Hogwarts: Harry's Path to Witches

Chapter 114 Don’t let violence fill your heart

After the two visitors had left, Professor Dumbledore looked at Harry in the corner and sighed helplessly:

"I'm sorry, Harley, I think you don't need to report to me anymore. After all, I'm not the principal now and I have no right to deal with this matter."

A look of disbelief appeared on Harry's face: "So Professor, you just agreed to Lucius Malfoy's unreasonable request?"

"Yes." Professor Dumbledore nodded slightly.

Harry's tone was filled with confusion:

"Professor, if I'm not wrong, you alone can tear Lucius Malfoy and Cornelius Fudge into pieces and even grind them into dust in one second.

But now, they are obviously looking for trouble and are dancing on your dignity.

If the communication partner were Grindelwald or Voldemort, the two generations of Dark Lords, I don’t think they would dare to say a single word ‘no’.

No, they probably wouldn't dare to say a word, they would just kneel there and obey the Dark Lord's orders.

And you suppressed Grindelwald and imprisoned him forever, and you also powerfully frightened Voldemort so that he did not dare to approach Hogwarts.

If you say that your strength is not as good as theirs, I don't believe it. So can you even tolerate this? "

Professor Dumbledore sighed again, but this time the object of his sigh was different from before.

He didn't answer immediately, and there was a look of reminiscence in his eyes. After a long time, Professor Dumbledore said in a slightly sad voice:

"Harley, I hope you can remember one thing, violence is never the best way to solve problems.

A progressive society always needs laws and regulations.

Although laws and regulations may not fully take care of everyone, they can always take care of the vast majority of people.

And I have always adhered to this principle. Although I am old, I think my brain is still useful.

I can tell that they are targeting me, and I also know that Connelly is unwilling to remain in my shadow, and Lucius wants to bring me down for the benefit of his family.

But all the documents they issued were in compliance with the law, and the law itself did not target me.

In this case, I will stick to my principles and abide by the law. As long as it doesn't touch my bottom line, I won't violate this principle.

And I also hope that you can understand this truth and don't let violence fill your heart. "

With that said, Professor Dumbledore stood up and waved his wand gently.

A box flew from the deepest part of the office, already filled with clothes and several special pieces of silverware.

"Professor, where are you going to live during this time?" Harry no longer persuaded, but became concerned about Professor Dumbledore's life after leaving school.

"Don't worry about me." Professor Dumbledore raised his hand, and Phoenix Fawkes flew to his shoulder.

Professor Dumbledore stroked Fawkes' feathers and said softly: "I still have a few old friends, and I think they are happy to take me in."

"Professor, don't you have your own house?" Harley raised her eyebrows slightly.

Dumbledore did not pick up the topic, but changed the direction of the chat: "Harry, I think the murderer will continue to appear.

He spent so much effort to force me to leave Hogwarts, so he must be planning something in Hogwarts Castle.

If necessary, you can call Fox's name. As a phoenix, it can appear by your side at any time and provide considerable help. "

Fox chirped proudly, flicked his wings slightly, and a golden-red feather fell on Harley's hair.

Harley felt a connection instantly form between herself and Fox.

She nodded, her hair grew naturally, and part of it was slightly curled, wrapping the feathers.

Soon, Harley's hair returned to its smooth shape, making it difficult for anyone to see the abnormality.

Dumbledore watched this scene and didn't say anything, just patted Fawkes.

One person and one bird turned into fire and disappeared into the air, leaving only one sentence in Harley's ear: "Be careful, Harley."

Watching Dumbledore disappear into thin air, Harry quickly thought about the previous information.

Although Professor Dumbledore's behavior is not in line with my own views, it is very consistent with my first impression of him——

Similar to the abstinence sect of the prisoner path, the old man who bound himself with rules.

And judging from the reminiscing look in his eyes earlier, Professor Dumbledore is also a person with a story.

It is probably because of these past events that Professor Dumbledore is still bound by the law after gaining power!

If it were Harley, if those two weaklings dared to jump like this before, Harley would have turned them into ice sculptures.

Harry shook his head, no longer thought about it, and left the principal's office, leaving only the old principals with their eyes open and talking to each other.

……

The next morning, after opening the Daily Prophet, Harry knew why Fudge came to Hogwarts so late at night.

Some time ago, neither the Daily Prophet, the most credible newspaper, nor various other periodicals published anything about the Hogwarts attack.

Obviously, this is the result of pressure from the Ministry of Magic, in order to avoid causing panic or creating negative news.

But today, the news that "Students in Hogwarts were attacked and suspected to be petrified by monsters in the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets" appeared as the headline in the Daily Prophet, firmly occupying two pages.

The title of the news is very interesting, "The Slytherin Chamber of Secrets is suspected to be opened, Professor Lockhart caught the murderer".

Harry turned back, and sure enough, Professor Lockhart accused Hagrid of opening Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets.

He also stated in the newspaper that it was Hagrid who opened Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets fifty years ago, so the evidence is conclusive.

"How could Hagrid be the heir of Slytherin?" Hermione was also reading a newspaper, with a look of disbelief on her face.

Harley took a bite of the bread with strawberry jam. After swallowing the breakfast, she whispered to Hermione in detail what happened fifty years ago.

When Harry returned to the common room last night, she had already learned a lot of information from the Fat Lady.

Professor Dumbledore forbids the Fat Lady and other portraits and ghosts from actively disclosing this information to students, but they can do so if students ask.

So Harley completely learned the truth of that year——

Hagrid raised a dangerous magical creature. At that time, the Chamber of Secrets was opened, many students were attacked, and a Ravenclaw girl died.

As a result, Hagrid was reported, and he took the initiative to let the monster go.

So he ended up getting kicked out of school, breaking his wand, and spending time in Azkaban.

Fortunately, Dumbledore, who was the Professor of Transfiguration at the time, took the initiative to provide guarantee, and Hagrid was released from prison and became the gamekeeper of Hogwarts.

"Hagrid is our friend, and I shouldn't have made such a comment. But I still want to say that Hagrid brought it upon himself."

Hermione was silent for a few minutes after listening before making her own evaluation,

"He thought he didn't want to cause trouble to Professor Dumbledore, but his behavior actually caused huge trouble to Professor Dumbledore."

"No way, you know him." Harley shrugged and spread another spoonful of strawberry jam on the bread.
