Chapter 266 The end

Luke didn't care at all what Dumbledore said.

He can accept compliments, and there is nothing wrong with criticism.People have many faces.Luke never denied that he had an angelic side and a demonic side,

It's just relative, the side that belongs to the devil will not be easily revealed.But how could such a thing be hidden from Dumbledore?It doesn't matter whether Dumbledore is his good side or his bad side.

At most, he is treated as a person similar to Grindelwald.Whether it is Luke or Grindelwald, they are fundamentally different from Voldemort.

The change that Voldemort said has nothing to do with other people. It is just a slogan that can make him a person in power. After completing the change, those who can take advantage of it must be those who choose to stand by his side. .Neither is neutral.

Whether it is Luke or Grindelwald, they are not working hard for the power they have.What they want to do is to make the world a better place for them.

If Dumbledore is a help, then they will be very happy. It must be a great help to have such a powerful comrade by their side.But if Dumbledore stood opposite them, they would not hate it.Because this is not a personal grievance, but a conflict of ideas between the two parties.They are all for the good of the world, but in different ways and means.

So, even now, Dumbledore said that Luke and Voldemort are completely different people, and Luke really doesn't think that Dumbledore will support his actions much. It can even be said that Dumbledore will not make trouble for him. , is already the biggest support.

It's not that he doesn't like change.When he was young, he was also a master who was keen to change the world.But Dumbledore, who was getting more and more imprinted by life as he got older, couldn't accept too radical changes.

Therefore, not only did Grindelwald's actions not get his support, but even the two former partners stood on opposite sides.

Now, Dumbledore is no longer facing a peer who is equal to him.It's a young self or a young Grindelwald.And he is still his student, that is to say, he still has a certain influence on Luke. Even if Luke's thinking is a little extreme, he can always make some changes.

But unlike Luke, Tom immediately blew up after hearing Dumbledore's evaluation.

The magic power in that diary condensed again, and a young soul rose from the diary.Such a form consumes a lot of mana, and once used, it takes a lot of time to replenish.After all, it was just a Horcrux, and he couldn't produce magic power by himself after all.

But in this way, that little sound-proof barrier couldn't stop him from speaking.

When Dumbledore saw that familiar yet unfamiliar face, he couldn't help showing a nostalgic expression again.

Luke glanced at him, but is it understandable that old people like to reminisce about the first half of their lives?

"You say he's different from me?" Tom looked very emotional. ..."I don't believe you don't know what he did in this school, let alone that he didn't do anything in this school. Don't you know what he did to Harry Potter in the Chamber of Secrets?" ?”

"Okay, then I'll tell you!"

"The savior you created, the future you rely on, is about to take the shape of this guy!"

He gritted his teeth and said in a very ironic tone: "Harry Potter is about to be domesticated by Luke Gaunt! Now you actually say that he is different from me? What are you thinking! "

Facing the information that Tom revealed, neither Dumbledore nor Luke had the slightest change in their expressions.

Like Tom said, Dumbledore couldn't possibly have been ignorant of what Luke was doing.It was impossible for him to be totally indifferent to Harry's current state of mind.

but……

"How Harry chooses is up to him." Luke said in a sarcastic tone, "It's a bit imprudent to judge the nature of the matter just by looking at it, Tom."

Did Luke do anything unreasonable to Harry?No, even the words in the Chamber of Secrets just now were selectively telling the truth, and deliberately interrupted Harry's emotional sublimation towards himself.As for using Harry as bait and getting into danger... If Luke was really not worried, he wouldn't need to follow up early.He was absolutely sure that nothing would happen to Harry, that's why he let Harry be the bait.

Whether it is right or wrong to do so.For Luke, who is so ruthless and can use himself as bait, it's better not to discuss this kind of thing.

He sees Harry as a friend.I disdain to play some domesticated tricks on my friends.

But Harry... a person who has been dependent on others since he was a child and has never felt the warmth of family affection. After he entered school, there has always been a guy who seems to be omnipotent who has played the role of his brother in his life.

It's hard to say whether this relationship between friends will eventually become the attachment of the younger brother to the older brother.The bond of family affection is not only blood, but also long-term companionship and care.

Luke thought Harry was someone worth caring about.Because caring about him will not have any bad consequences.And be able to reap the rewards.Even people who don't want to reciprocate are unwilling to hand over their kindness to a white-eyed wolf.

But after listening to Luke's words, Tom didn't delve into this issue, but sneered: "But I'm sure, you and I are the same person, Luke. We are all longing for change, longing for change." Be the master..."

"Poke it!"

Luke smiled exaggeratedly and said, "I don't want to be a ruler. If it weren't for the way things look too wrong in this world. Wouldn't it be good for me to sit on the mountain of gold and silver left by my ancestors and wait to die?"

"I'm really different from you. I don't lack anything. The things you want, such as rights, status, honor, and respect, are all within my reach."

"I really don't understand how confident you are that you can say that you are the same person as me?"

"I just want a change in this world. It's best because of me. What you want is a change in the world, and the world revolves around you."..."Don't insult me."

Luke said the last, with a cold sarcasm in his expression.He also thought that Voldemort's brain was not working well because of the side effects of the magical experiment given by Slytherin's thought body, and the external manifestations of soul rupture caused by Horcrux production.But now it seems that, in Tom Riddle's time, the guy wasn't really that smart.

At most it is a little clever.

But after thinking about it, he dared to use such an obviously problematic blood fusion experiment casually. It can only be said that he might not be smart enough.

