v7 Chapter 139： Is Harry ready to die?

Back at Hogwarts again, William felt like a lifetime away.

​​

It was only an Easter holiday, but he felt that many years had passed.

​​

The explosion of the U.S. Capitol, the eruption of Ilvermorny, and the prehistoric mystery of the Washington Monument...

​​

It can only be said that he has experienced so much this holiday that he is extremely tired.

​​

Of course, the most important thing is to get the resurrection stone and kill Tom.

​​

This made William's heartstrings that had been tense for four years suddenly loosened.

​​

He was very emotional, and so was Dumbledore.

​​

In the principal's office,

​​

William's memory alone, Dumbledore took the trouble to read it six times.

​​

When he wanted to replay the short video for the seventh time, William quickly stopped him.

​​

Good guy, I know you hate Tom, professor, but don't flog him so much.

​​

Of course Dumbledore was excited. The best result he expected was that Tom disarmed the Horcrux community so that he could have a chance to kill Voldemort.

​​

Dumbledore even planned his own death to complete the end of Voldemort.

​​

But William far exceeded his expectations!

​​

In other words, after William appeared, things took a big turn, and the gloom shrouded in his heart was also swept away.

​​

"William..." Dumbledore said with a thousand senses:

​​

"I believe that in the centuries and thousands of years in the future, when many people turned over this magical history about us, they turned it over.

​​

Only you can make people slowly turn back those pages in the dead of night and read them carefully again.

​​

Come, let's have a drink! "

​​

Dumbledore was interested, he waved his wand, and a large bottle of iced gin and two glasses appeared on the table.

​​

William took the wine glass. After drinking, he hesitated for a moment, and then whispered, "Professor, that Horcrux - Slytherin's ring..."

​​

Dumbledore's fingers trembled slightly, he took a sip of his wine, concealed his gaffe, and said:

​​

"Have you destroyed it?"

​​

"Tom's soul has been destroyed by me, and the resurrection stone has been brought back by me..."

​​

After a brief silence, Dumbledore asked, "Have you used it?"

​​

William nodded.

​​

After getting the ring, he immediately let the dementors absorb Tom's soul.

​​

Then I used the resurrection stone.

​​

William tried to summon the Big Four and Merlin, but both failed.

​​

This powerful wizard could not be summoned, so William summoned the Death Eaters Professor Tywin and Barty Crouch Jr.

​​

"Both of them appeared." William recalled: "It's just that the two of them are neither ghosts nor living people, they are more like beings born from my memory.

​​

If you want to use the resurrection stone..."

​​

That stone, at this moment, was lying quietly in William's pocket.

​​

With his right hand rubbing his pocket, he could even feel the Deathly Hallows logo on the stone.

​​

Dumbledore resisted his desire, his expression became painful and hideous.

​​

In the end, reason prevailed, and the old man lowered his eyelids, looked at his knees, and said sadly:

​​

"No, don't give it to me, William!

​​

Remember that time? At the old Gaunt mansion, I was out of control and went crazy trying to get the Resurrection Stone.

​​

At that moment, I really wanted to see Ariana, my mother, my father..."

​​

"I'm a fool, a total fool."

​​

Tears rolled in Dumbledore's eyes. He took off his half-moon glasses, wiped them, and said:

​​

"The Resurrection Stone is too tempting for me, if it were in front of me, I would be unable to hold back and completely addicted to it.

​​

Just like when I was young, I was obsessed with the illusion of the Mirror of Erised.

​​

The Resurrection Stone has had a greater impact on me than anyone else. Its bewitching power is strong enough to occupy my body and mind, like the second child in the story of three brothers. "

"In the Deathly Hallows, I am only fit to own the most insignificant and useless Elder Wand." Dumbledore tapped the wand in his hand.

​​

"I can tame it and use it, because I don't take it to conquer, but to save."

​​

"But in the face of that stone, I want to use it to drag those sleeping people back to the world of the living.

​​

This is not allowed anyway!

​​

William, you are truly qualified to have it.

​​

Resurrection stone, just put it with you, it will never be seen by me, unless I am going to die. "

​​

William sighed, but in the end he didn't take out the resurrection stone.

​​

Both of them were silent, drinking gin wine constantly, the atmosphere was a little depressed.

​​

After drinking a bottle of wine, Dumbledore finally regained his composure, and he slowly asked:

​​

"Now there are the last two Horcruxes left. I have arranged for Professor Snape to deal with the runes.

​​

What are you going to do with the Horcrux hidden in Gringotts? "

​​

William had a plan, and he replied:

​​

"In the final battle, we trapped Voldemort.

​​

Hermione would take Anne, Cho, Cedric, the twins, and Neville... into Gringotts.

​​

I'll also give them Bellatrix. With Hermione around, there shouldn't be any problems. "

​​

Dumbledore also thinks so, and with Hermione leading the team, he is very relieved.

​​

"After finding Hufflepuff's gold cup, what are you going to do with Bellatrix?" Dumbledore asked again.

​​

William hesitated and said, "I want to give her to Neville and Mrs Longbottom."

​​

"Neville..." Dumbledore looked complicated and sighed:

​​

"Speaking of which, I always feel that the Sorting Hat is too hasty when sorting.

​​

But it is sometimes very accurate. "

​​

"You mean Neville?" William asked.

​​

"That's right." Dumbledore nodded.

​​

"Neville may be more comfortable in Hufflepuff than in Gryffindor, where the students are more forgiving, and he will grow up happier."

​​

"But Neville completely lost the ability to have courage.

​​

The child lacks courage, and these powers are actually hidden in him.

​​

In his heart, he also yearns for courage, more than anyone else.

​​

Hufflepuff didn't lack a Neville, but Gryffindor needed Neville, and Neville also needed Gryffindor. "

​​

"You've done a great job at this point." Dumbledore said always helping the child build confidence.

​​

William, you will definitely become the greatest headmaster of Hogwarts in the future. "

​​

William was stunned for a while, do you really mean to be appointed?

​​

The old man said sadly: "I can't do it anymore, I have always failed in my life.

​​

As a professor, as a principal, it is clear that we have the responsibility to guide and protect young people.

​​

But over the years, I haven't done a good job at all... and I haven't been able to protect many people. "

​​

William looked at Dumbledore, who was stooped.

​​

I don't know if the old man remembered Tom who went astray, or James and Lily who were sacrificed.

​​

Or... Harry.

​​

The final decisive battle is coming, and the remaining two Horcruxes are also under control.

​​

The only problem is that Harry, his life is determined by how long it takes to destroy all the Horcruxes.

​​

At this time, it is undoubtedly the last moment.

​​

He should go to die.

​​

"Harry... Are you ready?" William finally asked.

​​

Dumbledore opened his eyes and his lips twitched:

​​

"I don't know...but I hope he does well."
