"I see!"
Dumbledore said calmly: "We cannot stop a student from pursuing magic - even if it is dangerous."
Snape looked at Dumbledore in surprise.
He hadn't expected Dumbledore to say that.
He thought Dumbledore would stop Andy from continuing his research, or even talk to Andy.
"That's not like you," Snape said coolly.
Dumbledore blinked and asked, "Does the headmaster and professors of Hogwarts want to forbid their students from learning magic?"
"Magical transformation, that is very dangerous magic." Snape emphasized.
"I'm glad you said that."
Dumbledore seemed to be in a good mood. "Collins is a very cautious little wizard. I think he will have his own judgment."
Dumbledore met many people in his life, and he taught thousands of students alone.
Andy Collins might be complicated, but Dumbledore trusted his own judgement - he thought Andy was a very lonely person.
This kind of loneliness is not about being afraid of interacting with others, but about being disdainful of interacting with others.
Among the little wizards of the same class, Dumbledore didn't think anyone could be Andy's friend except Hermione, who was also an outstanding little witch.
Even Ron, who had known Andy since childhood, was the same.
Dumbledore even felt that Andy didn't even particularly care about the wizarding world.
He doesn't care about power, wealth, or fame, only magic in his heart.
"If there's nothing else, I'll go back first." Snape didn't dwell on it too much.
Dumbledore nodded slightly.
After Snape left, Dumbledore opened the drawer of his desk and took out a black notebook.
There was a transparent hole in the middle of the notebook, and there were some burn marks around the hole - that was the hole burned through by the fierce fire.
"Tom..."
Dumbledore opened the notebook and gently ran his old fingers over the burnt areas.
After getting the notebook, Dumbledore tried to have a good chat with Voldemort when he was a student, but little Tom was unwilling to pay attention to him.
The communication failed, and Dumbledore had no choice but to destroy the Horcrux.
"Where would you hide the other Horcruxes?" Dumbledore muttered to himself.
……
Andy never thought that even though he had the Marauder's Map in his hand, he would still be caught by Dumbledore.
As the end of September approached, in order to obtain the last [Potential Point] as soon as possible, Andy devoted most of his energy to practicing magic.
Not only spells, but also transfiguration has made great breakthroughs.
If nothing goes wrong, Andy feels that he can save up seven [Potential Points] tonight and raise his [Magic] talent to [7].
Seven is a magic number.
Andy felt that might be the ultimate talent that a normal wizard could achieve.
Before leaving the dormitory, Andy had clearly checked the Marauder's Map. Dumbledore had been walking around in circles in the office. How could he suddenly appear in the corridor on the eighth floor?
Damn it!
"Good evening, Headmaster Dumbledore." Andy greeted first.
"Good evening, Mr. Collins." Dumbledore was standing by the window admiring the moonlight. He seemed to be disturbed by Andy. He was surprised when he heard the voice and seemed curious about why Andy appeared here.
Andy complained silently, if there was no live map, I would have been fooled by you.
Andy could imagine that after the old principal knew that he was out for a night out, he somehow got ahead of him and then pretended to be a master here.
Andy stood beside Dumbledore and looked out the window following Dumbledore's gaze.
The crescent moon hung over the forbidden forest, and the surface of the Black Lake reflected the moon and stars. From here, the forbidden forest in the dark night seemed to have a strange charm.
"It's beautiful." Andy said.
"Yes! Even though I have seen it for many years, the night view of Hogwarts is still breathtaking." Dumbledore exclaimed.
This is true!
The night view of modern cities is also beautiful, but the night view of Hogwarts has an ancient and mysterious atmosphere that cannot be achieved by any lighting or color decoration.
Andy didn't say anything, but accompanied Dumbledore to quietly look at the stars and the moon.
"Are you thinking about your little girlfriend? It's boring to watch the moon with an old man like me, isn't it?" Dumbledore teased.
This is also true!
"It's more lively to watch the moon with you," Andy said with a smile.
Andy felt that the current atmosphere was quite weird.
Dumbledore smiled and asked, "Have you thought about what to do after graduation?"
"Stay in school and teach!" said Andy.
"I thought you were thinking of something greater," said Dumbledore.
"Like...?" Andy asked back.
Dumbledore did not answer the question, but continued, "Collins, what do you think of Muggles?"
"What aspect are you asking about?" Andy also did not answer directly.
