Just a Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor

"I have doubted his words, and I know very well that not all predictions can become established facts. If people need me to stand up, then I will stand up."

Dumbledore said calmly.

"I have found him many times. He is very powerful. There is almost no one in the entire magic world who is more powerful than him. Even I dare not say that I am stronger than him. But in a real life-and-death battle, I was still able to narrowly win, and almost killed him three times.”

"Maybe it really is fate. Every time when I feel that I am about to succeed, the strange feeling will suddenly come to me and tell me, "You can't kill his Albus, you can't kill him." "Tom never showed any cowardice before he was about to die. I knew that he was obviously so afraid of death, but there was only sarcasm in his eyes when he looked at me, which was a sarcasm that made me feel scared. ”

"His eyes are telling me that he knows very well that no matter how strong I am, I can't kill him, but every time I fight with him, my health will get worse and worse. He is proficient in all kinds of things. This kind of black magic, there are many unscrupulous curses that have no solution at all. Once you are contaminated, you are destined to bear it for a lifetime. The longer I stay entangled with him, I will only lose my last bit of ability to intimidate him. "

There was not much resentment or unwillingness in Dumbledore's tone, just a touch of regret.

"From that time on, I noticed Tom's specialness. When he was studying at Hogwarts, he had been asking about the magic of immortality from various professors. Obviously, he had achieved a lot of results, or rather His request was fully met.”

"I hadn't thought about Horcruxes at that time. There don't seem to be many correct or evil magics in the magical world that can prevent people from death, but in fact, the ones that really exist are very secretive. With Tom's talent, he can do it on his own. I’m not even surprised that such a magic was created.”

"So I gave up the plan of trying to kill him personally, and instead studied what kind of magic he had mastered that allowed him to be so reliable."

"I didn't tell anyone about these things, and only a few people in the Order of the Phoenix knew about it. And after Tom was sure that I really had nothing to do with him, he became more and more unscrupulous. It was at this time that your mother, Sarah, Li found me privately."

"At that time, she was one of the few people who knew the inside story. She told me that she had made breakthrough research on soul magic, and she might have a chance to successfully kill him!"

"After all, most of the magic about immortality only works on the body, and very few have direct effects on the soul. Even if it does, once there is a problem on the soul level, it will cause irreversible damage."

"Your mother's talent in soul magic is the highest among the wizards I have ever seen. After listening to her detailed preparations, I feel that this plan is completely feasible, but the only problem is that if something unexpected happens, It’s basically impossible for Sally to come back.”

"At that time, your family had just started to live a normal life. Your father had a prominent Muggle family background. In order to be with Sally, he went against his parents' decision and ran away privately. You were just two years old. She is so old, if something happens to her, then this beautiful family will be completely destroyed."

"I confirmed with her many times and persuaded her to replace this person with me. I am a bad old man. Even if there is an accident, it will not be a big deal in the end. Being able to drag Tom to die with me is considered a blessing to the world. The last thing to do.”

"But Sally had already made up her mind at that time. She had created the magic, and she was the most suitable caster. And if something happened later and Tom was not killed because of it, then I would also I can still be the last resort of the magic world and think of other ways."

"I finally agreed to her request and created an opportunity for her to make this attempt. Her only request was that she did not want this matter to involve your father and you."

Sherlock held his breath, he could already guess what happened next.

"In order to protect your father, she changed his memory and made your father think that she had bewitched him with witchcraft, deceived him, and made him hate herself and all witches."

Dumbledore said softly.

"On the day your father left, she secretly cried all night. She never said anything like this in front of me, but I know that she actually hated herself very much and hated that she was not a good wife or a good wife. Good mother."

"But some things have to be done by someone. No one's life can be easily thrown away, and no one's family can be easily broken up. She believes that since she has the ability, she should do it by herself instead of hiding behind , waiting for others to go through life and death.”

"Only I know what she wants to do, but there are many people who know what she is going to do. She only has one request before she leaves, and that is, no matter what the outcome, she hopes that we can protect you," she said The only motherly duty she can fulfill is to resolve the matter while she is still alive so that it will not continue until you grow up."

"Then she cleared all the memories of you and your father from her mind, and with the help of the opportunity we created for her, she entered the Death Eaters and got close to Tom."

Sherlock took a deep breath.

"As a result, she failed?"

Dumbledore had an inexplicable expression on his face.

"In the eyes of others, she failed. Tom did not change at all and continued to act recklessly in the magic world. However, I know the specific effect of her magic. Later, I saw Tom again with my own eyes. Although he did not seem to have changed, I could see that your mother's plan worked."

"It was at that time that I finally discovered that the immortal magic he relied on was actually a Horcrux. The soul was split, and as long as there was a Horcrux, his main soul could be reborn no matter what damage it suffered. Even the killing curse that directly targeted the death of the soul level could not kill him."

"But your mother should have discovered this at the time. She had the opportunity to kill Tom directly from the soul level once, but she knew that even if she killed him like this, it would be meaningless, and Tom could still be resurrected again."

"So she should have chosen another method and hid in Tom's main soul!"
