With extraordinary comprehension, I built a floating city at Hogwarts.

After saying that, Rowena looked at Levin with a burning gaze: "Or, let's overthrow that guy named Dumbledore!"

"I sensed it before. Even as a Heroic Spirit, I am still the founder of Hogwarts, and I can revoke the authority that belongs to the Headmaster at any time. So, are you in or not?"

Her agitated attitude startled Levin.

Levin also had many complaints about Dumbledore, feeling that he was too controlling and too conservative in many areas, which he felt was not the right attitude for education.

Levin initially wondered if his thinking was somewhat extreme.

Is he simply applying his past experiences and thoughts to Hogwarts? Will the people at Da Yin just buy into Dumbledore's ideas?

Only now does he realize that there are people even more extreme than him—they can say things like "not even as good as pure-blood families".

Levin was pleasantly surprised to hear from Rowena that she could revoke his access to Hogwarts at any time.

In this way, even if he falls out with Dumbledore in the future, he will have plenty of confidence.

However, after hearing her reject Dumbledore's suggestion, Levin thought for a moment and then shook his head: "No, it's not the right time yet."

"Why?" Rowena asked, puzzled.

She could tell that Levin also harbored resentment towards Dumbledore; the boy had his own ideas about the future of Hogwarts.

The opportunity to put all of this into practice is right in front of us, so why give it up?

Levin could only manage a wry smile at Rowena's question.

Sure enough, she had the typical scholar's personality; although she was smart enough, her understanding of politics and human nature was still too naive.

He explained carefully: "My conflict with Dumbledore is not a personal grudge, but a conflict of ideas."

"If it's a personal grudge, we can settle it with strength. I can just find a way to take him out, or as you said, I can use my authority to overthrow him."

“But our conflict is one of ideologies, and it must be decided by those ideologies. I need to prove that my ideologies are better for Hogwarts and the wizarding world than his methods.”

"I will prove that I can protect Hogwarts, which he cannot!"

"He can't defeat the Dark Lord, but I can!"

"He can't lead the entire magical world to a brighter future, but I can!"

"What Dumbledore can do, I can do; what Dumbledore cannot do, I can also do!"

"My goal is not to defeat Dumbledore, but to get more people to shift their support from recognizing Dumbledore's shortcomings to supporting me. It's like a political struggle; physically eliminating your opponent is never the real end. Only when you prove them wrong is it truly over."

This is why, in some cases, political enemies are not exterminated, but rather thoroughly criticized and discredited; and why those who are imprisoned in Gongdelin can be spared death as long as they are willing to make a self-criticism.

Murder is not the logic of modern politics, but the logic of feudal politics.

Destroying the mind is the logic of modern politics.

"Is this what politics is? How boring."

Rowena looked bored when Levin brought this up.

But she still understood that Levin's decision was right.

"Anyway, you're the young master, so you can think about these things as you see fit. If needed, I can hand over the authority over Hogwarts to you at any time."

After saying that, she seemed to remember something, glanced at Helena, and then turned to Levin: "Um... Young Master Levin, I have a favor to ask. Could Helena become like me?"

After saying that, fearing that Levin would misunderstand, she quickly added, "I don't want Helena to have any powerful abilities. I just want her to regain her normal senses and emotions, so that she can enjoy human life like me."

Levin understood what Rowena was worried about.

The existence of ghosts stems from obsession; therefore, their minds are also trapped by these obsessions, preventing them from thinking like normal people.

This is why the ghosts in the castle are all so extreme.

Compared to Nick, who loves to collect loot, and Barrow, the bloodthirsty monster, Helena, with her detached emotions, is actually quite normal.

Furthermore, because ghosts cannot physically touch physical objects, they also lack the joy of living compared to humans.

They wanted to taste something, so they had to go looking for rotten food, simply because it had the strongest flavor that could give their dull senses a little taste.

It could be said that living a long life as a ghost is not a kind of happiness.

Naturally, the mother felt sorry for her daughter.

Upon hearing the question, Levin pondered for a moment before answering: "Yes, but not for now."

"In fact, my only concern right now is the source of magic."

"In order to create you, I used the vast magical power accumulated by the ancient guardians of magic with great effort to create your spirit origin."

"If I were to create a new Heroic Spirit now, I wouldn't even know where to accumulate its Spirit Origin. However, I believe that as we continue to explore magic, this problem will eventually be solved."

"Yes, I believe you. Thank you, Master Levin."

After hearing Levin's words, Rowena breathed a sigh of relief.

Helena has waited a thousand years anyway, so a few more years won't make a difference.

"Since you don't need me to overthrow Hogwarts, what can I do for you now?"

