Chapter 210 The Protagonist Reads the Prophecy
Harry thought for a while and guessed: "Almost no one applies for this position every year. Moody last year and Lupine the year before were also specially recruited by Dumbledore. I think she is about the same, right?"
"Maybe!" Ron yawned and started to feel sleepy.
"If she can," Hermione thought for a moment and asked a little less confidently: "Do you think I can apply for this position next year?"
(⊙_⊙): "What?"
∑(д⊙): “Are you awake?”
Hermione had known that they would react this way, and retorted angrily: "Bin can do it, Kate can do it, why can't I? I plan to apply to Principal Dumbledore to take the O.W.L.s and N.E.W.T.s exams at the same time this year."
(_`): "Can you apply for the general examination?"
Ron's words gave Hermione a small shock.
"I'm 80% sure!" Hermione said confidently.
(˙-˙): "Can you get E (good) or above in all subjects?"
Harry's questioning almost destroyed Hermione's confidence.
"I won't talk to you anymore, I have to review." Hermione ran quickly to the girls' dormitory without looking back.
A paper airplane flew onto the table. Harry looked around and saw that no classmates were looking over.
He opened the paper airplane and wrote a sentence inside: "Harry, come to my office."
The bottom note is Dumbledore, and it also comes with the password to the door.
"Ron, the principal is looking for me, you should rest first!"
Ron waved and watched Harry leave the lounge.
When Harry arrived at the headmaster's office, all the portraits on the wall had their mouths closed.
"Please sit down." Dumbledore gestured to Harry to sit across from him and said calmly: "I have been observing you for a while and found that you are more mature and calm than before, so I do not intend to continue the meaningless education of frustration."
Harry was stunned when he heard it and didn't know if it was a compliment, but he still said: "Thank you."
This answer was a bit beyond Dumbledore's expectations.
He coughed lightly and continued: "Now, you can choose to fully participate in our plan, or continue your original life. However, if you plan to participate, you must first accept a painful test. You can go back and think about it. , then reply to me.”
After saying this, the old man and the young looked at each other for a moment, but Harry still couldn't hold his breath. "Professor Dumbledore, is your plan related to destroying Voldemort?"
Dumbledore said nothing, just nodded slightly.
"So, is this plan dangerous?" Harry asked tentatively.
"Yes, but you will have the complete right to know." Dumbledore said with a smile with admiration in his eyes: "And after you learn the details of each task, you can also choose whether to accept the task. This is what Ya and I agreement between the two countries.”
"Aaron?" Harry asked in confusion, "He also participated in your plan?"
"He has given me a lot of advice and intelligence, but he has not yet participated in my plan. We have an agreement long ago that no plan can harm you, Ron and Hermione, and when you join, you need to have a complete Right to know.”
After the two looked at each other for a few seconds, Harry said firmly: "I don't need to go back and think about it, I will participate now."
"Very good." Dumbledore picked up the wand and reminded: "The test I give you is to check whether the Occlumency technique Aaron added to you is reliable. This process may be very painful, and there is a possibility of fainting. Are you willing to accept it?"
Harry nodded firmly without hesitation.
The moment the wand pointed at him, Harry felt a heartbreaking pain in his head. It wasn't just in his head, and it wasn't from the scar. It was everywhere along his head, face, chin, and the back of his neck.
He looked at Dumbledore painfully. The moment their eyes met, he felt as if his thoughts were being controlled and his whole body became light. A burst of happy emotions dominated his brain, and then an even stronger pain hit him again. Come.
Within ten seconds, Harry passed out in pain in his seat, but Dumbledore continued to penetrate his brain.
Breaking in again and again, failing again and again.
When Harry's magic power was exhausted and the blood curse finally stopped, Dumbledore finally entered Harry's mind.
He concentrated on the recognition, and his face immediately turned livid.
The picture Chen Bin set in his mind was: Aotu Man wrestling with a blue mechanical cat, and a yellow mouse with a hundred thousand volts of electric current serving as the referee.
"So this is the last resort of the brain-occluding blood curse?" Dumbledore tried a few more times to make sure that he really couldn't see anything else, and finally felt relieved.
When Harry woke up, his desk was already filled with various snacks and two cups of black tea.
"You have passed the test, congratulations." Dumbledore said with a smile, and gestured for Harry to eat some too.
Harry felt his body. Apart from the fact that his magic power had become empty, nothing had changed. Even the original pain had disappeared.
"Can I join the plan?" Harry didn't have the courage like Chen Bin to talk to the principal while eating, so he only dared to ask with a hopeful look on his face.
