Hogwarts: Voldemort, don't stop me from studying

The boat was cast with some kind of magic, so it didn't shake due to the imbalance of force. However, the space was so small that there was no way to sit down, so Wade simply stood like Dumbledore.

A warm hand rested on his shoulder.

Dumbledore seemed worried that he would accidentally fall off the boat. Wade moved his neck, a little uncomfortable, but he did not reject the old man's kindness.

"Be careful." Lupin warned, "I'll be waiting here. If anything happens, I'll find a way to get there as soon as possible!"

Vader said, "Yes... but it shouldn't be dangerous to just take a small boat. Voldemort also needs to travel back and forth safely."

"Okay..." Lupin took a deep breath: "If there is any uncertain danger, let's return first and we can think of a solution together, okay? We don't have to solve all the problems today."

Wade nodded and said, "I understand."

Dumbledore chuckled softly.

Although Lupin said this to Wade, Dumbledore knew that he was actually protesting to himself.

This made the old principal feel somewhat novel.

This was the first time anyone suspected that he couldn't protect the people around him.

He could see that Lupin didn't distrust him, but he saw Vader as someone he had a responsibility to protect.

Although Dumbledore was far more powerful than Lupin, Vader still felt uneasy and worried when he followed Dumbledore and left Lupin's sight to go on adventures.

Just like parents treat their beloved children, like a miser holds precious jewels, they treat them with great care and treasure them extremely.

……

The boat has set off automatically.

It does not need to be driven, it drives in a straight line towards the green light in the center of the lake, leaving fan-shaped ripples behind it.

The dark lake was bottomless, with only the light from the tip of Dumbledore's wand reflected on the water like star fragments.

Michal landed on the bow, looked around, spread his wings from time to time, and spit out fire into the lake, as if he was still expecting some missed corpses to come out.

Wade seemed to have a vision of a naughty child spitting all over the floor.

Dumbledore stared at Michael, the golden light of the Firebird reflected in his eyes.

"A very unique life form." Dumbledore asked casually, "Where did you find it?"

"In the old Gaunt house," said Wade. "I didn't 'discover' it - I 'created' it."

Dumbledore was silent for a few seconds: "...create?"

"Life Alchemy involves forbidden magic, but it can also be said to be an accidental product."

Wade didn't think there was anything he could hide from Dumbledore, and it would be even more embarrassing if he was caught lying.

Therefore, he briefly told Dumbledore about his actions with Lupin that day, focusing on the figure struggling in the Fiendfyre and even trying to attack them, and only skipped the part where Michael found the Resurrection Stone.

Wade didn't know whether Dumbledore could resist the temptation of the Resurrection Stone now, but the fate of the one who got the Resurrection Stone among the three Peverell brothers always reminded him.

Dumbledore was indeed very interested in the figure. After asking a few questions about the situation at that time, he fell into deep thought.

The boat gently pushed through the lake water, making tiny splashing sounds.

This place is already far away from the shore, but Lupin is still holding up the glowing wand, and the figure standing like a pine tree is very eye-catching no matter from which direction you look at it.

Magic is a power related to the mind. Perhaps because of this, those who have been helped by Vader will always repay him in different ways.

But this is not a cold exchange of interests.

Wade looked at the figure that was getting smaller and smaller, and suddenly said, "Professor..."

"Vader?" Dumbledore lowered his head.

"Why didn't you ask?" Vader said.

"what?"

"How do I know all this... and why do I do this..."

It was very quiet around, so quiet that you could hear people breathing.

Dumbledore didn't seem surprised, nor did he look smug as if "everything is under control". Instead, he sighed softly.

"You know, there are always some wizards who have the talent to see into the future. For example, our professor of Divination, Sybill Trelawney, her great-grandmother is the legendary prophet, Cassandra Trelawney."

"Sybil inherited some of her great-grandmother's talent, but she just doesn't seem to be able to use it very well."

"And in modern times, the most powerful prophet I know is Gellert Grindelwald, who can see fragments of the future."

"The prophecy made him successful and made it easier for him to succeed. But the prophecy also ruined him and made him ignore many things...more important than life and death."

"Before you, I always thought that Sybill was just a fortuneteller who occasionally showed her talent, and Grindelwald was the only prophet of the modern age."

Wade looked over in surprise, and Dumbledore looked at him with a gentle look that was tinged with pity.

"Ved, I don't know how much you have seen, but I want to remind you... Don't overestimate the power of prophecy, and don't fall into fatalism. Prophecy gives us guidance on our destiny, but only you can decide the direction of your future."

