The next day was the weekend, and the weather was rarely good. Ryan got up early, jogged with Hermione, and said goodbye to her after breakfast. Then he walked in the corridor and walked towards the door of the principal's office under the bright golden sunlight that shone in from the window.
Go.
After arriving at the door and reading out the command to open the door to the monster, and scolding Dumbledore for his taste in candy, Ryan walked up the spiral staircase and arrived at the door of Dumbledore's office with a brass door knocker.
After knocking the knocker politely, the door opened automatically. Ryan saw Professor Dumbledore sitting on the chair behind his big table with his fingers crossed and thinking about something.
After seeing Ryan outside the door, he smiled at Ryan and stretched out his hand to make an invitation gesture, gesturing for Ryan to sit down on the chair in front of him.
"Good morning, Professor Dumbledore." After sitting on the chair, Ryan bowed slightly and greeted Professor Dumbledore.
"Ah, good morning, Ryan, what would you like to drink now?" Dumbledore asked with a smile, then stretched out his wand and lit the table while changing drinks. "Black tea, pumpkin juice, or a little lemon.
water?"
"Hot black tea." As soon as Ryan finished speaking, two cups of steaming black tea appeared in front of the two people. After taking the cups and sitting down, Ryan looked at Principal Dumbledore and asked. "Excuse me, did you come to see me this morning?
What's the matter here?"
"Of course, of course I have something I need to talk to you about. Here's how it goes." Dumbledore said in a slow voice unique to an old man: "I noticed that you gave your classmates a speech at your little party yesterday.
It seems that I am teaching some magic that is not suitable to be handed over to them right now, so I thought I should remind you of this today."
"But the magic I teach you is definitely not black magic." Ryan said categorically. "I remember that in Hogwarts we only forbid everyone to learn those dangerous black magics, but there is no saying that everyone is not allowed to learn this type of magic.
"
"Yes, that's the case." Dumbledore said slowly. "The magic you teach us is indeed not black magic, but these magics are very powerful and can cause various problems to learners or others. For example,
I think if you take risks to learn those spells that are too dangerous, someone could easily get hurt."
"You are right about one thing. These magics are indeed very lethal, and it is impossible to ensure 100% safety during learning." Ryan nodded seriously as he stared into Dumbledore's blue eyes. "But in addition,
I'm afraid you are wrong, I think these magics are what everyone should learn now."
Seeing Dumbledore put his elbows on the table and pretending to listen carefully, Ryan also sat up straight and said. "I know, you always thought that the war with the mysterious man and his group was just about you and the brave few.
The mission of volunteers is to hope that the war will not involve those innocent people. This is equivalent to you putting all the pressure on your own shoulders."
"Your praise makes me feel a little blushing. I am not as great as you said. The reason why I fought against Voldemort was just to make up for the mistakes I made when I was young." After hearing Ryan's praise, Dumbledore shook his head with a wry smile.
Shake his head.
"But no matter what, you are still standing at the forefront of the battle against the mysterious man. I respect you very much for this." Ryan said, "But there is one thing you may have overlooked, that is, the current situation is no longer just Phoenix.
The few people from the Society and the Ministry of Magic can solve it."
Having said this, Ryan paused and continued. "Now the mysterious man's attack on the wizarding world has evolved into a full-scale war. Even the Muggle world outside is facing their random and indiscriminate attacks, and serious problems have emerged.
casualties. One thing that needs to be explained is that due to family background, the members of my interest group are all priority targets of the mysterious man and his Death Eaters. So I think it is very necessary to teach them some combat skills.
."
"You should believe that we and the Ministry of Magic can provide adequate protection, especially in our school, which should be absolutely safe." Dumbledore said after thinking for a while.
"I'm sorry, it's hard for me to believe this." Ryan looked at Dumbledore and said helplessly. "Just the previous murders caused by Death Eaters are enough to illustrate the problem. Everyone hopes to truly learn to fight, so that even if they really encounter
When it comes to Death Eaters, we don’t just sit back and wait to die. For example, Neville said that compared to waiting to die, he would rather die gloriously like a soldier in battle."
