Chapter 72 Three Elements of Destruction: Failing the Exam, Losing Love, and Failing to Find a Job

"I've always been curious as to why you pay attention to Collins, a first-year wizard."

Snape did not suppress the doubts in his heart, "Including my student days, I have lived in Hogwarts for nearly twenty years. Over the years, there have been quite a few young wizards who have secretly studied dark magic."

That includes me!

But Snape had never seen Dumbledore pay special attention to any young wizard. Even if they secretly studied dark magic, Dumbledore only provided appropriate guidance.

Some even turn a blind eye.

At the peak of Voldemort's power, some Slytherin wizards even openly studied black magic and publicly stated that they wanted to join the Death Eaters after graduation.

But Snape didn't see Dumbledore feeling sorry for them either.

Even because they are members of the school, they are protected to a certain extent.

Of course, this treatment will no longer exist after graduation.

"..."

Dumbledore was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "If there is anyone else in the wizarding world today who can reach the heights of Voldemort and I... I think it can only be him."

Snape: "..."

I understand, you didn’t care about me in the first place because I wasn’t qualified enough!

In fact, Snape also knew in his heart that Dumbledore ignored him not only because he was a Slytherin, but also because he intended to join the Death Eaters.

But he is still angry!

"Collins?" Snape looked at Dumbledore. He was only eleven years old. Can you see his future?

"yes!"

Dumbledore felt a little emotional. There was nearly fifty years between him, Voldemort, and Andy Collins.

"Collins has a unique understanding of magic that no one else has."

Dumbledore explained: "Severus, perhaps you will discover this soon."

Snape no longer dwelled on this issue. He gave Dumbledore a deep look and said, "You'd better resolve this matter as soon as possible."

After saying that, Snape turned and left the principal's office.

…

Four days later, Andy once again visited the restricted book area at night.

This kind of peeking happens for the first time, and it will happen countless times, and it seems that it will never stop.

Compared with the ordinary books outside, the books in the restricted book area are indeed full of useful information, and many of them have inspired Andy. Even if it was some 'story books', the contents inside were of great interest to Andy.

Of course, Andy has always restrained himself and never read those banned books related to black magic.

So far, Andy isn't ready to delve into the dark arts.

In fact, many people have misunderstandings about the restricted area, thinking that the books in the restricted area are books related to black magic.

actually not.

The magic books in the forbidden book area are only dangerous for young wizards. If the magic level is not enough, rashly trying the magic above can easily cause magic accidents.

Some damage may even be irreversible.

That's why these books are placed in the restricted area.

After wandering around the restricted book section, Andy took out a book related to human body deformation and read it.

Tomorrow is Saturday, Andy can watch all night tonight, and then sleep all day tomorrow...

Just perfect.

"Human transformation is a very dangerous magic. With your current progress, it is best to wait until after third grade to learn these."

The sudden sound almost scared Andy to death.

Looking up, Andy couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and felt a little happy in his heart.

How long has it been since I finally met Dumbledore?

If you don't come again, I will learn bad things.

Dumbledore was also a little puzzled. You, a little wizard, were captured alive by the principal while wandering at night. Not only were you not nervous, but you also looked happy?

Are you really that arrogant?

Forget it.

You just caused trouble for me. It's only been a few days and you've forgotten?

One of them was a little happy, and the other was a little confused. They looked at each other, and the atmosphere gradually became awkward.

"Ahem! Principal Dumbledore, good evening."

Andy said hello, "What a pity that I got caught by you again."

After speaking, Andy put the book back on the shelf.

It wouldn't matter if he was caught wandering at night. If he peeked at banned books in front of the principal, that would be too arrogant.

Andy thinks he is a good boy.

"Is there anything you don't understand about your studies?" Dumbledore asked kindly.

If you want to say this, I won’t be sleepy.

"A little bit indeed!"

Andy looked at Dumbledore and asked after careful consideration: "Principal, do you think emotions can be fused with magic? Obscurus is the fusion of negative emotions and magic, so what about positive emotions? Can they also be fused with magic?"

"Is the fusion of emotion and magic power a higher level of magic power? Is it like a qualitative change in magic power?"

Or in other words, the unity of spirit, energy and spirit?

It's not impossible.

If there are practitioners like wizards in China, is their so-called unity of spirit, energy and spirit the product of the fusion of emotions and magic?

Dumbledore's eyes changed slightly, but Andy didn't notice it in the darkness.

Speaking of Obscurus, Dumbledore unconsciously thought of his own youth.

The Dumbledore family was destroyed by Obscurus.

His sister is the Obscurus, his father was captured in Azkaban because of her sister, his mother died from his sister's Obscurus outbreak, and his brother's only son is also an Obscurus.

"may be."

Dumbledore said ambiguously: "But that's hard to do. Extreme positive emotions, violent fluctuations in magic... neither of these two is something we can do."

Andy's eyes flashed.

Harry's mother achieved extreme positive emotions, that was her love for her son.

And Harry... at that time he was only about a year old, his magic was very weak and unstable...

But after all, it was not Harry's own emotions, and it was not a fusion of emotions and magic.

"Thank you, Principal."

Andy showed gratitude, and then continued to ask: "Principal Dumbledore, Defense Against the Dark Arts class... is there really a curse?"

"I think so."

Dumbledore nodded, "Ten years after Voldemort graduated, he returned to Hogwarts to apply for a job again, wanting to promote his evil ideas in school, and I rejected him."

Oh my god, Voldemort is idle, right?

You, a dark lord, are you so picky about a class?

Also, why is this plot so familiar?

Failed art student?

Start a world war if you fail to get into the art academy, become the Dark Lord if you fail to find a job?

Think about it carefully, Uchiha Obito wants to destroy the world because his lover died.

This is not only in novels and comics, but also in reality.

For example, Li Zicheng rebelled when he was unemployed, and Wu Sangui surrendered when he was cuckolded...

These problems are really serious!

So, Dumbledore became the guardian of the magic world because he successfully found a job?

What about Grindelwald?

Failed the exam? Broken heart? Failed to find a job?

He should have one of them! ?

"Principal, what about Hogwarts? Is there a curse in the school?" Andy continued to ask.

"Hogwarts?" Dumbledore was stunned.

Andy didn't want to say it too obviously, so he could only hint slightly: "It's that... that... single curse!"