Dumbledore was watching the argument between the two, watching Tom's soul and body seem to swell, and the expression on his face was like a beast that chooses to eat people.

But Tom was so stunned that he couldn't say a word of rebuttal.

Lies never hurt, the truth is the sharp knife.

And Luke said these situations one by one, poking dozens of holes in Tom's already sensitive, suspicious, inferior and proud heart.

But after finishing speaking, Luke seemed a little less interested.With a wave of the wand in his hand, the milky white light flickered, and Tom was locked in the diary again.

"I want to teach you that you know the solution to this spell. If you have anything else to ask, just ask yourself."

After finishing speaking, Luke yawned big: "I have to go back to sleep early. If I go to bed too late, it may affect my development. If I don't grow taller, it will break."

With that said, he was about to get up and leave.After all, he is not an old man, and he has little sleep itself.What's more, he is still very fond of his height.He was only 1.8 meters tall in his previous life, but judging from the trend in this life, he may not have no chance to grow taller.From this point of view, he really needs to get a good night's sleep.

Immortal cultivation hurts the body!

But after getting up, he seemed to suddenly remember something, so he took out something from his pocket again.

"This is a small vial of poison, which is used to deal with this diary. Professor, you should also know some characteristics of Horcruxes, which cannot be dealt with by ordinary magic."

Before Dumbledore could speak, he quickly added: "Of course, I know you still have many ways to deal with this diary. Fiendfire, sword, anything. But..."

He pushed the poison on the table forward again: "Take it as my sincerity."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and said, "I'm going back to sleep. Although it is said that the elderly don't sleep much, Professor, you'd better go to bed early. At your age, it's better to get up early than to go to bed late."

Watching the back of Luke leaving, Dumbledore looked at the small finger-sized bottle of poison on the table, which contained less than half a bottle of poison.Even through the bottle, you can smell a faint fragrance.

This fragrance gives people a feeling of peace of mind and body.Dumbledore seemed to abandon all the troubles in his heart in an instant, and wanted to have a good sleep.

But the next moment, Dumbledore woke up, looking at the small half bottle of brightly colored poison, his eyes were quite serious.He had already known that Luke had a lot of good things on hand.But he really didn't expect that Luke even had this kind of thing on hand. ... "It's not like ordinary basilisk poison... How much is the kid hiding in his cards???"

He shook his head, not thinking about such meaningless things anymore. He understood Luke's previous reminder. Luke should have found a certain Horcrux and successfully destroyed it without his knowledge. The weapon used is the venom in front of him.

This also shows that Voldemort has plural Horcruxes.And it should be at least three...

You know, every time you make a Horcrux, you have to pay more than just the life of an innocent person.There is also part of the soul of the caster.Although it is divided.But the importance of the soul to the whole of a person is self-evident.In the process of tearing the soul apart, will the Horcrux be worn out?

Even if there is no split for the first time, what about more splits?

I don't know whether to say that Voldemort is afraid of death or not.

Thinking of this, Dumbledore still put away the bottle of poison in his hand.How can such a good thing that can make him feel a great sense of crisis be overkill for such a trivial matter as destroying Horcruxes?

With a move of Dumbledore's finger, an orange flame ignited on the notebook.This flame burns rapidly and violently.But this diary is not so easily burned to ashes.The flame gradually expanded and changed shape.

A small Tom made of flames was rolling on Dumbledore's desk, opening and closing his mouth. Dumbledore could probably tell that it was some four-letter words starting with F and S.

But the burning Tom did not cause any damage to the desk below him.Dumbledore's control over Fiendfire is evident.

Fiendfire couldn't get new fuel from Dumbledore, and even under Dumbledore's intentional control, it didn't grow much at all, and was extinguished by Dumbledore's counter-curse.

Of course Dumbledore can easily control the Fiendfire he used.And under Dumbledore's control, there's nothing else fueling it here.

Fiercefire, a power that seemed uncontrollable in the eyes of ordinary wizards, in the hands of a wizard like Dumbledore, was like a hamster that had been used to panning.

"Tom... Voldemort... Getler... Luke... Ariana..."

Dumbledore chanted the names of these people, then yawned a lot, and then smiled inexplicably: "Old is old, the future world still depends on young people."

The next day, when the students got up, they saw a very conspicuous announcement in their respective lounges.

"...The matter has been satisfactorily resolved, the school will resume normal class order, please students follow the schedule..."

Neville looked at the announcement in front of him with some confusion: "This solves the matter? Does it seem to be quite fast?"

Seamus snorted twice and said, "For Filch's cat, I really don't understand what I'm thinking after going through so much effort."

"No matter how you think about it, it's impossible for this kind of thing to be just for a cat. Use your brain."

Hermione was not friendly, and even rang out with a bit of resentment.Seamus wanted to argue with Hermione, but seeing Hermione's unhappy expression, her achievements in the past, and her unintentional display of great strength, Seamo was shamefully discouraged.

"Then what else could be going on!"

He stiffened his neck, but only dared to say such a sentence.

Hermione really didn't even give him a look.

And at this moment, Ron, who was confused and flustered, came out of the dormitory: "Did any of you see Harry?!"

The living room fell into silence for a moment.

"Inside..."

A girl's voice suddenly sounded.Everyone turned their attention to the unknown first-year girl.

"Ginny Weiss is here, we haven't seen her since we woke up this morning.".

I will not update to remind you: remember to collect after reading
