The turmoil in the office subsided quickly, and on the side of the secret passage, Harry had been staring at Dumbledore in the portrait for a long time.
"I got the memory of Harry Potter who was supposed to survive in this time and space, so I am very curious about you." After thinking for a long time, Harry finally spoke, "He respects you very much, and he can even say something The degree of dependence, your death brought him a heavy blow, he even named his youngest son after you..."
"Unfortunately, the Harry Potter I knew died more than [-] years ago, and he didn't live much longer than me." Dumbledore in the portrait said with obvious regret in his voice, "But...if he To actually be alive, and to name his child that, as you say, I think I'd be very honored."
"So, do you love him?" Harry asked bluntly, "He respects and loves you so much, what about you? What about your feelings for him?!"
"Although I don't expect you to believe what I say, I do love him..." Dumbledore said softly, but his tone was very solemn, "Until the end, maybe even more than myself..."
"Heh... You said you loved him, but from the very beginning, you used him as a pawn against Voldemort!" As if feeling that the other party was trying to argue, Harry's tone gradually became more serious, and his words became harsher, "Just Because of the soul fragments in his body, because of the prophecy of that mad woman Trelawney, you decided to let him deal with Voldemort!"
"Since he entered school, he has fought against Voldemort several times in a row...but you are absent every time! You designed your own death, and you arranged the move of Sijiao in advance. Everything will eventually be subtly forced Let him take the initiative to find Voldemort to die! How dare you say that you love him like this?!"
"No...it's not like that! Don't you think I don't want to fight Voldemort on his behalf?" Dumbledore argued hoarsely, "If it's possible, I really don't want him to be hurt..."
"But you hurt him from the very beginning!" Harry said coldly, "You left him in a place where he didn't feel loved, despite all kinds of harshness and abuse from that family, you know his What kind of resentment should I have in my heart, and how many years will it take for these resentments to dissipate?"
"If you mean Privet Drive, then..."
Dumbledore's voice was already starting to choke, but Harry didn't notice and cut him off.
"A whole ten years! He stayed there alone, not knowing who he was, why he was there, and never knowing whether anyone would care about him!!"
Chapter 750 IX You Are The Light In His Life
Privet Drive, the Dursleys, and the Blood Protection Curse... No matter in which time and space, these are the biggest sticking points between Harry and Dumbledore.
Once at the end of the first grade, Harry brought up this sharp topic to Lao Deng, and Lao Deng who directly criticized him had to give in and bow his head, helplessly apologizing.
But the Harry Potter of this world has no chance to say these words to Dumbledore, and this knot has always been there.
It was first brought into the grave by Dumbledore, and left a copy in the spirit behind him. Later, when the timeline changed, Harry Potter also entered the grave with this regret...
Now, Harry brought up the old matter in agitation, which can be regarded as a grievance for Harry Potter in this time and space.
However, for Harry's questioning, Dumbledore just kept shaking his head, apologizing over and over again.
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry... At that time, I didn't want to get too close to him..."
The other party's appearance made Harry feel irritable for no reason.
It wasn't because he felt that Dumbledore was trying to shirk, but because... the apology was so simple!
So...why?
Why is it that Harry Potter here can easily get an apology even though they are all children, they all have the same face, and they are all facing Albus Dumbledore!
On the other hand, the person I was facing had to quibble, scold, and finally get angry, and insisted on forcing myself to die before I had to make a concession? !
"So... why on earth is this?!" Harry lost control of his emotions for a moment, and asked the portrait in front of him loudly, "Do you really think that all he needs is a blood protection spell?! "
He seemed a little confused, and even felt that the spirit behind him was the old Deng from the original time and space.
"I thought that way could protect him! I dare not keep him by my side...I, I'm really afraid of hurting you..."
Dumbledore jumped forward excitedly, and at this moment, he seemed to have begun to mistake Harry, who was full of excitement, for another person.
He tried hard to reach out his hand from the portrait, but couldn't.
Soon, the old man started to cry, but tried his best to hide it.
"But in the end, I had to meet you... 11 years old, you are so brave, so kind, and walked the path that fate arranged for you without complaint. Of course I love you, but I know that kind of thing will happen again Happened...Knowing that once I love, I will cause irreparable harm...I am not a person to love, my love will always cause damage..."
"Mr. Principal..." At this moment, Harry, who had escaped from his emotions, was slightly stunned, feeling as if he had realized something.
He no longer questioned Dumbledore, but just shook his head slightly: "If you were willing to tell him these things earlier, it might hurt him less."
