Chapter 592 Dumbledore’S Failure
Seeing Umbridge's ridiculous performance, Levin stopped and said with a joking smile, "In fact, you can ask Secretary Fudge for permission. But
He changed the subject and his tone became serious,
"You don't have the right to stop Professor McGonagall from taking Dumbledore's personal belongings before you get permission, do you? Maybe you can try to compete with Professor McGonagall to see who is faster?"
Then, Levin shook his head and smacked his lips, "Oh, naive Dolores [are you really going to touch the personal belongings of ten of the most powerful wizards in the world?"
He looked like he was feeling sorry for Umbridge's stupidity,
"I saw on TV how you were cornered by Dumbledore on the news. I thought you had learned your lesson by then."
There was an emotion that was almost pity in his eyes, making Umbridge instantly realize how stupid he was to be dazzled by victory again.
She recalled the fear and helplessness she felt when her life was threatened by Dumbledore that day, and then thought about her stupid behavior just now, and she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
At this time, her face became extremely pale, like a frightened middle-aged and elderly girl, her trembling hands tightly grasped the armrests of the principal's chair, and her chest, which was beating violently due to fear, seemed to pop out of her clothes.
She slumped down on the chair, as if she had lost all her strength. She opened her mouth, but couldn't even utter a word.
"Professor McGonagall." Levin turned around with satisfaction and looked at Professor Minerva McGonagall again, "I think you heard it, right? I suggest you move faster to avoid a long night of dreams.
Professor McGonagall woke up from a dream. She didn't have time to thank Levin and hurried to Dumbledore's memory bottle.
Those bottles contain Dumbledore's precious memories. In Professor McGonagall's eyes, they are more important than anything else and must be taken away as soon as possible.
At this moment, Hermione squeezed in from the crowd of onlookers carrying two suitcases, and then handed the two suitcases expanded by the [Invisible Telescopic Spell] to Professor McGonagall: "Professor McGonagall, please use this. This is what Mr. Levin just ordered me to bring."
Hermione deliberately raised her voice so that Harry, Ronald and others in the crowd could hear her.
She had been standing by to endure their malicious speculations, and now she finally had a chance to take revenge. She held her chin up, just like she had done to them in first grade, mortifying them.
Ronald's face turned red, making his freckles no longer look so conspicuous. Harry also lowered his head, not daring to look at Hermione.
Instead, George and Fred smiled at each other and high-fived each other in celebration.
Although many young wizards have doubts about Dumbledore because of the reports, this does not mean that they can accept someone like Umbridge as their headmaster.
Now seeing Umbridge's deflated appearance, they all had happy expressions on their faces.
After a short period of time, the atmosphere that had been slightly harmonious because everyone was ostracizing Umbridge suddenly became tense again.
"Professor McGonagall, you seem to have some misunderstandings." Levin said in a deep voice, "Of course you can take away Dumbledore's personal belongings, but each of these books is the property of Hogwarts. They must stay here. I I will sort it out myself and return it to the school library.”
He paused and glanced at the curious and eager faces outside the door, with a joking smile on his lips: "I will explain some of this knowledge in my class. If you can meet my requirements and are willing to accept regular If you check, you will find that I am more reasonable than Professor Lockhart. Especially when it comes to issuing approval slips for restricted areas, I am very generous."
Professor McGonagall's face changed suddenly when she heard this. She was eager to stop Levin: "But, Mr. Levin Green, these books contain the secrets of the school, as well as dangerous knowledge moved from the restricted area of the library! Dumbledore took them Hiding it here is to prevent this knowledge from falling into the wrong hands! How can you even think of teaching it to students?"
Levin stopped packing his books and turned to face the Transfiguration Professor.
"Professor McGonagall, why does Dumbledore think he is qualified to replace the decisions of previous headmasters?" His tone became serious, "These books are the crystallization of knowledge accumulated by countless predecessors since the founding of Hogwarts. They should be Use it to enlighten students' minds, rather than being locked up in this little principal's office. Knowledge is neither good nor bad, the key lies in how we use it."
Speaking of this, his voice gradually increased so that the students outside the door could hear clearly.
