Sword and Magic and Taxi

Dumbledore stood upright, looking at Zhao Mai up and down, looking at the young man from head to toe. He then recalled the past that he and Zhao Mai had experienced, from the earliest letter he received from Grindelwald to the adventure in Atlantis, as well as the new learning atmosphere that his physical education class recently brought to Hogwarts. . Mike, you were not the kind of person who used conspiracy in the past... I still want to believe you. If you have any ideas, just say it!

Please sit down, Professor Dumbledore. Even if I have the idea of ​​using conspiracy one day, I will not target you. Zhao Mai shrugged his shoulders and showed a relaxed smile: You are angry about what happened to your father. , so you are willing to listen to Grindelwald’s ideas and want to change the world with him, right? It’s just that your sister suffered a misfortune—I’m not going to reveal the scars, but Grindelwald said...

Zhao Mai deliberately mentioned Grindelwald's name, but did not say anything specific, leaving enough room for Dumbledore's imagination. Dumbledore is a trustworthy person, but Zhao Mai wants to ensure that if he and Grindelwald conflict, Dumbledore must be on his side.

Dumbledore, I don't know how you evaluate those who imprisoned your father in Azkaban Prison. Is it justice of the law or excessive demands on morality? But I know one thing. Imprison your father to death. It's definitely not right in Azkaban.

He did not explain why he cast spells on those three guys to protect my sister. Dumbledore sat down slowly, his eyes fell into memories, and said slowly: After that incident, my My sister's magic power was out of control, creating an Obscurus in her body. According to the regulations, she would be taken away, permanently isolated, never to be seen again, and left alone until death. In order to cover up this matter, my father never mentioned me from the beginning to the end. It was about his sister, so he was imprisoned in Azkaban for murder.

But it's not the death penalty, it's just imprisonment. Zhao Mai said: I don't understand why a prison is guarded by terrible dementors? Everyone knows that dementors suck people's souls and torture people crazy. No A man in Azkaban is mentally sound. Is it possible to do this just because the dementors are scary enough and cheap? Is this right or wrong? Is there any way to improve it?

Mike, where did you get all this information? I haven't mentioned some of this to Grindelwald.

As long as something happened, it will leave traces. I didn't mean to check you. I can only say to pull up the carrot and bring up the mud. Zhao Mai said: Your father is dead, and your mother is dead because of your sister's magic power. Out of control died, and so did your sister. Dumbledore, I sympathize deeply, but do you really not want to do anything more? Do you think Azkaban should be like that, waiting for it to be swallowed up? Someone you might care about? Do you think things should be based on justice, or should they be based on the will of some people? Zhao Mai pointed to the Daily Prophet and said to Dumbledore: They are really There is no progress and we are still doing the same things using the same old methods. What the Daily Prophet will say next time may be an article that slanders you.”

Dumbledore was silent and didn't speak for a long time. After the heat of the tea had dissipated and the fragrance had subsided, Dumbledore picked up the cup and drank it all. Mike, you are starting to look like Grindelwald. You want to make changes, starting with the Ministry of Magic. I can't comment on such an idea, because when I want to do the same, misfortune will happen. I I know I can't control my ambition. I tried, and I found that the only way I can contribute to the wizarding world is through self-discipline. I...

You want to teach students well, make them better, and slowly change the world, just like you told me. Zhao Mai directly followed Dumbledore's words and said: I admire and appreciate your idea. But I'm half a step ahead of you, and I want to try to see if this road can work. I let the students observe and learn the advantages of ordinary people. If such changes cannot be achieved, how can you expect to be able to slowly change everything? ?”

After hearing this, Dumbledore calmed down. Mike, it's good since you already have a plan. You are an adult and I can't dissuade you, but I still think you are too anxious to take this step.

Dumbledore, I am not a wizard. There is no need for me to devote my whole life to wizarding things. Don't interfere with this matter. If it can calm down on its own, then I will continue to teach and believe that the wizarding world can be slowly changed. . If not, choose this road or another road, and you can always reach the end.

You want me to do nothing? This kind of thing of standing by and doing nothing... I can't do it.

Of course you can interfere with this time, but you can't stop me from continuing this experiment. Dumbledore, I can only believe the results if you don't participate. So, I'm asking you, you Don’t interfere, just pretend you don’t know anything and don’t say anything.”

Dumbledore looked at Zhao Mai, and he suddenly understood something. He was powerless to stop what Zhao Mai had decided to do. But if he does nothing, Principal Dippet will definitely not be able to withstand the dual pressure from the pure-blood faction and the Ministry of Magic.

Just like the time with his father many years ago, there were only two pure evils: the evil deeds of the three Muggle teenagers against his sister, and the fear that they would forcibly take away and permanently isolate their sister. Zhao Mai was right. The cause of his father's death was the dementors in Azkaban. He would not die if he was locked up in another place, even if it was to see the children again.

Dumbledore, what are you worried about? Are you worried about what those people from the Ministry of Magic will do to me? Zhao Mai smiled: The Ministry of Magic is just useless people. In order to prevent others from appearing more useful than them, they force everyone to do something to me. One has to live with them as a useless department. No matter how good they are, it doesn't change the fact that they are useless.

Hahaha... Dumbledore laughed. He suddenly thought, how long has it been since he laughed to his heart's content? The last time seemed to go back to his youth, the summer when he met Grindelwald. But that laughter ultimately resulted in the death of my sister. He looked at Zhao Mai and then shook his head. No, this guy Mike is not going to die.

It's not like I didn't do anything. I've asked Duojian to take my statement to the Daily Prophet. We can't just let the villain speak.

Well, that's right. If you insist on this, then I'll wait and see what happens. Dumbledore was also unsure about this matter, so he finally said: Anyway, your physical education class is very good. You are A good teacher.

I'm just more realistic than you. Zhao Mai replied.
