Chapter 1403: A cruel choice

Views:

Of course, Albert didn't think Ollivander would know more secrets, but there were signs that there was a special connection between the two wands, and this special connection might be the key to Harry's victory over the mysterious man. Now this important key was destroyed by Harry himself, which made many people, including Ollivander, feel deeply uneasy.

"A similar opportunity will not appear a second time. The You-Know-Who is not a fool. After being defeated once, he will definitely find out the reason why the two wands have the Flashback Spell."

As if he saw through what Ollivander was thinking, Albert spoke up to shatter his unrealistic ideas.

Harry was waiting for him outside. The two of them turned into an empty room next door and were interrupted after chatting for a few words by a hurried knock on the door.

Hermione and Ron appeared outside the door and said that they wanted Albert to come over to discuss how to deal with the arrest of Mundungus.

"That guy is probably beyond saving. With the mysterious man's methods, after being tortured with Legilimency, he is completely ruined. Even if he is not dead, he is not far from death." Albert gave everyone an excuse not to save Mundungus, although even if he didn't say that, he had no intention of saving Mundungus.

In fact, they were more worried about the serious consequences of this incident, especially after Voldemort returned to Britain and stepped down himself. Without a powerful wizard like Albert to help hold back Voldemort, once a member of the Order of the Phoenix encountered that guy, they would almost certainly die.

Yes, Voldemort intended to destroy them.

With the accumulation of hatred, the two sides are almost at war to the death.

Therefore, they were anxious to find Albert to discuss countermeasures, in fact, they were also discussing how to deal with the impact caused by Voldemort's return to Britain.

Everyone is also worried that with the support of Voldemort, the Death Eaters will unscrupulously expand the number of Inferi, causing heavy casualties among Muggles in Britain, and even completely exposing the wizarding world to the Muggles.

However, Albert felt that the members of the Order of the Phoenix had not understood the situation at all and their worries were completely unnecessary.

Ever since Voldemort took control of the British Ministry of Magic, nothing is surprising.

All the Order of the Phoenix can do now is hide.

While waiting for the final battle, there are still many things worth doing, such as helping to train members of Dumbledore's Army to resist the Death Eaters.

As for the British wizarding world, it has been under the control of the Death Eaters from the very beginning.

They felt the changes brought about by Voldemort's return to Britain, but were unable to fully adapt to them, or they were unwilling to give up the few advantages they had previously gained.

Albert was too lazy to talk nonsense with some members of the Order of the Phoenix who were confused about the situation. He just asked Sirius and others to help train the students in the shelter and guide Harry to master the Fiery Fire Curse before leaving. As for those who wanted to coerce him to fight against the mysterious man, Albert could only say that they thought too much. He was never a selfless guy.

After that, Harry found Albert alone again, wanting to talk to him about what happened last night.

However, Albert brought up the matter of the Fiery Curse before Harry could speak.

After all, using the Felicia Felix might allow Harry to use Fiendfyre for a short period of time, but it is still unreliable, and the upper limit of what can be achieved after using the Felicia Felix depends on the individual.

Harry had heard similar words several times, and immediately said that he would continue to learn the Fiery Flame Charm.

"You seem to be pessimistic about invading Gringotts to find and destroy Horcruxes?" Harry actually didn't quite understand why Albert was unwilling to help. If he was willing, the probability of success would at least increase by several percent.

"I believe you will succeed because you have better luck than me." Albert saw through Harry's thoughts at a glance. This group of guys always wanted to treat him as free labor and wanted him to help with everything. Both the Order of the Phoenix and Harry wanted to throw the heavy burden to him. He didn't know whether they thought he was omnipotent or just treated him as a sucker.

This made Harry speechless, but when he thought of the invitation from the Order of the Phoenix, he understood Albert's annoyance, so he didn't dwell on the topic any more, but asked about what happened last night. Harry suspected that the magical change between his wand and Voldemort's was probably because a fragment of Voldemort's soul remained in his body.

"I think the same as you do. It may have something to do with your wands. But..."

"But what?"

"I suspect that even if you use other wands to fight, something incredible will still happen." Albert touched his forehead lightly with his fingers and continued, "At least it is related to the scar on your forehead. The power of the mysterious man is protecting you from being killed by him. Of course, there is also the power left by your mother. The mysterious man used your blood to resurrect himself, which makes the connection between you closer."

"Is this also your guarantee? If the mysterious man wants to kill you personally, it will not be an easy thing to do. That will only give you more opportunities to escape from his hands."

"Didn't you expect this to be the truth?" Harry reached out and touched the lightning scar on his forehead, mocking himself, "You're right, that guy is really stupid. If he had let other Death Eaters kill me, I'm afraid I would have died."

"Yes, so it was a wrong decision for him to personally kill you in order to demonstrate his power."

"So it was the mysterious man who protected me from the beginning to the end. How ironic!"

"He's stupid, not really. He just doesn't know these secrets." Albert explained, "He wants to kill you just to show his authority and intimidate other Death Eaters."

"But why did he give up again?"

"He probably thinks I'm more dangerous, so he doesn't want to waste any more time on you!"

"That's true," Harry nodded.

"You still have a chance, Potter." Albert said suddenly

"What chance?"

"You don't need to be too pessimistic. You and the mysterious man are very closely connected, which gives him some opportunities." Albert said meaningfully: "As long as the mysterious man uses the Avada Kedavra curse to kill you, you still have a chance to survive..."

"You mean... the You-Know-Who's soul fragment will die in my place?" Harry's eyes lit up, and he reached out to touch the lightning scar on his forehead, slightly opening his mouth as if he wanted to say something.

No one would want to die if they could.

This undoubtedly gave Harry hope.

"Yes, but I can't promise you anything."

"I'm willing to believe you."

"If the You-Know-Who really kills you with his own hands, he will also be seriously injured in a short period of time. This is related to the destruction of all his Horcruxes. That moment is the best time to end it all. This is also what Dumbledore asked me to do."

"Did Dumbledore expect all this?" Harry suddenly felt sorry for Voldemort.

Even the famous Dark Lord had already been arranged clearly!

"No, I expected it." Albert corrected, "As long as you can complete your task, this victory will belong to us."

"I will. Even if I die because of this, I won't regret it!" Harry said with a slight smile, "As long as I can take the mysterious man away, I will have no regrets."

“Who… come out!”

Albert waved his wand and the door of the room suddenly opened. Ginny was standing outside the door, looking a little frightened.

"Harry, is what Albert said true?" Ginny looked at Harry with pleading eyes.

"How much did you hear?"

"What?" Ginny looked at Albert in confusion, and after meeting his gaze, she couldn't help but shudder.

"How much did you hear?" Albert repeated.

"I, I only heard Harry's last sentence," Ginny stammered.

"Very good, I didn't lie!" Albert looked into Ginny's eyes for a moment, then turned to Harry and said, "I'll leave her to you."

"Wait!" Harry felt extremely headache as he looked at Albert who left directly, then looked at Ginny, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have provoked you." Harry looked guilty.

Ginny bit her lip and said, "I don't regret it."

Outside the room, Albert looked at Hermione and asked, "Why do you do that?"

"I think Ginny has the right to know the truth, otherwise it would be too cruel to him, and didn't you agree?" Hermione didn't think Ginny could hide it from Albert.

It is undeniable that Albert acquiesced to Ginny hearing some of the news.

"Don't force yourself to do some things, otherwise you may end up with bad intentions." Albert had no intention of staying any longer and left the shelter quietly.
