Sean fell silent. He raised his hands as if to see if they were stained with blood. He thought of what he had seen in the Mirror of Erised.
He suddenly felt that there seed to be a demon in his body, and that demon was waiting to wake up, yearning for blood.
Sean clenched the fist in front of him tightly, and when he raised his head again, the calmness and firmness on his face surprised Dumbledore.
“Why , professor? How do you know that it’s ? That prophecy doesn’t have a clear answer.” Sean said in a deep voice.
Dumbledore patted the stool beside him to signal him to sit down, but Sean stood where he was.
He withdrew his hand and said softly, “Gellert and I spent a lot of ti investigating the historical disaster ntioned in the prophecy. The so-called ‘culprit’ is likely to be a wizard who has awakened sothing in their bloodline. The prophecy ntions, ‘Pride is locked in a prison’, I think it ans the bloodline is in a dormant state.”
“Until after a thousand years, seven of his descendants will wake up, and you are the most important one. Gellert is a seer, he foresaw your birth, and the other seer I knew made the sa prophecy.”
Sean nodded, and his voice beca calr, “Professor, you and Mr. Grindelwald should have investigated it when I was born, right?”
“Yes, we need to determine whether you have the blood. The result is obvious.” Dumbledore smiled helplessly, “I even secretly hoped that you would be just an ordinary person. However, the mont you were born, your na was recorded in the Hogwarts Book of Admittance.”
Sean continued to ask, “The prophecy ans that the blood in my body will awaken so kind of dark power, which will bring disaster to the world. In the second half, the prophecy also said, ” I will lead the others?”
“Yes, at least literally,” said Dumbledore, “but the prophecy is still too vague to be able to judge its specific aning.”
He looked very calm, “Sean, what you have can be transford into sothing else. I think this requires your own efforts, which is why I have always wanted to guide you.”
Sean took a deep breath and said, “The prophecy says that this cannot be done, and everyone will die.”
Dumbledore stood up and said seriously, “Sean, I have always believed that everyone has a bright side and a dark side. We can choose which side to show and determine what kind of people we beco. It’s not how we were made from the start, but the choices we made.”
Sean smiled, “Professor, do you think I can do it?”
He froze for a mont and laughed, “You are more mature than I imagined, Sean.”
“After all, nothing much has happened.” Sean shrugged casually.
After hearing the prophecy, he was feeling a little bit gloomy. After all, there is a bomb hidden in his body. But as Dumbledore said, it is his choice that determines the outco.
The atmosphere seed to be relaxed all of a sudden. Sean picked up the drink Dumbledore poured for him before and took a big sip, “I don’t feel anything wrong now. Is that kind of blood slowly awakening?”
Dumbledore also took a sip of his drink and he squinted his eyes, “This is one of the reasons why I chose to tell you. I don’t know how and when it will wake up. I hope you can prepare in advance, whether it is physically or psychologically.”
Sean nodded and then asked, “What about the other deadly sins? I’ve seen the nas of Harry and Neville on Mr. Grindelwald’s table.”
“Yes, they also have the blood. Judging from the prophecy, they seem to be led by you. To put it roughly, your awakening will drive how the others act.”
“Is Daisy too?”
Dumbledore’s expression beca serious, “No, Daisy doesn’t belong to the list. That’s another reason why I told you the prophecy. Soone behind the scenes has been planning sothing, and I don’t know their purpose.”
“Although I have been called the greatest wizard of our ti by many people, it is clear that there are still too many things I don’t understand, and there are too many unknowns in this world.”
He looked at Sean and emphasized his tone, “I suspect that the person behind all of this wants to push the prophecy to co to reality. He wants to release the ‘Pride’ in you.”
Sean’s heart beca heavy, “Can the thing in my body be removed?”
“No, blood is above all else. I don’t think there are people with such ability in this world that could do that. Sean, the only person who can release the potential that lurks inside is yourself, and only you can suppress it.”
Sean thought about this sentence. Did Dumbledore an that his blood would not be affected by external factors?
He scratched his hair a little.
“Professor, are there any special conditions for the awakening? Or is there a ti limit? Since the prophecy was ntioned a thousand years later.” Sean asked.
“If you look at it completely according to the prophecy, ti is the most intuitive condition for the awakening. There are six years left, when you graduate from Hogwarts, the blood will definitely awaken.” Dumbledore said.
“Six years…” Sean took a deep breath, six years may seem like a long ti, but in fact, it is only a short ti.
What’s more, is that there’s another person who wants to make the prophecy co true, which can cause the ti for the awakening to be shortened.
Dumbledore handed over a notebook and smiled, “You don’t have to be nervous all the ti. Just do your thing normally and attend your class like you usually would because it might help. I’m sure you don’t want to get more point deductions from the potions class.”
Sean took the notebook, “Professor, what is this?”
“A little bit of information about Animagus. If you don’t understand sothing, you can ask Minerva anyti.”
Sean rubbed the rough side of the notebook, but he quickly realized that there was another aning in Dumbledore’s words.
