With the official showdown between Snape and Dumbledore, the two began to compete for influence and dominance around the savior.
Harry Potter would be called to the principal's office by Dumbledore at least once every two or three days for a talk.
Snape, on the other hand, would use insinuations to learn the content of the conversation, and then refute each one in private to ensure that his stepson would not be deceived again.
During the confrontation between the two, a large number of secrets that were originally hidden were revealed to the public.
Especially after learning that the lightning-shaped scar on his forehead was actually Voldemort's Horcrux, Harry fell into shock and panic, and even had nightmares for several days.
Because he had faced the remnant soul of Voldemort when he was in first grade, and he knew very well what kind of evil, dark, twisted and sick guy he was.
When he thought about coexisting with the other person's soul fragments for more than ten years, he felt a shuddering fear.
Every morning when I get up and wash my face and brush my teeth, I stand in front of the mirror and stare at the scar on my forehead for several minutes.
But the biggest change that happened to Harry Potter was that he began to become like Hermione, crazy and eager to learn all kinds of magical knowledge.
Not only did he listen carefully in class, he also spent almost all his spare time either in the library or going to Snape's office to ask him about spells, potions and other things he didn't understand.
As for even the favorite Quidditch game has been forgotten, there is no time to participate in training.
This aroused strong dissatisfaction from Oliver Wood, captain of the Gryffindor team.
But whether he went to complain to his dean, Professor McGonagall, or threatened Harry to kick him out of the team, the latter remained unmoved at all.
Because compared with the huge threat posed by the Horcrux in the scar, the so-called sports most popular among wizards are not worth mentioning.
Obviously, the reason why Harry is so crazy about acquiring knowledge is to find a way to separate Voldemort's Horcrux from his body.
But this is obviously not an easy task, at least not something that can be done in a short time, otherwise Dumbledore would have done it long ago.
As a side effect of the crazy acquisition of knowledge, his grades in various subjects began to improve rapidly, and his personality also underwent great changes under external stimulation. He seemed to have become the most improved student in the second grade together with Ron, who was also enlightened.p>
If nothing else happens, after this semester ends, the trio will completely break away from their original life trajectories and embark on a completely different path.
All these changes gave Albus Dumbledore, who likes to control everything secretly, a strong sense of crisis.
Especially when he learned that his most trusted vice-principal, Minerva McGonagall, had resurrected his younger brother and lover with the help of magical mercury, he felt as if he had been betrayed by the entire world.
After all, it was because Snape resurrected Lily that the two eventually had a fierce confrontation and conflict over how to treat Harry Potter.
Looking at the scene of students gathering in groups of twos and threes to play and play outside the window, the greatest wizard of our time couldn't help but sigh slightly, and sighed with a slightly bitter voice: "I am really old, and I actually think about the possibilities of the future.
Scared by the changes happening."
"No, what scares you is not the future, but the unknown that is beyond your control.
Admit it, Albus, you have always been a person with a strong desire to control.
Because of this, you have been careful to avoid touching power, for fear that you will get lost in it and become another person.
Because essentially, we are all the same kind of people.
It's just that I chose to release my nature, but you chose to hide it."
Grindelwald's phantom suddenly appeared out of thin air, unceremoniously exposing the old lover's hypocrisy.
"So you think I did something wrong in my treatment of Harry?" Dumbledore asked without looking back.
Grindelwald sneered and responded: "Not just on this matter! Everything you have done recently is on the opposite side of the entire magical world. If this situation continues to develop, maybe you will end up like me.
The fate of."
Instantly!
Dumbledore fell silent.
He understood that the other party was not being alarmist, but that it might actually happen.
After all, in the beginning, Gellert Grindelwald also won the support of thousands of wizards with his speeches, and created such a huge outcry that even the International Federation of Wizards had to respond.
If my original adventurous plan had not succeeded in the end, maybe the world today would be different.
In this process, those who originally enthusiastically supported Grindelwald completely changed their attitudes in a very short period of time, and even labeled him the famous "Dark Wizard".
You must know that before this, he was hailed as a great man who could bring changes to the wizarding world, and his reputation and influence were exactly the same as Dumbledore's today.