"Neville Longbottom?" Professor Dumbledore sighed after hearing the name, and then remained silent for more than ten seconds: "We were careless after Voldemort disappeared. This was our mistake. I owe Longbottom
Lots of stuff from the Barton family.”
"When people get old, they always think about the past." Dumbledore soon came out of his memories and said to Ryan in a consulting tone, "I think Voldemort has indeed brought evil to everyone now.
It is dangerous. I also hope that every teacher and student will always be vigilant and not take it lightly. In this case, there is nothing wrong with you wanting to learn self-defense, but why not learn a disarming spell or a stun spell like last year, which is safer?
Where’s the magic?”
After listening to Dumbledore's words, Ryan found that the differences between him and him were not as big as imagined. This was just a simple concern of the principal for his students, just like many principals of primary and secondary schools.
Just like canceling spring or autumn outings when something happened to a student. It was not because Dumbledore needed to take control of the situation, as it seemed in some places in his previous life, so he would take action to suppress all uncertainties.
But think about it, a person who can win the praise of most people in the wizarding world must not be the kind of guy who is self-centered. Except for people like Harry who are key to the final victory and will pay full attention to it, Dumbledore
For most people, including Ryan, it is actually a semi-laissez-faire state. There is no need to worry about being specifically targeted by Dumbledore.
For example, now, after finishing the party, a note was sent to my hand immediately. This means that the principal has a very high degree of control over the school, and as an experienced centenarian, Dumbledore should also have seen what the book club is about.
What to do. However, his attitude towards the reading club has always been laissez-faire, and he only intervened when this time it might really cause serious harm. But even so, the principal still used gentle communication methods to solve the problem.
Since he was not directly targeted, it means that Professor Dumbledore can be persuaded. Thinking of this, Ryan seemed much more energetic. "Professor Dumbledore, I don't want to put my classmates in danger. But it is more dangerous outside now."
, the Death Eaters will definitely not let us go just because we are students or minors."
"But even if you learn these magics, you will not be the opponent of those cruel Death Eaters. In this case, it is not worth taking the risk to learn these dangerous magics." Dumbledore crossed his fingers.
chest, leaning forward slightly and said.
"But after learning these magics, at least we can have a fighting chance, and maybe there is a chance to escape. But if we don't master these more powerful magics, we can only sit and wait for death."
Seeing Professor Dumbledore lost in thought, Ryan quickly struck while the iron was hot and continued. "We don't have much ambition, and we don't want to hurt others. The only purpose of learning these magics is to survive in this war."
"Yes, live on." Professor Dumbledore sighed. "I have seen too many deaths in my life, and I don't want to see innocent people lose their lives again."
Ryan knew that this should be the principal's true words. The reason why Dumbledore fought so hard with Voldemort for the rest of his life, and even risked his own life in the original text. A large part of the reason was because of his actions when he was young, which led to the death of his sister.
He also learned a lot from that mistake, including that the person who controls the power must take responsibility, otherwise it will only bring disaster. The reason why he talked to Ryan today was because he was worried that Ryan would be manipulated by the power.
Fortunately, the result of the conversation made him greatly relieved.
"I think I can allow you to continue learning these magics in order to allow more innocent people to survive." Professor Dumbledore thought for a moment and said. "But you'd better ensure safety, otherwise I will just
I can withdraw my permission. Well, today is the weekend, I wish you a happy weekend."
"Thank you Professor, I will definitely put everyone's safety first, please don't worry." Ryan stood up and bowed seriously to Dumbledore, and then left the principal's office.
"This is not like you." Just after Ryan left, the portrait of Phineas on the wall said.
Dumbledore ignored him, but looked at where Ryan left and murmured to himself. "I may be really old, so this time I just hope that I will have enough strength to survive before the young people completely grow up."
