Thick white fog churned wildly, but Tom was used to it; it always turned out this way when they summoned a new teacher.

Furthermore, the space will expand accordingly, ensuring that teachers have sufficient room to move around.

The Study Space is now about half the size of Hogwarts excluding the Forbidden Forest.

Andros and Gellert Grindelwald had previously tried to traverse the white fog and push it away to open up new space.

No matter what spells they used, they couldn't take a single step out of the white mist. The spells seemed to sink without a trace, and after a few tries, they gave up.

When that golden and silver light emerged from Tom's body, Gellert Grindelwald's eyes widened in disbelief.

They stared intently at the trajectory of the light, but detected no energy fluctuations whatsoever. The next second, the light disappeared into the white mist.

"It's too bizarre, completely beyond my comprehension." Gellert Grindelwald shook his head and sighed. Even witnessing it firsthand, he couldn't figure out what was going on.

Now all he can do is hope that the new teacher Tom summons is someone he's heard so much about.

Five minutes passed, and Tom and the other two frowned. Summoning Andros and Gellert Grindelwald hadn't taken this long before.

"Could it be that a tough character is coming?" Tom's eyes lit up, and he rubbed his hands together excitedly.

"Judging by the length of time, this person is definitely not an ordinary person; they might even be a big shot from Ravenclaw?"

Just as he was filled with excitement, a small, thin figure vaguely appeared in the most violently churning part of the white mist.

"So small?" Andros muttered. With his massive build, he could easily take on three of the other guy's. They were clearly not on the same level.

Finally, the figure emerged completely from the white mist and stood before the three of them.

Tom's eyes widened in disbelief. It wasn't a new teacher at all; it was clearly a thin girl about the same age as Astoria.

She looked timid, her head almost touching her chest, and she didn't even dare to look at anyone.

Gellert Grindelwald, on the other hand, had his pupils shrink sharply. Even when he himself was summoned back then, he hadn't been this flustered. He exclaimed in a trembling voice, "Ariana?"

Upon hearing her name, the girl subconsciously raised her head, first looking at the unfamiliar white-haired middle-aged man in front of her with a puzzled expression.

But when she caught a glimpse of those distinctive heterochromatic eyes, a terrifying memory flashed through her mind. "Gellert Grindelwald?!"

Instantly, immense magical power erupted from the girl's body, black magic spreading across the sky and causing the entire space to tremble.

Andros's expression hardened. "Such powerful magic! It belongs to her, yet it seems to belong to some kind of living being. What kind of magic is this?"

"Get out of here!" Tom reacted quickly, instantly guessing the girl's identity.

Without hesitation, he kicked Gellert Grindelwald out of the Study Space and immediately used his spatial permission to suppress the raging black magic.

"Ariana, don't be afraid, calm down," Tom said softly, trying to soothe her.

"Do you remember the voice in your head just now? It was me who summoned you here, not to be your teacher, but to be my classmate. No one will bully you."

It took a long time to calm Ariana down, and the black magic within her was suppressed, causing her to fall back into slumber.

Tom then slowly explained everything about the Study Space, repeatedly drawing a line between himself and Gellert Grindelwald as he spoke, proving that he was not in cahoots with them.

Although the little girl was still timid, the system's limitations and the magic and reality of the space gradually made her lower her guard against Tom and build up a little trust in him.

"Don't worry!" Tom patted his chest, making a loud thud, "As long as you don't want to see him, I promise Gellert Grindelwald will never appear in front of you again!"

"Who are you to bully such a cute little girl like you? You have no shame!"

Andros smirked to himself, inwardly cursing: Gellert Grindelwald was only a teenager back then.

So, to win over a young girl, you're resorting to slandering us old folks? But I must say, this tactic is surprisingly effective.

[System notification: Ariana Albus Dumbledore's approval rating for you has reached 20%. The host has gained the Transfiguration talent of Ariana Albus Dumbledore.]

Tom then realized that the third "teacher" he had summoned was actually Ariana Albus Dumbledore, who had died unexpectedly in Godric's Hollow and directly changed the course of the world.

Ariana was the second daughter of the Albus Dumbledore. When she was born, the Albus Dumbledore were still living in Mould-on-the-Wold.

In an accident, Ariana accidentally revealed her magical abilities and was bullied by several Muggle children, which marked the beginning of all the tragedies in the Dumbledore family.

From that moment on, Ariana began to fear the magical power within her, which eventually gave rise to the Obscurus, Obscurus feared by all.

To avenge his daughter, her father, Percival Albus Dumbledore, brutally tortured the Muggle children.

Because he refused to tell the truth, he was eventually imprisoned in Azkaban, where he died a few years later.

After that, her mother, Kendra Albus Dumbledore, moved the family to Godric's Hollow.

Not long after, she died unexpectedly during one of Ariana's Obscurus rampages, after which Ariana became even more withdrawn and timid.

One summer vacation, Albus Dumbledore returned home to take care of his sister, and the relationship between the two siblings improved somewhat.

Ariana was also able to maintain her composure most of the time and no longer go berserk.

But at this delicate juncture, Gellert Grindelwald, who had been dismissed by Durmstrang, arrived in Godric's Hollow and immediately captured Albus's heart.

From then on, Albus's mind was filled with discussions with Gellert Grindelwald about "the future of the wizarding world."

They also put forward the idea of " for the For the Greater Good," naturally neglecting the younger sister's feelings.

When Aberforth Albus Dumbledore returned home, he found Albus and Gellert Grindelwald inseparable, chatting happily.

He was furious at the sight of his poor sister huddled in a corner, ignored by everyone.

The three had a heated argument, which escalated into a physical fight. In the chaos, Ariana tragically died.

It was from that moment that Albus finally realized what he cherished most, but it was too late.

Even after parting ways with Gellert Grindelwald, he could never win anyone back.

It's not hard to understand Ariana's fear when she saw Gellert Grindelwald.

In her eyes, Gellert Grindelwald was a demon who stole her brother and destroyed everything she had, no different from the Muggle kids who bullied her back then.

As for the golden and silver light, the system also provided an explanation: the growth ceiling of the Obscurus is closely related to the wizard's own talent potential.

With the help of Obscurus, Ariana could crush most wizards; she herself was a seed of King of the Century would perish halfway through her life.
