Dumbledore Logic, this was a new term coined by Eileen and Grindelwald in private吐槽.
Compared to the two Dark Lords who, once cut open, were entirely black inside, Dumbledore still maintained a kind of admirable and praiseworthy naiveté in many aspects, a naiveté that was often masked by the old wizard's superb magical abilities.
Eileen suddenly remembered that if the plot hadn't changed, Dumbledore would stumble several times in the following years due to the same problem, and might not even understand until his death where he went wrong.
In order to ensure the authority of the Ministry of Magic and the controllability of public opinion, even the seemingly docile Cornelius Fudge would sometimes display astonishing decisiveness – Sirius Black, who was never exonerated, Rubeus Hagrid, whose situation became a muddled mess, and Barty Crouch Jr., who had his soul sucked away directly, bypassing judicial procedures...
Just as Eileen once read in a book – the only difference between children and parents is that as time passes, children gradually mature, but parents only grow old and never become mature again.
Even after decades, Albus Dumbledore still couldn't become a seasoned politician.
"Professor, first of all, we absolutely cannot let Peter Pettigrew escape our control... at least until everything is finalized, all the procedures and regulations of the Ministry of Magic are just waste paper, no matter what they say, we cannot hand him over to them."
Eileen raised a finger and looked at Dumbledore with utmost seriousness.
"Second, Veritaserum certainly needs to be used, and the truth needs to be made public, but definitely not in a secret room like this, just letting a few direct parties hear it once – according to the principle of avoidance, all the faculty and staff of Hogwarts, your close friends, and even Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge, are lacking in impartiality on this matter."
"Third, Peter Pettigrew's real role is to detonate public opinion and transfer risk, that's the most important thing. He must undergo a full-scale, formal, and rigorous public trial. This card must have a fatal effect when it is played for the first time, instead of being used to drag us into a troublesome war of attrition."
"You always have your reasons, Miss Kaslana, rational, benefit-weighed reasons."
Dumbledore shook his head and said simply, "But this matter is different. You have completed all the arrangements, so the next thing should return to the beginning, let those who have the right to know understand the truth as soon as possible, let the Ministry of Magic take over the trial, and let those who have been wronged regain their freedom..."
"Hey! So! Did you not listen to any of the points I just made?!"
Eileen vigorously rubbed the big bird in her arms, her cheeks puffed up with anger.
Faced with the increasingly agitated Veela hybrid, Dumbledore calmly explained softly.
"The truth is the truth, justice is justice, these things will not change because of the order of events... Listen to me, Eileen, the law and the process of seeking the truth are not suitable places for showmanship and performance. You have already twisted a part of the truth, so at least try to believe in the rules of this world."
"The rules of this world are the law of the jungle."
Glancing at the headmaster's "righteous" face, Eileen frowned with a slight headache, and secretly kicked Grindelwald, who was silently watching the show, with her little shoe, subtly nudging him.
At this time, the two Dark Lords needed to perform a combined spell.
Although she didn't know why Albus Dumbledore suddenly started acting foolishly, according to past experience, facing the old radish immersed in "Dumbledore Logic," she couldn't handle this stubborn old man by reasoning alone.
Hiss – ouch, ouch, ouch!
Grindelwald, who was happily watching the show from the sidelines, instantly took a cold breath. Although no magic was attached, no one would feel particularly good if they were kicked on the shinbone with a thick-soled platform shoe by a little girl.
Glancing at Eileen's displeased face, Grindelwald helplessly turned to Dumbledore, thought for a moment, and said.
"Hiss, Albus, let me say something fair... there's still something wrong with your approach..."
"I know, just like how you kidnapped Mr. Lockhart without telling me, the method may be inappropriate but the intention is good."
Dumbledore nodded seriously, his azure eyes lingered on the faces of the two petrified Dark Lords, his tone缓和 and slow, as if he was telling a boring after-rain story, without any change in his expression.
"When I was chatting with Gilderoy Lockhart, I heard something interesting. He said that during the reconstruction of the big ship, he found the meaning and self-worth of his life for the first time. Therefore, after the Ukrainian ship is transmitted to Hogwarts, he plans to continue to stay in Destiny and be in touch with these magical missions... Big ship, what is that?"
"It's just a big ship, the kind that can carry people and goods..."
Eileen laughed sheepishly, gesticulating with her hands in front of her chest, the little ahoge on her head swayed left and right guiltily.
"You know, it's quite inconvenient for us to fish in the Black Lake at the moment, using magic is easy to accidentally hurt the lovely magical creatures living in the lake... Besides, in order to maintain the ecology of the lake, maybe we will occasionally need to sail far away..."
"Sounds like it can also be teleported? Nearly a hundred wizards, a huge project lasting nearly four months... it seems to be a quite remarkable project. As far as I know, the Hogwarts Express only took a week to build."
Dumbledore asked with a curious expression, his voice becoming more and more calm, as if he was examining the students' homework.
"Cough, this... is Grandpa's suggestion! He said that his alma mater also has a similar big ship."
"...Gellert?"
"About this, I'll explain it to you in detail tonight... Durmstrang does have a magic ship. It just so happens that there is a ship about to be dismantled on the Muggle side, so Eileen and I simply bought it as a gift for Hogwarts. As for mobilizing so many wizards, and needing Mr. Lockhart, it was also a careful decision made to maintain the secrecy of the magical world."
Grindelwald nodded with a straight face, not at all angry at the little dumpling for passing the buck, but instead looked at Dumbledore very calmly, grinning and briefly explaining a few words.
"Just a big ship? And no long-term magical buildings left behind?"
"Yes, I swear, there is indeed only a big ship. And the whole work is almost at the end of the time, maybe Hogwarts will receive this gift during this summer vacation – Lockhart's ability makes the secrecy work very smooth."
"Gift? Hah. I'd rather you give me a pair of woolen socks than some big ship, that's something little girls like."
"Okay, I'll buy you some later! So, about Peter Pettigrew's matter..." Grindelwald said with a nonchalant smile.
Dumbledore pondered for a few seconds, glanced at Grindelwald's eyes, barely suppressed the unease in his heart, waved his hand irritably, turned and walked upstairs, too lazy to pay attention to the two conniving big and small Dark Lords.
"Haven't you all planned it out? What are you asking me for? Even if I disagree, the 'cunning and experienced Dumbledore' will appear in front of the Ministry of Magic, right?! Anyway, tell me in advance, I'll just seal off the headmaster's office – also, if possible, leave a way out for those goblins..."
