Chapter 465 The Afterglow of the Setting Sun
Dumbledore's words made Harry feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. All his good expectations for the summer vacation suddenly disappeared.
"But I have a godfather now, and Sirius is also my relative," Harry stammered in defense.
Compared to the Dursleys, who treated him badly, Harry felt that Sirius was his true relative.
Although they had just met for less than a month, Harry could feel Sirius's concern for him, which he would never be able to experience at the Dursley's.
There it was more like a servant or a slave, living in a storage room, being scolded, starved, and bullied by Dali and his friends.
However, Dumbledore shook his head, shattering his illusion. "This is not possible, Harry! To maintain this kind of magic, you must have a close relative by blood."
"Then let it fail! I have the ability to protect myself!" Harry said angrily.
Harry could no longer stand living at the Dursleys' house. Anyway, his uncle's family hated him, and he happened to hate them too. As long as he moved out, he wouldn't have to worry about anyone else.
"And Sirius will also protect me, right!" Harry looked at Sirius like a desperate little beast looking for shelter.
Sirius nodded solemnly, he didn't want to disappoint Harry.
Harry immediately seemed to have gained courage and turned to look at Dumbledore.
"Ah yes, I believe this, but wouldn't it be better to add a layer of insurance?" Dumbledore still insisted on his own ideas and was unwilling to change.
Harry eagerly wanted to argue again, but Dumbledore's next words shut him up.
"The protective magic on your body is the result of Lily's love for you. I think she must hope that this love will accompany and protect you when she is away. Harry, you don't want to live up to her kindness either. Right?"
Harry fell silent, unable to utter any retort. His heart felt like it was being suppressed by a big stone, and the scenes were recalled in his mind.
Dumbledore paid keen attention to Harry's emotional changes, and immediately understood that his words had an effect, so he continued.
"I understand how you feel, Harry! But before you graduate"
"Enough! Stop talking!" Harry shouted, interrupting Dumbledore.
At the same time, his shouts also attracted the attention of other people in the tavern, and many people cast their eyes over.
After venting for a while, Harry felt a little overwhelmed for a moment, his mind was in confusion, and finally he simply ran out of the tavern in anger.
Dumbledore subconsciously stretched out his right hand to stop Harry, but was a step too late and was dodged by the latter.
Ivan, who had been paying attention to Dumbledore throughout the whole process, only then saw that the old professor's right hand was charred and black, and there was a gold ring with a black gemstone on his thumb.
Except for Ivan, everyone else's attention was attracted by Harry and they didn't notice it at all. Sirius immediately chased after him, followed closely by Ron and Hermione.
"Professor, your right hand is injured?" Ivan asked hesitantly after everyone else left their seats.
Although he asked this, Ivan already understood everything when he saw the ring and the blackened scars.
Dumbledore was poisoned by Voldemort's Horcrux and will probably die soon.
But how could it be so fast?
Ivan was immediately stunned. He could confirm this because the same thing happened in the original time and space, but it should have happened during the summer vacation after Harry's fifth grade.
He was still hesitating whether he should find a reason to remind Dumbledore during the next school year to be careful about the Horcrux hidden in Gaunt's old house.
Unexpectedly, Dumbledore had already fallen into the trap before he even made up his excuse!
Ivan was very puzzled as to why Dumbledore could find the whereabouts of this Horcrux in advance.
Could it be the butterfly effect caused by having two Horcruxes destroyed in a row?
Ivan frowned, and his original leisurely attitude was swept away, and turned into a heavy one.
Unlike Ivan who was secretly anxious in his heart, Dumbledore didn't seem to care much about his injuries. He casually explained that he only suffered a minor injury, and it felt like he had fallen halfway.
"But it may take me a while to get used to it before my left hand becomes more flexible."
At this point, Dumbledore's expression became troubled. For a person who is accustomed to using his right hand, it would be difficult to adapt to suddenly switching to the other hand.
"I hope you're fine!" Ivan responded perfunctorily, looking at the gray-haired old professor in front of him with mixed feelings in his heart.
Ever since the misunderstanding about Asia was resolved during the first grade summer vacation, the person he was most wary of was Dumbledore!
After all, with his strength, he has the confidence to fight against other people, even powerful professors such as Snape and McGonagall!
No matter how hard it is, you can still escape successfully
It was different when facing Dumbledore. Ivan could only feel deeply powerless.
Every time he meets, even if the other person has no intention of targeting him, he can feel the vague pressure on the other person.
Ivan knew very well that if he and Dumbledore fought, there would be no chance of winning!
The most important thing is that for a person like him who has many secrets, Dumbledore's Legilimency is like a nemesis, and no matter how hard you guard against it, you can't be too careful.
However, when he learned that the greatest white wizard's time was running out, Ivan's first reaction was not to be relieved, but to panic!
If Dumbledore dies, who will contain the Ministry of Magic? Who will fight Voldemort?
Everything is in chaos.
Ivan became a little uneasy, and Dumbledore might notice something strange, so he excused himself to check on Harry's condition and left the Three Broomsticks Bar.
After going out, Ivan watched the sunset in the distance slowly sink into the horizon as if it had exhausted its last rays of light. He sighed deeply and took out a shining golden badge from the pocket of the wizard's robe.
Although Ivan doesn't know what kind of conflict Dumbledore and his mother Asia have, but judging from the past few years, the old professor has been quite good to him. This second-level Merlin Medal was given to him by the other party. apply.
Ivan couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If possible, he would like to provide some help.
It's just that kind of injury. Even Dumbledore, the strongest man in the wizarding world, and Snape, the master of magic, can't do anything about it. What can he, a little wizard, do?
