Chapter 322 Blood Relatives Choice

"Not just you, including Harry, many people have asked me," Dumbledore said in a low voice: "Why is Harry being fostered in the Muggle world even though he is a wizard? Why can't Harry live there so well?" Unhappy and even suspected of being abused, I still insist on letting him continue to live in that family?”

"I don't deny it," Dumbledore paused before speaking slowly: "When I left Harry on the doorstep of his aunt's house, I knew the child would suffer. I knew I had sentenced him to Ten years of darkness and hardship... But first, I want to ensure that he survives."

"For reasons that even I can't clearly explain, the Dark Lord was defeated... There were rumors that he was dead and gone, but I never believed it. I firmly believe that he will come back one day..." Dumbledore continued Said: "And his remaining henchmen are still causing trouble everywhere, and the tragedy of the Longbottoms is one of them. I have to place Harry in what I think is the safest place... The family where Harry is staying may not be able to provide him with Warm, but still qualified in terms of providing basic living conditions.”

Jeffrey couldn't help but sneered and said, "The henchmen you are talking about are the Lestranges? Just a few of them?" Jeffrey's eyes were full of mockery, "Don't you look down on us? The special family?"

"I don't mean to look down on anyone," Dumbledore said solemnly: "At that time, the British wizarding world had just recovered from the chaos. Placing him in a Muggle family isolated from the wizarding world was the best choice in my opinion... And, I think, it's good for Harry's growth..."

"As a savior who saved the world before he could speak - all that awaits him will be all kinds of praise and flattery, which is enough to make any child dizzy." Dumbledore said firmly: "I think, Wouldn't it be better to let him grow up away from the past until he can accept it all, and then let him know?"

"Tsk, you sound nice..." Jeffrey continued: "This is the reason why you threw a baby who doesn't know how to resist you to the Muggles, thereby depriving him of family affection? And why do you think that we wave The Te family has no ability to educate him well and lead him to the right path? "

Dumbledore shook his head slightly. He really did not expect to meet such a sharp-tongued junior. However, in the matter of Harry, he may not have done it perfectly, but he had a clear conscience - from beginning to end, he firmly believed Based on that prophecy - the Dark Lord will make a comeback, and Harry is the key to ending everything, so there is no room for error in the cultivation of Harry's character - he will never allow any variables that are out of his control to appear!

"Indeed...but there is the last reason and the most important reason..." Dumbledore said: "Harry was able to destroy the Dark Lord when he was a baby. The real key is that his mother chose to die to protect him. In the hands of the Dark Lord, this is enough to inspire an ancient magic 'Guardian of Love'..."

Jeffrey frowned. Although there are different opinions on how Harry defeated the most powerful dark wizard in history, as a pure-blood family with a long history, the family has long made conclusions on various possibilities - Dumbledore The explanation given by Lido is indeed the most likely. This time, he did not speak to refute, but chose to wait for Dumbledore to continue.

"You have to admit, although saying this may seem a little arrogant on my part, my magical power should be one of the strongest in the world, right?" Dumbledore glanced around a few people and saw that no one had the intention to speak. Then he continued: "However, even I will inevitably make mistakes due to negligence, but magic is different..."

"Since we already know that the power that the Dark Lord fears is actually the power left by Harry's mother, then in order to keep this power, the only way is to find the blood relatives of the caster - Lily's only remaining relative in the world, her His biological sister Petunia Dursley is the only candidate..." "Although the Potter family is also Harry's relative, they do not meet the above conditions in this regard..." Dumbledore explained patiently: "This It’s because the caster is Lily, not James, which means it must be Lily’s blood relative, not Harry’s paternal blood relative.”

"By placing Harry in her family, I can use blood relationship as a bond to activate the blood contract magic and let the 'protection of love' continue from Harry's aunt..." Dumbledore said: "Thankfully , I made the right bet. Although Petunia was extremely reluctant, she finally chose to take Harry in, and the blood contract I cast was established. From now on, no evil force can harm Harry... "

What Dumbledore didn't say was that he was actually sure that Petunia would take Harry in because she didn't hate magic as much as she appeared on the surface. In fact, she was just jealous of her magically gifted sister.

The jealousy accumulated over the years, coupled with the influence of her rigid husband, did make her hate the magical world, but she still retained a trace of yearning for the magical world in the deepest part of her heart, and she was actually the one who took Harry in. The last chance to stay connected to the magical world.

"I can guarantee that this is definitely the best approach in my opinion, and it is also the greatest guarantee of the child's safety -" Dumbledore said: "This ancient magic is much more powerful than me. Under its protection, any threat to Wizards with unfavorable ideas about Harry can't even find where he lives."

This time, Jeffrey stopped talking. Instead, Charlus said: "Albus, you and I have known each other for many years. I trust your character. Harry's matter ends here... But this time, since You used the 'Phoenix Calling Order' - you were not willing to use it during the first Wizarding War. Obviously, the situation this time is far more serious than then..."

"You mean..." Dumbledore said hesitantly.

"Friendship is friendship." Charlus said: "You said, I am such an old man, and I have worked tirelessly to respond to your call, so I can forget about it myself - the family resources that I may need to use next, aren't they? There should be some compensation, so that I can also explain to my family. "

Dumbledore's eyes sparkled with unprecedented brilliance, and he said coldly: "What you want is Harry's invisibility cloak? That is the inheritance left to him by James. I have no right to make decisions for him!"

Charlus and his two sons looked at each other, and after a while he said: "Albus, you should think about it carefully - after all, our family has information that you are bound to get - the Dark Lord, the Dragon Shadow, and the mysterious Walpurgis Knights!”
