Chapter 53

Was Dumbledore a good guy?

In order to get rid of Voldemort, he could even sacrifice himself. From the perspective of the wizarding world, he was willing to die in order for the wizarding world of Ying to be freed from the terrifying shadow of Voldemort. Looking at it this way, Dumbledore was not only a good man, but even a great man.

Why was Harry's mother, Lily Evans, able to keep Harry from Voldemort in his heyday? This magic is not an ordinary spell, you can use it whenever you want, it has strict requirements for the conditions of use and the time of casting. It's too late to use it when the danger is imminent, and only before the danger arrives can there be enough time to cast this magic.

Solim knew very well why Voldemort would kill Harry. Because of Professor Trelawney's prophecy, Snape was a Death Eater loyal to Voldemort at the time, and he overheard the prophecy and told his master. It was Dumbledore's brother, Aberforth, who kicked him out. Could Dumbledore, who was on the scene, not know about the prophecy that Snape had eavesdropped?

Solim believed that this was all the result of Dumbledore's deliberate indulgence. Otherwise, on the night Trelawney made the prophecy, there would have been no way for Snape to escape from Dumbledore's hands, and Voldemort would have had no way of knowing that there was a prophecy about him.

What kind of role did Dumbledore play in the tragedy of the Potter family, although Solim had some speculation about this, but there was no evidence, and even if there was evidence that Dumbledore played an ignominious role in the tragedy of the Potter family, what could he do? Solim has always believed that Voldemort's death is an inevitable result, and the tragedy of the Potter family only accelerated Voldemort's demise, but the sacrifice of the Potter family is not meaningless, it has at least given the wizarding world of Ying Country a respite for more than ten years, and it has also allowed ordinary wizards who have been oppressed by Voldemort and his henchmen for a long time to spend more than ten years of peace.

As for Quirrell, it's even more telling. Of course, Dumbledore knew that Quirrell was in trouble, but what did he do when Quirrell deliberately attacked Harry on the court? The headmaster of Hogwarts did nothing, Quirrell was also a student of Hogwarts, that is, his student of Dumbledore, and he watched his former student be possessed and die step by step, but he watched from the sidelines.

Will Dumbledore have the power to save Quirrell, or will he have the ability to drive Voldemort out of him? These questions Solim didn't know, but Solim knew that even if he could, the cost would be great.

One of the reasons why Dumbledore used the Philosopher's Stone to set up this game for Voldemort was to understand Voldemort's current state. Another is to see clearly how Harry Potter will make choices in a life-threatening situation, the more critical the moment, the more you can see a person's character, and training Harry is actually secondary.

Harry Potter is the "savior", and wizards believe that he will finally defeat Voldemort and end the long-standing darkness of the wizarding world in Ying. But does Harry Potter himself have the qualifications? Does he have the qualities to carry the hopes of wizards?

Like this time: Will Harry surrender like a coward under the threat of Voldemort, or will he rise up like a fighter? As long as Harry was not a coward, Dumbledore naturally had a way to use Harry as a banner and gather hearts to resist Voldemort, who was preparing to make a comeback.

For this purpose, he didn't care if Quirrell lived or died. He watched his former student die, and he didn't tell everyone about Quirrell's rebellion against Voldemort.

Is this what a good person would do?

Solim wasn't as naïve as Harry. He doesn't have to distinguish between good and bad for a person, because people are complex animals. It's like Dumbledore, who is undoubtedly a good guy from the point of view of fighting Voldemort. But from the point of view of Quirrell's matter, watching Quirrell helplessly step by step towards death, such Dumbledore seems to be a ruthless person who can achieve his own goals and does not care about the life and death of others.

Pure "good" and pure "evil" do not exist at all in a creature like "man", man is a creature of contradictions. There are both good and evil sides, and chaos is the essence of human beings.

It is certainly despicable for a wicked person who does all kinds of evil and likes to take the suffering of others as his own pleasure, but will a person who is extremely upright and extremely responsible also make the people around him unhappy? Yes, people will have shortcomings, and when you have a person around you who keeps pointing out your shortcomings and constantly urging you to correct your shortcomings, will it make people feel bored and want people to stay away from this kind of person?

Solim didn't think much of Dumbledore about Quirrell's death. He wasn't an extreme Gryffindor, and Quirrell's affairs had nothing to do with Solim, and he didn't care if Quirrell lived or died at all.

Although Solim knew what choice Harry would make when he first met Voldemort, Dumbledore didn't know, he needed to see Harry's choice clearly, he needed to see Harry's personality clearly. Because Harry would play a vital role in Dumbledore's plans.

"Alright, let's put those temptations aside and start a real conversation, Professor. "

"Solim, you know what, when you give me the ring of the Gaunt family......"

“...... Temporarily...... It's 'temporary,' Professor, and there's a big difference. Solim reminded Dumbledore to be careful with his words.

"Well, it's 'temporary', I didn't sleep that night after you handed it over to me, I kept thinking about you, or your grandfather, what your purpose was, what you wanted from me. Now it's just the two of us, can you answer my question? I don't think what you want is my poor Fawkes' tears. "

Solim wasn't surprised that Dumbledore would doubt his purpose in giving him the Resurrection Stone, as anyone would be suspicious. Such a precious thing is all for fear that others will worry about it, but it is good for the two of them to take the initiative to give it to others, although it is only "temporary".

"Professor," Solim thought for a moment, thinking that it would be better to leave things open, after all, there were some questions that Solim would have to ask Dumbledore sooner or later. "You searched with that one in your early years for the Deathly Hallows, and you did. You must know all about them, don't you?"

Is it really for the Elder Wand?" Dumbledore thought for a moment.

"Early years...... Oh," Dumbledore chuckled, "you know, Solim, it's human beings who are young, and young people—all passionate, all whimsical, and Gellert and I were trying to get power, even though it seems to be a very cheesy pursuit. With that, Dumbledore pulled out his Elder Wand.

It was the first time Solim had seen an Elder Wand, fifteen inches in length - that was extremely long in a wand. Because the vast majority of wands are between ten and thirteen inches. In front of this legendary wand, Solim was also attracted to the eye, and took a serious look at the famous "Staff of Destiny".

"It is said that the owner of the Elder Wand is invincible. But what?" Dumbledore sighed, "and who of his masters will end well?"

"It's a very powerful wand, very powerful, and I can still say for sure. But it's not necessarily stronger than your wand. Dumbledore glanced at the ring on Solim's right hand.

"Kidding, Headmaster. Solim retorted, "I don't deny that Mr. Ollivander is an excellent wandsmith. However, I don't think even the dragon wand he made would be stronger than the Elder Wand. "

"I'm talking about your other wand. Mr. Selwyn. Dumbledore smiled and gestured to Solim's right hand.
