“Are you ready for retirement? Are you planning to let Professor McGonagall take over your job?”
Sherlock no longer struggles with Dumbledore’s question of being the boss at this time, and asked him about his preparations afterwards.
Dumbledore stared at him and said with a chuckle.
“Before you were recruited into Hogwarts, or before I decided on this plan today, my idea was to let Minerva take over my job. But now, do you think she can still become the principal of this school for granted?”
Sherlock raised an eyebrow.
“Why not?”
“As an adult, don’t take it so naturally, Sherlock.” Dumbledore said, “You know very well that if you force Minerva to sit in my position now and you are under her, it will cause her a lot of trouble. And I asked her indirectly about her thoughts not long ago, and she seemed to be more respectful to you.”
Sherlock and Dumbledore looked at each other.
“So, no one of you plans to ask me for my opinion?”
“I’m trying to understand your ideas, Sherlock. I know very well that you are not so passionate about the so-called power. Otherwise, when Sclinger gave you an olive branch, you had already gone to the Ministry of Magic to develop. In addition, you did today’s feat, and it would be no exaggeration to take over his position as Minister of Magic. What is a principal of Hogwarts?”
Dumbledore said seriously.
“If you really don’t want to take over my position in the end, you can continue to be the current defense professor. I will convince Minerva to be the principal. Except for me not being in the castle, everything in the school is still the same as usual. But your life is destined to be as calm as before, which is also something you must accept now.”
Sherlock rubbed his forehead with a headache.
To be honest, all his unwillingness to accept the position of President Dumbledore is to avoid showing up for too long in the future.
Sherlock has always felt that being a public figure is a very tiring thing, whether in ordinary society or in the magic world.
Some people are flocking to fame and fortune, but Sherlock is a little avoided.
But Dumbledore was nothing wrong with saying, that is, no matter what, his life in the future would not become as plain as before.
This problem cannot be understood and decided in a short while. When encountering problems that you cannot solve for the time being, Sherlock’s choice is also to escape first.
“We will talk about your retirement topic later. Even if you are so anxious to leave, you will not be able to hand over the work in one day or two.You are also planning to resign your position at Gamo and the International Wizards Federation, right? “
Dumbledore nodded.
“I really need some preparation time, and it’s really more than that to call you over today. “
His tone became solemn, and Sherlock knew that what he was going to say to him next was the focus of the conversation tonight.
“After you left in the afternoon, Sclinger also came to the scene of the war, and he directed Auror to arrest all the Death Eaters who were caught there. I followed this opportunity and asked him to help gather several core Death Eaters together, and after using magic to wipe out their resistance, I used soul-sucking thoughts on them and saw a large part of the memory related to Voldemort. “
“The most important thing about this is about Harry. ”
“Harry? “Sherlock frowned. “Yes, it’s Harry. The summer vacation is here, and Harry has said many times that he will dream of becoming Voldemort at night. You also knew this at the time. I realized from the beginning that since Harry could see the situation on Voldemort, Voldemort might not be able to discover this in the future, and this will affect Harry. “
“And just a while ago, he discovered this. He and his most loyal subordinates made arrangements to perform a different performance against Harry in the future and then lure Harry out. But before this plan was implemented, he had already encountered what he was today. “
“Of course, these are not the key points. The real key lies in what the connection between Harry and Voldemort is. “
Dumbledore looked at Sherlock without blinking.
“About this, I told you not long ago that I had a guess, and now, I think this guess can be basically confirmed. “
“More than ten years ago, Voldemort learned the prophecy from Snape, and wanted to kill the boy in the prophecy who could defeat him in the future. While he was backfiring by his life-seeking curse, he also accidentally split out a Horcrux. “
Sherlock’s breathing became a little heavy, as if he could have guessed how shocking the world would be once the news Dumbledore said next would be.
“He himself was not even aware of this. Harry’s mother, Lily, became a victim of this Horcrux, and helped him successfully split his soul for the seventh time, and the broken soul was always left on Harry Potter! ”
…
Hogwarts seemed particularly quiet late at night.
Snape’s office was still brightly lit.
