After hearing this, Lockhart answered directly.

"Later, I will write papers on the research results of meditation and other related issues, and publish them in journals such as Philosopher's Stone and Magic Words. If you are interested, you can buy them directly."

"It will introduce meditation methods and precautions for practice."

"Thank you, Professor Lockhart. I will definitely buy it. Of course, I also hope to learn meditation from you." The young Squib replied immediately.

Then, he asked again: "Professor Lockhart, I personally think that your research results are a great favor to Squibs."

"But I want to ask, what do you think is the significance of your research results?"

In response to the young Squib's question, Lockhart pondered for a moment, as if he was organizing his words.

"I believe that the existence of meditation will solve the difficulties facing our wizarding world."

Lockhart replied meaningfully to everyone, looking at a large number of wizards with puzzled faces.

He began to wave his magic wand, drawing a line graph and a large number of numbers in the air.

Magical projection also revealed it to many wizards.

Many wizards looked at the line that fluctuated up and down but always sloped downward, their faces full of confusion.

Lockhart started to introduce himself directly: "As a researcher and writer, besides writing books, I love reading very much."

"After joining the Hogwarts professor, I gained a lot from the books in the Hogwarts library, and it also answered a question of mine."

"You may not be aware of the difficulties I am talking about facing the wizarding world."

“But look at this line graph and the numbers on it.”

"I found a surprising fact through my investigation of Hobworth's admissions records."

"That is, in the past 100 years, the number of young wizards enrolling in school has been on a downward trend."

"Except for the two periods of the Dark Lord, the number of students enrolled has dropped precipitously."

“But the overall volume, as shown in the line graph above, has been on a downward trend.”

At this time, some wizards' faces began to look bad, as if they had thought of something.

Lockhart analyzed in a calm tone: "Next, if the number of new students at Hogwarts continues to decrease every year."

"This means that in the future, the number of wizards we can train will decrease."

"It is very likely that when we grow old, the wizarding world will face the risk of extinction."

Unlike Lockhart's calm attitude, most of the wizards present were a little panicked.

Because the results of their analysis were exactly the same as Lockhart's, especially some pure-blood families, who, when they recalled their family history, had a hint of fear on their faces.

Then, Lockhart was heard to say in an inciting tone: "And this is the greatest significance of meditation."

"It allows Squibs to become wizards, and the number of wizards will increase suddenly."

"And the children of wizards and witches will not be at risk of becoming Squibs in the future. As long as they work hard, they will also become wizards."

"This means that we will break the desperate situation of the declining number of wizards."

"The number of wizards will not decrease, but will increase."

"The wizarding world will only become more prosperous and flourishing."

Having said that, Lockhart waved his wand excitedly and spoke passionately.

“This is what I think is the greatest significance of meditation.”

"Make Wizards.......great again!!!"

PS: The update for the leader is complete, thank you for your support

Dear readers, Xingchen would like to ask for subscriptions again. I don’t know if it’s because I have updated a lot recently.

The number of subscriptions has been declining recently. It used to be over a thousand every other day, but now, after a few days, it still hasn't reached the 1000 mark, and the average subscription has even dropped.

It made me a little upset.

So, considering how hard I work on updating, I beg you to subscribe and support me.

Chapter 165 Dumbledore, You Disappoint Me So Much (First Update, Please Subscribe)

Late at night, Hogwarts.

"Albus, join us."

In a somewhat dim room, an oil lamp was placed on the table.

The oil lamp emitted a fiery yellow light, trying to illuminate the entire room.

However, because the light is too weak, it can only illuminate the surrounding areas, making other places even darker.

On both sides of the table sat two young men. The one with white hair made a request to the white young man in black sitting opposite him.

Faced with his best friend's request, the young man hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, "Okay, Gellert."

The young Gellert Grindelwald looked delighted, and he grasped the hands of the young Albus Dumbledore and said excitedly: "I knew you would agree."

"Let's do this...for the greater good!"

Soon, the scene changed.

A much more mature Grindelwald and Dumbledore stood on a dueling stage.

"Gellert, let go, so many people have died."

Dumbledore, holding his wand and with a worried look on his face, said to Grindelwald.

