Chapter 160
Chapter 160
Under the order of Voldemort, Barty Crouch Jr. secretly sneaked into Hogwarts to monitor Harry Potter.The name of the Goblet of Fire, the attack on the other three warriors was all done by him.The ultimate goal is that Harry Potter can win the final championship, or to ensure that Harry is the first person to lift the Triwizard Cup.
"Why?" Harry asked in front of Alice, "How could Voldemort be so kind to let me win the championship?"
"Look," Snape raised his eyebrows triumphantly at Alice, "like I said, our great savior has no brains at all. I doubt that without the help of Barty Crouch Jr. And he lost his life."
But you can't let Harry lose his life, Alice knows this very well.But due to the presence of Harry Potter himself, she did not choose to immediately refute Snape.
"The point is not the championship, the point is the Triwizard Cup," Alice explained to Harry, "Hogwarts is one of the safest places in the wizarding world, and you have always been under the protection of Hogwarts, so Lord Voldemort There's nothing you can do about it in some cases. If I didn't guess, they should have played something in the Triwizard Cup."
"What is Voldemort's purpose?" Alice looked at Crouch with a dull face.
"The master needs the blood of Harry Potter to be resurrected. The bones of the father, donated unintentionally, can regenerate your son. The flesh of the servant, donated voluntarily, can regenerate your master. The blood of the enemy, forced to give It can revive your enemy, "No matter how strong the willpower is, it is not a problem to pour down two bottles of Veritaserum.Crouch replied blankly, "The Triwizard Cup is a portkey that will bring Harry Potter to the master."
The sky was getting darker, and the sudden cancellation of the finals caused the audience outside to explode, and loud curses came in at an inopportune time.Different from the outside, the maze at this time was unusually quiet, only Crouch uttered a few strange words from time to time.
Alice felt extremely cold, the cool wind came in through the gaps in her clothes, and the damp and cold instantly wrapped her body.Like being entangled by a snake, it makes people feel a slow suffocation.
"Fortunately," she forced a smile, her voice became hoarse somehow, "Harry would be in danger if he hadn't discovered it in time."
Harry seemed to realize it at this moment, and quickly nodded in agreement.Even so, there was only resentment on his face, no fear.
It is impossible to say that he is still young and does not understand what it means to resurrect Voldemort with his own blood.It can only be said that although the age does not meet the requirements, there is a reason for the Goblet of Fire to choose Harry as a warrior.
Seeing Harry's reaction, Alice smiled from the bottom of her heart.
Most of the time, in her opinion, compared with the title of savior, Harry Potter is more of a child, a typical Gryffindor wizard.Will explore castles, complain about essay assignments, and make mistakes.But like other little wizards, his heart is pure, and he acts entirely on enthusiasm and feelings.
Likewise, at certain moments, Harry can display astonishing courage.It was at this time that Alice realized belatedly that the prophecy was not groundless nonsense.
If there really is a savior, he may possess great wisdom and superhuman magical ability, but the most indispensable are those beautiful qualities, such as integrity and selflessness, such as bravery and fearlessness.
"Professor Hall?"
Feeling embarrassed to be stared at by Alice, Harry reminded him aloud.
"Sorry, I've gone through too much today," Alice said with a smile, "I think you're tired too, why don't we go back first?"
She said this while looking at Dumbledore. How to deal with little Crouch, how to deal with the audience and the Ministry of Magic, and appease other magic schools all depend on the headmaster's orders.
Dumbledore didn't answer immediately, he looked at the little Crouch who fell into a coma again, with emotions that Alice couldn't read in his eyes.
"I think, Harry, are you brave enough?" Dumbledore leaned slightly and looked at Harry.
Alice gasped, she had a vague guess.But this guess was too vague or too absurd, for a moment she, like Harry, fell into a daze.
"Albus Dumbledore!" Snape gasped and cried out, his suppressed anger could be seen from his trembling body, "You won't be...you promised me!"
"This is for Harry's safety," Dumbledore said inexplicably. He didn't look back, but still looked at Harry gently, "Harry, do you trust me?"
Snape always laughed at Alice, thinking she trusted Dumbledore too much.But compared to Harry Potter, Alice's trust is so insignificant.
When he learned that Dumbledore wanted to use the Triwizard Cup to face Voldemort, Harry nodded without hesitation after only a few seconds.
"I will protect you, secretly." Dumbledore emphasized.He waved his wand, and the rows of hedges moved to the sides in an instant, revealing the Triwizard Cup in the open space in the distance.
Seeing Harry walking forward so straightly, Alice still couldn't help but want to stop him.This is not bravery, this is suicide!
Not wanting the next moment, Snape directly grabbed her arm.
"You're crazy!" Alice asked back in disbelief when Harry and Dumbledore disappeared one after another.
What is it if a child is not insane to face Voldemort?What is Dumbledore's covert protection, and to what extent does it appear?If Voldemort shot the Killing Curse, would Dumbledore really have time to rescue him?
"Don't you want to atone? Don't you want to protect Harry Potter?"
"We'll talk about it when we go back," Snape replied with a pale face and trembling voice amid Alice's series of questions.
Looking at the unbearable pain on Snape's face, Alice suddenly realized something: "He summoned you."
Voldemort's resurrection will not come quietly. After disappearing for so many years, he will surely take this opportunity to meet the Death Eaters, reward loyal suitors and punish cowardly betrayers.
