Harry Potter and the Old Ones

Surprisingly, after talking with Cornelius Fudge, Gilderoy Lockhart left Hogwarts with ease——

It was so unbelievably relaxed that he even went to the door of the principal's office to ask for an interview——

As a result, the gargoyle told Gilderoy Lockhart indifferently that Dumbledore was in a meeting now and would not see anyone.

Then Gilderoy Lockhart is—

I had to smear the soles of my feet with oil and slip away quickly.

To be honest, although Tierra made up an excuse, whether Dumbledore would believe Tierra is still not sure.

Tierra asked "Gideroy Lockhart" to bite the bullet and go to Dumbledore. It was originally planned that if Dumbledore didn't believe it, then he would abandon the identity of "Ghidero Lockhart" and put all the blame on him. Stop "Gildroy Lockhart" and let him enter Azkaban and enter his own mouse breeding base.

Now that Dumbledore doesn't want to meet him, it's just right to let "Ghidroy Lockhart" leave quickly, and Dumbledore can make up for it whatever he wants.

Meanwhile, inside the principal's office.

Dumbledore, who was looking at the Pensieve with a gloomy face, said:

"Forget about being polite, I just want to know what happened."

Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape, who were standing in the middle of the principal's room, looked at each other——

"Don't you notice anything?" Dumbledore asked again, "What's different about Tierra, and what's unusual about Tierra?"

Snape and Professor McGonagall remained silent.

"Oh..." Dumbledore sighed suddenly, and said, "Sorry, I was too emotional just now..."

"Albus...is ours..." Professor McGonagall said, but was interrupted by a wave of Dumbledore's hand.

"I can see a huge conspiracy brewing on Tierra," said Dumbledore, "but I can't see what it is."

"Albus..." McGonagall said helplessly, wanting to say a few words of comfort, but she didn't know how to say it, so she had to ask, "Albus, what are you thinking?"

"I have no idea for now." Dumbledore said, and then rubbed the space between his brows wearily.

"I used to guess." Dumbledore said, "Around the first year, I guessed that Tierra was just an ordinary little wizard who accidentally got a black magic book."

"Although this kind of situation is rare, it has happened many times in Hogwarts. There are many young Muggle-born wizards who inadvertently discovered black magic books scattered in the Muggle world, and studied and practiced without authorization." Dumbledore Lido said, "So at the time I only classified Tierra into this category, and didn't pay much attention to it."

Professor McGonagall and Snape also nodded in agreement.

"But when I was in the second grade, I found that things were not that simple." Dumbledore continued, "I began to feel that Tierra's intelligence, understanding and heart, as well as his grasp of human nature Controlling power, these and so on cannot be simply explained by precocity, precocity and a black magic book obtained by accident."

"But isn't the final result very clear?" Professor McGonagall said, "Tiera's various performances are the result of being influenced by the mysterious man and Ravenclaw's crown."

"Yes, I thought so too at the beginning." Dumbledore said, "But Tierra's performance this semester made me overturn this conclusion... Do you know? From Halloween last year to before the Christmas holiday last year The Tierras... are all Sirius in disguise."

"What?" Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape were taken aback and looked at each other.

"I thought it was just adolescence." Professor McGonagall said, "He did behave abnormally during that period...very inconsistent..."

"So that's it! That's it!" Snape suddenly blushed as if remembering something, and said through gritted teeth.

"But didn't Sirius prove to be harmless?" Professor McGonagall asked suspiciously, "Could it be that Sirius took the risk...and kidnapped Tierra?"

"No." Dumbledore said, "This is exactly what makes me feel weird... Tierra... gave up her identity on her own initiative."

"Give it up?" Professor McGonagall asked suspiciously, "What do you mean?"

"When Sirius was arrested, I noticed the golden thread on his hand..." Snape interrupted suddenly, "Could it be..."

"That's it." Dumbledore said, "I think Tierra should have reached some kind of deal with Sirius. What price did Sirius pay in exchange for Tierra's identity before Christmas."