After learning about the modern situation, Rowena asked curiously.

“You can help me manage this tower, or even the entire demiplane,” Levin said. “We have a contract, and you are the person I trust the most. Your wisdom and your abilities as a Heroic Spirit mean that you are the most suitable person for this job.”

“Of course, I’d be happy to do it for you.” Rowena bowed slightly to Levin upon hearing this.

"Also, I have another idea." Thinking of the upcoming second match of the Triwizard Tournament, Levin had another thought. "As the founder of Hogwarts, would you be interested in contributing to our tournament?"

"Appreciate further details?"

Rowena leaned forward and listened to Levin's plan.

"I see. So you want to use the creation of new legends to further your research on Heroic Spirits? That's certainly a good idea."

Rowena praised Levin's plan and expressed her willingness to participate.

After saying all this, Levin glanced at the clock; it was nearly four in the morning.

He quickly got up and walked towards the bedroom, saying as he went:

"You two can talk it over, I'm going to bed now."

However, Rowena didn't let him leave alone. Instead, she personally went up to make Levin's bed, arranged everything, and tucked him in... These were things that Gwen and Orianna usually did.

Before leaving, she asked reluctantly, "Young Master Levin, do you really not need me to serve you in bed?"

His reply was Levin's curt words: "Go away! I don't need you!"

Watching Rowena's slender figure gradually disappear into the distance, Levin couldn't help but sigh.

That old guy who's lived for a thousand years just loves to tease young people.

If he hadn't felt it was inappropriate to do it in front of his daughter, he wouldn't have shown any mercy.

The picture shows Rowena.

Chapter 361 Ron's Mysterious Charm

Another Christmas holiday has come to an end.

Levin had a very fulfilling holiday.

Not only did he complete the final step with Hermione, spending a long time exploring advanced uses of Animagus with her, but he also gained a new Wild Form, resurrected Rowena Ravenclaw, and made progress in his research on nature spirits.

But Hermione felt the opposite.

In the girl's heart, this holiday became the shortest she had in four years, so short that she didn't have time to accomplish many things.

Before the ball began, she made many meaningful plans for herself, including carefully reading the seven-volume set of Chawick's Magic, which was a classic textbook at the American magic school Ilfamoni.

Of course, she was looking at Levin's rewritten version, which was based on arcane magic.

In addition, she plans to learn a couple of 5th-ring spells from Levin to prepare for the upcoming second match.

She made a whole bunch of plans, but surprisingly, she didn't complete a single one.

She didn't feel like she was wasting any time, but time just inexplicably dwindled.

All I can say is that good days are always so short.

As soon as the holiday ended, the learning atmosphere on campus became extremely intense.

Professor Snape assigned a pop quiz to all the students on the first day, which caused a great deal of resentment among the young wizards who had neglected their studies to attend the Christmas ball.

The results of the quiz were naturally disastrous, so Professor Snape took the opportunity to assign the students a lot of homework.

This directly caused many young wizards to become disoriented and nauseous whenever they entered the Potions classroom, as if there was something disgusting in the classroom.

When they see Professor Snape in person, the symptoms worsen, turning from dry heaving into vomiting, as if they were pregnant.

As a result, the rumor that the Potions textbook could spread viruses spread like wildfire throughout the school.

Many students have already started to spontaneously burn their textbooks.

There's a reason why the students were gagging.

The twins' quick-fix skipping candy has been widely used by the young wizards.

Just one pill can give you half a day of dry heaving, making you feel like you're in heaven.

There are also other self-selected symptoms such as nosebleeds, blisters, redness and swelling, fever, etc., which can be arranged and combined at will, so that the reasons for sick leave are never the same.

This aversion to learning has also spread to other subjects.

For example, herbal medicine class.

However, Professor Sprout was prepared and placed a bucket of fresh cow dung in the greenhouse.

She claimed that Indian shamans discovered that cow dung could replace bezoar to treat various poisons, and that students feeling nauseous could try a little as appropriate.

Then the young wizards discovered that cow dung was indeed a magical material; they didn't even need to taste it, just a whiff of it was enough to cure everyone's illnesses immediately.

What made everyone happiest was the magical animal protection class.

Levin and his roommates crunched through the snow as they made their way to the Black Lake.

This was the first time that a large crowd had already gathered near Hagrid's classroom before class even started, and the towering Hagrid still stood out from the crowd.

When Levin and the others curiously squeezed into the crowd, they discovered that Hagrid was also leading a small unicorn.

Thank goodness, he finally stopped taking out his unfortunate fried snails.

Hagrid has indeed changed a lot since the Christmas ball.
