Chapter 1586
Because I knew he wanted to die himself.
He didn't care how he died; if we stopped him from dying this way, we couldn't stop him from killing himself in the wild when we weren't looking.
So, I let him be.
What's more, I was also worried that he couldn't bear to kill Voldemort..."
Dumbledore said hesitantly.
Harry looked at him, horrified.
"How could you think that?"
"I wasn't just guessing randomly. I never thought Tom would actually feel love.
I also don't know when it started, but Tom had begun to value Darren more and more.
I thought it was my imagination, but when I once subconsciously used Legilimency on Darren...
Yes, this is my despicable side, I cannot deny it.
When I used Legilimency on Darren, I discovered that one of Darren's memories had been altered...
I spent a great deal of effort to finally extract that memory from his mind... Perhaps, Harry, you should watch it with me.
This memory made me suspicious of Darren's background, and it was only after I knew about this memory that I felt I couldn't let Darren face Voldemort!"
Dumbledore, with red eyes, took out another small glass vial.
He poured the silver memory inside into the Pensieve.
Harry was taken inside by him.
He saw the struggle between Voldemort and Darren.
Dumbledore explained from the side, "This was when I sent Darren on a mission in his fifth year, and he encountered Voldemort... Now they are fighting, look closely at Voldemort's situation."
Harry watched Voldemort's wand waving continuously, a look of amusement on his face.
As he watched, he suddenly shouted, "Voldemort is holding back!"
Dumbledore nodded.
"Yes, Voldemort is holding back. He didn't use the Killing Curse, and some other terrifying spells, he didn't use them either. He is guiding Darren's growth!"
"He, he is only doing this because Darren has his bloodline?"
Harry asked in disbelief.
Dumbledore nodded.
He sighed softly, "Yes, I was truly stunned at the time. Of course, keep watching; what follows is the reason I didn't intend to let Darren face Voldemort."
Harry continued to watch.
Only then did he discover that the fifth-year Darren really couldn't beat Voldemort.
He could only use a method of mutual destruction.
Both Darren's and Voldemort's bodies were blasted and injured.
Even the sounds of explosions rang out continuously.
Harry thought that in this situation, Darren would very likely die.
But Darren did not die.
Darren was taken away by Voldemort via Apparition.
Voldemort even gave him potions.
Finally, Voldemort altered Darren's memory.
Only then did Darren return to Grimmauld Place.
Harry was pulled out of the Pensieve by Dumbledore again.
Shock still lingered on Harry's face.
"Voldemort actually fed Darren potions!"
He said in disbelief.
Dumbledore nodded.
He said irritably, "Yes, besides feeding him potions, he was also worried that Darren wouldn't accept his potions, so he ended up altering Darren's memory.
This is the reason for my fear. Voldemort has love; Voldemort has been good to Darren from beginning to end.
He kept Darren at school and didn't allow him to find you all. Besides being angry that he was causing trouble with you, it was more out of worry that he would wander.
Although Darren's life at school wasn't very good, in fact, as long as he wasn't feeling bad inside and wasn't torturing himself, he didn't suffer much torture...
Yes, I know you want to say the Carrows tortured him, but that was more because he insulted Voldemort in public; he deliberately provoked the Carrows.
But in fact, the torture he received was far less cruel than what they did to others.
Darren is not a fool. After he learned that he had Voldemort's bloodline, he understood everything. Do you think he could still kill Voldemort with his own hands?
I'm even worried that he might even save Voldemort..."
The office fell into a long silence.
Harry looked at Darren's pale face. He thought about Darren's daily actions.
He took a deep breath.
Darren wouldn't have the heart to kill Voldemort.
For Darren, who craved fatherly love, he would never again use that kind of murderous magic on Voldemort.
So this is also one of the reasons why Darren wanted to head toward death himself.
"So, Harry, have you thought of a way? A way to let Darren come back to life and not head toward death again?"
Dumbledore asked suddenly.
Harry's face turned pale.
He couldn't think of a way.
Over the past year, Darren had become increasingly cold and detached; he had less and less of a desire to live.
Coupled with the fact that he had Voldemort's bloodline, why would he be willing to come back?
"Can we erase the memories of Voldemort in Darren's mind?"
Harry asked tentatively.
Dumbledore shook his head.
"Forgot to tell you, after I constantly used Legilimency and Obliviate on Darren, and let him self-study memory spells, he has already become a very powerful memory master.
Although he doesn't reject others checking his memories, if his memories were missing, he would notice.
So, don't even think about this method of erasing memories."
Dumbledore said.
Suddenly a voice called out, "Headmaster, Severus Snape is here to visit!"