Seeing that his old lover had understood what he wanted to express, Grindelwald continued to himself: "Since you already know that you are old, you should let go and leave the future to young people. Especially Suo Suo.
He will definitely grow into a great wizard far beyond you and me. With him here, Voldemort is nothing."
"That's why I feel uneasy. Because in this era, no wizard can compare with Soth. Once he takes the wrong path, he will inevitably lead the entire magical world into a terrible abyss."
Dumbledore's tone revealed strong concern.
In his opinion, Zuo Si's growth rate is too amazing, and he has an incredibly strong self-awareness and will not be affected by any external factors at all.
This means that once Zuo Si decides to do something, even Hermione, who is currently closest to him, cannot stop him.
"That's why I say that your desire for control is too strong. Who can say clearly what will happen in the future? What's more, even if you go all out, how long can you suppress Soth? One year, two years, three years? I
I can guarantee that if he continues at this rate, he might take your current position next year."
When he said these words, Grindelwald's eyes and expressions clearly showed a hint of mockery.
Because when he chose to admit defeat and quit decades ago, he had completely given up everything.
But Dumbledore is different!
Since the latter has betrayed his original vow to change the status quo of the magical world, he must shoulder the corresponding obligations to ensure the peace and tranquility of the magical world.
This heavy sense of responsibility inevitably leads to the illusion that he is the savior and the last hope.
That’s why I always want to arrange everything properly and suppress all uncontrollable risk factors.
"Then according to your opinion, you should let it go?
Do you know what a huge impact and shock the second magic stone's resurrection power has brought to the originally peaceful magic world?
Whether it is the United Kingdom, Europe, or the Americas on the other side of the ocean, there is an undercurrent surging in order to compete for the right to use this magic stone.
Many dark wizards even secretly joined forces to launch an attack to snatch it away.
I dare to bet with my beard that Voldemort must be hiding in the dark and waiting for an opportunity, planning to use the power of this magic stone to complete his resurrection.
But what about Soth?
Just throw the Philosopher's Stone to those incompetent and corrupt officials at the Ministry of Magic and forget about it!
As the Headmaster of Hogwarts, I never deny his gifts and talents, but I cannot agree with this irresponsible behavior."
Dumbledore publicly expressed his inner dissatisfaction for the first time.
In this old man's view, Zuo Si was too casual when dealing with messy inventions, and even didn't care at all.
Whether it was giving Harry a magic scroll that was still in the research stage in the first grade, or customizing a wand and ring for him as long as he paid money, or allowing Fudge and a bunch of Ministry of Magic bureaucrats to use the second Philosopher's Stone,
He felt very uncomfortable having private transactions with those wealthy and powerful families.
But Grindelwald shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "Why do I feel that what you just said is caused by human greed and has nothing to do with Soth?
He just focuses more on the research that interests him and doesn't want to waste precious time and energy on boring nonsense.
If you have any objections to him, I would be more than happy to broker a deal for him to transfer to Beauxbatons or Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
I believe that Nicol Flamel will be very happy to have his alma mater accept such a genius who surpasses himself in the field of alchemy."
"Do you think I still have the ability to fire Soth now?"
A self-deprecating expression appeared on Dumbledore's face.
"To tell you the truth, if I dare to touch him now, the Hogwarts Board of Directors and the British Ministry of Magic will immediately join forces to expel me from the position of principal. After all, in the eyes of these people, the talent Soth represents
It is the future, which means huge benefits and benefits."
"Hahahaha! I never thought you would be here today." Grindelwald couldn't help laughing loudly.
He suddenly felt that the scene before him was simply a huge joke played by fate.
It is so ironic that Dumbledore, who claims to stand on the side of the interests of the majority, would be betrayed by the group he has been protecting all these years.
"You came today just to laugh at me, right?" Dumbledore turned around and asked.
Grindelwald stopped laughing and shook his head slightly: "No, of course not. I'm here to inform you that Soth has arrived in France and is visiting Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. If nothing else, his trip to Europe
You should find time to visit me."
