Chapter 546: Memory and the Past Part 1

Ryan, who was thought to be resting by Rose Crystal on a small island in the North Sea, was actually not as relaxed as she thought. He was sitting in the common room checking the upcoming issue of Look, This Is Muggles. Hermione, who was sitting opposite him, was flipping through the transfiguration book she got from the world of Beauty and the Beast. After mastering the power of the rules, she discovered a lot from the book from the Nymphs. New place to research.

On the sofa in the distance, Ron was catching up with his homework. He had missed a lot of homework during the time he was in the hospital, and now he had to make up the content of these classes, otherwise, after the final exams, he would definitely be approved by Mrs. Weasley for a summer vacation.

Why hasn't Harry come back? Ron looked up and asked after copying the notes Ryan had lent him before. It was already late at night, and there were only three of them left in the common room.

Before Ryan could answer, the door to the common room opened, and Harry walked in with a dejected look on his face. What happened? Seeing his friend's ugly face, Ron stepped forward and asked with concern.

It's nothing, it's just that I didn't complete the task assigned to me by Professor Dumbledore before, so that the course can't continue now. Harry sat on the sofa tiredly, and then began to tell Ryan and the others about today's meeting with Dumbledore. The details of the class there.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Harry also stepped into the headmaster's office just as the dolls were deciding on the time to attack, only to see Professor Trelawney arguing with Headmaster Dumbledore. Because Trelawney hoped to drive away the centaur Firenze, but Principal Dumbledore rejected her unreasonable request. After Professor Trelawney angrily pushed Harry away and disappeared up the spiral staircase. Dumbledore beckoned Harry to his old seat at Dumbledore's table after closing the door.

Harry tried to ask about Professor Trelawney, but Professor Dumbledore brought the topic back after a brief introduction. Forget about my teacher now, Harry. We have more important things to talk about. First of all - did you do the homework I gave you last class?

Ah, Harry suddenly remembered, because of Apparition class, Quidditch competition, Ron's poisoning, his own skull fracture, and trying to figure out what the hell Malfoy was up to, he almost forgot that Dumbledore wanted him to To Slughorn's memory... Well, I really couldn't find a way to make him speak, because Ryan reminded me that if I asked directly, he would definitely not want to answer me about this matter, which would make him more vigilant Fuck it all, so all this time I've been thinking of a way to make sure he tells the truth because I know I won't get a second chance.

Oh, your friend is right. Dumbledore stared at Harry from above the half-moon-shaped glasses, and Harry had a feeling of being seen from beginning to end, You feel that you have done your best, yes Have you used your ingenuity to the fullest? Have thought of every idea?

Uh. Harry was at a loss for words. He did think of many ways, but he didn't implement them due to various reasons. The main reason is that he did not put this matter in the most important position. Now that Dumbledore asked, he felt ashamed. I know, you have encountered many, many things recently, such as your friend being poisoned, or yourself being injured. I also understand how excited young people like you are when you become the captain of the Quidditch team for the first time .But I think I've told you how important that memory is. In fact, it's the most crucial memory, without which we'd just be wasting time.

Dumbledore said these words in a very normal tone, as if he was talking about the weather today, but Harry felt a strong sense of shame hit him. He would rather Professor Dumbledore yell at him than express his inner disappointment coldly like this.

Harry desperately tried to defend himself, but Dumbledore stopped him. I know, you'll say you're busy.

But I still hope you can bring this matter forward from now on? Without that memory, it would be meaningless for us to take classes later.

I will, sir, I will get it, said Harry eagerly, as if grasping at a straw.

At this time, Dumbledore finally got over this topic and entered today's main topic. They first reviewed the content of the previous class: Voldemort killed his father and grandparents, making people think that his uncle did it. Then he went back to Hogwarts to ask Professor Slughorn about Horcruxes.

In today's class, we're going to look at the last memory I collected. What you need to know is that after Tom became Voldemort, he consciously erased the traces of his experience. Finding someone who can remember the adult Voldemort is almost impossible. the impossible. In fact, I doubt whether there is a living person other than himself who can tell us in detail about his life after leaving Hogwarts. However, after my efforts, I still Found these two memories.

After speaking, Dumbledore pointed to the two shining small crystal bottles next to the Pensieve on the table, I told you when I gave you private lessons at the beginning, we will enter the field of speculation and conjecture. Thankfully, with the help of your friend Ryan, I can now basically figure out what some of these memories actually are. This makes some guesses not guesses, and brings us closer to the truth One step.

Ryan? Harry said in disbelief.

Yes. Dumbledore glanced at Harry sitting in front of him. Although he is also very busy this year, his wisdom and strength have helped me a lot. After you read these memories, I will tell you in detail what happened.

Harry felt even more ashamed by this time, but Dumbledore didn't seem to notice it. He told Harry Voldemort that everyone was optimistic about his future after graduating from school with excellent grades. Several teachers suggested that he enter the Ministry of Magic and were willing to introduce him, but he refused them all. The teachers later learned that Voldemort had gone to Borgin-Bock to work.

Borgin-Bock? Harry asked in amazement.

Boggin-Bock. Dumbledore said calmly, At first I didn't know what it was for, but with Ryan's help, I figured out why. But in fact his first goal was not to work there Voldemort first approached my former headmaster and asked him if he could stay and teach at Hogwarts.

He wants to stay here? Harry was shocked. In his impression, an ambitious man like Voldemort should not be willing to stay in this ancient castle all day.

I can understand, said Dumbledore. First of all, this castle was the first and only place that felt like home to him. Second, the castle had a long history, and Voldemort believed that he could find buried treasure here. And lastly, he Not the kind of guy who stays in school all his life, and I think he sees this as a good place to recruit and he can build a team for himself.

It's a good thing he didn't get the job. Harry's tone revealed his rejoicing.

Yes. The headmaster at the time, Professor Dippet, said that he was only 18 years old, which was too young, but he was welcome to apply again in two years, if he still wanted to teach by then. And I also wrote a letter to the principal at that time, suggesting that Armando should not hire him. After Voldemort went to Borgin-Bock, all the teachers who admired him said it was a pity. But he's done surprisingly well in that shop, you know, Harry, which sells all sorts of magical items. Voldemort was tasked with persuading people to hand over treasures for sale in the shop, and it is said that he was particularly good at it.

I believe. Harry couldn't help but say.

Yeah, Dumbledore said with a slight smile, Now we should get to the point and look at the memories of the house elf Hao Qi.
