Harry Potter: I started signing in from Diagon Alley

What Dumbledore took out was a dark diary. In the middle of the diary, there was a terrifying big hole.

Eric knew what it was.

Voldemort's diary from his student days is also one of his Horcruxes.

Eric picked up the diary and said casually: "Nico told me, Professor, you are much better than him in the field of animal research and the improvement of spells, and you also have your own unique understanding of alchemy."

"Everyone has something that he is good at. There are indeed many people who admire me, but I am not omnipotent." Dumbledore said.

Eric pulled out his wand, pointed it at the diary on the table, the magic power was running, and asked at the same time: "Professor, what do you want to know from me?"

"Everything." Dumbledore said, "the source of this diary, its past, the magic that once appeared in this diary, and whether there are any magical items that are the same as this diary... All information, I will want to know."

Eric said curiously: "Professor, you could have asked Nico for advice."

Dumbledore laughed and said, "You underestimated yourself and overestimated me, Eric. Not everyone can become Nicole's student, and not everyone can absorb the knowledge about souls so quickly, at least I no."

Eric said: "You are belittling yourself, professor, there is absolutely no obstacle in terms of ability."

"Okay." Dumbledore said, "Actually, I don't want to, it's that simple."

"why?"

Dumbledore smiled and said nothing.

Eric quickly realized his impoliteness and apologized: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have snooped on this."

"No, it doesn't matter." Dumbledore said with a smile, "The reason I can tell you is because I once promised a person that I would no longer pursue the mystery of the soul in this life. Of course, there is also the reason of age. I am no longer young. Eric, there are some things that are better left to you young people to do."

Eric's heart moved slightly, there were not many people who could make Dumbledore make such an oath.

That person is probably Grindelwald.

There is undoubtedly an inextricable relationship between Dumbledore and Grindelwald.

There are even rumors that the two were once a couple.

Eric didn't say anything more, waved his wand, and said softly: "Take the root."

A ray of light like a light blue ribbon instantly appeared on the surface of the diary, and on the ribbon, a little bit of starlight also appeared.

This is a detection magic unique to Nicoléme, which can read relevant information about the soul.

Magic comes from the soul.

As long as there are traces of magic on an item, this detection magic can find out relevant information.

As long as it has existed, it will leave traces.

Without relying on a spiritual standpoint, all the magic and related information that had appeared and used in the diary flooded into Eric's mind.

After a while, Eric ended the magic.

"How?" Dumbledore asked.

Eric didn't speak.

He was still wondering why Dumbledore had shown him the diary.

Dumbledore has been acting a little strange since the dueling club.

Not only defended him everywhere, but also introduced him to Nicolas.

This journey brought Eric more than just learning one or two magic spells.

It can be said that in just two weeks, Eric learned more than what he learned at Hogwarts in the previous six months.

Now Dumbledore let him touch the Horcrux directly again.

What did Dumbledore, who made this decision, want.

Seeing Eric didn't speak, Dumbledore smiled and said: "Are you hesitating, should you tell me what this diary is? Well, this is actually not the question I want to know. I just want to know now, Is there any connection between the magic that once existed in this diary and Harry?"

Hearing such a straightforward statement, Eric looked sharply at Dumbledore.

Dumbledore's eyes were unusually clear, and he looked at Eric without hesitation, and he couldn't see any falsehood.

Chapter 128 Open and honest

Eric thought for a while, then slowly said: "Yes."

Dumbledore looked a little disappointed when he heard the answer.

He nodded with some relief, and then asked: "Do you want to know how this diary came about?"

The atmosphere in the principal's room seemed extremely tense, with a touch of humor.

They didn't even speak to the portraits hanging on the wall, they just quietly watched the two talking in the middle.

The topic they discussed was serious, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was the best kept secret in the wizarding world.

But neither of them can speak wantonly, they have to consider each other's feelings.

But Eric knew what Dumbledore wanted to say.

And as soon as this idea appeared, Eric's intention to continue to hide it was completely gone.

Duel Club, Nicoléme, Horcrux...

Eric is not a fool, and Dumbledore's various behaviors these days are foreshadowing his purpose.

They are also pushing Eric closer to him step by step.