"Hesitation, cowardice, and shortsightedness."

"Dumbledore, you disappoint me greatly."

"Everything I do is for the wizarding world."

“What is the greater good?”

"The interests of wizards as a whole are the greatest interests."

“You only see how many people are dying now.”

"Have you ever thought about how many wizards will die in the future if no one dies today?"

At the end, Grindelwald's tone became more and more excited, and he questioned with anger.

Dumbledore heard his best friend's voice mixed with anger and disappointment, and remained silent, with a hint of regret in his eyes.

The scene changes many times, all showing conversations between Dumbledore and Grindelwald at different ages.

suddenly...

A pair of light blue eyes opened.

Lying on the bed, Dumbledore had a very complicated expression on his face after waking up from his dream.

There is hesitation, regret, sorrow, and nostalgia, a large number of emotions are complicated together and difficult to grasp.

After a moment, Dumbledore stood up, took out a slightly dirty Pensieve, walked to the desk and put it down.

He took out his magic wand, lightly touched his temple, and slowly drew out a line of memory glowing white, like a white ribbon, and placed it in the meditation basin.

Then....

One of them suddenly rushed in.

The scene in the Pensieve was exactly what he experienced on the Quidditch field yesterday.

Watch it again, and observe carefully every word and every move of Morohart.

until........

Lockhart waved his wand excitedly and said passionately:

"Make Wizards.......great again!"

The picture suddenly stopped and remained quietly at this moment.

Dumbledore looked at Lockhart at this time, his eyes began to blur. A white-haired figure quietly emerged from his eyes, overlapped with Lockhart, and muttered to himself.

"Everything....for the greater good!"

"Make Wizards....Great Again!"

............

Hogwarts, a classroom.

Squib Ian sat on a bench, looking uneasy. Looking at the other Squibs around him who were sitting in various places like him, with nervous or expectant expressions on their faces, he felt even more psychologically stressed.

Yesterday, he watched Squib Filch perform magic and Professor Lockhart answer questions carefully.

The moment he saw Filch perform magic, he was so excited that he couldn't express it in words and his heart was pounding.

He saw that there was a female Squib about his age nearby, who was already crying.

And before he knew it, his eyes were moist.

Squib, a word full of contempt, symbolizes the lowest level of the wizarding world.

A Dumb like him who can get a stable job is still considered good. There are more Dumbs who are penniless and wandering around.

As for....returning to the muggle world.

For most Squibs, the Muggle world is unfamiliar, full of unknowns and risks.

They have been in the wizarding world for many years and cannot understand anything in the Muggle world.

And the Muggle world is a crueler place for the lower class than the wizarding world.

Squibs can still survive in the wizarding world, but in the lower-level Muggle world, gangs, drugs, and guns are mixed together, full of darkness, sin, and blood.

For a Muggle without an identity, it is like a stowaway coming to London.

The situation is not much better than entering hell.

Ian was better off, being born into a wizarding family. His parents were relatively open-minded and often took him to travel in the Muggle world.

Let him have a general understanding of the Muggle world from an early age.

When I grew up, due to my interest in Muggles, I gained some understanding of the Muggle world through some books.

Although it was not much, the knowledge he gained was enough to lay the foundation for his revenge plan.

As soon as he thought of revenge, Ian's eyes were fixed on the corridor outside.

He felt that even if he was armed with a Muggle weapon, the probability of a squib killing a wizard was too low.

As long as the opponent pays a little attention, any Transfiguration spell can turn his weapon into nothing.

And if you become a wizard, the probability of revenge will increase significantly.

Now, that's all he had to do.

Just wait patiently, wait for a wizard to call your name and enter the corridor outside.

Prepare for the interview with Professor Lockhart.

As long as he passes the interview, he will have the hope of becoming a wizard.

And the probability of revenge will be greatly increased.

If you can't pass it, then you can only buy some journals and study the meditation method that Lockhart mentioned.

See if you can become a wizard.

Ian knew very well that being Lockhart's research assistant or...student would allow him to become a powerful wizard or avenge his parents.

It will be the best opportunity.

If you miss this time, then...

Ian shook his head and pushed away the negative emotions in his heart.

Be prepared to face the upcoming interview in your best condition.
