Chapter 867: The border between life and death
Listening to Dumbledore's words, Harry was stunned, the blue eyes under those glasses stared, and his back felt even colder.
"You mean... Snape took me to Voldemort to follow your instructions... Do you want Voldemort to kill me?" Harry couldn't help but stepped back and stammered. With a touch of anger and horror.
"No, no one wants you to die here, Harry," Dumbledore said comfortingly. "In fact all the plans are to avoid this as much as possible!"
"But I'm dead now, am I?" Harry glared at Dumbledore angrily, but the latter blinked at him and said briskly. "It's not necessarily..."
Harry was completely confused. He didn't quite understand what Dumbledore meant, but he clearly remembered that he was hit by Voldemort's killing curse. Because he didn't have a magic wand, he couldn't even resist...
"I remember, I should have explained the reason to you, about why Voldemort couldn't hurt you." Dumbledore said with a smile.
"Is it the protection curse?" Harry thought of this at once, but the doubts in his heart did not abate. According to his understanding, when Voldemort was resurrected last year, the protection curse should have completely expired.
In order to confirm this, Voldemort tried to touch his body, but did not suffer any harm.
Harry looked at Dumbledore in surprise, waiting for his answer.
"Ah, what should I tell you, Voldemort was wise and added your blood when he was resurrected. One could break the curse in that way, but he didn't know that this would reinforce the power of the protective curse. It deepens the connection between you." Dumbledore said briskly.
"Then why do you want Snape to hand me over to Voldemort?" Harry was still a little puzzled, and kept asking.
Dumbledore was silent for a long time, seeming to hesitate how to answer this question.
Harry didn't urge, but waited quietly. I don't know how long it took before Dumbledore finally recovered.
"Don't you wonder why you can get into Voldemort's brain?" Dumbledore asked slowly, and then when Harry was thinking, he pointed his finger at the dark red skin in front of him, it looked like The crumpled child. "Looking at him, what do you think of?"
"He's a bit like... Voldemort?" Harry looked carefully for a while, and couldn't help but recalled the baby-like black demon he had seen last year. The two looked very similar.
"That's part of Voldemort's soul." Dumbledore said straightforwardly, looking at Harry.
"Just shortly after you were born, the night Voldemort planned to kill you, because of the protection curse, the killing curse that Voldemort released on you was bounced back. At the same time, his soul was severely damaged, and part of it was separated from the Lord. The soul is attached to the only living person in the room."
"His Horcrux is attached to me... so I am also Voldemort's Horcrux?" Harry's brain seemed to be short-circuited. He couldn't believe it was true, but reason told him Dumbledore. Yes, only in this way can I explain why I can communicate with Voldemort.
"It used to be exactly! But now your soul is complete, Harry, he is completely yours!" Dumbledore said happily.
"Voldemort can't kill me, so the Killing Curse was applied to that part of the soul?" Harry guessed.
"Yes!" Dumbledore nodded.
"Then am I still alive?" Harry asked quickly.
"Of course!" Dumbledore said positively. "However, if you don't have any nostalgia for that world, you can also choose to move on..."
With that, Dumbledore looked farther away.
Harry followed Dumbledore's gaze, but was shrouded in white mist and could not see anything.
Despite his curiosity, Harry finally resisted it because he didn't have much interest in the afterlife and didn't plan to throw himself into death now.
In contrast, he wanted to know why Snape would be willing to take such a big risk to help him get rid of Horcrux.
Dumbledore didn’t mean to conceal it, and directly explained the cause and effect of the incident, including the grievances between Snape, Lily, and James more than ten years ago, and Snape eavesdropped on prophecies and told them. The Voldemort thing.
"The reason why he is willing to shelter you, I think half is out of love for your mother, and the other half is out of guilt...It was Snape who relayed the overheard prophecy to Voldemort that caused the tragedy. And this result was not what he wanted—he killed his favorite person."
Dumbledore said with emotion that he could understand Snape's guilty state of mind. After all, he had done some wrong things in his early years and ignored the deaths of too many people. This is why he was willing to trust Snape. one.
Harry was silent for a long time, and his mood was very complicated. It stands to reason that he should hate Snape very much. Without the other party's informant, he might be able to snuggle by his parents and enjoy a good childhood.
But considering that Snape had taken great risks lurking by Voldemort's side over the years, and tried his best to keep him alive, even Voldemort dared to calculate, the hatred that surged in Harry's heart faded a lot.
And the deaths of James and Lily are not the responsibility of Snape alone~www.mtlnovel.com~ The age of horror created by Voldemort is the root of everything. As members of the Order of the Phoenix, they are always in danger.
There is also Pettigrew-Peter, without his betrayal, Voldemort would not be able to find the location of the safe house.
"I'm sorry, I can only keep these things from you, Harry," Dumbledore said apologetically.
"You're right, Professor..." Harry shook his head. Since he is Voldemort's Horcrux, it means that the information he knows will be known to Voldemort with a high probability.
Once the news leaks, Snape, as a double agent, is in danger...
So even though he was very angry that he had been played around during this period of time, Harry finally chose to forgive him.
Seeing Harry could understand his good intentions, Dumbledore's face also raised a little smile, but the next moment he seemed to sense something, looked behind Harry, and said.
"It seems that you must go back soon, Harry, Severus is in some trouble, he may need your help."
