Everyday Players at Hogwarts..

Chapter 316 Ryan's Curiosity

“Tom, how do you feel about your first time as a professor today??”

"Also, which college did you just say you would be assigned to?"

"Well, why don't we talk about that wonderful magic?"

Dumbledore was obviously trying to change the subject.

He said this to Riddle in an almost pleading tone.

Logically, as a part of Voldemort, he should be happy to see Dumbledore's humble expression.

But, for some reason, he just couldn't be happy.

Lupin next to him also truly understood one thing - that is how much Dumbledore trusted Riddle.

"Then let me talk about this."

“As a professor, I feel a great sense of accomplishment. The feeling of instilling my ideas into others is even stronger than when I was developing a community.”

"I finally understand why I didn't give up the position of teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts many years after I became the Dark Lord." Dumbledore and Lupin showed different expressions on their faces after hearing Riddle's answer.

Lupin's face was defensive; he knew what society Riddle was talking about.

Its name was the Order of Walpurgis, the predecessor of the Death Eaters, an organization that was 'disbanded' as soon as Voldemort graduated.

Dumbledore's face showed relief, as he had 'seen' this lesson through some magic.

Perhaps people who are not aware of the content of this class will think that this knowledge is very dangerous and should not be known by young wizards or even ordinary wizards. It is the taboo knowledge that Grindelwald uses to "brainwash" his subordinates.

But Dumbledore saw the difference between Riddle and Grindelwald.

Grindelwald only emphasizes the danger of Muggles, but not their vulnerability.

In Grindelwald's eyes, Muggles and wizards are two opposing groups.

In Riddle's eyes, based on what was on his screen and what he said in class, he simply regarded wizards as Muggles who could use magic.

Dumbledore saw hope and redemption in Riddle.

A bad boy who went astray, before he had the chance to make any real mistakes, he came to his senses and turned back.

Perhaps feeling a little uncomfortable after being looked at by Dumbledore, Riddle continued, "As for the new college I just mentioned, isn't it obvious?"

"I think I'm more suitable for Ravenclaw now."

Riddle spent the rest of the session talking a lot about his own character and the direction he thought his course would go next.

Lupin also took his leave first.

After all, he had said what he wanted to say.

And although what Riddle taught was all related to the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

Lupin is also the teaching assistant for this course.

But in reality, his position was just a reason for him to return to Hogwarts.

His job responsibilities were not actually precisely planned.

According to Sirius, Lupin's main responsibility was actually to keep an eye on Snape to see if he was trying to murder Harry.

Yes, it was Snape, not Voldemort.

Although Sirius already knew Snape's undercover identity.

But in his opinion, Snape was still much more dangerous than Voldemort - to Harry.

He thought Snape was James' enemy.

Snape might guarantee Harry's life for Lily's sake.

But in other respects, Sirius was very skeptical.

As for Voldemort, with Dumbledore, Sirius was not so worried. He was worried at first, but after that birthday, he didn't know what he said to Dumbledore.

This gave him trust in Voldemort.

This trust may not be as great as that of Professor McGonagall and others, but it is far greater than that of Snape.

After Lupin left, Riddle's voice stopped abruptly.

Or perhaps he stopped talking about the topic just now. After a moment of silence, Riddle said the last suggestion that Dumbledore had made at the beginning, "Do you have any idea about that magic?"

"Sometimes I hate myself for having such a smart head."

"From the fake Philosopher's Stone, I learned how to retroactively display images of what happened in a place - just like the class you just took."

"And this time, I have basically mastered it—" Dumbledore suddenly stopped mysteriously.

"Mastered what? To what extent?" Riddle was obviously very dissatisfied with Dumbledore's riddle-like appearance.

"You will find out tonight," Dumbledore said happily.
There was no doubt that Ryan was aware of everything that happened in the principal's office.

Or rather, he was ready when he met Luna and got to know Ginny.

This is due to two reasons.

One of them, of course, is the matter of the crown.

Ryan wondered if Dumbledore could break it.

This magic is actually not very profound.

Especially for level 6 wizards.

Dumbledore should be able to master it as easily as he learned the magic on the Philosopher's Stone.

But Ryan was a little surprised. When Dumbledore was studying the crown, the will of death did not appear again.

Dumbledore studied magic that could shake the foundations of the afterlife, but He seemed completely unconcerned.

Could it be that He believes that only wizards can become ghosts after death, and compared to Muggles, the death of wizards is not important to Him?
However, the ghostification of objects can develop into the ghostification of life.

Did He think Dumbledore couldn't reach the next level?
Ryan was a little disappointed by this.

This meant that his plan to wait for the Grim Reaper in the real world had failed.

Another reason why he had turned his attention to the headmaster's office was that he had long guessed that something interesting would happen to Fudge.

Especially since he and Umbridge dared to target Voldemort.

Even though this Voldemort is a younger version, it doesn't mean that people like them should be provoked.

In the original world line, they were able to provoke Dumbledore.

That's just because Dumbledore is a good guy.

And because Dumbledore deliberately stayed away from power, he was not aware of their tricks.

Otherwise, Dumbledore would not have been forced to leave when Harry was in his fifth year of school.

If he knew about all the bad things Fudge had done, he would probably force Fudge to step down and replace him with someone more reliable.

To be honest, Ryan did not expect Fudge to be so brave as to betray the interests of the British wizarding world.
So much so that even Bones, who doesn't like to cover up or gloss over the truth, suppressed the specific details of Fudge's resignation.

You know, in the wizarding world, the gap between countries is even more obvious than in the Muggle world.

You can be incompetent, corrupt, and embezzle money, but there is one thing you absolutely cannot do, and that is selling out your interests to the wizarding world of other countries.

Ryan was actually looking forward to what Dumbledore's expression would be when he knew all this.

He chooses people to do so.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Ryan has been staring at the principal's office.

However, Ryan was now as curious as Riddle about what would happen at night.
To what extent did Dumbledore master that magic?
