Hogwarts: What are the four great masters doing?

"Oh, Ryan."

"As you can see, I'm not a perfect person who can plan everything out - the world overestimates my abilities."

He said, "I really haven't noticed anything unusual about Mr. Weasley, and Harry's fate may indeed change."

He did not deny his mistake.

"But you're wrong—I didn't implement this plan out of confidence in my own wisdom... I've made similar mistakes before."

he said sincerely.

"You are the reason why I can carry out this plan."

Finally, he looked at Ryan sincerely.

"Because you're in the castle, Ryan."

"And I always believed in you..."

He said firmly.

"I believe it very much."

There seemed to be a certain longing deep in the words.

This gave Ryan an illusion that at this moment...Albus Dumbledore's expression was actually somewhat like Severus Snape!

However, this feeling was only fleeting.

Because just the next moment, he saw the old wizard showing his signature, gentle and wise smile again.

"And...we finally made it, didn't we?"

He blinked his eyes smugly like an old child.

"We do know a lot about Tom and his crew..."

As soon as he talked about this, Ryan let go of the strange thought in his mind.

"Speaking of Voldemort's helper, I feel I have to tell you - that is a very dangerous guy... In fact..."

He hesitated for a moment before finally saying, "I think the person who controlled Ron might not be the same person who attacked Harry!"

That's right.

This is something Ryan has been concerned about since he heard what Harry said.

He had seen Voldemort's helper in the Forbidden Forest.

Although the other party only controlled Ron's body with the Imperius Curse, he could still vaguely see the other party's characteristics through Ron's body.

He looked just like the most dangerous dark wizard Ryan had seen a thousand years ago!

Their madness is hidden under the shell of rationality, tinged with wisdom and calmness.

Ryan even felt that he was more dangerous than Voldemort.

But Harry's attacker was different.

In Ryan's opinion, the opponent obviously had many loopholes, acted impatiently and was not careful enough - so much so that he could even be injured by the venom of the eight-eyed giant spider by a little wizard like Harry.

Ryan found it hard to believe that the two were the same person.

so...

"I think there might be not just two but three people behind this incident!"

Ryan said so.

However, Dumbledore denied his guess.

"No, Ryan... Actually, about the man who attacked Harry - I have a little guess."

Dumbledore said calmly.

Ryan seemed to faintly hear some ups and downs in his words.

"I'll see someone—I think if all goes well, he should be able to confirm whether my guess is correct."

His words surprised Ryan.

He immediately realized that Dumbledore seemed to have guessed who had attacked Harry?

"Because of Harry's information? The attacker only had four fingers on his right hand... Do you know such a person?!"

"Yes."

Dumbledore nodded. "If you are curious about this, I can take you there... but this may take some time. I need to apply for this meeting with the Ministry of Magic first."

"Ministry of Magic?"

After hearing this, Ryan was even more surprised.

Dumbledore actually needs to apply to the Ministry of Magic to meet with the other party?

Who was that person? The Minister of Magic?

"Yes."

But then he knew his guess was wrong.

Because he heard Dumbledore's slightly disappointed answer.

"He's been in Azkaban... for years."

Azkaban!?

This word made Ryan realize instantly that the story behind this was probably very long.

But Dumbledore obviously had no intention of saying more.

He just continued to talk about his speculation: "If the person who attacked Harry is really who I think he is, then based on what I know about him... he can't be the mastermind in this matter."

Dumbledore's tone was filled with disdain and contempt, which surprised Ryan.

In fact, he had rarely heard such obvious disdain from Dumbledore.

Even when it comes to Voldemort, while Dumbledore feels that he is pitiful and pathetic, he also tends to recognize his talents and magical attainments.

"That's a cowardly, cowardly betrayer."

Dumbledore commented.

"With all due respect, I don't think he's qualified to make you feel dangerous."

"I don't think Tom would consider him a helper either - he's a 'servant' at best!"

He made his final judgment: "Tom's helper is indeed not the one who attacked Harry, but someone else - I think it may be him who is responsible for controlling the movements of the pure-blood families in the dark."

"...Pure-blood family?!"

Ryan certainly didn't expect Dumbledore to suddenly mention pure-blood families.

But he immediately realized what the old wizard meant: "You mean that the pure-blood families are also involved in this matter... Is it this inquiry?"

"That's right, Ryan."

Dumbledore said calmly.

"It wasn't an attack that took place while I was away, but a premeditated inside and outside operation."

His words were filled with cold anger. "Excellent timing, but the purebloods are clearly not enough to pull it off."

"They think using excuses is a good way to delay, but I have to point out that those excuses are actually pretty lame, and I have a pretty good eye and brain."

He calmly recounted what happened to him today.

"So, I had to observe them more carefully."

When Ryan heard this, he immediately thought of the scene at the opening dinner.

"You used Legilimency on them?"

He said in surprise - he had thought that this old wizard who was extremely restrained in his power would not use such means.

"Oh, Ryan... who do you think I am?"

When Dumbledore saw Ryan's expression, he seemed helpless.

"A harmless statue? Or a conservative old fogey?"

He smiled, and Fox beside him also made a "li" sound.

As old acquaintances, the man and the bird smiled proudly at each other, as if they were recalling some interesting past.

"I won't hesitate to use any necessary means, Ryan...especially when the opponent's means are equally despicable."

When Dumbledore said this, Ryan also grinned.

"I underestimated you."

He apologized sincerely and reassured himself that Dumbledore could never truly be controlled by the pure-blood families or the Ministry of Magic.

His restraint is more like... he is afraid of being too willful!

For example, this time, Ryan was almost certain that with Dumbledore's Legilimency skills, most of the so-called pure-blood nobles from pure-blood families were not aware of this matter!

"So, what did you see? Which family joined Voldemort?"

So, Ryan asked softly.

"Oh—Lian, that's not the right question."

But Dumbledore corrected him with a smile.

"You should ask me which family didn't join him - in fact, most pure-blood families have an extremely foolish loyalty to Tom."

Dumbledore spoke gently.

"But what's interesting is that the one who took the lead in this matter was precisely one of the less loyal ones... I have to say that Mr. Lucius Malfoy's brain occupation skills are not up to standard."

"He was too frightened and too nervous, and his subconscious imagination was full of random thoughts... This made me see a lot of things - for example, Quirinus had met with him before school started and took a black diary from him."

His words made Ryan frown.

"Lucius Malfoy...the black diary!?"

A lot of things flashed through his mind almost instantly!
