Chapter 106 What You Love
"Ariana Dumbledore."
"Gryffindor!"
As the Sorting Hat announced the result, warm applause broke out at the Gryffindor table.
The prefect Albus Dumbledore stood up excitedly and shouted to his companions around him: "That's my sister! You know? I'm her favorite brother!"
His good friend, Elphias Doge, was also happy for Dumbledore.
"You've shown off plenty of times."
Dorje said, "The whole school knows you have a sister!"
"Hahaha! Doggie, I can hear your jealousy!"
Dumbledore laughed loudly, seeming a little carried away.
Ariana was bounding towards the Gryffindor table when Dumbledore waved at her.
"Come here!" he said, "and sit with me."
But Ariana just glanced at her brother, snorted, and then walked to the other side of the long table.
There sat her other brother, Aberforth Dumbledore, who had just entered his second year.
Dumbledore felt embarrassed, laughed awkwardly, and sat down.
"Didn't you say you were her favorite brother?" Doggie suddenly asked.
"Something happened."
Dumbledore evaded the question with some hesitation.
"However, from now on, your sister can probably walk around Gryffindor as she pleases."
Doggie said, "You are the prefect, and Aberforth is also very good. With two brothers like these, who can hurt her?"
"Yeah yeah……"
Dumbledore murmured, repeating Doge's words, "Who could hurt Ariana? How could he bear to hurt her..."
The young Albus's blue eyes were slightly absent-minded.
……
"Ola——"
In the Room of Requirement, the phantom Superman summoned by Bruce let out a battle roar.
He bent his body and gathered his strength, with his arms hanging low, like a hunter ready to strike, and then rushed towards the enemy with a fierce attack like a hurricane.
The silver steel claws scraped across the ground, creating a series of sparks.
Ravenclaw kneaded some clay and threw it casually, and it turned into several magical creatures to resist Superman's attack.
Phantom Superman's offensive is unstoppable.
He tore the creatures made of clay into pieces again, and howled towards the sky like a hungry wolf in human form.
"Avada Kedavra!"
Ravenclaw suddenly extended his index finger, and a green light hit the illusion superman.
Illusion Superman puffed out his chest, dispelling the green light without any harm.
This soul-destroying death curse has no effect on the guardian spirit.
At this moment, it really had a bit of the meaning of a body of steel.
"Quite interesting."
Ravenclaw became interested. "You can use the Patronus Charm to such an extent. Bruce, how many surprises do you have that I don't know about?"
"None of your business, old woman."
While the illusion Superman was fighting, Bruce did not stand still. He rushed towards Ravenclaw from another direction.
"Ravenclaw, there is one thing I still don't understand."
As Bruce rushed forward, he didn't forget to talk some trash.
He had long since mastered his skills. His mouth was his mouth and his fists were his fists, and they did not interfere with each other.
But it was different for Ravenclaw. Every time her attention was drawn, her chances of winning would increase.
"You are the founder of Hogwarts, why do you want to invade Hogwarts?
“Isn’t this the greatest achievement of your life?
“If you look back now, Hogwarts will not blame you. Even if you want to be the headmaster, Dumbledore may consider it.
"Why are you making an enemy of Hogwarts!"
As he spoke, Bruce had already accumulated all the magic power in his hands.
Just as he had expected of magic, he attached the magic power to his fists and then punched out with all his strength, each punch hitting the flesh.
Let Ravenclaw be the first to taste this power today!
"An enemy of Hogwarts?"
Suddenly, the Ravenclaw turned his head and looked into Bruce's eyes quietly.
Bruce's fist was already in front of her.
However, the Ravenclaw just raised a finger.
Bruce's figure suddenly became distorted, and then disappeared from the spot.
Then, Bruce appeared in the corner of the Room of Requirement and punched the wall hard.
"hiss--"
He covered his hand, overwhelmed with pain.
But what shocked him even more was the method used by Ravenclaw just now.
If I'm not mistaken, that's Apparition!
However, when Ravenclaw casts it, he can teleport the enemy away instead of targeting himself.
This……
Bruce's heart sank. Didn't this mean that he couldn't get close to her at all?
