Chapter 413 Confession

In Dumbledore's office in the forest villa, Mike and Dumbledore sat opposite each other, and no one spoke.

Mike lowered the brim of Flitwick's lucky hat on his head to prevent Dumbledore from seeing his current expression clearly.

To be honest, Dumbledore is indeed a respectable person. Although he has made some mistakes in his life, generally speaking, he has always been working hard for the safety of the entire wizarding world.

Mike has always respected Dumbledore in his heart, but unfortunately, the interests and ideas of both sides are in conflict.

What Mike wants is to forcibly reverse the status of half-bloods and Muggle wizards with powerful force in the shortest time and even directly promote the integration of wizard society and Muggle society. Although Dumbledore has also been working for the equality of blood, he is more inclined to gentle means.

Once Mike's plan is implemented, a shocking war will begin. At that time, countless people will inevitably sacrifice their lives for their own interests, and the entire wizarding society will be in chaos.

This is something Dumbledore will never allow.

As Dumbledore is the most powerful white wizard in the world, his plan will inevitably be devastated once he shows up.

In this case, for the greater good, Dumbledore cannot stay.

Thinking of this, Mike sighed and said slowly:

"Principal Dumbledore, you should have guessed something, right? The key to Voldemort's resurrection."

Facing Mike's question, Dumbledore did not speak, but made a gesture of invitation, indicating Mike to continue.

"Huh, Horcrux, it is a Horcrux, Principal Dumbledore." Mike continued, "The reason why Voldemort was able to resurrect is with the help of the power of the Horcrux. Remember the notebook that made Percy lose control in the second grade? It is one of Voldemort's Horcruxes. At that time, Percy was controlled by Tom Riddle's soul in the Horcrux, so he made so many weird moves. But fortunately, that Horcrux has been destroyed by me." As

he said, Mike waved his palm.

A ball of light blue light mist appeared out of thin air, forming a three-dimensional image of a notebook between the two.

Dumbledore on the other side frowned upon hearing this. He was very keenly aware of the key point in Mike's words and said seriously:

"You just said 'one of', right? That means Tom should have more than one Horcrux?"

"Yes, in fact, the Ravenclaw Diadem hidden in the Room of Requirement was also one of Voldemort's Horcruxes. At that time, I didn't know about the existence of such a thing as a Horcrux. I was just curious why there was a soul in the diadem that was extremely similar to the notebook, so I investigated this matter. In the end, I learned about the existence of Horcruxes in the book "High-end Black Magic Deciphered", and learned from Ms. Green that the person who cheated the diadem from her was Voldemort. It was not until this time that I finally knew that the diadem and the notebook were all Voldemort's Horcruxes, and they were also the key to his resurrection."

Dumbledore listened to Mike's story quietly, frowning even more.

Mike waited for his response expressionlessly. Mike knew very well that if all the plots were carried out according to the original book, Dumbledore should have known about the existence of Voldemort's Horcruxes long before.

But unfortunately, due to the appearance of Mike, many clues disappeared, which made Dumbledore completely unprepared, so now he needs more time to react.

Finally, Dumbledore, with a frown, turned his gaze back to Mike in front of him, and said angrily:

"In other words, you had discovered the existence of Voldemort's Horcruxes as early as the third grade, but you did not tell any professor. Moreover, you were the prisoner who broke into the restricted area that year. You stole a lot of forbidden knowledge from there and began to learn the dark arts. Everyone was wondering why you suddenly mastered such powerful dark magic and used it so skillfully. It turns out that you have actually started to learn these things."

"Principal Dumbledore, I admit that it was my fault to conceal the matter of the Horcruxes, but is there something wrong with your other focus?" Mike's expression was a little weird. He was stunned for a moment before he said angrily, "I don't think the matter of me sneaking into the restricted area to learn the dark magic is the key. Do you still want to expel me at this time?" Mike

's words were not polite at all. Dumbledore was not angry about this. He stared at Mike's eyes, while his right hand kept tapping on the table, making a rhythmic tapping sound.

After a while, Dumbledore's frown finally relaxed, and he stretched out his palms and said,

"Okay, I admit that the matter of the restricted area is not the key point now. I am just surprised that you have started to violate such a strict school rule as early as the third grade." As

soon as these words came out, Mike's eyebrows twitched again. Seeing this, Dumbledore immediately changed the subject and said,

"Okay, let's not talk about this. Go on, what else did you do after discovering Voldemort's Horcrux?"

"Making a Horcrux is a very difficult and dangerous job. After all, it requires splitting the soul, so most people will only make one even if they make a Horcrux. But Voldemort is different. He made two at once. It can be said that he is a complete lunatic." Mike leaned back in his chair and said with a relaxed expression, "Since he is a lunatic, common sense cannot be used to speculate. Since he made two Horcruxes, is it possible that there are other Horcruxes?

The first thing I thought of was the relics of the other three giants. After all, for every wizard from Hogwarts, it is a very cool thing to collect the relics of the four founders. So I started looking for the other three relics. Of course, I have no interest in the Sword of Gryffindor. After all, it must not be a Horcrux, otherwise it would have been discovered by you long ago. And after untold hardships, I finally got the Hufflepuff gold cup."

Hearing this, Dumbledore fell into an extremely nervous state. He saw that his whole body was constantly leaning forward towards Mike, and his expression was very serious.

Seeing this, Mike suddenly became interested. He kept the conversation a secret and started drinking the coffee on the table.

Dumbledore frowned again. He knocked on the table several times in dissatisfaction, urging Mike to continue.

A smile appeared on Mike's face. He put down the coffee cup, leaned forward, and finally whispered in Dumbledore's ear:

"I found that Hufflepuff's gold cup was also Voldemort's Horcrux, so I destroyed it."

