HP: I just wanted to drop out of school, but I saved the world
Chapter 377 Tired Principal
For Dumbledore, recent events had left him a little tired.
He felt like he was putting out fires everywhere. Just when he put out a flame here, a fire there would start burning again!
Only he himself knew that he had just spent one of the most anxious and tangled summer vacations in his life.
Externally, Voldemort and the Death Eaters occasionally stage terrorist attacks to stir up trouble and try to win over more forces;
There were explosions inside from time to time, and Jian Yu, who was worried about it, almost got himself killed while sending away the dwarf.
And at the same time——
There is also a highly unstable factor, a person who gave him a heart-wrenching experience at the age of over 110, who is at large.
Moreover, the other party acted without scruples. After the brief encounter in Azkaban, he seemed to have completely given up hiding his whereabouts...
From time to time, newspaper reporters took photos of Grindelwald swaggering around the European continent and the UK:
Some are buying a newspaper, some are buying a glass of butterbeer...
This caused him to constantly receive letters from the Ministries of Magic in various countries requesting arrests, and the wording was becoming increasingly harsh, as if it were a hot potato.
Even the good-tempered Dumbledore couldn't help but curse:
Could it be that wizards like them could be caught whenever they wanted, and could Nurmengard imprison them whenever they wanted?
He understood that since the other party chose to end his self-imprisonment and leave Nurmengard, he must have a new purpose.
Although he had sensed the other party's regret for what he had done in his youth since their brief meeting in Azkaban...
Even though half a century had passed since the final battle, time had slowly helped him to let go...
Even the Flamels confirmed to him that Grindelwald's actions and intentions were very different from the past...
He still often couldn't help but think the worst:
Is this seemingly compensatory behavior another conspiracy hidden behind confession?
But his most valued child and student, Jian Yu, clearly had ideas that were contrary to his.
In fact, not only did she not stop him, but she actively urged him again and again and created opportunities for him to meet Grindelwald.
First, she made them meet under the pretext of rescuing Voldemort, whom she had foreseen invading Azkaban;
Then, she used Umbridge's behavior, the special envoy, the Death Eaters, and the graduates to let him see and hear the serious consequences of the poor teaching quality of the Defense Against the Dark Arts course, and expressed her intention to hire a high-quality professor to teach this course.
Doesn't he understand what she's thinking?
"Defense Against the Dark Arts" means that he should guard against the dark wizard who has done deep research on dark magic!
She was just using other people's words to hint to him again and again that he needed to keep Grindelwald under control on campus!
He didn't understand why she didn't speak out...
But after thinking about it, he understood why she couldn't tell him who she had in mind...
——Because that is the name of a fugitive prisoner from Nurmengard that should not be spoken openly!
——Because she thinks speaking frankly might hurt his feelings!
He knew Jian Yu's clear mind, accurate judgment of the situation, and sharp vision -
Her suggestion of hiring Grindelwald as a teacher was entirely in their interest...
Firstly, as the Death Eaters were making a comeback, she knew very well that she must not let a wizard as powerful as him be left stranded outside!
Such an overly powerful wizard, as a huge destabilizing factor, is enough to change the outcome of the entire war...
She needed to make sure that there was no possibility that the other party would join the Death Eaters or take advantage of the damage done to both sides!
Secondly, she also knew that in times of war, every improvement in the skill of Defense Against the Dark Arts would reduce the risk of death.
She cares deeply for her classmates, and she hopes that they can learn to protect themselves from Dark wizards.
Therefore, for her, she will strive to win over anyone who can unite to protect her classmates and teach them how to deal with danger!
Thinking of this, Dumbledore couldn't help but sigh.
He watched her grow at an alarming speed.
In just one summer vacation, she first persuaded him to unite with Grindelwald who had escaped from prison with hints; then she established a deep friendship with the Minister of Magic and attracted talents in the wizarding world to develop magic equipment; and then she successfully lured the enemy's top leader, the Malfoy family, to become intelligence personnel...
And this was only the first day of school, and she began to mobilize the children of those neutral families!
Such initiative and courage made him feel deeply moved for a moment.
What touched him even more was her ability to control everyone's emotions.
She grasped Grindelwald's guilt and repentance, and she understood that only if he made the invitation to teach would the other party be willing to accept.
She also grasped what he had longed for all his life after the tragic loss of his youth - family affection, and gave it to him.
This made it almost impossible for him to refuse any of her requests.
He understood that he actually had no choice.
Jian Yu's countermeasures are the most suitable for the current situation and their interests, and can greatly increase their chances of winning...
After all, the wizarding world can no longer withstand another round of bloody terror and baptism of storm.
Her heavy expectations of him became the last straw that forced him to make up his mind.
He finally extended the invitation.
......
The invitation was accepted faster than he could have imagined, so fast that it made Dumbledore feel uneasy.
The additional condition proposed by the other party regarding Jian Yu's stay in school made his anxiety even worse.
This made him doubt himself:
People can't, or at least shouldn't, always fall into the same trap as the same person, right?
He thought that his judgment shouldn't be that bad?
In a trance, he shook his head, and his sight suddenly returned to the Hogwarts Great Hall. For a moment, he felt his head hurt even more.
On the first day of school, he was almost too busy to do anything.
He had just finished arranging a 360-degree castle defense with the professors, and had handled an explosion with ease. He was just about to return to the auditorium to host the late opening ceremony...
Soon after, Jian Yu presented him with a big gift, but he couldn’t tell whether this gift was a surprise or a shock.
What made her happy was that she had initially won over the children of those neutral families...but what shocked her was the fanaticism in those students' eyes.
He was well acquainted with the fanaticism of this kind of group...
Because the last time this kind of craze came from the hands of this old friend of his!
And when he turned his head, Grindelwald's "interested look" clearly reminded him of his strong interest in what Jian Yu did!
This made Dumbledore sit up straight!
He knew him very well. When he gave this kind of look, usually nothing good would happen!
The vague uneasiness immediately broke out and fermented rapidly in Dumbledore's heart, making him think worriedly:
Although he did control the two unstable factors that had a great impact on the current situation in Hogwarts...
The old one made an unbreakable oath with Nico as a witness, and most likely would not harm students or help Death Eaters...
The younger one was his most cherished child, and he had sole custody of her early on...
but--
If these two unstable factors are put together...
The two of them secretly teamed up to incite the students while he wasn't paying attention...
Are we going to blow up this thousand-year-old school, Hogwarts?
