Chapter 413 Confession

In Dumbledore's office in the forest villa, Mike and Dumbledore sat opposite each other, neither of them speaking.

Michael lowered the brim of Flitwick's lucky hat on his head to prevent Dumbledore from seeing clearly his current expression.

To be honest, Dumbledore is indeed a respectable person. Although he has made some mistakes in his life, in general, he has always worked hard for the safety of the entire wizarding world.

Mike has actually always respected Dumbledore deep down in his heart, but unfortunately, the interests and ideas of both parties are in conflict.

What Mike wants is to use powerful force to reverse the status of mixed-race and Muggle wizards in the shortest possible time and even directly promote the integration of wizard society and Muggle society. Although Dumbledore has been working hard for blood equality, But he prefers moderate methods.

Once Mike's plan is implemented, a terrifying war will begin. Countless people will surely sacrifice their lives for their own benefit, and the entire wizarding society will be in chaos.

Dumbledore would never allow this.

As Dumbledore is the most powerful white wizard in the world today, once he comes forward, his plan will inevitably suffer a devastating blow.

In this case, for the greater good, Dumbledore cannot stay.

Thinking of this, Mike sighed and said slowly:

"Principal Dumbledore, you should have already guessed something, right? About the key to Voldemort's resurrection."

In the face of Mike's question, Dumbledore did not speak, but made a gesture of invitation, indicating to Mike to continue speaking.

"Huh, Horcruxes, Horcruxes, Principal Dumbledore." Mike continued, "The reason why Voldemort was able to resurrect was with the help of the power of Horcruxes. Do you still remember the notebook that made Percy lose control in the second grade? It It was one of Voldemort's Horcruxes. Percy at that time did so many weird things because he was controlled by Tom Riddle's soul in the Horcrux. But luckily, that Horcrux had been destroyed by me. ”

As he spoke, Mike waved his palm.

A ball of light blue mist appeared out of thin air, forming a three-dimensional image of a notebook between the two of them.

Dumbledore on the opposite side frowned when he heard this. He was keenly aware of the key point in Mike's words and said seriously:

"You just said 'one', right? In other words, Tom should have more than one Horcrux?"

"Yes, in fact, the Ravenclaw diadem that was later hidden in the Room of Requirement was also one of Voldemort's Horcruxes. At that time, I didn't know that there was such a thing as a Horcrux, but I was just wondering why there was something very similar to the notebook in the diadem. Similar souls, so I investigated the matter. Finally, I learned about the existence of Horcruxes from the book "Decryption of Advanced Black Magic", and through Ms. Green, I learned that the person who defrauded her of the crown was Voldemort. Only then did I finally know that the crown and notebook were both Voldemort's Horcruxes, and they were also the key to his resurrection."

Dumbledore listened quietly to Mike's story, his brows furrowed even more.

Mike was waiting for his response expressionlessly. Mike knew very well that if all the plots were to proceed according to the original work, Dumbledore would have known about the existence of Voldemort's Horcruxes long ago.

But unfortunately, due to the appearance of Mike, many clues disappeared, which made Dumbledore completely unprepared, so he now needs more time to react.

Finally, the frowning Dumbledore turned his attention to Mike in front of him again, and said angrily:

"That is to say, you discovered the existence of Voldemort's Horcrux as early as the third grade, but you did not tell any professor. Moreover, you were also the prisoner who broke into the forbidden book area, and you stole it from there. A lot of forbidden knowledge, and started to learn black magic. Originally, everyone was still wondering why you suddenly mastered such powerful black magic and used it so skillfully. It turns out that you have already started to learn these things."

"Principal Dumbledore, I admit that I was wrong about concealing the Horcrux, but is there something wrong with your other focus?" Mike's expression was a little weird, and he was stunned for a moment before saying angrily, "About my sneaking into I don’t think the matter of learning black magic in the forbidden book area is the key. Do you still want to expel me at this time?”

Mike's words were not polite at all, and Dumbledore was not angry at all. He stared into Mike's eyes while his right hand continued to tap the table, making a rhythmic tapping sound.

After a while, Dumbledore's frown relaxed, he stretched his palms and said:

"Okay, I admit, the issue of the restricted book area is really not the key now. I'm just surprised that you started violating such rigid school rules as early as the third grade."

As soon as these words came out, Mike's eyebrows twitched again. Seeing this, Dumbledore immediately changed the subject and said:

"Okay, let's not talk about this. Go on, what else did you do after discovering Voldemort's Horcrux?"

"The making of Horcruxes is a very difficult and dangerous job. After all, it requires splitting the soul, so even if most people make Horcruxes, they will only make one. But Voldemort was different. He made two at once. It can be said that he is a complete madman." Mike leaned back on the chair and said with a relaxed expression, "Since he is a madman, we cannot use common sense to speculate. Since he created two Horcruxes, , so is it possible that there are other Horcruxes?

I immediately thought of the relics of the other three giants. After all, for every wizard who comes from Hogwarts, collecting all the relics of the four founders is a cool thing. So I started looking for the other three relics. Of course, I have no interest in the Sword of Gryffindor. After all, it must not be a Horcrux, otherwise you would have discovered it long ago. And after all the hard work, I finally got the Hufflepuff Gold Cup. "

Hearing this, Dumbledore fell into an extremely nervous state. His whole body was constantly leaning forward towards Mike, and his expression was very serious.

Seeing this, Mike suddenly became interested. He stopped talking in a very naughty manner and started drinking the coffee on the table.

Dumbledore's brows furrowed again. He knocked on the table several times in dissatisfaction and made an impatient sound, urging Mike to continue.

A smile bloomed on Mike's face. He put down the coffee cup, began to lean forward, and finally whispered into Dumbledore's ear:

"I discovered that Hufflepuff's golden cup was also Voldemort's Horcrux, so I destroyed it."

