"Professor, I have one more thing to tell you."
After Dumbledore made clear arrangements for Tom, William hesitated and said.
"Earlier, I was walking with Cedric and Cho in the Forbidden Forest, and we met Ronan."
"Are you sure it's a walk?" Dumbledore said with a smile in his eyes.
"That's another word... digestion."
"It's a good habit to go to the Forbidden Forest to eat in the middle of the night." Dumbledore smiled, not paying attention to William's night tour.
"Ronan...I remember that centaur, a guy with a good temper."
"Ronan told me that the epsilon star in Hydra constellation is getting brighter and brighter. It even surpassed the heart of Hydra in terms of brightness last night."
"And Voldemort's Horcrux was revived last night, do you think this sign refers to this incident?" Dumbledore said calmly.
"That's right, isn't it?"
"I know what you mean, William. You want to say that since the centaur's prophecies are so accurate, they can help us." Dumbledore said.
William nodded.
"William, if you know the centaurs, you know that they often say a word: 'The centaur's prophecies don't focus on details.'"
"What do you mean?"
"The horse people watch the sky at night, and they can only predict the overall fate of a species and a nation, but they cannot predict what happens to a certain person."
"We want to know who the next wizard will be to help Voldemort, we want to know what Tom will do in America.
But the horse people can't give us the answer. They never focus on these details, but only observe the future trend.
For example, more than once I've heard Fizeren say, 'People in the wizarding world are just living through a brief period of peace between two wars.War Mars is shining brightly above us, suggesting that fighting will surely resume soon. '"
"It doesn't need to be said by them, I have also observed it. But can they tell us more detailed details?
Like who wins and how? "
"The thing about last night..." William said doubtfully.
"You can understand it this way." Dumbledore sighed: "Tom's resurrection will greatly affect the future direction of Britain, and even the direction of the entire wizarding world.
That's why the horses learned of this situation by accident... We can't expect them to be so lucky every time. "
Dumbledore crossed his fingers and added:
"And even if they knew more details, they wouldn't tell us, and I don't want to hear them."
"Why?" William wondered.
"Remember the number divination you mentioned?"
William nodded.
Dumbledore said softly: "Professor Victor said that the attack would happen seven times, and finally failed.
Seven times was accurate, Tom did use the seven basilisks, but the prophecy said it failed...who the hell failed?
Did Tom fail?He did lose his body, but there is still the possibility of resurrection.
Have we failed?
You prevented Riddle from being resurrected, turned him into a shadow, and the people who were attacked didn't die... But, William, you don't think you succeeded, because Riddle has become a difficult foresight for us. "
"The prophecy is so ambiguous that it has been shown countless times that it is foolish to place too much faith in such things!
Voldemort believed too much in a certain prophecy back then, which made him what he is now.
We can only try to use it, but we can't take it as a given result, otherwise it will mislead you. "
William hesitated for a moment, "But there is a prophecy, I am very puzzled, and I have been thinking about it for a long time...Professor, have you read "The Prediction of Tyco Dodonus?"
"I read it many years ago." Dumbledore raised his hand again, and another book flew over from the bookshelf.
"It's a very interesting book, and I even went back and savored it later. Certain prophecies happened to people around me."
"Are you wondering about this paragraph?" Dumbledore turned to a certain page and read softly:
"Oh, cruel devil!
O broken soul!
The self-exile of the year,
Reborn from the gift of death. "
"Who do you think you're talking about?" William asked. "There are currently only two Dark Lords..."
"To be honest." Dumbledore pushed the half-moon glasses, his voice was low: "For many years, I thought it was Grindelwald."
"Isn't Grindelwald imprisoned in Nurmengard?"
"Do you think a Nurmengard can hold Grindelwald? He built it in the first place."
"Then why didn't the original Dark Lord come out?"
"Because..." Dumbledore took a deep breath, "Gellert promised me that he would never leave Nurmengard unless I died."
William coughed his throat, always feeling that something was wrong.
This doesn't look like a mortal enemy, but rather like a breakup between lovers, a bit like "I will never see each other again in this life".
"Since he promised you not to come out...why do you still think it's him?"
"William, I don't know if I should trust Gellert." Dumbledore's voice was a little frustrated.
"He is very good at deceiving people and deceiving feelings...Let's put it this way, he is the most liar I have ever met. I can't tell...Which of his words is true and which is false."
"So you think, he exiled himself in Nurmengard, and he will come out sooner or later?"
"I don't know." Dumbledore shook his head.
"But I think the prophecy is not about Grindelwald, but about Tom Riddle." William retorted.
"Riddle was a broken soul, and he said he was exiled in the diary by Voldemort.
He mentioned Reaper in the Slytherin Chronicles, and the Deathly Hallows.
There are indications that he also meets the conditions of the prophecy. "
"Hallows, Hallows," murmured Dumbledore, "a hopeless man's dream!"
"But they are real." William thought of his ring, and Nico's alchemy book.
"So, you think that the god of death in the prophecy refers to the god of death among the three brothers?" Dumbledore asked.
"Yeah, Reaper's Legacy may refer to the new Deathly Hallows."
"If Tom does go after Death, and try to get the Three Hallows," said Dumbledore, "I shall be very happy, for that is the fool's bait.
William, man can never conquer the god of death... No matter which version of the three brothers, we ridicule the short-sightedness of the boss and the second child, admire the wisdom of the third child, and laugh at the god of death for being fooled.
But have you noticed that in the final ending, the third child also died, and his soul was taken away by the god of death.
The Deathly Hallows... Reaper's hoax.Anyone who tries to find the god of death will surely die. "
William nodded thoughtfully.
"Professor, I'll go back first."
"Have a good rest, let Harry at the door come in later, and give me time for a song."
William snorted and left the principal's office.
Dumbledore sat sluggishly on the chair, showing a decadent temperament that had never been shown in front of others.
After a while, he got up and walked into a room.
This is a modest room.
Against the wall stood a large object, covered with black velvet.
Dumbledore stood there, thinking for a moment, then walked over to the covered object and ripped the velvet off.
The Mirror of Erised appeared.
He hadn't looked in the mirror for a year since the Quirrell incident.
Now he mustered up his courage and looked in the mirror.
I saw young Dumbledore and young Grindelwald lying on a grass field.
Dumbledore turned his head away, resisting the urge to put the mirror back on.He pulls himself together and lifts his blue eyes.
"Gellert, are you willing to be my lover?" the young Dumbledore asked courageously.
"Albus, I must remind you again that I am a man."
Grindelwald stretched out his hand to block the dazzling sunlight, and his golden hair glistened in the light.
He said seriously: "Are you really sure you want to be lovers with me?"
Dumbledore lowered his head, meditating, and raised his head, showing a determined gaze.
"Life is short, why not give it a try?"
near,
Deep kiss!
The scene changes, and the old Grindelwald smiles, sitting in a dusty chair, surrounded by solitude.
