Umbridge, who was sitting on the principal's chair, was in a state of ups and downs at the moment. She originally thought that today would be an ordinary meeting, but she didn't expect that Levin's appearance would make her feel like she was on a roller coaster.
In a short period of time, she seemed to be taken to heaven by Levin's decision - the pinnacle of power she had dreamed of. However, she was thrown into hell in an instant and lost the opportunity to obtain Dumbledore's personal belongings.
But now, the inner excitement made Dolores Umbridge seem to be dragged back to the clouds.
She originally wanted to obtain Dumbledore's personal belongings in order to find evidence against him, but now, Levin's analysis has provided her with new ideas. If Levine could be persuaded to agree to make these remarks public - while, of course, tactfully avoiding his last unfavorable remark that hinted at the possible return of the You-Know-Who - she believed she would be able to regain Fudge's good graces.
At the same time, she finally figured out the basis of cooperation between herself, the Fudge faction, and Levin.
In the context of seeking common ground while reserving differences, the common ground between them is particularly prominent - that is, their opposition to Dumbledore. Only at this point can Umbridge count on Levine to stand with her and fully cooperate. However, when other issues are involved, the situation becomes more complex and volatile.
Umbridge's eyes drifted unconsciously to Professor McGonagall, who had tears in her eyes. She couldn't help but think that Mag's experience was quite similar to her own. But the difference is that as a loyal supporter of Dumbledore, McGonagall was obviously pushed into a deeper predicament at the last moment - the other party did not understand that as professors at Hogwarts, they and Levine had common interests. There are more differences, but there is opposition only on Dumbledore's matter - or in other words, Professor McGonagall just cares too much about Dumbledore.
In this incident, Levine obviously benefited the most. Through this series of dialogues and actions, he successfully reversed his reputation in the eyes of the students.
Compared to Fudge, his method was more ingenious. He did not go to great lengths to find or create Dumbledore's crimes like Fudge and himself. Instead, he started directly from the most essential and important point of the other party's career and made his actions On the surface, he appears to be righteous.
Thinking of this, Umbridge couldn't help but feel a little afraid of Levin. Sure enough, the boy in front of her was not only a strong man with great strength, but also quite proficient in planning and plotting.
So, for the next time, she sat on the chair obediently, waiting for McGonagall to leave dejectedly with Dumbledore's belongings.
When the door to the principal's office closed, she cautiously tried in a flattering tone:"Professor Green, we are very grateful for your help today in recycling the principal's office in Hogwarts. I think what you said is all right." Very correct and reasonable. I wonder if you would allow me to publish them in the Daily Prophet so that more people can know Dumbledore's true face?"
Levine did not look back and continued to sort out the books in his hands. He said calmly:"Dolores, if I don't want to, why should I say it in front of everyone?
?"
Umbridge did not realize that she had unknowingly become accustomed to listening to Levin's opinions.
After receiving the permission, her face was filled with unconcealable excitement, and she even began to worry about Levin,"Professor Green, you just reminded me to be careful when dealing with the most powerful white wizard in the world, but if you do this, is it possible?" Aren't you worried about yourself?"
"Of course not," Levin smiled lightly, his voice steady and firm,"In fact, I no longer need to be afraid of them as before."
If someone else had said these words, Umbridge might have thought that the other person was arrogant, arrogant and ignorant. However, the words coming from Levin's mouth made her feel indescribably convincing. , as if that was the case.
She couldn't help but continue to ask:"Then why did you help Mag and let her take those things away?"
Levine put the last book in the suitcase and stood up.
"Just because I'm not afraid of them doesn't mean I want to bully them at will! Just because I'm against Dumbledore doesn't mean I think he's not a good person - it's just the most basic respect for a good person. He paused and continued,"Besides, I don't need to cross the bottom line to completely anger them. Dumbledore is different from Voldemort. As a white wizard, he needs to be reasonable - and I always choose to be the first to do so." Refute him logically and then take action."
After that, he opened the door to the principal's office and walked away.
At this time, the crowd outside the principal's room was still gathering.
Ron glared at Levin's leaving back angrily, and his eyes seemed to be bursting with flames. ,
"How disgusting! He's playing with people's minds, Harry! He is enjoying the feeling that he can control others at will, and enjoying the process of letting other people's emotions change according to his wishes. Ron clenched his fists, his voice full of determination and anger,"I swear, he smiles sinisterly every time people's emotions change!""
