Chapter 185 Dumbledore, the Lord of the Wizarding World?
Dumbledore was a very selfless man in a broad sense.
Willing to sacrifice everything, even his own life, for the future of the magical world.
However, his own moral obsession is actually greater than these so-called lofty goals to a certain extent.
Even in order to defeat Voldemort and other conservative forces, he is not willing to give up some ridiculous persistence.
In the original world line, for his own moral obsessiveness, he allowed the Fudge faction to hold him back and was unwilling to touch power.
He refused to use his influence and used his strength to make the Ministry of Magic operate in a better direction.
Even if his innocence is later proven, he will not liquidate the backward reactionary forces.
Just like when Voldemort was just defeated, he adopted an appeasement policy of turning a blind eye to the two-faced people who joined the Death Eaters to whitewash their own methods.
Therefore, even if Dumbledore was very powerful, he could become the Minister of Magic if he wanted to.
Malfoy and his ilk also dared to show off in front of him.
A cowardly person like Fudge would dare to fall out with him.
A person who follows him unequivocally and thinks like him, no matter how outstanding he is and no matter how many contributions he makes, he can only sit on the bench in the Ministry of Magic.
Because no matter how wise and resourceful Dumbledore was, he could not hide his political cowardice.
He has exposed his underwear in front of the enemy.
They all understand that as long as they don't directly kill people and set fire, no matter how serious the trouble is, they can use political means and gold galon to clean themselves up.
Without having to face the greatest white wizard directly.
This seemed extremely ridiculous to others, and even to Voldemort himself.
But only Grindelwald knows why.
Dumbledore was not like this in the past. His smart brain and superb talent for magic gave him a real desire to stand out and be dazzling.
After getting together with him, I had a so-called greater goal.
Even if he is aware of the sacrifice and cruelty in the plan, he still chooses to ignore it.
Be willing to work hard for a greater goal.
He is also not afraid of power like a snake or a scorpion.
It was because of Ariana's death that Dumbledore began to fear contact with power.
Afraid of becoming the same person again because of contact with it.
Because I took care of a disabled sister and a wayward brother, I was filled with resentment and pain.
Think you are trapped and wasting your time!
This is why, after defeating him and saving the wizarding world in Britain and all Europe, he refused the position of Minister of Magic.
Dumbledore saw power as his weakness, his temptation.
He was safer - from the world - at Hogwarts as a teacher.
Therefore, he is extremely harsh on his own selfish desires.
In addition to satisfying his craving for desserts, he refused to enjoy any other enjoyment and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the plan to defeat Voldemort.
But now, Grindelwald began to doubt his own ears.
What did he hear?
Living with myself, the Dark Lord who threatens the existing magical order?
This is selfish desire, the most obvious selfish desire!
Ariana's resurrection brings back the old Dumbledore?
Grindelwald chose to observe in secret.
But what happened in the next few days shocked him extremely.
[Daily Prophet: The recent false scandal about Aberforth Dumbledore was investigated by our reporter. Therefore, Erich von Manstein’s true identity is Dumbledore’s distant relative in Germany 】
[Witch Weekly: Ariana Dumbledore, the same name as Albus Dumbledore’s sister, a descendant of the Dumbledore family, and the cousin of Erich von Manstein at the center of the recent scandal.]
["European Magical Education Assessment": Hogwarts rises again and the Dumbledore family returns again! .Erich von Manstein, Hidden Dumbledore, Denial of Durmstrang]
"Hey, Albus and I are grandsons?" Grindelwald's pupils trembled.
But in his view, the point is not the content.
Instead, famous newspapers in various countries all unified their coverage in just one week.
But this can only reflect Dumbledore's international influence.
The mythical scandal wants to be clarified.
Dumbledore could still get it done even if he wasn't involved in politics.
But there is no comparison between Harry Potter and Lily Potter.
It took so long for Harry Potter to ascend to heaven in public.
It also resurrected Lily Potter.
But the strange thing is that this matter was covered up in the first place.