"Bruce, you just said that I was the enemy of Hogwarts?"
Ravenclaw stood in the distance and shook his head, "No, you are wrong, it is Hogwarts that is against me.
“It failed to live up to my initial expectations and became what I least wanted to see.
“In that case, why not just start over again?
"Hogwarts can be destroyed, but it can never be corrupted!"
……
“Brothers and sisters!”
In a dark cemetery, Grindelwald stood in the center of a stone platform, surrounded by countless of his followers.
"I know why you came here, to seek new things, a new order!"
“Yes, we are given power, and this power gives us the right to rule!
He said loudly, and thunderous applause broke out all around.
Then Grindelwald pressed his palm down, signaling everyone to be quiet.
"but!"
Grindelwald changed the subject, "We rule over Muggles, and we also shoulder the responsibility for them.
"We seek dominance not for revenge against Muggles, but because we can bring greater benefits to the world—"
Having said this, he lowered his head and looked towards the front of the audience stand.
Dumbledore was standing there, smiling and clapping softly.
With this encouragement, Grindelwald spoke the second half of his sentence.
“——We want to bring love, truth and a better tomorrow to the world!”
Having said that, Grindelwald suddenly became dazed.
Can a better tomorrow really come?
……
"Bruce, I didn't really do anything to you just now."
Ravenclaw stood quietly in the center of the Chamber of Secrets, looking at Bruce who was completely buried in the wall.
In order to prevent him from shooting red stars from his eyes again, two stone hands extended directly from the wall and covered Bruce's eyes.
The battle is over.
Bruce struggled continuously but could not get rid of this blockade.
The illusion Superman has disappeared long ago, and the outcome of this battle is already determined.
Bruce no longer has any chance of making a comeback.
"The combined magic you just performed proves to me that you are qualified to enter the new Hogwarts."
Ravenclaw said, "As long as you are willing to stay in this world forever, I can train you as the next headmaster."
"Why are you always thinking about building a new Hogwarts!"
Bruce asked, "What's wrong with the current Hogwarts? Why do you have to destroy it?" Ravenclaw said with a smile: "Then I want to ask you, what's good about the current Hogwarts?
“Bruce, when I returned to this world, I immediately investigated this era.
“I was very disappointed with the result.
"A thousand years have passed, and the magic world has not made any progress. The ancient magic has even been lost!
"At this moment, Hogwarts is doing nothing! Because it is occupied by a bunch of fools.
"I died of depression because I couldn't get over my daughter's betrayal and I couldn't wait for her to change her mind.
“This is a bloody example, but you haven’t learned any lesson at all.
"Whether you are a teacher or a student, you are still indulging in your own obsessions instead of focusing on improving your magic.
"How can Hogwarts be run well with people like this together?
“Look at these balls of light. It’s just a small dream, but it has made everyone unable to extricate themselves.
"Such a fool is not worthy of entering the next era with me!"
At this moment, Bruce finally understood Ravenclaw's purpose.
The so-called "there is no relief for fools" is not a punishment or an experiment, but a test.
Only those who wake up from the dream on their own initiative can gain the recognition of Ravenclaw and enter the new world with her.
A world where all wizards focus on magic, guided by the wisdom of Ravenclaw.
"So, you're not trying to prove that love is wrong?" Bruce asked.
"Of course not. Only a brainless person like Godric would think so."
Ravenclaw looked at the ball of light surrounding him, "I have hated his broken mouth since a thousand years ago. In order to make him shut up, I used some tricks and sealed him in the room.
"It wasn't easy. We had another fight, but the power got a little out of control and the whole school was wiped out for two hours because of it."
Bruce immediately realized that the Ravenclaw was referring to the two missing hours.
"How could you do this?"
"This is magic, Bruce." Ravenclaw said, "Are you so unfamiliar with time magic now?"
Bruce didn't know how to answer.
He really doesn't know time magic.
Having said this, Ravenclaw no longer had any interest in continuing.
"You deliberately came to chat with me and delayed for so long, but it seems that the reinforcements have never arrived."
She said, "You're not really doing nothing, are you just waiting for a miracle to happen?"
