Chapter 323 Forgetting
"Is there any other way?" Harry's clone rubbed his brows, looking like an old father who was about to faint from his rebellious son.

"No." Dumbledore's left eye had turned into a snake pupil, and his voice was hoarse and sharp.

"I can feel him eroding me." Dumbledore touched the left side of his face, which even became smooth and moist, in stark contrast to the withered right side.

"Although I am the one with the dominant consciousness, once the mysterious person outside notices it, this may become his deadly weapon."

Dumbledore didn't dare to say the name Voldemort.

Grindelwald's face darkened slightly. He understood that Dumbledore was preventing any possibility that Voldemort could sense him.

The cost of destroying the Horcrux was indeed very high.

"Harry, don't let me become a weapon in the hands of others." Dumbledore pointed the wand at his chin and smiled. "Trelawney predicted that I would die in the presence of many people."

He looked at the light screen where a fierce battle was taking place, with worry and some reluctance in his eyes.

“Perhaps this is where my soul will rest.”

"Harry, the last Horcrux is up to you. If you have any trouble, you can ask for help from the mysterious man in my office."

Dumbledore made a mischievous expression and said, "If he refuses, just say that helping you is my last request before I die."

"He will certainly agree."

"And, Harry, I have to apologize to you." Dumbledore's tone changed as he explained his last wishes, and he said solemnly, "I shouldn't have been so reckless."

"I almost hurt you."

"I shouldn't think of being a lone hero. I should believe in the power of the group. I should bring the Horcrux back to Hogwarts and study and destroy it with you."

"You must remember my lesson, Harry."

Harry's clone raised his hand, signaling Dumbledore to stop.

"Dumbledore, I accept your apology. But you need to calm down."

"Although Voldemort is out there and members of the Order of the Phoenix are in danger of losing their lives at any time, if you die now, how can I face Voldemort?"

"Unless I abuse the Killing Curse, is that okay?"

Dumbledore shook his head.

"Okay, then, listen to my analysis."

Harry's clone continued, "The power of the Horcrux did not take over my body just now, as you saw."

"So, what is he afraid of me for? Is my magic power its natural enemy?"

Dumbledore showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, but before he could figure it out, he heard Harry's clone continue:

"Horcruxes are forbidden black magic. If my magic is its natural enemy, can I use ancient white magic to fight it?"

"For example: the Patronus Charm."

Dumbledore's eyes lit up and he said, "Harry, you reminded me."

"If I use the Patronus Charm myself, will it be effective as well?"

Dumbledore did what he thought and shouted, "Expecto Patronus!"

But nothing happened.

"Expecto Patronus! Exo Patronus! Exo Patronus!"

Grindelwald looked at Dumbledore's efforts and sighed, "The magic of the Horcrux has eroded his soul. The Patronus Charm will not favor wizards with darkness."

"You're right, Mr. Gellert." Harry, who was also watching the movie, agreed: "Dumbledore can't even remember happy things."

As the two made the comments, Dumbledore's face showed a look of pain, and his normal right eye showed signs of turning into a snake's pupil.

"I failed, Harry. All I remember of my previous happiness is darkness."

"The Patronus Charm actually backfired on me. No wonder the Death Eaters don't know this spell."

"Expecto Patronus!" Harry's clone chanted the spell.

Swarms of sea glitter instantly filled the entire house, and the entire scene in memory turned sky blue.

"what!!"

Dumbledore screamed, covering his face, and the Elder Wand fell to the ground, with white smoke coming out from between the fingers of both hands.

He stumbled back, running into more Patronuses.

These beautiful stardust-like light spots were like sulfuric acid to Dumbledore now. Wherever they came into contact with Dumbledore, they made a "hissing" sound like corroding metal.

Thick white smoke rose from the left half of Dumbledore's body.

"Stop, Harry! Stop!" Dumbledore shouted.

Grindelwald narrowed his eyes and said, "That's not Dumbledore speaking."

He knew Dumbledore's voice well, the cadence of his every word.

The one who was speaking now was definitely a fake, Grindelwald was very sure of it.

"I didn't hear it, but I didn't stop either." Harry nodded and said:
"I've read in medical books that when a patient asks to stop, the doctor must not listen to the patient and must continue to insist on the treatment."

Grindelwald listened to Dumbledore's screams and showed an expression of pity.

He had to find a way to divert his attention, so he asked, "Harry, I didn't expect you to have such a wide range of interests. By the way, which medical book are you reading?"

“Bloodletting.”

Grindelwald: ...

The attention was indeed diverted, but the price was that the reluctance on his face turned into worry.

Dumbledore's screams became weaker and weaker, and finally, he curled up on the ground, his body like a grasshopper in autumn, his legs and feet twitching, and it seemed as if he was about to step into the underworld in the next moment.

"Dumbledore, are you feeling better?" Harry's clone came over and asked caringly.

"I'm much better." Dumbledore said weakly, but he didn't even have the strength to lift a finger.

"It seems to be very effective, Dumbledore." Harry's clone said with satisfaction: "The Horcrux has been completely destroyed by us."

"Yes, the Horcrux has..." Dumbledore, who seemed relieved, suddenly changed his expression, and his left eye, which had returned to normal, changed again.

Harry's clone reacted quickly and cast the Patronus Charm again.

Dumbledore screamed again.

However, this time the "treatment" was very short and Dumbledore quickly returned to normal.

"This is wrong, Dumbledore." Harry's clone looked at the Patronus surrounding Dumbledore. "The power of the Horcrux is just not manifest, but it still exists."

Dumbledore nodded with difficulty. He wanted to sit up, but after several failed attempts, he simply lay on his back on the floor and sighed, "This method still doesn't work, Harry."

“I can’t really get away from it.”

"The power of the Horcrux is too dark and mysterious, and our understanding of it is still too shallow."

"That's it, Harry."

"Don't try again. The Order can't hold out any longer."

Dumbledore's appearance changed again, with the left side of his face taking on a mocking expression.

Harry's clone frowned and said, "I have another risky plan, Dumbledore."

"You know the Oblivion Charm, right?"

"I found a branch of the Oblivion Spell from a certain area of ​​the library. It has a certain cleansing effect on the human soul."

"However, the side effect is that the person being cast the spell will lose some of their innate emotions."

"You read the banned book!?" Dumbledore looked at Harry in disbelief. "Who let you in? Madam Pince is a very strict person!"

"This spell is not in the restricted section, Dumbledore. I have never touched any of the books that whisper evil."

"That's good." Dumbledore breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Harry, a genius, would follow Voldemort's old path.

"So, do you want to try again?" Harry's clone said, "Maybe it will work this time."

"Okay, Harry. If that doesn't work, try my method, okay?"

"Let's talk about it later." Before Dumbledore could refute, Harry's clone had already pointed his wand at Dumbledore's forehead, "Obligate everything!"

……

Grindelwald stood outside the Gaunt mansion. In the memory scene, flying spells passed through him and Harry. "What emotions did he lose, Harry?"

"I don't know." Harry shrugged. "That's for you to judge. He brought me back before I had a chance to test him."
