The Deep Sea Wizard of Hogwarts

After a while, Lind walked out of Snape's office. In the shadows of the room, Snape stared at him. Until he turned the corner and disappeared.

After that, Snape also walked out of the office, went to the door of Dumbledore's office on the third floor, and walked up. The stone beast rumbled shut behind it.

"Lind took the initiative to use that guy's power today." Snape said as soon as he entered the office.

"What's going on? What's wrong?" Dumbledore was writing a letter when he saw Snape rush in and start talking to himself, his face was serious and as dark as carbon.

"Lind, didn't I get a Boggart today? Then the Boggart turned into him and said he killed Evelin. As a result, Lind lost control."

Thinking about it, he felt that he couldn't describe the situation in detail with his mouth alone, so he directly pulled out the wand and inserted it into the greasy black hair, pressed it against his temple, and pulled out a wisp of silver mist representing memory.

Dumbledore also became serious after hearing this. With a wave of his wand, the pensieve flew from the cabinet to the table. Snape then threw the memory into it.

The silver mist began to flow, and both of them entered this memory.

After a while, Dumbledore looked up, his face serious and confused.

"You see, he has been borrowing that guy's power, and you saw the disorder and chaos of his power. This is not simply powerful or violent. This is a kind of..." Snape was a little uncomfortable. Know how to describe it.

Dumbledore answered for him, "A contamination beyond comprehension. Like the plague." He knew much more about Lind's power.

"Yes!" Snape said first, then fell silent again.

Dumbledore naturally knew what he was thinking, and said calmly, "But he said let us let nature take its course. We should respect his ideas."

"Yes, but I don't understand. Ever since Lind's brother had an accident, he hasn't stopped using that power. He goes to that house every night and doesn't know why." Snape said in confusion. "He will only die faster this way."

Hearing what he said, Dumbledore was a little angry. How did Snape know that Lind went to the Room of Requirement every day? Could it be that he was spying on Linde? "You're taking too much control. We're not his babysitters."

"but……"

"But what? Are you afraid that Lind will die early, which will make your conscience uneasy?" Dumbledore said unceremoniously. "I must warn you, Severus. Lynde is not Harry.

He can be said to be a Slytherin's Slytherin. He has absolute arrogance in his heart. He will only respect people who can convince him. "

Just like my younger self, Dumbledore added mentally.

"That's why he told us to let it be and stay out of Lind's affairs."

"..." Snape was speechless.

After waiting for a while, Snape clenched his fists, stood up unwillingly and was about to leave. When he reached the door, he turned back, "Then if we let nature take its course, it will only be a matter of time before Lind is swallowed up!"

"It is true that no one can solve the blood curse, but before that, shouldn't you and I go all out?" Dumbledore said coldly without raising his head.

"If he is really devoured, then I will take action. I should still have a few years to live." He said lightly, whether he was talking about his own death or the matter of killing Lind.

You have to know how long it has been since Dumbledore took action. Whether it's Grindelwald or Voldemort, he basically lets others act on his behalf.

When these words reached Snape's ears, they were directly equivalent to a death sentence for Lind. He himself had studied a lot of information about blood curses in private, and knew that it was basically impossible to solve this profound black magic in a short time.

He originally thought that it would be good to prolong his life under control, but now he is told to let nature take its course, which is really unacceptable to him.

He pinched the door frame and let out a faint tut before walking out of the office.

After walking out, Dumbledore's originally serious and cold face suddenly relaxed, like an old man in his twilight years.

"Dumbledore, are you really letting things go?" asked the portrait of Phineas Nigellus on the wall. Although Dumbledore just said it very lightly, only these old guys who are on the wall every day know how seriously Dumbledore is studying the blood curse.

Delise Devante, who was also the former principal, was a little angry. Phineas's current problem was somewhat disturbing to the current principal. What they wanted to do was to assist, not influence his decision-making.

"Phineas, you should ask Dumbledore what he wants to do instead of asking this question." Despite this, she also looked at Dumbledore with an inquiring look on her face.

Dumbledore lay weakly on the chair, took off his glasses and rubbed the bridge of his nose, looked out the window, and said somewhat bleakly, "What else can I do? Can I still control him?"