"Yes." Dumbledore didn't have the habit of forcing others to eat, so he ate alone. "Here are the prophecies for this year. Many of them are no longer valid, but they can be used as reference. When you were in the first grade, I discovered Aaron's anomaly..."
Dumbledore did not hide anything and told Chen Bin and his management and calculations, including the action of resurrecting Voldemort last year.
"Therefore, in the original prophecy, we began to have a gap from this year, mainly because I was afraid that Voldemort would observe my words and deeds from your vision. Now, Aaron's prophecy has mostly failed, and the current situation is much better than the original fate. The blood curse Aaron cast on you has a powerful power. Even if your magic power is exhausted, it still cannot explore your thoughts and memories, so I think you should have the right to know your original fate."
When Harry walked out of the headmaster's office, his mind was still a mess. He was not affected by the brain invasion, but Dumbledore talked to him a lot, including the box of prophecy books in his hand.
The small wooden box is not big, more like a wooden pencil case, with the traceless extension spell and the light spell inside, and Dumbledore's powerful magic on the outside. Only Harry can open it, and others will only trigger the self-destruction effect if they open it violently.
What's more bizarre is that the pencil case seems to be bound to him. As long as it is more than two meters away from it, it will reappear in Harry's hand.
Dumbledore also told him that he was the only one in the world who could take out the books, and every time he took out a book, the box would automatically close. As long as he put down the prophecy in his hand, it would automatically teleport into the box.
These seven prophecies related to his original destiny were also cast with powerful spells by Dumbledore. Only when Harry recited the spell would the text be displayed, and it would not work if others recited it.
Harry returned to the dormitory, and all his classmates were asleep. After he took the wooden box and took a shower, he still couldn't suppress his curiosity and opened the first volume to read it.
Dumbledore said that he had the right to tell Ron and Hermione about the prophecy, but based on the principle of confidentiality, they could not read the content in person.
After reading the contents of the seven volumes, Harry needed to find Dumbledore, but Dumbledore gave him a warning: "Don't challenge Umbridge's authority before you finish reading the fifth volume. This is not bravery, but a challenge to the little people who control your studies that will definitely fail."
Harry picked up the wand and read line by line relying on the light of the wand tip. The more he read, the more surprised he was. These were all things that happened in the past, but many psychological activities and complaints that he had forgotten were also written in the book.
He promised that the ideas mentioned in the book had never been revealed to anyone. However, after reading more than a dozen pages, he found that some complaints were not comprehensive. After thinking hard for a while, he determined that the book only restored about 90% of the content, and some less important psychological activities were omitted.
For Harry, I don’t know whether to be thankful or disappointed. Fortunately, the prophecy did not completely see through his thoughts, and the disappointment was that the prophecy was not comprehensive.
He closed the book and looked at the author’s name: Isabel J. Nama, Chen Bin, and had an absurd thought in his mind. The person who knows me best in this world is not me!
He couldn’t imagine how Chen Bin could have been pretending for four years, but no one found out that he knew the direction of his fate completely, or even whether his friendship with himself was based on the prophecy.
After tossing and turning in bed for a while, Harry had too many questions and couldn’t fall asleep at all. He took out the first volume from the box again and flipped through it.
He didn't like reading books since he was a child, so he didn't read very fast. In order to speed up, he skipped the content in the book that described his psychological activities, and soon saw the part about boarding the Hogwarts Express, and finally found something that was not true.
From the moment Hermione appeared, the story deviated. There is a timid and clumsy boy in the book, but there is no such person in reality. Instead, there is his most trusted male friend now-Chen Bin.
There is not much description of Neville Longbottom, but he is one of his friends in the book.
Unconsciously, he has seen the part where he found out that Snape wanted to take the Philosopher's Stone, and the dawn sun appeared outside the window.
The soreness from his eyes made him unable to read on.
He closed his eyes and imagined that if these things happened in reality, there would be no sense of disobedience.
Although the world in the prophecy book is more sunny than reality, many disgusting experiments or cruel descriptions have been glossed over, but apart from the fact that Chen Bin replaced Neville, almost all the important events have happened, only some venues have changed.
For example, the three of them used to like chatting in the common room and library, but now they often stay in the Room of Requirement with Chen Bin.
The troll still attacked Hermione on Christmas Eve, but she was subdued by Ron and Harry without Chen Bin's rescue.
Soon, drowsiness hit Harry's head and he fell into a deep sleep.
It felt like he had only slept for a blink of an eye before he was awakened by Ron.
"Hey, Harry, wake up. If you don't get up now, you won't be able to have breakfast in time."
