Chapter 18 The Holy Grail Knight - Reversed
Do I really know Professor Dumbledore?Harry's eyes were a little dazed, and the blue color was rippling, like a little lamb who needed the guidance of the Lord.
The Dark Lord turned around, concealing the slight twitch of his mouth, and he pulled out a folder from the bookshelf: "My new subordinate gave me a big gift—seriously, her intelligence gathering ability is far better than Some Death Eaters who look at people with their chins - come see this, my boy."
Harry couldn't wait—he needed evidence, more evidence, that would convince him that the kind old Headmaster had brought her mother's death to the fore.
The old parchment was unfolded in his hands, and he saw several letters written by Headmaster Dumbledore himself, in the elongated, circled, circled script he had seen countless times.The Dark Lord pulled out one and placed it in front of him:
Gellert -
You mentioned that the wizarding rule is for the Muggle self-interest - I think that's the key point.Yes, we are endowed with power, and yes, that power gives us the power to rule, but it also entails a responsibility to the governed.We must emphasize this and make it the cornerstone of our career.When objected (as it is bound to be), it must be the basis of all our arguments.We strive to rule for the greater good.Therefore, when encountering resistance, we can only use necessary force and not excessive force. (That's your mistake in Durmstrang! But I shouldn't complain, because if you hadn't been expelled, you and I would never have met.)
— Albus
"I think you should learn a bit of history," said the Dark Lord. "Gellert Grindelwald, the so-called first Dark Lord, lost his duel with Dumbledore in 1945." For the greater good ' is the slogan of Grindelwald, and countless people flocked under this slogan. Sometimes I have to admit that he did better than me, after all, he ruled the whole of Europe at his peak."
The Dark Lord smiled, his red eyes gleaming with pleasure: "And, I must say, Dumbledore's argument is very much in my mind, 'We strive to rule for the greater good.'"
Harry stared at the letter, feeling something crumble inside him.He has always believed in Dumbledore, believed that he is the embodiment of virtue and wisdom, the Dark Lord slandered him only because they were enemies, he had no evidence...
"In addition, the one who sent me the prophecy was Severus Snape, he was Dumbledore's spy; the one who begged me to let Lily go, which caused me to be merciful, and gave Lily a chance to release the guardian of love, is also He," the Dark Lord continued, as if he was going to release countless secrets in one breath to break Harry's inherent cognition layer by layer, "after I lost my body, Dumbledore personally appeared in court for him and shielded him from The Scourge of Azkaban, and trusted him enough to make him Head of Slytherin."
"Well, I'm not sure if this should be known to you," the Dark Lord took another document from the bookshelf, "but I think you should have the right to know. Dumbledore and Grindelwald knew each other back then, While studying black magic and discussing the concept of governance together, we are also pursuing a magical legend-the Deathly Hallows."
"The Deathly Hallows contains three treasures: the staff of destiny, the most powerful magic wand in legend; the resurrection stone, which can resurrect the dead; and the invisibility cloak, which can avoid death when possessed, and will be destroyed when lost. Reaper's on. It's a really long story about the Deathly Hallows, and I don't think you're interested."
Harry was not uninterested, about the phrase "can resurrect the dead", and the invisibility cloak...
"The three Peverell brothers are the original owners of the Deathly Hallows, and the Potter family is the descendant of Ignotus Peverell, the owner of the Invisibility Cloak."
Harry thought of the gift Dumbledore had given him for Christmas in his first year, and that sentence.So much time had passed that he thought he would not be able to remember, but the unsigned note, written in circled Dumbledore's script, just emerged from his distant memory: "Your father left this Give me something."
"I..." He felt his voice sound like a dream, "I have this invisibility cloak."
"Yes, I've found it," said the Dark Lord. "Many people in Gryffindor know that you possess a magical invisibility cloak. Some even know that it is permanent, continuous invisibility, and unbreakable by any spell. But what I don’t think you know is that before your parents died, Dumbledore borrowed this invisibility cloak. It is a treasure that can avoid death, but when your parents are facing death threats, Dumbledore borrowed it Walk……"
"I know," said Harry, who felt that he should still be in the dream, one foot deep and one foot shallow, and the details were strung together one by one, "Professor Dumbledore borrowed it before my father died, 'When you have When you can escape death, when you lose it, you will be targeted by the god of death'..."
