"You've done very well. We all know that Lord Voldemort won't succeed!" Dumbledore said. "Whether it's the Soul Vessel or transforming himself into an evil dark creature, the black magic left by Halbo will only push his soul to the point of no return. He thought he had gained great power and conquered death, but in fact, he's becoming weaker and weaker."
"The memories we've seen before all prove this point. When Lord Voldemort is no longer Tom Riddle and no longer good at deceiving people, what's there to be afraid of? Yes, he looks stronger, but the price he has to pay is that his soul is extremely unstable. He claims to be invincible and immortal, but every time he kills, he's one step closer to destruction. Twenty years ago, when he finally attempted to commit those terrible crimes, such as murdering Jaime and Lily and trying to kill a child, his soul was split. It's funny, isn't it? We didn't even need to do anything. The so-called strongest black wizard in history was defeated just like that. "
"But I thought it was because of Harry's mother's magic," Elwyn said.
"The Amulet of Sacrifice left by Lily did work, but it's not just magic. There's also love. The thing that really reflected the curse and defeated Lord Voldemort was Lily's love for Harry. It's a power that surpasses any magic," Dumbledore said kindly.
"Love?" Elwyn murmured. "You've said that before, but I don't understand. How can love defeat Lord Voldemort? Especially now that the situation has become more complicated. Professor, compared to illusory love, what we need is more practical help. "
"Love is not illusory, Elwyn. Although we can't see it, this kind of power really exists. This is a field of magic that no one knows about and no one has ever stepped into. At least, I think so." As Dumbledore spoke, he turned his eyes to the red runes in front of him. "Lord Voldemort didn't understand this. The dark wizards represented by Hylbo and the ancient sorcerers of the previous magic era didn't understand this either. They spent their whole lives in pursuit of power and relied on magic to conquer everything, but the final result was destruction. Hylbo had been imprisoned and sealed for a long time. For him, not dying was more like a punishment. The ancient warlocks had attracted the attention of the dark creatures in the void. Their arrival had destroyed an era of magic, and the war had not ended yet. These were all punishments for them. Please believe me, if the Lord Voldemort really used that magic, his fate would be even worse. "
"But how can we defeat Lord Voldemort with love?"
"You already have the answer, don't you?" Dumbledore asked.
"I'm not sure!" Elwyn said. "If you mean the connection between him and Harry, I know something about it …"
Dumbledore smiled and signaled him to continue.
"Twenty years ago, on the night Lord Voldemort failed, his unstable soul split again, and a part of his soul stayed in Harry's body. So Harry is also a soul device, and he has a connection with the Lord Voldemort." Elwyn said, "But the Lord Voldemort didn't know about this. No, he knew that there was a power protecting Harry, so he couldn't hurt Harry. So when he came back to life, he took Harry's blood. He hoped to get the protection power that Harry's mother left in his blood."
"Generally speaking, when the target of the protection spell becomes the target of protection, it means that the protection spell has lost its effect." Dumbledore said with interest. "He tried to break Lily's Sacrificial Charm in this way. It was very clever."
"But the Lord Voldemort didn't break the magic of Harry's mother. Instead, he made the connection between him and Harry closer."
"It's closer than the connection between any two wizards in history." Dumbledore added, "The Lord Voldemort personally strengthened this double connection. As I've always said, he knows nothing about love, and he can never understand this power. He never spends time to understand things that he doesn't value. The Lord Voldemort knows nothing about house-elves and fairy tales, about love, loyalty, innocence, and so on. If he knew the terrible power of the Sacrificial Charm, maybe he wouldn't dare to touch Harry's blood!"
"Well, if this is the power of love, it's indeed very powerful!" Elwyn admitted. "Under the protection of this power, the Lord Voldemort can't kill Harry, and he can't even touch him. But this alone can't defeat the Lord Voldemort. After Harry turned seventeen, the power of the Sacrificial Charm left by his mother completely lost its effect. The power of love is gone! "
"No, no, no, Elwyn, the power of love will always exist. As long as you understand love, have someone you want to love, or something you want to protect, it will always exist and be integrated into your magic."
"But these can't defeat the Lord Voldemort!" Elwyn raised his voice and retorted. "After you left, no wizard can defeat him. Do you want him to fail again when he tries to kill Harry like he did 20 years ago?"
"It's not impossible!"
"That's impossible. When Harry doesn't have the protection of the Sacrificial Charm, how can he defeat the Lord Voldemort?" Elwyn snorted. "We all know that the next time the Lord Voldemort makes a move, he will really kill Harry."
The smile on Dumbledore's face disappeared. Elwyn stared at him and continued, "Of course, when the Lord Voldemort kills Harry, he will destroy the soul in his body with his own hands. But the Lord Voldemort doesn't care at all. After obtaining the black magic of Harry, he no longer cares about his unstable soul. There are pieces of his soul in the statue of the evil god and Ron's body.
"… If he wants to use the black magic left by Harry, he needs to maintain the stability of his soul as much as possible. He will need to retrieve all the soul fragments that are still in existence." Dumbledore said slowly, "It's very important to maintain the complete state of the soul. Regardless of whether we destroy the remaining soul fragments or not, Harry will be the last soul fragment."
"So, after he kills Harry, we can swarm up and kill the Lord Voldemort? Is that your plan? "
"First of all, I don't think that Harry is afraid of death. On this point, he is braver than many people. Moreover, he has proven himself many times. He is the real Gryffindor." Dumbledore said, "Secondly, I don't think the Lord Voldemort will really kill Harry. Although I do think he will do so, the only thing that will be destroyed is the fragment of the Lord Voldemort's own soul."
"But what if the Lord Voldemort doesn't do so and directly uses the magic left by Harry?" Elwyn asked. "Or he does, but we have no way to defeat him and let him use the magic successfully …"
