After being kicked out of his office, Harry wandered around the castle for a long time, only returning to the Gryffindor common room until late in the evening.

When he went to breakfast the next day, Harry was in a state of confusion. He really couldn't accept that his father was the kind of person he hated the most.

The way he was wrong was so obvious that anyone who was even the slightest bit familiar with him could tell that he was out of order. After breakfast, under Ginny's questioning, Harry finally confided to Ginny what he had encountered in the Potions classroom.

Ryan and Hermione greeted Harry with concern, but Harry only said that Snape felt he had some foundation now and could continue learning on his own. Ryan probably guessed what was going on, but Harry wasn't willing to say that he wasn't a talkative person.

"That means you're not taking Occlumency classes anymore?" asked Hermione, frowning, she had always felt that Harry shouldn't stop being taught by Snape until he was able to take full control of those dreams. Harry, however, was a little impatient.

"Alright. Seeing that the atmosphere was getting hotter, Ryan reached out to stop Hermione. "It's not a bad thing that Harry doesn't accept Snape's guidance, and I think the recent Harry nightmares have a lot to do with Snape's rough dementoring. Those spells had made Harry's brain more fragile, and I thought it might be better for Harry to take a break and then learn on his own. ”

"Perhaps, you are right. Hermione was finally persuaded to stop talking about it.

With Headmaster Dumbledore's expulsion, many articles derogatory of Dumbledore began to appear in various magazines controlled by the Ministry of Magic, and it seemed that Fudge wanted to completely destroy Dumbledore's prestige.

However, unlike the situation after Dumbledore's death in the original books, a living top white wizard is not something that others can humiliate at will, at least at the level of those reporters is far from enough.

Especially in any world, the people who can become journalists are well-informed. Now we all know something about the extinction of the ancient vampire family and the extinction of the last giants in Europe. In this case, they are at most vague about something, and they will never dare to publish something similar to "Albus" as in the original text. Dumbledore's Life and Lies".

But even this extremely vague description still caused an uproar in the wizarding world. People began to pay attention to what Dumbledore, who was considered the most powerful white wizard and symbol of justice, did when he was younger.

Since wizards generally lived longer than Muggles, many of those who lived through the Grindelwald era survived. In this case, many young wizards at Hogwarts received a lot of stories from their elders about Dumbledore's youth.

As the news spread, the Ministry of Magic's purpose was partially achieved. A lot of bad news began to circulate inside Hogwarts Castle against Dumbledore.

"Is it true that all the news about Dumbledore is true?" On the third day of the Easter holidays, Ryan was refining a new defensive bracelet in an empty classroom when Hermione slammed the door in, and she knew that she had just come from the library by looking at the book under her arm.

"What's the news?" Ryan asked, turning the crimson solution suspended in the air into a bracelet and placing it on the metal table next to him.

"It's all about...... Stories of Dumbledore's youth. Hermione looked incredulous. "I've heard from a Ravenclaw girl that her great-grandmother was in Godric's Hollow and had seen Dumbledore and Grindelwald together when they were younger. ”

"It's not just that. Ryan pulled Hermione to sit down at a table, then looked at Hermione and said. "I know more than you know, and I can tell you if you want to hear it. ”

Hearing Ryan's words, Hermione nodded immediately, and then stared into his eyes. Ryan smiled, it is really human nature to pursue the privacy of celebrities, and it has nothing to do with the person's age, gender, and personality.

Half an hour later, Hermione sat back in her chair with a sluggish expression. The information she had received before had been unbelievable. From the very beginning of his schooling, Dumbledore declared that love was the greatest power, giving the impression of a kind old man. But in Ryan's telling, she knew that Dumbledore had worked with Grindelwald in his youth to try to establish a Muggle world ruled by wizards. This was hard for her to accept.

"Where do you find it difficult to accept, is it what Dumbledore did to his family or his idea of trying to rule the world. Ryan pulled out a tea set and poured a cup of black tea for himself and Hermione.

"Nature is the idea of trying to rule the world. Hermione picked up a teacup and took a sip. "If his sister is silent, I can understand why Dumbledore hid his sister, considering the attitude of wizards towards werewolves now, I know that it was the best choice for him to hide his sister at that time, and in the end his sister's death was also an accident, and it was not appropriate to blame him completely. It's just that I really can't understand why he had the idea of ruling the world when he was young, especially when he put forward the sentence for the greatest good. ”

"It's normal. Ryan also raised his teacup and took a sip. "If you think that the tragedy in his family was caused by what the three Muggle boys did to his sister, it was only natural that he hated Muggles in that situation. ”

"But beware, even in this situation, Dumbledore finally came to his senses. Recognize your mistakes and personally correct the damage you have caused, and then defeat your lover in a duel, and then insist on doing righteous things and cultivating generations of young wizards for so many years. From the results, we can see that Dumbledore was confused at most in the early days, but after waking up, he has always insisted on justice and fought against all kinds of evil forces. That's why I don't agree with some of his views, but still think he's a great wizard. ”

"Yes, our headmaster is not a god, and he naturally makes mistakes. But he made mistakes when he was young, corrected them, and finally made up for the losses caused by his mistakes himself. We cannot deny his greatness because of his mistakes in his youth. Hermione suddenly came to her senses, and she seemed much more lively than before. "By the way, you just said that Grindelwald is Dumbledore's lover?"

After figuring out her biggest doubts, Hermione shifted her focus in a strange direction.

"You heard it right, our headmaster's sexuality isn't so mainstream. But the wizarding world is much more open-minded than Muggles in this regard—" Over the next ten minutes, the two of them began to talk about the differences between wizards and Muggles, while accumulating some interesting material for their magazine.

"By the way, when is the next issue of the magazine?" Ryan asked shortly after talking about the magazine.

"It will be released on time in the middle of this month. Hermione said confidently. "Thanks to the Ministry of Magic's stupid policies, we've been able to recruit several good hemp wizards like Penelope. And as people who know both worlds, they have a great advantage when it comes to compiling this magazine. Seriously, I think they're good enough to hold some important positions in the Ministry of Magic. Even the worst one is much better than Umbridge. ”

"These good wizards can only do the lowest jobs in the Ministry of Magic, and they don't have enough room for promotion. Just because they were Muggle-born, that's why they were determined to change all that. Ryan said solemnly.

"Yes, it's worth the gamble. Hermione nodded approvingly. "Even if it comes at the cost of lives, whether it's the mystery man and his lackeys or ours. ”
