Chapter 467: The Cause of the Incident: Crown Peter Ron Harry
Principal room.
After struggling for most of the night, it is already past midnight.
But neither Dumbledore nor Snape were sleepy at the moment.
Things tonight are too weird, and if you can't sort out the clues, it will obviously not be possible for people to sleep peacefully.
"Severus..."
Dumbledore walked quickly around the office twice, then turned sharply to look at Snape, and asked in a deep voice: "When you rescued Peter, you didn't show any flaws, did you?"
Snape didn't bother to answer the question.
"Peter is here for Potter! The Dark Lord may have discovered something, so he wants to confirm it on Potter."
Snape said calmly: "He probably doesn't want me to know."
Dumbledore walked to the window, leaned on the window sill with both hands, looked at the moonlight outside the window, and murmured: "Yes...yes..."
Dumbledore also thought about this problem.
After carefully recalling what happened in the past two years, Dumbledore suddenly remembered something.
Ravenclaw's diadem!
This Horcrux once fell into Ron's hands, and Peter Pettigrew had been Ron's mouse before.
Harry and Ron are best friends again.
If you tie these events together...
No matter how reluctant he was to admit it, Dumbledore had to prepare for the worst - Peter Pettigrew might have discovered some secrets during the Crown Incident.
He told this secret to Voldemort!
If there is any secret that Voldemort doesn't want Snape to know, then it must be the secret of the Horcruxes.
Because Voldemort would not share eternal life with anyone.
So Voldemort could only let Peter Pettigrew sneak into Hogwarts to check on Harry.
Miscalculation!
Dumbledore felt solemn. If Voldemort discovered Harry's secret, then Harry would be really in danger.
"What did you think of?" Snape asked quietly.
When it came to Harry, Snape had to be cautious.
Dumbledore turned back sharply and looked at Snape, "Severus, you must get in touch with Voldemort as soon as possible and ask him clearly about this matter."
"I know!"
Snape asked impatiently: "Dumbledore, what exactly does the Dark Lord want to find in Potter?"
Dumbledore turned back and continued to look out the window, waving his hands tiredly. After a moment of silence, he said, "Maybe Voldemort will give us an answer."
Snape was obviously not satisfied with this answer.
He believed that Dumbledore had guessed Voldemort's purpose, but was unwilling to tell him.
But Snape knew Dumbledore very well, and no one could make him talk about things that Dumbledore didn't want to say.
Snape looked at Dumbledore's back and suddenly said calmly: "You said you would protect the safety of that child."
"Yes!" Dumbledore said calmly.
There was silence in the office for a while.
Snape didn't ask any more questions, turned around and left quickly.
Dumbledore didn't want to say it didn't matter. Snape felt that Andy might have guessed Voldemort's purpose.
And Andy's mouth can't keep secrets at all.
After Snape left, Dumbledore sat in a chair exhausted, closing his eyes and thinking.
Crown…
Dumbledore carefully recalled the ins and outs of the coronet incident.
This Horcrux initially fell into the hands of Percy Weasley, through which Voldemort's remnant soul came into contact with the outside world and learned the reason for the main soul's failure - Harry Potter.
Ron is Percy's younger brother.
With the help of this relationship, Voldemort's remnant soul took the opportunity to control Ron, and used Ron's identity to contact Harry, trying to find out Harry's secrets.
<divclass="contentadv">What is so special about this boy?
The more Dumbledore recalled, the more he discovered that there were many unreasonable things hidden in the crown incident.
For example: Voldemort's remnant soul needs to absorb life force to regain strength. Since he has control of Ron, why doesn't he kill Ron's mice?
Voldemort wouldn't keep a rat as a pet.
Also...during that time, although Dumbledore had set up a dragnet, there were so many young wizards in Hogwarts. If Voldemort's remnant soul was more careful, he might not have no chance of escaping.
However, that Horcrux was only tried once.
In other words, Voldemort's remnant soul didn't want to leave Hogwarts so soon.
He discovered something unusual about Banban.
Harry's purpose was also discovered.
Is this possible?
Dumbledore thought to himself...
The remaining souls in Horcruxes want to be resurrected. This is everyone's view on Horcruxes.
But a crown is not the same as a diary!
When making the Horcrux as a crown, Voldemort's research on Horcruxes was already very mature - if he had set some restrictions, the remnant soul in the crown might not want to replace the main soul.
In contrast, it might be more reasonable to explore the secrets of Harry's old enemy and let the main soul regain its strength.
Dumbledore opened the drawer and took out three broken Horcruxes: a diary, a crown, and a gold ring.
Voldemort may be cruel and inhumane, but no one can deny his talent.
The first Horcrux may have some omissions, but the subsequent Horcruxes... Voldemort will never give those remaining souls too much freedom.
"Tom... what would you do?" Dumbledore muttered to himself.
Tonight...no! It should be last night, Peter Pettigrew clearly had the opportunity to kill Harry, but he did not do it.
This shows that Voldemort is still coveting Harry's power - he wants to know what the power is that can rebound the death curse.
Thinking of this, Dumbledore suddenly had an idea.
Mind and magic can be fused.
The protective magic on Harry is a fusion of Lily's love for Harry - Lily's love and Harry's magic merge with each other and have been integrated into Harry's blood.
If Voldemort gained this power...
Perhaps...Harry can use this to influence Voldemort's power.
……
The night passed.
Andy was woken up by a loud noise.
Sticking his head out from the tent, Andy temporarily suppressed the thought of 'destroying the world', looked at Hermione and asked: "What time is it?"
"Six-thirty!" Hermione smiled at Andy.
Andy: "..."
"Professor McGonagall just came here. She said that the auditorium will be tidied up at seven o'clock. You can sleep for another half hour."
Speaking of this, Hermione suddenly joked: "By the way, George and Fred are making bets with people on who will be the last person to get up."
"Anthony and Michael both crushed you."
Andy: "..."
"I'm going to kill them!" Andy said expressionlessly.
Hermione tilted her head and looked at Andy, "Do you want to get up?"
Andy thought for a moment.
After hesitating for a while between 'social death' and 'sleep for another half hour', I finally struggled to climb out of the tent.
