In the garden outside the Shack, Lupin placed the Goblin that he had cleaned up on the ground. The Goblin's body had returned to its brown color. It had a large head that was disproportionate to its body and looked like a potato with legs. The Goblin angrily strode away with its bony feet. Its silly look was hilarious.
"Arthur is such a good man. He even told me not to throw it out so that it can't find its hole," Lupin said as he rubbed his hands that were frozen by the cold weather. He had forgotten to bring his gloves.
"Luna told me that her father, Xenophilus Lovegood, had also done a lot of research on goblin saliva. He believed that goblin saliva had a lot of unusual benefits. For example, it could suddenly increase a person's creativity, give them the ability to sing operas, or read aloud in mermaid language. Goblins may have unique magic abilities that are completely different from wizards'." Alan was not affected by the cold. He watched as the goblins skillfully drilled back into one of the goblin holes. However, more goblins soon came out of the hole. "Interestingly, the intelligence of these creatures is very low. When we eliminate the goblins, the other goblins will rush out of the hole to see what is going on. Thus, they become very easy to catch. Speaking of which, the Draco Family did not do a good job in this matter. His family directly used the natural enemy of the goblins, the demon marten, to eat them. This cruel method is rarely used nowadays."
After Lupin refreshed his understanding of the Lovegood family, he shook his head and said to Alan, "Alan, I haven't thanked you properly for what you did for me and Tonks."
"You have thanked me many times." Allen waved his hand casually. "When you get married, treat us to a good meal. Remember to let the Tonks cook for a short time. Daisy said that she tends to overcook things."
"Not only this, but also the werewolves …" Lupin wanted to continue expressing his gratitude, but Allen stopped him. Lupin also felt that if he were to express his gratitude, it would be too formal.
"Umbrella is a company. They do not do things that do not benefit them. Successfully developing a more mature Wolfsbane Potion is also good for Umbrella's reputation. It is not only the gold coins that count as profit," Allen said frankly.
"Even so, for Umbrella, this may be a profitable project. But for us werewolves, it is a life-changing opportunity." Lupin did not continue to express his gratitude. He pondered for a moment and said, "Allen, I have something to discuss with you."
"Oh, Remus, what is it?" Allen's expression became serious.
"You and Dumbledore have a conflict in teaching philosophy." Lupin raised his head and looked at Allen's face, observing Allen's expression. "Those school directors have also taken the initiative to contact Dumbledore. You know that their families have been squeezed by Harris and the group of people brought back from abroad …"
Allen nodded calmly. "I know that. Those traditional families have not only contacted Dumbledore, but Rufus Scrimgeour has also chosen to become a spy in the Ministry of Magic with their support."
"Allen … Can you change the teaching content appropriately? For example, you can first state that you will only teach some spells that are not too dangerous. You know, although the Mystery Man has not stirred up trouble in England, he must be secretly plotting a comeback. At this time, disagreements, divisions, and internal strife between the two of you are tantamount to a disaster for the magic world. I can mediate between you and Dumbledore. In fact, I think Dumbledore told me this because he did not want to have a direct confrontation with you. " Lupin tried to read Allen's thoughts from Allen's face, but it was destined to be in vain. He could not help but speak out his thoughts in frustration. "Allen, in fact, I personally think … Dumbledore has obviously aged a lot in the past few years. He will not be the principal for many years, and you are still so young … You really don't have to go to that extent with him … This will cause more unnecessary losses …"
"Remus, I just think that if I do this, more people will have to rely on themselves to survive when they encounter the Mystery Man and his Death Eaters. And if I delay this plan for a day, more people may die in an accident when they could have survived." Allen said calmly. "Dumbledore thinks that only a few of us will sacrifice and risk our lives to get rid of the Mystery Man, so the others don't have to risk their lives to come to me. This is a foolish idea. Just think about it, in his life, there have been two The Dark Lord. His method has been proven not to be a good one. It is completely undesirable to sacrifice the happiness of a few people every time in exchange for temporary peace. How can he be sure that there won't be a third Lord Voldemort after him? What will happen if there are no such few people one day? "
Seeing that Lupin opened his mouth and tried to defend himself, Allen opened his hand to stop him from refuting.
"Think about it, Remus. You've been a professor in Hogwarts and taught those lovely students. You know that their talents haven't received enough guidance and development. Originally, very few graduates could cast the Guardian Charm under Dumbledore's education system. How long have you been teaching it to so many people?" Allen deliberately led Lupin to ignore the fact that he was actually invited by Dumbledore and declared his own ideas. "Think about it, Professor Lupin. In your first war, if the average wizard could use the Phantom Shift without a wand, cast some lethal spells, or learn to summon some creatures to hinder the enemy … Or even if the right to use the Death Curse could be opened in such a situation, the Death Eaters and Lord Voldemort would have to face the overwhelming green light of death. Even if some of them could only cause some nosebleeds … How many people would die in this wizard war? How much would the behavior of the Mystery Man's faction have to be restrained?"
Seeing that Lupin nodded subconsciously after hearing about the students he taught, Allen's mouth unconsciously smiled. He patted Lupin's shoulder and looked at him gently. "You just have to follow your heart. I don't need your support for the conflict between his education and mine. Don't be troubled. If he has any orders for you, don't worry about me. As long as it's not against the law, it won't affect us."
This seemed to make Lupin even more troubled. He said hesitantly, "Allen, you've been so kind to me, but I can't give you anything in return …"
"Not everything has to be reciprocal, Remus. Why do you have to live such a painful life? Let go of these worries, ask your heart, and choose according to your heart. You are free." Allen pointed at Lupin's chest and winked exaggeratedly at him with his left eye. "But no matter what happens, remember to invite me when you get married. Otherwise, I'll really take that videotape to the TV station and play it. You know, the TV station is my family's. I'll do what I say."
Allen was doing this on purpose. In fact, Allen and Dumbledore both liked to be in control of everything and let everything progress according to their personalities. Even though it was for the greater good, the process of accomplishing this goal was completely different.
Dumbledore was already too old. In addition, he was a Gryffindor Lion at heart, while Allen's academy was the Eagle Academy, which was occasionally mocked by other academies for being a coward.
Therefore, Dumbledore was destined to ignore the feelings of the people around him and was more used to looking at problems by the results. Allen, on the other hand, cared about the feelings of others and liked to use these feelings to create a feeling of freedom and equality. Although it was more troublesome and not as direct as Slytherin's unscrupulous methods, it made his goal feel that it was his own choice and not the result of simply following orders.
After making a choice, people generally would not easily doubt whether their choice was right or not. Most people would only see what they wanted to see. They would only work harder to make it right, and as time went by and their energy was consumed, they would become more convinced that it was right. Otherwise, it would be a rejection of their own efforts over a long period of time.
Allen believed that his way of guidance was successful. This kind of participation and sense of belonging was far easier to accept and understand than a simple and crude order without any explanation. Even if Dumbledore's purpose was not for himself, but for the good of 'everyone'.
"Remus, excuse me. I just remembered that I have some business matters to discuss with George and Fred." Seeing that Lupin was lost in his own thoughts, Alan politely excused himself and decided to look for the twins on the spur of the moment.
