The Alchemist of Harry Potter
Chapter 1,238 That’s a trap
Waiting, waiting, and continuing to wait patiently, Harry felt that he was gradually losing his patience.
After receiving that important memory from Professor Slughorn, Harry only made a temporary trip back to the Gryffindor common room. After sharing the good news with Ron and Hermione, he stayed directly in the principal's office. Waiting for Dumbledore to return.
However, Harry did not expect that he would face a long wait.
From morning to noon, from noon to afternoon, Dumbledore still did not return to Hogwarts, as if the memory he had gained was insignificant.
During Professor McGonagall's time, she came to the principal's office again and told Harry about Professor Slughorn's situation. The effect of the Veritaserum on the poor Potions Professor has been successfully removed, and apart from being a little frightened, he was not seriously injured.
Harry was not surprised that Snape had the antidote to Veritaserum. Narcissa probably got the Veritaserum from Snape.
The whole thing was a bit of a coincidence.
If Snape was Dumbledore's man through and through, Harry could not help but suspect that this was a plot designed by Dumbledore and Snape to have Narcissa use Veritaserum to interrogate Slughorn about the whereabouts of the Elixir , and then allow myself to successfully pick up the leak and complete this almost impossible task.
It's no wonder that Harry has this idea. In Albert's words: There have never been so many coincidences in this world.
It's a pity that Dumbledore and Snape are not on the same side at all, otherwise Slughorn would probably have fainted in the toilet from crying.
After walking around the office for an unknown number of times, ignoring the dissatisfied complaints from Phineas's portrait, Harry sat back in the armchair and searched for the whereabouts of Malfoy with the Marauder's Map. He always felt that the guy was brewing something. What a conspiracy.
At least, while taking the Felixir, Harry's intuition told him that there was something wrong with Malfoy, and that he might take action in the near future.
Whether it was in the Slytherin common room, near the Room of Requirement, or even in the library, Harry could not find Malfoy.
"That guy is probably still in the Room of Requirement, but what is he doing in there?" Before Harry came to the principal's office, he tried to enter the Room of Requirement, but it was obvious that someone was inside, and he couldn't get in at all.
"You seem to be very prejudiced against the student named Malfoy." Phineas continued, "Because of the grudge between you, you doubt him..."
"If Draco Malfoy's father Lucius was not a Death Eater, his mother Narcissa had not just broken into Hogwarts to steal the elixir, and he himself had not joined the Death Eaters, I would naturally not I think there's something wrong with him." Harry turned to look at the portrait of Phineas on the wall and sneered, "Honestly, I don't think there are a few Death Eaters who deserve sympathy. If they all deserve sympathy, then they Who should sympathize with the Muggles who were killed? Do you think it is up to you to sympathize with those Muggles who died innocently and tragically?"
Harry ignored Phineas and picked up the newspaper from his desk that he had read countless times.
He suspected Dumbledore was in Azkaban.
Perhaps a fierce battle had just occurred in Azkaban, where Dumbledore was preventing Voldemort from escaping the prison. ….
Maybe Dumbledore was injured in the battle with Voldemort and is recovering...
No, at Dumbledore's level, there were very few people who could hurt him.
But when he thought of Dumbledore's necrotic hand, Harry couldn't help but worry.
Just when Harry's thoughts began to drift away, he suddenly heard footsteps outside the office. He suddenly jumped up from his chair and looked at the entrance of the principal's office expectantly.
I saw a familiar figure pushing open the door and walking into the office.
"Harry!"
The old man seemed very surprised to see Harry in his office.
"Sir, you are finally back." Harry walked forward excitedly, reached into his robe pocket and took out a small glass bottle, handed it to Dumbledore like a treasure, and said, "I got Slughorn's memory. Already."
"That's great, Harry, I knew you could do it!"
Dumbledore was stunned
For a moment, a smile broke out on his face.
He took the glass bottle containing Slughorn's memory and strode to the cabinet where the Pensieve was placed. After moving the Pensieve inside to his desk, he immediately poured the memories in the glass bottle into the basin.
