Hogwarts: Why do you call me the Demon King?

Isaac was puzzled; he genuinely didn't understand.

Why would Voldemort, instead of trying to resurrect someone with the Philosopher's Stone, hire someone to mess with a little wizard?

Just because Dumbledore was willing to pay for his own things?

Damn it, Dumbledore was willing to pay for Grindelwald's expenses, so why isn't he going to Nurmengard now?

If Dumbledore hadn't died, would Tom have dared to go?

Damn it, isn't this bullying honest people?

Since Tom was being so impolite, Isaac naturally wouldn't be polite to him either.

He immediately said to Dumbledore, "Professor, how about we form a group and invite Senior Tom over?"

Why don't you ask him yourself why he arrested me?

Dumbledore: ? ? ?

The amount of information in Isaac's words was absolutely explosive.

His statement implies that information about Voldemort, which had been hidden for 11 years, was now in the possession of an 11-year-old wizard.

The young wizard also invited Voldemort's only fear to quickly run the "Dark Lord's Remnant Soul" dungeon.

Isaac's prophecy... seems more reliable than Gellert's.

For a moment, Dumbledore even wondered if Grindelwald had lied to him in bed.

Chapter 26 Quirrell

Dumbledore had more experience with prophets than anyone else.

Just as Grindelwald predicted the great technological advancements of Muggles early on, the idea of ​​"for the greater good" was proposed by Dumbledore based on this.

As a result, Grindelwald put Dumbledore's ideas into practice.

But he became the one who stopped it all.

Grindelwald's personality led him to always focus on grand narratives when making prophecies.

For example, the torrent of history, the development of humankind, and the awkward situation of wizards.

He rarely used prophetic methods to explore the lives of "ordinary people".

Grindelwald is proud.

Unlike Grindelwald, the second prophet Dumbledore met was Professor Sybil Trelawney.

Professor Trelawney possesses prophetic blood, but her prophecies are sometimes accurate and sometimes not.

The active skill that Grindelwald possessed became a passive skill in Trelawney's hands, and the way the skill was triggered was also random.

Moreover, Sybil Trelawney's prophecies were not straightforward, but rather "vague prophecies" that were very characteristic of prophetic pronouncements.

The prophecy she made during Dumbledore's interview was:

The one with the power to conquer the Dark Lord has approached... Born into a family that has defeated the Dark Lord three times... Born at the end of the seventh month...

The Dark Lord will mark him as his formidable adversary, but he will possess energy that the Dark Lord does not understand...

One must die at the hands of the other, because neither can live; only one can survive...

The one who possesses the power to conquer the Dark Lord will be born at the end of the seventh month...

Having witnessed Grindelwald's prophetic methods, Dumbledore felt that Sybil Trelawney was undeserving of her reputation.

But this unintentional prophecy made Dumbledore realize that Sybil Trelawney was truly capable.

It's simply beyond her control.

That doesn't matter. As long as there's this prophecy, Dumbledore can get the Hogwarts board of trustees to support her.

Professor Trelawney is a typical example of someone who lives off a single statement for life.

Dumbledore thought Isaac's prophecy was either like Trelawney's or Grindelwald's.

But reality proved that Isaac is Isaac, and his prophecies are unlike anyone else's.

In fact, after learning that Isaac possessed the gift of prophecy, Dumbledore did consider asking Isaac to predict Tom Riddle's current situation.

But he eventually gave up on this tempting idea.

The first thing to consider is that Voldemort has already suffered a great loss in terms of prophecy.

He's not a magnanimous person.

If this person can curse the Defense Against the Dark Arts professorship that he can't possibly obtain, there's no guarantee he won't use some kind of dark magic to block the prophet's predictions.

Besides, Isaac was just a minor wizard, a minor wizard who was very much like Grindelwald.

As people get older, they start to have their own selfish desires. For the past few decades, Dumbledore's mind has been mostly filled with thoughts of the magical world.

But the remaining small portion should at least have its own place to go.

He never expected that Isaac would so casually bring up the matter of finding Voldemort.

"Son, are you serious?" Dumbledore stared at Isaac, finally confirming.

"Of course, his Death Eaters have come knocking on my door, so am I supposed to be all friendly with him?"

Isaac knew very well that apart from magic itself being fairytale-like, the entire British magical world was a complete mess.

Voldemort was a real troublemaker.

It's unclear whether his mind was damaged by the dark magic first, or whether he was simply not very bright to begin with.

If Voldemort were to return, it would be detrimental to everyone.

That's right, it's the distinction between everyone, not just pure-blood wizards, half-blood wizards, and Muggle wizards.

Don't be fooled by Voldemort's claim of pursuing pure-blooded heroes; the things he did...

Do those pure-blood nobles really want to be Voldemort's servants? Are they some kind of lowlifes?

"There's no time to think about that, Professor! Voldemort has returned!"

They're currently hidden within the British magical world!

"Tell me, where is he?" At this moment, Dumbledore truly showed Isaac what the greatest wizard of our time was.

The Elder Wand was held in Dumbledore's hand, and the white-haired professor straightened his aged body.

His imposing presence instinctively made Isaac take a half step back.

Although Isaac took a half step back, his eyes were "fervent".

That's right, that's right, that's exactly it!

This is the kind of aura that Isaac believes the greatest wizard of our time should possess.

To deal with Tom, you need the same kind of "I'm going to drag you out and beat you to death" attitude as Dumbledore.

Back then, he didn't back down when facing Voldemort and Dumbledore, who were both unharmed. How could he back down now when faced with a mere remnant soul?

"Quirinus Quirrell, Voldemort is right there on the back of his head."

This guy went to the forests of Albania and brought back the remnant of Voldemort's soul.

“Quirinus…” Dumbledore’s expression was somewhat complicated.

Quirinace Quirrell is a professor of Muggle Studies at Hogwarts, a class notoriously weak at the institution.

Although the wizarding world is somewhat isolated from Muggle society, the two are not completely separate.

Every year, Hogwarts enrolls young wizards from mixed-race and Muggle families.

Young wizards who are interested in Muggle society will naturally seek them out and ask questions.

Those who aren't interested won't choose this course for Muggle researchers.

Moreover, wizards' understanding of Muggles is far behind; Muggles are developing rapidly, and wizards simply cannot keep up with their pace.

In other words, Quirinus Quirrell, during his time as a Muggle Studies professor, was a minor figure in the Hogwarts professors' group and was not valued at all.

That makes sense, otherwise Quirinus Quirrell wouldn't have been able to get a teaching position at Hogwarts so easily.

Last academic year, Quirrell quit his job to travel and study, to broaden his horizons and gain practical experience.

Dumbledore supported this, having also studied abroad and gained practical experience.

Then, during this holiday, Quirrell asked Dumbledore for the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

This position is inherently difficult to fill.

Dumbledore had a lot of influence and knew many people. But even with so many people, it couldn't withstand the drain of having one professor every year.

Remove those who are not good at teaching, those who are not good at Defense Against the Dark Arts, and those who have taught at the school before.

For the time being, Dumbledore was genuinely worried about who should be the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts.

Just then, Quirrell's job application arrived.

In the letter, Dumbledore asked several questions about Defense Against the Dark Arts, which Quirrell answered perfectly.

Some of the answers even surprised Dumbledore.
