Suspended Classes

What was Dumbledore thinking when he looked intently at Harry because of the change in Harry's wand?

Logically speaking, only he should know.

Communication lv4→lv5 (3%)↑

While communicating telepathically with Hermione, his communication skills, which had been improving at a snail's pace, broke through to level 5.

Ryan's communication skills, or more accurately, a branch of his Detection skills that allow him to inquire about everything, even the intangible fate.

The rune representing the link, invented by Ryan, is its embodiment.

From lifeless stones to 'dead' gods, Ryan could treat them as individuals, linking and exchanging information with them.

It is precisely because of this breakthrough in skill.

So when Dumbledore thinking, Ryan even treated his fleeting thoughts as a separate entity and secretly communicated with them one-way.

Ryan clearly heard the information that flashed through Dumbledore's mind. "Wizards have driven the advancement of wands. The Elder Wand of Bleach. Harry's wand can refuse Ollivander."

Why? Could it affect a wizard's mind? Could I detect it?

I seem to have been influenced by it.

Ariana, I don't want to resurrect her, do I?

I face death with equanimity and have never thought of prolonging my life because...

Clearly, Dumbledore's keen wizarding intuition was revealed through the changes in Harry's wand.

For the first time, he became aware of the Elder Wand's influence on him. He even connected it to his attitude towards death and his indifference towards resurrection.

However, to Ryan's disappointment, even Dumbledore was aware of these things.

He still showed no intention of changing anything. He didn't even harbor any resentment towards Bleach.

However, it seems that it wasn't without impact.

Thursday.

There are three days left until the team competition.

Harry and Ron sat cross-legged under the beech tree on the slope of Black Lake.

I gazed at the tall redwood not far away.

On the spiral staircase made of redwood, students from Castelobruxo, dressed in bright green robes, played and walked about.

"We've been sitting here for almost until class starts, but that Ilvas still hasn't come out," Ron said. He was chewing on a blade of millet, his eyes half-closed in boredom.

He was originally planning to look for Krum.

Since Harry told him about Krum's situation a few days ago, and what he had said to Krum in that room on the first floor.

He wanted to meet with Krum.

Even with the help of the Marauder's Map, he still failed to block Krum.

Most importantly, according to other students who had met Krum only frequented the library.

They did not practice Summoning Charm or riding a broom.

This made Ron somewhat worried.

So, after missing Krum again...

He suggested looking at Castelobruxo's residence and vehicles not far away—the redwood.

I wanted to take the opportunity to see if Varys had done any training—specifically for the First Task.

However, as a result, just like Krum, Ilvas did not come out.

This made Ron even more frustrated.

"I think they're all practicing in their own rooms to avoid leaking information." Harry pointed to some Hogwarts students who had casually passed by the ship and redwoods several times.

Several of them are familiar faces—those who were previously used to help Harry conquer the world.

"Okay." Ron sighed.

Just as Harry was at a loss for words, a familiar voice came from afar, like waves crashing in the shore.

"Harry Harry Harry," Colin Crevey said breathlessly, "Thankfully, you haven't taken the Conservation of Magical Creatures class yet."

He waved the parchment in his hand.

"This isn't another letter from Dumbledore, is it?" Ron asked. Colin nodded, which surprised Ron. "Colin, you're living in the Headmaster's Office now?"

Colin proudly stated, "I have come across a very interesting portrait, Sir Cadogan."

Ever since Dumbledore sent you a letter through me last time, I knew there would be more.

Sir Cadogan kept an eye on the Headmaster's Office for me.

Ron rubbed his ears, wondering if he had misheard. "What! Someone actually dared to spy on the principal?"

This portrait depicts either a madman or a fool.

"He is indeed a bit crazy, riding a pony all day long and brandishing a sword," Colin said, handing the letter to Harry.

Then he walked away, looking back ten times with every step.

"I still can't believe that a portrait could reveal the headmaster's whereabouts to students," Ron said, moving closer to Harry.

Harry spread the letter out on his lap.

Dear Harry:

Because the team competition starts on Sunday, classes this Saturday are temporarily cancelled.

Also, congratulations on becoming Champion of Hogwarts!

I will address your concerns about Krum.

Your faithful

Albus Dumbledore

"Uh," Ron shuddered, "How does he know everything!"

Harry, however, remained remarkably calm. "He's the headmaster of Hogwarts, and there are plenty of portraits of him conveying messages."

Besides, didn't we already know that?

That's fine too.

Dumbledore will likely negotiate with Grindelwald personally.

Krum is probably alright.

"Oh, but this is a competition. What if Krum wins the championship because of this?" Ron said.

After Krum was alright, he began to worry about Harry's Triwizard Tournament title again.

"Alright, Ron. The championship isn't important."

This Triwizard Tournament is being broadcast live. More important than winning is breaking out of the drama.

Compared to the 1000 Galleons bonus, the profit sharing from related products is more important.

"Besides, I don't see Krum as a threat to me," Harry said confidently.

At the same time, a melodious and deep sound of bells emanated from the castle.

"I was too hasty just now; I just wanted to feel a sense of participation."

I hope you can offer some useful advice.

You know I'm not Champion.

But both of my friends are Champion.

Especially you, Harry.

"My most important friend." Ron stood up, looking a little embarrassed.

"Alright, time for class," Harry said, then suddenly pointed to a spot not far away. "Look! Neville is with the Hufflepuff students again."

"In a moment, you'll have to guess which one Neville likes best!"

"What are you doing?" Ron said, but couldn't help but smile.

"The end of this month is Halloween Eve."

If you guessed it right. Halloween is on the first of next month.

"I'll give you a gift you've been wanting for a long time," Harry said—and the two walked together toward Hagrid's Hut.

"What exactly is the gift?"

The latest Firebolt?

Ravenclaw's Diadem?

The land title deed for 10 Rosaceae Drive?

You're dreaming.

That's not what I want you to guess!

But if you really want the last one, I can give it to you.

As long as you're not afraid of Ginny angry.
