Chapter 178 Dumbledore’s choice, Gellert Grindelwald

For the next few days, Ian remained in this state of confusion. Just like a ghost wandering around the edge of Hogwarts, except for occasionally forcing myself to go to the kitchen to get some food, the rest of the time is spent sitting in the dormitory thinking…

Thanks to his previous application for suspension of classes, except for his two roommates, basically no one noticed anything unusual about him. Even if he went to the kitchen to get food, it was during the time when other students were in class.

The student didn’t post it, but that doesn’t mean the professor didn’t notice it.

…

Principal’s office.

“Albus, don’t tell me, there’s nothing you can do.” Professor Flitwick stood on the stool and said with a somewhat excited expression.

“Filius, you think too highly of me. In Ian’s situation, he can only rely on himself… not even St. Mungo’s Hospital can do anything.” After Dumbledore finished speaking, he sighed deeply.

In fact, Dumbledore did not expect that Ian would get involved in the soul field so quickly. According to his idea, the other party should be exposed to these after graduation. Now that something like this happened, he was really surprised and also helpless.

“On your own? Are you going to watch like this? Merlin! That child’s condition is very dangerous, very dangerous.” Professor McGonagall sitting aside suddenly said loudly.

She thought Dumbledore would have some good ideas, but what happened? The answer is to rely on yourself? These professors can only stand by and watch!

“Minerva, I want to help him more than any of you. But in fact… we really have no good way.” Dumbledore stretched out his hand to cover his forehead, feeling very guilty at this moment.

It was obvious that Mr. Principal was still blaming himself. He believed that he had told Ian the information about soul awakening, thus allowing him to rashly step into this field without sufficient accumulation.

“Is there nothing you can do?”

Looking at the expectant looks in Filius and Minerva’s eyes, Dumbledore shook his head with difficulty.

At this moment, Dumbledore thought of a lot… of his younger brothers and sisters, of Gellert, of Tom, and even now Ian.

He has experienced too much helplessness and sadness in his life, but every time he can only watch helplessly, with no way, let alone the ability to change those things.

In a daze, I seemed to see the scene when I first came into contact with Ian. It was also in this office. The mature and beautiful little boy was hiding behind Minerva, always a little afraid of herself.

Then the other party skillfully put Minerva away, and she was determined to tell him everything… The photos taken in the abandoned classroom, the borrowing of books before summer vacation, the conversation in the candy store… each scene seemed to have happened yesterday, Now it flashed before his eyes like a slideshow.

Suddenly feeling his eyes wet, Dumbledore couldn’t help but take off the half-moon glasses he wore all year round, opened the drawer and took out a handkerchief to wipe his eyes.

He knows better than anyone else that Ian’s foundation and accumulation cannot withstand this test, just like himself back then…

…

Although Ian was sitting on the bed expressionlessly like a wax statue at the moment, he dared not stop for a moment in his heart. He was constantly thinking and scrutinizing, and he wanted to prove his existence.

He also thought of Descartes’ famous statement – “I think, therefore I am.”

But it was rejected by him in an instant. This could not prove his existence.

It is true that Descartes is very powerful, but that is also proof of his own existence. The premise of ‘I think, therefore I am’ is ‘I am doubting my existence’.

‘I think’ means I am thinking about the issue of existence. There must be a thinker here, and there must also be a proof of a thinker. This proves the existence of consciousness, which also proves ‘I exist’.

I have to say that Descartes’ logic is very powerful.

But Ian knows that he can’t use this logic. Now it’s not just because he doubts his existence that he can prove it. Instead, he wanted to prove his existence to the bronze knocker, or to Rowena Ravenclaw.

This kind of proof will directly face a fatal question. First of all, where does this ‘I think’ thinking ability come from? If ‘I’ can’t prove existence, then who is thinking?

A person who cannot prove existence is thinking about existence? Just don’t be too funny.

Ian could only helplessly change the proposition at this moment. Obviously Descartes’ logic could not help him.

…

At the same time, the principal’s office.

After Professor McGonagall saw Dumbledore shaking his head in denial, this strong woman finally collapsed.

“Oh God! What should I do, what should we do, just watch this child disappear? He is only fifteen years old…”

Compared to Professor McGonagall’s sensibility, Flitwick was much more rational. Faced with this unchangeable outcome, he thought more about making amends.

“Albus, does Ian have no relatives? I remember he said that his mother has a friend, and we need to notify his relatives now.” Professor Flitwick said calmly.

When Dumbledore heard this, he said solemnly: “I’m afraid he has no other relatives… Moreover, I asked Gringotts and found that the gold and Galleons were not remittances at all, and the child did not tell the truth.”

“Bang!”

Suddenly, Professor McGonagall slapped the desk in front of her hard.

“I am his relative. I brought Ian to Hogwarts, and I… persuaded him to go to school, but… I didn’t expect this to be the result.”

As he spoke, tears flowed from the corners of Professor McGonagall’s eyes again.

“I am his relative.”

Professor McGonagall’s words made the atmosphere in the office heavier.

a long time.

Dumbledore seemed to have made some kind of decision.

“Minerva, calm down. We should believe in Ian, and the situation is not irreversible now. This is a test, and I also feel that Ian has not given up. He is still thinking and saving himself.”

Dumbledore then turned to Professor Flitwick.

“I need to find someone…well, find an old friend to predict Ian’s future. This will be very helpful to us. During this period, the school affairs will be left to you. Please help Minerva.” , something is wrong with her.”

Professor Flitwick nodded upon hearing this. “Leave it to me, I will take care of it here.”

Then, Dumbledore walked to his cupboard containing candy and took out an old-fashioned suitcase from the bottom corner that looked like it was a century ago.

After opening the box, there was a 12-inch crystal ball inside. Then he stretched out his hand and wiped away the dust accumulated on it with some nostalgia.

“Fox!”

Fox had already felt Dumbledore’s thoughts. After hearing the call, it flew up from the shelf and stayed in front of Dumbledore.

“Bang!”

There was a slight sound breaking through the air, the Phoenix Apparition started, and Dumbledore’s figure instantly disappeared from the principal’s office.