"Oh, it seems that you also hold some things that I don't know," the Dark Lord looked at him inquiringly, "but I guess there are more things you won't know."
"For example, Mrs. Figg, who lives next to you, is a Squib. Dumbledore hired her to spy on you and kept reporting you to him. Your miserable, abused, coldly violent, and ignored Childhood was always under his sight. He deliberately allowed you to have such a childhood."
"For example, how did he let Lupine and Hagrid go to school back then, and how he planned to use Lupine to win over the werewolves, and how he used Hagrid to win over the giants."
"This is a very skilled politician, and his foreshadowing is often jaw-dropping. Like me, he is inherently eager for power, although he behaves very sanctimoniously. As an opponent, he is worthy of admiration; of course , I am always better than him in various places. The worst time I lost was because I misjudged his ruthlessness in daring to make almost his favorite female student go out of his wits."
"You're a very clever boy, Harry," the Dark Lord smiled meaningfully, "don't play dumb."
————————————————————————————————————
After hacking Dumbledore in front of Harry, the Dark Lord was satisfied and resumed teaching Harry.
The Dark Lord was in a better mood, and the Death Eaters were secretly cheering, but Harry was still gloomy.The more information collected, the more it confirmed what the Dark Lord said in front of him, the shattering of idols, the heaviness of the truth, and that damned prophecy.
To make Harry happy--which Harry privately felt was one of the small reasons--they moved from a small four-story house to a larger and fancier manor--which, it is said, belonged to Which ancient family has a long history, and later this family disappeared.
Harry's exclusive domain expanded from the bedroom on the fourth floor to more than half of the manor, and it was the first time he had such a large space.In this regard, he was even grateful to the Dark Lord. After all, if it wasn't for the accident at the end of the Goblet of Fire, he would have been in the small space of his uncle's house, with his uncle, aunt, aunt, cousin Fat Pig, who had deep-rooted prejudice, Spend the summer vacation that will not be pleasant even if you think about it.
But now, he can release magic at will, and most of the sky of the manor is free for him to fly. Freedom screams in his soul, and happiness flows in his blood.Not thinking about the heavy stuff, he was really, really happy.
One day, Lucius—Harry asked Lucius to find the information about the guardian of love, which greatly shortened the distance between them—Lucius asked him secretly: "Harry, you know, er ...Everyone is spreading the word, I really can't hold back my curiosity, can you answer me a question?"
Harry blinked.
Lucius took it as his acquiescence, lowered his voice, and asked mysteriously, "Harry, we have such a good relationship, so please tell me the truth—are you the master's illegitimate child?"
Harry's eyes widened, what is called the master's illegitimate child, and what is called by everyone is spreading!
People who have met say that he looks very similar to his father James!
Sirius had said in front of him many times that he was exactly the same as James!
His green eyes are exactly like her mother Lily!
Professor Dumbledore said his eyes were his mother's eyes!
Does the Dark Lord have green eyes like his?
Where did the rumor of an illegitimate child come from!
"No!" Harry shouted uncontrollably, "Of course not! Why are there such strange rumors—"
Lucius made gestures to calm Harry down, and he explained hurriedly and in a low voice: "We have never seen the master be so patient with a person, the master's attitude is very strange, he cares more about you than—— Well, it's more than it should be, he's holding you tight, Severus has been trying to say something to you but never got the chance, Greyback was severely punished for being hostile to you , oh my god."
"If you weren't young, we would have thought that Master was in a relationship with you," Lucius said a little uncomfortably, "Of course, age is actually not a big problem for us."
"So," Harry countered sharply, "in addition to me being the Dark Lord's bastard son, there's also a silly rumor that I'm in love with the Dark Lord?"
"Ahahaha," Lucius said with a very exaggerated expression, "the weather is so nice today."