The Ministry of Magic personally took the stand and declared that this was a magical accident.
The Quidditch Association, which has nothing to do with this, even came forward to announce that Harry Potter would participate in the game.
Lily Potter must be embodied and remain in the audience.
Two people cannot sit on one broom.
Authoritative experts and professors in various fields came forward to explain.
Some of them were familiar to him and valued even after being imprisoned for more than forty years.
You must know that experts and professors are not like traffic stars. The older they are, the more senior they are and the more authoritative they are in the corresponding field.
But now they don't want to be old-fashioned and stand for Dumbledore.
Everyone's opinions seem to be different.
But when combined they look so unified.
All in all, Lily Potter was not resurrected.
It's the ancient magic of love - at the expense of one's own soul.
The reappearance of Lily Potter is a ghost-like product. The difference from ghosts is the influence of the magic energy of love, which makes her more like a living spell.
The scene that matches the Bible is also because Lily Potter is a Muggle, has relevant education and beliefs.
God and angels do not exist.
This cannot be explained by influence.
"Has Albus never changed? Has he secretly mastered the entire wizarding world?" Grindelwald completely doubted his life.
Unlike Grindelwald, all the students of Hogwarts were attracted by the affairs of Snape and Harry's mother.
Colin, who was called a mudblood, and Crabbe, who called others mudblood, were completely ignored.
The status of substitute players, which was originally to be abolished after coming to their senses, was retained in this way.
Even other colleges have learned in a similar way.
Ron from Gryffindor took advantage of the opportunity to become a substitute player and was allowed to train with the Quidditch players.
He was lucky that Wood, the oldest player, was only in the sixth grade.
There is only one vacant position, and he has to be tall enough to be a goalkeeper, and he has to wait two years before he can play.
No one competes with him.
And more people don't even notice the news of recruiting substitute players.
The existence of Lily Potter and the transformed Snape are the center of the topic of Hogwarts.
The focus of everyone's attention.
Even among ghosts.
"It's over there, look."
"Where?"
"Next to Nick who is almost headless."
"Why is Nick following her."
"Don't you know?"
"The ghosts want to be as alive as Mrs. Potter."
"When the holy light shines on the whole Hogwarts, someone noticed that the ghosts also regained their blood color."
"That's not called holy light, it should be called the light of love. Didn't you see the report? That's the energy of love."
Recently, Harry has been suffering from this kind of trouble.
Unlike the unknown incarnation lurking in the shadows.
The semi-independent angel incarnation with his mother's identity, he chose to keep it outside.
Instead of storing it in his body.
But this is bad. Through the common sense, Harry can feel everything his mother is doing now.
Chasing her whispers, students standing on tiptoe to look at her not far away, and all kinds of ghosts who are trying to talk to her.
These make Harry extremely troubled. He has a strange illusion that an old father sees his younger brother and daughter entering the society.
Obviously he is the son.
But these are just minor problems.
The reason why no student dares to talk to his mother - Severus Snape, is Harry's biggest trouble.
As soon as he has no classes and has time, he will come to his mother on time and say hello to her.
Chat, talk about childhood.
But his mother is also curious about her childhood and the memories she has lost.
Harry can't stop it.
"Bajir, what do you think I should do?"
He had to ask Bajir for help, a good friend who even now he feels is unfathomable.
"You don't have to worry at all." Basil shrugged, "Mrs. Potter is not an independent existence. Even if she really falls in love with Snape, she will overrule her own opinion because she cares more about you."
"But. If mom really likes Snape, I won't stop it, I will only bless you." Harry tried hard to suppress his nausea.
Basil raised his lips playfully, "Even if you can feel Snape's kiss, touch, or even take a step closer?"
"You can't expect them to have a platonic relationship forever."
Harry nodded heavily, "Even so."
Puff! Basil held her stomach, "Okay, I'm not kidding."
"Mrs. Potter, that is, your mother, can't possibly like Snape."
"Unless you like men."
Harry didn't care about being angry, "What do you mean?"
