Chapter 757

~6 min read 1,155 words

Harry also saw Darren let Dumbledore erase his memory.

Next was the private conversation between Dumbledore and Darren.

Darren looked at Dumbledore with red eyes.

“Headmaster, can your method let Harry live?”

Harry saw Darren’s body trembling.

After Dumbledore nodded, Darren pleaded: “Then, I beg you, I beg you to let him survive, no matter what the method is… if you need help, you can find me, I can pay anything… no matter what!”

“Including your life?”

Dumbledore asked softly.

Darren nodded.

“Yes, my life, even my soul!”

The memory ended.

Harry was pulled out by Dumbledore.

He said softly: “After this conversation, Darren should have been researching how to get your soul onto him.

I always felt that he was wishful thinking, so I didn’t stop him.

He might also feel that my method was a bit risky, so he didn’t quite approve of letting you…

However, I thought that in the end, he should have decided to let you face Voldemort yourself.

Otherwise, he couldn’t have dragged it out until the very last moment to put Voldemort’s soul into his own soul.

It was just your rejection of him, and his own loathing of his bloodline, that made him walk such a path.”

Harry covered his face sorrowfully.

“However, you still didn’t say why you let Darren go to his death!”

Harry asked again.

Dumbledore was silent.

He sighed softly: “Yes, I was hesitating at the time, whether I should stop him.

Actually, as long as I appeared, Darren might have given up on this way of dying, but I didn’t do it.

Because I knew he wanted to go to his death himself.

He didn’t care how he died; we could stop him from dying this way, but we couldn’t stop him from killing himself in the wild when we weren’t paying attention.

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, shocked.

“How could you think that?”

“I wasn’t just guessing randomly. I never thought that Tom would actually feel love.

I also don’t know when it started, Tom had already begun to value Darren more and more.

I thought this was my illusion, but when I subconsciously used Legilimency on Darren once…”

“Yes, this is my despicable side, I cannot refute it.

When I used Legilimency on Darren, I discovered that a memory of Darren’s had been modified…

I spent a lot of effort and finally extracted that memory from his mind… perhaps, Harry, you should accompany me to see it.

This memory made me doubt Darren’s background, and it was also after I knew this memory that I felt I couldn’t let Darren face Voldemort!”

Dumbledore’s eyes were red, and he took out another small glass bottle.

He poured the silver memory inside into the Pensieve.

Harry was brought inside by him.

He saw the struggle between Voldemort and Darren.

Dumbledore explained from the side: “This was when I let Darren go on a mission in his fifth year, he encountered Voldemort… now they are fighting, look carefully at Voldemort’s situation.”

Harry watched Voldemort’s wand waving continuously, and a funny expression appeared on his face.

Watching and watching, 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, he is guiding Darren’s growth!”

“He, he is just because Darren has his bloodline?”

Harry asked in disbelief.

Dumbledore nodded.

He sighed softly: “Yes, I was truly stunned at the time, of course, you continue to watch, what follows is the reason why I didn’t intend to let Darren face Voldemort.”

Harry continued to look down.

Only then did he discover that Darren in his fifth year really couldn’t beat Voldemort.

He could only use the method of perishing together.

Both Darren’s and Voldemort’s bodies were injured by the explosion.

Even the sound of explosions kept ringing out.

Harry thought that in this situation, Darren would very likely die.

But Darren didn’t die.

Darren was taken by Voldemort to Apparate together.

Voldemort even sent him potions.

Finally, Voldemort modified Darren’s memory.

Only then did Darren return to Grimmauld Place.

Harry was pulled out of the Pensieve by Dumbledore again.

Shock still remained 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, and finally modified Darren’s memory.

This is the reason for my fear, Voldemort has love now, Voldemort has been very good to Darren from beginning to end.

He kept Darren at school, not allowing him to find you, besides being angry that he was causing trouble with you, it was more because he was worried about him wandering.

Although Darren’s life at school wasn’t very good, in fact, as long as he wasn’t feeling bad in his own heart at school, 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 isn’t a fool, after he found out he had Voldemort’s bloodline, he understood everything; do you think he could still kill Voldemort with his own hands?”

“I was even worried that he might even save Voldemort…”

The office became quiet for a long time.

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 longed for fatherly love, he would never again use that kind of magic with killing intent on Voldemort.

So this was also one of the reasons why Darren himself wanted to head toward death.

“So, Harry, have you thought of a method? Have you thought of a method to let Darren come back to life without heading toward death again?”

Dumbledore suddenly asked.

Harry’s face turned pale.

He couldn’t think of a method.

Over the past year, Darren had become increasingly cold and detached, and he had less and less of an aura of wanting to live.

Plus, he still had Voldemort’s bloodline on him, how would he be willing to come back?

“Can we erase all the memories in Darren’s mind about Voldemort?”

Harry asked tentatively.

Dumbledore shook his head.

“Forgot to tell you, after I constantly used Legilimency, Obliviate, and let him self-study memory spells on Darren, he had already become a very powerful memory master.

Although he didn’t reject others checking his memories, if his memories were missing, he would discover it.

So, don’t think about this method of erasing memories.”

Dumbledore said.

Suddenly a voice shouted: “Headmaster, Severus Snape is visiting!”
