Chapter 682: Dumbledore's Self-Blame

Now, only Dumbledore, Aven, and Harry were left in the room. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Harry looked a little reserved, Dumbledore looked tired, and Fudge didn't seem to be that easy to deal with.

Evan was well aware that while Dumbledore could ignore the opinion of the Ministry of Magic, he would not do so unless he had to.

Because doing so would undoubtedly make everything worse, he would get as much support as possible from Fudge and the Ministry of Magic.

But it's really hard, and Fudge is getting harder and harder to be satisfied and compromised......

He had to think about his position and power first, and then everything else.

"Do you two have something to tell me?!" Dumblebe said, turning to Evan and Harry, "but I'd suggest you have something to eat before you do, I don't think you had breakfast when you came!"

He waved his wand, and milk and sandwiches appeared on the table.

Dumbledore sat down in the chair behind the table, motioning for Evan and Harry to sit across from him.

As they ate, his gaze shifted to the unclosed cabinet door, as if he had guessed what was going on.

"Professor!" Harry explained in a panic, swallowing the food in his mouth, "The cabinet door was open when we came in......

"That's why we accidentally saw the meditation basin inside!" added Aven, "and your memories!"

"I can understand that when Fudge arrived, I was using it. I put it away in a hurry, presumably because I didn't close the cabinet door tightly, and it will naturally attract your attention. Dumbledore said calmly, gazing at the two men from above the half-moon lenses, "It's not a sin to be curious, but I have to say again, we should be careful when we're curious. Especially you, Aven, don't get too much into things you don't know, really......"

"I see!" Evan nodded, what was Dumbledore referring to?!

Is it the dangerous dark magic, or the demons in the basement, or the terrible evil gods?!

"Good!" Dumbledore smiled again.

He walked over and opened the cabinet door, brought the meditation basin over, and placed it on the table in front of them.

The contents of the basin had turned back to a silvery white state, swirling and rippling before their eyes.

"I think you should know, this meditation basin!" Dumbledore said, sitting down again, "Sometimes I feel like I have too many thoughts and memories in my head and need to use it to help me sort it out." Pour the memories into a basin and take a good look at them when you have time. You know that in this state it is easier to see their form and their connection to each other. ”

As Evan and Harry watched, he slipped the tip of his wand into his silver hair, near his temple.

When he pulled out his wand, there seemed to be some strands of hair stuck to the tip of the wand, a small wisp of silver-white substance that was the same as in the basin.

Dumbledore added this new thought to the basin, holding the meditation basin with his slender hands and turning it.

Like a gold digger turning a sand table, Gradually, Snape's face appeared inside the stone basin.

Snape opened his mouth and spoke towards the ceiling, with a slight echo.

"He's back, and so is Karkaroff's, more clearly and clearly than ever......"

"He's back, and I don't need help to find the connection!" Dumbledore lamented, "It's too obvious, I thought he would keep a low profile." ”

Dumbledore frowned slightly, and pounded the thoughts in the basin with the tip of his staff.

Immediately a figure rose from the basin, a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old, with pale skin and freckles.

He was Barty Crouch Jr. of his younger age, with his legs still standing in the basin.

When he spoke, it echoed like Snape, as if it were coming from the depths of a stone basin.

"Yes, Professor, I have to get all twelve ordinary wizard level exams, and my father has asked me to do it, so I want to apply for a time turner......" His face was proud, and his tone reminded Evan of Malfoy.

"Is this Mr. Crouch's son?!" Harry whispered, looking at the boy.

"Yes!" Dumbledore pounded the thoughts in the basin again, and little Barty sank, and the basin turned opaque silvery-white again, "That's Barty Crouch Jr., I remember when he was a student, a very smart child, and very polite. Believe me, there aren't many students who can study new spells at this age, and Barty Sr. expects a lot from him. ”

"He developed his own spell at the age of fourteen?" Evan asked.

"A very interesting little magic!" said Dumbledore, "he got perfect marks in all his classes, and he was the best graduate of Hogwarts since Tom Riddle." I thought he would work for the Ministry of Magic, and his son would inherit his father's business......"

"Professor, I just watched the memories of that trial, and he's not like the other three Death Eaters!" Harry said hesitantly, "he really just happened to be in that place......

"Nothing happens by chance, Harry!" Dumbledore closed his eyes and said in a self-reproachful tone, "I also learned later that he joined Voldemort's ranks shortly after this conversation, becoming the youngest Death Eater, and was quickly taken seriously. I should have noticed that this was prevented!"

The silver light from the meditation basin illuminated Dumbledore's face, he looked so old.

It was as if Evan had just realized this, and the greatest wizard in the world was like a real old man at this moment.

"I sometimes think that there is a big problem with our educational philosophy. Dumbledore said slowly, "Teaching students only magic, not the principles of being human, has led to the emergence of so many dark wizards." Especially for the Slytherin students, they are very good, but it also means that they are more tempted and must be guided carefully......"

Unlike the other professors, Dumbledore cared about what the students were thinking, and always was.

Especially for those who were very gifted, he wanted to be able to lead them to the right path, and he considered it his responsibility.

That's a good idea, although not always the results are perfect.

Voldemort is the clearest example of this, who grew up almost under Dumbledore's gaze and grew into the most evil of the Dark Lords.

In the realm of magic, the more you know, the more ambitious you become, and the stronger you become, the more temptations you will receive.

Sometimes, what seems right can often backfire.