"Now, we can finally see the hidden truth. Harry, you go first..." Dumbledore actually looked a little excited.
After Harry stuck his head into the pensieve, he finally saw the memory of Slughorn that he didn't want others to know. Just as Dumbledore guessed, Slughorn did tell Voldemort to pass Killing people can split one's soul, and the secret about Horcruxes that can make people immortal.
After learning the news that Voldemort was resurrected, Professor Slughorn realized the great harm he might have caused that day, so he hid this memory. Not only was he ashamed of the mistakes he had made, but he was also afraid Being remembered by Voldemort.
A man who knew Voldemort's secrets would not live long.
However, this memory still helped Dumbledore a lot, because in the conversation with Professor Slughorn, Tom Riddle apparently mentioned the crazy idea of dividing the soul into seven parts.
The reason is that seven is the most magical number and can enhance Voldemort's power.
"So, Albert's prediction is true." Harry said suddenly.
"Yes, this memory does prove that Voldemort did split his soul, and also tried to split his soul into seven parts." Dumbledore seemed to be in a very happy mood.
"So, now we only need to find the last two Horcruxes to completely kill Voldemort." Harry was in a good mood as well. The depression of waiting was swept away. There was nothing worse than watching Voldemort die. It made him more happy.
"Yes Harry." Dumbledore nodded. "The remaining Horcruxes are probably Hufflepuff's golden cup and Ravenclaw's diadem."
"Professor, when will you take me to find Horcruxes?" Harry asked excitedly, "If we can destroy one more, then Voldemort will not be far from finished."
"I'm afraid we have to wait a while longer. I'm still gathering intelligence, and now is not the time." Dumbledore did not tell Harry that the cave he had previously suspected might contain Horcruxes probably no longer contained Horcruxes. After all, it was strange for Slytherin's locket to show up at Black's house, and as he said, it wasn't the right time. ….
"Oh fine."
Harry was quite disappointed by this, but he seemed to remember something and suddenly said: "By the way, Professor, did Professor McGonagall tell you about Professor Slughorn being attacked in school?"
"I already know about this. Professor Slughorn is fine. He was just a little frightened. Madam Pomfrey said that he can be discharged after resting in the school hospital for one night." Dumbledore seemed to be concerned about this matter. Not too concerned about things.
"I blocked the attacker when he was about to leave. I thought this might have something to do with the good luck brought by Felixir. Although the man used the compound potion to disguise himself as Pansy Parkinson, I could The attacker was identified as Narcissa Malfoy, and her real name can be seen on the Marauder's Map.
"I think Narcissa Malfoy broke into Hogwarts and attacked Professor Slughorn for the elixir." Harry rambled on about his analysis. "Listen to Sirius, Narcissa and Bella Searching for Felixir all over Europe, and being wanted for murdering the pharmacist, I think they are probably..."
"I already know about this Harry." Dumbledore finally interrupted Harry's rapid-fire speech and said calmly, "I think you are probably tired too. Go back and rest first, and your friends should I’m also waiting for you to go back and share the good news with them.”
"No, sir, I have a hunch that Draco Malfoy wants to do something. They must have a big conspiracy..."
"That's damned prejudice," Phineas said lazily.
"This is not prejudice, this is the intuition I gained after taking Felixir. I think it can't be wrong. There are also newspapers saying that Voldemort plans to go to Azkaban to break prison..." Harry glared at Finny fiercely. Yas glanced at it and immediately took his own
Discoveries and guesses come out.
There was something strange about Narcissa Malfoy's intrusion into Hogwarts, and he thought it was a bad omen.
"Don't worry Harry, I just came back from Azkaban. Scrimgeour and the Aurors have already laid out heavy protection and traps in Azkaban." Dumbledore comforted softly, "As for Hogwart On Ci’s side, I don’t think anyone could cause a stir while I was in school.”
These confident words left Harry speechless for a moment.
