Wizards of Hogwarts

Ding Dong

On a calm morning, the crisp doorbell rang.

Newt, who was resting, glanced at Elrohir sitting on the sofa in the living room and took a deep breath.

Then, he walked to the door and welcomed Dumbledore, who was standing outside the door, into the house.

Elrohir also stood up from the sofa, looking calmly at Albus Dumbledore, the unwelcome visitor, the middle-aged bald man. At the same time, the information Newt said last night emerged in his mind. .

Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, the most intelligent student ever since the founding of Hogwarts. He has almost won all the honors that can be obtained at the school; still studying at the school During this period, I was able to contact many famous magic masters at that time, and maintained frequent correspondence with them, and communicated with each other; after the third grade, I was able to publish my own papers in several professional academic journals alone, and was even transformed by the people of that time. Selected as the "Most Promising Newcomer" by Art Magazine, he is still the content review editor of Transfiguration Today; he is currently the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Due to his outstanding teaching quality and personality charm, he is deeply loved by students. Almost certain to be the next Head of Gryffindor House

In general, Dumbledore is proficient in magic, possesses extraordinary wisdom and superb charm.

In addition, Elrohir also knew that in addition to Transfiguration and Defense Against the Dark Arts, Dumbledore also had profound attainments in Occlumency and Legilimency. For those wizards who were not good at this, Said that Dumbledore could see through their thoughts and understand their thoughts at any time.

Elrohir had almost tricked him before, but Dumbledore saw through his mind.

In addition, comparing Gellert Grindelwald's strength horizontally, Dumbledore should also have very superb dueling skills and be proficient in wandless magic and silent magic.

In other words, if Dumbledore wanted to, he could be like Grindelwald and defeat the British Ministry of Magic by himself. There is no essential difference in strength between the Aurors of the Magical Congress of the United States and the Aurors of the British Ministry of Magic. huge difference.

And most importantly, Dumbledore also has a strong teaching ability and is deeply respected by the students of Hogwarts. This influence began when Dumbledore first became a professor at the school and continues to this day. It has been at least more than ten years, and it has almost imperceptibly influenced an entire generation.

The importance of this was not lost on Elrohir.

Grindelwald is currently recruiting troops on the European continent. With his extraordinary strength and the huge reputation he has made in the past, he has successfully attracted a large number of wizards to join him.

But what if it were Dumbledore?

Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts, a position with considerable power.

Dumbledore could easily use his identity to exert a huge influence among young wizards, and he could easily recruit a large number of young reserves.And the most important thing is that Dumbledore deeply understands the strength of each of them and allows them to accurately find their own position. After all, he is the one who teaches them magic.

In addition to Hogwarts, Dumbledore also has a very resounding reputation in the British wizarding community, and is regarded by a large number of wizards as the only candidate to fight against Grindelwald.

The Dark Lord Grindelwald also had to run around the world recruiting troops.

Dumbledore only needed to wave his arms to easily raise a team in the UK and directly compete with Grindelwald across the strait.

Fortunately, Dumbledore seems to have a very good reputation in the British wizarding community. He is kind and knowledgeable. He is one of the few wizards who is close to Muggles. He is regarded as a good wizard with "Merlin style" and has never shown any signs of it. The idea of ​​building power.

But Elrohir has never been afraid to speculate the worst malice on others. After all, even the powerful white-robed wizard Saruman fell into the colorful robe under the temptation of the devil Sauron.

White wizard Dumbledore

In Elrohir's view, if Dumbledore's self-control is insufficient, he may degenerate into the "White Devil Dumbledore" at any time.

Speaking of which, isn't Grindelwald now also known as the "Dark Lord"? It seems quite fitting.

Speaking of the relationship between Newt and Dumbledore, it is actually not complicated.

In 1913, one of Leta Lestrange's magic experiments related to the Marten threatened the life of another student. Newt did not want to see his friend expelled from the school, so he voluntarily took the blame for Leta and left. Hogwarts.Dumbledore strongly opposed the school's decision at the time, but Newt was still forcibly expelled. However, Dumbledore's efforts allowed Newt to avoid the punishment of "breaking his wand."

Newt was grateful for this.

In the European wizarding world, apart from the death penalty, there is no other punishment more terrible than "breaking the wand".

In a sense, breaking a wand denies a person's wizarding status and forces him or her to be unable to perform magic for the rest of his or her life.

Most wizards in the UK need a wand to perform magic. If someone breaks the wand, he is no different from an ordinary Muggle.

Breaking a wand turns a wizard into a Muggle.

For Newt, who loves magical animals very much, this is completely unacceptable. Losing the wand is almost like saying goodbye to those lovely magical animals.

It was also from that time that Newt, who was shy and introverted, really gradually accepted the kindness offered by Dumbledore, and over the past ten years, he had established a relatively deep emotional relationship with Dumbledore.

According to Newt, it is a very pure friendship, not the "ggad" relationship that Elrohir had in mind.

Well, after some analysis by Elrohir, Newt also thought that there seemed to be some interest between Grindelwald and Dumbledore. After all, the original sentence "What caused Albus Dumbledore to... I like you so much," and the line "Are we going to die, even a little bit," sound weird.

Especially the latter. At that time, Newt felt that Grindelwald's words seemed to be addressed to another person, but he did not expect that he was speaking to Dumbledore.

You hide it so deeply, Dumbledore.

Newt looked at Dumbledore's tall back with an inexplicable look in his eyes. You old man has hidden so much from me.

Back then, I called Xiao Tiantian, but I didn’t expect that you, a shameless old man, would already have a wife.

Well, married

Cough

"Good morning, Mr. Dumbledore, nice to meet you." Elrohir held out her hand with an indifferent expression, while her mind was running Occlumency at full speed to prevent her active thoughts from leaking out.

Dumbledore put the book under his arm on the coffee table, then took Elrohir's right hand and shook it: "Good morning, Mr. Elrohir."

Elrohir pretended to glance at the coffee table casually, but her pupils shrank instantly. The book Dumbledore brought was actually
