Chapter 765 The Seventh Horcrux
When Sirius saw that Dumbledore was taking the matter so seriously and heard that it was related to Harry, he was no longer in a hurry to find Kreacher.
He sat back on his seat and looked at Harry beside him uneasily. Seeing that he was also confused, he asked eagerly: "What on earth is going on? Could it be that Harry was hit by Voldemort during the previous battle?" What curse?"
"Be patient." Dumbledore first reassured Sirius, then looked at Harry with guilty blue eyes, took a deep breath, and then continued: "After I told you Before you do this, you must promise me that no matter what you hear next, please stay calm and I will explain it to you bit by bit."
However, the more cautious Dumbledore acted, the more flustered Sirius became. However, he forced himself to calm down, and then held Harry's hand tightly while staring at Dumbledore unblinkingly. profitable.
Professor McGonagall also put Fish's matter aside for the time being and glanced at Harry worriedly.
She knew what Harry's real situation was, and she also knew clearly that if he wanted to truly defeat Voldemort, Harry would have to face a problem that he couldn't get around.
It's just... I don't know if Harry, the kid, can withstand the impact of this truth...
Professor McGonagall sighed inwardly, and then hugged Fish as if seeking comfort.
Maomao glanced at Professor McGonagall in confusion, and seeing that something seemed wrong with her mood, he hugged her and gently rubbed her cheek with his head.
The interaction between mother and son did not interfere with Dumbledore's narration. After Sirius calmed down, he continued: "What I want to tell you is... about Harry's scar... I told Harry before that Voldemort It was actually not accurate to leave part of his magic power in that scar... because in addition to his magic power, Voldemort also left other things inside. "
"What is it?" Sirius subconsciously leaned forward and asked eagerly.
"Voldemort's soul fragment." Dumbledore said the answer in a soft but heavy tone.
"Soul fragment? Doesn't that mean..." Hermione was the first to react. She looked at Harry in shock, swallowed her saliva, and exclaimed in disbelief: "That doesn't mean that Harry is actually the same. …”
"Horcrux..." Dumbledore sighed, then added what Hermione couldn't say, "Yes, Harry is also Voldemort's Horcrux...one that even Voldemort himself didn't realize...Seventh A Horcrux."
He ignored Sirius who stood up suddenly and continued: "On the night when Voldemort tried to kill Harry, when Lily used her life to stand between them, the killing curse bounced back to Voldemort, and Voldemort's soul was A fragment was blown away and attached to the only living soul in the collapsed house. As long as the soul fragment that was not discovered by Voldemort was still attached to Harry and protected by Harry and the Guardian Curse, Voldemort could not die."
"Do you realize that we have to kill Harry in the end to truly defeat Voldemort?!" Sirius pounded the table hard with fear and anger, and roared at Dumbledore: "I will never allow it! There must be more No other way! How can we win by sacrificing a child?"
"It's really ugly!" Phineas in the portrait said sarcastically: "It's so sad that such a stupid and reckless Gryffindor is the only one left in the Black family."
However, there was no sad expression on his face, instead it was full of disdain and displeasure.
Sirius turned around and glared at his great ancestor.
Then the disdain and displeasure on Phineas's face became more obvious, "Your performance is not even as good as these students, even though they are all Gryffindors," he sarcastically mocked his great-great-grandson, "Even the most basic Even if you can't keep calm, it's no wonder you were betrayed by your friend and then spent more than ten years in prison for him..."
"That's enough, Phineas." Dumbledore stopped him from irritating Sirius, then looked at Sirius and said, "I said, be patient and listen to what I have to say."
At this time, Harry finally recovered from the shocking news. He tugged at Sirius's robe and said in a dry voice: "If...if this can defeat Voldemort...I...I In fact, it is... expendable..."
After saying this, Harry seemed to have exhausted all his strength and slumped down on the chair.
Sirius turned around and looked at Harry with a complicated expression, who was still shaking slightly but with extremely firm eyes. Instead of yelling, he sat down again and looked at Dumbledore expressionlessly. profitable.
