After dinner.
Erwin arrives at Dumbledore's office.
"Pot-fried pork!"
The office door slowly opened.
Erwin walked in.
Dumbledore sat at his desk.
Seeing Erwin coming, he put down the quill in his hand.
“You’re here!”
Erwin nodded. "Professor, if you're willing, I'm interested in your spell that transmits sound directly into my ears. Could you teach me?"
Dumbledore smiled and said, "Of course! Please take a seat."
Erwin sat across from Dumbledore.
Dumbledore folded his hands on the table.
A blue glint flashed in his eyes.
It's gone in a flash.
Then a look of surprise appeared on Dumbledore's face.
"Exquisite Occlumency!"
Erwin smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Professor. However, if word gets out that you used Legilimency on a student, it will surely cause an uproar in the wizarding world! Dumbledore, the most powerful White wizard of this century, actually used Legilimency on a freshman at Hogwarts. This shouldn't be the first time the professor has used it on me!"
A cold glint flashed in Erwin's eyes.
Knowing that Dumbledore was coming back.
How could Erwin not make any preparations?
He had studied Occlumency with Snape.
As an expert in Occlumency, Snape's simple explanation allowed Erwin to upgrade his Occlumency to level four.
Dumbledore said: "I'm sorry, I just want to know some truth!"
Erwin spread his hands. "It's a pity to disappoint you, Professor! Now if you want to use Legilimency on me, you can only take your wand and touch my forehead. So, Professor! Are you going to do that?"
The hand holding the wand under Erwin's robe exerted a little force. In his other hand, although the muzzle of the gun was covered by the robe, it was already pointed at Dumbledore's abdomen from under the table.
Dumbledore shook his head: "There's no need for this between us. I just helped you out of a big mess, didn't I?"
Erwin nodded. "That's right, I'm very grateful to you, Professor! You allowed me to witness a feast of magic. Your power not only protected me, but also defended the dignity of Hogwarts! You warned all the villains. Under your protection, Hogwarts is still the safest place!"
Dumbledore leaned back in his chair. "Well, let's talk then! Erwin!"
Erwin said, "Of course. I wonder how the professor would like to discuss this?"
Dumbledore said, "I'll get Ron back!"
Erwin nodded. "As you wish, Professor! I never thought of doing anything to Ron. He's a student at Hogwarts!"
Dumbledore looked at Erwin. He didn't expect Erwin to give in so easily.
Erwin seemed to see the confusion in Dumbledore's eyes.
He smiled and said, "Professor, you don't think I'm going to get Ron expelled, right? I told you there's not that much hatred between us! Besides, Ron has never been taken seriously by me. No matter what he wants to do, or what you want him to do, it has nothing to do with me!"
Dumbledore said, "What do you want, Elwin? Or rather, what do you want?"
Erwin said, "Professor, what do you think Ron can bring to me? It's not that I look down on him, but there's really nothing in Ron that I would covet!"
Dumbledore thought for a moment: "Are you targeting the Weasley family?"
Erwin shook his head. "Professor, everyone knows that the Weasley family is your loyal subordinate. I don't think I can do anything to the Weasley family just by relying on Ron. I just need to accumulate some strength to protect my life!"
Dumbledore said: "Your current behavior reminds me of someone!"
Erwin laughed, "Who? The Dark Lord?"
Dumbledore shook his head. "Grindelwald! He's even more terrifying than Voldemort. He knows how to use all power to achieve his goals! He's ambitious and capable! He's adept at manipulating people!"
Erwin said, "Saint, I have long admired Grindelwald. Professor, you think too highly of me! I am not as good as Grindelwald. Everything I do is just to make myself safer! After all, Professor, you know a lot of things that even I, the person involved, don't know. You know the dangers I face! I have to prepare early! I don't want to die in obscurity like my parents one day!"
Dumbledore nodded: "I understand. Ron will return to Hogwarts next week. I hope you won't target him!"
Erwin said: "I never targeted him. Like I said, Ron was never taken seriously by me!"
Dumbledore shook his head and said, "Not enough. I hope you can restrain the Slytherins!"
Erwin laughed and said, "Professor, what makes you think I can control the preferences of all Slytherins? They are complete individuals, complete people!"
Dumbledore said, "State your terms, Erwin! We both know you can do this!"
Erwin shook his head, "No, I can't be a professor!"
Looking at the stubborn Erwin, Dumbledore also felt a headache.
The prerequisite for negotiation is that the other party has to talk to you, but Alvin has no intention of talking at all now.
Dumbledore had no idea where to start.
Dumbledore said, "Elwin, before I came back, I went to the Burrow and met Ron!"
Erwin nodded. "Yeah! I guessed it. Then what? Professor, you want to tell me that you also used Legilimency on Ron and saw what I said to Ron? And then you want to tell me that you know something that is enough to ruin my reputation? But professor, will you expose him? Which one is more eye-catching, a scheming little wizard, an evil little wizard, or a headmaster who uses Legilimency on students?"
The corners of Erwin's mouth curled up. In fact, he had already simulated in his mind the possible situations that might arise in the conversation with Dumbledore.
Dumbledore's use of Legilimency on Ron was also within Erwin's expectations.
If you want to know what's going on between Alvin and Ron, there are two easiest ways.
Legilimency and the Pensieve.
As for the Pensieve, Alvin was certain that Ron would not be able to learn it, and he might not even be able to learn it by the time he graduated.
As for Legilimency, the Weasleys would not use it on their own children, and no one except Dumbledore could control it to the point where it would not hurt people.
If Dumbledore wanted to expose Irwin, it would also reveal the fact that he used Legilimency on his students.
So, when Alvin talked to Dumbledore this time, he had no intention of continuing to pretend.
