Chapter Four Hundred and Ninety-Eight of the Truth and Illusion [Thirty-Four/Thirty-Nine]

Chapter 498

A figure emerges from within, draped around a shawl, her eyes extra large behind her glasses, and she spins slowly, her feet floating in the Pensieve.

George recognized the man inside. Although he had never taken her course, he also knew that she was Professor Trelawney of the prophecy class.

Professor Trelawney said in a harsh, hoarse voice, "The man with the power to conquer the Dark Lord is approaching... Born into a family that defeated the Dark Lord three times... Born in the seventh month... ... the Dark Lord marked him as his rival."

"But he has energies that the Dark Lord doesn't understand... One must die at the hands of the other, because neither can live, only one survives... The one who has the energy to conquer the Dark Lord will be the seventh Born at the end of the month..."

The slowly spinning Professor Trelawney disappeared again, immersed in the silver thread below.

"Oh, that's the prophecy." George answered noncommittally and did not continue to speak.

"Well, there is no truth without trust." Dumbledore said helplessly, "I can only say that this memory is not forged by me, and other people have also heard this prophecy. Sybil's prophecy is not my intention. made."

George said lightly, "It's still hard to imagine that powerful wizards like you and Voldemort would pin everything on a baby because of a nonsense prophecy."

Honestly, since Voldemort said in the labyrinth that everything was Dumbledore's conspiracy. Compared with prophecy, George is more willing to believe that everything is Dumbledore's calculation, an exquisite and admirable strategy.

After all, whether it is from his own experience or the history of the magic world he knows, prophecy is a very unreliable thing.

Even if Dumbledore just revealed his memory, he didn't think it was convincing, just like Lockhart could manipulate other people's memories.

Compared to Lockhart, his ability to forge memories is still higher than Lockhart. As long as he wants, he can also control Trelawney and create a prophecy that no one knows.

This kind of fake prophecy, no one can tell except himself. Even Trelawney would only think that this was a real prophecy she made, and she couldn't tell whether her memory originated from herself or was modified.

"I know it seems a bit bizarre, but the situation was confusing to everyone. The battle has been going on for more than ten years, and Voldemort has been unable to defeat, and I have been unable to defeat Voldemort, we have been fighting for too long, everyone Tired, tired."

Dumbledore recalled the memory of the past and said with a sigh, "A prophecy that suddenly appeared, a prophecy that suddenly broke the deadlock, drove us all crazy. Sometimes I can't tell which prophecy caused the following. Change, or change, led to the fulfillment of the prophecy.”

"I also know that most of the prophecies are deceptive, and I know some of the prophecies myself, but that prophecy is very unusual."

Dumbledore's eyes wandered into his own memories, "The man who had only one chance to conquer Deedor forever was born at the end of July nearly fifteen years ago. This boy's parents had defeated Voldemort three times."

"Sybill's prophecy can be applied to two wizard boys, both born at the end of July of that year, both of whose parents were in the Order of the Phoenix, and who had both survived Voldemort's hands three times. One was Harry Potter and Neville Longbottom."

"After this, as prophesied, Voldemort marked his arch-enemy. He left that scar on Harry's forehead that was both a blessing and a curse, and part of his power, part of his soul entered Harry body."

Dumbledore looked at George with strange eyes again, and said, "Although it seems from now that it should be you, not Harry, who can finally defeat Voldemort."

George smiled softly,

He said flatly, "So it is still a nonsense prophecy after all."

Dumbledore said calmly, "But at the time, that was our only chance. Although we have been resisting Voldemort, his power will continue to increase with killing and destruction, and I am getting old."

"Contrary to what people think, Voldemort was not afraid of me. Even then, I was not sure of defeating Voldemort completely. I was not afraid of death, but I was worried about the world after death."

Dumbledore said with emotion, "Our victory was a fluke. The Pig's Head Bar has always been known for its low prices. This bar is by no means a safe place where you can count on your conversations not being eavesdropped."

"Also, when I set off to meet Sybill Trelawney, I never dreamed that I would hear something of great value. Voldemort's spies were also at the Hog's Head at the time, luckily the one who eavesdropped , was found after hearing only a small part of the prophecy, and was thrown out of the bar right after."

"And it was this luck that prevented Voldemort from hearing the most crucial part of the prophecy. Voldemort didn't know that attacking Harry was very dangerous. He marked Harry as his opponent and killed himself."

George sighed and said, "It's really a fluke, it's not so much that Voldemort lost to the prophecy, it's better that he lost to himself. If he was more cautious, he shouldn't believe in the prophecy, let alone. Take it lightly in the face of wizards, and finally be killed by the curse of death."

As for the truth of the matter, he did not want to go into depth, and no one knew the situation at that time. Maybe it's a coincidence, maybe it's a prophecy, maybe it's a conspiracy. But what about that, for the people at the time, more than ten years of war was too long. Everyone is tired and tired.

A prophecy that suddenly appeared, a prophecy that suddenly broke the ice, drove everyone crazy. In the end, no one could tell whether it was the prophecy that led to the subsequent changes, or the change that led to the fulfillment of the prophecy.

At the time, that was really the only chance wizards had. Dumbledore could never defeat Voldemort.

Like Dumbledore said, that's the only option for wizards, Voldemort's power will continue to grow with killing and destruction, and he's getting old. The rest of the wizarding world did nothing, seeing him as the only savior when all the weight was on him.

Everyone was saying that Dumbledore was the only person Voldemort feared. But only Dumbledore himself knew that he was old, and he didn't even dare to face Voldemort, just because he couldn't afford to lose at all, and the wizarding world couldn't afford to lose.
