Ron's criticism does make sense.

Isn't it true that when you are invited to Hogwarts for an interview, or even to the Headmaster's office, it is natural to be filled with hope that this time you might be accepted.

If you come with hope but are ruthlessly rejected, you will feel hatred and then plunge into darkness and fall completely.

It even makes people feel as if someone is deliberately trying to destroy his heart.

But I think Dumbledore probably had no ill intentions.

He probably just thought it was a righteous choice, just differentiating between light and dark.

If one falls into darkness simply because of such setbacks, then it means that one is essentially on that side.

Maybe he meant it. No harm, that's why it's so troubling.

His actions were motivated entirely by what he believed was justice, and if the question is whether these actions constituted a crime, the answer is no.

However, is this treatment too cruel for a person who has no family and lives alone? After all, there are only a few people in the world who can always remain strong.

As Ron said, even a talented and well-behaved person can slide into the abyss because of a small opportunity.

I have had that possibility myself.

Although Charlie anticipated the worst, I didn't expect things to go that far.

Imagine if I had come back from Hogwarts in a leisurely manner and seen Percy in that state, his tattered clothes, and my hungry brothers, I would probably have killed our parents.

Even if I hadn't killed them, there would have certainly been a conflict between Charlie and me.

There is no doubt about that. To be honest, I still can't forgive all this until now, and the hatred in my heart is almost overflowing.

However, when I saw my brothers who were now happy, I could barely suppress this urge.

My uncle asked me if I wanted to see him one last time, but I wasn't sure I wouldn't do it, so I refused.

What if the four children escaped without leaving any trace and I could never find them? What if they were found dead? Or what if Percy died of weakness and his brothers suffered a mental breakdown?

I would have killed my parents and Ginny, no doubt about it.

Charlie might have stopped because of his gentle nature, but I couldn't.

I don’t have such a strong heart. This experience made me realize this deeply.

From this perspective, Charlie's heart is much stronger than mine. Even if they apologize and beg for forgiveness, I will never let them go.

Therefore, I guess Dumbledore may only accept those wizards who can always stay strong and not fall into darkness. Maybe he only recognizes those who are strong and hates those who are weak at heart.

As for my parents, they may not have any ill will towards my brothers. The same is true for Ginny. But even if they don't have any ill will, they can still drive people into desperate situations. What if my brothers ran away and were taken in by a dark wizard and received more love than their parents? If they decided to become dark wizards because of this, I would not stop them. And I might even go down the same path myself.

Even without deep malice, it is not difficult to fall into darkness. So from this perspective, the people I hate the most are people like Dumbledore. In comparison, those obvious villains are easier to accept. He talks about love all the time, but in fact, he is the one who lacks love the most.

As I was thinking about this, Ron continued:

"However, Mr. Tom is also confusing. On the one hand, he really wants to be a teacher, but on the other hand, he is an extreme pure-blood believer. So, it becomes confusing which side is his true heart."

"Indeed, you are right."

"Maybe he always thinks that if he were a pureblood, he wouldn't have to go through these hardships."

"He probably thinks all the pain is due to the Muggle blood running through his veins."

Indeed, it makes sense. If he had a suitable guide at that time, he might not have gone astray.