Dumbledore took a breath, leaned back on the chair and said in a daze:

"That means that the remaining Slytherin's locket should also be Tom's Horcrux?"

"That's right, Professor. You really have extraordinary intelligence. I guess the Sorting Hat must have wanted to sort you to Ravenclaw."

Dumbledore looked away from Mike coldly and ignored his joke, but continued:

"So have you found the last locket?"

"Of course I found it, but I encountered some troubles during the process of obtaining it. This is why I tell you all this. I need your help."

"Tell me about it."

"The pendant is now in the hands of Chris Flint, the little patriarch of the Flint family." Mike spread his hand and said, "I once asked him for a trade, but it's a pity that he He didn’t want to give the pendant to me, and even made a fake one to fool me.”

Hearing this, Dumbledore nodded and said very calmly:

"Understood, I will ask him to hand over the locket. So where are the remaining three Horcruxes?"

As soon as these words came out, it was Mike's turn to be dumbfounded. He looked at Dumbledore who looked calm in a daze, and after a while he said:

"How do you know that Voldemort has seven Horcruxes? According to my guess, he only has six Horcruxes!"

"I know Tom very well." Dumbledore finally smiled. He seemed to be happy to see Mike's surprise, and even the smile on his face was a bit teasing. "Don't forget, I was him at the time. Professor. Tom, a kid, has been fascinated by the number seven since he was a child. He thinks it is a magical number. So if he wants to make a Horcrux, the number will only be seven."

Now Mike was convinced. He shook his head helplessly, leaned back on the chair again and said:

"Okay, then I won't give in. If Voldemort really has seven Horcruxes, then I should have destroyed four."

As he spoke, Mike waved his hand again, and a large ball of light blue mist suddenly formed the shape of a crown and a golden cup in the air. When the last ball of light mist gradually turned into a python, Mike said:

"You should already know the first three, but the fourth one should be a surprise."

Looking at the lifelike python composed of blue light mist in mid-air, Dumbledore murmured:

"Is this the python that attacked Arthur?"

"Yes, it is also one of Voldemort's Horcruxes. I told you about Harry's dream at that time, but you didn't take it seriously, so I could only send people to protect Ron's family. Unexpectedly This time I caught a big fish!”

Mike said excitedly. He was really proud of Nagini. Normally, Nagini should be the most difficult Horcrux to kill around Voldemort, but Voldemort was so arrogant that he took it without permission. A key creature like Nagini is sent out on field duty!

When he thought of this, Mike felt so happy that he wanted to dance.

"So the person who protected Arthur that night was also sent by you."

Dumbledore's serious tone made Mike stop his somewhat restless arms and turned his head to look at Dumbledore again.

At this moment, Dumbledore looked very happy, and even bent down and bowed to himself.

"Thank you, Mike. If it weren't for you, Arthur would probably have died."

This salute frightened Mike, and he quickly bowed to Dumbledore, with an even wider angle than Dumbledore.

What a joke, although he and Dumbledore are destined to be enemies, Dumbledore is a respected elder, and his life will be shortened if he is saluted by such an elder!

Thinking of this, beads of sweat appeared on Mike's forehead.

Fortunately, Dumbledore's bow did not last long. He quickly straightened up and said sincerely:

"To be honest, Mike, I really didn't expect you to have worked so hard secretly and achieved such outstanding achievements. Compared with you, us old guys seem very useless. I really Thank you very much."

"You are serious, I just did what I should do."

As Mike said this, he also straightened up.

"As a senior, I am really happy to have a student like you, but I also feel a little guilty. After all, it should be our job to deal with Voldemort." Dumbledore said with a smile, "Then the next work will be left to us. Well, I will find all the remaining three Horcruxes and deal with them."

"Do you already know what the last two Horcruxes are?"

Mike asked knowingly.

He wanted to test Dumbledore's attitude towards Harry. At the same time, he was worried that Dumbledore could not find the location of the Resurrection Stone ring. If Dumbledore really didn't know anything about the Resurrection Stone, then he wouldn't mind giving it to him again. He has some tips.

But it turned out that his worries were completely unnecessary. The smile on Dumbledore's face became even brighter and he laughed loudly:

"I said, I used to be Tom's teacher, and I know him very well. So I actually already know what the remaining two Horcruxes are. But compared with other Horcruxes, these two Horcruxes are It’s extremely dangerous, so just leave it to us.”

Mike nodded, but the expression on his face was a little unpleasant.

Dumbledore's refusal to tell him the specific information about the two remaining Horcruxes had already shown his attitude towards Harry to a large extent.

Suddenly, Mike felt a little uncomfortable, took a deep breath and said directly:

"Harry is also Voldemort's Horcrux, right?"

As soon as he said this, the expression on Dumbledore's face disappeared. He looked at Mike blankly, the expression on his face became extremely complicated.

"How did you know..."

"It's not hard to guess. After all, Harry's brain is the same as Voldemort's. When I think about the existence of Horcruxes, it's hard for me not to doubt Harry's identity!"

"Yes." Dumbledore said expressionlessly, "I can't hide this from you."

"What are you going to do?"

Mike questioned, staring directly into Dumbledore's eyes, waiting for his answer.

Dumbledore was silent. Faced with Mike's sharp eyes, he instinctively hid.

But he soon adjusted back and started to look at Mike again.

The two stared at each other for a long time, during which Dumbledore didn't say a word, and the office fell into an eerie silence.

Gradually, Mike was about to leave. From Dumbledore's silence, he already knew Dumbledore's answer.

But just as he was about to leave, he heard Dumbledore say in a trembling but firm voice:

"Although it is difficult, if things really come to a point where there is no room for recovery, then the only option is to sacrifice Harry."
