Chapter 233: A Very Stupid Guardian
"Dumbledore?" Draco whispered, muttering in a confused tone, and stood up under Brie's eyes.
Draco gave Brie a self-begging look and left the carriage.
"Woooooo The Hogwarts Express departed, the rumbling sound continued to pass through the eardrums of the young wizard, and the parents of the new students on the platform kept waving goodbye to their children.
"It's a new year again, and the carefree laughter of children is the best gift at Hogwarts." Dumbledore sat on the couch, looking out the window at the platform that was moving away, and the sound of the young wizards and their parents saying goodbye gradually faded into his ears.
"I was also sent on this train by my family back then, memories." Dumbledore sighed.
Brie looked at the uninvited Dumbledore, and it wasn't until the nostalgia in Dumbledore's eyes disappeared that Brie answered: "It's changing with each passing day, and compared to Muggle transportation, this train is no longer called 'Express', doesn't anyone want to change it?" ”
Touching the old wagon, Dumbledore nodded, but shook his head again, and the voice of the salesman came from outside the door.
"Do you want candy, kids."
"Please come in, I may need some sweetness for a long journey." Dumbledore spoke up, and when an elderly sales witch opened the door with a snack cart, he exclaimed.
"Dumbledore!"
"Are you here?"
"It's been a long time, I remember you were here back then." Dumbledore chuckled and pointed to the push-lane, "Let's all come on, Ode pays." ”
The sales witch saw Brie nodding her head, so she took some of the snacks.
"Don't eat too much, Dumbledore, you don't seem to be able to take care of yourself at all, you were so clean and cheerful back then..."The sales witch fell into the memory, and the young Dumbledore appeared in her eyes, but she didn't know why she couldn't overlap with Dumbledore.
"You're too sloppy now, look at this shameful flower robe, was your aesthetic like this at the beginning?" The salesman said, shaking his head and pushing the cart away.
"Haha, don't mind the kids, people always change." Dumbledore was not embarrassed, and directly picked up a packet of Bibi Strange Beans and ate it.
Brie smiled and looked out the window, Dumbledore's arrival today must have been arranged, otherwise he should have waited for the arrival of the little wizard in the castle now, instead of sitting in the carriage with Brie.
Brie looked at the mountains and plains that kept repeating in front of him, and came back to his senses as if he was tired of it, and took out his notebook and waved it, and the cover of the note showed the words "Fundamentals of Natural Magic".
"This is the original?" Dumbledore spoke suddenly.
Brie shook her head.
"I'll always add new ideas, or dismiss previous ideas, and when those ideas have accumulated to a certain extent, I'll reorganize them and publish them... It's a version that's constantly changing. ”
Dumbledore looked at Brie with admiration and sighed, "Few wizards are willing to change their minds constantly, they always go the same way to the end. ”
Brie looked at Dumbledore in surprise.
"Can they be sure they've been right all along?"
Brie let down her guard and began to communicate with Dumbledore as normal teacher-student exchanges.
"Don't talk about his original intention, the process, the ending, just talk about the world, the world is constantly changing, some ideas will be backward, if you want to find a right way to live, it is difficult, you must keep changing yourself."
Brie lowered her head and wrote and drew on her notes, and from time to time magic appeared on them, or clouds and mist, or flowers bloomed in greenery......
Dumbledore stared deeply at Brie's notes, admiring the strangeness of Brie's notes before answering Brie's questions.
"Maybe he can't change himself, he's the one who has fallen behind and been eliminated...... The only thing he can do is to leave a hope for the future, the places he may not see, and look forward to stepping into the right future. ”
Brie stopped the quill that his wand had turned into, looked at Dumbledore, and said affirmatively, "Harry Potter is what you left behind." ”
It's not like Brie doesn't look down on Harry... Looking at it with the utmost justice, he thinks that Harry can't even reach Dumbledore's robes now, and that the title of savior is too watery, like a sponge.
"How can you be sure that Potter will step into 'his life' according to your arrangement?" Brie didn't say anything about Dumbledore's dictatorship, let alone autonomy and human rights, because Dumbledore was the strong, and Harry was the weak, and even if this world was a young game, the party that made the rules would only be the strong, and the weak could only follow the rules.
Dumbledore smiled unexpectedly, as if Brie had said something funny.
"Why be sure, I have a reason to do it whenever it is possible."
Brie suddenly thought that he might have been deceived by Dumbledore's previous image, Dumbledore's White Lord was too famous, and he had a preconceived idea that Dumbledore was a good person, but he didn't expect that he would be a gambler.
