Chapter 184: The Only Appeal

Dumbledore's tone was nice to say respectful of the opinions of the students (children), but in slightly unkind words, his attitude clearly revealed humility.

That state of caution is like that of a child who has done something wrong.

Although it may seem a bit too much to say this, Connor really can't think of any more appropriate description at this time.

It's just that this is also inevitable.

The older a person gets, the more likely he is to be soft-hearted about something.

Although they have the wisdom to see through the world, and their will should be extremely strong, they will eventually be shaken by what they cherish.

And Albus Dumbledore's most important thing is 'family'.

Although he never mentioned it on the surface, Connor could see him every time he thought of the black 'candy' that his brother had given him.

Savor it carefully but don't dare to eat too much.

Every time I saw him, he was eating, and every time he only ate a little bit.

At the same time, his guidance and education for Harry was full of the care of the elders, and he also wanted the children to value the things he cherished.

Friends, family.

However, this is the kind of person who adhered to his bottom line, but allowed another tragedy to happen.

Maybe something else happened in the middle of it, but in fact, his laissez-faire approach to his bottom line landed Sirius in Azkaban, and the girl who was supposed to enjoy the love of family had to take on the responsibility that shouldn't have been.

What was her childhood like?

Why doesn't her face have features that belong to her parents?

In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will find that there are a lot of doubts, but these doubts are not worth mentioning with the seemingly resolute but actually distressing state she shows.

Dumbledore was a powerhouse who could represent an era.

Usually he doesn't notice, but once he pays attention, how can he not see Isobel's superficial state?

It is a kind of intellect that seems to be above everything, the result of cutting out emotions.

Absolute sanity creates a state of mind free of distractions that can carry out one's own will, and the emotions that are cut out can be used as an excellent 'power source' to greatly enhance the effect of the spell.

With a slight shake of the wand, a red light fell directly on the sturdy golem.

It was motionless and unable to move at will, and began to dance.

Tap-dancing, it walked through most of the room until it reached the spot designated by Professor Flitwick before stopping.

To all the students, the enchanted puppet bowed like a real dancer.

Seeing this, Professor Flitwick applauded:

"It's very beautiful, and it's a very deep silent spell."

Speaking of this, Flitwick couldn't help but sigh a little.

"You're as good as ever, Miss McDoug, Ravenclaw plus 15 points, 10 of which are for your skillful silent spell casting."

Professor Flitwick still has to be faced, after all.

Perhaps at first, Izebel would have been ecstatic when he showed a talent for spellcasting and magic that far surpassed his peers.

But when this kind of thing gradually became common sense, the professor who had calmed down again had no way to use this daughter as a scoring machine for his own college.

While the frequency of adding points decreased, he also habitually broke down the content of the scores, trying to explain them all.

However, students don't really care much about that.

The excellence shown by Isobel has almost been imprinted in their hearts, and this kind of thing has become accustomed to them.

In this way, the end of the class was smooth sailing, and Professor Flitwick's lesson today was a complete success.

As always, Isobel was still alone packing up his books.

With a random wave of his wand, levitating the book with a levitation charm and making it follow him, Isobel walked out of the Charms classroom.

She was always the first to leave the classroom, and this habit now provides some convenience for some people who want to find her.

"Isobel."

As she reached the top of the stairs, she heard a voice that was familiar to her.

"Connor."

Her expression relaxed slightly, but before she could see the boy's face, her expression stiffened.

There was clearly another figure standing behind the young man.

The smiling old headmaster in a loose purple robe.

"Albus Dumbledore."

There was no honorific title, she subconsciously called him by his first name.

It's just that Dumbledore wasn't one to care about this kind of regular etiquette.

"We don't seem to have been able to have a proper conversation, kid."

"I don't think there's anything to talk about between us."

Isobel was quick to respond, her eyes not even lingering on the old headmaster's side, and quickly moving back to Connor.

Vaguely, there was a hint of dissatisfaction.

"This day will come, Isobel, and even if it's for the sake of the future, you should talk about it, or at least understand what you should do in the future."

This is not even Connor's own subjective thoughts.

As the school year wore on, the school year was coming to an end, and if you didn't want to delay the second year, the best way to deal with it was to schedule the retrial at the Ministry of Magic for the summer vacation.

Even, it has to be done in its entirety during the summer vacation.

In this case, some internal coordination must be done now.

And, of course, the more important reason is actually another:

"You know, Isobel, there are some things that I can't decide."

After all, this responsibility cannot be borne by Connor as an outsider, and he cannot afford it.

"You can express your thoughts, whatever you want to do, just talk to this old man."

Connor's attitude didn't look very respectful either.

Obviously, when talking to Dumbledore one-on-one, he will at least maintain his honorific title, but now, it really makes him look like some random old man on the side of the road.

This made Dumbledore himself feel helpless.

But fortunately, things are going in a smooth direction after all.

Although Isobel has resentment, she also understands what is important at the moment.

Although she didn't really want to communicate with Dumbledore, since someone was pushing from behind, it didn't hurt to go on.

In this way, the three of them soon arrived in the principal's office.

But Connor stayed at the door:

"I'll just stay at the door, I don't want to get involved in these things."

Looking at Isobel, Connor said with a smile.

"So it doesn't matter what I think."

At the same time, these words actually convey another meaning.

Fully aware of this, Isobel raised an eyebrow:

"Okay, then you're welcome."

Even though he said that, Isobel didn't really lose his temper in the headmaster's room regardless of it.

After all, she only has that one appeal:

"I want Peter Pettigrew to pay for his actions."

After entering the principal's room, she said unceremoniously.

"I don't care about anything else."
