Elwyn was aware of Harry's resentment towards Dumbledore. This was a personal grudge between the two of them.
He did not intervene in the conversation, but instead looked at the Phoenix Fawkes with great interest, allowing Harry and Dumbledore to communicate.
Harry's resentment towards Dumbledore had made his emotions very unstable, and this resentment had reached its peak during last summer vacation.
When Elwyn and Hermione returned from their trip to Egypt, they had thought that Harry would welcome them as he had done in previous years, and then happily leave the Dursleys' home to visit Elwyn or Ron's home to share their summer vacation experiences and discuss holiday homework.
However, what they saw was a hot-tempered Harry.
For the entire summer vacation, he had been isolated in the Dursleys' home alone, unable to contact the outside world. He did not know the slightest news about Lord Voldemort, so he was filled with anger. The Soul Catcher's attack and his trial at the Ministry of Magic had ignited this anger.
Therefore, the first thing he did after arriving at 12 Grimmauld Square was to fiercely quarrel with Elwyn, Ron, and Hermione to vent the anger in his heart. Although Harry later apologized for this matter, his emotions had not stabilized until the battle between the Order of the Phoenix and Lord Voldemort at the Ministry of Magic. He became more and more accustomed to acting alone, and even now, Harry still retained some of the habits he had developed at that time, which were very different from before.
Elwyn, who had participated in the conversation at school, was clear that before that, Harry had not forgiven Dumbledore, but had instead resented him.
Although he had never told anyone about it, many signs could still be seen.
Dumbledore himself had probably noticed it, and later attributed this matter to the influence of Lord Voldemort's soul on Harry.
Therefore, the measure he took was to stay as far away from Harry as possible and not meet him.
Although this delayed the outbreak of the problem, it did not solve the problem at all. On the contrary, it greatly aggravated the problem, allowing Harry and Lord Voldemort to communicate more easily and frequently. For a period of time, they could easily enter each other's souls.
At first, the Lord Voldemort did not notice the connection between him and Harry. It was mainly because Harry had entered his soul and obtained a lot of important information. He even knew that the Lord Voldemort was preparing to use magic left behind by ancient Magi to repair the Demon God statue!
After that brief encounter in Norway, the Lord Voldemort finally confirmed the connection between him and Harry.
At that time, he had become very weak due to the repair of the Demon God statue, and the situation was very disadvantageous for him. However, in the battle with Dumbledore, the Lord Voldemort easily controlled Harry and distracted Dumbledore, giving him the opportunity to escape with the Demon God statue.
Although Dumbledore later said that the Lord Voldemort did not understand the true meaning of the connection between him and Harry.
But there was no doubt that the incident made him see an opportunity.
For more than half of the following semester, the Lord Voldemort tried to control Harry, trying to influence him through the soul connection.
He thought that he could obtain information about Dumbledore or the Order of the Phoenix through Harry. He mentioned doing many things, such as going to the Ministry of Magic to get the Prophecy Orb. This way, he could avoid the risk of exposure and personally appear to do such things.
If everything went well, he could also control Harry to kill Dumbledore.
Aware of this, Dumbledore became more and more worried about Harry's condition.
He was afraid that Harry would be harmed under the control of the Lord Voldemort, but there was no good way. In the end, he had to stick to the previous plan and try to stay as far away from Harry as possible so as not to provoke the Lord Voldemort. He also let Harry learn Occlusion from Snape.
These measures later proved to be of little use.
On the night when the Lord Voldemort confirmed that Dumbledore was not in England and decided to act, he let Harry see a false illusion to lure Harry to the Ministry of Magic to get the Prophecy Orb. The Prophecy Orb was very important, but it was not convenient for the Lord Voldemort to get it in person.
That night, even without Lucius Malfoy, Harry would eventually go to the Ministry of Magic.
If things went wrong, he would gather the members of the D.A., and at that time, the ambush of the Order of the Phoenix would become a rescue operation.
Fighting with the Death Eaters and also having to protect the other little wizards, it was very likely that accidents would happen...
Although the outcome was not bad, the process was very dangerous.
The most fortunate thing, and also the thing that made Dumbledore truly relieved, was that the battle at the Ministry of Magic made the Lord Voldemort finally realize how dangerous it was for him to enter Harry's soul to control Harry. The benefits he obtained were far less than the protection magic left in Harry's blood by Lily.
Just like what happened to Harry in his first year, he only had to touch Quirrell, who wanted to be possessed by the Lord Voldemort, and Quirrell's body immediately began to collapse.
In addition to the fact that Quirrell was indeed preparing to hurt Harry and activated the magic in Harry's blood, Elwyn felt that the Lord Voldemort had used Quirrell's body to drink the unicorn's blood for an entire semester, which played a considerable role at that time.
Everyone knew that the unicorn's blood was extremely sacred, and the soul of this creature was also noble and pure.
If a dirty soul drank its blood, it would suffer an unimaginable fate of being cursed.
The Lord Voldemort could rely on his evil magic to escape these punishments, or simply transfer the curse to Quirrell, letting him accept the punishment and bear the unicorn's curse. Perhaps, this was the main reason why Quirrell's body finally collapsed.
The topic returned to Harry. Even after that open and honest conversation, Harry still held a grudge against Dumbledore.
This was obvious. Although Dumbledore promised to tell Harry everything, apart from the prophecy, he did not let Harry join the operation of the Order of the Phoenix for a long time, nor did he tell Harry anything.
While the prophecy solved some of the mysteries, it also made Harry feel more pressure.
In particular, Dumbledore said that in July of that year, two babies were born, and they both met the conditions of the prophecy. One was him, and the other was Neville. If the Lord Voldemort did not choose him at that time, perhaps everything would be different now.
