Chapter 564: The Fake of the Truth
In the club room, Harry, Ron and Hermione were quarreling.
"Harry, we'd better not be fooled. Remember, in the first grade you thought Professor Snape planned to steal the Philosopher's Stone, but he was actually the one who monitored Kilow. He was still protecting him while Kilow was trying to get you to fall off the broom."
Hermione locked the door with magic and recited a few more disturbing spells to make it easier for them to talk about dangerous topics without any scruples.
"I know." Harry said muffled.
"There are also second graders-"
"Thank you for mentioning the second grade. He wanted to fire Ron and me as soon as school started. Don't say he wanted to protect me, Hermione, his brain circuit should not be magically connected to Dobby, and he didn't know that the secret room would be opened at that time."
"Oh, uh..." Hermione was a little exhausted, "In the third grade, he was on our side..."
"Do you need to give him a medal? Thanks for not reaching an agreement with the Dementor?" Harry said irritably: "Hermione, why are you talking for him all the time? He used to be a damn Death Eater!"
Hermione was silent for a few seconds, "But Principal Dumbledore defended him, you told us in person, Harry, remember? You've seen it in the meditation pot..."
"He—and—not worthy of trusting," Harry said gritting his teeth.
"who?"
Harry didn't speak.
Ron and Hermione looked at him uneasyly, "You mean Principal Dumbledore--why do you think so--"
Harry was silent.
There was a huge secret hidden in his heart, which made him breathless. He didn't know whether he should tell Ron and Hermione. This secret had nothing to do with Snape, but it had something to do with Principal Dumbledore. In the stack of letters Sirius gave him, he learned a fact that shocked him.
"Have you had nightmares lately, Harry?" Hermione asked softly, looking at Ron, who shook his head and said he knew nothing.
"No." Harry said expressionlessly, but Ron and Hermione seemed to be more worried. Harry hesitated for a while, and he took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Hermione.
Hermione immediately started reading:
"Dear Bigfoot-" she stopped, "Who wrote this?"
"My mom," said Harry, "continue to read."
“Oh, OK.
Dear Bigfoot:
Thank you, thank you for your birthday gift to Harry! This is his favorite toy. He can fly around on a toy broom at only one year old. He looks so happy. I will attach a photo for you to see.
Unfortunately you can't come...
James was a little frustrated when he was locked here, and he tried not to show it, but I could see that the Invisibility Clothes were still there in Dumbledore, so he didn't have the chance to go out. How happy he would be if you could come.
Xiaozhu came last weekend, and I felt he was in a low mood, but maybe it was because of the news about McKinnons. I cried all night after hearing this.
Bashida often comes over. She is an interesting old lady. She tells many stories about Dumbledore, which is really unimaginable. I don’t know if he will be happy to hear it! To be honest, I don’t know how much I should believe. It’s hard to believe that Dumbledore once met Garrett Grindelwald, the dark demon who ravaged Europe. They also became friends because of their ideas!
But Bashida said that she was Grindelwald's aunt. If this matter was true, it would be difficult to fake anything else. After all, she really had no need to lie. She also revealed a detail, the slogan that later was used by Grindelwald as an excuse for all his atrocities and made him famous - 'For greater good', it is said that it was incredible that Dumbledore first wrote to his close friend Grindelwald.
There are even more incredible things. I can't reveal them in the letter. Maybe we shouldn't blame a seventeen-year-old young man. Think about it, how stupid we were at that time, James still believes that the whole world should know Quidditch!
That's all I'll write about, I heard Harry crying, hoping it wasn't because James was too bored, otherwise I would knock him on the head...
Lily."
Harry saw the faces of Ron and Hermione full of shock, almost exactly the same as when he first saw this letter. The previous second he was still feeling the gentle gaze that had never appeared in his memory through his mother's handwriting, and the next second he was pulled back to reality by the cold facts. His heart seemed to be torn in half, half full of excitement and sadness. He knew that they had a cat, Sirius bought him the first flying broom, and his mother was as gentle and kind as everyone told him, and perhaps a little sentimental...
But his other half, Harry didn't know how to describe his mood. He came into contact with the more real Dumbledore, who was seventeen-year-old Dumbledore, who was only two years away from him now. But at that time, Dumbledore had become a good friend to talk about with the dark demon Garrett Grindelwald who was destined to show his talents in the future. "The concepts are harmonious"... How ironic it sounds!
