Chapter 1041

"I haven't felt pain... but, Headmaster Dumbledore, how did you know my scar hurt during the summer holidays?"

"Oh, you aren't the only ones writing to Sirius; I am writing to him as well, and it was I who asked him to return."

Dumbledore looked at the Pensieve, speaking without raising his head.

Harry and Darren both wore expressions of shock.

Of course, they quickly accepted this explanation.

Harry hurriedly continued to ask: "Headmaster Dumbledore, why can I see those images through my scar?"

"On the night Voldemort wanted to kill you... that unsuccessful curse connected you and him together."

After finishing, he looked at Darren.

"Darren, have you seen the images that Harry has seen?"

"No."

Darren said honestly.

Harry looked puzzled.

"Didn't that curse only connect me and Voldemort?"

Dumbledore shook his head.

He hesitated for a moment and said: "In your first year, when he tortured Darren with the Cruciatus Curse, he actually connected himself to Darren as well."

Harry's face turned pale instantly.

He remembered.

Previously, when he and Hermione and the others entered Dumbledore's office and peeked at Darren being fed Veritaserum, Dumbledore had said this to Snape.

Darren had a connection with Voldemort.

He hadn't paid attention at the time, but now... how could this be?

He had never thought that, besides making Darren suffer the Cruciatus Curse for so long, it had also created a connection between him and Voldemort.

"Of course, it is only a small connection, not as much as the one between you and Voldemort.

Otherwise, Darren wouldn't be unable to feel anything happening on Voldemort's side at all.

However... Darren, could you open your mind and let me take a look?"

Uh.

Looking again.

Darren suddenly remembered.

It seemed that besides having a soul fragment of Voldemort, he also had a soul fragment of Dumbledore's sister.

Because Ariana was always too talkative, he worried that if he suddenly spoke to her one day, he wouldn't be able to hide it.

So he had the system block the connection between him and Ariana.

Come to think of it, during Dumbledore's first probe, this child had hidden behind Voldemort's soul, causing Dumbledore to fail to find Ariana.

He didn't know if Ariana would take the initiative to step out this time.

But all of this had nothing to do with Darren.

Previously, he hadn't wanted Dumbledore to know about the existence of Ariana in his mind.

It was mainly because he was worried that if Dumbledore really went crazy because he wanted to see his sister, would he take action against him?

But now that he had the bloodlines of Grindelwald and Dumbledore, he knew without thinking that Dumbledore certainly wouldn't do anything to harm him.

So he smiled and stood in front of Dumbledore, saying: "Headmaster, go ahead and look!"

Dumbledore sighed.

This child was always so defenseless.

He picked up his wand and placed it in front of Darren's head.

Although he had looked at the soul fragments in Darren's mind before, he didn't know if there had been any changes now.

Following Dumbledore's probe.

Darren also temporarily turned off the shielding for Ariana.

Then he discovered that, after two years of not seeing her, Ariana still seemed to be that cute little girl from before.

Of course, she was still chattering away.

"Hmm, big brother is deceiving children again, Darren is so pitiful, bad big brother!"

"Should I let bad big brother see me?"

"But... that soul fragment is already about to be gone..."

Ariana said, conflicted.

Darren only then realized.

The soul fragment of Voldemort, which wasn't very big to begin with, was now truly just a fragment.

And it was about to disappear immediately.

Good heavens, what on earth had happened?

How had his large piece of Voldemort's soul fragment disappeared?

Because he didn't want to communicate with Ariana, he could only ask the system.

After paying 1,000 Fatherly Points, he learned that Ariana had eaten Voldemort's soul fragment.

Eaten...

Darren felt completely stunned.

Although he had also quite disliked having Voldemort's soul fragment in his soul.

But still... eaten... the little girl really had a good appetite.

Of course.
