Then slid to the side, actively revealing the spiral staircase behind.

Gwen climbed the stairs in two steps, and the door to the circular office opened when she reached the last step.

Dumbledore behind the door folded his hands in front of his mouth, thinking about something.

Gwen wiped the sweat off her face, "Professor... we... have to talk."

Dumbledore with the white beard graciously asked Gwen to take a breather and sit in one of the chairs opposite him.Gwen guessed that this was the chair that had just served the Weasleys.

"You are not a visitor here often, Miss Ollivander." The headmaster's soft voice came slowly. Interestingly, as long as this great wizard speaks, he can calm the anxious Gwen few.

"I need an answer." She looked straight into Dumbledore's eyes, wishing he'd tell her she was being silly, "I heard Ron was drinking the drink that Slughorn intended A gift for you."

Dumbledore's calm face finally moved a bit, "Yeah, I think I should be responsible for Ron Weasley's tragic experience."

"You know what I mean." Gwen could no longer speak calmly. "Katie's necklace, the poisoned mead—it's all for you. Let me be more frank, Headmaster, I overheard The conversation between Professor Snape and Malfoy. The mysterious man gave Malfoy a task, and he even admitted that he was the one who hurt Katie." Gwen took a deep breath, "And the one you entrusted me to do Stuff—can I be any more stupid?"

"On the contrary," Dumbledore put down his hands, and changed his address to talk to her, "Gwen. You proved to me once again that you are a very keen witch."

"Oh!" Gwen wailed, covering her face, "Please tell me I'm wrong, Professor. Malfoy's mission is... to kill you?"

Dumbledore didn't speak, and turned to bring Gwen a cup of sweet berry black tea.

But this only made Gwen more restless, and she supported the armrest with both hands, fearing that she would fall off the chair. "My wand - poorly made - will thwart your plan! How can you fool You-Know-Who then?"

Dumbledore raised his hands and pressed down, and Gwen immediately felt a warm current flowing from the top of his head to all parts of his body. "Relax, Gwen. Professor Snape probably reminded you that these shouldn't be your worries, why don't you enjoy your last time at Hogwarts—ah, youth, I promise It will be the happiest experience of your life."

"How could I?" Gwen was almost hysterical, "After I knew such a serious situation? A student accepted the task of the Dark Lord to murder the greatest White Wizard—"

"——this is really an honor."

"And he and one of his teachers not only didn't stop that student! They even acquiesced in that person hurting two innocent students!" Gwen was furious. Very angry attitude.

Dumbledore was silent for a moment, looking very guilty, "Of course it was my fault, Gwen. I never thought of Draco Malfoy..."

"Just because of his pure soul?" Gwen's voice rose. "Just because he's not quite a Death Eater—yes, I've confirmed it—but he really wants to kill you, and Everyone else in the way."

"It's not polite." A soft voice came from a portrait on the wall. Phineas Nigellus Black, Sirius' great-great-grandfather, seemed to have fallen asleep on his arm just now. Er just looked up.Several old headmasters in the portraits on the wall were also woken up, eavesdropping on their conversation. "Back then, I wouldn't allow a student to raise objections to the headmaster of Hogwarts."

Gwen also realized that she was getting too excited. She thought she would be asked out of the headmaster's office immediately.But Dumbledore turned around to appease Phineas, and then explained to Gwen.

"You must have noticed that Professor Snape was trying to get news from Malfoy." His white beard moved.

"But that doesn't work, Malfoy doesn't trust his Head as much as he once did," Gwen said desperately. "Most importantly, Snape and Mrs. Malfoy have made an unbreakable vow. Forgive me for my pessimism, Headmaster. Doesn't this mean that Professor Snape must ensure that Malfoy completes the task?"

Dumbledore's beard moved again, and he smiled wider this time.Even Phineas, who was looking worried just now, looked at Gwen mockingly, as if she was a child who didn't understand anything but lost his temper.

