The man behind Hogwarts

Dumbledore was unusually harsh in his words.

He declined politely at first and asked William to ignore the book "The Secret of the Curse", saying that it was all boring knowledge.

Seeing that William disagreed,

For the first time, he took out his identity as the principal and tried to suppress it with authority. Anyway, he just didn't want William to explore deeply.

But regarding Dumbledore's performance, William had made calculations before coming.

He even prepared for the worst.

Now Dumbledore only sounded a little harsher, and it was far from the worst case scenario. In response to this, William once again expressed his determination to find out the truth.

ten minutes later.

Dumbledore was finally 'impressed' by William's determination.

He grabbed William's hand and apparated away, and the two came to a secret room. William saw the ancient book he was looking for at a glance.

Dumbledore picked up the book, opened it slowly, and said with a complicated expression:

"Since you have read this book, you should know about the entanglement between gods and modern wizards..."

The secret room should be on the top floor of the tower, with a window opening to offer a panoramic view of the entire Hogwarts landscape.

Looking at the scenery outside the window,

Dumbledore reveals the secret he has been hiding in his heart for a long time.

In his words, all changes began with the war between gods and wizards in ancient times.

At that time, all spirits were ignorant and ferocious beasts were rampant.

I don’t know since when, some children showed extraordinary abilities as soon as they were born. The ignorant people worshiped them as gods. With the help of the gods, humans finally became the leader of all spirits.

The reason why he is called a god is not just because people were ignorant at that time, but there is a more important reason.

That's why the gods are really strong.

Even during the wizarding period, they were still addressed as gods.

"William, do you know what the gods represent?"

While telling the story, Dumbledore suddenly asked, pulling William out of listening.

After thinking for a while, William said: "I think there are two images of gods, one is omnipotent, and the other is abilities beyond the cognition of the same kind."

Dumbledore said: "Interesting point of view."

"Actually, no matter what form of god they are, they all have one characteristic, and that is that they are inhuman!"

"Inhuman? What do you mean?"

"Literally, as long as he is a god, he will put himself above his own kind. Even if he is originally a human being, he will gradually stop thinking that he is a human being..."

Speaking of this, Dumbledore's eyes showed a complicated look.

"Human beings in ancient times relied on the abilities of gods to achieve a better life...but as time progressed, gods gradually became the masters of all humans.

They are aloof and isolated.

They regard ordinary people as slaves, killing them at every turn, and euphemistically calling them divine punishment.

And they became like all rulers, eager to achieve great success, driving countless ordinary people to build the Kingdom of God on earth...

Until the wizard appears! "

He handed the book to William and looked out the window leisurely.

"When the wizards appeared, the gods immediately sensed their threat to their dominance, so they hunted and killed the wizards. Countless gods flew out of the kingdom of God on the earth, holding magic wands, and summoned wind, rain and thunder with just a word, killing The enemy was thousands of miles away, and at that time it could be said that the water in the river was red."

"Oh, it was also at this time that people discovered an interesting phenomenon."

"Since when do gods need to use wands to assist in casting spells?"

"You mean, with the appearance of wizards, the power of gods has become weaker?" William asked thoughtfully, which is somewhat consistent with what Evelin said.

Dumbledore nodded and smiled to himself.

No one could have imagined that a magic wand could be invented by the gods themselves.

In the end, it became a weapon to bury the gods.

He continued: "Anyway, as it develops, wizards gradually become representatives of all ordinary humans. Their slogan is not to be slaves and do not need gods.

A battle broke out between gods and wizards, which ended with the wizard's victory. "

William nodded slightly.

This answer is easy to understand. In modern times, there are only wizards but no gods. Obviously, the wizards win.

But are gods so weak?

Although the wizard's magic is mysterious, the gods sound more powerful. At first, there is no need for a wand to cast spells, it is just a matter of words.

Dumbledore laughed, "I thought the same thing at the beginning, until Grindelwald told me the answer..."

"This is all a decision made by magic!"

"It rises and falls by magic power, and it's not up to anyone!"