"If you don't answer the summons, Voldemort will know that you betrayed him." Alice became anxious.The last time the Quidditch World Cup was attacked, the Death Eaters received orders, but at that time Voldemort was not really resurrected, and a large part of the Death Eaters did not participate in the attack.
In that case, as a spy sent to Hogwarts, it was plausible and even reasonable for Snape not to be involved in the raid.But now, if you don't go, it will definitely be considered a betrayal.
Snape just shook his head, grabbed Alice, and forced his way home.
The familiar environment did not calm Alice down.
"What should I do? Are painkillers or tranquilizers useful?" Seeing that Snape insisted on going his own way, Alice could only settle for the next best thing, thinking of ways to alleviate his pain.
"The bottom level of the potion cabinet, the black crystal vial." Leaning weakly on the sofa, Snape said.
Knee hit who knows which chair, no time to think so much, Alice trotted here to get the potion.
"Which one is it? I think there are two, so I brought them both." She seemed more nervous than Snape, almost unable to hold the crystal bottle steadily.
Snape glanced at it, picked up one of the bottles, and downed it.
With a speed visible to the naked eye, the pain on Snape's face disappeared.Although his left arm was still trembling uncontrollably, he could already sit up.
Seeing this, Alice relaxed, her knees softened, and she half-kneeled on the sofa.
"If you look like this, people who don't know will think I'm going to die." Sighing, Snape patted Alice's back reassuringly.
"Understand, the first time." Lying in Snape's arms, Alice forced a smile, "If it happens again, I won't care about you. It just hurts a little, and I can't die."
Knowing that Alice said angry words, Snape nodded kindly, and then explained: "The Dark Lord has disappeared for so many years, including me, only a few Death Eaters escaped the trial of the Ministry of Magic. No matter whether he goes or not, he will doubt my loyalty."
"Then what should I do?" Alice raised her heart again.
"When the right opportunity arises, I will report the situation to the Dark Lord alone. Now that the past has passed, there is no guarantee that other Death Eaters will not make trouble." Snape knew that most Death Eaters wanted to kill him, especially if he had watched him before. Not used to his Bellatrix Lestrange.
Since Snape said he was confident of solving it, Alice could only choose to believe it.Soon, she regained her composure and thought of more important things: "What's going on with Harry Potter?"
Patting Alice's hand on the back, there was a long silence before Snape said: "Back then Lily used a very ancient magic to protect Harry Potter with her own life. Harry Potter's blood Infused with his mother's love, as long as he lives where his mother's blood flows, he will be immune to Voldemort."
Closing her eyes, Alice suppressed the inappropriate emotion, replaying Snape's words over and over again in her mind.But like a missing piece of the puzzle, she couldn't think of a reason for Dumbledore to do it.
"Dumbledore thought there was some connection between Harry Potter and Voldemort," Snape said.
Alice sat up straight unconsciously, because she herself had a connection with Voldemort.
"Unlike you, the connection between Potter and Voldemort goes both ways," Snape explained. "Dumbledore guesses..."
"Guess what?" Seeing Snape suddenly not speaking, Alice asked anxiously.
"Guess that Harry Potter is related to Voldemort's Horcrux," Snape laughed mockingly, "Dumbledore didn't intend to let anyone know, but I noticed something was wrong, and someone confirmed my idea. So Once again, Dumbledore had to be honest about his plans, only partially."
As for who that person was, Snape didn't say much.
Alice's eyes widened, and she thought of the basilisk in the zoo: "Harry's Parseltongue is because of this?"
"Probably yes." Snape nodded, saying these words seemed to have exhausted his strength.He leaned on the sofa with a solemn expression: "This is Dumbledore whom Potter trusts with all his heart!"
Snape didn't finish the rest of the sentence, but Alice suddenly realized: "Voldemort doesn't know that Harry Potter is a Horcrux."
This is an affirmation.If Voldemort knew that Harry was a Horcrux, then he wouldn't want to kill Harry, and would probably be happier instead.After all, the savior is the Horcrux of the Dark Lord, and as long as the Horcrux is not dead, the Dark Lord will not die.
"I just thought of that," Snape said, "the reason why the Dark Lord insisted on resurrecting with Potter's blood, he thought it would get rid of Lily's protective magic."
"But what really protects Harry is maternal love. Voldemort cannot completely break through the protective spell," Alice continued, "If you want to kill the Dark Lord completely, Harry as a Horcrux will definitely die. But if you let Voldemort kill himself Where's the Horcrux?"
Voldemort's resurrection made this whimsical idea possible.
Maternal love protects Harry, and at the same time protects Voldemort's Horcrux.After Voldemort was resurrected with Harry's blood, he was able to inflict damage on Harry but was still unable to kill him.In other words, if Voldemort wanted to kill Harry, he would only kill his Horcrux.
"But this is all Dumbledore's speculation." Snape did not deny Alice's analysis, he emphasized again, "Don't be like Potter, who was sold by Dumbledore and counted the money for him."
"But just in case, the headmaster followed, didn't he?" Alice leaned back on Snape and said softly, "If the headmaster's guess is correct, this is the only chance for Harry to survive. So you didn't Stop taking risks."
Snape closed his eyes and said nothing more.
--------------------
The author has something to say:
The above is my understanding of the original.Dumbledore planned a lot, but under his plan, Harry only had a probability of not dying.As for the identity of the Elder Wand at the back, no one can think of it.
