Chapter 136: Nurture
Chapter 136: Nurture
As Coven expected, Dumbledore really began to talk about Voldemort.
From the beginning to the rise of Voldemort, from becoming the Dark Lord to suppressing the English wizard world, to the backlash of Voldemort being attacked by Harry Potter's Protection Curse.
It could be said that Dumbledore did not hide anything from him.
Coven was very surprised.
He thought Dumbledore would only give him a simple explanation, but he didn't expect the other party to say so much.
At this time, Dumbledore finished Voldemort's accidental death and paused for a moment, giving Coven time to absorb information.
After a while, Dumbledore opened his mouth again and solemnly said, "Regarding Voldemort's failure, your Professor Trelawney once gave two prophecies. In the first prophecy, she successfully predicted that Voldemort would fail on Harry, and in the second prophecy..."
After a little hesitation, Dumbledore said, "The prophecy said that Voldemort will return and eventually die in Harry's hands..."
"Headmaster, you mean..." Coven guessed, "Do you want me to stop interfering with Mr. Potter's growth in the future?"
Dumbledore was stunned when he heard that. He shook his head to dispel Coven's misunderstanding and explained, "No, that's not what I meant."
Raising a cup of black tea for himself, Dumbledore took the opportunity to reorganize his words to prevent Coven from misunderstanding again.
After drinking a mouthful of tea, Dumbledore continued, "To tell the truth, I do have the idea of nurturing Harry. I plan to gradually nurture Harry to be able to take charge and finally defeat Voldemort as predicted."
"But..." Dumbledore's eyes were full of appreciation. "Now I have a new choice."
"It's me?" Coven was a little surprised.
"Yes, the new choice is you, child."
Dumbledore nodded firmly. At the same time, he raised his hand to straighten his silver-white beard. Then he said kindly, "But I feel a little difficult to choose."
"What choice?" Coven asked bluntly, not pretending to be stupid.
"On the one hand, I can be sure of the accuracy of the prophecy, so I can't give up training Harry."
Dumbledore was very calm as if he was talking to someone of equal status.
"On the other hand, child, whether it is in terms of intelligence or strength, you are difficult to find flaws."
"And your performance last night when you faced the Voldemort made us all praise you for being perfect."
"So you are a little hesitant." Coven took over the words and said thoughtfully, "Now you don't know who you should be more inclined to in nurturing Harry and me?"
"Look." Dumbledore raised his hand and clapped. "You are so intelligent. Your mature thoughts are like a saint in ancient times."
"Don't joke with me."
Coven smiled and shook his head slightly. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry at Dumbledore, who often had the "old child" performance.
"Alright." With a reluctant look, Dumbledore stopped joking and said, "As you said, I am indeed distressed about it. On the one hand, I believe in Harry, but on the other hand, I have more confidence in you."
"This is easy to handle." Coven smiled and spread his hands. "Since the prophecy is credible, then I will be Mr. Potter's supplement or insurance. Wouldn't this make things easier?"
"That is indeed the case, but..." Dumbledore shook his head slightly and then said kindly, "But this is not fair to you."
Coven's attitude was somewhat indifferent, but more of it was gratitude. He said frankly, "Are Headmaster and the professors as indulgent to me as to Mr. Potter?"
Dumbledore was stunned. He shook his head subconsciously.
Dumbledore's eyes became very soft.
"I can see it." Coven smiled and looked directly into Dumbledore's eyes. "The professors paid attention to him, but I... got the care of the elders."
Again, Coven shrugged his shoulders and smiled with a cool posture. "Compared to Mr. Potter, it is indeed unfair."
Dumbledore looked at Coven's posture and took a deep breath. He slowly raised his hand and took off his glasses. He looked down at the glasses in his hands and whispered, "Good child... good child..."
Coven grinned.
He spoke from the bottom of his heart.
In the past few years, he also made many mistakes.
Those achievements were taught by the professors who were serious and responsible to him, and those mistakes only got the professor's favor and indulgence to him.
Coven liked the House of Hogwarts, the professors were like a family to him, and he also appreciated the care and education of the professors.
Therefore, Coven said softly, "Mr. Headmaster, let me do something for Hogwarts and you."
Dumbledore slowly raised his head. His eyes were a little bright. Looking at the determination on Coven's face, his smile gradually bloomed on his face.
He nodded heavily, "Of course... of course you can, child!"
Raising his hand and putting on his glasses again, Dumbledore took the opportunity to touch the corner of his eyes with his finger. Then he smiled and covered it up. "When you get older, it is inevitable that you become a little uncertain and sentimental. Then, I respect your thoughts."
Being touched by the softness in his heart, Dumbledore could not help but seem a little embarrassed. In order to save his face, he stiffly changed the topic.
He raised his hand and pointed at the book in Coven's hand. He said softly, "Since you lack some magic spells, then I think you should let me take over your next learning plan."
"Are you going to teach me personally?" Coven asked in surprise.
"Yes, that's right!" Dumbledore smiled and said, "I will teach you some knowledge in the future. For example, starting from this book, let me teach you the higher-level Divine Fire series in the 'Magic of Fire', as well as the Hellfire series, which is also the 'Magic Fire' series."
"Magic Fire?" Coven was stunned. He looked down at the book in his hand and then asked in surprise, "No problem?"
"Of course." Dumbledore laughed and explained, "It is not an 'unforgivable curse'. Because of the anti-curse, it is a knowledge that you can come into contact with."
Hearing this, Coven was immediately very happy. After all, he had long coveted the high-level spells with the decisive effect.
If he had learned the 'Magic Fire Curse', why would he risk using the death curse last night?
If a 'Magic Fire' that could burn the soul was used, he did not believe that Voldemort's remnant soul could still struggle...
