312. The education of the old principal
On one side of the headmaster's office, there are rows of portraits of former Hogwarts headmasters.
As far as Scott could see, all of the former Headmasters in the portrait were dozing off, as if no one was listening to his conversation with Dumbledore.
But Scott was sure that the former principals in these portraits must have been listening.
Medea had revealed that she knew that Scott had used arithmetic divination to calculate Voldemort's Horcruxes, suggesting that she had a way of knowing some of the conversations in the Headmaster's office at Hogwarts.
At the beginning, Scott couldn't help but have a suspicion - Phineas, the most unpopular headmaster in the history of Hogwarts? Black.
But that's just speculation.
Scott wasn't sure exactly how Medea learned about the information from the Headmaster's Office, saying only that one of these portraits had the greatest chance of being leaked.
If there really is a portrait that can pass on the news of Voldemort's regain of some power to Medea, it would be a good thing for Scott.
Medea should be reluctant to see Voldemort fully regain his strength.
Once Voldemort is fully recovered, with his strength, Medea really may not be able to get his soul.
After all, without sacrificing Voldemort's soul, Medea would not be able to fully recover, so she would be inferior in strength to Voldemort who had fully recovered.
At this time, Dumbledore said to Scott, "Miss Slytherin, this lady's activity may not be a good thing for the wizarding world either, don't you think?" ”
Scott nodded.
Although Medea is a little more measured than his descendants, at the end of the day, she is also unscrupulously destabilizing the wizarding world.
"Those Thestrals......" Scott suddenly remembered the stolen Thestrals, so he also asked Dumbledore curiously, "Didn't you want to go over and take them back?" ”
"I'm also struggling with how to get the carriage moving when the next semester starts." Dumbledore sighed, "It's a pity I'm getting old. ”
“……”
Scott was silent about it.
He felt that the old headmaster was playing tricks, he was really old, after all, he was more than a hundred years old, but he was not too old to wave a wand.
Dumbledore managed to get the question over and began asking Scott questions again.
He looked at Scott with a smile, "What did you mean just now that Voldemort would be busy fighting Medea first, even if he regained his strength?" ”
"That's what I thought." Scott said, "Medea needs Voldemort's soul to regain its strength, and Voldemort needs to get rid of Medea as a threat, and that's the most important thing for them." ”
"I didn't expect Tom...... I mean, Voldemort will face such a threat one day, and I promise he can't stand it. Dumbledore seemed to agree with Scott's statement.
But Scott doesn't think so.
Sure enough, the old headmaster followed suit, "Maybe...... It is indeed the smartest thing to let these two fight each other, preferably let them both lose, and then come forward as the righteous side to clean up the mess......"
However, Scott silently recited the word in his heart.
Dumbledore then said, "But we can't do that, do you know why? ”
Scott was silent.
Because we're not the Ministry of Magic? He said something in his heart.
"You know, Scott." Dumbledore said patiently.
Scott certainly knew what he was trying to say.
If the two are allowed to fight, the entire British wizarding community will be completely chaotic, and when the time comes, not to mention social unrest, I don't know how many innocent people will be involved.
But Scott still didn't understand why Dumbledore was discussing this with him.
After all, he wasn't a man like Dumbledore.
At this point, Dumbledore continued to look at Scott, and Scott continued to remain silent.
Scott knew what kind of person he was, not a good person, and he believed that Dumbledore could see something about him.
So, he could only remain silent about Dumbledore's words.
Is he going to hypocritically say that he has been taught, that he wants to change himself from now on and become a kind and brave person?
This kind of lie does not need to be brought out to shame.
Not to mention that he hadn't been hypocritical enough to do this, even if he shouted slogans, Dumbledore wouldn't believe it.
"Can't figure out why I'm telling you this?" Dumbledore asked again.
Scott nodded, he was a little confused.
He is not a "savior."
Dumbledore laughed again, and the atmosphere between the two of them became much lighter.
"I've been in this school for many years." He thought about it for a while, and pretended to be old and confused again, "I don't know how many years it has been." ”
Scott looked up at him, wondering what the old headmaster was trying to say to him.
"For many years, that is, I have seen countless students walk out of this castle."
Dumbledore smiled and looked up at the window.
"Most of these students just become ordinary wizards in the wizarding world, and they live their lives ordinarily, of course, that's fine......"
He seemed to be stuck in a long memory.
"It's just that there are some special students, some of them have become ministers of magic, some have become animal experts, some have become heroes, and some have become dark lords."
At this time, he looked at Scott again, "It seems to me that you are also a special student, Scott, because everyone can see that you have that kind of talent." ”
"Thank you, Professor, but I'm not going to be a hero, and I'm not going to be the Dark Lord." Scott said.
Dumbledore smiled and nodded, "Maybe you'll become a scholar?" Or a professor? ”
Scott just smiled, he didn't have a career plan.
"It doesn't really matter what you become, and of course, I'm sure you won't be the Dark Lord." Dumbledore said, "I didn't just talk to you about that, you were still a student. ”
At this point, he took a sip of tea before continuing, "I noticed you helping Neville? Longbottom and Jacob? Kent made a change, and that's good. ”
He gave Scott an appreciative look.
"I have to say that sometimes the whimsy of a young man like you will also inspire an old man like me."
"That's nothing." "It's just a little cleverness," Scott said. ”
He really didn't think it was a big deal.
"But I have some regret that you have never changed yourself." Dumbledore said earnestly, "A lot of times, the smartest choice isn't the best, and I hope you understand that." ”
Scott opened his mouth at the words, but couldn't say anything.
Dumbledore had already laughed again, and he winked at Scott, "I always thought that stubbornness was the only problem of an old man like me. ”
