"Like Tom, this little thing has a bad heart, and likes to encourage others to fight and cause strife... Take this opportunity to relieve boredom. Alan glanced at the little hand, which immediately jumped back to its place, posed upright, and stopped jumping around, "So, Albus, what would you like to drink? I'm sorry I'm not interested in sweets, but there are a lot of drinks... Do you want to try Muggle Coke? The taste is strange for wizards... But overall it's still on the sweet side, and you should like it..."

"Sounds like maybe I should have assigned him to Gryffindor in the first place?" replied with the Sorting Hat cracking open its mouth.

"I'm not old-fashioned about these things, Alan, I've drunk it, I like the taste, but it makes you fat when paired with popcorn. Dumbledore sat down at the Headmaster's desk and said in a relaxed tone.

Alan pulled out a large bottle of Coke from his Xiaoice cabinet in the cabinet, as well as two transparent glasses, the Coke bottle was opened with a snort, poured into the cup, the bubbles inside bubbled up, and then he used his fingers to point out a little bit of the air to cast a deliberately suppressed power of the quick freezing and ice.

The two headmasters of Hogwarts took the cups whose walls had begun to condense due to the freezing and touched them, and each took a sip and let out a comfortable sigh.

Putting down the glass, Alan glanced at the clock in his office, "So Albus, let's get down to business, Sirius told you what's going on?"

"Sirius did come to me, and we talked for a long time to convince him to give up on getting rid of the soul fragment on Harry's forehead for the time being... I made an unbreakable oath with him that I would not risk Harry's life, and that was the premise of his agreement for the time being..."Dumbledore sat down in the chair in front of Headmaster Allen's desk, and this switch of place with Alan made him move his chair a little uncomfortably, "So Ellen, I want you to remember the promise you made to me not to interfere with Harry's mission. ”

"That's why I didn't just remove the shard, but instead chose to have Sirius ask for your opinion..."Alan leaned back in his chair, "Albus, do you still think Tom continues to believe in that prophecy? I think Tom will start to wonder if he is crazy..."

"As you told Sirius, since you can pull it out for him at any time, you don't have to do it right away, do you?" Dumbledore looked at Alan from above the half-moon lenses and smiled, not dwelling on the question, "You know my attitude towards divination class, I haven't taken it myself... But I think Tom still believes in fate so much. ”

"Albus, but fate does have a trace... I guess you know about Life debt, right? Even if you don't believe it exists, I've been less busy lately, and I've made a little bit of a difference in some of the Silent people's businesses... We should be more open about what we don't understand..."Alan shook his head slightly and disagreed with Dumbledore's attitude towards a subject, "I have found that this is not groundless, there is indeed a special connection between two wizards - when one wizard saves the life of another wizard, then fate will make the rescued person owe a debt of life. A shaman who is in debt must pay the debt of his life by doing something that benefits the savior. Even between rivals and enemies, this fateful link can arise, whether the person wants to or not... However, it is precisely because of this connection that a wizard in debt will sometimes unconsciously repay the debt of his life, and may even go against his original will in order to pay it back.

"I'm ashamed to see you have such a passion for the mysteries of magic itself..."Dumbledore seemed a little surprised that Alan would start discussing academic things with him, and he smiled bitterly, "As a wizard, I've been lost in everything else for too long since I discovered the twelve uses of dragon blood, and because of that, in fact, except for Harry... I'm here today mainly to ask you some other questions..."After speaking, then his expression became more serious, "Alan, after your economic reform came out, what was the reaction of foreign countries, I don't think I need to say that you understand, some foreign wizards have been messed up, and even want me to come forward... I know that I don't know anything about the current state of the wizarding world, or about the economy... But these foreign wizarding worlds... Don't you just leave it alone?"

"I know that their own media has been heavily critical of our decision-making, and that their wizard people have even been involved in protests against us... They also put pressure on the International Federation of Wizards, and the members of the Federation also issued a warning to us..."Hearing this, Allen's body shrank back to the backrest, which made Dumbledore a little unable to see his face, "But the president of the International Federation of Wizards is not involved this time... What does this mean? It shows that their warnings, like their sanctions, are baseless... So, what reform is going to be carried out by the British Ministry of Magic, Dumbledore, these people who have no qualifications and positions, have no right to interfere with our policies and positions... Why should I waste time responding to them?"

Perched on a branch in the office, Ankh the Phoenix felt her spouse's emotions and let out a high, crisp chirp.

Dumbledore listened quietly, and after Alan finished speaking, he was silent for a moment: "Alan, as many people suspect... Are you... I don't understand at all what kind of reason you have been creating tensions in the world?

"We didn't start it first. Alan raised his eyes and stared at Dumbledore, as if he was a little impatient, "I'm just making the British wizarding world grow faster than other countries, the kind of great wizarding country I once told you, I just want Hogwarts to become it... So can the magical world in other countries have a balance in their hearts, will they accept it... I've restrained Dumbledore enough... I can only assure you that I will not let the British wand put the first spell first..."

"A true and lasting victory is peace, not war. Dumbledore looked at Alan without backing down, and he said softly, "I don't understand why you're in such a hurry on so many things..."

"Dumbledore, I have to remind you that you are now reinstated as a member of the International Confederation of Wizards, but you are not the Headmaster of Hogwarts or a member of the Ministry of Magic... If you didn't speak out when foreign powers imposed unwarranted sanctions on us before, now you and your people continue to want to do things that are beyond your identity... Then I have to remind you that you will be playing the role of the bad guy this time... Like you said, you can also hear what the marchers are shouting..."Alan raised his voice, then sighed and softened his tone a little, "Albus, you should know that I think you have always been a good person, so I have been very restrained in some of your behavior, and I have never wanted us to go to the opposite side... But you always seem to suspect that I'm a bad person? Let me be honest, Albus, I tell you, I never had any idea of unifying the whole world... Whether it's wizarding or Muggle... Just as I was reluctant to accept your control and arrangement when I was in the lower grades, now I just won't accept that the British wizarding world is at the mercy of other countries... So instead of you coming to me to persuade me to make peace, think of a way to use your fame, and think of how to persuade the other countries that have taken the lead to give up confrontation and recognize the rise of our Britain..."

Dumbledore's slender fingers cupped the glasses on his crooked nose, "So I don't understand why you're focusing on these things... Why do you care..."

"Because I cared about it in the past... The people I care about need me to keep caring about," Alan took another sip of his Coke, "So, Albus, what is your attitude and plan?"

"Please forgive me for having to take a sip first..."Dumbledore took a sip of his drink apologetically, and then put it down and said without giving in and hesitating, "Alan, my attitude and intention are in view of the other two questions that followed... I appreciate that you are so patient and honest with me, an obnoxious old man. ”

Alan nodded for Dumbledore to continue, he understood the attitude and meaning of the White Wizard from Gryffindor in front of him, and he would not give up on the 'right thing' just because he couldn't beat himself or any other difficulty.

Dumbledore's long silver beard rested on the headmaster's desk as he got up, "So, Alan, I've noticed that in some of the history of magic... In the history of magic, which was written nearly a thousand years ago with poetry and frescoes, in 1066 there was a pale-headed, pale-skinned dark wizard dressed like your robes and your staff..."
