บท 175: Harry Collapses, Dumbledore Is Hooked!
Overhearing all the news, the impact on Harry was really big.
He just looked blankly at Dumbledore.
Not just Harry, but everyone else except Professor Snape who already knew.
Dumbledore gave Lucas a curious look, he didn't understand why Lucas was saying that, but he didn't think about it that much and replied.
"Yes Lucas, you can continue to protect Harry, just like the previous two years."
"Professor Dumbledore, what charades are you playing?"
Professor McGonagall looked back and forth between the two.
Noticing that the other people in the room were curious, Dumbledore briefly introduced Lucas' great achievements in the past two years.
He just didn't say a word about the deal, he just said that Lucas is willing to do himself a little favor because of his old friend.
Professor McGonagall frowned, looked at the two and said, "Merlin's beard, this is simply too dangerous."
"You must know that Mr. Grindelwald was a young wizard who had just entered school."
The righteous Professor McGonagall strongly disagreed with the two men, but it didn't affect her appreciation for Lucas.
Even the others who heard about Lucas' behavior since he entered school also had some admiration in their eyes.
Several people sat down again.
This time Lucas sat beside Professor McGonagall under the strong request of the other party.
Looking at the blond boy beside her, Professor McGonagall sighed: "No wonder what happened in the past two years has the shadow of Mr. Grindelwald!"
She was actually a little awkward all the time.
At the end of first year dinner, Lucas led Slytherin in protest against Dumbledore.
In the end, he succeeded in taking away the House Cup that already belonged to Gryffindor.
McGonagall persuaded herself at the time that what Lucas said made a lot of sense, and points should be deducted for violating the ban, but handing over the honor to others, she still felt a little uncomfortable.
But today, after she heard about what Lucas has been doing for the past two years, the little awkwardness in McGonagall's mind disappeared in an instant.
Putting herself in his shoes.
Obviously he fought against the dark wizard and protected Harry, but in the end he lost the House Cup inexplicably, even his deserved points were given to the other person.
From this point of view, Lucas handled it very well at that time.
Listening to Professor McGonagall's praise, Lucas smiled wryly and shook his head: "Unfortunately, Harry seems to have misunderstood me because of this."
"Now that I think about it, when I met him for the first time, I was buying robes in Diagon Alley. It's been almost three years now."
"And we've gone from friends back to strangers." Lucas' expression turned frustrated.
Seeing this, Dumbledore said softly: "My boy, sometimes sacrifice is necessary, and I believe Harry will understand you in the end."
"Is sacrifice necessary?" Lucas repeated softly.
Dumbledore's attention was on Lucas.
Little did they know that when Professor Snape heard this sentence, the anger in his eyes could hardly be suppressed.
If this sentence is changed to someone else, it may be nothing.
But it was a different sentence for Dumbledore.
Especially with what Snape had already learned through Lucas. That statement only made him more suspicious of Dumbledore.
Harry hid in a corner.
The whole body leaning against the wall for support.
Until then, he didn't understand. Why is it that every time he gets into trouble, Lucas is always there to help.
Just like the game not long ago.
Facing the dementors, even if Lucas didn't make a move, no one would say anything, but he still managed to save Harry.
Also, Lucas rescued him when he fell from a high altitude before.
At this moment, Harry remembered many things that he had ignored before, and the gradually fading jealousy attracted the counterattack of the curse of desire.
The terrible thing about these ancient curses is that they are really difficult to stop.
Harry's eyes glowed red, regret and jealousy clashed in his mind which almost caused him to collapse.
But even so, he burst into tears.
Fortunately, the discussion was over at this time.
As everyone stood up to leave, Harry hurriedly followed out of the Three Broomsticks.
Ron, who had been waiting outside, immediately noticed the footprints on the snow.
He and Lavender followed the footprints to an empty place in the tree forest.
Hearing the cries coming from ahead, Ron walked over cautiously.
"Harry, are you okay?"
Lifting off the invisibility cloak, Harry appeared in front of the two of them crying bitterly.
"Harry, did you hear something?"
Ron had just finished speaking when he saw Harry's red eyes.
He turned pale with fright, stepped back several steps and fell on his ass right in the snow.
When he looked at his friend again, the other party had returned to normal, which made Ron think he was just blindsided.
Just then Harry's choked up voice came, he didn't even think about it.
"Again, always, like Snape, I misunderstood him again."
"Harry, what are you talking about? What's the same as Snape?"
The words of Harry confused them.
Harry wiped away his tears and said, "Sirius was a good friend of my parents, but he betrayed them."
"I must find him, kill him with my own hands, and avenge my parents!"
Ron and Lavender looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
"Merlin, how could this be, why would he do that?"
Harry couldn't answer Lavender's question either, this was exactly what he couldn't figure out.
As a friend of his parents, why did Sirius betray them?
"When I find Black, I will find out everything."
Harry was in a much better mood at the moment.
Ron asked cautiously, "Then what did you mean when you said it was the same as Snape?"
With a long sigh, Harry told the news he had heard.
Knowing that Lucas has been protecting Harry for the past two years… of course Ron didn't want to believe it.
"It's absolutely impossible!"
Seeing the surprised eyes of his friend, Harry recounted all the dangers he had encountered in the past two years.
It's easy to see that every time he's been in danger, Lucas was always there.
Even during his first-year flying lessons.
Harry laughed at himself and said, "Isn't this the same as in first year? When we all thought Snape was the bad guy, but in the end he was the one who protected me."
At the mention of Snape, Ron's eyes lit up.
"Harry, are you saying that Dumbledore asked Lucas to protect you?"
Seeing his friend nodding, he immediately said: "Then you should be most grateful to Dumbledore."
"Perhaps Grindelwald, like Snape, was simply following Dumbledore's orders."
"Didn't we analyze it at the time? Although Snape protected you, he also hates you."
"Protection and loathing don't conflict, and maybe Lucas is the same, he's a Slytherin after all."
Harry pondered for a moment.
The more he thinks about it, the more confused his brain becomes.
But at least one thing is certain, that is, Lucas will protect him, so he can be trusted.
After figuring out the most crucial point, he let out a sigh of relief.
"Let's go back to Hogwarts first, I still have something to ask Professor Lupin."
"And what about Professor Lupin?"
Harry looked at his friend and said, "Professor Lupin, my parents, and Black were all good friends."
"Merlin, this is really surprising news."
The three walked further and further away until they disappeared.
Lucas just lifted the Disillusionment Charm.
Caressing Crookshanks in his arms, he looked in the direction of Hogwarts Castle and smiled.
Judging from the expression on Harry's face, his little plan seems to have worked.
Now he's just wondering whether the most important plan will succeed.
Thinking of this, he turned to look at the Three Broomsticks. Specifically to the room on the second floor of the bar.
Only Dumbledore and Professor Snape were left in the room at this point.
…
"Headmaster, what do you want me to do?"
"Severus, I have found information about the Old Gaunt House."
"Oh~?" Snape was still indifferent.
But inside he desperately wanted Dumbledore to continue.
Dumbledore sighed, "The Gaunts are the only remaining descendants of Slytherin."
"And I also found out that Tom's mother is Merope Gaunt, a member of the Gaunt family."
"I think Lucas's pursuit of the whereabouts of the Gaunt family must have something to do with Horcruxes."
"If he really got in touch with Professor Slughorn, he should have learned that Tom is the only one who has ever made a Horcrux in the last few decades."
Seeing the shocked look in Snape's eyes, Dumbledore looked at him and said, "Severus, please come to Little Hangleton with me in a while."
"I would like to invite you to explore the situation of the Gaunt's old house with me, what do you think?".
