Chapter 289 Dumbledore's Indulgence

Ariana and the others were undoubtedly labeled as the devil's party.

But they still had doubts about the treasure's identity.

"The prophecy says that the treasure is at the center of the storm and can correct the fate of wizards and make Voldemort realize his mistakes. Does the Sword of Gryffindor really deserve this title?"

"But from what I've checked, only the Sorting Hat has disappeared." Professor McGonagall frowned, "We can only wait and see when Dumbledore comes back."

“Now the most important thing.”

All the professors looked at Harry and the others.

"You should go back to the common room. Don't come out without the prefect's notice."

Harry and the others nodded repeatedly, and they separated at the entrance of the Gryffindor common room.

("I still don't understand why Mrs. Potter would just give up like that. She could have taken down Professor McGonagall." Seeing Lily return to Harry's body, and Harry being escorted back to the common room by Draco, Hermione frowned.)
At this moment, only Lily and Bajir knew the reason for everything.

First, the real Sorting Hat is not so easy to get. It requires actual touching, and it is hidden in a very hidden place.

Second, Lily hoped that the prophecy would come true and that Harry would borrow the [true form] of the Shadowless and take action near midnight.

As a beneficiary of the savior prophecy, Lily believes in the power of prophecy.

However, there is no prophecy of a savior in this world. She didn't know that Dumbledore's boyfriend could also predict the future, so she mistakenly thought that Dumbledore in this world would not take Professor Trelawney's prophecy too seriously.

Obviously she was wrong.

There are now 4 screens in total.

Harry and Lily's have been reunited.

The remaining three were: Krum at Hogwarts; Fleur and Cedric flying low behind the Heroic Spirits; and Ariana, Riddle, and Krum who were wary of each other in the sky.

They are still looking for a suitable place to hide the Sorting Hat.

Now, the screen is cracked again.

The view turned to the headmaster's office. A flash of fire appeared and Dumbledore's figure emerged from it.

Professor McGonagall was already waiting there.

Then there was a long conversation, which also included Trelawney's prophecy.

At her request, Dumbledore also checked the office.

"Just like you said, only the Sorting Hat is missing."

"That treasure"

"What's important is not the treasure, but will Tom really realize his mistake?"

Dumbledore's charming blue eyes are confusing, exuding an extremely alluring charm and tenderness.

(Voldemort: If I didn't know what would happen to me in this world, I would really believe that you cared about me.)
Professor McGonagall was obviously very pleased. Her eyes were red with tears at Dumbledore's attitude. "You are always so great. You are willing to give others a chance to reform, no matter how evil they are."

"You flatter me, Minerva. I am merely wondering whether, in light of the prophecy, I should—"

"You mean the treasure still exists?" Professor McGonagall's eyes widened, "and you're going to let the remaining person steal it?"

"I do have this plan. Tom will realize his mistake and use the power of him and his group in the right direction. The wizarding world will not decline, so why should I refuse?" Dumbledore said with a smile.

"you--"

"Well, I should go now. Make room for that guy."

After the words fell, the number of screens returned to 4.

("This is so contradictory?" Hermione frowned, "Is this Dumbledore a good guy or a bad guy?")
("She was the one who ruined the devil's career, forcing him and his men to enter a brothel and be humiliated.")
("But now she allowed the Sorting Hat to be stolen, and it was she who predicted it.")
("Is it possible that she was a good person from the beginning, but was just too conservative." Bajir shrugged, "The idea of ​​a demon man was too out of date at that time.")
("In her opinion, the hero Grindelwald's efforts have put the world on the right track.")
("The demon man's actions will only destroy the efforts of the hero Grindelwald. As Grindelwald's wife, she has this reason to protect the fruits of their revolution.")
("Wizards can still go to school now, isn't it Dumbledore who is working hard behind the scenes?")
On the other side, Harry was also communicating with his mother.

"You mean for me to break up with Krum and the others?"

