The Headmaster's office at Hogwarts is different from what it used to be.

Compared to the place's previous owner, Armando Dippert's more traditional, or rather rather old-fashioned, style, the new principal's office has too many things that Ranko likes.

For example, there is a meditation basin, such as the books hidden here, and those portraits that contain the thoughts and memories of some of the former principals.

As for the phoenix Fox who only saw Ranko's love to answer, and Ranko, who also raised a phoenix, just wanted to test whether the flames generated by black magic could really burn the phoenix that was reborn from the fire under extreme conditions.

"Do you want some cockroach piles? Although the other professors didn't like it very much, I thought the candy always tasted good. ”

Looking at the shape of a bunch of candies that obviously belonged to the species of American cockroach, he was deeply affected by it for a long time, and silently pressed down his wand, which he was eager to try, and he was afraid that he couldn't help but throw a spell to blow up the cockroach in the next second.

"What's new in Duke Honey's candy shop? I'm sorry, Professor Dumbledore, it's still teething time and can't eat too much candy. ”

Jokes, his visceral tremor at the creature, especially when crawling and then suddenly disappearing.

"Indeed, it's a pity, Mr. Malfoy, maybe you can take some, you know, the quality of the candy from Duke Honey's confectionery has always been very good."

Dumbledore sighed as if he hadn't understood what was being said.

Ranko turned his head, suddenly not wanting to talk about it anymore.

The two of them talked about a few other things, mostly Dumbledore's temptation of Ranko, who knew that the wizard was a master of dementorship, so he was always on guard.

"Occlumency is very useful, but what should be closed doesn't need to be that complicated."

Having studied Dementorship for a while, and having consulted Professor Albus Dumbledore at the time, he naturally knew a lot about this kind of magic.

He has even developed a lot of tricks to prevent dementoring.

For example, if you only hide your deep thoughts, you can only think about the problems of chatting with the other person, and then think of something else to confuse the power of magic.

This will be much, much easier than going through Occlumency.

It's just that he doesn't have the kind heart to think about something positive, thinking that those things are not something that Malfoy should do.

When I read a lot of pictures with some colors and the protagonist was unusually familiar, the greatest wizard of the century rubbed his eyebrows helplessly.

Looking at Mr. Malfoy, who was laughing in horror, Professor Dumbledore blinked and stopped the magic he was using subconsciously:

"Mr. Malfoy, it looks like your life has been back on track lately."

There was no longer that sense of voyeurism, and Ranko, who was sure that the Regent was over, removed the picture in his mind:

"Yes, Professor Dumbledore."

The door to the Headmaster's office was pushed open from the outside, and looking at Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape as they walked in, Ranko got up, ended his mindless conversation with the greatest wizard of the century, and said to the professors:

"A few professors."

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, and a standard Malfoy-like smile (which was actually just a smile) appeared on his face:

"I think I'm a little impatient to study a curse from a terrible wizard."

The reason why Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape came so late was not because their legs and feet were no match for the old man and the child who didn't have the same hair.

Before arriving at the headmaster's office, they went to the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom on the second floor of the castle to make some arrangements beforehand.

"Of course."

Dumbledore stood up, "This question has been bothering us for years, Mr. Malfoy, and this is one of the main reasons I invited you. ”

The secondary reason is to know what the hell I am, right?

The corners of Ranko's mouth moved slightly, and his heart automatically filled in with Dumbledore's unfinished words.

He was not surprised that Dumbledore carried out a series of explorations such as dementoring him, after all, he was the one who led poor Tom into the wonderful world of dark arts.

He was even involved in the study of Horcruxes.

It's not surprising that it's so guarded.

Professor McGonagall stopped talking, and after glancing at Dumbledore's blue eyes, which seemed to be full of countless emotions, she nodded slightly.

"Mr. Malfoy."

She bowed her head to the former student, "Follow me." ”

"Yes, Professor McGonagall."

Good students are never afraid of the scrutiny of older directors. Mr. Malfoy smiled.

The few of them didn't speak all the way, and Professor Snape kept a straight face, and it seemed that he couldn't read the complicated feelings of the Potions professor.

Professor McGonagall and Professor Dumbledore walked first, Ranko followed, nostalgic for the old days and anticipating what Professor Dumbledore had promised in his letter.

"Oh, Tom, don't let me down."

The Defence Against the Dark Arts professor is Quirinus Quirrell, who is not currently in the school.

Mr. Malfoy, who didn't see his apprentice without a nose, was a little sorry.

In the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom, the tables, chairs and benches had long since been moved aside and stacked neatly, leaving a large open space.

In the empty and quiet classroom, the four of them stood separately at this time, and Ranko first looked at the layout of the classroom, and then asked Professor Dumbledore:

"When did you find out about the Defence Against the Dark Arts curse?"

The curse from Voldemort was one of the purposes of his visit.

Professor Dumbledore also promised that as long as he could contain it, he would make an exception to enter the Hogwarts library and take a book he liked, even if it could not be completely resolved.

And Hogwarts Library, that's the main reason he's back here.

"It was about thirty years ago, ever since we found out that the Defence Against the Dark Arts professors always had this or that problem."

This time Professor McGonagall answered:

"Mr. Malfoy, can you discern anything?"

Ranko Malfoy, an expert wizard of the Dark Arts Curse.

Professor McGonagall thought to herself.

This is the fame that sounded after he left Hogwarts.

Of course, the reason for this probably belongs to the wizards he had treated at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries who had been traumatized by extreme black magic.

The use of dark magic in healing may be one of the reasons why Professor Dumbledore never stopped it, even though he knew what Ranko was secretly studying.

"Only by understanding can we know how to deal with it, and unwarranted prohibitions will only increase danger and fear."

That's why Defence Against the Dark Arts class was held.

Learn about black magic in order to defeat it.