……

The boat gently bumped against the shore and stopped. In front of it was a smooth rocky island, only the size of a room. In the center was a stone pillar with a stone basin on top of it.

The stone basin emits a green light.

Dumbledore got off the boat first. Standing on the black rocks, he observed for a while and turned back to ask, "Wade?"

Wade suddenly came back to his senses from his thoughts and hurried off the boat.

Looking at the old principal's robe decorated with stars and moons, he felt surprised but not too surprised.

No wonder Dumbledore never questioned it...it turned out that he had already reached a conclusion in his mind.

prophecy……

After all, what difference does everything he knows have with the prophecy to the world?

Well... there is still a difference -

The future that the prophet sees changes with the actions of the observer; but the plot he knows is a story with a fixed ending.

He had already messed up the story, and he was going to change it even more.

When people come into this world, they always want to leave something behind.

This world gave him a second life, so peace is the best gift he can give back.

Wade thought so as he walked towards the stone basin in the center.

Thanks to my brothers and sisters for their support! I finally got my second badge!!!

Chapter 191: Potion: It can only be drunk

In the stone basin, there is a full basin of emerald green liquid, and the surface of the liquid is also very smooth.

Dumbledore reached out his hand, but couldn't touch the liquid. He used some complicated spells to test it, muttering something silently, and after a long time, he put away his wand.

Looking at Wade who was waiting quietly beside him, Dumbledore said: "This liquid cannot be separated or scooped out, it cannot be made to disappear or deform by spells, and even hands cannot be put into it..."

"In this case, Vader, how do you think we can discover the secrets it hides?"

"Drink it," Vader said.

Dumbledore nodded: "Indeed, this is the only way."

"Just now when Regulus tried to attack Sirius, I saw traces of the curse on his body, the same as the liquid in this stone basin."

Vader said softly, "He must have drunk a lot of this liquid before he died."

"Voldemort does not consider his subordinates as his companions, but to treat a young man who was once loyal to him in this way..."

Dumbledore didn't finish his words. He shook his head with pity and conjured up a tall crystal goblet in his hand.

Vader frowned and said, "You don't want to drink it yourself, do you, Professor?"

"Oh, I want to see how it works."

Dumbledore said lightly, "Compared to you, my magic is more resistant to the harm of the Dark Arts. And I believe that Voldemort should not want to kill anyone who comes to this island immediately."

"So you're risking your life just based on guesswork?"

Wade disagreed, "Why don't we move it along with the stone basin and take it outside to deal with it?"

"I'm afraid not, Wade," Dumbledore said. "I think you should have discovered that this stone basin, stone pillars, and everything on the island are actually closely integrated with the entire lake and cave. Unless we have the ability to move all the objects in the cave together, there is no way to take the stone basin out."

"There is no imminent crisis that requires us to sacrifice ourselves to deal with it." Wade suggested: "We can find a very heinous prisoner to drink it - there are plenty of such people in Muggle prisons."

Dumbledore stared at him intently.

"Doesn't sound consistent with secular moral values?" Wade said frankly: "Professor, I am not as righteous and kind as you. If I have to sacrifice someone, I would rather choose a criminal than someone I am familiar with."

Dumbledore was silent for a while before he said, "No... Wade... You thought too highly of me."

"I can't say I have much sympathy for a death row inmate. I have seen too many innocent lives brutally harmed... I have also hurt others."

"But even so... I never think it's right to sacrifice others for your own goals, even if that person is a bad person."

"Ved, life is more important than we think... Even if we kill for the sake of justice, our soul will be hurt."

"Voldemort didn't care about it. He was afraid of death, but he thought that other people's lives were insignificant. But he was wrong, Vader. He made a very big mistake, and his soul was broken."

Wade subconsciously thought: Didn't Voldemort split his soul in order to make the Horcruxes?

Then he realized that according to Dumbledore, even without the Horcrux, when Voldemort killed people, his soul had actually changed, but he himself was not aware of it.

And then he realized that even though Dumbledore might have done this, he was here.

In Dumbledore's eyes, Wade is a gifted child but he has a unclear sense of good and evil and may make mistakes at any time.

Everything that people around him say and do will influence his view of the world.

He is watching.

Therefore, Dumbledore would never achieve his goals by sacrificing others, even if this was the method with the least cost.

Vader sighed and said, "I understand, but I want to try my way, is that okay?"

"Certainly," said Dumbledore.

Vader opened his bag and a serious-looking man jumped out.