"This way you have a chance to avoid them at night and go to the principal's office." Lily continued, "This is in line with normal emotional trends. You have been abandoned, and it would be abnormal if you were not angry. They think they have taken the Sorting Hat, and in order to keep it secret and ensure the completion of the mission, they will also distance themselves from you."

"Is that so? But how do I get in there?"

"I left a coordinate that is impossible to find with the magic level of the wizards in this world."

(“Amazing.” Baqir exclaimed in his heart.)
(The magic power of the magic fairy world is actually the combination of the wizard's magic power and light power, the evil power, and the power of human heart, which is brought to the extreme and deduced into the elves.)
(But in the use of this mixed magic, only Lily used it skillfully and exquisitely.)
(The magic power that could at most be used to cast the Illumination Spell was actually used to great effect by her.)
(It can be used as a portkey to teleport, it's like the magical version of the kunai flying thunder god.)
(This shows how talented she is and how keen her sense of magic is.)
(If Lily had not been so young, at the age of 21, she would have encountered Voldemort, who was 55 years old, bullying the weak with his big body and using a wand against a wandless one. Maybe in a few years, she would have become a wizard at the level of Dumbledore.)
Except for Bagel, the other spectators only heard this conversation. Harry just returned to his tent in silence, dragged it away from the golden forest, and went to a stream.

The only thing to see is the scenery as you pass by.

They are more focused on the other screen.

At this moment, Fleur and Cedric have reunited with their heroic spirits and 'Krum'.

They were on a Muggle farm next to the train tracks. In a dusty basement that looked like it hadn't been opened for a hundred years, they stuffed the Sorting Hat into a box locked with a rusty padlock.

Then, they chanted obscure spells, casting one unfathomable magic after another on this room and the box.

For some viewers who can understand it, this is undoubtedly a feast of knowledge.

Among them, Furong and Riddle were undoubtedly the highest level.

(“Is Furong so amazing?” Although Ron didn’t understand, he could tell from the sound and light effects and the attitudes of the people around him that she was extraordinary.)
(For the first time, he clearly felt the intensity of Dumbledore and his team's training of Fleur.)
(The previous mission was not outstanding because everything in the Magic Fairy World was too profound, making Furong seem mediocre.)
(You should know that she blocked the chain Avatar of Voldemort in the Magic Fairy World with the amplification of the Magic Fairy Device without releasing the Magic Fairy Device.)
(Krum was possessed by the elites of the Order of the Phoenix, while Harry and Cedric were liberated by the magic fairy device.)
(Only Furong was on her own.)
But the wonderful scenes are always short-lived.

Soon the five of them stopped, and Ariana and Riddle flashed and disappeared into Fleur and Cedric's bodies.

Only three people were left, returning along the train tracks.

And to others, Harry and Krum were just in a daze.

It's just so boring.

Just as the audience was about to relax and take a break, another screen appeared in their minds.

It was a dimly lit room with high ceilings, and the silver and green of Slytherin was everywhere, covering the bed, walls, and windows.

A strange coat of arms and a phrase in French were carefully drawn above the bed, and beneath them were many yellowed newspaper clippings glued together into an irregular collage.

(Blake looked at him with disgust, but his eyes became wet the next second.)
(He recognized whose room it was.)
(The only one who had the Black family crest and motto "Forever Pure" painted on the bedside table and covered with newspapers was his younger brother Regulus.)
However, only a brief glimpse was given of the room's decor.

Soon they came to the fireplace.

A figure stood aside, and a disguised voice came out from the green flames.

".This is what a leader is like. Are those two people today one of us?"

"Immortal beings," said the man, who looked extremely charming even though his back was turned to the audience. "Horcruxes? No, they are not one of us."

The audience instantly recognized the owner of the voice - the magic man - Tom Riddle.

(Voldemort frowned. Leader? Why are you pretending?)
"That?"

"Are you sure there are no omissions in the prophecy?"

"I've asked a lot of sixth-year witches, and they all know the answer."

(“Witches?” Dumbledore speculated, “Could the secret agents of the demon man in Hogwarts be his descendants?”)
("His supporters deliberately went to the 'Hungry Platform' to queue up and order food. One reason was to leave a bloodline for their idol, and the other was to plant an insider in Hogwarts?")
"Is that so?" Riddle frowned.

