Being at Hogwarts, something's not right with this system.

Even without Lin Yu's reminder, Dumbledore knew that Voldemort would eventually make a comeback.

That's why Dumbledore was always on guard.

For example, bringing the Philosopher's Stone from Gringotts to Hogwarts.

How was he able to move the Philosopher's Stone so precisely before Gringotts was attacked?

There is no doubt that the attack on Gringotts was related to the Philosopher's Stone.

It was only because the Philosopher's Stone had already been moved by Dumbledore, and Gringotts hadn't suffered much damage, that the matter was dropped.

Now, Lin Yu said to Dumbledore, "Let's make a bet. Within three years, or even two, I will surpass you. By then, even if Voldemort is resurrected and the Death Eaters rise again, I can wipe them all out with a wave of my hand and suppress them with a single hand."

Lin Yu had such confidence, after all, he was not only a wizard, but also a cultivator.

He can improve his cultivation level with the system's rewards, enhance his divine sense by cultivating the Great Evolution Heaven-Reaching Technique, and continue to research magic.

With his current mindset, if one day he were to actually develop some large-scale magic like Frillie's, what would Voldemort be?

The future will surely belong to him.

So Lin Yu may seem anxious, but he is actually as steady as a rock. He just doesn't want to play it safe anymore and wants to make a bet with Dumbledore.

If Dumbledore can protect him for three years, he will have enough time to grow up.

Now it's up to Dumbledore to choose.

Dumbledore looked at Lin Yu with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, and said, "You really have a wild claim. You actually think you can surpass me in three years? I'm really looking forward to it. So, what do you want me to promise you?"

Lin Yu said, "For the next three years, give Hermione and me the greatest freedom and authority. No matter what we do, you are not allowed to stop us or punish us if we have a legitimate reason. Even if the Ministry of Magic makes things difficult for us, you must step in to help us. At the same time, I can guarantee that whether it is three years later or within these three years, I will take action on anything related to Voldemort. I am on your side."

Dumbledore looked at Lin Yu as if scrutinizing something, and after a moment he smiled and said, "It seems you care about that girl a lot."

"Of course," Lin Yu said without hesitation, "I'm not like Snape, I won't lose my lover."

"He's really precocious," Dumbledore shook his head, feeling that Lin Yu didn't seem like an eleven-year-old. Was it better to say he was mature beyond his years, or was he just too smart?

Only Lin Yu himself knew that he actually had the mindset of an adult.

"Alright, I agree," Dumbledore finally agreed. "This time I won't punish you, and I won't deduct any points. And as long as you make sure you don't do anything wrong, I won't care if you go to the Black Lake again. The condition is that you don't go too far. If students from other houses report you, even if it's just to save face, I'll still deduct points."

With Dumbledore's intelligence, how could he not see it?

Lin Yu said so much and was so eager to show his value, wasn't it all for Hermione's sake?

Otherwise, Lin Yu would just make up some excuse and get away with it like last time.

This kid is quite cunning when it comes to me.

A child who could infuriate Snape to the point of rage, yet still leave Snape helpless.

"And another thing," Dumbledore sighed, thinking of Snape, and said quietly, "Don't provoke Severus any further; he's been living in regret ever since."

"Regret?" Lin Yu didn't think so. He said sarcastically, "So he targeted Harry?"

In the very first lesson, Snape's attitude toward Harry couldn't have been more obvious and blatant.

Dumbledore said with a complicated expression, "Because he hates James, Harry's father. Because James saved Severus."

Lin Yu was speechless: "Are you even speaking human language?"

Dumbledore rolled his eyes. "Their story is complicated. They've had conflicts since their student days. They've interacted and fought each other constantly. Then James and his friends did something wrong and almost killed Severus. James saved him, but Severus thought they were playing a trick on him. Anyway, it's too complicated to explain to you, so why should you care about their affairs? In any case, Snape would never really hurt Harry, I promise. I believe him (Snape)."

Lin Yu shook his head, saying meaningfully, "Do you only care about physical injuries when you think about harm? What if I told you that the psychological damage is even more serious? Do you know about the symptoms of 'silent syndrome'?"

An Obscurus refers to a special kind of dark magic power, which usually occurs in underage wizards.

When a young wizard is forced to suppress their magic due to physical or psychological abuse, they experience extreme emotional distress, which creates a dark, parasitic magical power called the Obscurus.

When they reach their emotional and mental breakdown point, the Obscurians may lose control of their bodies and then release themselves (the Obscurians) into an invisible (or nearly invisible) and highly destructive wind. In extreme cases, their bodies may transform directly into the Obscurians.

Dumbledore remained silent.

His sister, Ariana, was harmed by Muggle children when she was young because her magical talent was accidentally exposed, which ultimately caused her magic to go out of control and prevented her from attending school.

Later, in a sudden and chaotic conflict, Ariana's magic went out of control, ultimately leading to her death.

Ariana suffers from silencing symptoms.

That conflict led to Dumbledore and Grindelwald parting ways, and he also had a rift with his brother that lasted for decades.

Lin Yu asked Dumbledore pointedly, "So you still think Snape's actions were right? Do you know why I dislike Snape? I'm not targeting him as a person, I'm targeting his actions. He got caught in the rain, and then he wanted to tear everyone's umbrellas to shreds. Is that right?"

He still didn't say, "Dumbledore, your sister died, so you're going to kill everyone else's sisters too?"

Does this sound like a word?

Does this seem right?

Dumbledore's face paled. Although Lin Yu didn't say it aloud, he had already thought of his sister.

After all, he could never forget his sister in his entire life.

He once thought his sister was a burden to him, and it wasn't until she died that he regretted it.

Dumbledore was once a close friend and even a lover of the Dark Lord Grindelwald.

Yes, they are each other's true love.

They were once like-minded, and if Dumbledore hadn't encountered that incident, he might very well have become one of the Dark Lord's twins with Grindelwald.

He almost became the man standing next to Grindelwald.

But because of his sister, he eventually gave up his once lofty ambitions.

"Stop talking."
