Harry woke up not long after sleeping in the makeshift tent. There was a lot of noise outside. He felt for his glasses next to his pillow, put them on, and sat up from the bed. The tent was empty, with only Professor Hep sitting at the door, but he looked a little absent-minded.

"You're awake, Harry," said Felix.

"Professor? How long have I slept?" Harry asked drowsily.

"About an hour."

"What about the others?"

"They all have things to do. Today is as long as a lifetime for some people..." Felix said, still looking outside. He had the Book of Runes on his knees, but he didn't read it. "Don't worry, Ron and the others have been sent back to school."

Harry felt relieved to hear that, but then he thought of another question: "Where is Headmaster Dumbledore? He, me, Bellatrix--"

"Oh, I know what you are going to say. Dumbledore left just for this."

"Did he go looking for the Horcruxes?" Harry asked hopefully.

"Yes, he thought of some clues and rushed to confirm them." Felix glanced at Harry, who couldn't hide the joy on his face. He couldn't help but pour a bucket of cold water on him: "Don't be too optimistic. The probability of Dumbledore gaining something is very slim."

"Why do you say that?" Harry asked holding his breath.

He knew one thing, or rather, it was speculated by him, Ron and Hermione privately, combining the words of Sirius and Neville.

Sirius told him that the Ministry of Magic and the Order of the Phoenix had secretly sent people to monitor the Death Eaters whose names had been exposed but there was no solid evidence, and Neville inadvertently mentioned that the Longbottoms had tracked and investigated the Malfoy family and found Bellatrix's whereabouts.

"They severely thwarted the conspiracy of the mysterious man and almost caught her!"

Bellatrix, Harry muttered the name silently.

He knew this woman and had even seen her appearance many times on different occasions - wanted posters, newspapers, and in the Pensieve of Headmaster Dumbledore at the end of the last school year, and in the old photos he saw at the Black mansion.

It was hard for Harry to connect the young woman in the photo with the insane look she had when she was being interrogated in the Pensieve.

"Even if Voldemort gave the Horcrux to Bellatrix for safekeeping, he would not be able to give it to anyone else after today. He would definitely take it back. This is also one of Dumbledore's purposes, to alert the enemy."

"Did the headmaster wear the ring to actively expose that he knew about the Horcruxes?" Harry asked, but he already knew all the Horcruxes. "Can't we just quietly collect the Horcruxes and destroy them one by one?" he said unwillingly.

"It's difficult at this point." Felix said, "You can look at this problem from the perspective of Dumbledore and Voldemort, which will make it easier for you to understand. For Dumbledore, he has two most important demands. First, he wants to suppress Voldemort so that Voldemort dare not launch a full-scale war and keep the war at a low intensity. In fact, there have been conflicts before, but they are just conflicts. Compared with the war, the number of deaths is not worth mentioning."

"Second, he wants to confirm the last Horcrux as soon as possible. Yes, our expectations are not high, and now it has been successfully completed, thanks to you." Felix tilted his head in the direction of Harry and said, "But Dumbledore didn't consider your accident at that time."

Or maybe he did, Felix thought.

Dumbledore's ideas should be extremely contradictory. He and Felix both knew the simplest way to destroy the piece of Voldemort's soul in Harry's body, but no one mentioned it, but each of them looked for ways.

But with Dumbledore's wisdom, it is impossible that he had not considered the worst case scenario. He has been cultivating Harry intentionally or unintentionally, including letting him stay and watch the game today, which may be the embodiment of this contradictory idea.

"Both of these demands have been challenged." Harry lowered his head and pondered, "Voldemort has obtained the snakewood staff, and his power has become stronger. Even if he doesn't show up today, there will be other conspiracies. And the Horcruxes... Has the investigation of the Horcruxes reached a deadlock?"

"Before? Yes." Felix said.

"Then will Voldemort just throw the last Horcrux somewhere casually?" Harry thought of the loophole in the plan and said anxiously: "What if he threw it into the sea or buried it in the soil..."

"No." Felix said briefly.

"Why-"

"Because of you." Felix looked at Harry deeply, "In the past, Voldemort didn't know the connection between you, but you don't think that he didn't notice anything after he possessed you?"

Harry's expression was a little confused.

"He knows? He knows that I can see through his mind?"

Inevitably, Felix thought. It's just that it's not clear how much Voldemort knows. Voldemort may even know the identity of Harry's Horcrux. The probability is between two. But he will definitely find the connection between him and Harry.

Some things can't be concealed as long as they are carefully investigated, such as Harry's scar and Parseltongue, which are not secrets in school.

As the only one, no, the only two people who were still alive after being cursed, no one can tell what kind of connection there is between them, not to mention the protective magic cast by Harry's mother. The situation is even more complicated.

Voldemort may not be able to associate it with the Horcrux, because he has never actively split his soul.

But without knowing how close this connection is, it is extremely unwise to let the Horcrux out of his sight. What if Harry can track the Horcrux? This possibility is very small, but it will cause endless troubles for Voldemort.

For Voldemort, who only has one Horcrux left, is in a state of panic and has just experienced a major setback, do you dare to gamble?

So it is not an exaggeration to say that Harry is Voldemort's nemesis.

The tent fell into silence.

After an unknown amount of time, Dumbledore appeared in the tent. Harry and Felix raised their heads at the same time. Dumbledore was dusty. Harry found that the wrinkles on his face were back, and he didn't know if it was an illusion, but there were more than before.

Dumbledore shook his head silently, and Harry's heart sank.

"Harry, I'll take you back to school." Dumbledore said.

"What about Professor Happ?" Harry asked, standing up.

"He has his own things to do." Dumbledore said briefly. Harry didn't understand. Did 'this thing' mean sitting in a chair and staring blankly at the door of the tent? But he didn't ask. Dumbledore put his arm around Harry's shoulders. Harry struggled for a while and stammered.

"I'm sorry... I've caused you trouble."

"It's none of your business." Dumbledore said calmly.

"But I didn't listen to you and let Voldemort notice me." Harry said self-reproachfully, "I should have thought you could handle it... but I still couldn't help it."

He only knew that because of his impulsiveness, Voldemort discovered the connection between them. It would probably be difficult to dig out information from Voldemort's mind in the future. Voldemort would definitely be on guard against him and use brain occlusion...

To Harry's surprise, Dumbledore smiled for the first time since he appeared, and Professor Hep at the door also smiled.

"Harry," Dumbledore said patiently, "Of course I hope you will become mature and stable, but I don't want your growth to be at the cost of losing those shining points, kindness, courage, integrity... these are things that many people can't have in their lifetime. You have a clear conscience, Harry, you don't know how much I envy you."

He sighed softly and stroked the black gem ring on his hand.

For a long time, no one spoke until Fawkes flew in from outside, circled low in the tent twice, and landed on Dumbledore's shoulder. With a burst of fire, they disappeared in the tent.

Felix is ​​absent-minded, kind, honest, brave, and has a clear conscience...How many of these characteristics does he possess?