Smart people think simply, and combining it with the prophecy, he deduced everything.

Was it wrong for me to destroy the core of [Zi Mu River]?
Why is it wrong?
Will I lead to the downfall of wizards?

Who are those four people?

Was the Sorting Hat stolen, or was everything just a trap set up to make him mistakenly believe that the core of [Zi Mu River] was not in Hogwarts?

Thinking of this, he quickly asked, "Is Dumbledore back?"

"I came back, but left again soon." the man replied.

"Could it really be..." Riddle didn't finish his words, he changed the subject, "The next action in the school is on hold and await my notice."

(The picture goes black, and the screen returns to four pieces.)
(Professor McGonagall asked: "Is he ready to give up?")
("Perhaps," Dumbledore stroked his chin, "I said before that his actions, except for the destruction of the [Zi Mu River], were correct.")
("The magic ring has saved wizards from exploitation in terms of magic, and the contraceptive products invented by non-magical groups have made it so that wizards no longer have to rely on witches as partners. In fact, as long as these two steps are achieved, the rights and interests of wizards that Gettler fought for will return to the magical world.")
(“The destruction of [Zi Mu River] is completely superfluous.”)
("He is a smart man. He can understand that if the prophecy is true, it means that his cracking of the optimized wizard bloodline will fail, that is, the problem of the scarcity of male wizards and the imbalance in the ratio of male and female wizards cannot be solved.")
(Professor McGonagall suddenly realized, "This means that as long as the [Zi Mu River] is destroyed, the number of wizards will also decrease?")
(These days she's getting a good look at the world through livestreams.)
(Just as only a witch can satisfy a wizard, the same is true in reverse.)
(For male Muggles who have taken energy potions, even if they rely on quantity, they cannot completely make up for the lack of quality.)
(This is just the pleasure between the two sexes.)
(If they reproduce, the probability of wizards and Muggles in this world successfully having offspring is very low, it can only be considered a miracle.)
(Wizards can reproduce with other humans and magical creatures of the opposite sex, but witches cannot.)
(Without the help of the Mother and Son River, wizards will decline, and wizards and other subspecies of humanoids and magical animals will dominate the entire magical world.)
(Suddenly, a loud noise interrupted Professor McGonagall's thoughts.)
("Harry, why is the team now disbanded?" She heard it intermittently, but soon she realized that it came from the live broadcast.)
(She looks quickly at the screen.)
"Harry, you don't have to do this." Cedric said, "Dumbledore is not here, we are all here for the mission."

"If you want, we can take you to where the Sorting Hat is hidden," Krum said.

As the first one to leave the group, he felt a little guilty towards Harry who had trusted him and stayed where he was.

("Krum, you are confused," Ron slapped his forehead, "Harry is much smarter than you. The Sorting Hat is fake.")
"No need." Harry said coldly, "This is your achievement. But you should be aware that the God behind the scenes has not yet judged that you have completed the task."

"This means that the Sorting Hat may still be discovered, or Riddle has not yet realized his mistake."

“It is still unknown who will be the final winner.”

He turned his back to the two of them and left resolutely.

There was no response to the two people's attempts to keep him.

("What's wrong with Harry?" Ron asked in confusion. "He knew the Sorting Hat was fake, but he didn't do anything. Now he's at odds with Krum and the others.")
(Ginny was speechless. "Isn't it obvious now? The real Sorting Hat must be in a very secret place. Harry's mother didn't find it, or it couldn't be taken out in a short time. Harry had a falling out with them so that he could secretly take it at night.")
"Mom, I didn't reveal any flaws, did I?" Turning around, Harry hurriedly asked Lily in his heart.

Lily replied: "You have behaved very well. Now you just need to wait until midnight. Now let me emphasize the precautions with you."

"First, the coordinates I left behind require you to go to the entrance of the principal's office on the eighth floor to activate them."

"Second, the Sorting Hat is located at..."
