Hogwarts and the Atypical Wizard

Chapter 416 Old Deng persuades someone to be more generous

Sainz was so obsessed with studying the Dementors' soul extraction technology that in the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

That day, Old Deng came to visit suddenly.

"Long time no see, professor. You seem to be away from school quite often recently," Sainz summoned a sofa to him, "Do you need me to provide you with mead? ...By the way, drinking alcohol during school hours... Uh... What am I thinking about? This is Hogwarts, and you are the headmaster."

"It's not easy to see you, Sainz." Dumbledore sat down on the sofa. "I came to your office twice, but didn't see you. Even when I sent you a message, you didn't respond."

"I deliberately added more honey." Sainz served Dumbledore the mead that was almost half honey. "Try it. I think it's the flavor you like."

"Thank you, I'm the only one drinking?"

"Oh~ I'll keep you company with tea." Saiens didn't go back to his desk, but sat in the guest seat with Old Deng. "You looked for me twice but I wasn't there? Then I should be in the room where you can get what you want. It's quieter there."

"I see," Dumbledore took a sip of the drink in the glass, squinted his eyes and nodded with satisfaction.

"Professor, what is the matter that you keep looking for me for?" Sainz guessed, "Yes, but it's not particularly important."

"It's really not a big deal," Dumbledore said, his deep eyes behind his glasses flashing with light. "Saince, sometimes some people, especially those who are not so mature, may make mistakes. I hope... people can give them one more chance... Some people are worthy, and all they lack is people's tolerance."

Sainz was somewhat puzzled. Old Deng would not have nothing better to do than to come and say some irrelevant words. Why did he suddenly come here to promote his philosophy of life? Was he here to advise Sainz to be more magnanimous? Has anyone offended him?

As his thoughts turned, he suddenly felt something in his heart: Could it be that Old Deng came for Crabbe and Malfoy?

One month after the start of school, Sainz had felt the hateful looks from Crabbe and Malfoy many times, including at the opening banquet, when the two men often cast hateful glances at the faculty and staff table. With old Dumbledore's keen sense, it was natural that he could not have failed to sense it.

With speculation in mind, Sainz did not respond directly, "Give him another chance! Many people admire you for this, including me."

Old Deng held the cup with a smile on his face. "I am very grateful... but many people also think that I am old and confused."

"That's because they don't understand your mind," Sainz offered a little flattery, then changed the subject, "Besides, I never thought you would be so pedantic as to give everyone a chance. A pedantic person can't make Voldemort afraid of you and dare not show up."

"Oh! This is really shameful," Old Dumbledore took a big sip of honey wine, "Yes, some people are really not worth saving... You may think I'm a little indecisive, Sainz. People who hold great power should be wary of their arrogance and make every decision carefully. Tom is a good example. He has been completely lost in the power."

Old Deng, who possesses great strength, seldom uses his strength to overpower others. This is something Sainz admires very much and he respects him very much.

It is remarkable to have power but not be superstitious about it, and not to try to solve everything with force.

This is to persuade someone not to use force to solve problems.

Sainz had no objection to this. If Old Dumbledore was like Old Volt, and was used to using force to suppress all disobedience and make everything run according to his own ideas, it would be hard to say whether Sainz would be able to stand here now.

Sai has benefited from this model and is willing to maintain it.

Just now, old Dumbledore implicitly advised him to be magnanimous. He first agreed with his point of view, and then pointed out the bad consequences of his casually giving people opportunities - Voldemort, so old Dumbledore said he was ashamed. However, old Dumbledore still advised him to use his power well, and in turn advised him to learn from Voldemort.

Sainz said seriously: "His pursuit is off the track, maybe his soul is too empty."

"Oh? Why do you say that?" Old Deng became interested. "I think he definitely doesn't want to hear such an evaluation."

"It's just my personal feeling, professor. There are so few people in the wizarding world and they are so scattered. We are not Muggles. We are crowded together and there is no competition between us. If I get a piece of bread, it does not mean that another person will lose a piece of bread.

In this situation, I really don’t think the power of the superiors is of any use.”

Dumbledore didn't comment after listening to this. He smiled and changed the topic to something else. "You said just now that you have been in the Room of Requirement in your free time?"

"Yeah, it's a great place to practice magic."

Old Deng asked curiously, "Do you have any new ideas that I can see?"

Sainz thought for a moment. The space base, the Thestral malicious automatic identification system, the laser long-range attack system, the light of the mind, the soul extraction technology, including the "gourmet tablecloth" which already had a rough outline, were all absolutely core technologies that he cherished.

I don't really have anything to show you what I've been working on recently, and I can't tell him that I recently forced the Dementors to kill people.

"I'm afraid I have to disappoint you. I've been busy doing nothing but producing no results. These are just some ideas."

Old Deng was not disappointed. He said with understanding, "Indeed, a brilliant idea needs time to mature."

The two chatted for a while, and after Old Deng finished the wine in his glass, he left in a hurry.

After the principal left, Sainz recalled what he said and felt that he came for Crabbe and Malfoy. Although he did not explicitly mention the names of the two, it was true that he persuaded Sainz to be more tolerant.

Perhaps from Old Deng's point of view, it was better that Sai didn't realize that he was talking about these two people. Not only did he give them advice in advance, but another situation would not occur - Sai didn't pay attention to the two people originally, but his mention of it today made Sai realize that the two people were plotting to harm Sai.

As long as Sai can think of what he said today when he encounters something, Old Deng's goal will be achieved. Even if it is not these two people, he will not lose anything.

After realizing this, Sainz smiled secretly. Although Sainz was not a person who would repay evil with kindness, he was not a petty and shady person either.

Mr. Sai is indeed the enemy who has caused unrest in the two people's homes, but he also has the identity of a Hogwarts professor. As long as the two people stick to their identities, they are still Hogwarts students in Mr. Sai's eyes.

Of course, even if they were prepared to take action against Sai, they would have to consider the severity of the situation. Sai had always been fair. If it was an ordinary prank, he would just treat it as a joke from his students. If it was intended to kill someone, hey!

Repaying resentment with virtue, why repay virtue?

Anyone who wants to take someone's life, no matter who it is, will be his mortal enemy!

When dealing with his mortal enemies, he never has the habit of "paying dividends once and then looking again"!

Others have the right to avenge their families, and Sai also has the right to avenge himself!