Hearing this, Bruce finally smiled slightly on the lower half of his face that was still exposed.
"of course not."
He said, "Ravenclaw, haven't you noticed something is wrong yet?"
"What did you do?" Rowena frowned.
"When did you have the illusion that I didn't use the illusion spell?"
Suddenly, Bruce, who was trapped in the wall, disappeared out of thin air.
The Ravenclaw turned around suddenly, only to see Bruce standing not far away with an owl standing on his shoulder.
They were all looking at her quietly.
owl!
Ravenclaw suddenly realized.
Yes, since when did owls disappear from my sight?
He is so conspicuous!
On the other side, Bruce and Katum, who seemed to have everything under control, were having a fierce argument.
"Why did you mention the illusion spell!?"
Bruce accused loudly, "If you hadn't told us, we could have kept her trapped for a while longer!"
"That's enough, don't treat Ravenclaw like a fool!"
Katum said, "And I really want to say this line!"
When did you have the illusion that I didn't use the illusion spell?
How handsome!
"Hey wait!"
Owl suddenly realized a problem, "That sentence seems to be said in your image?"
Oh shit!
Katum suddenly jumped up and strangled Bruce's neck with his wings.
You give me such handsome lines!
At this time, Bruce no longer blamed Katum.
He found that it felt really good to say this himself.
Ravenclaw felt a little ashamed at this moment.
How could I be trapped in an illusion created by a twelve-year-old child?
Doesn't this mean that Bruce has outwitted her intellectually?
Ravenclaw can't accept that!
Of course, she didn't know that a certain owl had also made a small contribution.
"Did you leave this flaw on purpose?"
Ravenclaw said in a bad tone, "Did you leave an owl flaw on purpose so that I wouldn't notice it?"
Bruce instinctively shook his head. He didn't mean it.
Katum's temperament was so abstract that Bruce's scalp tingled at the thought of him, not to mention creating hallucinations.
But if you let Owl do it himself, he will keep exaggerating.
So in the end I had to give up and simply eliminate the owl from the illusion.
But Bruce immediately stopped.
What obligation do I have to explain to Ravenclaw?
"Yeah, that's what I mean!"
Bruce said confidently, "You didn't even notice such a big flaw, Ravenclaw, you're not that smart, you're not as smart as me!"
You're not that smart...
The words kept echoing in the Ravenclaw's head.
"Bruce Wayne!!!"
Ravenclaw could no longer maintain her previous dignified demeanor, she wanted to kill Bruce as soon as possible!
"You're in a hurry!"
Bruce yelled and stepped back.
Ravenclaw's anger almost solidified into substance -
"The Wrath of God!"
The loud eagle cry resounded throughout the castle, and a blood-red eagle appeared in the secret room.
The moment the Blood Eagle appeared, the surroundings instantly became gloomy, and dark red blood energy filled the entire room.
Bruce only ran a few steps before his lips began to turn pale. He felt weak all over and his skin gradually wrinkled.
He felt the blood in his body disappearing.
"What's going on?" Bruce asked weakly, "What's going on with the red patronus?"
"I have no idea!"
Katum told the truth for once, he really didn't know!
However, although the situation now seemed critical, Bruce knew that he would no longer be in danger.
Because they are coming.
At this moment, two silver phoenixes flew through the wall and into the Room of Requirement.
One came to Bruce, wrapped him in warm light, and protected him.
"And me, protect me too!"
Katum let out a strange cry and plunged into the light of the guardian angel.
The other phoenix, on the other hand, seemed very aggressive and directly fought with the blood eagle in the air.
Ravenclaw immediately realized what had happened. She turned her head to look at the pile of light balls and found that two of them were empty.
"How did you do that—" the clever Ravenclaw asked a question that she really couldn't figure out.
"Because how can the small love in dreams compare to the great love in reality!"
Bruce said loudly, "So what if it's just a dream or an illusion? With their intelligence, they can see through it quickly!"
You can’t get true love in a false dream.
No matter what decision the two old men made in their dreams, they are back now.
Back to this imperfect world.
Katum nodded in agreement.
“What you love is your life!”
