A certain Hogwarts esoteric leader

Dumbledore let out a long breath, as if the Potters were still lingering in front of him.

Yunieff could somewhat understand his mood.Happiness is like fire, sadness is like water, and water always lasts longer than fire.

Dumbledore drank a glass of water without any movement or sound, and the teapot automatically refilled it for him.

It's been a really long conversation.

This time, he paused for a long time, perhaps thinking. Sad mood always makes people think.

Junifer did not disturb him.

It wasn't time for him to speak yet.

About 3 or 5 minutes later, Dumbledore seemed to have finally put his thoughts together, laughed at himself, and said, "It seems that I am getting a little old. I can't focus on the present moment when I am stuck in memories."

"No," said Junifer, "and there is plenty of time."

But four or five hours had actually passed, from Saturday night into the early hours of Sunday morning.

The last day of the previous week has ended.

Dumbledore smiled and said, "Then let's continue, if you don't mind me being an old man."

"No problem." Yunieff said, "This is the first time for me to hear so many things from someone like you. Besides, I don't have anything else to do for the time being."

"That's good," he said.

However, he did not immediately continue his previous story smoothly, as if the silence just now took away his language.

"Where did I just talk?" He held his forehead and frowned.

"Pensieve." Yunieff thought for a moment, easily extracting information from his memory.

"Oh, yes, Pensieve. I use Pensieve to check my memory." Dumbledore woke up as if from a dream, and then his eyes glowed calmly, as if he had to show such rationality before he could continue his story.

"I discovered something strange about the pensieve," he said.

He paused, sorted out his words, and said, "First of all, it's the strange state of affairs when listening to the prophecy. I've already mentioned this before. Then, there's the strange development of things."

"What's the strange development?" Yunivo asked.

"Yes, there are many unnatural things." Dumbledore said. "Of course, the most unnatural thing is Voldemort's sudden decline. To put it simply, he went to find and get close to the 'that one' because of the prophecy. Boy', and because of this, he was defeated suddenly. In this way, it is not so much the boy who defeated him, but rather the prophecy guiding everything."

Yunieff frowned. Although what Dumbledore said made some sense, it seemed that something had not been caught yet.

In other words, it has not been explored deeper.

Dumbledore seemed to see his confusion and explained: "It doesn't sound like anything. But actually, it means something weird."

“If,” he said, “prophecies reveal a real future, that means that future information can participate in what is happening now and use it to shape that future.”

"It might be a bit confusing." He looked over and asked, "Can you understand?"

Yunieff thought for a while and said, "I can probably understand it. It's like, an egg hatches a chicken, and then the chicken goes back in time to lay an egg?"

"A great metaphor," said Dumbledore. "It would be even better if it could be illustrated with a phoenix. But that's not the point."

He paused and asked, "Then do you think this is possible?"

Yunieff fell into deep thought.

He thought of some rebirth novels he had read in his previous life. Most of the ideas were that people from the future go back to the past and use future information to change the present and then change the not-so-good future.

In that case, the future is changed.

But here, it's somewhat the other way around.

It sounds like... the future is changing through prophecies, or it would be more appropriate to use corrections...

The future corrects the present through prophecy...

is it possible?

"This is not a question that can be answered so quickly," he said.

Dumbledore was slightly startled, as if he did not expect that Yunieff would say this, but he smiled and said: "It's okay, let us put this issue aside for now. Then continue to listen, maybe after listening, you will Draw your own conclusions.”

Yunieff nodded.

"We are going to get into more details now. I thought about it, and it would be better to start with Harry." Dumbledore continued, "Although, looking forward, we know that Harry is the one who defeated Voldemort. boy, but at the time, this was not so certain."

"Not so sure? Why?" Yunieff asked.

"Because the day before Harry was born, on July 7, Neville Longbottom was born," he said.

"Neville?" Yunifer recalled the little boy who looked for toads on the train and was a little waxy, but ended up being sorted into Gryffindor.

"Wait a minute." He frowned, pointed to the prophecy on the table, and asked, "At that time, were Harry and Neville the only two people born at the end of July? If there were only two people born at the end of July, Britain should have countless targets. That’s right.”

"Of course there are other conditions," Dumbledore said. "What is on the table is just an abbreviated version of my summary, which is probably like the table of contents of a book."

As he spoke, he waved his hand on the table again.

I saw that the original line of words was suddenly erased and replaced by a rather long paragraph.

Yunieff looked at it and understood the restriction: he was born into a family that had resisted him three times.

Dumbledore said: "In short, for us at that time, we had two boys. Although the end of July is the 7st, since there is only one day left, we still cannot take it lightly. To put it cruelly, if the protection is not in place , if it is particularly easy to be captured, Voldemort doesn't mind killing Neville first and then Harry."

"Therefore, even though we later knew that Voldemort had chosen Harry as his target, he still did not relax his protection of Neville. In fact, Voldemort did not let him go. He sent his Death Eaters to attack the Longbottom house. And he himself attacked Harry."

"This is also a clever point." Dumbledore narrowed his eyes. "If there was only one boy, Voldemort would most likely not take action himself. Of course, there would be no result like this."

"But that shouldn't be surprising," Yunivo said. "It could just be a coincidence."

"Yes, that alone is not strange," said Dumbledore. "Fate and prophecy have their own peculiarities. But the thing is - there are others -"

"At that time, Longbottom's parents were both Aurors, so the Ministry of Magic arranged the protection for them. As for Harry's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Potter, I discussed the protection method with them. Of course, the best way I have always been by their side. But the war was urgent at the time, and it was impossible for me to do this. If that were the case, the wizarding world would have fallen into Voldemort's hands before the prophecy came true."

"So, I suggest that they use the Loyalty Charm to protect themselves."