He secretly decided in his heart that if Dumbledore was going to sacrifice Harry in the end, he would immediately run away with Harry.
"I have to say that your courage exceeds my expectations, Harry." Dumbledore looked at Harry who made this decision in admiration, and then said: "But things are not that simple...and neither do you." There must be sacrifices.”
Sirius's eyes suddenly lit up with hope, and Harry stopped trembling and looked at Dumbledore in surprise. Fish, Hermione, and Professor McGonagall also pricked up their ears.
"Because Voldemort made an extremely wrong choice," Dumbledore explained to them without hesitation: "When he was resurrected, he took Harry's blood. He believed it would make him stronger."
"It's sad that he always knows so little about it, Harry!" Dumbledore sighed: "Voldemort never takes the time to understand things that he doesn't value. Voldemort knows nothing about love. In fact, it has a quality that is better than him. A greater power, a power beyond any magic, but he never grasped this fact."
But at this time, few people were interested in this topic, especially Sirius and Fish.
"Fish doesn't want to hear this! Albus, tell me how Harry is going to survive!"
(ΦДΦ)
Maomao protested loudly.
"Voldemort ingested a small part of the spell Harry's mother left behind when she died for him. His body prevented Lily's sacrificial talisman from dying..." Dumbledore returned to the previous topic at Fish's urging. , he looked at Harry gently and said: "He took your blood and used it to reshape his flesh and blood. Your blood is flowing in his veins, Harry, Lily's spell exists in both of you!" As long as he doesn't die, your life will not end!"
"As long as he lives...I will live? But I thought...I thought it was the other way around! I thought we both had to die, didn't we? Or is this actually the same thing?" Harry said in surprise. .
Dumbledore shook his head, "Do you remember what Sybil's prophecy said?"
"Both can't live, only one survives, and one of us will leave forever..." Harry muttered something that kept him awake all night, and was firmly remembered in his heart. The content of that prophecy.
"Yes, only one can survive." Dumbledore said: "I think that only Voldemort can destroy the part of his soul hidden in Harry's body. When you are 'killed' by Voldemort, your Only then will the soul be complete and truly belong to you.”
"What do you mean? Are you still planning to let Harry sacrifice?!" Sirius yelled again.
"Harry will not really die...if my guess is correct." Dumbledore said: "Fortunately, my guesses are usually not far off. What's even more fortunate is that the potion's The effects of the medicine haven’t worn off yet.”
"But what if you guessed wrong?"
Sirius refused to accept this argument, he wanted to be sure that nothing would happen to Harry.
Dumbledore said nothing more, just looked at him and Harry quietly.
Compared to Sirius who refused to accept the proposal, Harry was completely mentally prepared at this time.
"I believe Professor Dumbledore," he said, looking at Sirius seriously and firmly: "And even if Dumbledore really guesses wrong this time, I will not regret it... I believe that my father and mother will support me. of."
"No! I don't allow it! I've only known you for two years! We still have to live together for a long time!" Sirius shook his head crazily, refusing to accept it.
"Albus, is there really no other way?"
Professor McGonagall glanced at Harry distressedly and hugged the cat tighter. She could understand Sirius's feelings very well, and if Dumbledore had suggested that Fish should be sacrificed, she would never accept it.
Dumbledore shook his head helplessly and said, "If possible, I don't want my students to take risks, but this is the only solution."
"If you are worried that Harry will die at the hands of Voldemort... maybe Fish has a way."

At this time, Maomao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

In the original book, Harry died generously after experiencing the sacrifices of several friends, understanding the sacrifices of Snape and Dumbledore, and seeing the terrible environment under Voldemort's rule.
The Harry in my book is not that mature at this time, and has not experienced so many storms and hardships, so I think it is normal for him to show a certain degree of fear and reluctance.
But given Harry's nature, he was ultimately able to accept that he needed to sacrifice.
Although Harry is reckless, arrogant, heroic, and jealous, his kindness, bravery, and sacrifice are also real.
Again, as the protagonist of a "children's book", Harry has many shortcomings, but as a teenager, he is already amazing.