Of course, Dumbledore has nothing to lose if he loses the bet, it is someone else, or the wizarding world, who loses.
Seeing Brie's silence and reasserting his precautions against him, Dumbledore let out a dry laugh, stared straight into Brie's eyes, reached out and pressed Brie's notes, and said seriously, "Let's talk - Muggles and wizards, shall we?" ”
"Muggles and ...... Sorcerer? ”
This was something Brie had never considered, and Brie had a vague sense of unease in her heart.
Dumbledore didn't give Brie time to refuse, and said directly, "Now we are in a relatively parallel stability. ”
"But I'm not sure I'll be able to hold it all the time."
Seeing Brie's confused look, Dumbledore laughed again.
"Maybe you don't understand what I'm saying, so let's start with him, a nice fellow, Gellert Grindelwald..."
Dumbledore's eyes flashed with nostalgia, but quickly sharpened.
"He's a complex character, I've known him for a long time, I'm sure you've heard of his life, he created the Saints Order to enslave Muggles and break the ...... of the International Secrecy Act"
Brie interrupted Dumbledore's ramblings, "You defeated him one day in 1945. ”
"What do you want to say, I don't want to know about you and his lace news."
"Haha," Dumbledore said with a smile, a little helpless, "You have to observe a person from life, so that you can see him clearly and understand him...... Even, to find his weakness; Oudeh, you haven't learned this yet. ”
"In life... Looking for weaknesses? Brie smiled thoughtfully.
"The world says you have the power to see through people's hearts, and I used to think it was just about your dementors, but that doesn't seem to be the case." Brie teased in a lazy tone, making Dumbledore smile even deeper.
"I don't mind anyone's suspicion of me."
Dumbledore laughed before continuing, "Maybe I'll talk about him next time, I'm in a hurry, it's not the right time... It's not time..."
"You just need to know that Grindelwald proved his defeat..."
Dumbledore sighed, as if he was grieving for Grindelwald, but his next words had nothing to do with Grindelwald, as if they were being dragged raw.
"The British wizarding world, which has not experienced war, has become arrogant, and perhaps I am also the capital of their arrogance, but no matter what, as you can see, pure-blood wizards cannot tolerate a figure above their heads."
Dumbledore said word for word, "It doesn't matter if it's me, or it's natural magic." ”
Brie squeezed the note's hand tightly, rubbing and waiting for Dumbledore's next step, maybe that's why Dumbledore came to him today, Brie thought about it, and quickly found Dumbledore's loophole.
"But Voldemort is a pure-blood, a leader, but Voldemort only treats pure-bloods as slaves, can pure-bloods tolerate it?"
"Woooooo
There was a train whistle, the prefect's voice came out, and before I knew it, time was gone, the sunset was only half gone, and the little wizards should also change their wizard robes.
"The British wizarding world can't accommodate half Grindelwald, but it can accommodate one Voldemort."
This was Dumbledore's answer, but he also voiced his doubts.
"There's no denying that I watched out for Tom Riddle, or Voldemort's upbringing, at Hogwarts, but I was just worried that he would become an out-and-out extreme pureblood, he was so good at lying that his bloodline would become his weapon and cause trouble for the wizarding world, but I never thought he would become Voldemort."
"This is a pure-blooded push, he is like a weapon piercing into the British wizarding world that should be living smoothly, cutting open the ugly hole."
"I'm not sure if they'll still be able to control Voldemort, but I don't think they'll give up halfway."
Dumbledore's eyes were fixed on Brie.
Brie understood Dumbledore's concerns.
"Do you think I'm going to be the new Dark Lord of purebloods?"
Dumbledore laughed a little louder, and he shook his head, "I'm just worried about you stepping into the pure-blood camp. ”
"But since you released The Fundamentals of Natural Magic, I've understood that you're not on the same path as a pureblood, let alone becoming a Dark Lord, of course, maybe I knew it earlier."
"You can't fool your Patronus, it 'tells' me that you have something to protect."
"I just want to ask you today, what are you guarding?"
Brie slammed his notes shut, looked out the window at the already dark night, and muttered, "Within the rules, just order, a very stupid guardian." ”
"No, it's great." Dumbledore's blue eyes narrowed, and he slowly stood up and moved out of the way for Brie to leave the carriage.
"Please allow me to use my magic to arrange a feast at Hogwarts, or Minerva will withhold my salary for the month, Ode...... By the way, I hope that after the banquet, you can come to my office. ”
