After arriving at Hogwarts, Weston hurriedly said hello to Dumbledore and went to the library, not even attending the opening party. He couldn't wait to find out what was going on with China in this world.
Weston, who left in a hurry, naturally did not notice Penello's resentful eyes.
Did I make things difficult for him, or was his fiancée not letting him see me? Penello bit her red lips lightly, watching Weston's figure leaving in a hurry, with a flash of sadness in her eyes.
Holding the note approved by Dumbledore, Weston ignored Mrs. Pince's gaze as if to guard against thieves, and rushed directly into the forbidden book area.
Weston naturally knew that the few history books outside the restricted area were like "History of Magic". Most of them talked about the history and development of magic in Britain, with at most some legends from other countries, and the rest.
Not at all.
However, Weston didn't hold out much hope. For some reason, countries in this world keep their own history very tightly covered, especially in the magical world. Just like Weston in France, there is almost no sight of Britain.
history books.
Maybe, this is because he is afraid of cultural invasion? Weston thought a little off-line.
The restricted area of Hogwarts is not filled with dark magic books as rumored outside. Of course, there will definitely be dark magic, but not all.
In fact, the restricted book areas in Hogwarts are also diverse, but compared to the ordinary book areas, the contents of the books in the restricted book areas are much more advanced. If a young wizard's mind is not firm, he will be affected.
Just like building a house, if the foundation is not laid well, the toilet will collapse. The same is true for wizards. It is not that advanced education is not available, after all, it is still a minority.
After all, happy education is the foundation of British educational philosophy. Even in an unscientific place like Hogwarts, the education method is so "scientific"!
As for why, no one could tell, and Weston didn't bother to think about it.
After searching around, he found no information. Weston was a little disappointed, but he did not give up. Although the library on the fourth floor is the largest library in Hogwarts, it is not the whole library after all. It is impossible to say which professor is there.
There is.
After searching several times without finding it, Weston had no choice but to leave. He did not return to his den, but went directly to the principal's office - he promised to give Dumbledore an explanation.
"Good evening, Weston!" Dumbledore said hello with a smile after seeing Weston.
"Good evening, Professor!" Weston nodded.
"It seems that you are not happy. Have you encountered any difficulties?" Dumbledore saw that Weston was a little worried and asked.
Weston nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "Professor, do you know China?"
"China?" Dumbledore glanced at Weston in surprise and nodded slowly, "I know something about it, what's the matter?"
Weston was overjoyed when he heard this and couldn't wait to ask: "Can you tell me about it?"
"Of course!" Dumbledore nodded and raised his eyebrows, "But before that, do you want to tell me why you suddenly want to know this?"
Why do you want to know? Weston was stunned.
After a long time, he slowly uttered: "Maybe it's because of the throbbing in his soul!"
When Dumbledore heard this, his eyes sharpened suddenly, and then quickly turned calm again: "Is it because you study soul magic?"
What and what, this is it! Weston was a little dumbfounded. He had forgotten that Dumbledore was quite sensitive to soul magic! If he had noticed this, he might not have said this.
"What are you thinking, professor!" Weston couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "Why should I study that thing?"
Dumbledore took a deep look at Weston, and then said calmly: "I have nothing else. It's your freedom to study whatever you want! However, I hope you won't do anything extraordinary!"
"Child, I have already made a mistake once, and I cannot allow myself to make a mistake a second time!" As he said this, Dumbledore's tone contained a hint of exhaustion, a hint of sadness, and a hint of regret.
Weston was silent.
"You know, Weston! When I first saw you, I thought you looked so much like him!" Dumbledore said nostalgically, "You are both so outstanding, so talented.
clever....."
Weston listened quietly without interrupting.
"I asked myself more than once, if I had not treated that child with that attitude, but treated him like my own family, or even treated him the same as other students, would the outcome have been different?"
When Dumbledore said this, a trace of tears flashed in his eyes, and some regret reflected in his pupils.
"So you're treating me in a different way?" Weston asked.
"No, no, no, that's not the case!" Dumbledore shook his head, "You are you, Weston! You are no one's replacement, you are already good enough!"
"Although you are all pursuing magic, I can see that you are pursuing the path of magic, and he is just pursuing the path of magic!"
"That's the biggest difference between you two!"
Weston looked at Dumbledore, and then suddenly smiled: "Not only that, if I want to do something, you can't stop me, right?"
"You're right!" Dumbledore sighed helplessly: "Maybe you don't need to pursue power!"
"I know what it's like to have uncontrollable power!" Weston said lightly, "Believe me, Professor! I don't want to experience it again. I'd rather not have that kind of power!"
"I'm still afraid of death!"
This part of the conversation ended here. Weston naturally knew that Dumbledore was satisfied with his words, but would not completely believe him.
It can be said that Dumbledore only completely trusted one person in his life, and that was Grindelwald. He never completely trusted anyone else!
However, Weston has a clear conscience and the strength to protect himself, so he doesn't care about these details.
"By the way, what are you asking me? My child, please forgive me, you can't compare an old man with young people like you!" Dumbledore suddenly slapped his forehead, as if he had just come to his senses.
Weston glanced at him and pointed at Dumbledore's hair expressionlessly, a little light flashing on his fingertips.
Is this the Restoration Curse? Dumbledore was taken aback, and hurriedly waved his wand, and a magic barrier blocked Weston's magic.
"Your black hair is showing!" Weston waved his hand, and the piece of parchment in front of him turned into a mirror.
Dumbledore smiled and nodded: "Thank you, Weston! I didn't even notice it if you didn't say it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his hair turned completely white.
Shameless old thief! Weston gave him a look of contempt.
"By the way, you are asking me about China!" Dumbledore said as if nothing had happened, "Let me think about it..."
