LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 52: Open And Honest
"I don't think there is any need for any intersection between us, Mr. Dumbledore." Evans said neither humble nor overbearing. There is really no need for any intersection between Evans and Dumbledore, Dumbledore is his headmaster, and Evans does his job honestly.
Due to the relationship of the Presbyterian Church, Hogwarts will definitely not be able to escape the surveillance of the Presbyterian Church. But no matter as the headmaster of Hogwarts or as a famous wizard, no one would like to have someone else's spy under their noses. No one can guarantee whether the Presbyterian Council will take any action against Hogwarts in the future.
Rather than get rid of Evans who has been exposed, and then the Council of Elders will send another difficult wizard to Hogwarts, it is better to maintain the status quo, Evans has been exposed anyway.
As for courting, Dumbledore never thought about it. Evans is a member of the Presbyterian Church. Even if he agrees, do you dare? Even if you ask, can Evans help fight Voldemort? As long as Evans does anything that has nothing to do with his current status, he will immediately will be noticed. So Dumbledore wouldn't even think about wooing him.
As long as Evans behaved at Hogwarts, Dumbledore would not bother him. The double-story classroom he was living in now, if Dumbledore hadn't acquiesced, where would he have lived?
Therefore, Dumbledore had already prepared for Evans' indifferent reaction. After all, it is best for the two of them to keep a distance and not interfere with each other. Spend time with Vince.
"Let me deal with the Philosopher's Stone first, and then find a time to talk about it." Compared to Evans, Solim deserves Dumbledore's attention. In the past, Dumbledore only guessed that Voldemort might have made a Horcrux, but he has been struggling with There is no real evidence to prove this, but Solim gave Dumbledore a big gift after Christmas, and he temporarily gave the Resurrection Stone to Dumbledore, which clearly proved that Voldemort really made Horcruxes. But how did Solim know that the resurrection stone is a Horcrux? What is his purpose in moving Voldemort's Horcrux? You must know that a wizard with a background like Solim, as long as he is not clearly against Voldemort, Voldemort will not pay attention Their. Moving Voldemort's Horcrux meant walking to the opposite side of Voldemort.
Voldemort can't affect families like Selwyn at all. What is the reason for Solim and Elrond to do this? What motives do they have? If they are just curious about Horcruxes, they can study them by themselves. If the resurrection stone is interested, it will be hidden and will not be known to others. But they gave things to themselves temporarily, does that mean that they want to get something from themselves?
Dumbledore doesn't have any property, so what is the purpose of their courtship to him? Since the last time he met Solim, Dumbledore has been guessing why Solim gave him the resurrection stone. First of all, it is definitely not the Elder Council who can't see Voldemort anymore and wants to kill him. Even if the Elder Council wants to solve Voldemort by their own hands, they will not let a little wizard come in contact with him. Secondly, Solim has a strong sense of justice and wants to remove the scourge of Voldemort from the wizarding world, but Dumbledore's investigation and observation of Solim have shown that he does not have such a will. After much deliberation, Dumbledore can only guess that Solim or Elrond needs something from him, so what things or information do they need?
A family like Selwyn must have more resources and information than Dumbledore himself, and what Dumbledore has and what they don't have is the Elder Wand. Dumbledore himself knew that it was no secret that he had the Elder Wand. After the duel with Grindelwald, the Elder Wand had been in Dumbledore's hands. This was something that many people knew.
And in view of the fact that these two people have been searching for holy artifacts, this news cannot be concealed. Some people in the wizarding world believe in the legend of the Deathly Hallows. Wizards who believe in the Deathly Hallows are called "Saints". Of course, Dumbledore and Grindelwald are also considered members of the Saints. During the communication, of course some information will be leaked out. Besides, I can’t hide from people like Selwyn that I have the Philosopher’s Stone here, and I’m getting older. Do they want to take away the Elder Wand after I die? The price is to help Get rid of Voldemort himself? Dumbledore thought it necessary to have a good talk with Solim, an honest talk.
Seeing Dumbledore contemplating, Evans said: "Since the work here is over, I should go back and write that damn report. But Mr. Dumbledore, if you can, please take care of these ignorant things Little guy, let them stop causing trouble." For the Gryffindor students, Evans has a lot of resentment. Nearly a quarter of his extra work is caused by these Gryffindor students. For this, Evans Adams has a lot of opinions. Taking this opportunity, Evans hoped that the headmaster, Dumbledore, could restrain them more or less and make them behave.
Hearing Evans' words, Dumbledore smiled: "We shouldn't deprive them of the fun of their school days, which will be a precious treasure in their lives."
Evans twitched the corners of his mouth, expressing his disdain. If you don’t care about it, just say it directly. Do you think I’m stupid if you still do this with me? With a wave of his hand, Evans just left the two of them here, and left first .
Watching Evans disappear from sight, Dumbledore turned to look at Solim: "Can you tell me what you think, Solim?"
"Thoughts? Thoughts on the Philosopher's Stone? Thoughts on Quirrell? Thoughts on Voldemort? Thoughts on Harry Potter? Thoughts on the whole thing?" Solim asked back.
Dumbledore heard Solim's words, and said to Solim: "...〖You know? You are different from almost all the little wizards I have ever met, and you remind me of someone...
"Voldemort." Solim said exactly what Dumbledore was thinking. Voldemort taught Dumbledore too many lessons. When he clearly had the opportunity, he sat and watched Voldemort grow. After he was out of Dumbledore's control, it was too late to restrict Voldemort. It can be said that Dumbledore is responsible for a large part of what Voldemort did in the wizarding world. But this is not the reason for his cranky thinking.
"Yes, Voldemort." Dumbledore looked at Solim, "but I know that you are different from him, but there are always similarities between outstanding people. I am not surprised that you can see the problem with Quirrell, but you Don't you have any thoughts about Quirrell either?"
Solim knew that Quirrell was at Voldemort's mercy, but he didn't want to. He resisted, but apparently failed. What he did on the court reminded the professors that someone wanted to harm Harry, on the one hand, and more on the hope that the professors would notice his (Wang Li's) mistakes and save himself from Voldemort's hands come out.
But people who know there's a problem with Quirrell don't care, and people who care don't know there's a problem with Quirrell. Like Dumbledore and Solim, they knew Quirrell wasn't willing, he was just coerced by Voldemort, Voldemort was attached to him, and sometimes he had no choice. But these two people pretended not to see Quirrell's problem, ignored it, and ignored his life or death. And decent people like Professor McGonagall, Harry, and Hermione, when they knew about Quirrell's problems, "would have figured out a way to get him out of Voldemort's clutches.
There are consequences to everything you do, can Quirrell be saved? After drinking unicorn blood, he is basically not saved. Basically, it is impossible to save, that is to say, if you really want to save, you can still save, but the price is too high. And even if Quirrell is saved, how long can he survive after being physically and spiritually injured? It's better to act as if he doesn't know anything and let things develop step by step, so as to avoid unnecessary complications. That's what Dumbledore and Solim thought. .
