Chapter 83 Scared
Solim stared at a figure standing by the bookshelf as if he had seen a ghost.
"Headmaster! You're playing with fire!" Solim turned his head to stare at Dumbledore, took a deep breath, and calmed himself down, "Okay, Headmaster, what do you want to do?"
"Like I said, he's different," Dumbledore said softly.
"Him?" Solim's tone was very flat, as if he was discussing what to eat for supper, "Isn't it 'it'? To be honest, I thought you were a cautious person, principal, so I rest assured I will give you the artifact, the resurrection stone, the diary, and so on. But I will reconsider in the future.”
"You mean, you know where the other Horcruxes are?" Dumbledore looked at Thom.
"Maybe....………"
"You have so little confidence in me, an old man?" Dumbledore suddenly smiled, "You think I will be confused by him?"
"This is nothing new to you, Principal. Is it?" Solim folded his arms and looked at Riddle, who was watching them now, with no expression on his face.
After a moment of silence, Dumbledore said: "It is true that I was bewitched by Tom at first, and let him do so much under my nose...but the situation now is different from that then."
"Different? Are you saying that he doesn't have the ability to confuse people now? Or that you won't be confuse by him now?" Solim shook his head, "Compared to the half-dead Voldemort now, I think the threat in front of me is bigger .”
"Ah, thanks for the compliment, but I don't think so, I can't compare with that lunatic." Riddle said with a smile on the side, he seemed to take Solim's words as a compliment.
"Of course, how could that lunatic be in danger to you." Solim sneered, "The current lunatic will only use power to take what he wants, and will directly torture those who disobey him or use the Cruciatus Curse The Killing Curse kills it straight away, but you're different, aren't you?"
"Solim, I know what you're worried about." Dumbledore took over the words at this moment, "You think the current one has no power, but has brains, and you worry about what kind of conspiracy he will devise. We all know that enemies who are good at using wisdom are better than enemies who are good at using intelligence. Enemies of brute force are more difficult to deal with, but please believe me, although I am old, I have not yet reached the point where my eyesight is dim."
Solim didn't speak, he knew Dumbledore hadn't finished his sentence.
"As I said, he's different." Dumbledore put his hands on the table. "He is a complete personality, and he can even exist without this diary. Rather than saying that he is Voldemort's Horcrux, it would be better to say that Voldemort is his separated residue."
Both Dumbledore and Solim knew what Voldemort had become after splitting his soul so many times. Cranky, irritable, impatient, and completely inhuman due to Voldemort's magical transformation of himself, it also made him stronger, but this power came at a price: the part of him that was more and more human The less, the behavior is more and more inclined to the beast, and because his soul has been split many times, his soul is extremely unstable. The external manifestation of soul instability is that he cannot control his emotions.
Through various channels and methods, Voldemort has indeed made himself seem stronger, but from a certain point of view, his weaknesses are increasing, and these weaknesses are also more fatal to him. The absence and instability of his soul made Voldemort almost immune to soul magic, and he couldn't use any soul magic. If he used it forcibly, it would cause damage to his remaining soul.
Solim was well aware of this aspect, and it also explained why Voldemort rarely used this loophole even though he knew of his connection to Harry's soul. If he were to take advantage of the connection between himself and Harry's soul, it would do Voldemort's own soul a disservice.
But what Dumbledore said is that the Riddle in front of him has no such deficiency in this aspect. If the connection between him and Voldemort is removed, he is a complex of soul and consciousness without a body. Give him a body , he can become a normal person.
"So," Solim looked down at his hands, "do you want to give him a body? Make him come alive? Principal, how do you prevent the risks involved?"
Solim didn't ask Dumbledore how he planned to do it. Since Dumbledore said such a thing, he must have thought it through. Solim just wanted to know how Dumbledore was going to ensure that Riddle would not become an obstacle for them. As long as Riddle doesn't follow Voldemort's old ways, as long as he doesn't get in the way of Solim, he doesn't bother to care about what Del will do with his body.
"Your attitude seems to be different from what you had just now." Dumbledore noticed it keenly.
Solim was still looking down at his hands.
"Indeed, at the beginning I didn't approve of such a thing that would cause great changes." Solim chuckled, "But what does it have to do with me? At worst, you make another mistake and just create another Voldemort II. It’s just a few more people dying, as long as it has nothing to do with me, why should I care about these things?”
"That's true," Dumbledore's tone was still calm, "At first Tom had nothing to do with you, but when you gave me the ring of the Gaunt family and this diary he made when he was sixteen, You two have a relationship. As you said, there is no relationship between you and Tom, and he can't affect you, so Solim, can you tell me now? Why are you so concerned about him? So caring? And I believe that ordinary people are not capable of finding two horcruxes in a short period of time, but you did it, and......." Dumbledore's body moved forward slightly Qing, "From what you said just now, I have reason to believe that you still know where the other horcruxes are, but you haven't taken them out. Maybe those horcruxes are already in your hands. Am I right, Solim?"
...asking for flowers...
Solim didn't speak, silence is the best choice at this time.
"I know, you must be wondering why I made such a choice." Dumbledore pushed back his chair and stood up, "He is different, which I have already said, which means that this sixteen-year-old Tom Del can be saved, he can avoid going down the wrong path that Voldemort is taking now, and he can become a completely different person from Voldemort."
"So... is it all because of your guilt?" Solim said, "You still think it's your fault that the current madman became what he is now? You think it's because you didn't discipline Well, that's why he's the Voldemort he is now? And you want to undo the mistakes you made? Through the soul in this diary?"
Solim looked at Riddle, who had been watching the play, "I really admire you, really. Although I knew from some things how clever your tricks are, I didn't expect that you could make the principal Give you another chance."

After finishing speaking, Solim stood up and looked at Dumbledore: "Principal, although I don't agree with your idea, I respect your choice. Although I don't like it..." Glancing at Riddle, "So, Principal Is this what you mean by the 'interesting thing' that will happen this year? You must have known by now from his mouth that there is a thousand-year-old basilisk in the secret room, and we all know that he is A Parseltongue, how do you guarantee he won't use that basilisk to mess with school?"
"Oh? You even know this." Riddle said in amazement, his eyes never left Solim after he came out, "This really surprises me
You know, it took me years to collect clues about the Chamber of Secrets, and I'm sure I didn't tell anyone about the Chamber of Secrets at the time, and I don't think the madman now will tell anyone about his school days So how did you know?"
"Principal." Solim ignored Riddle, and neither did Riddle.
"I'll just ask, what are you going to do? Use him to train Harry Potter?" Solim glanced at Riddle, "How do you make sure he doesn't take the opportunity to kill Potter?
"Harry Potter......" Hearing this name, Riddle's tone was a little excited, "I've wanted to meet him for a long time, principal, you didn't tell me, how did that kid do it? "
"Perhaps you can ask him yourself," Dumbledore said with a smile.
Hearing what Dumbledore said, Solim closed his eyes and exhaled slowly: "Are you going to let him meet Potter?"
"Of course, why not? Don't you think this is a good opportunity to exercise him again?".
