This was really an open and honest conversation. Dumbledore had high expectations of Elwyn.
Of course, if he did not tell Elwyn about the changes in his heart, he might feel better.
Dumbledore's desire for control was too strong. Everything he did in the second half of his life was to serve this so-called plan.
The ultimate goal of this plan was to get rid of Lord Voldemort. Everything and everyone that affected the plan should be erased.
"In general, because of Elwyn's arrival, many things changed. At that time, including me, perhaps no one really realized how big the impact and changes were. That year, everything developed according to my expectations. However, Harry, you never asked me why Lord Voldemort left that mark on you. We were discussing your scar. Even though we were getting closer to the main topic, why didn't I tell you everything? "
"It's like this. In my opinion, when it comes to accepting such things, after all, a twelve-year-old is not much better than an eleven-year-old. I let you go. At that time, you were covered in blood and exhausted, but you were very happy and excited. You and Elwyn defeated the snake monster and Riddle, and saved Ron. Even though I felt a little guilty at that time and felt that maybe I should have told you earlier, this guilt quickly subsided. You are still too young. You know, I can't let myself destroy the atmosphere of victory that night. "
"Moreover, I still have a lot of things to do. But have you realized it now, Harry? Do you now see the flaw in my brilliant plan? Let's not talk about the changes brought about by Elwyn's change in history. Just simply facing Lord Voldemort, I have already fallen into the trap that I had foreseen. But I once told myself that I can avoid it, and I must avoid it. "
"I still don't quite understand!" Harry said.
"I was too worried about you!" Dumbledore said bluntly, "Compared to letting you know the truth, I care more about your happiness and happiness. Compared to my plan, I care more about your peace of mind. Compared to the sacrifice I have to make if my plan fails, I care more about your life. In other words, the Lord Voldemort expects us fools to do what we like, and what I'm doing is exactly what he wants. "
"Is there any way to defend against it? I don't want anyone else to watch you like I do. You can't imagine how closely I watch you. I don't want you to suffer any more. What I am concerned about is whether there will be some unknown people and creatures who have never shown their faces being killed in the uncertain future. Here, at this moment, is your life safe? Are you living well? Are you happy? I never thought I would hold someone in the palm of my hand like this. "
"Because I was too worried, it was easy to make mistakes. But I soon realized that Elwyn could indeed perfectly replace me. He could help you with his identity, and it wouldn't be easy to attract the attention of others. Of course, he still needed time to grow, and I also needed time to verify my ideas. "
"Just like that, we entered your third year. In fact, when you discovered Sirius, learned what kind of person he was, and rescued him, when you fought off the Dementors, when you did what you did for Remus' werewolf identity, and when you chased after Peter, I was watching you from afar."
"These were my tests for you. There were many things. For example, I might have noticed that Ron's Rat Spots was acting strangely. I knew what this meant, but I didn't take action. Instead, I chose to wait and see. I am very satisfied with your performance. My ideas have been verified. Elwyn is trustworthy."
So that was it. Dumbledore's explanation explained a lot of things, and it also solved the doubts in Elwyn's heart.
Many things that didn't make sense at that time could be explained now, because this was originally a test for Dumbledore.
It wasn't that he didn't discover Peter, but he deliberately kept it as a test for Elwyn and Harry …
Especially Elwyn. In that year, his actions were closely monitored by Dumbledore.
The snake monster incident last year and the incident from a thousand years ago had already attracted Dumbledore's attention.
Dumbledore had to be careful when faced with an unexpected change in speed.
He had to decide whether to include Elwyn in his plan, or to deal with this variable in advance.
"I'm very satisfied with your performance, but the changes are getting bigger and bigger. The ruins left behind by Gryffindor and Slytherin, the appearance of the ancient Evil God, and the curse of the Lord Voldemort, all of these have disrupted my plan." Dumbledore said, "I gradually realized that compared to the four founders, my plan was insignificant. It was just a part of their huge and complicated plan. Everyone and everything was given a new meaning. A new plan was born, and we have to complete it, because only then can we protect the Hogwarts, protect the people and things we want to protect, and even the entire magical world. "
"The changes are getting bigger and bigger, but many things are still the same. Elwyn will not replace me to carry out my original plan. He wants to complete the mission left behind by the four founders of the Hogwarts, to find the secret treasure, and to defeat the Evil God. As for you, Harry, the Lord Voldemort is still your opponent, from the beginning to the end … "
"I still don't quite understand, why must the Lord Voldemort be my opponent?"
"It's this prophecy." Dumbledore said, holding the prophecy ball in his hand, "The reason why the Lord Voldemort wanted to kill you when you were still a baby, is all because of a prophecy shortly before you were born. Although he did not fully understand the content of the prophecy, he knew that there was such a prophecy. So when you were still a baby, he wanted to kill you, he believed that by doing so, he was fulfilling the things stated in the prophecy. He tried to use a spell to kill you in a shameful rage, and paid a heavy price for it, only after he realized that he was wrong. So since he returned to his own body, he made up his mind to hear the full content of the prophecy. This is the weapon he has been working hard to find since he came back: a way to get rid of you. "
At this time, the sun had completely risen. Dumbledore's office was bathed in sunlight, and the glass container containing Gryffindor's sword was faintly glowing. Behind them, the phoenix fledgling was murmuring in its ash-covered nest.
"What is this prophecy?"
"I will tell you. Compared to using the prophecy ball, we have a more intuitive way to reproduce this prophecy," Dumbledore said, sighing softly. Dumbledore said, sighing softly. "I heard the prophecy in this orb, and it is I who preserved it in the Mysteries."
Harry looked at him in surprise, and then at Dumbledore in disbelief. This prophecy ball was made by him!