Before William could ask, Dumbledore coughed twice and changed the subject.

"You are old, why do you say this all of a sudden..." His face returned to its usual gentle smile, he looked at William and said softly:

“I also heard this story from someone else, so you don’t have to worry about it.

Tell me what matters most to you——

You suddenly find yourself inadvertently ignoring ordinary people. Why is this? "

Right!

why?

William showed just the right amount of curiosity. If it weren't for Dumbledore's seniority, he would have really wanted to hit him with a hammer.

Half of the people who say this are so annoying.

Dumbledore did not continue speaking, but looked at William solemnly and asked:

“What follows may be unbelievable to you, but if you insist on listening, I have only one request—it comes from my mouth and into your ears, and no third person can know it.

Can you guarantee that? "

William's expression straightened and he said solemnly: "Principal, you trust me. This is my honor. I will definitely not betray your trust."

"well!"

Dumbledore said softly: "You must know that there is a curse called the Muggle Expelling Curse... It exists in the Leaky Cauldron, it exists in Hogwarts, and it exists in all places where wizards exist.

But do you believe it? There is another magic called - Wizard Expelling Curse! "

what? !

Just after hearing this sentence, William couldn't help but exclaimed.

He originally thought that Old Deng would continue to talk about gods, ancient wizards and the like, but unexpectedly he turned around and started talking about magic.

Wizard banishing spell?

And this kind of magic, what kind of wizard would create this kind of magic to expel himself!

"Principal, stop beating around the bush and tell me!"

"Alas, young people are impatient." Dumbledore muttered twice and continued: "In the ancient war, although the wizards won, the gods were not completely destroyed at that time.

They hated the wizards very much, and they also hated the ordinary people who rebelled against them by vassaling the wizards.

They thought, since you wizard claims to represent ordinary people, then I will slap you in the face, so they created a wizard expulsion spell and planted this spell on the magic power.

Gather the power of all the gods and cast a spell directly on the magic!

This is probably the last afterglow of the age of gods! "

……

As Dumbledore sighed and stated, William finally figured out the whole story.

in short.

The gods have put a curse on magic power. Anyone who possesses magic power will inevitably be affected by the wizard's expulsion spell. The most obvious manifestation is that he likes to stay away from ordinary people and ignore the ordinary world until he becomes a new 'god'.

They want the wizard to feel the pain of the dragon slayer who will eventually become a dragon!

You say I am superior,

Then I will also hold you high!

"I see."

William sighed, the truth was finally revealed.

It is said to be a wizard expulsion spell, but in fact it is more like a psychological bewitchment, causing wizards to unconsciously regard themselves as "non-human" and isolate themselves from ordinary people.

It does not make people ignore ordinary people directly, but gradually strengthens its influence until it penetrates deep into the soul.

No wonder William found himself unconsciously ignoring the world of ordinary people. It turned out to be this.

As his strength grows stronger, his magic power becomes deeper and deeper.

The influence of wizard banishing spells is also becoming more and more obvious.

"But there's still one thing I don't understand..."

William said: "Principal, since wizards know that this wizard expulsion spell exists, why don't they try to break it... Also, what is the relationship between this book and Grindelwald? Why can't I find any related information in the library? Books from ancient gods?”

Dumbledore smiled apologetically.

“It’s not that there’s no desire to crack it, it’s just that there’s nothing you can do.

Countless wizards from ancient times to the present have tried to break this curse, but all have failed. The cursed subject of this curse is the magic itself, which is completely beyond the scope of the wizard's ability.

Perhaps only gods who are born sacred have this ability. "

"As for its relationship with Grindelwald...Oh, you really know. William, there are so many secrets about you that I don't know about..."

"I'm sorry, principal, I'm just a billion points stronger in talent."

William shrugged, "I was learning divination recently and accidentally saw it in the crystal ball. Maybe it was fate."

What a careless one!

Ghosts believe.

Dumbledore curled his lips and saw William's expression of 'It's all my fault for being too strong', which made Old Deng somewhat helpless.

But divination?