There is also the Invisible Clothes, Harry thought. Dumbledore took the Invisible Clothes. Why is this? A great wizard like Dumbledore can be invisible without the Invisible Clothes. He remembered an unreliable conjecture that Ron and Hermione once proposed, the Deathly Hallows... The Invisible Clothes in the hands of the third brother...
If Dumbledore had a great time talking to a man who was determined to establish a new order dominated by wizards when he was young, were they interested in the legendary Deathly Hallows that could become the master of the Death God? Together establish eternal rule, just like Voldemort? Harry was ashamed of his thoughts, how could he tie Dumbledore with Voldemort? But it was difficult for him to find excuses, and it was difficult for him not to have a thought that he could have a hindsight: If Dumbledore had not taken away the Invisible Cloak, would their family probably not die?
Harry stubbornly ignored the fact that Dumbledore, Professor Hepp, and Professor Moody had seen through the fact that the invisible cloak was always unverified, and repeatedly changed in hope and jealousy. He buried all this in his heart and locked it firmly with brain closure. It was not until he talked with Hermione that he couldn't help but burst out suddenly.
He felt resentment flowing in his blood vessels, and he looked eagerly at Ron and Hermione. Look, Principal Dumbledore was not as beautiful as we thought... He felt a burst of pleasure from Ron and Hermione's expressions on the verge of collapse.
"Harry," Hermione tried to speak, "I know it's really incredible, but understandable-"
"I understand?" Harry shouted, "I understand-you know him-"
"Yeah, I know." Hermione stroked her hair up and down the room, "I know... talented people always have a lot of ideas, not to mention that at their most creative age, some are much more outrageous than that..."
"Who did you say?" Harry asked suddenly.
"What--"
"You said some people are much more outrageous than Dumbledore, I can't think of—"
"That doesn't matter!" Hermione said angrily, "We all know that Principal Dumbledore is sitting in the principal's office now, and he has not participated in any of Grindelwald's speeches and atrocities. Instead, he has stopped him."
"He took the invisible cloak." Harry gritted his teeth and said stubbornly.
"Oh, I...I'm sorry, I know you feel uncomfortable, Harry, but we all know that the invisible cloak cannot stop Fu, Voldemort, their fate was destined from the moment the worm tail betrayed-"
"I! No! Believe! Fate!" Harry shouted, his breathless voice deformed from anger.
Hermione looked at him carefully and signaled Ron to help with his eyes. Ron seemed to have not recovered from his shock. He racked his brains and said, "Yes, Harry, I think Hermione's words make sense..."
"Which sentence makes sense?" Harry said through his teeth.
"That's right, just... the genius' ideas are always different. They are all pretty precocious, such as Professor Hayp, and of course you-" Ron said slowly.
"Me?" Harry looked at Ron incredibly, his anger in his heart lowered a little strangely, not because Ron called him a genius, which was ridiculous.
"Yes, it's you." Ron's tone became much smoother, but his speech was still very slow, and it sounded like a pre-written one. "No child of his age has experienced more than you. To be honest, even Dumbledore..." He pursed his lips, but still didn't say anything rude, "You took one of the strongest wizards in the world as the target of chasing, and repeatedly defeated his conspiracy, and you also established the Auror Reserve--"
"My grades-" Harry opened his mouth.
"To be honest, it's ridiculous. I've collected chocolate frog cards, and you know the 'Invincible Andros'? He's known for summoning a physical patron saint the size of a giant, and you did it when you were fifteen-"
"I used the magic text—"
"At least, no one has publicly shown it except Professor Hayp, right? You have practical skills. You have now surpassed the average Auror level. You defeated Sirius in training, so he is embarrassed to call your name in class..."
"That's a competition." Harry's face turned a little red.
Ron patted his shoulder, "Harry, do you know what other graduates say about you? A well-deserved student leader. No one dares to admit that except you."
"I'm sorry," Hermione interrupted coldly, "I haven't heard this before."
"Because you are not a graduate," Ron said without hesitation, "What Collins told me is that there are videotapes of the last two games of the Championship. You don't know how popular it is... Harry, you are not only famous because of the scars on your forehead. Well, I'm quite famous, and some fans wrote me... "
Harry and Hermione stared at him.
Ron said embarrassedly: "Of course, it's not as good as your fans, but what else can I blame?"
