The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 433 The Past
After being kicked out of the office, Harry wandered around the castle in a daze for a long time, and didn't return to the Gryffindor common room until very late.

When he went to have breakfast the next day, Harry was in a daze.He really couldn't accept that his father was the kind of person he hated the most.

His abnormal appearance is so obvious that anyone who is a little familiar with him can see that he is abnormal.After breakfast, under the pressure of Ginny, Harry finally told Ginny what he encountered in the Potions classroom.

Ryan and Hermione also greeted Harry with concern, but Harry only said that Snape felt that he had some foundation now, and he could continue to learn by himself.Ryan probably guessed what happened now, but since Harry didn't want to say he was naturally not a talkative person.

"Does that mean you're not taking Occlumency classes anymore?" Hermione asked, frowning. She had always felt that Harry shouldn't stop being taught by Snape until he had full control over the dreams.Harry, however, seemed a little impatient.

"Okay." Seeing that the atmosphere was getting hotter and hotter, Ryan reached out to stop Hermione. "It's not a bad thing for Harry not to accept Snape's guidance. I think Harry's recent nightmares have something to do with Snape's rough insanity before. Those spells made Harry's brain More fragile, I think Harry can take a break at this time, and it may be better to learn by himself after a while."

"Perhaps, what you said is right." Hermione was finally persuaded to stop mentioning this matter.

With the dismissal of Principal Dumbledore, many articles belittling Dumbledore began to appear in various magazines controlled by the Ministry of Magic. It seemed that Fudge wanted to completely destroy Dumbledore's prestige.

However, unlike the situation after Dumbledore's death in the original book, a living top white wizard cannot be humiliated at will, at least not at the level of those reporters.

In particular, no matter which world you are in, you are a well-informed person who can become a reporter.Now they all vaguely know some news about the extermination of that ancient vampire family and the extermination of the last batch of giants in Europe.In this case, at most they mentioned something vaguely, but they absolutely did not dare to publish something similar to "Albus" as in the original text.Books like The Life and Lies of Dumbledore.

But even this extremely vague description caused an uproar in the wizarding world.People began to pay attention to what Dumbledore, who is considered the most powerful white wizard and the symbol of justice, did when he was young?
Since wizards generally live longer than Muggles, many old people who have experienced Grindelwald's era still survive.In this case, many young wizards at Hogwarts got a lot of stories from their elders about Dumbledore when he was young.

As these news spread, the Ministry of Magic's purpose was partially achieved.A lot of bad news about Dumbledore began to circulate in Hogwarts Castle.

"Is the news about Dumbledore true?" On the third day of the Easter holiday, Ryan was refining a new defense bracelet in an empty classroom, so Hermione pushed the door open and came in, looking at her armpit. From the book in her pocket, she knew she had just come from the library.

"What news?" Ryan gently turned the crimson solution suspended in the air into a bracelet and placed it on the metal table next to him, then turned his head and asked.

"It's about...the stories when Dumbledore was young." Hermione looked in disbelief. "I heard from a girl in Ravenclaw that her great-grandmother was in Godric's Hollow and saw Dumbledore and Grindelwald together when they were young."

"It's not just that." Ryan pulled Hermione to sit down at a table, then looked at Hermione and said. "I know a lot more than you do, and I can tell you if you want to hear it."

Hermione nodded immediately after hearing Ryan's words, and then stared into his eyes.Ryan smiled slightly. It is human nature to seek the privacy of celebrities, and it has nothing to do with the person's age, gender, or personality.

Half an hour later, Hermione sat leaning against the chair with a dull expression.The information she had received earlier was simply unbelievable.From the moment he entered school, Dumbledore declared that love is the greatest power, giving people the feeling of a kind grandfather.But in Ryan's narration, she knew that when Dumbledore was young, he and Grindelwald tried to establish a world where wizards ruled Muggles.This was really hard for her to accept.

"Where do you find it difficult to accept, is it Dumbledore's actions to his family or his idea of ​​trying to rule the world." Ryan took out a tea set and poured a cup of black tea for himself and Hermione.

"Naturally the idea of ​​trying to rule the world." Hermione picked up a teacup and took a sip. "If his sister is the Obscure, I can understand why Dumbledore hid his sister. Thinking about the attitude of wizards towards werewolves now, it is the best choice for him to hide his sister at that time, and in the end he My sister's death was also an accident, and it's not appropriate to blame him completely. It's just that I really can't understand why he had the idea of ​​ruling the world when he was young, especially the phrase for the greatest benefit, which was actually proposed by him."

"It's normal." Ryan also raised his teacup and took a sip. "When you think about the tragedy in his family that was caused entirely by what the three Muggle boys did to his sister, it's only natural that he would hate Muggles in that case."

"But you have to pay attention, even under such circumstances, Dumbledore still came to his senses in the end. He realized his mistakes and personally corrected and made up for the damage he caused, and then defeated his lover in a duel, and then persisted for so many years Doing righteous things and cultivating generations of young wizards. From the results, we can see that Dumbledore was at most confused in the early days, but after he woke up, he has always insisted on justice and fought against various evil forces. This is why I don't agree with some of his views, but I still think he's a great wizard for a reason."

"Yes, our principal is not a god. He will naturally make mistakes. But when he made mistakes when he was young, he corrected them, and finally made up for the losses caused by his mistakes. We can't just deny his mistakes when he was young. His greatness." Hermione came to her senses and seemed much more lively than before. "By the way, the Grindelwald you just said is Dumbledore's lover?"

After figuring out the biggest doubt in her heart, Hermione shifted her focus to a strange direction.

"You heard me right, our headmaster's sexual orientation is not so mainstream. But the wizarding world is much more enlightened than the Muggles in this regard—" In the next ten minutes, the two began to chat about the relationship between wizards and Muggles different places, while accumulating some interesting materials for their magazine.

"By the way, when is the next issue of the magazine coming out?" Ryan asked shortly after talking about the magazine.

"It will be released on time in the middle of this month." Hermione said confidently. "Thanks to the stupid policies of the Ministry of Magic, we have recruited several excellent wizards like Penello. And as people who know both worlds, they have a great advantage when compiling this magazine. Seriously Yes, I think they are capable enough to hold some important positions in the Ministry of Magic. Even the worst one is much better than Umbridge."

"These outstanding wizards go to the Ministry of Magic and can only do the lowest jobs, and they lack enough room for promotion. It is because they are Muggle-born, which is why they are determined to change everything." Ryan said seriously.

"Yes, this matter is indeed worth risking everything we do." Hermione nodded in agreement. "Even if the price is life, whether it's the mysterious man and his lackeys or ours."