Thinking of this, Eric suddenly felt a little tired.

"Professor, I know what is going on." Eric interrupted Dumbledore's question and said.

"Oh?" Dumbledore was a little surprised, but not too shocked.

After Eric fully demonstrated his abilities, Dumbledore was no longer surprised by Eric's potential.

Obviously, he was also mentally prepared for Eric's knowledge of Horcruxes.

Just like what he said to Snape in the Great Hall, he and Eric just tried in different directions.

Eric thought for a while and said, "Horcruxes, splitting one's own soul is also a way of pursuing immortality."

Hearing this word, Dumbledore seemed relieved, and smiled from the bottom of his heart: "The most evil magic, since you mentioned the Horcrux, you must know who this diary belongs to."

Eric said the answer he already knew: "Tom Riddle, aka Voldemort."

"Hahaha." Dumbledore laughed, "Many people are afraid to say his name, but you are not shy at all."

Eric said: "It is Voldemort's purpose to make people afraid to mention his name."

Dumbledore nodded and continued: "Voldemort is an extremely cowardly and cowardly person. Before we all noticed, he created the Horcrux alone, split his soul, and fantasized about obtaining it in this way. eternal life."

Dumbledore said: "Until all the Horcruxes are completely destroyed, we can't completely kill Voldemort. However, the problem is that even I can't be sure how many parts Voldemort split his soul into. It's seven, because seven is the most magical number, but it could be other numbers. I want you to check this diary to find out where the rest of the Horcruxes might be."

Eric said: "You have found another one."

Dumbledore nodded with a wry smile: "Harry, under some circumstances, he also became Voldemort's Horcrux."

Eric asked softly: "Aren't you going to tell him?"

"Tell him?" said Dumbledore. "No, I don't think it's a good idea..."

"But that is his right." Eric looked directly at Dumbledore.

Dumbledore smiled bitterly, still shaking his head slowly.

Eric looked at Dumbledore blankly.

He didn't say anything more, but he seemed to have said everything.

Dumbledore knew that.

Herein lies the most fundamental difference between the two men.

Dumbledore believed that Harry should not take the initiative to tell Harry about the Horcruxes. He would eventually be unable to avoid death. This was too cruel for a child who did not have the ability to protect himself.

Eric believed that Dumbledore was manipulating Harry in a certain sense, and Harry should choose the ending, not Dumbledore.

If all the options are put in front of Harry, Harry certainly has the right not to accept Dumbledore's arrangement.

It's like that popular train puzzle on the Internet.

There were two railroad tracks, one person was lying on one side, and five people were lying on the other side, all unconscious, and the train was heading towards the track where five people were lying on.

Now you are standing on the train, and you have the opportunity to choose to change the track of the train. Do you want to change?Sacrifice one person to save five.

The train was like Voldemort, and Harry was like the man lying alone on the tracks.

Now both Dumbledore and Eric knew that Voldemort would eventually try to resurrect him.

In order to destroy Voldemort, he must first destroy his Horcrux, which is Harry.

Dumbledore stood on the train. In order to completely eliminate the biggest enemy of order in the magical world, he would choose to change the track and let the train drive towards the track where he was alone.

Eric chose not to.

These two completely different values ​​are equally indistinguishable from right to wrong, it's just a matter of choice.

Dumbledore is for the sake of other people in the magic world and order. From the perspective of collectivism, this choice is correct.

Dumbledore is indeed old, let Voldemort continue to go crazy, then no one can think about it.

But Eric pays more attention to Harry's feelings. He is more selfish. Put yourself in his shoes. If Eric were Harry, he would definitely not want to be concealed, but make a decision after knowing the whole picture.

So Eric didn't want Harry to be treated that way either.

Although Eric knew that according to the development of the original plot, Harry would not die in the end.

But that's assuming nothing changes.

Now that Eric is here, he becomes the butterfly in the butterfly storm and becomes a variable in the story.

God knows how much change it will cause.

In the original book, there are also no demonstrations of the Dueling Club and Grindelwald's remnants.

But now, Clement died in front of Eric with his own eyes.

……

After a while, Dumbledore asked: "When did you start paying attention to Horcruxes?"
