Hogwarts: Damn it, I became Voldemort

Chapter 267 Even the God of Death must avoid the edge
“This is something I made when I was younger.”

Dumbledore in the portrait had a frown on his face.

In front of him, Harry was holding the flashlight-like prop, waiting for him to continue.

So Dumbledore said: "This is a deluminator. It can absorb some light sources and hide you."

"Sounds like the complete opposite of a flashlight." Harry played with the Deluminator, and then asked the question he wanted to know most, "What else? It should have other uses?"

After getting the Deluminator for no reason, Harry obviously had no clue, and the voice that seemed to be ringing in his mind seemed to be instructing him to make a choice.

At this time, who is the only person Harry and the others want to see?

It goes without saying - it's Cyrus!
Someone wanted him to look for Cyrus, and it was possible - not very likely - that it was Cyrus who asked for help.

The possibility was slim, but Harry couldn't ignore the possibility. If this was really Cyrus' request for help, then if he ignored it, Harry felt that he would regret it for the rest of his life.

In the past, Harry would have acted on a whim just for the sake of a very small chance.

But now, he has learned something, that is: don't be afraid to rely on others.

This is actually what he needs to learn most.

Because of what he went through at the Dursleys' house, Harry always felt that he was alone and that no one would help him. But in fact this is not the case. He has so many friends and so many wise teachers. He could just ask the wisest person in the world.

"It does have some other small use," Dumbledore said, but he didn't make it clear.

Even though he's just a portrait, he's used to thinking about things the way Dumbledore did, and he's used to keeping secrets:

"But more importantly, how did he end up in your package? It was never my intention to leave Deluminator with you, Harry," said Dumbledore.

In fact, because his death was so sudden, he made almost no arrangements for his inheritance. The person who was supposed to inherit everything was Aberforth, but Aberforth refused.

All of Dumbledore's belongings were later returned to Hogwarts, where they will be passed down as part of the school for generations to come.

"Yeah, unless someone wants me to use it." Harry looked at it and said, "Do you think it could be Cyrus? Maybe he wants to ask me for help this way?"

"No," Dumbledore shook his head, "I don't think so. I talked to Cyrus before he went to find Death." Dumbledore looked at Harry with calm and kind eyes, "He would rather Even if I sacrifice myself, I won’t let you continue to be in danger.”

When he said this, Dumbledore still felt a little ashamed.

Because he wanted Cyrus and Harry to face death together from the beginning. Of course he knew that this was very dangerous and that Harry might even lose his life, but in Dumbledore's opinion, there was no other way. One person's sacrifice In exchange for greater peace, he thought it was worth it.

But Cyrus was obviously different.

Harry didn't know this and looked very surprised.

During this period, no one knew where Cyrus was, but who would have thought that a deceased person would actually have information.

He wanted to question Dumbledore, but Harry was too mature now. He knew that it was not Dumbledore's fault. Cyrus did not want them to know his whereabouts from the beginning.

"Actually, he is ready to sacrifice. It is impossible for you to fall into the quagmire because he is in danger now." Dumbledore said, "I think there are two possibilities when the Deluminator appears in your hand. ”

"You said it," Harry said.

"The first possibility is that after I die, all my inheritance belongs to Hogwarts," Dumbledore said. "I think you should understand, Harry, Hogwarts is not just a castle, it is an actual castle." There's something magical about it. I always say that at Hogwarts, there's always help for those who need it."

Harry nodded. In fact, this sentence was said by Dumbledore in his second year. At that time, they hid in Hagrid's house and watched the annoying Malfoy take Hagrid away.

Cyrus was still with them at that time!
"Then it is possible that the castle itself sensed that Cyrus needed help and brought it to you. Hogwarts has witnessed the lives of many wizards and the wisdom left by the four founders. The power is probably beyond your imagination.”

"You mean, the four founders?"

"Yes." Dumbledore nodded.

No one knows how powerful the magic power of the four founders of Hogwarts is, but it can be seen from some of the magic props they created.

"I don't think so." At this time, the Sorting Hat interjected.

It was placed on the shelf as usual. Harry quickly turned his head to look and saw the hat saying in a serious tone: "If it is the will of the castle, I think it is impossible for me not to know."

The Sorting Hat was once the hat of Gryffindor, but in fact it has the different qualities of the four founders in body and mind. For thousands of years, in the process of continuously sorting little wizards into different houses, it has long been completely integrated with the magic of the castle.

"But if not the castle, then who?"

"This is the second possibility." Dumbledore looked more serious than ever before. He looked through the frame and looked at Harry for a long time before slowly saying a name. :
"grim Reaper."

"Death?!" Harry's face was full of surprise, "But how is this possible?"

How could Death allow himself to help Cyrus?

"I'm afraid he doesn't want you to help Cyrus, but wants to deceive your soul like Grindelwald's soul. In this way, no one can beat him, not even Cyrus. It's impossible to defeat him," said Dumbledore.

"What?" Harry felt extremely angry at this moment.

What god of death is so despicable!
But Dumbledore laughed instead and said with relief: "You should not feel angry, but feel happy. Because the God of Death has set his sights on you instead of the Lord looking for his Cyrus, you know what this means. What are you wearing?"

After listening to Dumbledore's words, Harry obviously wanted to understand the key, and his expression became excited. He clenched his fists and his face turned red with excitement:

"This means that not even the God of Death dares to confront Cyrus head-on."

"Yes!" Dumbledore nodded, "I believe that the power of the God of Death is much more than that, but Cyrus has also made complete preparations. He also has three Deathly Hallows and is invincible. No matter how powerful the God of Death is, , at least we can see that when facing Cyrus, he chose to avoid the edge temporarily. "

Harry felt his heart beating rapidly at this moment, as if the person who feared even the God of Death was himself!

