Death Eater' forever."

"But even so, I don't intend to let go of those... Death Eaters who are not willing to follow Voldemort." At this moment, Harry's tone appeared extremely indifferent.

"Choose to return to work after Voldemort's return, they are more damned than those guys who went all the way!"

Chapter 710 Trust Is Actually a Double-Edged Sword

Karkaroff is undoubtedly a coward. He once betrayed his accomplices, but now he dare not confront Voldemort, and even less dare to return to the Death Eaters. He can only choose to seek refuge in Harry.

Whether it is the Order of the Phoenix headed by Lao Deng, or the Death Eaters led by Voldemort after his return, the attitude towards Karkaroff has always been suspicious, full of contempt...and want to kill and then hurry~

But to be honest, Harry didn't think there was anything hateful about this guy, on the contrary, he felt that the other person lived very clearly.

And no matter what his motives were, at least Karkaroff didn't turn in and rebel. The only thing he wanted was to find a backer and survive until the end of the war.

Compared to his cowardice, what Harry hates more are those bastards who have repeatedly jumped around in previous wars!

Once Voldemort rose up, those guys thought it was profitable, so they joined the Death Eaters;

But after Voldemort's downfall, they lied about being hit by the Imperius Curse and escaped from prison, and continued to live a life of luxury;

As a result, Voldemort's power has risen again, but because of fear and other reasons, they are rushing to return to Voldemort's hands again!

This kind of person is the most hateful scum.

They're not good guys, but they're not even bad guys!

They are just a bunch of moths with dirty water flowing in their stomachs, and they deserve to be trampled to death! !

These people, Harry would deal with them... when he had his final battle with Voldemort.

And Harry can say responsibly that there will be no prisoners in this war.

It's not that he hasn't given these people a chance. It's been half a year since the Quidditch World Cup ended, and this half year is enough for them to do many things.

Moving their families abroad or even leaving Europe, or surrendering to Harry, as Karkaroff had done, were all gestures they could make without a fight.

But some people are unwilling to choose this way, and insist on using various reasons as a cover to rejoin Voldemort's side...

Then their fate is already doomed!

"Granger, I have a question for you..."

Maybe it was because he sensed the murderous intent surging in Harry, or because he felt something about Karkaroff... Before he left, Snape seemed hesitant to speak.

"You should hate Death Eaters very much, and you said just now...With Karkaroff's character and experience, no matter what he does, you will not fully trust him. So...What about me?"

Snape, who had already walked to the door, asked in a trembling voice: "My experience is similar to that of Karkaroff. Why did you choose to trust me? Could it be because of your late mother?"

"That's only part of the reason," Harry smiled and didn't refute, but then he asked softly, "Sir, I actually want to ask you too... And why have you been unwilling to get rid of the black on your hands?" What about the magic mark?"

"I'm all right."

Hearing Harry's rhetorical question, Snape's expression was indiscernibly flustered. He didn't say anything, but left the room in a hurry.

Harry smiled broadly when he was alone in the room.

Si Jiao is definitely arrogant, no matter what, he refuses to admit to his face that he cares about himself.

Why not wash away the Dark Mark?

That is of course because, apart from representing the identity of a Death Eater, this thing is more importantly a beacon that can be used to detect Voldemort's current state!

Now that there is almost no means of monitoring Voldemort on our side, that's why Sijia wants to leave this mark, so that Harry can use the change of the mark to infer Voldemort's current state and confirm whether this guy has approached Hogwarts secretly.

So back to the previous question, why should Harry trust Snape?

What else could be the answer? He is willing~

Trust is actually a double-edged sword. When you hand it over, it is equivalent to giving the other party the right to hurt yourself.

So what Harry handed over was actually the risk that he might be hurt, but he really didn't care to take it.

Because he believes that those who really think about him wholeheartedly will never want to hurt him!

And such unconditional trust can sometimes bring great surprises, like this time.

If it weren't for Harry's extreme trust in Sister, how could he allow Sister to act cheaply alone, so as to make use of an inconspicuous Karkaroff to turn the tables in one fell swoop?

Such surprises are undoubtedly an important part of the double-edged sword of trust.

It's a pity...Harry is waiting for someone to come, and he may never experience such a surprise.

Because of the Order of the Phoenix under his leadership, including Alastor Moody, those seemingly trusted members...

Those people never had the right to act cheap~

...

The incident this time is really big, and the magic world in England and even Europe has been in turmoil recently.

Some people support it, while others belittle it. This kind of war of words between the Ministry of Magic shows no sign of stopping.

But Harry really didn't care about these things at all. He didn't go to school these days. He had nothing to do but do alchemy research, check the compilation progress of "New History of Magic", or improve the textbooks for his general social cognition class.

The situation in the British magic world is getting more and more chaotic, what does this have to do with him?

The International Federation of Wizards sends him accountability letters every day, but never dares to send anyone over, so why does he care about the ball?

Anyway, the first one who can't sit on the stool will definitely be someone else.

No, a few days after beating Karkaroff, in mid-March, Harry finally welcomed his second guest in the nursing home...

Albus Dumbledore.

To receive the principal, Harry didn't choose the living room before, but ordered someone to lead him into the dean's office of the nursing home...that is, Harry's own office.

"Mr. Principal, you are here, please sit down first."

Seeing the house-elf leading Dumbledore into the room, Harry hurriedly got up and greeted him with a smile. At the same time, he waved his wand and conjured a comfortable chair for Dumbledore.

"Thank you..." Dumbledore nodded slightly, he took a brief look at the decoration of the room, and couldn't help but sighed again.

Harry also placed a large desk in the dean's office. On the decorative shelves around the room, there were many alchemy items that should have been made by himself. They were shaped in sterling silver and had a little mist.

Among the bookshelves in the room, there are many books and materials neatly stacked. Through the glass window, Dumbledore can see some ancient books that he is familiar with, which should be the collection of Nicole Flamel; There are no photos of past principals hanging, but instead there are all kinds of alchemy arrays, as well as various anatomical diagrams of magical animals and human bodies...

Except for changing the perch that should have landed on the Phoenix into a cat climbing frame, and replacing Fox with two kittens playing, this place is like a replica of the Hogwarts principal's office.

Familiar display and decoration, and Harry's familiar opening sentence...

But now, the two people sitting inside and outside the table have completely switched places.

(ps Members of the Order of the Phoenix are absolutely obedient to Dumbledore. This is not what Sanmiao said, but an analysis post written by a certain HP column answerer, but Sanmiao thinks it makes sense.