"I am glad to see that you have learned something about this kind of magic spell," said Dumbledore, "but, Gwen. Allow me to ask, can you think of a spell that is truly flawless?"

"A lot." Gwen said subconsciously, even feeling like she was in class, "Many magics don't have counter-spells..."

"Anti-curse is not the only way to break a kind of magic." Dumbledore looked into the distance. "Like time."

Of course, thought Gwen.If the wizard who cast the spell dies, most of the magic is lost with it.

"But in some cases, there is not so much time." Gwen said bravely, "What if irreparable damage has been caused? For example, unforgivable..." Then Gwen closed her mouth, and she immediately thought of a living example of.

"You have obviously noticed a solution." Dumbledore withdrew his gaze. "As for the oath we discussed, it has not been unbreakable since the oath was sworn."

Gwen didn't quite understand.But the principal has been reluctant to disclose more information.

"Before I come," Gwen decided to confess what she was really afraid of, "I still have one last hope. Professor, can you guarantee that nothing will happen to me?" Looking at Dumbledore's conspicuous, blackened finger.

"I don't want you to be burdened, Gwen. A fake wand is the best solution that Professor Snape and I have agreed upon after discussion."

"But that's probably the biggest flaw!" Gwen was on the point of screaming. "Why bother with the wand! Couldn't it be a potion—or something else?"

"The wand is very important." Dumbledore shook his head slowly, "It can even be said that it is a crucial part."

"Must it be a wand? Must it be Professor Snape's wand?" Gwen raised her head sharply, "I thought he was from the Order of the Phoenix."

"Professor Snape, of course." Dumbledore was very firm this time, "And you don't have much doubt about it, which saves me a lot of time in explaining virtually."

"I understand, you are using your own methods to stop Malfoy." Gwen smiled wryly, and boldly made childish comments on the two excellent wizards, "But instead of trying to contain him from the source, on the contrary, we are going to turn the tide at the last moment— —What a perfect plan.” She said sarcastically, “Then just in case, I mean in case, the situation comes to an end…”

"Professor Snape and I are ready." The great old man smiled quietly, looked at Gwen, and said words that could subvert the magical world in the most flat tone.

"Are you joking?" Gwen's eyes were red. "What does Dumbledore mean? You are the best wizard in the world. Without you, how would we fight that person?"

"You can call him Voldemort, Gwen."

"Damn Voldemort, without Dumbledore, who can beat him? Who has the faith and hope to fight him? Most importantly, you promised me-my grandpa's safety!" said the last sentence At the end, Gwen has lost all thoughts, and seems to have foreseen the retreat of wizards and the war-torn magical world.

"Wherever I am, my pledge will be followed. Garrick must be safe."

"If you...," Gwen dared not say the word, "it wouldn't take three seconds for the Malfoys to get down on their knees and kiss Voldemort's robes!"

"I've always had the lowest hopes for humanity," said the aged headmaster. "It's gratifying that when the counterparty in the deal is a wizard with valuable character, then I have reason to believe that person will not betray me."

"Malfoy has no credibility," Gwen said mercilessly at him.

"I don't mean reputation, I mean love." He winked slyly at Gwen, telling her cryptically that he knew she had imposed a "little punishment" on Draco Malfoy.He seemed to hope that Gwen would understand what he was implying.

"As for me," Dumbledore said slowly, then standing up and walking to the window, looking down at a lively Hogwarts, "was never the only hope for wizards, Gwen."

"You can't expect Harry to be alone - he's not even a teenage, love-hungry dope!" Gwen exclaimed.

"Neither is Harry, but he is our most precious hope." Dumbledore turned briskly and looked at Gwen with deep thought, "You, all the little wizards, all the young people, are the real heroes of the wizarding world." hope."

"I'm sorry that I can't understand this sentence at all now, or rather, I have some doubts about this point of view." Gwen said in a temper, with the faces of Gore and Crabbe like gorilla in his mind.Although she knew she couldn't blame Dumbledore at all.The old man even took his own life into account without hesitation, and there are many other people with the same ideals around him.
