Chapter 677 I Have Been Thinking About a Question

Time, time can't give Fanlin the answer.

"Would you like some sandwiches?" Dumbledore said. "I think we could sit down and have a potluck or something."

"With pleasure, Professor." Fan Lin nodded.

"I've been thinking about a question, Fanlin." Dumbledore snapped his fingers, and then some sandwiches appeared on the plates in front of them.

"What's the problem, Professor?" Fan Lin asked.

Dumbledore's finger gently tapped the pensieve, "I'm sorry that I have to repeat what I said before, but we have to start from here."

Soon, the scene of the first act was restored in front of the two people.

Karkaroff's panicked face was immediately displayed in front of the two of them, "He is back, and he is stronger than before. Karkaroff knows better than anyone else..."

"And Professor Snape, the magic of the Dark Mark can create an extremely strong sense of connection..."

"Yes." Dumbledore said, "He is back, and this time the signal is more obvious than before."

"We are already prepared, aren't we."

"But this is not enough, Fanlin." Dumbledore said, "Tom recovered much faster than I thought."

"What did you get from Mr. Crouch?" Fan Lin asked.

"Memories, confusing and clueless memories," Dumbledore said. "Memories of the Cruciatus Curse."

"Voldemort did it?"

Dumbledore did not answer, but it was obvious that Voldemort must have been personally involved in such a move.

"He was too anxious, and he hadn't even fully recovered yet. He was a little too ostentatious. I originally thought he would be more low-key this time."

As Dumbledore spoke, the memories in the pensieve were constantly changing. Soon, Dumbledore pulled a figure out of it.

"Barty Crouch Jr.!" Fan Lin said in a deep voice.

Dumbledore didn't seem surprised.

Soon, another Barty Crouch Jr. also rose from the Pensieve. Compared to the Barty Crouch Jr. during the trial, the Barty Crouch Jr. who just appeared appeared to be younger.

"This is Barty Crouch Jr. in my memory." Dumbledore said. He gently tapped the shadow of Barty Crouch Jr., as if he wanted to pop the bubble with his hand. generally.

"What is he doing?"

"Apply for a time turner, just like Miss Granger," Dumbledore said.

The younger Barty Crouch Jr. had pride on his face.

"A very talented wizard, whether in potions or spells. In my opinion, he is not inferior to you or Tom. Most importantly, he is a humble and polite child. .”

"Humility?" Fan Lin looked at Dumbledore strangely, "Sorry, Professor, I don't think so."

"It doesn't matter, everyone has different opinions, but it is worth admitting that as a person who was able to research new spells when he was a student, Barty Crouch Sr. had very high expectations for his son, which also prompted He was good enough. However, not long after that, Barty Jr. joined the ranks of Death Eaters. In fact, most people joined the Death Eaters when they were students, right at Hogwarts. . I had a chance to stop them, but at the time, I didn’t take it seriously.”

"Professor, what do you want to say?"

"I'm thinking about a question, Fanlin." Dumbledore said.

"What's the question, about Barty Crouch Jr.?"

"It's not just that, it's about Tom, it's about Harry, and..."

"It's about me, right?" Fan Lin asked.

"There is no doubt that you are all smart. Although you are not equal in talent, there is no doubt that as long as you are given time, everyone can become a powerful wizard." Dumbledore said slowly .

"No one is destined to be strong, Professor." Fan Lin said, "It all depends on the efforts of the day after tomorrow."

"Efforts acquired the day after tomorrow?" Dumbledore nodded, and then shook his head, "But the powerful way is not the only one."

"But Tom just chose the worst way." Fan Lin said, "And Barty Crouch Jr., he chose Tom..."

Fanlin didn't speak, just looked at Dumbledore quietly.

Dumbledore is just an old man, at least for now.

The failure to educate Tom Riddle left deep scars on the old man.

"I have been thinking about a question: Is there a huge problem with our educational philosophy?"

"Problem?" Fan Lin stopped moving his hands, "This is something that cannot be avoided."

"We only taught magic, but we forgot to teach the principles of life." Dumbledore said.

"It's already changing now, isn't it?"

"But this is not enough." Dumbledore said, "Just like the little wizards in Slytherin House, they are all talented, but what they need more is a positive guidance."

"This is difficult, Professor." Fan Lin said.

"However, this is something that must be done." Dumbledore said, "Magic is really too powerful, so powerful that anyone can easily get lost in it."

Dumbledore stopped talking. In fact, this should not be regarded as his fault, at least not entirely.

However, Dumbledore is different. He is different from other professors. That’s why Dumbledore was able to become the principal of Hogwarts. Perhaps it was just because of Dumbledore’s strength at first, but there is no doubt that, Dumbledore's thoughts can better guide Hogwarts.

The wizarding world is too traditional and outdated, and some changes are needed. Dumbledore is a powerful promoter, otherwise...

Voldemort is a perfect example.

It should be said that it is the most successful and the most failed example in the entire Hogwarts.

Voldemort was so powerful that even Dumbledore was no match for him. In contrast, Voldemort's darkness and evil far exceeded everyone's imagination.

This is not difficult to understand.

Fan Lin, at least I have been studying Voldemort's methods, such as the production of Horcruxes.

Perhaps every time the soul is divided, it means the loss of Voldemort's humanity.

To become purely evil in order to become powerful, perhaps this is the reason why Voldemort is unwilling to have too many connections with himself, just like the Tom Riddle that Fan Lin met in the second grade.

At the very least, that Tom Riddle can still be regarded as a wizard, but he chose a worse path. (To be continued)
