In the study, Dumbledore smiled and looked at the house elf Kreacher who was serving black tea.

There were thousands of house elves in the Hogwarts kitchens, and Dumbledore did not discriminate against these guys.

Unlike most wizards in the wizarding world, Dumbledore was always tolerant in some aspects.

The spell cast just now was nothing to Cole, his face was not red and he was out of breath.

"Cole, it seems that in some aspects, you have achieved quite a lot."

Cole took a sip and spoke calmly.

"How can I compare with you, the principal? Who in the entire wizarding world doesn't know that the principal is the most famous wizard."

"Hahaha, it's just a fluke. There are still many people who are better than me."

Dumbledore's words reminded Cole of the Dark Lord, not the noseless image of Tom in the future, but Cole had met Tom Riddle in school.

Tom used to be majestic and friendly, and he would always smile and discuss the mysteries of magic with his classmates.

It was only later that his temperament became darker and darker, until he embarked on the road of no return as a Horcrux.

Why does Cole think of Tom when Dumbledore talks about someone not weaker than him?

That's because Tom's talent is really good. Whether it's the Defense Against the Dark Arts class or the Charms class, even in the Potions class, Tom is the most conspicuous presence.

No professor would refuse to teach a gifted little wizard.

Not to mention Tom's very deceptive face. In Cole's memory, Tom was really handsome when he was a boy.

Even Gryffindor girls have sent love letters to Tom.

It's just that Senior Tom always refuses, and most people think that Tom is focused on magic.

But Cole knew that the beautiful senior Tom just didn't know how to love.

Even most relationships are obstacles and restrictions for Tom.

Maybe the adult Voldemort is not as strong as Dumbledore, which is why Hogwarts has always been safe.

But in terms of talent, if Voldemort is given time, he will definitely reach Dumbledore's level.

During that period, Senior Tom's rule was based on more than just a declaration that purebloods were above all else.

It was the unparalleled black magic strength that made those pure-blood nobles fearful.

Thinking of this, Cole cleared away the distracting thoughts in his mind, looked at Dumbledore quietly and said:

"Why use the Wizengamot Tribunal to try Ban? You know the matter has not reached that point yet."

Cole questioned Dumbledore. To be honest, he was very dissatisfied. Suddenly one day Dumbledore came to his home.

It's just that newspapers outside reported that the class was ten years old and there was no magic riot yet, but in the wizarding world, not every child has magical talent.

Even if Ben becomes a squib, it will only be a small episode in the Black family.

For today's descendants of the Black family, a small squib will not affect the family's inheritance.

However, Dumbledore came to the door and quickly determined Ben's identity as Obscurus before Cole could react.

The Wizengamot meeting was held directly, and there were still so many people participating.

You must know that in this era, whether it is the Muggle government or Ministry of Magic officials, there is a lot of delay in handling the incident.

The efficiency of the Ministry of Magic is well known.

The Wizengamot Council is the highest court in the wizarding world in England, and it is very troublesome for Dumbledore to convene it even as the chief wizard.

But these people came so quickly. If Dumbledore didn't pay a certain price, he wouldn't have been able to come so quickly.

After Cole finished speaking, Dumbledore looked slightly embarrassed. He was too anxious to handle this matter.

"Cole, have you seen the real Obscurus?"

Cole didn't respond. Of course he hadn't seen it.

The atmosphere was slightly frozen. Dumbledore knew that if he couldn't give Cole an explanation today, he might not be able to leave Black Manor.

He was not afraid of Cole alone, but after seeing the magic of the Wizard's Tower, Dumbledore was not sure how deep the Black family's water was.

A wizard of his level should have more respect for unknown magic.

Dumbledore spoke slowly.

"Many years ago, there was an Obscurus beside a great wizard. His name was Credence."

"Miraculously, he was the only Obscurial to survive to adulthood. Unfortunately, too, he was lost to the power."

Dumbledore refused to name the great wizard, but Cole knew that man was Gellert Grindelwald, the first Dark Lord.

Cole said nothing, and Dumbledore seemed to be lost in memories.

"During that catastrophe, he killed many people and used the power of Obscurus. I can't forget that power to this day."

"The overwhelming black fog seems to be staring at your soul."

"As the only adult Obscurus, I thought he could control the power within his body, but it was disappointing. In the end, he was swallowed by the dark power."

Dumbledore said and looked into Cole's eyes.

"Cole, you should know about Ban's talent. The children in the Black family are some of the most talented children I have ever seen."

"If Ban is really the Obscurial, relying on the power of the Black family to survive to adulthood, the day when he cannot control the power in his body may be the day when the Black family and even the wizarding world suffer."

"You don't want your other children to get hurt either, do you?"

Dumbledore said that Cole understood here. It was because Old Bee had seen the destruction caused by Credence that he was so nervous, fearing that such a person would appear again in the wizarding world.

But as far as Cole knows, Credence seems to be a member of the Dumbledore family.

Is the Dumbledore family naturally prone to Obscurus? Albus Dumbledore's sister is also an Obscurial.

But he died in Godric Valley due to an accident.

This Credence seems to be the son of Aberforth Dumbledore. In that case, would he be Albus Dumbledore's nephew?

The bloodline transmission in the wizarding world is sometimes really hard to describe.

But in this case, Cole also knew that Dumbledore was not targeting the Black family.

It was just his inner sense of justice that made the principal target the class.

Now that Ben's body has been resolved, what Dumbledore feared will not happen.

"I understand, that's the end of the matter. As for the other principals, they are not interested in taking care of it, right?"

Dumbledore was a smart man, and of course he knew that Cole was talking about little Avery's speech in court.

"I am only responsible for teaching students, not an official of the Ministry of Magic."

Dumbledore blinked after saying this. Needless to say, Cole understood the meaning.

The two had a peaceful tea time, and Dumbledore returned to Hogwarts.