It is true that I heard that William is learning divination with Sinistra. How long has he been able to divine things about himself and Grindelwald?

It should be noted that divination is an ability that extremely tests talent.

And it was Dumbledore and Grindelwald who were the ones who divined.

The magic power of the two of them is so strong that it can automatically distort other people's divination prophecies. William has only learned it for such a short time, and he is already so strong?

"Snape is right..."

"All his contemporaries should feel sad!"

As he was thinking about it, Dumbledore suddenly had an inexplicable idea.

Is this kind of talent something a wizard can possess?

Why do I feel so innately divine...

As for the teacher who taught William divination...Dumbledore knew that Sinister was good at divination and knew that she was good at stargazing.

Originally, he wanted her to teach the divination class. After all, Professor Trelawney's divination class was not very effective. As the principal, he wanted to make a change.

But Sinister was too cautious.

She said that people who are addicted to divination will not end well. This is the experience she gained from traveling around the world.

After picking and choosing, I chose the least dangerous astronomy class.

Dumbledore had no doubt that if the History of Magic class was not occupied by Professor Binns and Sinister was embarrassed to bully the ghost, she might have chosen the History of Magic class.

Do not,

If Sinister were to teach this class.

Perhaps the history of magic can be expanded into the history of magic in the world, which she is capable of.

……

"Professor, professor?"

The voice of calling rang in his ears, and Dumbledore suddenly came back to his senses and saw William looking at him worriedly.

He smiled heartily: "As people get older, their attention is always easily distracted. I'm sorry, William, what did you just say?"

"Principal, you have to take care of yourself..."

He didn't get down to business immediately, but sincerely cared about Dumbledore's health, and finally asked:

"This book belongs to Grindelwald. Why is it here with you? Why did you put it in the library and then take it away suddenly?"

"Hmm... Let me think about it, that was a long time ago."

Dumbledore said: "Grindelwald said it was a choice and a screening method, but I never understood what he meant.

He gave me the book and asked me to help verify whether his idea was correct..."

At this point, Dumbledore's voice faltered.

"William, I've talked too much today. I can't tell you the rest. You have to find it yourself."

Dumbledore was a little confused: "But I don't want you to look for it either, alas!"

After a few final words, Dumbledore used Disapparation to bring William back to his office.

There's only one thing that's different from before.

William has an extra book in his hands.

Dumbledore simply made a copy of the book and gave it to him. It was still in his collection. It seemed that he had made up his mind not to put it in the library again.

Seeing this situation, William left quickly.

Today I took out a lot of good stuff from Lao Dengtou. The key is that my previous questions have been answered and I am satisfied.

Dumbledore leaned back in his chair.

Thinking back to what I had just said to William, I sighed heavily in my heart, and at the same time, that familiar face appeared in my mind.

"More than 40 years have passed, and your entrustment has finally been fulfilled."

"Did you expect that such a day would come?"

……

Not to mention William's harvest, Malzahar on the other side of the ocean was laughing loudly with excitement.

In a manor far away from human habitation.

Margaret heard laughter coming from the courtyard and couldn't help but look out the window.

Malzahar could be seen opening his hands and raising his head slightly. There seemed to be something cheering, hovering, and singing around him.

Margaret put her elbows on the window lattice and propped her chin up.

In her sight,

The cloudy sky seemed to have turned into a sunny day. The sun peeked out from behind the clouds, and the head turned red with shame.

The continuous rain has also changed its appearance.

The originally annoying rain turned into a pearl curtain, hanging down from the sky, just to show off the otherworldliness of the person in the courtyard, just so that I could peek at him from the window.

The heart moves at will, and the scenery arises due to emotion.

Malzahar stood in the courtyard, not paying attention to the burning gaze coming from the room.

He indulged in the pleasure of the moment.

Magic power surges through the body, thoughts come out of the body, vision rises infinitely, and finally falls back into the body at the speed of light.

He did not block the rain and let it fall on his head, soaking his hair and clothes.

at this moment,

He seemed to have merged into heaven and earth...