Although Harry did not think that the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic could stop Voldemort from escaping the prison, with Dumbledore at Hogwarts, it was indeed difficult for anyone to stir up trouble. Even if Malfoy had prepared some evil plot, Dumbledore would I'm afraid it looks like a joke in front of Lido.
"What if they took Felixir? I mean..." A possibility suddenly appeared in Harry's mind, and he looked at Dumbledore suspiciously.
This whole thing is indeed weird. Could it be a trap set by them?
It is possible that Albert predicted Malfoy's conspiracy in advance, and then teamed up with Dumbledore to plan a one-shot deal. This possibility does not seem impossible.
After all, that guy liked to do this kind of thing, and even used similar methods to trap a bunch of Death Eaters and dark wizards to death with the help of the Ministry of Magic.
"Harry, I don't think anyone can threaten the safety of Hogwarts students in my presence." Dumbledore said calmly, but Harry could tell that he didn't want to talk about this topic. ….
"Sir, I can feel that this is definitely a conspiracy."
Harry was silent for a moment, but he still spoke his mind, "Maybe, this was intentional by Albert, or there are other reasons. Although I don't know what role Malfoy and his son played in this, I want to estimate There is no conspiracy that can be hidden from Albert and you..."
"You think too highly of me." Dumbledore suddenly interrupted.
"If you can, please tell me everything you can tell me. I think I can withstand the pressure. When I decided to defeat Voldemort, I was already mentally prepared." Harry looked at Dumbledore "Honestly, I don't want to look like a fool," he said.
"There are not so many coincidences in the world. If there are many coincidences, it must not be a coincidence." Harry moved his eyes away and looked at the newspaper on the table and said, "This is what Albert told me. I think it's not a coincidence." This makes perfect sense."
Dumbledore looked deeply at Harry, and he realized that this was the boy's protest and dissatisfaction with his concealment. Harry was far better than he thought, and he discovered a lot of things just through some clues, which made Dumbledore extremely gratified.
He knew that Harry had been preparing silently.
"Harry..."
Before Dumbledore could speak, a green light suddenly flashed outside the window, instantly catching their attention.
"what is that?"
Harry and Dumbledore walked towards the window of the principal's office and looked up at the familiar skull floating in the night sky. A large python emerged from the skull's mouth.
"The Dark Mark, why is there a Dark Mark in Hogwarts?" Harry couldn't help but widen his eyes, and he suddenly thought of a possibility.
This was done by Draco Malfoy, this was his conspiracy.
"I don't know, but I don't think it's a prank."
Dumbledore looked at the Dark Mark that appeared on the astronomy tower, turned his head and said to the portrait on the wall: "Phineas, please inform Sirius and ask him to summon people from the Order of the Phoenix to reinforce Hogwarts. Magic I’m afraid there’s no hope for the ministry.”
"Harry, I want you to return to the Gryffindor common room." Dumbledore turned to Harry.
"I can fight without Professor."
After noticing Dumbledore's gaze, Harry quickly changed his words and said, "At least, I can definitely do something."
"You want you to put on the invisibility cloak, find Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com and then alert other professors that Death Eaters may have broken into the school and ask them to go to the observatory." Dumbledore quickly made arrangements.
Phoenix blessing
X chirped, spread his wings and flew towards Dumbledore.
"Professor, this must be a trap." Harry took out the elixir from his pocket, threw one into his mouth, and handed the bottle to Dumbledore.
"Remember Harry, go find other professors. It will be much more useful than going alone." After saying that, Dumbledore reached out and grabbed Fawkes' paw, and disappeared into a ball of flame.
"Damn it!"
Looking at the place where Dumbledore disappeared, Harry clenched his fists unwillingly, but he knew very well that the past could only cause trouble for Dumbledore. Therefore, after he pulled out his wand and used the Disillusionment Charm on himself, he hurried to the Charms Office on the eighth floor, preparing to wake up Professor Flitwick first. This former duel champion would definitely be able to help Dumbledore. .
