Chapter 692 Communication in the Principal's Office

After having a lunch with the Weasley twins, Ryan and the others left the joke shop and went straight to Hogwarts Castle. The defense around the castle is much more complete than before, especially the size of the patrol team is much larger than before.

Although many of these patrols are composed of volunteers among the temporary residents who have recently lived in Hogsmeade, the level may not be very high. But their appearance proved from the side that the previous panic has slowly ended, and everything has begun to go on the right track.

Ryan and the others originally planned to go back to their room to deal with some things, and then chat with their friends. As a result, when they just walked upstairs from the foyer, a flame exploded in front of them, and a small phoenix flew out of the flame. After dropping them a tightly rolled strip of parchment, another flame died out.

It seems to be Professor Dumbledore. I think he has spotted me as soon as we walked into this castle. Ryan said after taking the note, and then unfolded it. Just like our manor, as a building complex with a large number of magic circles and alchemy products, its owner can always control any information in this building.

Then what is written on the note? Hermione asked after watching Ryan unfold the note, We just came back to the school from outside, what is Dumbledore needing to find us in such a hurry?

I don't know, because it's just an invitation to have a cup of tea in his office. Ryan handed the small note to Hermione, and Hermione saw that there was only a simple invitation and today's note on the note. Password for the principal's office. Nothing else.

Sandwich marshmallows. After coming to the door of the principal's office and reading the command, the stone monster jumped aside to give way to the spiral staircase of the principal's office. Circling up to the oak door, Ryan knocked on the door, and the door opened.

The principal's office still maintains its original appearance, a circular office filled with all kinds of small strange sounds. Professor Dumbledore's silverware was still placed on the small table next to it and on the partition behind the desk, each rotating, spraying out puffs of smoke. The principal's phoenix stood on a tall gilded perch behind the door as before. When Ryan looked at it, it tweeted and greeted Ryan.

Just as Ryan looked at everything in the office with a nostalgic look, the door opened with a creak. Headmaster Dumbledore came out of a door above, and then stood on the platform to greet Ryan and the others. Lane, Hermione, it's nice to see you again after such a long time.

We are too. Nice to meet you, Mr. Principal. After watching the principal walk down the stairs and get on the high-back chair, Ryan nodded slightly and said. Did you come to us today for anything?

Sit down first, you don't need to be so nervous. Dumbledore waved his wand, and two armchairs appeared in front of the big desk, and at the same time, there appeared a small tea table in the middle of the armchairs. Just some very simple things I want to chat with you.

Black tea and refreshments, right? Seriously, your tastes are not at all like young people your age. Instead, they taste like people my age like. After watching Ryan and the others sit down, Principal Dumbledore said , as his voice fell, a pot of black tea and a small dish of snacks appeared on the coffee table.

Thank you for these refreshments. The familiar taste of black tea and snacks at school is always so nostalgic. Although I have only been away from here for a month, it feels like I have been away for a long time. After drinking half a cup of black tea and eating a After some snacks, Ryan put down his teacup and said in a somewhat emotional tone.

Yes, the school will always leave us with some indelible memories. Dumbledore nodded sympathetically, and then said, The reason why I called you in a hurry after you returned to school today is that

There is one thing that needs to be discussed with you.

Ryan and the others leaned forward slightly after hearing Professor Dumbledore start speaking, staring at Dumbledore and making a posture of listening carefully, only to see Professor Dumbledore speaking. I heard that you raided many manors a few days ago.

Yes, you are right. Ryan admitted, In the past month, we have been fighting almost every day. I have to say that the strength of those Death Eaters now mainly comes from their manor. The various products produced and the command of the native British Death Eaters, after destroying part of the manor and eliminating a group of local Death Eaters, we can clearly see that the resistance of the Death Eaters is being weakened, and innocent people are being victimized The number of people has also been greatly reduced.”

I know, I also learned about this information from my sources before. Professor Dumbledore nodded and said. But I must say, boys, that your methods are a little too aggressive.

Radical? Ryan repeated the word, and then said a little puzzled. Do you think my actions are radical? But I don't think my actions are radical. You can even say that my actions are moderate.

Isn't this radical? After raising his hand to help his half-moon-shaped glasses, Dumbledore looked at Ryan's face seriously, as if he wanted to see what Ryan was thinking, You know, The number of wizards who died in the previous month was about the same as the number of wizards who died in the last war when Voldemort was at his most active, which is a huge loss for wizards in Britain.

But, Professor. I can guarantee that everyone we kill deserves to die. Hermione couldn't bear to stand up and argued, The people we killed either had the blood of innocent people on their hands before. Either a deadly spell was used in the battle. It can be said that even if we take so many lives, every kill is to save people.

Yes, I know. Dumbledore shook his hand and motioned Hermione to sit down, and then said, I assure you, I never thought that what you did was for some evil purpose. As a There are people who are over 100 years old, and I can trust my own eyes on that. It's just that I think you've crossed some boundaries in your approach.

Yes, we know that killing is the worst method. Ryan said in a fast tone, but it is undeniable that sometimes this is also the most effective method. For example, now, do you think that in the face of those people who can kill by massacre? Is there any better way to stop the Death Eaters when they are enjoying themselves than now?

Oh—— Dumbledore sighed softly, showing a tired expression at the same time, I know, there are people who can't turn back now, many of them were my students, I really didn't expect the situation It will become like this. I still remember when they entered the school, they were so innocent and lively—

Watching Dumbledore begin to recall the past, Ryan and Hermione looked at each other and did not interrupt him. Ryan knew that Dumbledore had experienced many things when he was young. He lost his parents, sister, and his brother, and he turned against his like-minded friend and lover. So after experiencing so many things alone, Dumbledore did devote all his energy to the students afterwards.

Therefore, the current situation of Hogwarts graduates scuffling is not what the headmaster wants to see. Coupled with the various pressures after the outbreak of the war, Professor Dumbledore is actually under a lot of pressure in his heart.

As the leader of the White Wizard, he can't show his weak side in front of everyone. So now Professor Dumbledore didn't maintain the most powerful white wizard after meeting someone who was at least equal to him in strength. As a result, his mood fluctuated a little, and he began to chatter about some past events.

Ryan and the others did not interrupt, but listened quietly. After all, Ryan knows that if he has psychological pressure, he can find many people to talk to. And Dumbledore's identity is only for everyone to confide in him, and he has no way to confide in others. In the current situation where the situation has been very bad, Mr. Principal must have accumulated a lot of pressure. It is a good thing for everyone to have a chance to confide.
