Harry Potter and the Great Old Ones

Chapter 244 Finale

Surprisingly, after discussing with Cornelius Fudge, Gilderoy Lockhart left Hogwarts very easily——

He was so relaxed that he even went to the principal's office to ask for an audience——

As a result, the gargoyle coldly told Gilderoy Lockhart that Dumbledore was in a meeting and would not see anyone.

Then "Gilderoy Lockhart" is——

I had no choice but to apply oil on the soles of my feet and slip away quickly.

To be honest, although Tiera made up an excuse, she was still not sure whether Dumbledore would believe Tiera.

Tiera asked "Gilderoy Lockhart" to go find Dumbledore. She originally planned to give up the identity of "Gilderoy Lockhart" and put all the blame in the case if Dumbledore didn't believe it.

Stop "Gilderoy Lockhart" and let him enter Azkaban and his own mouse breeding base.

Now since Dumbledore doesn't want to meet him, it's just a good idea to let "Gilderoy Lockhart" leave quickly and let Dumbledore do whatever he wants.

At the same time, inside the principal's office.

Dumbledore, who was looking at the Pensieve with a gloomy expression, said:

"I'll save you the trouble of being polite. Now I just want to know what happened."

Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape, standing in the middle of the principal's office, looked at each other——

"Don't you notice anything?" Dumbledore asked again, "What's strange about Tiera, and what's unusual about Tiera?"

Snape and Professor McGonagall remained silent.

"Alas..." Dumbledore suddenly sighed and said, "Sorry, I was too emotional just now..."

"Albus... is ours..." Professor McGonagall said, but was interrupted by Dumbledore waving his hand.

"I can see that there is a huge conspiracy brewing on Tiera," Dumbledore said, "but I can't see what it is."

"Albus..." McGonagall said helplessly, wanting to say a few words of comfort, but she didn't know how to say it, so she had to ask, "Albus, what are you thinking?"

"I have no idea at the moment." Dumbledore said, and then rubbed his brows tiredly.

"I used to guess," Dumbledore said. "When I was in first grade, I guessed that Tiera was just an ordinary little wizard who accidentally got a certain dark magic book."

"Although this kind of situation is rare, it has happened many times at Hogwarts. Many young wizards of Muggle origin accidentally discovered the dark magic books scattered in the Muggle world, and studied and practiced without authorization."

Lido said, "So at that time, I only classified Tiera into this category and didn't pay too much attention to it."

Professor McGonagall and Snape also nodded in agreement.

"But when I was in second grade, I found that things were not that simple." Dumbledore continued, "I began to feel that Tiera's intelligence, understanding, and character, as well as his understanding of human nature,

Control, etc. cannot simply be explained by precociousness, precocious wisdom and an unexpected book on black magic."

"But isn't the final result very clear?" Professor McGonagall said, "Tiera's various performances are the result of being affected by the mysterious man and the Ravenclaw diadem."

"Yes, I thought so at first," Dumbledore said, "but Tiera's series of performances this semester made me overturn this conclusion... Do you know? From Halloween last year to before the Christmas holiday last year

Tiera...are all Sirius pretending to be."

"What?" Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape were both shocked and looked at each other.

"I thought it was just adolescence." Professor McGonagall said, "He did behave very abnormally during that period...very inconsistent..."

"That's it! That's it!" Snape suddenly blushed as if he remembered something, and then said through gritted teeth.

"But didn't Sirius prove to be harmless?" Professor McGonagall asked doubtfully, "Did Sirius take the risk... and kidnap Tiera?"

"No," Dumbledore said, "This is what makes me feel weird... Tiera... gave up her identity on her own initiative."

"Voluntarily give up?" Professor McGonagall asked doubtfully, "What do you mean?"

"When Sirius was arrested, I noticed the golden thread on his hand..." Snape suddenly interrupted, "Could it be that..."

"That's it." Dumbledore said, "I think Tiera must have reached some kind of deal with Sirius. What price did Sirius pay in exchange for Tiera's identity before Christmas?"