It has to be said that Ron is indeed very imaginative in maliciously speculating on Levin. This time he is close to the truth again.
Levin, who has mastered psychic powers, did take the approach Ron said just now - only by being skilled Only Levin who can detect other people's emotions can do this.
The only difference is that Levin does not do it out of any evil intention to play with people's hearts... Well, there is indeed some evil intention, but more of it is Because inciting emotions like this is the most impressive, so that he can fully convey his point of view to everyone's hearts.
Listening to Ron's words, Harry nodded with a look of disappointment.
But unlike Ron, Levin's previous The statement still aroused quite a stir in his heart. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
He recalled participating in D.A.During the event, many senior wizards were unable to help but feel helpless due to their clumsy performance in casting the [Disarming Curse]. At the same time, he is also well aware of the frequent replacement of Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers and uneven teaching quality, which is undoubtedly a major flaw in Hogwarts. Before entering fifth grade this summer, Dumbledore did restrict correspondence with him...
In short, Levin's accusations against Dumbledore were not groundless.
Harry then shook his head firmly, trying to clear the doubts from his mind.
He knew very well that Dumbledore had even lost his position as principal in order to take the blame for him. How could he be a bad person like this?
Since Dumbledore is a good person, Levin should exist for Dumbledore.
In his mind, Dumbledore was the greatest white wizard, and his resistance to black magic was perfectly normal. Moreover, Dumbledore was always so kind to his students, his eyes were always so warm, making people feel endless care, and his heroic performance at critical moments made Harry unable to accept Levin's treatment of Dumbledore. accusation.
He felt that Levin was indeed a quick-thinking and thoughtful person, but he could not require everyone to think about every problem as meticulously as Ravenclaw.
At this time, Ron was still mumbling in his ears:"Look at those short-sighted people! Levin actually wants to promote dark magic in Hogwarts, and they are so happy! Do they really want to become the Dark Lord openly? , to gain the faith of others? Think about the mysterious man, Crouch Jr., and those guys who study black magic, who are they!"
Listening to Ron's words, Harry couldn't help but think of his past. The experience of wandering into Knockturn Alley.
Those dirty, weird, spooky storefronts, the creepy old witch, and the"Powerful Potion" that Levin mentioned all left him with lingering fears. He had also read through that book and obtained the formula for the compound potion from it. However, the painful expressions and howling sounds of the characters in the illustrations in the book made him unforgettable. And Levin actually felt that such books were not enough...
Thinking of this, Harry couldn't help but nodded, and looked at Draco Malfoy and the indifferent Slytherin students standing behind him.
Some of them, if they really learn black magic, will definitely use it to do bad things. Once those ambitious conspirators master this power, the consequences will be disastrous.
Thinking of this, Harry strengthened his belief: Dumbledore is right and Levin's plan cannot be allowed to succeed! He must stand up and defend the purity and justice of Hogwarts!
In fact, Ron and Harry didn't know that their thoughts had been completely known to Levin.
Just like in the principal's office, Levin relied on his psychic powers to understand other people's emotions and pull them arbitrarily. Now, he easily detects the illusions among these little wizards who have not yet mastered [Occluded Brain].[]
Levin smiled slightly and had an idea in his mind, so he suggested:
".It seems that everyone has some doubts about who is right and who is wrong about the teaching methods of Principal Dumble (good) Lido and I. How about this, let's have a competition and prove whose method is more effective. Anyone who wants to can compete with the wizards of the Learned Society. This will be a fair duel, and the facts will prove whether Dumbledore really failed in his duty to improve your strength."
As soon as Levin finished speaking, someone questioned:"But if arcane magic is really that powerful, then there is no need for us to compete! The wizards of the Erudite Society have already learned a lot of arcane magic. How could we win over them?"
This question immediately attracted a chorus of echoes.
"No need to worry. When we spar, we will only use the spells we can learn at Hogwarts."
Facing the doubt, Levine didn't take it seriously at all and responded calmly,
"In this way, everyone can compete fairly. The game time is scheduled for this Saturday at the Quidditch pitch. Students who are willing to come and challenge can come and try. Think of it as the first practical lesson I give you."
As soon as Levin's words fell, a lively discussion broke out in the crowd. Ron and Harry looked at each other, and both saw serious looks in each other's eyes.
They realized that this discussion was not only about personal matters. The honor of Hogwarts is more about the future of Hogwarts.
