Harry's Career Guidance

The Room of Requirement.

Lucien and Harry sat facing each other on two cushioned sofas.

"Lucien," Harry said, clasping his hands on his knees, "You know a lot. I'd like to ask... what do you think I'd be best suited for in the future?"

"Oh, so that's what you wanted to ask," Lucien said with a slight smile.

There is also a job guidance component.

It seems that Hogwarts students, when they reach their senior years, will discuss their future career plans with their respective headmasters and professors.

However, Harry is only in his second year, so asking this question is actually a bit premature.

Lucien didn't answer immediately, but quickly reviewed Harry's life trajectory in the original story in his mind.

If things follow that script, Harry will eventually become the Head of the Auror Office —simply put, he'll command a group of very capable wizards to maintain order in the Wizarding World.

This fully demonstrates his talent in Defense Against the Dark Arts.

Harry's ability to sit in that position was not only due to his own skill in Defense Against the Dark Arts, but also because he had gained ample practical experience and honed his skills during the Wizarding Wars triggered by Voldemort's return, and had accumulated sufficient prestige.

It could be said that fate pushed him to that position.

but...

Lucien didn't believe that with him around, Voldemort would be able to start any wizarding wars and disrupt the world's peace.

Dumbledore is already working on the search for and collection of Horcrux.

Moreover, he himself knew the exact locations of several Horcrux —such as Slytherin's Locket, which was hidden in Black's old house and could only be accessed by finding Sirius Black.

I can try to get my hands on it when I have time during summer vacation.

If, in the end, you destroy all the Horcrux you've collected right in front of Voldemort, I wonder what kind of unhappy expression that no-nostril Voldemort will have.

As for methods to destroy Horcrux, Basilisk Venom and Fiendfyre are not difficult for Lucien.

However, after mastering the Patronus Charm and discovering that his Patronus Charm possessed soul-related properties, Lucien had other ideas.

It would be better if we could use the Patronus Charm to extract Voldemort's soul fragments from the Horcrux, or destroy only the soul fragments without harming the Horcrux itself.

Voldemort liked to seek out rare and powerful items as the base of Horcrux, such as Ravenclaw's Diadem, Slytherin's Locket, and Hufflepuff's Cup —these important relics of the Founders of Hogwarts possessed remarkable magical effects in themselves.

It would be a real shame to destroy it directly with Basilisk Venom and Fiendfyre.

Lucien glanced at Harry; the man before him was also one of Voldemort's "Horcrux".

It's a good thing that the soul fragments within Harry can be dealt with ahead of time, sparing him the pain of being killed by Voldemort once in the original story.

However, these thoughts only flashed through my mind.

Lucien snapped out of his reverie and focused his attention on Harry's question.

"Harry," Lucien began, his tone gentle, "If we disregard the 'expectations' others have of you, have you ever thought about what you want to do in the future?"

Harry paused for a moment, then looked down at his clasped hands.

After a long pause, he said, "I don't know either... When I was with the Dursley family, I never thought about the future. They said I'd only be able to work on an assembly line in a factory or carry goods in a supermarket. It wasn't until I came to Hogwarts that I realized there were so many career options."

He looked up, a hint of confusion in his green eyes. "I like Quidditch, but becoming a professional player isn't easy, is it? And I don't want to make playing Quidditch my job; that might take away the fun."

Lucien nodded.

Harry's talent is indeed remarkable—he excels in Quidditch, Defense Against the Dark Arts, and Potions.

Moreover, they are not limited to a single field, and given their young age and high potential, they have many possibilities for the future.

The key point is that this child isn't short of money.

With the Galleon in the family treasury, they don't have to worry about making a living and have enough capital to make mistakes.

From this perspective, it seems we don't need to focus solely on the Auror option.
