My Classmate at Hogwarts is Voldemort

"Gnar, as your teacher, I'm glad you have your own ideas."

Dumbledore cast a deep look at Nelson, saw that his bound spine was still straight, saw the tears flickering in his eyes, saw the sunshine he gently sprinkled on most people ignored by magic, saw Those minions who are not of the right way in the shadows behind him.

How could he not understand what Nelson was thinking? As the mentor who personally took Nelson on his first step into the magical world, he could see this ignorant but bright boy from a fledgling exploring the unknown under his wings to become like the falcon he saw at the funeral To be strong is to be strong, he put everything on his back and charged towards the swamp.

Isn't this a kind of anger? It's just that this kind of anger is too radical and too gentle.

What is the difference between the former him and the boy in front of him? Dumbledore probably didn't understand until then why Nelson called himself Albus Dumbledore in interviews all those years ago.

"But now, I have something I want to let you know."

He held his wand so discreetly to his throat that the chattering crowd went unnoticed and the sound was only carried between Dumbledore and Nelson.

"You never seem to think of yourself as a wizard," Dumbledore said softly, turning his head to one side, "I remember that when Judge Shafik awarded you the Order of the Garter, your oath only said that human beings— —Thinking of it this way, maybe most people in this world are too narrow, wizards and Muggles...just like left-handed people and right-handed people."

"You have always been so wise, Professor."

"But you should understand that even if the old rules are unreasonable, you still live within them." Dumbledore turned his head, and his expression seemed to be slightly different from before, "You who are blessed by the rules must pay The price of breaking the rules, no matter how many reasons you have."

"I understand, Professor," Nelson nodded. "This is also what I made a decision early on. The wizards' lives changed by the magic factory will not be bound by it in the future."

"That's a good thing, it's just that Gellert... no, Grindelwald, will he agree?" Dumbledore asked himself quickly, "He will definitely agree, and this is The situation he wants to see, but do you know that the next life and death will be handed over to those you care about. If you make any more troubles, they will inevitably have suspicion. No one wants another in this world. A Grindelwald, not to mention that this new Grindelwald was raised by Grindelwald himself."

"Have you forgotten, Professor?" Nelson blinked. "I'm Albus Dumbledore."

"I hope not," Dumbledore and Nelson looked at each other, "You are not me, nor Mr. Nicklaus, you are Nelson Williams."

"Of course I—"

"Listen to me, Gnar," Dumbledore interrupted Nelson, who was defending, and said seriously, "From the first time we met in the Westside Orphanage, I think you and Tom are two different, They are also completely different children. I saw in Tom's eyes his resentment towards the world. He wants too much and has too little. The rare magical talent in the world may become a dark lord who will cause harm in the future, but do you know what it was like when I met him for the first time?"

Nelson didn't understand why Dumbledore suddenly mentioned Tom, but he didn't ask too much, just followed Dumbledore's words and asked, "What is it like?"

"He wasn't surprised by his identity as a wizard at all, and he didn't have the slightest fear of the unknown. Instead, he immediately remembered that he could use this unique power to get ahead. I've seen too many examples like this, Gnar, this This kind of imagination may sometimes become the poison of the world. If the ambition is not controlled, it will expand into a disaster that swallows everything. What is even more frightening is that he really has this ability." At this moment, Nelson seemed to see a full The waist-length old man with silver hair and beard smiled at himself through his half-moon glasses, "But when I pointed out all this, he told me, 'Gnar always said that', but with my many years of teaching experience Look, he listened to it."

"At that time, I was wondering what kind of person the Gnar he said was." Dumbledore stared at Nelson with scrutiny, as if he wanted to see through him from flesh to bone, but he finally blinked eyes, and buried his face in his hands, "I am full of fear for the birth of careerists, because I once created such two careerists with my own hands. Although I killed one of them, the other inherited his ambition." , has become even stronger, and even I am powerless, it is difficult to solve all this."

"professor……"

"At that time, I was thinking, why does a teenager have that kind of eyes, and... why do you know me?" Dumbledore's eyes were very sharp, and even Nelson, who had experienced so much, felt frantic. Jump, "Why do you have that attitude towards me, you know, this shouldn't be the reaction a child who has never had contact with wizards should have."

Nelson's heart jumped into his throat, but Dumbledore immediately said in a tone as if he wanted to convince himself: "Of course, the following story gave me the answer. You are a prophet, and you even see it better than Grindelwald." More and farther, more and farther..."

"But you know what? I've never seen a man's eye look so empty, and though it shines everywhere, it's all from the outside, like a bird surrounded by mirrors on all six sides." When people see it, they will be attracted by the beauty refracted by the mirror, so they forget to find out what is in the box.” Dumbledore’s eyes became very penetrating, just like the one in Troca that day. It was exactly the same when he cast Legilimency in the tavern, "I can't see a little bit of yourself in your eyes, Gnar, under what circumstances does a person care about nothing? Even after everything you do, don't you Is there really any sense of justice driving you? I don’t think so. There are only a few shadows in your heart, and you can’t even hold the flowers, trees, cats and dogs around you. You will feel pity for them, but you never Don't mind them, your kindness comes from your upbringing, but where does this upbringing come from?"

