Study Days at Hogwarts

Of course, Harry doesn't need the so-called protection now, at least he doesn't think he does.

Before Harry voluntarily stood here, he had the consciousness of facing death.

Isn't it just death?

He, Harry Potter, was not afraid.

All right.

If you say you are not afraid, you must be lying. There is great terror between life and death!

Especially if you can't die immediately.

Waiting for death is undoubtedly the most painful process!

Only then did Albert remind Harry to talk to Dumbledore to make the process less painful.

After all, Dumbledore himself was a man who could face death without changing his expression, and he would definitely be able to help Harry mentally to ensure that nothing went wrong while Harry was waiting.

However, the effect seems... very average.

"We have to die anyway, can't you really let me go to duel with Voldemort in advance?" Harry looked at Albert doubtfully and expressed his doubts, "Things should go smoothly. I don't think there is really any need to break out with the Death Eaters. If there's a big war, a lot of people will die."

"Harry, if you want long-term peace, you must baptize it with blood. With the pain of bloodshed, people will cherish the hard-won peace." Albert looked up at Dumbledore's portrait and said meaningfully, "Although it is ironic, this is the reality. The wish for peace is always beautiful, but the peace obtained by directly sacrificing you, the savior, will not last long, and no one will be grateful to you for it. They will only take your sacrifice for granted. , because you are the so-called hero and the so-called savior."

Harry opened his mouth when he heard the words, probably not expecting to hear these words from Albert's mouth.

"Even if I sacrifice you now to reach a bloodless peace, I will only pay a higher price to solve the problem in the future. I'm right, Dumbledore."

"Anyway, the person who died in the battle was definitely not you."

This was the first time that Phineas heard someone say such a high-sounding thing.

Albert ignored Phineas and stared at Harry and continued: "Those Death Eaters and dark wizards are not dead. Do you think they will give up and let your wife, children and friends go easily?"

"That guy doesn't have a wife or children now." Phineas couldn't help complaining.

Harry looked at Albert with shock on his face, and couldn't help but move his eyes to Dumbledore, trying to ask for help.

"Yes Harry, what Albert said is actually correct in a sense." Dumbledore's portrait was silent for a moment and cast a complicated look at Albert, "You are more sensible than most people. You are also better able to make the most correct choices. In fact, you are very suitable to be the Minister of Magic."

"That position should be more suitable for those guys who like political speculation, playing with power, and using power for personal gain." Albert showed considerable disdain for becoming the Minister of Magic.

"That position is not as unbearable as you said. The person who is unbearable is usually the person sitting in that position."

"Perhaps, we should talk about other topics instead of letting Harry continue to carry this heavy burden that does not belong to him in the first place." Albert cast a dissatisfied look at Dumbledore's portrait, then turned back to Harry and said: " Don't think of yourself as a savior. You are standing here now, willing to face your own death. Isn't it to avenge your parents, to prevent your relatives and friends from being harmed by Voldemort, and to completely end the hatred between you and Voldemort? "

"you're right!"

Harry shrugged, not retorting, not bothering to do so.

Because what Albert said is actually right.

Moreover, he himself was almost dead and didn't bother to bother with these issues.

Harry knew very well that what he should focus on most was how to get Voldemort to die together, and since Albert was the executor of the entire plan, he had better obey the other party's arrangements. Dumbledore could no longer help him in this regard.

"There's no need to be so pessimistic Harry, I've said it before, you may not die, my predictions have always been accurate." Albert guided the next topic. He hoped that Harry would say "I won't Face Voldemort with the belief of "death", because there is great terror between life and death!

It was really difficult for him to ensure that Harry's mentality would not go wrong while waiting.

Albert had experienced it before, but it was only for a moment, and Harry now had to endure the pain.

To be honest, Albert was not willing to bet on whether Harry's will was strong enough.

"You know, I don't really care about that kind of thing," Harry murmured.

"Of course you care. Your and Ginny's child is about to be born. No one wants their child to lose his father after birth." Albert looked at Dumbledore expressionlessly, trembling his lips and threatening: "Don't try Throw all your questions to me, otherwise I wouldn't mind writing some little secrets between you and Grindelwald in your biography."

"When I went to Nurmengard last time, I had a long chat with Grindelwald, and I heard him talk about your past."

The portraits in the principal's office that were sleeping all had particularly wonderful expressions. They probably didn't expect that Albert would threaten Dumbledore with such a thing.

This is so much fun.

"He told you everything?"

Dumbledore was not angry, but rather curious about the conversation between the two.

"When I went to visit him in Nurmengard, Grindelwald had not spoken to anyone for a long time, so I became his best listener." Albert did not intend to reveal this part to others. He was just slightly dissatisfied with Dumbledore, so it was undoubtedly his duty to appease Harry Potter.

"I am already dead!" Dumbledore said softly.

"This is never an excuse." Albert said to the dumbfounded Harry: "If you have any doubts in your mind, just ask. Dumbledore knows more than me, and he actually keeps a lot of secrets from you. "

"Can I really survive?"

Harry hesitated for a moment before asking the question he had been avoiding before.

If possible, no one really wants to die, and Harry is no exception. After all, his and Ginny's child has not yet been born, and Harry doesn't want to abandon Ginny.

At least half of his previous ability to look at death as a matter of fact was an act of pretense.

"Voldemort took your blood and used it to reshape his flesh and blood, causing your blood to flow in his veins. Part of his soul is still attached to you because of the Horcrux."

"This makes your two fates more closely intertwined than any other two wizards in history. To a certain extent, as long as he doesn't die, your life will not end!"

"I thought it was upside down." Harry was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion, "But why didn't you tell me?"

"This is my guess. Although my guesses are generally not far off, before things happen, I don't want to give you those vain hopes. That may make the situation worse."

"So what Albert said was true all along? It seems that the situation is not too bad." The heavy burden that had been weighing on Harry's heart seemed to disappear all of a sudden.

"But why aren't you willing to tell me? Why do you have to make things so complicated?"

"I'm just worried that you will make the same stupid mistake as me." Dumbledore's eyes were full of guilt and helplessness, but Albert obviously did a good job, and he had arranged almost everything.