Bagir explained: "Now Mrs. Potter, in addition to her own mark, also comes from you."
"So she is both your mother and you are her father."
"So." Harry was relieved, "My mother won't be with Snape? Great!"
"You're still too happy." Basil reminded, "In my opinion, Snape is easier to deal with."
"He himself didn't expect to be with Mrs. Potter, and keep the current situation. This kind of relationship is the limit of his heart. "
"Those ghosts are trouble."
"Nick?" Harry was a little confused, "He's fine."
Bajir woke up his throat, "This year's Halloween is Nick's 500th birthday."
"By then, Hogwarts will be full of ghosts from all over the world."
"No ghost does not want to enjoy food, touch and hug others like normal humans like your mother."
"It's October now."
"Although Halloween is on November 1st, the corresponding Halloween dinner and Nick's death anniversary dinner will be chosen on the night of October 31st."
"That's okay. What can they do?" Harry didn't care.
He was not arrogant, his subconscious told him that in this castle, only Bajir could not deal with him.
The rest, including Dumbledore and Grindelwald, were not a threat to him.
Bajir said seriously: "They can't be eliminated."
"At most, it will be petrified and sealed. No magic can completely eliminate ghosts."
"Their souls and magic are completely one."
"It has properties that cannot be consumed or divided like magic power."
"And not every ghost is as kind as Nick."
"We walk through the ghost's body and it just feels like we're in an ice bath."
"It's because we are wizards."
"Muggles are not as resistant to magic as we are."
"Ghosts can become powerful by taking the lives of Muggles. Then they are called ghosts."
"A spirit that is closer to death, can show the appearance of decay and death, and sounds like an evil bird that makes people lose their mind."
"They're absolutely disgusting."
"You can imagine that half of the face is rotten and full of maggots, revealing the pale skeleton. It suddenly appears behind you and roars with a putrid smell."
"This is why the existence of ghosts is only heard in Muggle legends and is rarely seen in the wizarding world."
"Every wizard who sees a ghost will choose to seal it. Even if his skills are not high enough, he will report it to the Ministry of Magic."
"The Ghost Office of the Ministry of Magic is actually mostly dedicated to suppressing them."
"To us, they are like annoying excrement, dung bombs that automatically track their targets."
"We will not be harmed by it, and we can also use magic to drive it away."
"But the fact that they are in front of us is disgusting."
"The bad thing is, in a large group of ghosts, the ghost can play the role of ghost perfectly."
Harry felt a little disgusted, "Will my mother's presence attract those ghosts to this death anniversary dinner?"
His eyes suddenly lit up, "Are they afraid?"
"Is it okay if I torture them with a curse?"
Harry thought about the guy in the shadow that he was going to seal away for the rest of his life (he didn't know he was immortal).
That venomous snake is a dark magical creature with an ugly face like Voldemort.
Unlike his mother, who was semi-independent, this dark creature was completely under his control.
But because of this, he was unwilling to use him.
He seems to be the embodiment of his dark side, and seeing him is like seeing the ugliness in your own heart.
Bagir shook his head, he guessed what Harry was going to use.
"Ghosts are okay. You can scare and torture them through words and magic."
"But any ghost that can degenerate into a ghost is a ghost."
"If you torture them, they will be happy."
Bajir himself would be in trouble for them.
The ghosts and ghosts in this world are really a bit like those in fantasy novels.
If they weren't weak compared to wizards and had a single approach, the world would have been dominated by dead wizards.
After every wizard grows to what he considers to be the best stage, he will choose to commit suicide and then refuse to go to the afterlife.
Bajir can imagine this future - if ghosts and ghosts can use magic.
Harry was a little annoyed, "Then what should I do?"
It's okay for him to be disgusted by ghosts.
He didn't want his mother to see those dirty things.
Bagir pursed his lips, "Look over there."
"Snape?" Harry was confused.
"Yes, that's him." Bagir nodded, "You can tell him your concerns and let him help you drive away ghosts."
"This way you don't have to worry about getting your eyes and ears dirty."
