The next day was the weekend, and the weather was unusually good. Ryan woke up early, jogged with Hermione and said goodbye to her after breakfast, and then stepped on the bright golden sunlight shining through the window in the hallway to the door of the principal's office.

After reaching the door and reading the door to the monster the opening order to burst candy, and scolding Dumbledore's taste for choosing candy, Ryan made his way to the door of Dumbledore's office with a brass knocker through the spiral staircase. After a polite knock on the door, the door opened automatically, and Ryan saw Professor Dumbledore sitting in the chair behind his large desk, thinking about something with his fingers crossed.

After seeing Ryan outside the door, he smiled at Ryan and held out his hand to make a gesture of please, motioning for Ryan to sit down on the chair in front of him.

"Good morning, Professor Dumbledore. After sitting in his chair, Ryan bowed slightly and greeted Professor Dumbledore.

"Ah, good morning, Ryan, what would you like to drink now?" Dumbledore asked with a smile, then stretched out his wand and lit the table as he shifted drinks. "Black tea, pumpkin juice, or some lemonade?"

"Hot tea. As soon as Ryan's voice fell, two cups of hot black tea appeared in front of the two of them. After taking the cup and sitting down, Ryan looked at Headmaster Dumbledore and asked. "Is there anything you asked me to do here this morning?"

"Of course, I have something to look for you. Here's how it went. Dumbledore said in a slow voice characteristic of an old man, "I noticed that you were teaching your classmates some magic at your little party yesterday that is not suitable for them right now, so I thought I should remind you of that today." ”

"But I teach you that magic is definitely not black magic. Ryan said categorically. "I remember that Hogwarts only forbade people to learn those dangerous dark arts, but it didn't say that people were not allowed to learn this kind of magic. ”

"Yes, that's right. Dumbledore said slowly. "It's true that the magic you teach you is not black magic, but it is not small and can cause all kinds of problems for learners and others. For example, I think that if you take the risk of learning spells that are too dangerous, you can easily get hurt by it. ”

"One thing you said is true, these spells are not weak, and it is impossible to ensure 100% safety in learning. Ryan stared at Dumbledore's blue eyes and nodded earnestly. "But I'm afraid you're wrong, I think these are the things you should learn now. ”

Seeing Dumbledore put his elbows on the table and listened intently, Ryan also sat up straight and said. "I know that you have always thought that the war with the mysterious people and their gang is only your task and that of the few brave volunteers, and I hope that the war will not involve the innocent people. It's like you're putting all the pressure on your shoulders—"

"Your compliments make me blush a little, I'm not as great as you say, and I'm only fighting Voldemort to make up for the mistakes I made when I was younger. After hearing Ryan's praise, Dundedo smiled wryly and shook his head.

"But in any case, you are at the forefront of the battle against the Mysteries, and I respect you for that. "But there's one thing you might have overlooked, and that's that the situation is now more than just a little bit of the Order of the Phoenix and the Ministry of Magic can solve." ”

At this point, Ryan paused and continued. "Now that the Mystery's assault on the wizarding world has turned into an all-out war, even the Muggle world outside has faced their random and indiscriminate attacks and has suffered heavy casualties. One thing to note is that the members of my interest group are all targeted by the Mystic and his Death Eaters due to their family backgrounds. So I think it's very important to teach them some fighting skills. ”

"You should trust us and the Ministry of Magic to provide adequate protection, especially in our school, which should be completely safe. Deng Liduo thought for a moment and said.

"Sorry, I'm having a hard time believing that. Ryan looked at Dumbledore and said helplessly. "The bloodshed caused by the Death Eaters alone is telling, and we want to really learn to fight, so that we don't have to sit still if we do encounter Death Eaters. Neville, for example, said that he would rather die as honorably as a warrior in battle than wait for death."

"Neville Longbottom?" Professor Dumbledore sighed after hearing the name, and then was silent for more than ten seconds: "We were careless after Voldemort disappeared, it was our mistake, I owe a lot to the Longbottom family—"

"When people get old, they always think about the past. Soon Dumbledore came out of his memories and said to Ryan in a consultative tone, "I think Voldemort is indeed a danger to everyone right now, and I hope that every teacher and student will always be vigilant and not take it lightly." In this case, you have no problem learning to defend yourself, but why don't you learn the safer magic of the Disarming Charm or the Stun Charm as you did last year?"

After listening to Dumbledore's words, Ryan realized that the differences between him and him were not as great as he had imagined. This is just out of a simple worry of the principal about his students, just like many primary and secondary school principals simply cancel the spring or autumn outing because they are worried that something will happen to the students. It's not that in some parts of his previous life, it seemed like Dumbledore needed to control the overall situation, so he would suppress all uncertainties and so on.

But come to think of it, a person who can get the praise of most of the wizarding world must not be the kind of person who is self-respecting. Aside from the fact that he would focus on key figures like Harry who would be crucial to the final victory, Dumbledore was actually semi-laissez-faire to most people, including Ryan. There is no need to worry about being targeted by Dumbledore

For example, now, a note notification arrives immediately after your own party. This meant that the Headmaster had a very high level of control over the school, and as an experienced centenarian, Dumbledore should have seen what the Reading Club was supposed to do. However, his attitude towards the book club has always been laissez-faire, and he only intervenes in cases where this time it may actually cause serious harm. But even so, the principal used gentle communication to solve the problem.

Since it is not directly targeted, it means that Professor Dundedo can be convinced. Thinking of this, Ryan's whole person seemed much more energetic. "Professor Dumbledore, I don't want to put my classmates in danger. But now it's even more dangerous out there, and the Death Eaters won't let us go just because we're students or minors. ”

"But even if you learn these magics, you won't be a match for the murderous Death Eaters, and it's not worth the risk to learn these dangerous magics in this situation. Dumbledore said as he crossed his fingers across his chest and leaned forward slightly.

"But after learning these spells, at least we can have a fight, and maybe we can escape. But if you don't master these more powerful magics, you'll have to sit and die. ”

Seeing that Professor Dumbledore was lost in thought, Ryan hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and continued. "We don't have much ambition and we don't want to hurt people. The only purpose of learning these magic is to survive this war. ”

"yes, live. Professor Dumbledore let out a long sigh. "I've seen so many deaths in my life, and I don't want to see innocent people die anymore. ”

Ryan knew that this should be the headmaster's sincere words, and the reason why Dumbledore fought with Voldemort for the rest of his life, and even put his own life on the line in the original text. A large part of the reason is to atone for the death of his sister caused by his actions when he was young. He also learned a lot from that mistake, including that those who control the power must be responsible, otherwise it will only lead to disaster. The reason why he talked to Ryan today was also because he was worried that Ryan would be controlled by power, but fortunately, the result of the conversation made him greatly relieved.

"I think I can allow you to continue learning these magics so that more innocent people can survive. Professor Dumbledore thought for a moment. "But you'd better be safe, or I'll have to take my permission back. Well, today is the weekend, and I wish you a great weekend. ”

"Thank you, Professor, I will definitely put everyone's safety first, please don't worry. Ryan stood up and bowed earnestly to Dumbledore before leaving the Headmaster's office.

"It's not like you. Just as Ryan left, the portrait of Phineas on the wall opened his mouth.

Dumbledore ignored him, instead muttering as he looked at where Ryan had left. "I'm probably — really old, so this time I just hope I'll be strong enough to protect young people as much as I can before they're fully grown. ”