The world belongs to young people, and as a teacher, what you should do is guide, not control. It's like you are assisting me, not influencing me, aren't you! "

"Then..." Phineas wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Delis, "Shut your mouth, or I will go over and beat you up right now."

Dumbledore smiled bitterly and said nothing. In fact, he understood what Phineas wanted to say,

He wanted to say Harry Potter.

Yeah, Harry Potter.

It would be great if Harry didn't have Voldemort's "smell". Then he wouldn't have to guide such a child to do these dangerous things.

But things didn't go as planned. Twelve years ago, when he rushed to the Potter Mansion, he found a strong "smell" of Voldemort on Harry. After many identifications, Dumbledore finally confirmed one thing. Harry became a special Horcrux of Voldemort.

At the same time, he was sure that Voldemort was not dead.

From that moment on, he understood one thing.

Harry must deal with Voldemort. This will not change because he is a child.

How can a child deal with Voldemort! Dumbledore started thinking about it from the day of the twelfth year.

When necessary, he would break his oath and take action himself.

An oath he made with Grindelwald: If he attacks others. After exactly one year, he must die.

So he began to slowly guide Harry last year. While there is still time, Lily cast a very strong protective spell for him to protect him until adulthood. So he wanted to make Harry stronger little by little during this time.

Thinking about it, he took out a notebook from the drawer. This was Tom Riddle's diary that Lind gave him. It was also one of Voldemort's Horcruxes. Of course, it has been destroyed by him now.

"If Lind heard his bloodline theory, he would definitely sneer at it!" Dumbledore thought.

"How can a person with a strong heart and pride be proud of his bloodline." Dumbledore smiled and shook his head.

There are only two people in the world who can make him break his oath.

Voldemort and Lind, or the guy in Lind's body.

Not only because the guy in Lind's body is weird and powerful. But also because he respects Lind. Respect for this person who is almost a century younger than himself.

He loves every child in the school, especially two of them.

One is Harry. He is obviously just a child, but because he became Voldemort's Horcrux, he has to bear a fateful grudge since he was born.

He feels that he owes Harry. In the future, he will always put Harry's life above his own on the road to fighting Voldemort.

The other is Lind. In many conversations, Dumbledore saw his former self in him, and he liked this child very much. This is a "kind" that he rarely sees except Grindelwald. From a spiritual level, he thinks that he and Lind are equal, so he respects them.

If Lind is really swallowed in the future, he is willing to break his oath, sacrifice his life, and do it himself.

For these two children, he is willing to sacrifice his life.

When Harry fights Voldemort, he will always protect him all the way, even at the cost of his life.

If Lind is swallowed by the blood curse in the future, he is willing to break his oath and avenge him.

Thinking of this, Dumbledore came to the window and looked at the starry sky outside. His waist, which was always straight in front of outsiders, was also a little hunched.

"I'm just an old man who is dying!"

Dumbledore said in a low voice. He thought back to the night when he made an oath on the high tower of Nurmengard.

————————

"The contract is very simple: I will stay here honestly and voluntarily, and you will never take the initiative to hurt others. Otherwise, you will die in a year, and you will definitely die." Grindelwald said.

Then Grindelwald looked at him with a smile. "Albus, look how good I am to you. As long as you hurt someone, I will let you die in a year."

At that time, Dumbledore, whose hairline had moved back a little, but was still neatly combed, said, "You are not kind at all! You just made me feel endless despair and regret in the year after the attack, and tortured me!"

"So what. I won't go out and continue to harm the world. You, the strongest wizard in the world, should have some restrictions. Otherwise, what if you become the second me? This world can't bear the third world war." Grindelwald looked as if it was a matter of course.

"Haha, I'm not you!" Dumbledore looked at the man opposite him. Although he was a prisoner, he didn't look like a prisoner at all. It was as if this prison was his warm home.

Grindelwald, if he didn't make a vow, who could lock him up!

————————

Dumbledore came back to his senses and saw Hagrid and Fang starting today's patrol at the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

"Gellert, your brothers died one after another for your ideals at the hands of the International Confederation of Wizards.

... Didn't you understand at that time that some things are more important than life?"