"I was blinded, that's what love is like..." Dumbledore couldn't help sobbing, and he burst into tears for a while.
"I don't see that you need to know that this reserved, complicated and dangerous old man... loves you..."
"Mr. Principal...he is not without complaints, and I am the same." Facing Dumbledore like this, Harry sighed softly, with mixed feelings in his heart.
This time, he got Dumbledore's apology for replacing the identity of 'Harry Potter', but afterwards he was not as transparent as before, but only felt exhausted regret.
"It's all my fault." Dumbledore's emotions have stabilized again at this time, but his tone is still self-blame, "I always worry that the pain will strike again, but I forget that pain is for human beings. , as natural as breathing, there is no way to hide it; I claim to love Harry deeply, but I am not honest enough with him after all... and I only really understand this after I die."
"I can't feel this kind of emotion, because it's not exactly my experience." Harry shook his head lightly, but his tone was a little more solemn, "But I personally think that he will be very regretful...because he didn't die before he died." Meet your expectations."
"This is also a great regret for me," Dumbledore's voice became choked again, "I lost a treasure that is more important than my own life..."
Looking at the old man who was about to cry again, Harry finally confirmed what he had noticed...
Dumbledore and Old Deng are different, specious two people.
Although it can't be said from the beginning to the end, Dumbledore loved Harry Potter until the end of his life-or even after the end.
He may have been at fault, and he may have hurt Harry Potter by concealing it, but as he said...love blinds people's eyes.
He is not perfect, and he will also make mistakes, but at least he knows how to love, and he really gave love.
It's just that if it was him, Harry couldn't feel any love from Old Deng.
There may have been some before, such as when I was in the second grade, but it only lasted for a year.
When his growth gradually began to deviate from his expectations, the love that hadn't been warmed up was already taken back by the other party.
Therefore, Lao Deng's love is conditional, and must be rewarded.
Otherwise, why does he love himself now?
Do you love to spy on yourself, or do you love to trip yourself up, or do you love to label yourself at every turn, thinking that you must degenerate into a Dark Lord in the future? !
No matter what kind of 'love' it is, it doesn't matter now...
Through this time travel and the conversation with the spirit in Dumbledore's painting, Harry has determined the difference between the other party and Old Deng.
And what Harry needs to figure out now is why there is such a difference between them!
Therefore, he still has to travel forward in time to find out the reason!
But before that, he has another thing to do...
boom!
Just as Harry made up his mind and was about to bid farewell to Dumbledore's portrait, there was a sudden violent noise in the office outside.
At the same time, Harry heard a series of chaotic footsteps and various noisy shouts.
"What happened?" Harry frowned suddenly, "Mr. Principal, it seems that I can't chat with you anymore."
"It's okay...anything is actually far more important than me, an old man who is dead." Dumbledore shook his head understandingly, and then looked at Harry gratefully, "I'm glad to meet you, son...you seem to It made me see him, and it also convinced me... that the people we love will never really leave us."
"That's right!" Harry nodded solemnly, "I've got his memory, in another timeline where he was alive, even if more than twenty years have passed, even if he is the father of three children ...He still has deep in his heart what he wanted to say to you personally."
"I love you dearly, Professor Dumbledore...to this day, you are still the light in my life."
At this moment, Harry seemed to have really become Harry Potter. He faced Dumbledore in the portrait—rather than the "Mr. Headmaster" in his mouth, and bowed deeply.
After that, he hurriedly left the secret passage with great strides, leaving only the old man standing in a daze among the portraits on the corridor wall...
At the same time, in Snape's office, the situation was already tense!
Chapter 760
In the potions office at this time, the middle-aged Hermione could only stand there alone and worry because Hermione and Luna were staring at her at the same time.
And as time went on, her anxiety also involuntarily increased.
The current situation was clearly dire, and it was unclear whether Harry Granger would be willing to hand over the Time-Turner, but Snape seemed to have made up his mind not to help.
No... how could he do this?
Just met Harry Granger, why did this guy fall to him so easily?
Could it be that just because of the good things that guy said to him, he started to be biased?
What about firm will? !
Boom! !
However, just when the middle-aged Hermione was fidgeting and having broken thoughts, there was a sudden tremor in the potions office!
The door of the office and the surrounding walls were blasted into a big hole without warning, and what appeared behind the wreckage accompanied by thick smoke was an old man with dimples on his face, but still dressed in a pink robe. old hag.
"Dolores Umbridge..." Snape murmured out the other person's name, and for a moment he couldn't help but look awe-inspiring.
