Chapter 134 Ryan, who was turned the tables
The ethereal, elusive fire scene exists only in perception; it does not exist in reality.
However, Ryan could still feel the burning sensation on his soul. It felt like a long time had passed, but it also seemed like only a moment. Gale's eyes refocused, and he was still standing in the same place holding the book, but a tremendous change had already taken place.
At least in Ryan's perception, he and Dumbledore were already on the same level.
The accumulated problems and grievances of decades of imprisonment were swept away, and he was reborn like a phoenix, living out his second life in its prime.
"Human perspectives are always one-sided. Even when analyzing a problem comprehensively, we are still standing in our own perspective, and thus we will ignore some things that we cannot see."
Gale stood there, smiling, the marks of time on his face softening slightly. "I didn't have these feelings as a child. The flames then were intense, scalding, and destructive. Later, the flames gradually died down, leaving only a pile of ashes that still looked like they were burning. Until this year."
He closed the book and put it back on Dumbledore's shelf: "The embers were rekindled in the ashes, but not nearly as bright as before."
He laughed: "I'm only now realizing that there are many kinds of fire, and not all of them need to burn fiercely."
Since he started using magic, he had never had such a transformative experience. So when faced with a cheater, Ryan, with a long face, said: "Turn it off, it's boring, I'm breaking down."
"If you don't have this understanding, it means your own concept of magic isn't enough. What you've mastered is the magic that I and the professor taught you, not your own. Just learning is useless. You have to turn what's in the textbook into your own magic." Gale seemed to see through Ryan's resentment and then added another cruel blow.
Ryan stated that these overpowered individuals don't understand the joys and sorrows of ordinary people. He lamented, "Turning textbook magic into my own is far from what most wizards believe—that mastering magic and using it effortlessly. That's not enough. True magic belonging to a wizard requires a deeper understanding of its essence, comprehending why magic exists, why magical power works, and why wizards cast spells."
He stopped, and then said very, very earnestly, "This is not a simple matter."
"Is it difficult? It's alright—"
"Lalvin and the others are almost here. I should go. Goodbye." Seeing that the conversation had already turned to Versailles before they even reached France, Ryan hurriedly interrupted Gale, who was about to continue speaking, and turned to leave.
A moment later, Dumbledore came down from the second floor: "If I remember correctly, my acting professor is only a fifth-year student. You know he's a fifth-year student? I thought you didn't." Gale appeared out of nowhere with a plate of sizzling grilled sausages.
Dumbledore: "We probably weren't as strong as he is now when we were in fifth grade."
Gale: "But by then we already had our own ideas about magic. You're a strange student. Logically speaking, when wizards come into contact with things outside their knowledge, it should completely impact their original magical concepts, sparking new ideas and leading to deeper reflections. Sometimes, even just a single sentence or a single scene can cause drastic changes."
"Your student certainly has deeper thoughts, such as his communicator. He also created a puppet with memories and thoughts, an alchemical device, and even his magic orb—it's the first of its kind in the magical world. But don't you find it strange that none of this translates into his own magical understanding?"
Dumbledore sat down next to Gale: "I think it's more acceptable to attribute Ryan's condition to an innate deficiency in his perception of magic than the most likely outcome."
"Do you know why?"
Dumbledore: "Although Lane didn't say it outright, he didn't hide it either. We almost all had the basic judgment that this kid really dared to let me use Legilimency to look into his mind."
"It seems this person is a little crazy, which makes me a bit curious about his upbringing."
"Long time no see, fellow alumni." At the entrance of Hogwarts Castle, Ryan embraced each of the outstanding graduates and current Ministry of Magic staff members.
"Actually, it hasn't been that long since we last met. I only started working this year," said someone who had just graduated from Ravenclaw last year.
"It's been a year or two since I last saw him. The communicator was invented, and he got the Order of Merlin. For an ordinary wizard, that would be enough to live off for the rest of his life."
Ryan: "It's not that exaggerated."
"But we wouldn't be surprised if this happened to Ryan."
"Ryan certainly won't stop there. Just look at all the amazing ideas he has; I'm really curious to see what the wizarding world will be like next."
Ryan: "You flatter me, seniors."
"What are we having for lunch?" Amidst the pleasantries, there were always one or two pragmatic wizards.
Ryan said, "I plan to go to France. If nothing happens, we can also visit the magic school and the Ministry of Magic there."
Upon hearing this, Larvin knew that something was definitely going to happen. Perhaps Ryan had seen something in the prophecy and was just trying to bolster their morale.
He suddenly said, "Actually, we don't have much to do these past two days, so we have plenty of time to go on a trip."
Ryan was a little confused when he heard this. Was the Ministry of Magic's work schedule really that relaxed these past two days?
You were absent from your post for two days in a row and nothing happened?
Or what exactly did these people do?
Is the Ministry of Magic still there?
Is Fudge still alive?
Larvin didn't give him a chance to ask: "Let's go, let's eat and talk when we get there."
The crowd around them echoed their agreement, pulling and dragging them to Paris using Apparition.
After Apparating, they arrived at the most prestigious Muggle restaurant in the vicinity.
They even booked a private room in advance!
The windows of the private rooms offer a direct view of the square and the Eiffel Tower!
However, it was clearly Ryan who suggested going to Paris, France, because he wanted to see it for himself due to intelligence.
However, after he was pulled and dragged to sit down, he realized that these senior students had come prepared!
They all know this place inside and out!
"How do you know so much? You didn't say you were coming here before—it feels like you were just waiting for me to say I was coming to Paris, and then you dragged me here right away." After sitting down and taking a sip of water, Ryan voiced his doubts.
"If we're going to teach Fudge a lesson, we can't fight this alone," Larvin said.
In reality, they discovered during the execution of the plan that if they wanted things to be perfect, they needed to rely on a person of reputation and ability.
Otherwise, such a coordinated effort might not be as perfect as they imagine.
However, being young and impetuous, they still decided to bite the bullet and go ahead, since it wouldn't be a big problem; at worst, they could stage a mutiny by the Ministry of Magic.
The youthful arrogance of Lalvin and others does not mean that everyone they associate with is young and arrogant. Some even went directly to Hogwarts to see Dumbledore and inquire in detail whether Dumbledore was behind it all.
He was worried that since it was just a few kids doing it secretly, there would be no way to clean up the mess if it failed.
This man's name is Arthur. A veteran member of the Order of the Phoenix.
After speaking with Dumbledore and receiving his assurances, he returned to the Ministry of Magic and recounted the entire process in detail to Larvin and others.
"No wonder you knew I was planning to go to France, so you should also know about the prophecy I made." Ryan suddenly realized that Mr. Weasley's trip to Hogwarts was perfectly reasonable, since Ron was hospitalized and his parents didn't know the reason, so they naturally had to ask.