"So where was the real Tiera during that time?" Professor McGonagall asked.

"I don't know." Dumbledore said, "This is what I'm confused about... Tiera has too many questions that even I can't answer. He is like a fog that I can't see through.

.”

"But what I am sure of is that there must be a secret organization behind Tiera... This organization pushed Tiera to the forefront and used Tiera to achieve some kind of ulterior purpose..." Dumbledore

said.

"Excuse me for interrupting, Mr. Headmaster." Snape said, "How do you judge that there is a secret organization behind Tiera, rather than all this being planned by Tiera herself?"

"Don't be stupid, Severus." Professor McGonagall rolled her eyes at Professor Snape and said, "If Tiera planned it all by herself, what was he planning?"

"Yes, this is what I am confused about." Dumbledore said, "A person who plans something must have a motive, and now, he will definitely get some kind of benefit... But what about Tiera? He

What is the purpose of planning these things? As far as we know, he has been injured, injured and injured from the beginning to now, and has gained nothing, even...even..."

"He even lost his right arm and right eye...I...I haven't seen this scene for many years..." Dumbledore said with some choking, "It's like going back to World War II.

...It's too bloody...The death and pain are so nakedly displayed in front of our eyes...If it was planned by him...No, it's impossible, I simply can't believe that someone would be so cruel to me..."

"I carefully inspected his wounds..." Dumbledore continued to mutter to himself, "His wounds were caused by dark magic... including fire and a dark magic substance that I can't identify at the moment.

...His right arm will never grow back. As far as I know, there is no power that can make Tiera grow another right arm of his own. He will be with cold wood and alchemical metals for the rest of his life. I can

So... Tiera is lucky to be alive..."

"So he can only be a victim." Dumbledore concluded, "He is a victim pushed to the stage by the organization behind him. He is a smoke bomb set for us and the Ministry of Magic. The organization behind him... we

Let’s call it the ‘Secret Party’, which gives Tiera various contradictory and unreasonable traits, and uses his injuries as smoke bombs to paralyze us or to seek benefits..."

"Evil!" Professor McGonagall was trembling with anger. "It's so evil! You actually take advantage of children!"

After hearing Dumbledore's conclusion, Snape lowered his head and thought for a moment. He felt that the logic was consistent and the conclusion was basically established, and he nodded in agreement.

"So Severus, I have a task for you." Dumbledore said.

"What mission?" Snape asked.

"I need you to help me investigate Gilderoy Lockhart." Dumbledore said, "I think Gilderoy Lockhart is probably also a member of the 'Secret Party', or at least the smoke of the 'Secret Party'

One of the bombs."

"Okay." Snape agreed.

"I want to know every part of his life experience...where he has been, who and what objects he has come into contact with." Dumbledore arranged in an orderly manner, "Especially in the past year, when he suddenly disappeared, I want to know

Where has he been in the past year?"

"Okay." Snape said.

"At the same time, Minerva, I want you to go to the orphanage where Tiera was born." Dumbledore said, "If necessary, I hope you can go to China... You have had issues with the Chinese Ministry of Magic before.

Communication, I’ll leave this matter to you. I saw a couple and a scene in the Mirror of Erised. That should be Tiera’s biological parents and the place where he lived since he was a child... I need you to find that place.

...Find the people in that place, learn about Tiera's past, and learn about his parents' past...if they really exist."

"Albus, what do you mean?" Professor McGonagall asked.

"Some of Tiera's characteristics... and some of her methods of committing crimes... are too familiar... her ability to predict, her strange-colored eyes, and her methods of confusing people... are all too familiar..." Dumbledore said.

, "It's so familiar that I have to guard against it... Maybe one of my old friends is also in this 'secret party'..."

Professor McGonagall's expression changed, and even Snape showed a surprised expression.

"Are you suspicious..." McGonagall asked thoughtfully, "What are you suspicious of? Albus."

"It is impossible for Gellert to come out of Nurmengard." Dumbledore said firmly, "I suspect that Tiera is an artificial life form created by Gellert Grindelwald based on himself."
