Wind and Eagle Wings at Hogwarts

Chapter 312 312. The Education of the Old Principal
On one wall of the headmaster's office, several rows of portraits of former Hogwarts headmasters hung neatly.

From the corner of Scott's eyes, all the former principals in the portraits were dozing off at this moment, and it seemed that no one was listening to his conversation with Dumbledore.

But Scott is sure that, in fact, the former headmasters in these portraits must be listening.

Medea once revealed that she knew that Scott had used arithmetic divination to calculate Voldemort's Horcrux, which showed that she had a way to learn some of the conversations in the Hogwarts principal's office.

At the beginning, Scott couldn't help but have an object of suspicion - Phineas Black, the most unpopular headmaster in the history of Hogwarts school.

But this is just speculation.

Scott wasn't sure exactly how Medea knew about the information from the principal's office, other than to say that one of these portraits had the greatest chance of leaking information.

It would also be good for Scott if there was a portrait that could convey to Medea the news that Voldemort had regained some of his powers.

Medea should be reluctant to see Voldemort fully restored to power.

Once Voldemort fully recovers, with his strength, Medea may not be able to get his soul.

After all, without sacrificing Voldemort's soul, Medea cannot be fully recovered, so she will be inferior to the fully recovered Voldemort in terms of strength.

It happened that Scott needed Medea to get busy, and once that lady got busy, she couldn't take care of him, an underage wizard who hadn't grown up yet.

At this time, Dumbledore said to Scott again: "Ms. Slytherin, this lady's activity may not be a good thing for the wizarding world, what do you think?"

Scott nodded.

Although Medea is more measured than his descendants, in the final analysis, she is also unscrupulously destabilizing the magic world.

"Those Thestrals..." Scott suddenly remembered those stolen Thestrals, so he asked Dumbledore curiously, "Didn't you try to get them back?"

"I'm also struggling with how to get the carriage moving when next term starts." Dumbledore sighed, "Unfortunately, I'm too old."

"..."

Scott kept quiet about it.

He felt that the old headmaster was playing tricks. He was always really old. After all, he was over 100 years old, but he was not too old to swing a magic wand.

Dumbledore managed to muddle the question and started asking Scott another question.

He smiled at Scott, "What did you mean just now, even if Voldemort regains his strength, he will be busy fighting Medea first?"

"I think so." Scott said, "Medea needs Voldemort's soul to restore power, and Voldemort needs to get rid of Medea's threat. This is the most important thing for them."

"I didn't expect Tom... I mean Voldemort will face such a threat one day, I'm sure he can't stand this." Dumbledore seemed to agree with Scott.

But Scott doesn't think so.

Sure enough, the old headmaster followed suit and changed the subject, "Perhaps...letting these two people fight each other, it's best to let them both lose, and finally come forward as the righteous side to clean up the mess. This is indeed the smartest way..."

However, Scott murmured the word in his mind.

Dumbledore continued: "But we can't do that, do you know why?"

Scott was silent.

Because we're not the Ministry of Magic?He muttered inwardly.

"You know, Scott." Dumbledore said patiently again.

Of course Scott knew what he was trying to say.

If those two were allowed to fight, the entire British wizarding world would be in complete chaos. Not to mention the social unrest, it is unknown how many innocent people would be involved.

But Scott still didn't understand why Dumbledore was discussing this with him.

After all, he is not a person like Dumbledore who cares about the world.

At this time, Dumbledore continued to look at Scott, and Scott continued to remain silent.

Scott knew what kind of person he was, and he was not a good person anyway, and he believed that Dumbledore could also see some of his essence.

Therefore, he could only keep silent about Dumbledore's words.

Is he going to hypocritically say that he has been taught, that he will change himself from now on and become a kind and brave person?
There is no need to show this kind of lie out of embarrassment.

Not to mention that he is not so hypocritical, even if he shouted slogans, Dumbledore would not believe it.

"Can't figure out why I'm telling you this?" Dumbledore asked again.

Scott nodded, he was indeed a little confused.

He is not a "savior".

Dumbledore laughed again, and the atmosphere between the two became lighter again.

"I've been in this school for many years." Dumbledore thought for a while, and then put on an old-fashioned look, "...Oh, I don't know exactly how many years."

Scott looked up at him, wondering what the old headmaster was trying to say to himself by singing and beating.

"For many years, that is to say, I have seen countless students walk out of this castle."

Dumbledore smiled and looked up out the window.

"Most of the students just became ordinary wizards in the magic world, and lived an ordinary life. Of course, that's fine..."

He seemed to be stuck in a long memory.

"It's just that there are some special students. Some of them became the Minister of Magic, some became animal experts, some became heroes, and some became the Dark Lord."

At this time, he looked at Scott again, "In my opinion, you are also a special student, Scott, because everyone can see that you have such a talent."

"Thank you, Professor, but I'm not going to be a hero, and I'm not going to be the Dark Lord," Scott said.

Dumbledore nodded with a smile, "Maybe you'll be a scholar? Or a professor?"

Scott just smiled, he hasn't made any career plans yet.

"It doesn't really matter what you become. Of course, I'm sure you won't become the Dark Lord." Dumbledore said, "I just told you about those things about Voldemort and Ms. Slytherin, not for you to deal with them , after all, you are still a student."

Having said that, he took a sip of tea before continuing: "I noticed that you helped Neville Longbottom and Jacob Kent make changes, which is very good."

He gave Scott an appreciative look.

"I have to say that sometimes the whimsy of a young man like you can inspire an old man like me."

"That's nothing," Scott said, "just some cleverness."

He really thought it was no big deal.

"But what makes me a little regretful is that you have always refused to change yourself." Dumbledore said earnestly again, "Many times, the smartest choice is not the best choice. I hope you can understand this."

Scott opened his mouth when he heard the words, but nothing came out.

At this time, Dumbledore laughed again, and he winked at Scott, "I always thought that stubbornness was something that old people like me have."
