The slanted sunlight filtered through the window, illuminating the slightly dark room.
Da da--
There are many ancient objects in the office.
The sound of a finger colliding with the solid wood tabletop sounded rhythmically.
The owner of the finger is none other than Dumbledore.
At this time, he was holding the cup with one hand with a frown on his face, taking a sip from time to time, while tapping the table with the other hand.
He stared blankly at the door in front of him.
Last night, the coup was accomplished resolutely and the finishing work was completed. At dawn, I rushed back after a long and dusty journey.
In the dungeon, he awakened the obsessed Tom.
But I can't let go of my experience in the dungeon for a long time.
The boy's cold expression deeply hurt his heart.
"Professor! You asked me not to come into contact with these black magics! The reason is because it is too evil and I can't control it?"
"Then what is the meaning of these black magics?"
"I just want to pursue power! Only when power is in my own hands can I feel safe!"
"I think I am too restrained and my dark magic is not powerful enough. Kerwin can easily defeat me!"
"correct!"
"Is this your purpose?! Let me become a joke and make Kerwin a model student in the eyes of all the teachers and students in the school!"
"Then spreading the word that black magic is wrong! Love is the true meaning of magic!"
"Love? Sorry, sir, I still think that conquering and forcing is the right thing to do."
...
"Okay, I promise you, I will never learn black magic again."
Tom's disdainful expression would appear in front of him as long as he closed his eyes.
Dumbledore let out a long sigh. He knew that the reason why Tom promised not to learn black magic again was because he told him that if he did not admit his mistake and make a promise, he would always be locked in the dungeon.
What went wrong with your education?
Newt and Xifa are both such excellent little wizards...
Dumbledore felt a little melancholy.
Dong dong dong——
"Please come in."
"Good morning! Professor Dumbledore."
"Good morning! Xifa."
After meeting Xifa, Dumbledore regained his confidence in teaching and educating people.
He must be not persistent enough! Tom has lacked love since he was a child, and under his own influence, he will always understand!
——————
"Yes, I have been working this semester to overturn the pure-blood family's monopoly on the magic world."
After Sifa read the Daily Prophet, he came to Dumbledore's office with a lot of confusion.
The first thing I asked was, of course, the contents of the Daily Prophet.
Originally, Xifa just wanted to ask if the Daily Prophet was trying to kill every fish and spread the final panic.
However, Professor Dumbledore not only admitted that the news was true, but also further admitted that this was what he had done.
"The war has not affected our country yet, so we don't actually need to stay on the front line every day."
"But in Hogwarts, there are many young wizards who are their spies."
"If we were away from Hogwarts every day, we would attract their attention."
"However, I left Hogwarts and secretly came to the peninsula to work in the camp."
"But I don't know why, our actions are always noticed by them."
"I didn't realize it until you told me about the Daily Prophet."
"I also used the Daily Prophet to convey some wrong information to them, and this was how the coup was completed without causing major unrest."
After saying all this in one breath, Dumbledore took a sip of the thick honey water and waved his hand lightly.
But obviously, the process of this coup cannot be smooth sailing, but for the greater good, they have no hesitation.
Since the result was good and the professor had no intention of telling him in detail, there was no need to ask.
Xifa nodded.
"By the way, the current Minister of Magic was promoted from the tea boy in the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters to Minister under my guidance."
Looking at Dumbledore who winked mischievously at him.
Xifa is a little confused in her heart, and she still says that you are not the White Devil?! The Ministry of Magic is now your authority! Professor Dumbledore!
"If I go to work at the Ministry of Magic, I will go and talk to him." Xifa replied expressionlessly.
"Hahaha! It's too humiliating for you to work for the Ministry of Magic. In fact, what I want to say is that you can install a Floo network fireplace in your home."
Xifa thought for a while and realized that it was impossible to install it in his own home. At present, it was best for the people in the orphanage not to have too much contact with the magical world. However, he could buy an unused room nearby and transform it into a Muggle home.
The stronghold in the world is quite good.
"I understand, I will apply to the Floo Network Authority in your name."
Dumbledore smiled bitterly and shook his head, but did not refuse.
After a while, he put away his smile and said to Xifa with slightly sad eyes.
"Ceph, I hope you can forgive Tom."
People always give a sweet date to a stick, but the professor is doing the opposite.
Thinking that the professor had given him so much help, Xifa decided to give Dumbledore a chance to explain.
"Tom is just controlled by power. He is actually not that bad."
Sypha gave Dumbledore a do you think I would believe it look.
"I can only say so much, please believe me!"
However, the corners of Dumbledore's mouth twitched for a moment, and finally he gave this answer.
"What good will it do me to keep him alive?"
"If he dies, you will definitely regret it!"
Dumbledore answered like this without thinking, which shocked Xifa.
"I...well, I hope you can restrain him." After the words fell, Xifa raised her arm and waved it in front of Dumbledore.
Dumbledore nodded slowly, not sure whether he agreed to Xifa or understood that the Unbreakable Oath no longer protected Tom.
"Next question, how did you break the spell cast by the portrait."
It can be seen that Xifa is very dissatisfied. Now he uses you to directly address Dumbledore.
"Thanks to you and Elise, Bernice told me what you found. I wrote and asked my friends, and it was not easy to confirm that it was true."
"That magic?"
"It's not some profound magic. I just followed the method Newt told me and released the scale powder on the wings of the strange beauty butterfly he found for me throughout the campus. It has a powerful hallucinogenic effect and is also
Use the gaze as the medium.”
“Fight fire with fire?”
"Yes, I woke them up with the song of the phoenix in the end. Of course, you can see the shortcomings. They are still in the auditorium now."
"Then Jack and Malfoy..."
"I'm sorry for Jack's death. There was nothing I could do at that time. Malfoy was sent to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Maladies. He was mentally disturbed."
