Chapter 635: Sand in Friendship? The Weakest Time Is Also the Most Dangerous (1/2)
Chapter 635: Sand in friendship? The weakest time is also the most dangerous
"Harry, I'll give you a hint. Of course, it's up to you to believe it or not." Aberforth smiled meaningfully, "The more you trust someone, the less likely they will let you see this memory, unless your friendship is sand in it."
"Good guy, really good guy." Aaron opened his eyes wide in surprise, "You old man are not a good thing either."
"I'm over a hundred years old, and I don't care about other people's opinions anymore." Aberforth said indifferently.
"Harry, have you thought about it?" Aaron asked.
"I..." Harry hesitated. Ron, Luna, Ginny, Neville, and Hermione all had life-threatening friendships with him. He believed that no matter who it was, they would satisfy his curiosity.
But Aberforth didn't seem to be joking, so this choice must be made carefully.
Hermione must be excluded first. Her rationality is the highest among all people, and she will not let Aaron down.
Luna was probably about the same, and as for Neville...his parents were on Aaron's side, and he didn't want Neville to feel embarrassed, so he could only choose between Ron and Ginny.
"Ron." Harry made a decision.
"A wise decision, he is the only one who might agree among the five people." Aaron clapped his hands, then waved his hand, and a magic circle appeared, and the meditation basin and the marble base were summoned to the side of the conference table.
Aaron took out two memory bottles, a green and a red one, and used his wand to pick out some of the silver material in the green memory bottle, and slowly put it into the meditation basin.
"This is only part of Dumbledore's plan." Aaron then raised the bottle in his hand, "As for the rest of it, it's here, and they don't know except me and Clea."
"What about the red memory bottle?" Hermione asked curiously.
"I haven't seen the memory in this bottle either.
I promised that person that I would only show this memory to the right person when the time is right."
"What a mess?" Ron said impatiently, "Who is that person?"
"You can find the answer in the Pensieve. If I'm not mistaken, that person means that after his death, the memory in the red bottle will be given to Harry Potter." Aaron said earnestly, and then made a gesture of invitation, "Ladies first."
Hermione, Luna, and Ginny looked at each other, then left their seats and walked to the Pensieve.
"Just put your head in, right?" Hermione asked nervously.
"Yes." Luna nodded, "We will enter the memory and watch from God's perspective."
"I have experience." Ginny said weakly, "Tom Riddle took me to his memory."
"Be prepared, this part is unbelievable, but it is reasonable and not so cruel."
Aberforth frowned, "You mean the rest will be cruel, right?"
Aaron raised his eyebrows and silently gave him a thumbs up, "wise, but the so-called cruelty is only relative."
The three girls took a deep breath in tacit understanding and slowly approached the Pensieve.
After a dizzy spell, they entered the headmaster's office and saw Albus Dumbledore and another person they didn't expect, Severus Snape.
"You must kill me with your own hands, Severus.
This is the only way, only in this way will the Dark Lord trust you completely."
"The time has come, you have to tell Harry Potter something, but you must wait until Voldemort is at his weakest."
......
"You must tell Voldemort the exact date Harry left his aunt and uncle's house. Voldemort thinks you are well-informed. If you don't do this, it will arouse suspicion.
But you must instill the idea of using a substitute into others. I think that should ensure Harry's safety. Try to use the Confusion Charm on Mundungus.
If you have to participate in the chase, you must be convincing. I expect you to continue to gain Voldemort's trust, otherwise Hogwarts will be at the mercy of the Carrow brothers and sisters."
......
The three exited the memory, their eyes full of disbelief.
"This is not true." Ginny was stunned and said incoherently, "How could it be him, how could it be..."
"Ginny." Fred and George interrupted hurriedly, "Don't say that person's name."
"I know, but this... How is this possible?"
"In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is very possible." Luna's voice was a little trembling, "Dumbledore had a premonition of his own death, and his arrangements were reasonable. Isn't the current situation of Hogwarts just as he expected?