Dumbledore took a breath, leaned back on the chair and said in a daze:

"That means the remaining Slytherin locket should also be Tom's Horcrux?"

"That's right, professor. You are indeed extremely intelligent. I guess the Sorting Hat must have wanted to assign you to Ravenclaw."

Dumbledore glanced at Mike coldly and ignored his joke, but continued:

"Then have you found the last pendant box?"

"Of course I found it, but I encountered some trouble in the process of obtaining it. This is why I told you all this, I need your help."

"Tell me about it."

"The pendant box is now in the hands of Chris Flint, the young patriarch of the Flint family." Mike spread his hands and said, "I once asked him for a deal, but unfortunately he didn't want to give me the pendant box, and even made a fake to fool me."

Hearing this, Dumbledore nodded, and said calmly:

"I know, I will ask him to hand over the pendant box. What about the remaining three Horcruxes?" After

these words came out, it was Mike's turn to be dumbfounded. He stared at Dumbledore, who had a calm face, and was stunned for a long time before saying:

"How do you know Voldemort has seven Horcruxes? I speculate that he only has six!"

"I know Tom very well." Dumbledore finally smiled. He seemed to be very happy to see Mike's surprised look, and there was even a hint of mockery in the smile on his face. "Don't forget, I was his professor. Tom has been fascinated by the number seven since he was a child. He thinks it is a magical number. So if he wants to make Horcruxes, the number will only be seven."

Mike was convinced now. He shook his head helplessly, leaned back in his chair and said,

"Okay, then I won't keep you in suspense. If Voldemort really has seven Horcruxes, then I should have destroyed four of them."

As he spoke, Mike waved his hand again, and a large group of light blue mist suddenly formed the shape of a crown and a golden cup in the air. As the last group of mist gradually turned into a python, Mike said:

"You should have known the first three, and the fourth one should be considered a pleasant surprise."

Looking at the lifelike python made of blue light mist in the air, Dumbledore murmured:

"Is this the python that attacked Arthur?"

"Yes, it is also one of Voldemort's Horcruxes. At that time, I told you that Harry was dreaming, but you didn't take it seriously, so I could only send people to protect Ron's family. I didn't expect that I would catch a big fish this time!"

Mike said excitedly. He was really proud of Nagini. Normally, Nagini should be the most difficult Horcrux to kill around Voldemort, but Voldemort was so arrogant that he sent a key creature like Nagini out to do field work without authorization!

Thinking of this, Mike wanted to dance happily.

"So the person who protected Arthur that night was also sent by you."

Dumbledore's serious tone made Mike stop his somewhat agitated arms, turned his head and looked at Dumbledore again.

Dumbledore looked so relieved that he even bent down and bowed to him.

"Thank you, Mike. If it weren't for you, Arthur would have died."

This salute scared Mike, and he quickly bowed to Dumbledore, with a greater angle than Dumbledore.

What a joke, although he and Dumbledore were destined to be enemies, Dumbledore was a respected elder, and being saluted by such an elder would shorten his life!

Thinking of this, Mike's forehead was covered with sweat.

Fortunately, Dumbledore's bow did not last too long. He soon straightened up and said sincerely:

"To be honest, Mike, I really didn't expect you to have made so many efforts in secret and achieved such outstanding achievements. Compared with you, we old guys seem useless. I really thank you very much."

"You are too kind, I just did what I should do."

Mike said so and straightened up.

"As a senior, I am really pleased to have a student like you, but I also feel a little guilty. After all, dealing with Voldemort should be our job." Dumbledore said with a smile, "Then leave the next job to us. I will find all the remaining three Horcruxes and solve them."

"Do you already know what the last two Horcruxes are?"

Mike asked knowingly.

He wanted to test Dumbledore's attitude towards Harry. At the same time, he was also worried that Dumbledore could not find the location of the Resurrection Stone ring. If Dumbledore really knew nothing about the Resurrection Stone, then he would not mind giving him some more hints.

However, it turned out that his concerns were completely unnecessary. Dumbledore's smile became even brighter, and he laughed:

"I said, I used to be Tom's teacher, and I know him very well. So I actually know what the remaining two Horcruxes are. But compared with other Horcruxes, these two Horcruxes are particularly dangerous, so just leave them to us."

Mike nodded, but the expression on his face was not very good.

Dumbledore refused to tell him the specific information of the remaining two Horcruxes, which has already shown his attitude towards Harry to a large extent.

Suddenly, Mike felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He took a deep breath and said directly:

"Harry is also Voldemort's Horcrux, right?"

As soon as he said this, the front of Dumbledore's face disappeared. He stared at Mike in a daze, and his expression became extremely complicated.

"How do you know..."

"It's not difficult to guess, after all, Harry's brain is shared with Voldemort. When you think of the existence of the Horcruxes, it's hard for me not to doubt Harry's identity!"

"Yes." Dumbledore said expressionlessly, "I can't hide this from you."

"What are you going to do?"

Mike questioned, staring straight into Dumbledore's eyes, waiting for his answer.

Dumbledore was silent. Facing Mike's sharp eyes, he instinctively dodged for a while.

But soon he adjusted himself back and started looking at Mike again.

The two looked at each other for a long time, during which Dumbledore didn't say a word, and the office fell into a strange silence.

Gradually, Mike decided to leave. From Dumbledore's silence, he already knew Dumbledore's answer.

But just as he was about to say goodbye, he heard Dumbledore say in a trembling but firm voice:

"Although it is difficult, if things really reach a point where there is no room for recovery, then the only option is to sacrifice Harry."