Dumbledore glanced at Andy and said, "You can say whatever you want. Just think of it as chatting with an old man like me."
Andy shrugged and said, "Muggles are people who can't use magic, but other than that they're no different from us. The technology they master is no less advanced than magic."
Dumbledore nodded, "What about the wizarding world?"
Andy looked at Dumbledore strangely. Is this old man a little strange tonight?
Are we really just looking at the moon and talking about life and ideals?
"Principal, you're a little strange tonight," Andy said bluntly.
Dumbledore looked into the distance. "Many people in the wizarding world cannot think like you. They have been closed off for too long and have been blind to the changes in the outside world."
"This is dangerous!"
Chapter 200 [Magic:] and the changes of the patronus
Chapter 200 [Magic: 7] and the changes of the Patronus
I can think like a principal at the age of twelve?
This thought suddenly popped into Andy's mind.
Next, are you going to give me some strange tasks?
For example: Massacre of the wizarding world?
"There's nothing we can do about it."
Andy said indifferently: "They can't see the outside world by themselves. We can't force them to see it, right?"
Dumbledore seemed to be lost in his memories. "Someone once saw the threat of Muggles and tried to break the Statute of Secrecy and lead wizards to create greater benefits. But his ideas were too dangerous and impossible to achieve."
Andy nodded, not rushing to express his opinion.
Gellert Grindelwald!
He wanted wizards to rule over and even enslave Muggles, which was simply impossible.
Not to mention the power of Muggles themselves, even in the magical world, there are a large number of wizards who come from the Muggle world, and they will not support Grindelwald's reforms.
Voldemort is even more like a terrorist, he has lost even the style of a villain.
Andy probably understood what the old principal meant.
“It’s a thankless job!”
Andy said calmly: "When the crisis comes, we can only save ourselves."
Andy doesn't want to be a savior.
If you are strong enough, you can beat Voldemort.
But forget about reforming the wizarding world!
Andy doesn't think those wizards deserve to be saved.
Just like Andy said before, they themselves can't see the changes in the outside world, so who can force them to see it?
People can forgive others for being wrong, but it is difficult to forgive others for being right.
Let those conservatives face the facts, and they may even resent you for disturbing their sweet dreams.
"As long as we have powerful strength, we can always protect ourselves no matter how the world changes." Andy expressed his attitude directly.
Dumbledore glanced sideways at Andy.
Dumbledore was not surprised by Andy's words. This was Andy's character. No matter what happened around him, as long as it did not affect Andy, he would just be a bystander.
It was just like the fight between Gryffindor and Slytherin that day.
Andy also chose to watch.
Dumbledore said nothing more.
He is already very old, he is over 110 years old this year. He can solve Voldemort for the wizarding world, but the real crisis of the wizarding world has never been Voldemort.
Over the years, the pressure of Voldemort and the worry about the future of the wizarding world have worn Dumbledore down.
But in recent years, Dumbledore has figured it out.
Let’s leave the future affairs to the people of the future. He only needs to do well in his time.
Worrying about everything will only make you exhausted.
"It's already very late. You should take good rest even when practicing magic." Dumbledore said, then turned and walked towards the headmaster's office.
Andy looked at the old principal's back and sighed silently in his heart that the magic world is still lacking in talent!
Just thinking about those little wizards in school...
Whose fault is this?
……
The magic practice room in the Room of Requirement.
After more than three hours of practice, Andy watched the red liquid in the system sphere grow little by little until it filled the entire sphere and then disappeared in an instant.
"Successful!" Andy was overjoyed.
In the system panel, [Potential Points: 6] has become [Potential Points: 7], and Andy can finally add the [Magic] talent.
"call--"
With a sigh of relief, Andy adjusted his state, and with excitement, added all seven [Potential Points] to the [Magic] talent.
At that moment, Andy seemed to be sublimated.
It was a feeling like a sudden enlightenment, or a sudden epiphany.
All those magical theories that were previously vague and difficult to grasp seemed to be understood in an instant.
At this moment, Andy felt as if he could do anything.
It's an amazing feeling.
Andy felt that his mind was much clearer, and the knowledge he had learned in the past was boiling in his mind - Andy understood them and could master them.
The magic wand was waved gently, and the fat cat patronus jumped out from the tip of the wand, flew around Andy, then turned around and drilled into Andy's body.
“Happy memories!”
Andy closed his eyes and recalled the happy and joyful times he had experienced in his two lifetimes.