If it weren't for that person's cooperation, I'm afraid that the Temple of the Gods would not be able to protect so many people."
Ginny was speechless. The iron-clad facts were in front of her, and she couldn't deceive herself.
Hermione looked at Aaron, "You have always believed in him, right?"
"You used to believe in him, until something happened."
Hermione pursed her lips and was speechless.
She used to believe that Snape was not a bad person. Even though Harry attributed Sirius' death to him, she still had hope for Snape.
Because Aaron respected him and Dumbledore trusted him, but she had to admit that Snape was a damned traitor only after Dumbledore was killed by Snape himself.
But she never expected that the truth of the matter would be like this. The most hateful person suddenly became the greatest. This reversal really caught people off guard.
"There are two reasons why I took out this part of the memory.
The first is for the safety of that person. If he died in the hands of his own people, it would be too unfair to him.
As for the second..." Aaron paused, "Let's wait until Ron and Neville finish reading these memory fragments!"
Ron and Neville walked to the Pensieve nervously. Judging from Ginny's performance, this memory might not be so easy to accept.
The two put their heads close to the Pensieve and entered the memory.
In the same scene, saw the same people, and heard the same conversation.
Neville had no expression on his face, but his face was slightly pale. The huge amount of information had a great impact on his mind.
"Watfa..."
Ron cursed directly and said in disbelief: "Dumbledore, Dumbledore..."
"What happened to him?" Harry asked hurriedly.
Ron's voice stopped abruptly, and he forced a smile that was uglier than crying, "Harry, I understand why Aaron didn't let you know this memory. You won't believe it."
"Not only will you not believe it, you will collapse." Neville added, "This is really ridiculous, but it's also too reasonable."
"You don't want me to see it, right?" Harry calmed down and asked.
Ron and Neville hesitated for a moment and nodded in unison.
Snap! Snap! Snap!
Aaron clapped his hands and said meaningfully: "Like Aberforth said, congratulations, Harry, your friendship with them is pure."
Harry nodded with a wry smile, and the feeling of loss of being kept in the dark surged in his heart again, but this time it was stronger than before.
"Then when can I see it?"
"The time is ripe." Aaron smiled.
"Like what this memory says?" Hermione frowned slightly, "When Voldemort was at his weakest, that person was going to tell Harry Potter something."
"That's right." Aaron raised the green memory bottle in his hand, "That thing is in this bottle. If Harry didn't know about it, Voldemort would never be defeated.
It was only after reading this memory that I knew why Dumbledore believed in the prophecy."
"When Voldemort was at his weakest?" Harry asked puzzledly, "When was he at his weakest?"
"This is the second reason I want to say, the time is ripe."
As soon as the voice fell, the thought body held Abe and flew to the floating island meeting room.
Ron, Harry, Luna and Hermione all stared in astonishment. They looked back and forth between the two Aarons, but could not find any difference.
"Two, two Aarons?" Ron was dumbfounded. "Twin brothers?"
"It's a clone." Hermione took a deep breath and said, "He told me, but I didn't expect it to be so similar."
"Really? We didn't believe it at first." Fred said.
"But this is very magical." George exclaimed, "The clone is attracting attention in Hogwarts, and the original body is outside recruiting people. Cedric and Percy were invited in this way."
"It's a pity that he didn't teach us, and said that we couldn't learn it even if we were taught with our talents."
"Fortunately, he didn't teach." Ginny snorted, "Two are enough to make Mom upset, four, hehe!"
"Ginny, you have changed."
"That's right, we are not at home, how can we make Mom upset?"
"Ahem!" Aaron coughed, "Let me introduce solemnly, this is my clone."
"Good evening, everyone." The thought body simply waved his hand, "Although I am a clone, please don't treat me as a clone. There is no difference between me and the original body. I can get hurt, bleed, and have feelings.
