Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

Chapter 1361: Young Dumbledore

Dumbledore pours new memories into the meditation basin and gently rotates the basin with his elongated hands.

“You've both seen about Voldemort's early experiences, and as we said before, the handsome Muggle, Tom Riddle, who abandoned his witch wife, Merop, and returned to his home in Little Hangton Village. Mellop stayed alone in London with that child in his belly who would later become Voldemort...”

“Professor, how do you know she's in London? ”

“Because of the evidence provided by Karaktakus Bok.” Dumbledore said, "What a coincidence, he founded a store that sold what we call the necklace that hurt Katie. ”

“Borkin-Boke Black Magic Store.” Ivan said.

“Yes, he is the owner of this store.” Dumbledore said.

He swayed something in the meditation basin, like a goldsmith sifting gold.

A little old man emerged in a spinning silver-white object, slowly spinning in a meditation basin, pale as a ghost, but more textured than a ghost. His hair was very thick and his eyes were completely covered.

“Yes, I got it under very special circumstances. It was taken by a young witch before Christmas, years ago, to say the least. She said she was in desperate need of money, yeah, that was obvious. She was dressed badly, her face pale and pregnant. She said the pendant box used to belong to Salazar Slytherin.” Mr. Borkin smiled with disdain, "cough, I hear this crap all the time: Oh, this is Merlin's stuff, God, I swear, really, this is his favorite teapot...”

“But when I looked closely, there was definitely a Slytherin mark on the pendant box, and I read a few more simple spells to get the truth out of that woman. Of course, that thing is worth a lot of money. The woman seemed to have no idea how valuable it was and was satisfied with selling only 10 gallons, which was the best deal we had ever made! ”

Dumbledore swayed the meditation basin extraordinarily hard, and Karaktakus returned to where he had just appeared, sinking into a spinning memory.

“Is that what he said about the locket?” Ivan revealed the locket behind his clothes.

“Yes, it's worth it. ”

Ivan nodded in favor of it, and it was priceless.

“But he only gave her ten gallons?!” Harry said angrily.

“Karaktakus Bok is not a generous man.” Dumbledore said, "so that we know that Merop was alone in London in the second trimester, desperately in need of money, and had to sell the only thing of value to her, Slytherin's pendant box, a heirloom that Mavolo cherished very much. ”

“I don't understand, Merop is a witch, why doesn't she magically get herself food and everything? There is no money at all, just magic can solve this problem. ”

“Hmm!" Dumbledore said, "No one can figure this out, we can only guess now, maybe she can. But I think I'm guessing again, but I believe I'm right. I think Merop stopped using magic after her husband abandoned her. She was hurt emotionally. She thinks she was abandoned by his Muggle husband because she was a witch. She probably doesn't want to be another witch. Of course, there is another possibility that her unrequited love and the resulting despair greatly diminish her power, and that such a thing can happen, and dramatic emotional fluctuations can affect her own magic. Anyway, you'll see later that even at the last minute, Merop won't lift his wand to save his life. ”

“Maybe after Riddle left, she was going to die!” Ivan guessed.

“Probably…” Dumbledore said.

“Is she not even willing to live for her son?” Harry asked.

His words raised Dumbledore's eyebrows, “Are you really sympathetic to Voldemort? ”

“No!” Harry said hastily, "But Mellop is a choice, isn't he, unlike my mother! ”

“Your mother has a choice, too.” Dumbledore gently said, "Yes, Mellop chose to die, despite the need for one of her sons, but don't beg her to blame, the prolonged suffering has made her vulnerable, and she has never had the courage as your mother, Harry! ”

Anyway, Merop insisted on giving birth to Voldemort.

Her life experience was so tragic, but if she gave up immediately after Riddle, there wouldn't be so much later.

“Now we will enter my memory, again a very important memory. ”

Dumbledore signaled Evan and Harry to stand up and enter the meditation basin.

Falling again in the dark, a few seconds later, when his feet stepped on solid ground, Ivan found himself standing on a busy old street in London with Dumbledore and Harry.

“That's me.” Dumbledore pointed to the figure of a tall man in front and said joyfully.

The man was crossing the road in front of a Mala milk truck, and the young Albus Dumbledore had long hair and long beard that were reddish brown. He came to the side of the road and walked along the sidewalk in a meteorological direction, attracting many curious glances in his exquisite purple red velvet suit.

Admittedly, young Dumbledores look handsome and have a unique personality.

Unlike Dumbledore's current temperament, it's the same temperament that gets noticed at first sight in the crowd.

And it's too hard to ignore young Dumbledore on such a street! His exquisite muggle suit is very trendy even now, only the entertainment industry is obvious to wear it, it is not as uncivilized or greasy as other wizards pretend to be muggles...

“Beautiful clothes, Professor!” Harry said without hesitation.

“Perfect fit, I bet a lot of girls will like you, Professor.” Ivan said with approval.

Dumbledore didn't answer, he just smiled softly.

Evan thinks he may be wrong, Dumbledore has never been married, not even a woman with rumours.

In other words, what's the use of being so handsome and dressed so trendy?

Once upon a time, maybe a lot of girls liked him, but he didn't.

They are now coming to understand the former Voldemort, but Evan suddenly feels that he also has a deeper understanding of the former Dumbledore...