"So, Harry, you should understand that compared to helping Cyrus, it is more important to protect your own safety! I know you are very courageous, but now is definitely not the time to take risks."

"I understand, Professor Dumbledore." Harry said with a smile, "Recklessness is not bravery, is it?"

Dumbledore was stunned for a moment, and then responded with a smile.

Harry has grown far beyond his expectations. Dumbledore has always valued Harry's talent, courage, and passionate emotions. But there was only one thing that worried Dumbledore, and that was that he was too impatient.

But now, Harry understands this most important truth. From now on, he will not act rashly or be timid. Dumbledore believes that he will achieve great achievements.

After saying goodbye to the portrait, Harry found Ginny and the others and completely relayed this part of the conversation.

"So we still don't know where Cyrus is." Ginny said disappointedly. She looked at Harry, "The Deluminator can help us find him, right?"

"Don't do anything stupid, Ginny." Hermione said seriously, "What we have to do now is not to find Cyrus, but to wait for him to come back."

"But what if he can't come back?!" Ginny shouted excitedly!

She was like a crazy little lion.

"You didn't listen to Dumbledore—"

"Even Dumbledore is not always right! What you said is just his guess!"

Ginny was so worried that she was unwilling to give up until she saw Cyrus with her own eyes. Hermione and Ron were somewhat unable to do anything about her. She had not listened to Ron so much since she was a child. The youngest brother was the least dignified one in the family.

"It's a correct guess, but Dumbledore's guess is almost correct." But Harry was different. His calm words carried great power and calmed Ginny down.

Sometimes, Ginny and the others felt that Harry sounded like Cyrus or Dumbledore.

In fact, Harry did imitate them, not just in the tone of his voice, but in the way he thought.

He discovered that sometimes speaking calmly was far more powerful than speaking irritably and blindly raising one's voice, just like now.

"Compared to Death or Cyrus, our power is too small, Ginny. Cyrus's enemy is not the Death Eaters, not Peter Pettigrew. We will cause trouble for him."

"I'm just worried..." Ginny weakened like a deflated ball.

Hermione quickly hugged her to prevent her from falling.

"Yes, we are all worried, but he is Cyrus. He has never lost, has he? Even Azkaban and Dumbledore can't lock him up," Harry said.

"Even Death fears him!"
-
In the world of death, Cyrus was not as optimistic as Harry and the others believed.

The God of Death may just be looking for a simple and easy way to find Harry. This does not mean that even if he is weak, he does not dare to fight against Cyrus.

In fact, after trying to deal with Harry to no avail, Death finally set its sights on Cyrus.

Maybe it was because of the Deathly Hallows that he didn't do it himself, but countless undead finally appeared in front of Cyrus, endlessly opposing him!
And those enemies, Cyrus, are no strangers at all——

Dumbledore, Grindelwald, Voldemort and Herbo...

Of course, there were more than a few of them, there were countless dead souls, but those people did not impress Cyrus.

They all have faces that are familiar to Cyrus, and the God of Death has actually opened his mind to them. They all know that they are enemies of Cyrus, but they cannot control themselves. They can only be destroyed by Cyrus over and over again. Rise up from the dirt again.

"He is consuming your physical strength." The person who said this was not Dumbledore, not even Grindelwald, but Voldemort.

This miserable soul is controlled by Death like a puppet, attacking Cyrus from various tricky angles.

But in the current view of Cyrus, Voldemort's power has long been too different from his, and it can't even be considered as causing much trouble to Cyrus. But he kept resurrecting, as if he could never be eliminated.

"Thanks for the reminder, Voldemort." Cyrus blew all the enemies in front of him to pieces with a spell, then took a half step back, raised the gold cup and took a sip.

He didn't know how long he had been in this world. There was no flow of time here, but it still made him feel hungry.

Fortunately, he recreated the Gold Cup.

And in the endless battle, the crown also kept him sane. The sword was held in his hand, and Slytherin's pendant protected his heart, preventing the vicious curse from harming him.

To be honest, these four magic items look like they were specially crafted to conquer death.

The golden cup gave him endless physical strength, the crown prevented his will from being corroded, and the pendant protected his body... And Gryffindor's sword, Cyrus, had long discovered that the ghosts it slashed wanted to Resurrection takes far longer than the souls destroyed by spells.

He split Dumbledore's body open again, and the expression on the old man's face looked very painful.

Perhaps the God of Death was trying to use this method to shake Cyrus's heart from the very beginning.

But he was wrong. Cyrus drew his sword without hesitation at all.

Until now, he didn't know how many times he had "killed" Dumbledore and Grindelwald. Not to mention that his hands were numb, even Haierbo, who kept dying, was almost numb.

At the beginning, he saw Cyrus appearing in front of him and full of vicious curses!

As for now?

Cyrus almost showed his face to him in seconds!

"Tom is right, Cyrus." Dumbledore reunited his body in the sand again, and the number of the dead souls was as numerous as the sea of ​​sand. "Death is indeed consuming your physical strength. Even if you have the Deathly Hallows and the Four It’s impossible for you to continue fighting against a giant’s relic.”

As long as Cyrus relaxes for a moment, Death can sneak up on Cyrus, break the curse of the Elder Wand, and seize Cyrus' soul.

Cyrus naturally understood this without him having to say it.

"Then what do you think?" he asked, cutting off Grindelwald's head.

With a wave of his magic wand, thousands more undead souls were wiped out by him. But then, the bodies of the undead occupied all the sand dunes.

"I remember that you have an evil spell that can drive the dead to help you fight?" Dumbledore reminded him with a smile as he issued a death curse towards Cyrus, "I think now is the time to use it."

"Hot hell?"
