"Albus Dumbledore's brother, Aberforth, returned home angrily from Hogwarts, blaming his brother for not fulfilling his responsibility to take care of his sister Ariana.

After expressing his emotions for a moment, Levin continued,

"As for Grindelwald, he believed that Ariana's condition would become a stumbling block in their pursuit of greater interests. As a result, a fierce conflict broke out between the two brothers and Grindelwald. In the chaotic interweaving of magic, the innocent Ariana Unfortunately, he was struck by a curse, and his life was frozen at that moment forever."

Levin paused and looked at Harry deeply, "I have to tell you, Harry, I have a friend in Germany who has reviewed the interrogation records about Grindelwald and found some subtle clues in them."

This friend is, of course, the current principal of Durmstrang, Rowena Ravenclaw.

This heroic spirit from a thousand years ago was indeed quite interested in the two Dark Lords of this era. After going to Durmstrang, he tried every means to conduct research on what Grindelwald had done.

He paused and continued: ""Seven-forty-zero" Harry, I personally think that the fatal curse was probably cast by Dumbledore himself unintentionally during the melee. Grindelwald knew the truth, but he chose to remain silent , I guess he is trying to protect Dumbledore. Although Dumbledore is a great Gryffindor, he still does not have the same courage for everything. The thing he fears most in his heart is to face this cruel truth."

Levin sighed, "However, this is all self-deception. The truth will always be revealed to the world, it's just a matter of time.

After saying this, Levin pulled out a piece of paper from the internal information of the Ministry of Magic and showed it to Harry, "This is the information I obtained from the internal information of the German Ministry of Magic. It records the details of the time. You can take a look.

Harry took the paper and read it carefully. His heart was heavy and complicated. On the one hand, he was saddened by Ariana's tragedy, and on the other hand, he felt sympathy for Dumbledore's pain and self-esteem.

Levin looked at Harry for a while, and then said: "When Dumbledore was asked what he saw in front of the Mirror of Erised, he answered wool socks. Harry, the metaphor of wool socks is family affection. It seems you didn't understand the code. But. I personally think it was more likely that what he saw in the mirror was Grindelwald."

After listening to Levin's explanation, Harry suddenly understood. He felt a wave of shame well up in his heart, that he could be so easily controlled by others' emotions and thoughts with just a few words. He took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner turmoil.

Levin sensed Harry's thoughts, and he exchanged a knowing smile with Luna in the distance like a mischief.

Then, he turned to Harry, with a teasing smile on his lips, and said, "Harry, do you know why I don't like Gryffindors other than Hermione?"

Levin's words made Hermione next to her blush unexpectedly.

She was immersed in the story of the Dumbledore family, and was suddenly mentioned directly by Levin, which made her feel a little at a loss.

In order to maintain her dignity and reserve in front of her friends, she had to pretend to be serious and picked up a spoon and stirred the milk tea in front of her to hide her embarrassment.

Harry didn't pay too much attention to Levin directly telling him that he liked Hermione. After all, it was no secret in the academy.

He was more concerned about Levin's attitude towards Gryffindor.

So, he asked curiously: "Do you hate Gryffindor?"

Levin was a little distracted looking at Hermione's cute movements, but he came back to his senses when he heard Harry's question.

He replied readily: "Yes, I don't like Gryffindor. In fact, I hate Gryffindor."

He paused and continued: "Actually, Harry, don't you have some tendencies in this area yourself? Think about it, you have just received Dumbledore's asylum not long ago, but because of those reports, you clearly know the author You were confused by reports about others. Think back to your experience in first year, second year, or even this semester. Whenever you and other Gryffindor classmates had different opinions, how they mercilessly excluded and opposed you. Yours. Remember in first grade, Hermione studied harder than all of you, and because of this, she was ostracized."

