Chapter 86 Dumbledore



Chapter 86 Dumbledore

For Harry, Dumbledore is a very contradictory person. It is undeniable that Harry respects this elder, but he also does not understand this elder.Over the years, with Harry's understanding of additional souls, with Harry's exploration of the nature of magic, and with his deep communication with ancient magical races, he has become a part of what Dumbledore called "the greater good" meaning is becoming increasingly blurred.Even he didn't understand that Dumbledore was in that situation, he didn't train himself, except to learn Occlumency with Severus and go to that cave with Dumbledore to explore, he didn't complain about anything, just for Deng Li Duo did not fully agree with what he did back then.

As he grew older and had children, his views on Dumbledore have changed a lot, and at the same time, those facts have already happened:

For example, the death of Ariana at the beginning; for example, defeating Grindelwald to become the "Great White Mage"; The attitude is very wrong; for example, let the half-giant who likes to raise dangerous creatures enroll in school, continue to hire him as a teacher after he is fired, and connive at him to continue raising various dangerous creatures in the Forbidden Forest; for example, put dangerous people in School, let a group of students face danger; for example, at the beginning, deliberately distorted the facts to prevent him from knowing the real relationship between Severus and his parents; for example, never seriously exonerated Sirius.All of this might have been due to accident, good intentions, war, or some other high-ranking consideration, but, from the perspective of a calm adult, Harry felt that Dumbledore was biased.But the old man was dead, and ended up on the Astronomical Tower that day, so everything was settled.

After 12 years, stepping into this office on the eighth floor again, the air is less sweet, and all the golden decorations are gone.The Sorting Hat was sitting quietly on the shelf, and on the wall were portraits of previous principals, and most of the old people were dozing in the portraits.Harry looked at this familiar yet unfamiliar scene in a daze for a while, then turned around and asked Severus, "Who is using this office now?"

"Minerva. However, she will retire next year, so I plan to turn this into a reception room." Severus said.

"Professor McGonagall is retiring? Will her successor be Kleb? Then I have to consider transferring the children." Harry said thoughtfully, of course he knew that Severus would not use Professor like that.

"That's not okay..." Hearing Harry's serious thinking, Severus immediately objected nervously. If the children really changed schools, then he would only be able to see the children during the holidays. He didn't want this to happen. It happened, but soon he saw the mischievous smile on Harry's face, so he showed a helpless smile, "Harry, I wonder if you want to realize the life you once said?"

"You mean, stay as a professor? Severus, transfiguration..." If you stay as a professor, you can get along with Severus day and night, and take care of him and the two children. Harry is naturally a thousand willing Yes, but, in terms of Transfiguration, it wasn't that Harry wasn't good enough in this subject, but that he didn't want Severus to associate him with James at some point.

"Of course not, the Professor of Transfiguration is also your acquaintance, but she went to the Transfiguration Association this year for further studies." Severus thought that he should give Harry a heads up about this matter first.

However, the conversation between the two at this time also woke up the dozing portraits, and they saw Severus, Harry and two cuties.

"Oh, Severus, who is this? And those two children, Apollo and Artemis, right?" said a red-nosed and somewhat fat ex-headmaster, Harry remembered him, but really called Can't name him.

"Forsk, this is my mate." Severus said flatly.

"Good night everyone..." Harry said gracefully.

"Oh, you...you are...the godson of...the boy... Sirius?" said a wise old wizard with a goatee, Phineas Nigellus Black, in surprise.

"You... Black Potter?!" One of the early principals screamed almost chokingly, "Oh, Merlin, thank you for your gift!"

This time, many portraits that were usually too lazy to move also moved.It was as if seeing a rare and extinct animal suddenly appear alive in front of them.

"Anything you need, my lord sir," said another early headmaster.

"Thank you, I don't need it for now, I just came to visit Professor Dumbledore." Harry smiled, then walked towards the old man's portrait, "Professor Dumbledore."

"Hello, Harry, you've changed so much that I don't recognize you anymore." The blue eyes of the old man in the portrait flickered with anxiety.

"Yeah, 12 years, five years more than my seven years as a Gryffindor." Harry waved his hand, and a gorgeous silver-green armchair appeared behind Harry, and Harry gracefully Sit down, face to face with Dumbledore.

"Excellent Transfiguration, even Minerva can't do it so well." Dumbledore said, "Where have you been in 12 years?"

"Thank you for your compliment. I have traveled all over this world these years, Professor Dumbledore, this world is beautiful and huge, but without Sev, everything is a bit less flavorful." Harry turned his head Glancing at the man who was introducing previous principals to the twins, "However, I think we still have a lot of time, and we can go around together every year during the holidays."

"You've grown a lot, Harry," said Dumbledore. "I've heard from Minerva that your and Severus' children are excellent."

"They still need careful teaching and protection." Harry said indifferently, "Their health is not very good, I am always worried."

"Yes, Harry, you are no longer the Harry I remember at all, whether in appearance or temperament." Dumbledore in the portrait said.