If you insist on saying there is a difference, he can leave a corpse when he dies, and I will leave nothing when I die."
Everyone:......
"Can't you say it nicer?" Aaron said speechlessly.
"No matter how nice it sounds, it can't change the fact." The thought body shrugged and sat next to the main body, "Take out the things!"
Abe jumped onto the conference table and put his two claws into his pockets.
After a while, it took out a golden locket with a snake pattern and a glittering crown inlaid with gems.
"Horcruxes, two Horcruxes." Harry swallowed his saliva, shocked beyond words.
"As you can see, Slytherin's locket was found by 'Gandalf', and Ravenclaw's crown was found by me in the Request."
"It feels like we have worked for nothing for most of the past six months." Ron murmured.
"Considering your age, this is already very remarkable." Aberforth glanced at Aaron, "It's just that I met a more perverted one.
I have lived for more than a hundred years and participated in several wizard wars, but this is the first time I have seen such a person.
Even Dumbledore and Grindelwald at the same age are far inferior to him."
"I will take it as a compliment." Aaron said speechlessly.
"Are you just leaving it here?" Ron asked puzzledly, "Horcruxes are very dangerous, right?"
"Yes, Ron, quickly bring Gryffindor's sword." Harry realized it later, "Destroy them immediately."
"Wait, don't be so anxious." The thought body stopped him, "I sent Voldemort's Horcruxes here specifically not for you to destroy them. Even if you want to destroy them, I should do it myself."
Aaron nodded in agreement. Destroying a Horcrux costs 500 magic points, and these two Horcruxes can exchange for a talisman.
"Horcruxes have incredible magic power, and keeping them around is a disaster." Harry said anxiously.
"So I sealed them all." Aaron said easily, and then lightly tapped the Ravenclaw crown, and seven magic circles of red, yellow, blue, green, purple, black, and white appeared.
These magic circles formed a prison, and a group of black mist rushed inside, but it was difficult to shake the prison.
"It seems that your worries are completely unnecessary, Harry." Cedric smiled.
"Then we shouldn't keep them." Harry said stubbornly.
"I understand your idea, but Voldemort will notice if more than half of the Horcruxes are destroyed.
Tom Riddle's diary and Marvolo Gaunt's ring have been destroyed. If one more Horcrux is destroyed, the number will reach half."
Harry frowned slightly, "After Voldemort realizes that the Horcruxes are destroyed, he will protect the Horcruxes that have not been destroyed more strictly."
"Yes, that's right, that's what I mean.
It is in our best interest to collect more Horcruxes and destroy them together."
"The locket, the crown and the ones that have been destroyed make four Horcruxes." Moody's magic eye turned, and he said seriously: "The remaining Hufflepuff's gold cup and the snake."
"The time Dumbledore mentioned is after destroying the other five Horcruxes except Nagini. At that time, Voldemort will be the weakest." Aaron Said, then changed the subject, "But when he is weakest, he is also the most dangerous.
The prophecy made Harry Potter the savior, and one of him and Voldemort must die at the hands of the other.
Simply put, only by killing Harry Potter can Voldemort rest assured."
Hearing this, Sirius frowned, "If the Horcrux is not destroyed, Voldemort will feel that he has enough time and play a game with Harry like a cat playing with a mouse.
But once he realizes that the Horcrux is destroyed, he will lose his sense of security and feel the threat of death. He will kill Harry at all costs and end the prophecy."
"That's right." The thought body clapped his hands and said, "It's rare that you will have a brain one day."
Sirius:......
Are you polite?
"Like Sirius said, this is why I kept these two Horcruxes.
As long as Voldemort doesn't notice that the Horcruxes are destroyed, the initiative is in our hands, and the decisive battle can be delayed for a while."
After the words fell, everyone's expression became serious.
Decisive battle? To be honest, they are mentally prepared, but not practically prepared.