Levin's voice revealed a deep sense of helplessness and dissatisfaction,

"I feel that your Gryffindor house is really bad at tolerating heterogeneous people, and it is also the most difficult house to make real friends. You are too easily affected by the surrounding environment, or in other words, you are too impulsive and often unwilling to calm down. Use your own mind to make good judgments. What's worse is that once you decide that something is right, you are never willing to look back, no matter how others persuade you, it will not help."

Levin looked at Harry's gradually thoughtful expression and continued: "You are like this, Ronald is like this - even though he had a good relationship with me in the lower grades - and other Lanffindor classmates are like this too. Even Dumbledore himself, Sometimes we fall into this kind of blindness and stubbornness.”

Speaking of this, Levin sighed, "I have always believed that among the four houses, the one who should be at odds with you Gryffindor the most is actually our Ravenclaw. It's just that for many years, you and Slytherin have always regarded each other as mortal enemies, and even this With Dumbledore's encouragement, it has almost become political correctness in Hogwarts, which has actually covered up the conflicts between you and us. However, Harry, I hope you can understand that true friendship and companionship are those who are willing to listen. You, people who understand you and support you. Not people who exclude you and oppose you just because of a little difference."

Harry opened his mouth, but found himself speechless. Levin's analysis was like a sharp knife, pointing straight into his heart, making him unable to avoid it.

He lowered his head in shame, his personal experiences over the past few years replaying rapidly in his mind like a movie.

In the first grade, he did get points deducted from the college because of his behavior and was ostracized by his classmates. At that time, he was just a freshman who had just entered the magical world and did not understand the rules. It was understandable that he made mistakes. Yes, it is reasonable to be excluded...

However, the Chamber of Secrets incident in the second year, the Sirius incident in the third year, and the registration for the Goblet of Fire, until recently when he warned everyone about the return of the mysterious man, "the reaction of the Gryffindors chilled him."

It can be said that among all the houses, Gryffindors have the most people who believe in him, but there are also just as many people who oppose him in Gryffindor - the reaction of his Gryffindor classmates on this matter is even more intense than that of Slytherin. It was also more hurtful - his roommate, Seamus, had to admit his mistake only after hearing the news about the Death Eaters' escape from prison, and started talking to Harry again. All of this made Harry feel extremely lonely and helpless.

"Headmaster Dumbledore's full name is Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore." Levin's voice sounded again, "Albus comes from Latin, meaning white; Percival is King Arthur's Round Table One of the knights, representing courage; Wulfric means the strength, cunning, ferocity of the wolf, and self-sacrifice for the wolves; Brian comes from the ancient Celtic language, meaning nobility; and the last Dumbledore is a variant of a wasp, and to me, he's like one of those annoying babblers and hummers that's impossible to ignore."

Levin's expression revealed his deep disdain for Dumbledore. He started belittling him by name and almost told Harry the secret information about the prophecy - it was about Dumbledore's truth after discovering that Harry was Voldemort's Horcrux. Plan, this plan Dumbledore once confessed to Snape.

"The same goes for Dumbledore, Harry." Levin's voice was full of disgust, "Because of his own tragic experience, he took everyone and everything into it, and always thought that he was doing a just cause. He wants to control everyone by any means necessary. Harry, he wants to control everyone without any scruples - even himself."

Levin paused and continued: "Just like the dark magic we just mentioned, Dumbledore took away the books he thought were dangerous because of 'the facts he believed in.' He was under the guise of 'protecting students from dark magic' Under the banner of "harm", he hid these books and let them rot in the corner. He had no regard for the founder's original intention of setting up the forbidden book area, and the good intentions of successive principals who continued to add to the collection. Because he thought he had found it A correct path means making choices for others without permission, and being generous to others...

Levin's voice gradually became deeper: "Harry, according to our Ministry of Magic's investigation, the reason why the mysterious man is single-minded in doing evil is because he is the product of his mother's use of love potions, and he cannot feel love. From this perspective , actually I don’t hate him, not at all. The fight between me and the mysterious man does not come from hatred. "I am not going to fight him because of hatred."
