Beedle's status in the Wizarding World is roughly equivalent to that of William Shakespeare in the same period.
However, his story is not all tragedy.
In his analysis of "The Fountain of Fair Fortune," Dumbledore recounted an interesting anecdote.
Hogwarts once staged a Christmas pantomime during its celebrations.
That year, Dumbledore was a young professor of Transfiguration.
That year, Kettleburn was physically healthy and didn't even pass his probation period.
That year, Herbert Beery, the Herbology Professor, had not yet taken up his teaching position at the Magical Drama Academy.
Vincent read it with a frown.
Because the three witches and one knight in the story had already solved the problem that had been troubling them on their journey to find the Fountain of Fair Fortune.
However, when it came to this pantomime...
First, Professor Herbert Beery, as the director, was completely unaware of the emotional entanglements unfolding right under his nose.
The student who plays Amata and the student who plays the unlucky jazz have always been a couple.
Just an hour before the curtain rose, the actor playing the unlucky jazz fell in love with "Asha".
The curtain had just been raised when Professor Kettleburn's "worm"—a Ashwinder cursed with obesity—suddenly exploded.
Amata and Asha begin to fight over the "Unlucky Knight," their duel proving to be a close and evenly matched battle.
Then a fierce fire swept across the stage, threatening to engulf the entire Great Hall, forcing teachers and students to evacuate.
The performance ended in tragedy.
The Hospital Wing was packed that night, and it took several months for the pungent smell of burnt wood in the Great Hall to completely dissipate.
"Professor, I have a question." Vincent obediently raised his right hand.
Dumbledore nodded to him.
"How long exactly was Professor Kettleburn's probationary period?"
"His relationship with my predecessor, Professor Dippet, was always quite tense, and it took him a full sixty-two years to become a full professor."
Vincent involuntarily gasped.
This long probationary period turned him from a young man into a decrepit old man.
Dippet, the principal who later banned mime performances, was truly a ruthless person.
Just as he was about to turn to the next page, Dumbledore gestured for him to continue reading.
The final part of the analysis deals with the Malfoy Family's attitude toward the Tales of Beedle the Bard.
Brutus Malfoy during the Beedle era was the editor of the anti- Muggle magazine "The Wizarding War".
He believed that wizards who liked Muggle were Squib, and wizards who expressed liking for Muggle society were intellectually deficient.
[These wizards' magic is weak and pathetic, utterly vulnerable; they can only find a sense of superiority among Muggle trash.]
"Professor, may I swear?"
Please make yourself at home.
Vincent swore for a full two minutes.
He added that if this Malfoy ancestor were born in this era, he would definitely take a shot at him with super-powerful firepower.
His descendants were certainly no better.
After Lucius Malfoy became School Board Member,
Not only was the story of marriage to Muggle, "The Fountain of Fair Fortune," removed from the Hogwarts library,
They also removed "The Warlock's Hairy Heart," a story that teaches young wizards to treat Muggle kindly.
Vincent continued swearing for another two minutes.
He felt he had gone too far, judging from the fact that both the old and the young were like this.
Dumbledore's eyelids twitched slightly. "Severus is very trustworthy."
"Professor, it seems you've revealed something."
"Is that so?" He blinked, indicating that he had finished reading the second half of the last paragraph of the analysis.
Vincent, who felt they were about to get to the point, glanced at him and immediately looked at him with a bitter expression.
"Professor, I know your views on Muggle, and I know just how stupid those bloodline advocates are."
So-called Pure-blood families deny the existence of Muggle or Muggle-born individuals in their families by denying or lying in order to maintain their claimed purity of blood.
Most importantly, this group also attempted to impose this hypocrisy on others, thereby creating the illusion that Muggle-born individuals had stolen wizarding powers.
This same group of people drove away the Squib from their home, and now they're refusing to let their magically gifted descendants return to the Wizarding World.
No wonder they almost all became Death Eaters.
"You're trying to have your cake and eat it too!" Vincent was so angry he wanted to throw the book down.
He knew what Dumbledore wanted to tell him.
Unfortunately, he saw through the true nature of this group long ago and had already decided to eradicate them completely in the future.
"My child, I hope you can make the right decision."
Dumbledore became serious. "Gellert Grindelwald is very skilled at persuasion. Your meeting with him may change the future of the Wizarding World."
Vincent thought he was going to stop him, but suddenly became indifferent, "I just won't go to Austria."
He couldn't possibly leave Nurmengard, where he'd been for 47, just to find a little wizard like me, could he?
"He really cannot leave." Dumbledore serious than ever before.
"Gellert Grindelwald is actually the greatest prophet of this century."
Although he was not recognized by the world, he did successfully Prophecy the Second Muggle War, and thereby launched the First Wizarding War.
"Professor, you mean—"
"He foresaw you, and I foresaw him."
If Vincent wasn't mistaken, it all seemed to have originated from a Prophecy by Trelawney.
It will guide you through countless coincidences until the Prophecy comes true.
Dumbledore interpreted the grief and indignation on his face as unease at the impending meeting with Grindelwald and anger toward the bloodline advocates.
"They wouldn't dare lay a hand on you while you were at Hogwarts."
This is both a guarantee and a constraint.
"Professor, do you know what Grindelwald foresaw?"
"I don't know. His abilities are far more advanced than mine, and the scenes he can see are much more distant."
Vincent hesitated for a moment, but decided not to reveal Trelawney's Prophecy.
"Since I'm definitely going to meet him, can I postpone the date?"
Dumbledore no longer looked him in the eye. "Even if my answer is no, you will still try to postpone the date."
Old ginger is indeed spicier.
If one dares not even defy the Prophecy, then one cannot draw the Sword of Gryffindor.
"Professor, may I borrow—"
"No, it's too precious."
Vincent, pouting, clutched the Tales of Beedle the Bard tightly, seemingly with no intention of returning it.
Dumbledore smiled wryly and said, "I can teach you to cast the Undetectable Extension Charm right now."
"Although he's past his prime, he was still the first Dark Lord."
"They won't use violence."
"Them?!"
"Oh, I accidentally let it slip again."
Vincent pretended not to see the smug look on Dumbledore's face.
Grindelwald being imprisoned in Nurmengard does not mean he lacks means of contacting the outside world.
If the Saints are so capable, let them come to Hogwarts and kidnap someone.
They went to Wayne's house, where no one knew what they had purchased.
Once the cannon fires, your ashes will be scattered!