"The purpose of my application to be the professor of Arcane Magic is to set things right and correct the serious mistakes Principal Dumbledore made in education during his decades-long tenure, as well as the negative influence he brought to Hogwarts. .”
Levin's voice echoed in the corridor, and every word was like a bombshell, shocking the teachers and students present.
They had been thinking about Dumbledore's good and evil for days, but never imagined that anyone would dare to question the education of the long-time headmaster of the world's top wizarding school.
"Levin Green, please take it back immediately..." Professor Sprout's face changed suddenly. The dean of Hufflepuff always had a kind smile on his face, but at this moment he looked angry and excited. .
She was about to open her mouth to refute Levin, but Levin reached out to stop her.
"Professor Sprout, please listen to me first." Levin's voice was calm and firm, "I would like to ask, since Dumbledore started teaching, what is the level of spells among the graduates in the British wizarding community? The fact is that many graduates do not even know the most basic skills. Even the [Iron Armor Curse] cannot be cast, isn’t this a failure of education? But our neighbors across the ocean, the graduates of Durmstrang School, are able to master various spells proficiently, which makes us Hogg Why are Watts graduates so embarrassed?"
Levin's words were full of dissatisfaction and worry about the current situation of Hogwarts.
He deliberately did not mention Hogwarts' advantages in terms of teachers and teaching strength in potions, herbology, charms and other aspects, but instead focused on Hogwarts' weaknesses, further highlighting Dumbledore's Educational failure.
0......Please give me flowers......
This is actually nothing, after all, Hogwarts's lack of practical education is an indisputable fact - Levin just has high requirements for Hogwarts.
"We at Hogwarts were once the best wizarding school in the world. This is an indisputable fact." Levin continued, "But now, can we still be worthy of this title? Are we relying only on the past? The illusion brought about by the residual power and personal strength of Principal Dumbledore? This is a question we need to think deeply about.
Although Professor McGonagall admitted that wizards' combat skills had declined significantly in recent years, she did not think this was Dumbledore's responsibility.
"Indeed, the level of combat among wizards has dropped worryingly in recent years. But I don't think it's fair to blame all the blame on Dumbledore. After all, You-Know-Who has exerted a long-term influence on our most critical practical class - Defense Against the Dark Arts. The curse makes it so that almost no professor can last a full year in this position. Albus has done his best to be my excellent Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher every year."

When Levin heard this, he couldn't help but sneered:
"Trying very hard? Professor McGonagall, are you talking about Quirrell, Lockhart, or Crouch Jr.?"
His tone was full of sarcasm, "If Dumbledore really wants to solve this problem, as the headmaster, he is fully capable of doing it. But people are often confused by his aura of 'the greatest white wizard' and ignore such a simple thing." problems and their solutions.”
Umbridge sat on the principal's chair and listened attentively to the conversation between the two. She had long heard rumors about the curse, and had always regarded her experiences this semester as the result of the curse.
At this moment, she felt that she had found an opportunity. She was about to stand up and echo Levin's words, and planned to delve deeper into the curse [so that she could use this as an excuse to follow Dumbledore.
However, the moment she raised her buttocks, she was immediately glared back by Levin with a sharp look - Levin's eyes were as piercing as ice, causing Umbridge to instantly lose his courage and had to sit back on the principal's seat obediently.
"Levin, breaking the curse is much more difficult than casting the curse."
Professor Filius Flivi finally squeezed in from among the students who were a head taller than him. His appearance eased the tense atmosphere slightly.
Although he had doubts about some of Levin's actions, Professor Flitwick immediately tried to ease the tense atmosphere. He did not want this talented young man to stand on the opposite side of Hogwarts on impulse.
What's more, Umbridge's half-truth and half-false accusations had already made his friend Minerva McGonagall faint with anger, and Flitwick didn't want her to receive any new stimulation.
"Even Principal Dumbledore may not be able to easily break this curse cast by the mysterious man himself."
He glanced at Levin, then glanced at the other professors and students present, and continued: "However, you are also a master of curses. If we can work together, plus Principal Albus, it may be possible to find a way to break this curse. Method again."