"Maybe, I got help from some aliens," Harry said.

"But..." Dumbledore hesitated to say something.

"Professor, do you want to say that I am more like a Slytherin?" Harry said directly, "Or, to go further, you must be thinking now, am I Voldemort's soul piece?" He said coldly Dumbledore didn't express his uneasiness.

"No, I..." Dumbledore couldn't help but feel relieved after hearing Harry's words. If it was really Voldemort, he would definitely avoid this question.

Harry raised his hand, signaling Dumbledore not to explain, he looked at Dumbledore's blue eyes in the portrait, he still remembered when the sorting hat sorted him into Gryffindor, he was excited in other Gryffindors When the old man raised his glass to himself while yelling "We've got Potter!"

"I found that the original choice of the Sorting Hat was correct. Maybe, I was more suitable for Slytherin. Fate cannot be chosen, and there was no assumption in the past. I chose Gryffindor as I choose to be a Slytherin now." , these are me," said Harry.

"Why?" said Dumbledore, puzzled.

"Why? I also want to know, why did I choose this way? Every night when people are quiet, I always think, Why? When? How?..." Then, he calmed down slowly, completely, showing a decent smile, " Dumbledore, I was suspicious of the whole Gryffindor more than once when I was in school, I found that Gryffindor only had a savior in his eyes and no 'Harry'; after Hermione Granger cast spells on me indiscriminately when Ron Weasley fed Severus the last half of the potion, the Gryffindor me died. Dumbledore, or me now, may still have The bravery of Ryffindor, but many things are gone."

"In any case, you are still alive, and so is Severus." The portrait also had mixed feelings, and his tone was a little tired, "I heard that Hogwarts is proud of you for your achievements, Harry. "

"Even if I'm an out-and-out Dark wizard now?" Harry said sarcastically.

"Actually, Harry, Gryffindor College has not had dark wizards in history, including me, at best, I am not a real white wizard." Dumbledore's portrait said.

"Hmph, what a rare frankness..." Severus snorted coldly, came to his partner's side, took Harry's hand, and leaned on the armrest of the gorgeous chair.

"So, Harry, when are you going to reveal your identity?" Dumbledore didn't care about Severus' venom, in fact, he was slightly surprised that Severus' venom was much thinner.

"I don't have this plan. I don't want to be a savior. Jeremy Azaplet is enough to win me the respect and glory I deserve." Harry showed his resistance to this matter.

"Harry...well, even if you don't want to be the savior and you are no longer Gryffindor, then from the perspective of interests, it is a very good thing to reveal your identity. Of course, you have to choose the time." Dumbledore said , "Maybe you want to go back to Potter Manor?"

"Potter Manor?" Harry asked, remembering that half the recipe for the Styx water the children needed was there.

"I left a key with Aberforth, the key to Gringotts Vault 715. I'll tell him to give it to you. All the memories I have tell me there's a clue to Potter Manor there Ah, you can go with Severus, he hasn't been out of Hogwarts since he came out of Azkaban, let's go with him." Dumbledore said.

At this moment, a patron saint in the form of a lark flew into the office on the eighth floor.

"We're at the Three Broomsticks, box on the third floor." Lark said, and Severus recognized the voice of the SSS-level adventurer Silver Fox.

Then, the lark disappeared.

Harry stood up and said to Dumbledore, "So, Professor Dumbledore, stop here for today...ah, yes..."

He beckoned to the twins, and as they approached, Harry said, "This is my child and Severus's. Al, Arpu, this is Albus Dumbledore, my most respected elder." One of those, no matter what he's done."

The two children did not speak, but quietly bowed to the old man with white beard and hair.They had heard about the old man, who had made some very...controversial decisions about father and father's safety, but since father still respected him, the two of them were willing to respect him too.Besides, father didn't object, did he?

Afterwards, Harry took Severus' arm and left through the secret passage.Seeing the entrance of the secret passage they left slowly close and finally disappear, Dumbledore was in a daze.until--

"Dumbledore, have you talked to Harry?" Minerva McGonagall returned to her office.

"Yes." said the portrait.

"Happy?" Professor McGonagall asked.

"He has changed..." The portrait hesitated, "My memory tells me that he has changed."

"Is it getting better or worse?" McGonagall asked.

"I don't know either. After all, I'm not the real Dumbledore. He knows this, so..." the old man in the portrait said with some regret.

"Well, Gryffindor Tower is going crazy today, and those brats said they are going to question Harry tomorrow." Professor McGonagall had a helpless expression.

"Question?" The old man was puzzled.

"Yes, 'Why protect an evil Death Eater?!'" Professor McGonagall imitated the tone of the students, "Oh, Dumbledore, seriously, I really shouldn't have listened to you in the first place. Loeb stays with that trouble."

"Minerva..." Dumbledore said feebly.

"I told Kingsley, let him control those overly energetic lion cubs tomorrow." Professor McGonagall sat behind his desk, rubbing his temples very tiredly, "I hope, don't pissed off Harry..."
