Chapter 363 361. Be an ordinary professor?
"That's right, we knew before the start of the game that his state must be unstable. After you tore up that soul contract, the two souls in Riddle's body can no longer reach a way of peaceful coexistence." .”
Dumbledore said softly.
"Whether the soul is strong or not is very important to him. This is the reason why he suddenly became extremely powerful. But now if there are two different souls in the body that conflict, it will definitely cause him great harm. A big impression, no matter how bad it is, will beat him back to his original shape, and lose the power that does not belong to him at all."
"It's just that Riddle obviously used some special method to forcefully reconcile the soul in his body temporarily, and did not continue to expand this negative impact, but this is obviously not a long-term method. He must find other ways to reconcile the soul. This change was firmly established. Just when he needed to do it the most, he appeared in the French Ministry of Magic and made a blood oath with me to organize the Triwizard Tournament."
Of course, Jon has not forgotten this, and he also knows that Voldemort's current state is absolutely abnormal. The soul contract in Sir Stoke's Tower is a very important thing for the Dark Lord. After he tore up the contract, However, it is impossible for Voldemort to solve all the soul problems so easily.
"But professor, we also analyzed at that time. Apart from his purpose of holding this competition and his need to restore his soul, there is a bigger possibility that he wants to use the Triwizard Tournament to delay time until the end of the competition. It will take at least a year, and he can definitely use this period of time to find a solution to the soul problem."
Dumbledore nodded.
"This is indeed a great possibility, and if it is true, even if we discover his true purpose, there is no way to refuse to win this competition, which means we have fallen into his conspiracy."
Jon thought about it.
"But in fact, whether it is a conspiracy or a conspiracy, no matter what we want to win this Triwizard Tournament, and about the professor's arrangement in the castle, I think Cedric can bring us a lot help."
Dumbledore blinked.
"Is that the boy named Cedric Diggory you mentioned?"
"Yes, he is bold and careful, and I can see that he has not been brainwashed by the Dark Lord's pure-blood education. He hates the current Hogwarts castle. I think he should be able to help us."
Dumbledore didn't seem to deny Jon's proposal, he just said.
"Of course we can't miss the opportunity, but we can't ignore his own thoughts. Even if we really want him to help, we must make it clear that he will be in danger and let him make this decision by himself."
Of course Jon agreed with this very much, and then Jon didn't stay in the principal's office to have any further conversations with Dumbledore.
It was already very late, and he basically didn't have a good rest during the three days of competition in the Forbidden Forest. He had to go to the Pig's Head Bar to find Hoss tomorrow morning, and at the same time, he must help deal with some matters about the horsemen .
So Jon and Hermione left the principal's office together, bid farewell to separation, and returned to their dormitory.
"I trust my intuition." Salazar said solemnly, "I have dealt with Riddle, even if it was a deceitful exchange, it gave me some understanding of his character and behavior. Now that he has Launched a plan to kill the castle, after eliminating the vitality of Hogwarts Castle, he must also have follow-up preparations, otherwise, as you said, if it was just to destroy Hogwarts Castle , He doesn’t need to waste so much effort at all, it’s not difficult for him to completely disappear this school from the world with his ability.”
"Moreover, today when Jon guided those fire dragons and planned to let them destroy the castle, he finally rushed back to protect it, which shows that at least he doesn't want this school to fail, at least not on the surface. downfall."
Dumbledore crossed his fingers, with an unpredictable calm expression on his face.
"But if his purpose is really to become the headmaster of Hogwarts and the master of this castle, then what kind of benefits will this have for him?"
The principals on the entire wall couldn't answer his question. They really couldn't figure out what he could gain even if he was recognized by the castle.
Dumbledore thought for a long time, and suddenly there were some dumb smiles on his face.
"It's not really like what he told me when he made the bet, his earliest wish was to be an ordinary Defense Against the Dark Arts professor in Hogwarts Castle, right?"
Hearing his guess, the principals looked at each other, and then there was a slight sneer.
Obviously, most of them thought that Dumbledore was just telling a bad joke that wasn't very funny.
Regarding the results of the first event of the Triwizard Tournament, in the early morning of the next day, it made headlines in almost all magic newspapers in Europe.
It is no exaggeration to say that more than two-thirds of wizards in Europe are paying attention to this game about the fate of the French magic world, and the news in the newspapers makes most people feel unbelievable.
It's unbelievable, of course it's not the final score of the first event. In some betting markets, Jon's odds of winning are the lowest.
With his current record and strength, most people believe that he will shine in this game, and almost no one is optimistic about Draco.
The result of the game was exactly the same, without any accidents, which made some wizards who wanted to buy back according to the high odds go bankrupt, and were ready to ride a broomstick to fly to a height of more than 100 meters and jump off.
What really shocked them was the incident about the Hogwarts castle being attacked by fire dragons, and many newspapers directly secretly stated that such a situation should have something to do with Jon himself.
At the same time, the story about Jon accusing Voldemort of cheating, tampering with the Golden Snitch, causing a riot of dragons, and almost besieging and killing him was also publicized.
This looks like a play where Voldemort steals chickens and loses money, which makes the heat about this match even more heated.
It also makes more wizards look forward to the second project of the Triwizard Tournament, which is tentatively scheduled to start on January 1, the first day of the second year after Christmas.
I went back to my hometown by car, I will send 2,000 first, and I will write the other 2,000 when I get home in the morning