"So where was the real Tierra during that time?" Professor McGonagall asked.

"I don't know." Dumbledore said, "This is exactly what I'm confused about... Tierra has too many questions that even I can't answer at all. He is like a cloud of fog, and I can't see through it. .”

"However, what I can be sure of is that there must be a secret organization behind Tierra... This organization pushed Tierra to the front, and achieved some ulterior purpose through Tierra..." Dumbledore Said.

"Excuse me for interrupting, Mr. Headmaster." Snape said, "How do you judge that there is a secret organization behind Tierra, rather than Tierra planning all of this?"

"Don't be stupid, Severus." Professor McGonagall rolled his eyes at Professor Snape and said, "If Tierra is planning it all by himself, what is he planning?"

"Yes, this is exactly where I am puzzled." Dumbledore said, "A person who plans something must have a motive. Now, he will definitely get some kind of benefit... But what about Tierra? He What are these things planned for? As far as we know, he has been hurting, hurting and hurting since the beginning, and he has been hurting and hurting for nothing, even... even..."

"He even lost his right arm and right eye... I... I haven't seen this scene for many years..." Dumbledore said with a little choking, "It's like going back to World War II ...It's too bloody...Death and pain are so nakedly displayed in front of our eyes...If he planned it...No, it's impossible, I can't believe that someone would be so cruel to me..."

"I checked his wound carefully..." Dumbledore continued to say to himself, "His wound was caused by black magic...including Fiendfire and a dark magic substance that I can't distinguish for the moment ...His right arm will never grow back. As far as I know, there is no power that can make Tierra grow another right arm. He will be with cold wood and alchemy metal for the rest of his life. I can That being said... Tierra is very lucky to be alive..."

"So he can only be a victim." Dumbledore concluded, "He is a victim pushed to the front by the organization behind him, a smoke bomb for us and the Ministry of Magic. The organization behind him... we Let’s call it the ‘secret party’ for the time being, put various contradictory and unreasonable characteristics on Tierra, and use his injury as a smoke bomb to paralyze us or seek benefits..."

"Evil!" Professor McGonagall was trembling with anger, "It's too evil! It's using children!"

After listening to Dumbledore's conclusion, Snape bowed his head and thought for a while. He felt that the logic was self-consistent and the conclusion was basically valid, so he nodded in agreement.

"So, Severus, I have a task for you," said Dumbledore.

"What mission?" Snape asked.

"I need you to help me investigate Gilderoy Lockhart." Dumbledore said, "I think Gilderoy Lockhart is probably also a member of the 'Secret Party', or at least the smoke of the 'Secret Party' One of the bombs."

"Okay," Snape agreed.

"I want to know every part of his life experience...where he has been, who he has come into contact with and what items." Dumbledore arranged in an orderly manner, "especially in the last year, when he suddenly disappeared in the last year, I want to know Where has he been in the past year?"

"Okay," Snape said.

"At the same time, Minerva, I would like you to go to the orphanage where Tierra came from." Dumbledore said, "If necessary, I would like you to go to China... You have had a meeting with the Chinese Ministry of Magic before. Communication, I leave this matter to you. I saw a couple and a picture in the Mirror of Erised before. That should be Tierra's biological parents and the place where he lived since he was a child...I need you to find that place ...the one who found that place, who knew about Tierra's past, his parents' past...if they really existed."

"Albus, what do you mean?" Professor McGonagall asked.

"Some of Tierra's traits... and some modus operandi... are too familiar... that prophecy, that strange-colored pupil, and the means of deceiving people... are all too familiar..." Dumbledore said , "I am so familiar with it that I have to guard against it... maybe an old friend of mine is also in this 'secret party'..."

Professor McGonagall's face changed, and even Snape showed a surprised expression.

"Are you suspicious..." McGonagall asked carefully, "What are you suspicious about? Albus."

"It's impossible for Gellert to come out of Nurmengard." Dumbledore said decisively, "I suspect Tierra is an artificial lifeform created by Gellert Grindelwald using himself as a template."
