Chapter 974: Strength 1 is always in your hands, isn't it?
After the two signed the contract, the scene constructed from memory quickly fell apart, and the familiar principal's office reappeared in front of Ivan's eyes.
In the fireplace, a raging fire was burning, dispelling the midnight cold, but Ivan's heart was not calm for a long time.
Because he finally understood the many problems that had always puzzled him in the past.
For example, why Grindelwald was able to learn about the whereabouts of Nicol LeMay’s safe house, and how he escaped from Numontgarde so smoothly, and his strength increased so much that he defeated Voldemort holding the old wand in an extremely poor condition.
Everything behind this has a shadow of Dumbledore...
During Ivan’s contemplation, the quiet needle drop in the headmaster’s room was audible, and the noisy portraits were all silenced. Although they could not see the scene in their memory, the looming pressure on Ivan made them understand that if they don’t want to If it is thrown into the fireplace and burned to ashes, it's better to shut up.
Ivan sat on the chair in the principal's room, was silent for a long time, and then sighed. "It seems you are right, Professor Dumbledore, the most dangerous man in the magical world, never Voldemort, nor Grindelwald..."
If it is the enemy, Dumbledore is undoubtedly the most terrifying one. This is not only because of his strength, but more importantly, among all the people Ivan has seen, Dumbledore’s planning and layout ability is also The strongest.
In the case that the dark magic in his body has been dead for a long time, he can still calmly use the limited chips in his hand, cold-bloodedly use his own death layout to help Harry get rid of the Horcrux identity, count as dead Voldemort, and release Grindelwald, almost It can be said that the current situation is created by oneself.
This feeling of being manipulated by others unknowingly made Ivan feel very uncomfortable.
"Don't you have anything to say? Professor?" Ivan turned his head to look at the portrait of Dumbledore, and said slightly dissatisfied. "Such a subtle layout, including everyone, in order to complete your magnificent plan..."
"There is no grand plan, Hals, you may have overestimated me. Things have developed to the point where they are no longer under someone's control... In fact, despite my many preparations in advance, things are It has never developed as I expected." Dumbledore in the portrait put down the refreshment in his hand and said slowly.
"Three years ago, when I was searching for Voldemort's Horcrux, I was accidentally hit by the black magic attached to the ring and almost died. It was Severus who rescued me. It's a pity that even the British The best potion master can't completely heal such a serious injury. At that time, I was told that there was only more than a year of life left."
"At this point, I'm not as good as you, Hals!" Dumbledore looked at Ivan and said with emotion. "Severus once accused me of being less vigilant than a twelve or thirteen-year-old child, and he probably didn't make a mistake when thinking about it now."
Ivan touched his nose and didn't reply. He was able to find Voldemort's Horcrux so easily and destroy it. The most important thing was that he knew the plot, otherwise he could only be the same as Dumbledore in the original time and space. It is difficult to judge the location of the Horcrux based on Voldemort's character and experience.
Dumbledore didn't care about Ivan's silence, but continued to speak. "Although I am not afraid of death and am willing to accept it, it broke all my original plans anyway."
Originally, he wanted to find and destroy Voldemort's remaining Horcrux one by one, but only one year's lifespan was obviously not enough to complete it.
He had no choice but to adopt some aggressive and adventurous strategies. Fortunately, Tom Riddle did a stupid thing to resurrect. He added Harry's blood to the resurrection ceremony, which solved his most troublesome problem before.
Based on the curse of blood in Harry's body, using the old wand's characteristic of not harming the owner as insurance, and letting Snape connect the bridge is all of his revised plan...
As for how to deal with Voldemort and the remaining Horcruxes in the future, he didn't have any clues until one day when he recalled Trelawney's prophecy...
prophecy?
Listening to Dumbledore's words, Ivan was stunned, and then quickly remembered that at the end of the third grade, Trelawney had made a true prediction while invigorating Harry for the exam.
"Darkness is approaching, with a huge shadow covering the sky, and the servants of the Dark Lord will get out of trouble. The magic world is about to usher in a big change." Dumbledore slowly repeated Trelawney.
The first half of the sentence obviously refers to Peter Pettigrew and Voldemort. As for the second half of the sentence, he used to think that it was Gellert Grindelwald, because the opponent had a previous conviction, and he also sprouted the use of Grindelwald to defeat Voldemort. idea.
However, in the next two years, Ivan's strength has repeatedly increased beyond his expectations, even enough to compete with Voldemort, and Dumbledore has some new ideas.
"The existing system in the magical world has been in operation for hundreds of years. Although there have been many adjustments in the process, it is indeed time to make all the changes." Dumbledore said solemnly. "At first I thought no one could do this, but you gave me new hope, Hals!"
"With your talent, it is only a matter of time to surpass Gellert and me. If there is really one person who can change the entire magical world, then I think it's only you."
"So you treat me as a new chess piece." Ivan said with a sneer.
"I didn't mean it, Hals, and I am not going to manipulate your life." Dumbledore said calmly. "The power is always in your hands, isn't it? The important thing is not what I did, but what you want to do..."
To Tom Riddle who went astray several decades ago, he rudely used tough methods to force the other party to repent, trying to get Tom Riddle on the right track, but the result was the opposite.
After that unparalleled duel, he rejected all the consensus and chose to imprison Grindelwald in Newmontgard, in an attempt to awaken the opponent, but all he got was hatred.
The more he interferes, the worse things get, so this time he doesn’t plan to do it...
"Think about it carefully, I shouldn't have influenced any of your choices." While Dumbledore said, he took out a book from the portrait that made Ivan very familiar.
"The idea of changing the magical world was never given to you by me... first master England, and then wait for the opportunity to control the entire magical world. Isn't this a plan you had already thought out three years ago?"
