Chapter 756
“Yes, child, you are right, Voldemort took your blood and shaped his body with your blood.
Now Lily’s charm flows inside both of your bodies, so as long as he doesn’t die, you won’t die.”
Harry was stunned.
His gaze couldn’t help but fall on Darren.
He almost couldn’t control the trembling and anger in his body.
“You clearly knew I wouldn’t die, why didn’t you stop Darren? Why? Why did you watch him die with your own eyes?”
Dumbledore was silent.
He seemed to be thinking about how to explain it.
Finally, he thought it through.
He sighed and said: “At the beginning, after I knew Darren possessed Voldemort’s bloodline, I changed the plan of you going to your death into letting him die…”
“You wanted to kill Voldemort completely, even Darren who possesses his bloodline,” Harry blurted out.
But Dumbledore wasn’t angry.
He shook his head and said: “Not at all, I knew Darren possessed my bloodline when you were in your third year…
Yes, Darren also has Gellert’s bloodline.
Even in his soul, there is also the soul fragment of my sister Ariana, I have always been unwilling to let him have even the slightest mishap.
Even if I knew he had Voldemort’s bloodline on him, I was never angry, never looked down on him.
Harry, do you still not understand? The one who pushed Darren to this step today was not me, but himself, and you!”
Harry glared at him.
Dumbledore cruelly dissected everything for him to see.
“Do you still not understand?
Darren himself couldn’t tolerate having such a bloodline, and as his brother, you didn’t help him accept these…”
“It was too late at the time…”
Harry subconsciously defended himself.
But after looking at Dumbledore’s gaze, he covered his eyes, trembling.
Yes.
He minded it very much in his heart at the time.
He still loved Darren, but he minded Voldemort’s bloodline very much.
Darren was so smart, he must have seen his rejection long ago.
After Darren found out he had Voldemort’s bloodline, he chose this path for himself.
“He actually had other methods, as long as he waited a little longer, Ariana could actually swallow Voldemort’s soul.
However, he didn’t do that, he went to Voldemort’s place personally, like a gentle lamb, and let Voldemort kill himself with his own hands.”
Harry’s body trembled.
“Alright, Harry, I’m not saying this to make you feel guilty, I just want to tell you his psychological journey.
I didn’t rush to let him come back to life, because he would feel… that he is very dirty.
No matter how much I explain, he would think that having Voldemort’s bloodline on him is truly disgusting.
If he isn’t made to understand these things, he will head toward destruction again…
Besides, there will also be some people who don’t know the truth who will speak ill behind his back; I think, if you can’t guarantee that he will completely walk out of it, perhaps I should let him continue on, so we don’t save him and he dies again.”
Harry looked at him blankly.
“Can you really save him?”
“Yes, I have many ways to save him, but I haven’t saved him for the time being, I am stumped by this problem.
This is the key to whether he can truly come back to life.”
Harry was almost in disbelief.
But he suddenly shouted excitedly: “This is truly great, I will definitely make him get better, he listens to me the most…”
“No no no, Harry, you performed too poorly before, I don’t quite believe you, I think you should come up with a concrete method first.
Before that, let’s talk about other problems, I think, before Darren wakes up, I have the necessity to tell you everything.
Of course you can also ask me questions, whatever I can say, I will tell you.”
Harry looked at Darren for a long while, and finally, he faced Dumbledore properly.
“Deathly Hallows, I want to know about the Deathly Hallows!”
“Yes, the Deathly Hallows…”
Dumbledore lowered his head in annoyance.
He covered his eyes.
Said somewhat sadly:
“I don’t distrust you, I just didn’t dare to tell you, and Darren is so upright…
I let him come into contact with Gellert, but never properly told him about everything between Gellert and me.
I was afraid that after telling you, you would loathe me, especially Darren, would he stay far away from me?
He has my bloodline, just like Severus said, at the very beginning I could still distance myself from him, later I couldn’t bear to.
I constantly wanted to show my omnipotence in front of him, my selfishness told me that this way he would worship me even more.
I thought about telling him everything from the past, but then felt that as long as I didn’t say it, no one would know.
This way he would never know what a wicked person I am.”
Dumbledore said sorrowfully.
Harry could only listen quietly.
“Then why don’t you wait until Darren wakes up to tell him?”
He had a sudden inspiration.
Dumbledore refused immediately.
“No, I don’t dare… I don’t dare to meet him, he already knows everything about me, I don’t dare to see his loathing gaze…”
Dumbledore said timidly.
Harry shook his head helplessly.
He continued to ask: “Then, about Darren’s matter, what else can you tell me?”
“Yes, yes, we should discuss Darren…
I think you should have known from Severus’s memory that Darren actually knew you were a Horcrux.”
Harry nodded.
Dumbledore sighed softly: “Then, let me show you what we talked about that night.”
He took a glass bottle from his body.
And inside was the silver memory.
“This is my memory, come in with me!”
Harry’s feet landed on the ground.
This was still Dumbledore’s office.
He and Darren were both sitting there.
He heard Darren discussing exactly how many Horcruxes there were.
He had an impression of these in his memory.
This was the last time they had a lesson in Dumbledore’s office last year.
He remembered everything before this.
But after Darren made it clear about the Horcruxes, Harry didn’t remember.
He thought he hadn’t participated in this part.
But Dumbledore didn’t explain.
He could only look down.
He saw Darren ask sorrowfully: “Then, is the thing in brother’s mind the soul?”
Harry also saw himself say in disbelief: “If what is in the mind is a soul, wouldn’t that make it a Horcrux?”
“Yes, this is the thing I have been hiding from you!”
Harry heard Dumbledore finally admit this point.
So, that early on, Darren already knew he was Voldemort’s Horcrux?