"As if you have lived in a world so beautiful that I can't even imagine it Yes, the more this happened, the more I wondered what kind of person Mr. Nicklaus is, but unfortunately, I don't have such an opportunity." Dumbledore's expression was no longer serious, he smiled, and continued, " Grindelwald told me that you have ambitions in your heart that far exceed his, and I don't believe it, boy, I don't think a man who can't hold anything in his eyes can hold those things."

"It wasn't until later that I finally saw your emotions. The spell of Cruciatus is not something you can release through practice, not to mention that it is so powerful, and the accumulated anger is far beyond my imagination," Nelson clenched his hands violently. Get up, and then slowly let go, the pale traces are struggling to regain blood, Dumbledore looked at Nelson's hand, and said softly, "I finally saw what's in the box, and finally saw your connection with this world, You are finally no longer a passer-by or spectator who is so quiet that I feel scared, you actually have a lot of things in your heart."

"But is that really your own?" Dumbledore's question seemed to strike directly at Nelson's soul, "It belongs to Mr. Nicklaus. I haven't met him, but I know he is a man in the middle of the war. Lost a lot of reporters, his yearning for peace is beyond the imagination of a wizard like us who was born in peace. After his death, you took his dream as yours, so you suddenly became aggressive and left Partly bound by your upbringing, you began to embrace your power, and your magic permeated every aspect of your life. You chose to leave Hogwarts because you were afraid that the easy life of Hogwarts would smooth your edges and corners, You are afraid that you will forget the goal you have set so hard, you become active, no longer practice magic step by step, and turn your attention to older or more future spells, even if you reject Green Devo's magic, but your power becomes stronger at a speed that even I can't understand, I know, you are in a hurry, you want to do all this within a few years, don't say what it is Radical or not, when you really get what you want, what is left in your heart?"

Nelson was silent, his originally gentle expression became serious, and his pair of ocean-like blue eyes were like a dark trench at the bottom of the deep sea at this moment, making Dumbledore unable to see the end.

"As a teacher, I believe that you will not do anything wrong, but have you ever thought about whether all this is too hasty?" Dumbledore sighed softly, looking at Nelson with an equal attitude, "I am not against you , My family also fell apart because of the secrecy law. I was almost ruined by it in the first half of my life. I also know that it is just a twisted product of a twisted era, but even if it is as fragile as a sieve, it is still unavailable now. Missing—did you know? Credence Barbourn came to me and brought the news you wanted to tell me from the future."

Nelson's eyes widened, fixed on Dumbledore's mouth.

"He asked me to stop you, you tell me, now is not the time, everything in the future will be a mess, even if you try your best to be a paper maker, but the world does not become better because of it, but more and more divided , "Dumbledore's eyes were like lightning, and he hit Nelson's forehead hard, making his hands and feet cold, "I once asked him, since the future change is a foregone conclusion, how can I Can it be changed? But he doesn't know the answer either, I tried, but as you can see, I failed, I had an appointment with you on Christmas Eve before, to deliver something to you, I changed the time, made the first try—but you know what? Even that is a foregone conclusion.”

"professor……"

Nelson's tone was flustered, but he felt a force pressing on his shoulder, as if Dumbledore was patting him.

"I haven't been able to change the future, but you may be able to. You are the most disbelieving prophet I have ever met," said Dumbledore softly. "I don't want to blame you. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to." Even better, since you have such a grand ideal, you might as well build it yourself, but you have to know that sometimes it will be counterproductive if you act too hastily, which is why I called this meeting to delay the time."

Listening to Dumbledore's elder-like words, Nelson lowered his head.

"Forgive my nagging, Gnar, I've seen a lot of things, so I'm bound to feel more worried," Dumbledore's half-moon-shaped lens flashed a flash of light, Bai Sensen couldn't see clearly, he paused, He asked in a low voice, "Gnar, can you make a promise to me?"

"What?" Nelson raised his head and looked at Dumbledore.

"I want you to honestly go to Hogwarts until graduation, and see with your own eyes what the world will become after you remove the fences," Dumbledore said with unquestionable firmness, "You can't Take everything on your own shoulders, I think Mr. Nicklaus also thinks so, you have to let people drop their crutches and stand up by themselves, this is the second thing you asked to tell me!"

Nelson's eyes were wide open. Dumbledore, who thought he knew the least about the situation, turned out to be the most sober person. Nelson knew that he still had a lot to say.

"I'm very happy that you choose to trust me in the future." Their eyes met in midair, and Dumbledore seemed to have aged a lot. "But now, can I trust you?"

"I can make unbreakable vows."

"That's not necessary, Gnar," Dumbledore shook his head, "I hope that what you make is your own choice, I don't need you to promise or guarantee anything, even if the world is really messed up, there are still some people who want to clean up the mess However, if it stagnates because of this, I am afraid it will only be hard to return. To tell you the truth, my stubbornness may not be easily persuaded by you or Tom. This is what you want to see and what I want to see. I believe you There is power to change the world—but always remember that you have more to rely on, and I just hope you won't be so alone and so extreme."

Nelson didn't speak, just nodded emphatically.

"You can now declare—"

Dumbledore stood up without the slightest hesitation, the wand slid away from his throat, and the sound spread to all directions in the dark room. Even the attractive walls were not enough to drown out the echo. With his movement, the last chain on Nelson's body broke It split in two and fell to the ground.

"The International Statute of Secrecy, which has divided the world for more than two hundred years, is abolished from today."

When the last chain slipped from Nelson, instead of feeling relaxed, he felt the weight on his shoulders grow heavier.
