Dumbledore's memory was complete, but for Harry, there were too many doubts.
When they broke away from the memory, Harry expressed a novel opinion.
Regarding this, Dumbledore expressed that it was normal.
"You heard it yourself. For such a young Wizard, his abilities are amazingly complete and mature. The most interesting and ominous thing is that he has found that he can control these abilities to some extent and use them consciously.
As you can see, he is not like the typical young Wizard who does random experiments.
He is already using magic against others, using magic to frighten, punish, and control others.
The story of the rabbit that was hanged to death and the boy and girl that he tricked into the cave was very telling.
He can hurt them if he wants to. "
"He also speaks like a snake."
"Yes, a rare ability. It is said to be related to black magic, but we know that even the great and good Wizard speaks like a snake.
In fact, his ability to talk to snakes does not bother me. What worries me is the cruel, secretive, and domineering nature that he clearly displays. "
The conversation ended there. Harry wanted to say something, but there was no chance.
"Time is playing tricks on us again." Dumbledore pointed to the dark sky outside the window and said, "But before we part ways, I want you to pay attention to some things in the scene we just witnessed. They are closely related to the issues we will discuss together in the future.
"First of all, I think you must have noticed how Liddell reacted when I mentioned that someone had the same name as him, 'Tom'?"
Harry nodded.
"It shows his contempt for anything that binds him to other people, for anything that makes him seem ordinary. Even at that time, he wanted to be different, proud, independent, and famous.
You know, just a few years after that conversation, he abandoned his name, created the mask of 'Voldemort', and hid behind it for so long.
I believe you also noticed that Tom Liddell was extremely confident, secretive, and apparently had no friends.
He went to Diagon Alley by himself. He did not need anyone's help or accompaniment.
He was willing to do everything himself, and the adult Voldemort was the same.
You will hear many Death Eaters claim that they have gained his trust and that they are the only ones who can approach him or even understand him.
But in fact, they had all been fooled.
Voldemort never had a friend, and I don't think he ever needed one.
And lastly - I hope you haven't overlooked this in your sleepiness, Harry - young Tom Riddle likes to collect trophies. Have you seen the box of loot he has stashed in his room?
They had been taken from the children whom he had bullied, and were, so to speak, mementos of some particularly vile magical trick.
Remember that he likes to collect things like a magpie. This is especially important for the future.
Well, Harry, it's really time to go to bed. "
Harry stood up, and as he walked toward the door his eyes fell on the little table where Marvolo Gaunt's ring had been, but it was no longer there.
"What's the matter, Harry?"
"The ring's gone," said Harry, looking around. "But I thought you'd have a harmonica or something."
Dumbledore smiled, looking at him over the top of his half-moon glasses.
"You have a keen eye, Harry, but a harmonica is just a harmonica."
With this incomprehensible remark, he waved to Harry, and Harry saw that it was time for him to leave.
But it was not over yet.
The door to the Headmaster's office was closed, but Dumbledore was obviously waiting for someone else to arrive.
As he wished, Jon came quickly.
Shortly after Harry had left, the air in the Headmaster's office began to distort slightly, and Jon's figure appeared, his face heavy with fatigue.
"Headmaster, you're quite at ease here. Why, is the lesson with our dear boy over?"
Dumbledore rubbed his nose. "Why do I always feel that you have some prejudice against Harry? Every time you mention him you sound sarcastic."
"Am I? I think it's okay. After all, I don't have as deep feelings for him as you do. If you want me to treat him better, he'll have to do it himself. But obviously, he hasn't reached the point where he can enter my eyes yet.
In comparison, Miss Granger beside him is much better. "
In fact, Jon was not particularly against Harry or anything. When he was reading books, he put himself in Harry's shoes, so naturally he could empathize with him. But when he really became a bystander, this empathy was greatly offset.
He even began to understand Snape.
Because sometimes, Harry's actions were just too infuriating.
Dumbledore always said that he wanted to give Harry a chance to grow, but in a magical society, after a child turned 18, he would have to enter society and begin to fight against the cruelty of this society. And now, there were still two years left, and he still needed to grow. If not for the fact that he knew the inside story, Jon would have thought that Dumbledore wanted to nurture a good-for-nothing.
"Of course I know that Miss Granger is very outstanding. In fact, you have high hopes for her, and I have no objections to this matter. I believe that she will be able to achieve great things, but I'm curious, why are you in such a hurry?"
"The reason is similar to yours, Headmaster. But Headmaster, you intend to give up everything in the past and start a new life, while I intend to leave this world in the limited time I have."
"How can it be so easy to leave this world? You're not even a Legendary Wizard now. "
"There's no other way. At this stage, I can only improve my strength bit by bit, unless I have some special encounter. I'm already working hard, but I still need time, so now I …"
"So, you're starting to not care about things here." Dumbledore sipped his tea. "I've already heard from Sirius about that mermaid monster."
"I dealt with that mermaid to take out the item left behind by the ancestors of the Hufflepuff family from her body, and also for the sake of the ancestral conversion ceremony. It has nothing to do with me, but recently, I've started to try to teach Hermione. After going around in circles, she's actually the one who deserves to be taught the most."
"I also think that she's the one who deserves to be taught. Actually, Miss Granger always reminds me of Lily, who is Harry's mother. They were both born in the Muggle family, but they both had very high magical talent."
"The Muggle world is also full of talented people. They just don't have magic. If they had magic, this world would be different."
"But we're doing this for this new world, aren't we?"
"Of course, that's why I've been working on this for the past two days."
"That's right." Dumbledore seemed to have realized something. "How are you doing?"
"It's almost there. Hogwarts is an important strategic location, and it's completely capable of supporting the origin of the magic net's radiation. This way, we can use Hogwarts itself to create waves of magical elemental energy. I'm not too clear on just how powerful this tsunami will be, but it will definitely be much better than it is now."
"If we can do this, then the worst result will be the appearance of the Wizard in the next few years. As long as it's slightly better, our goal will be achieved."
"This kind of thing can't be done in a day. As long as the initial framework is set, the rest won't be too difficult.
Especially since Teacher Grindelwald and you have been spreading your influence in the outside world. The pure-blood families are still the minority … Besides, after the matter with Voldemort is over, I'll deal with them. "
"Deal with them … Don't go overboard with this matter. At the very least, we have to leave some bloodlines for those families."
Jon nodded. He didn't intend to completely eliminate those people. As the saying went, killing the chicken to warn the monkey. At the very least, there had to be a monkey.
"I don't intend to get rid of all the old school wizards in the magic world. After all, they are the backbone of the magic world. The world is changing, and it is easy to cause unnecessary trouble. Without these people, how can we fight against others in the magic world of the west?
Although I don't care about this, it's still best to make things more convenient. "
"It's best that you think this way. I hope we can get a very good result. At least this result won't make us feel regret."
"Yes, Professor. I promise you that no matter where you are, you will definitely be able to see the results of our work."
"Alright, let's not talk about this. Our Quidditch competition is about to start. Do you still want to watch?"
"What's the point of watching this competition? It's not like it has anything to do with us. Could it be that the outcome of this competition will determine whether our journey will be more convenient or more difficult? If that's the case, I will definitely watch, but unfortunately, I won't. "
Jon lowered his head and fiddled with his fingers. In such a peaceful and unchanging life, time passed very quickly. He could clearly feel the passage of time, so he felt that he didn't have much time left.
