"Pick up the sword! Don't doubt your own will, put aside those useless cowardice... Only courage, determination and strength are the qualities that everyone should have!"

"Can't it? Can't you hold on? Is it too painful? No, this sword is not terrible. What's terrible is yourself - your weak heart!"

"I said... Pick up the sword!"

……

Since Harry gripped the sword in the room on request, he seemed to see another himself staring at himself, sometimes painful, sometimes appealing, sometimes afraid

What is more strange is that he can almost clearly feel all the feelings of the "other self".

He knew that the other himself was suffering from the loss of his parents since childhood; He also knew that he was appealing for strength; He knew that he was afraid that he had hurt Luna with this sword.

Yes, all these are contradictions buried in Harry's heart.

He hopes to gain enough strength to stop losing any relatives and friends. However, although Gryffindor's treasure sword can bring him great strength, it will also make him fall into an uncontrollable nightmare abyss.

While he was holding the silver handle of Gryffindor's sword, the mysterious power hidden in the sword seemed to suddenly expand his inner thoughts infinitely.

He has courage and a typical perseverance of Gryffindor College - but the sword amplifies his courage, but it also amplifies other more negative things.

There is no doubt that this makes Harry have to face the most vulnerable places in his heart.

However, the biggest enemy in people's life is often themselves... It is obviously very difficult to defeat themselves.

Just as Harry gradually fell into the cycle of self contradiction, when the hard accumulated courage was gradually consumed by his pain, appeal and fear, Gryffindor himself appeared!

It was not an illusion, it was the real Godric Gryffindor himself - at least in Harry's mind, the figure was undoubtedly "real".

The long red hair like flame, the well combed red beard, and the short robe with red background and Phnom Penh were not like the strong physique of a wizard at all.

Gryffindor is worthy of being the most outstanding duel master at that time. Just looking at the amazing momentum, people have an irresistible courage and strength.

"Harry Potter, isn't it?"

Next to Harry's "other self", Gryffindor stood there, leaning on the glittering silver sword.

"You can awaken my will to stay in the sword, which shows that you have extraordinary courage and determination. Unfortunately, your heart is still confused. If you only rely on you now, you'd better not pull out my sword."

At this point, Gryffindor took the sword in his hand and said in a deep voice:

"I think you should understand what I'm talking about."

Gryffindor's words seemed to go straight into his head. Even though Harry knew he couldn't understand half of the words, he could still clearly understand what the other party said.

"Are you... Godric Gryffindor, one of the founders of Hogwarts?" Harry was carrying the same sword in his hand, but he didn't care about the sword at all now.

"Mr. Gryffindor, why do you... Know my name?"

"Hmm?" Gryffindor didn't seem very interested in Harry's question. He waved his hand casually. "I know everything about the hat - of course, it doesn't matter. Potter, you just need to understand that you still have one last chance to give up the sword!"

The figure of Gryffindor, after staring at Harry and pausing a little, suddenly reminded him:

"Don't think I'm testing your determination. Everyone who knows me knows that I never like to play those winding tricks! This sword is very dangerous to you. Once you can't control it, it will drive you in turn, making you a source of disaster who only knows how to kill but has no self will!"

"So, for Hogwarts, for all the creatures in the world, I must warn you - if you can't resist its power, I will let you stand here forever until death takes you away."

"No! I won't give up!"

Just as Percy will feel pain because of his powerlessness, so will Harry.

The enemy who killed his parents was wandering in front of him, but he could do nothing. Finally, he had to take revenge for his parents under the guise of Maka's hand.

Although Harry never said anything about it and even thanked Marca for his help, he obviously wanted to beat Voldemort with his own strength.

Now, he also has his beloved object. In order to better protect Ginny from her parents' Tragedy under halber's threat, he became more and more eager for power.

Sometimes there may be only a thin line between good and evil.

If Harry had not drawn a clear bottom line in his heart without the bad example of the Dursleys and the support of friends such as Hermione and Ron, he might have embarked on another extreme road.

But fortunately, everything did not make him forget some of the most important things, which enabled him to hold the sword and awaken Gryffindor's will.

And because of this, how could he give up at this stage?

"Mr. Gryffindor... In order to protect everyone and assist Maka, I need enough strength!"

"If you insist," Gryffindor said with staring eyes, "cut off your inner vulnerability and defeat yourself - I must say, this is not an easy way to go, and I don't recommend it."

He was obviously not a person who liked nonsense. After discovering Harry's determination, he immediately stepped away from the "other Harry" standing opposite Harry.

Only then did Harry realize that Gryffindor was actually suppressing another him.

Another self based on his inner negative will and transformed by the power of Gryffindor's sword.

Just as Harry was on alert to see what would happen, the other party suddenly spoke.

"Harry, you are me, so you should also understand... Courage alone can't do anything. There are many helpless things in the world, such as... We can never save mom and dad."

"Harry, think again. Even if you have this power, what can you do? Your talent is only a little better than ordinary people, far less powerful than Marca. Even if you pick up the sword, he is still better than you."

"Oh, by the way! Harry, there's one more thing you have to understand - if you can't beat yourself, you'll never leave here! Think about Ginny's feelings! She can't live without you, just as you can't live without her..."

Nothing is more hopeless than exposing his scars, because that word is so accurate that Ren can't help but want to shrink back.

Even if Harry tried to convince himself that all this was an illusion created by Gryffindor's sword, what he faced was not the devil at all, but another self in his heart.

Gryffindor will leave a will in the sword, not for anything else, but for future generations who try to inherit his sword.

Because he knows very well that once he is confused, it is very difficult to break through himself.

Opposite, the other himself was still talking, and the words that pierced his heart made Harry bite his teeth. Knowing that it was only false and that the power in the sword was killing his will, he just couldn't refute every word said by the other party.

No, no! Since you want to overcome yourself, wouldn't it be better to put aside all this and don't think about these unsolvable problems?

"Shut up!" Harry suddenly covered his ears and yelled, "you're fake! You can't mislead me! I just want to gain strength, which has nothing to do with what you said -"

Gryffindor looked at Harry in front of him and suddenly shook his head gently.

Almost at the moment Harry covered his ears, the other party's voice seemed to enlarge several times and revolved in his mind.

Harry, who had only wanted to forget these things, became increasingly agitated in this suddenly increasing chatter. The more he wanted to empty his head and keep these words away from himself, the clearer the voice became.

At some point, an uncontrollable anger burst out of Harry's heart.

"I told you to shut up!"

Suddenly he raised his hand, and on the Gryffindor sword that Harry had been holding in his hand, the ruby suddenly burst into a burst of red light.

Immediately behind him was a flash of sword light from top to bottom, passing through another figure opposite him.

"Is it over?"

Gryffindor looked at the sharp but uncontrollable Harry in his eyes and couldn't help sighing slightly. But the next second, Harry suddenly had a worn wizard's pointed hat on his head.

"Lao Ge, do you want to do this? Let me do all the dirty and tiring work... Ouch! Isn't this Godric? Why are you an asshole still alive?"

Needless to say, the tone and style of this speech is not a branch hat. What else can it be?

"Hey... Boy, can you do it? Wake up for Ben --"

Instead of chatting with Gryffindor, he shouted as soon as he found Harry in critical condition.