This old toad, who has become a spirit, is now the headmaster of Hogwarts... In other words, he is the leader of the Death Eaters here in the school!
I saw this guy aggressively breaking into the blasted room, followed by several Death Eaters in black robes and masks... Of course, in today's Hogwarts, they should be called professors.
And at the end, there were more than a dozen monsters like black mist. Even if they didn't get close, Snape and the others in the room would feel the temperature plummet!
"Dementors..." The middle-aged Hermione trembled unconsciously.
Of course she would not fail to recognize such monsters, they were what Harry Potter was most afraid of...
"Look, take a look...Professor Snape, you have closed the door of the office so tightly that you are indeed here to meet guests~" Umbridge held his wand in his hand, standing proudly in the room Stand still in the center, "Hermione Granger, this is the most wanted criminal on the list, and these two other little wizards, are they also rebels? Professor Snape, can you explain ...Why did I hang out with them?"
The room was silent for a while, Snape didn't speak, Hermione and Luna watched coldly, while the middle-aged Hermione suddenly fell into panic on the basis of anxiety.
However, just when Umbridge was looking at everyone in the room, Snape made an unusual move in her opinion...
He smiled.
"How long have you doubted me?" Snape asked flatly, and at the same time the wand slipped down the sleeve of his robe and slipped into his palm.
"It has been many years, and every year there must be some problems in the arrest operation. I have been wondering who leaked the information..." Umbridge aimed his wand at Snape's face, "Obviously, Only you and I have the right to view the access book, so there must be something wrong with you, the vice principal! Unexpectedly, you are actually colluding with this group of rebels, I should have done it sooner!"
Umbridge glared darkly at Snape, and at the same time swung his wand sharply at him.
Her movements were fast, but Snape's movements were even faster. Before her spell could be successfully released, a group of dazzling light spots shot out from Snape's side one step at a time!
"Repel at full speed!!"
Bang!
A full blown knockback spell hit Umbridge in the chest, turning her into a rolling toad, rolling from the wreckage and falling out of the room.
"You're so self-righteous, Umbridge, it won't do you any good." Snape shook the wand in his hand gracefully, "Did I tell you that you are the weakest person Hogwarts has ever seen?" headmaster?"
"Damn bastards... Let's go together! Get their souls out!!"
After being beaten up and ridiculed by Snape repeatedly, Umbridge was instantly outraged, screaming and chasing all the accomplices he had brought with him.
All of a sudden, several masked Death Eaters pulled out their wands at the same time, and a group of dementors in the corridor frantically rushed into the already overcrowded room as if they smelled a delicious delicacy!
"Armor body protection! Call God to protect the body!"
However, in the face of such a dangerous situation, Snape remained unflappable. First, he quickly cast an Iron Armor Curse on himself, and then a cloud of light mist spewed out from the tip of his wand, summoning a white and beautiful doe.
The doe, which looked like a real body, opened its beautiful eyes and knocked over several roaring dementors at once!
"Calling God Guard... No way!"
Seeing that Snape was a tough nut to crack, the dementors immediately turned around and began to attack the middle-aged Hermione with teeth and claws. The latter also pulled out his wand to fight back, but her Patronus Charm But failed to release!
It takes a happy mood to release the Patronus Charm, but the middle-aged Hermione's recent experiences did not make her happy at all. For a while, she could only let the dementor roar close!
"Call God Guard!"
However, at this moment, there was a soft shout from behind her, and then a white light flew quickly from behind her, and then transformed in front of her, turning into a mighty giant griffin!
Bang!
As soon as the majestic monster appeared on the stage, it blocked the steps of all the dementors. Its huge wings flapped suddenly, and then it suddenly let out an astonishing roar!
"Roar!!"
A roar directly shook the office, and those monsters who were planning to try it all ran away right now!
"Crazy girl, let's take a shot together, just to test whether that fighting method is effective." After easily eliminating a group of dementors, Hermione turned to Luna and extended an invitation with a smile.
Hermione knew very well that Harry, who hadn't shown up until now, must have secretly controlled the situation a long time ago, so now they have nothing to fear, and they can use these Death Eaters as training objects as they like.
"Okay, you know everything~" Luna also nodded kindly, and then the two started to move at the same time, swaggering towards the Death Eaters on the opposite side.
"Hmph, looking for death!", "Do you still want to resist?!"
Seeing that Hermione and Luna were so overbearing, the two closest enemies immediately shot two curses at them, but the figures of the two women easily hid elsewhere before the curses flew over, and then they shot two shots with their backhands. The curse returned the favor, causing the two Death Eaters to rush around with their bare hands!