Harry felt very strange in his heart. He didn't know how the topic was turned to whether he was a genius, but undoubtedly he had less resentment towards Dumbledore. The haze that had been under his heart for the past few days has dissipated a lot.
"Even if what you said makes sense, it at least means that Principal Dumbledore will make mistakes," he said stiffly.
"I thought of a good idea," said Hermione.
Harry looked at her and asked, "What is it?" but he didn't give much hope.
"Write a letter." Hermione's mouth curled up slightly. She took out a blank parchment paper and a quill from her schoolbag. She shook her wand and the quill automatically wrote on the parchment paper. It was a completely different technique from Hermione's handwriting.
Harry and Ron approached her left and right, and saw the first sentence: "Dear Felix". The two opened their mouths in surprise.
"Dear Felix," Felix reads the letter in front of him with a strange expression. He thought he would never receive the news about "Ms. Jane" in his life, so he continued to read-
"Please forgive me for taking the liberty to write. The last letter was a bit pessimistic, but the situation gradually got better.
Although the difficult situation has not yet passed, I firmly believe that the future will be better. Recently, many wonderful ideas always pop up in my mind, like a thousand Billy Wiggs, and maybe adapting the story in my mind into a book will be very popular?
I don't think I'll be a writer, but the characters in this story seem to have life, and the problems that happen to them also bother me, as if they are real in reality. I urgently need valuable opinions, if you want...
The story takes place in a remote and closed town. The mayor is a respected elder. He participated in the war and captured the terrifying thief of Jiangyang. Later, he returned to the town and became the protector of the civilians in the town. The residents of the town respected him very much.
But there are also a few once powerful guys who think that the old mayor has touched their interests. They gathered around a cruel and evil leader, wanting to overthrow the old mayor and regain their previous noble status.
There was a boy living in the medicinal shop in the town. Among his neighbors was a warm and cheerful girl, who were the same age and later became good friends.
After school, although the boy and the girl were not able to be separated into the same class, their friendship was always in order. During this period, two major events happened to the boy. He joined a school group, which had a good impression of the evil gangs raging around the town. The girl kept persuading the boy to leave, but the boy wanted to gain fame and never agreed. Another thing was that he broke up with the girl two years ago when graduation was approaching.
After graduation, the boy secretly joined the criminal gang, and the girl became a policeman and married the suitor. The girl and the suitor defeated the evil gang's conspiracy several times, which angered the gang leader, who killed them himself, leaving only one baby.
After that day, the evil leader also disappeared, and the town residents cheered. During the trial, the mayor came forward to protect the boy. He said that he was indeed a member of the gang, but at some point he realized his mistake and became an undercover agent.
The boy became the teacher of the only school in the town. After more than ten years, the girl's orphan reached the age of school. The child was secretly fostered by the town mayor at the girl's relative's house because of his parents' death. He lived a miserable childhood. He always thought he would shovel cow dung for the rest of his life, but he unexpectedly received a notice from the school.
This child walked into the school with great joy, but was hostile to the boy who had the same unfortunate childhood as him - now the teacher -. I don't know why, maybe this child can always remind the boy of his father?
This child showed strong athletic talent and might become an excellent sheriff in the future. At this time, the criminal gang that had disappeared for more than ten years made a comeback. The girl's orphan wanted to avenge her parents, so she kept trying every means to collect information from the leader. He knew that the boss who made a comeback had found a new weapon, and also learned that the reason why the boss did not die last time was because he used precious materials to create a solid armor, and there were a total of six such armors...
Recently, this child discovered that the whereabouts of his teacher have been targeting him, and he may also be investigating the secrets of the armor. This is very abnormal - because the mayor not only knew the reason for the leader's death, but also destroyed several pieces of armor with his own hands - so the teacher was definitely investigating privately on the mayor's back.
This child had too many doubts in his heart. He didn't know whether the teacher who was a bad attitude towards him was good or bad. If he was a good person, why did he violate the order of the mayor? Especially recently, this child also discovered that the mayor made a mistake when he was young. The image of wisdom and virtue in his mind was shaky..."
Felix put down the letter and smiled happily. Valen looked at him strangely.
"Oh, someone's secret is not hidden anymore." He looked at Xue Xiao who was waiting for the reply and asked, "Your name is Zhu Weiqiong?"
