Chapter 188 Dumbledore’s old friend

He didn't sleep very well at night, and he didn't sleep well during the day. It was in the afternoon when Ma En woke up completely, and Esther was lying on his back next to him and looking at the ceiling.

"What's the matter, dear."

"It's nothing, just relax for a while... This kind of life was something I couldn't even imagine before I entered school. It always feels a bit unreal."

"I think it might be a lot better if you wash your face and sober up."

Aster chuckled: "I don't, if this is a lie, then let me live in a dream..."

"That's fine, then you can spend the day dirty."

"Well...actually I want to take a shower directly...but I don't want to move..."

Ma En thought for a moment: "It's time for me to take a shower too. I got up twice last night and worked for most of the night... Let's take a shower."

"You carry me."

Ma En shook his head, waved his hand, and closed the curtains, leaving only a window for lighting in the corner where no one could see in. He stood naked on the ground and walked into the corner of the room with Esther in his arms. bathroom.

After washing for more than an hour, the main girl had some trouble taking a bath. When the two of them went down to the first floor, a group of people were decorating the hall. Ma En looked at a gray-haired old man who got a huge Christmas tree from nowhere...

"Rian, you are crazy. Dumbledore is so old, you let him do this?" Marn pointed at Dumbledore who didn't know when he would come back, and Ryan who was directing the employees who came to help with the work. said.

Ryan was also a little helpless: "Do you think I dare...I can't stop you no matter what."

After setting up the Christmas tree in a suitable location, Dumbledore clapped his hands, walked over and said, "I don't blame your dad. I haven't participated in this kind of family gathering for many years. I always want to do something with my hands."

"Okay, just take care of yourself."

Dumbledore nodded and then asked: "I heard from Professor McGonagall that Hogwarts was very lively last night."

Ma En waved his hands repeatedly: "I don't want this kind of excitement to happen again. I feel sorry for you, Professor Trelawney, and I think so too. Professor, I have a question."

"what?"

"Professor Trelawney is obviously not dead, so why was the Horcrux successfully made?"

Dumbledore stretched out his hand and stroked the beard on his chest: "I have thought about this issue. Mr. Potter is not the kind of person who can be controlled easily without any willpower. He is indeed under the Imperius Curse, but The purpose of this Imperius Curse should be to maintain the dormant state of his own soul, and then activate the fragment of Voldemort embedded in his soul, and then use the Death Curse to shake off the fragment and transfer it."

"In other words, it's not that Harry made a Horcrux, but that Voldemort changed a container to store the fragments." Ma En concluded.

"That should be the case, but it's not necessarily the case. Sometimes you don't have to kill people to make a Horcrux. You just need to cast a spell with the malicious intention of killing, which can cause your own soul to loosen. As for whether the victim dies or not, , but it’s not that important.”

Marn nodded slightly and said no more. Instead, Dumbledore mentioned another thing.

"I have an old friend who wants to meet you, but Gran doesn't agree. I chatted with him for a long time and he asked me to ask for your opinion."

"Old friend?"

"The one who lives in prison."

Marn thought for a moment: "You mean the resident in Austria?"

"Well...Actually, he is no longer in Austria. Gran took him to another place. He was afraid that Voldemort would harm him."

"What did Professor Walder say?"

"He is actually afraid that you will be led astray by him. Gellert's thoughts are very dangerous. Although they overlap with his to some extent, they are very extreme."

"I hope he won't cause trouble for Walder. The old guy has already worked hard enough."

Dumbledore shook his head: "No, he is extremely weak now. If Gran does not agree, with his strength, he will not be able to get out anywhere."

His family knew his own affairs, and Ma En understood that his thoughts were already mature and could not be influenced by a few words from a random person. He didn't mind meeting an old man, but he still asked with some doubts. :

"Why does he want to see me?"

"Actually, it's nothing. He just wants to see what kind of person Gran has been since he was a child and have a few words with this person personally."

After thinking about it for a moment, Ma En said: "It will probably disappoint him. Then... when?"

"If you're willing, we'll go there later and we'll be back soon."

"Okay, as soon as possible." Marn nodded and agreed with Dumbledore's statement.

In fact, he originally went to Computing to stay for a while today, but he had been sleeping in the morning. Trelawney had to help decorate the school auditorium in the afternoon, so Computing would not be idle either.

Moreover, Ma En estimated that Comptin was not in the mood to talk to him right now. He was most likely still wandering around the school, trying to find the person who seriously injured his beloved wife.

"Also, ask a few little witches to come together. They are all Professor Wald's apprentices. Let Gellert take a look."

Everything else was easy to say, but Marn hesitated about Dumbledore's proposal: "Professor... this is not good, what if he..."

"Don't worry, I know this friend of mine. He hasn't gone so far as to influence the minds of a few children. Instead of worrying about him affecting you, I'm more worried about him affecting Gran. Their relationship in the past was too close. "

Marn knew a little about the story between Dumbledore and the former Demon King, and asked with a smile: "Is his relationship with Professor Walder closer than that with you?"

Dumbledore didn't feel embarrassed at all. In his impression, it was normal for Margaery to know more than others when there was Margaery by his side. After thinking for a moment about how to describe it, he said: "We The relationship between them is actually not different. I can only say that...in some aspects, he is indeed closer to Gran. Of course, it is definitely not the kind you think. I can't say more about this. You can ask Professor Wald later. This matter---if he is willing to tell you."

"Forget it, with Old Walder's personality, he must have dismissed me with the sentence "I'll tell you when you grow up." He knows me too well and knows that my questions are limited to three minutes, don't say Grow up and the next day I won’t care about it anymore.”

Dumbledore nodded and agreed with him: "Actually, it's not just you, he and I are like this too. If you don't want to say anything, you will always tell me when the time is right. But the difference is that I am more patient than you and always know what you want." I know, although the process may be a little long.”
