Hogwarts passer-by professor

Chapter 200 Dumbledore’s Actions
Harry sat on an empty chair on the side of the office, looking at the floor in silence with a somewhat melancholy expression.

After the door closed, Harry looked up and saw that it was Dumbledore who had closed the door.

"Why are you so unhappy, Harry?" Dumbledore's tone was extremely calm, as if he didn't feel sorry for Lupin's departure at all.

"I just think Professor Lupine is the best Defense Against the Dark Arts professor we have ever encountered -" Harry said in a muffled voice.

"It's a shame, but life goes on, doesn't it?" Dumbledore said.

"So, Professor, is there anything else?" Harry nodded and then asked aloud.

"Yes, I heard that you lived with Sirius during the Christmas vacation?" Dumbledore looked at Harry with a strange expression.

"That's right, living with Sirius is much better than staying at the Dursleys' house!" Harry suddenly felt happy when talking about this topic.

"Do you plan to stay at Sirius's house forever?" Dumbledore narrowed his eyes.

"Of course -, there's nothing wrong with that, right?" Harry said excitedly without seeing the strange look on Dumbledore's face.

"No, I think you'll have to go home for the holidays -" Dumbledore poured a basin of cold water over Harry's head.

"Ah——, why?" Harry was stunned.

You know, he knows very well how the Dursleys treat him.Why would he go back when he had the chance to get away from his family?
Seeing Dumbledore's silent look, Harry's eyes were filled with confusion for a moment.

"Harry, I think I have to tell you!" After a moment, Dumbledore spoke slowly.

"What?" Harry was even more confused.

"Voldemort killed your parents and tasted failure in you, so I left you at the door of your uncle and aunt's house. At that time, I knew you would suffer. I knew you were destined to go through ten years of hardship... "Dumbledore turned his head and looked to the other side, seeming to see the scene of Harry's suffering in the past.

"Why?" Harry was surprised and couldn't help but ask after remembering what he had experienced at the Dursley's.

"Yes, I know you will ask this - and of course there are reasons to ask - why is it like this? Why didn't I leave you in a wizarding family? Many families are not only happy to do this, but will treat you as They will feel honored and happy to raise them as their own sons, just like the Weasley family." Dumbledore took off his half-moon glasses, cast a spell to clean them, and put them back on.

Yes, why is this?Harry said nothing, but he was thinking this in his heart.Harry became even more curious when he thought about the possibility of growing up in the Weasley family.

"My answer is that the first thing I have to consider is to let you survive. Because your situation will be more dangerous than others. At that time, everyone knew that you stopped Voldemort and he was defeated. But his Supporters are still at large."

Dumbledore paused and then said, "Those Death Eaters are all angry and brutal desperadoes, and many of them are as terrifying as Voldemort."

"But what does it matter?" Harry couldn't help but ask.

"I announced to the outside world that Voldemort has been completely killed, but do I really believe that Voldemort has disappeared forever? No, I don't believe it. Although I don't know when he will come back, whether in ten or 20 years, 50 years, but I know he will come back."

"He's going to kill me when he comes back!" Harry recalled the incident in the first grade when Voldemort possessed Professor Quirrell.

"Yes, from what I know about him, I am sure that he will not sit still and wait for death before killing you!" Dumbledore nodded, "I know that Voldemort may have more magical knowledge than any wizard alive today. For broad.

I also know that once he regains all his magic power, I may not be his opponent even if I use the most complex and powerful spells. "

"Does this have anything to do with me living at the Dursleys?" Harry had a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"You are very smart, Harry!" Dumbledore expressed some emotion and nodded to Harry, "Your mother gave up her life to save you, and she left you with an unexpected and lasting protection. This Protection runs in your blood to this day.

Voldemort paid the price for your mother's protection.So, trusting in your mother's blood, I hand you over to his sister, her only surviving relative. "

"But, she doesn't like me." Harry couldn't help but interrupt, "She didn't give me what I should have -"

"Oh -, but she took you in." Dumbledore interrupted him, "She may have been reluctant, unhappy, reluctant, and took you in with complaints. But she accepted you after all.

This allows me to cast a spell on you and let the protection left in your blood through your mother's sacrifice become your greatest protective barrier in the form of blood ties. "

"Blood ties?" Harry repeated the word.

"Yes, as long as you can still call a place with your mother's blood home, then you will not be disturbed or harmed by Voldemort there.

Voldemort made her bleed, but that blood is still in you and her sister.Her blood becomes your refuge.As long as you call it home, you need to go back every year.As long as you're there, Voldemort can't hurt you.

Your aunt knew this, and I left the letter at her door, in which I explained what I had done to you.She knows that keeping you at home will ensure that you are safe and sound for the past 13 years..."

"So, do I have to return to the Dursleys every year?" Harry, who was stunned for a moment, suddenly felt a little depressed.

"I'm afraid so, Harry!" Dumbledore nodded.

"That's really too bad." Harry was dismayed to get an affirmative answer.

"It's nothing to be unhappy about. Think about it, you can still live with Sirius during Halloween, Christmas and other times." Dumbledore comforted Harry.

"Headmaster, you are right -" Harry took a long breath, then seemed to remember something, and looked at him with burning eyes, "Some time ago, you said in the newspaper that Voldemort had been killed. Is it really possible?" To prevent Voldemort's resurrection?"

"No, I don't think we can prevent his resurrection." Dumbledore shook his head and said.

"Is that to delay time?" Thinking of what Professor Eisen once said, Harry suddenly understood.

"That's right -" Looking at the scar on Harry's forehead, Dumbledore nodded and said nothing more.

……

After a few minutes, Harry had regained his composure. He looked at Dumbledore and spoke.

"Professor Dumbledore, are you okay?"

When Harry spoke like this, it seemed that he was planning to say goodbye to him.

"Well——, I do have something I need to ask you." Dumbledore looked calm on the surface, but his heart was extremely complicated at this moment.

"What is it?" Harry looked at Dumbledore, a little uneasy.

"Does the scar on your head still hurt recently?" Dumbledore took out his wand and touched the scar on Harry's forehead.

"It's happened before, but not recently. Is there any problem?" Harry stroked the scar on his forehead and looked at Dumbledore suspiciously.

"Yes, I'm going to cast a spell on you. You can sit on the chair next to me." Dumbledore said slowly, letting Harry sit aside.

Although Harry felt strange when he saw Dumbledore's solemn look, he didn't say anything and sat down directly.

Then, Dumbledore fumbled for something in his arms, and after a moment, he took out a crystal clear black gem and handed it to Harry.

"Headmaster, what is this?" Harry couldn't help asking as he looked at the octahedral black gem in his hand.

"Something to keep you safe-" Dumbledore took out another bracelet and put it on Harry's wrist.

"This—" Harry held the black gem in one hand and wore a crystal-clear bracelet in the other, feeling a little uneasy.

After taking a deep breath, Dumbledore aimed his wand at Harry.

"Astral projection—"

Harry only heard the voice of Professor Dumbledore chanting a spell, and then saw a light coming from the opponent's wand and hitting him, and then lost consciousness.
