And, in the end, it was just for such an old wand.
Is it worth it if the logic slips to become an enemy of the whole world?
Cassandra craves power.
But power is not her ultimate goal.
A free and easy life is what Cassandra desires.
Dumbledore quietly watched the change in Cassandra's face, and now he was completely sure.
Cassandra knows the Elder Wand's secret.
Although he was very curious about where Cassandra knew so many secrets, now he was even more curious about what choice she would make in the face of the temptation of the Elder Wand.
Even if Cassandra did take the Elder Wand, Dumbledore would not regret it.
After all, the Elder Wand is just a wand, and it is impossible to make a wizard invincible forever with one more wand.
Otherwise, why have people who have owned the Elder Wand from ancient times to the present almost never died well?
If you can use an Elder Wand, you can completely determine how he and Cassandra should get along with each other.
From Dumbledore's point of view, it was very worthwhile.
After all, Dumbledore believes that Cassandra will not be the next Tom Riddle.
Finally, after 3 minutes of hesitation.
Cassandra handed Dumbledore the Elder Wand.
Dumbledore laughed heartily, his eyes narrowed.
The Elder Wand was back in his hand, and it felt different, which meant that the Elder Wand no longer considered Dumbledore its master.
Although the Elder Wand will still be a fairly powerful wand, without that tyrannical bonus effect, Dumbledore's strength will be weakened a lot.
But so what?
He can trust Cassandra completely, and this is the best harvest.
There was a wise light in those blue eyes, and Cassandra naturally saw it too.
For a moment, Cassandra realized that Dumbledore understood the purpose of what she had just done, and the wavering in her heart just now.
If it was Cassandra in the past, she might have a guilty conscience and wanted to hide, and she didn't want Dumbledore to find out what she was thinking.
But now, Cassandra is more confident.
The equality between her and Dumbledore is no longer Cassandra's wishful thinking, but an objective reality.
So Cassandra laughed too.
The emerald green eyes and the blue eyes looked at each other, and some secrets were hidden in this smile.
"I always feel that you seem to have reached a deal?"
Newt said, "I always feel like you guys suddenly talked about a lot of things I don't know?"
"Professor, if you want to know, I can tell you."
Cassandra's tone was light and her mood improved a lot.
Dumbledore is no longer a mountain on her head, and she doesn't need to worry that the White Devil will become her enemy one day.
From then on, Dumbledore was just a retired old man.
"No, don't tell me, I don't want to know anything about you!"
Newt raised his hand and quickly refused.
He's just a Hufflepuff who doesn't like adventure and intrigue.
You are a Gryffindor, a Slytherin, fight if you want.
Don't take him in as a Hufflepuff who just wants to watch Fantastic Beasts cook!
"it's a pity."
Cassandra tilted her head and smiled, and said, "You really don't plan to come back, even if you go back to Hogwarts as a guest to rest for a while?"
Dumbledore suddenly put away his smile: "Because I'm worried, you might not welcome me again after I finished speaking?"
When Cassandra heard this, the smile on her face disappeared.
"I don't want to hear the name Harry Potter."
Dumbledore sighed: "Then let's start with the book I gave you, remember it?"
"The Importance of Being Earnest?"
"That boring comedy novel?"
169 2/3 Dumbledore's Condition
"No fun?"
Dumbledore's eyes widened, looking very hurt: "I thought he would be very interesting, after all, he is a Muggle work, and it is a famous Muggle work."
"The Importance of Being Earnest", can be translated as not child's play.
It is a satirical comedy of manners written by the Irish playwright Oscar Wilde in the 19th century. It can indeed be said to be a famous work of a famous writer.
The only problem is, that's over 90 years old.
For Cassandra, in the wizarding world and in the era before the Internet, it is really impossible to understand the ins and outs of the author of this book in detail.
Most importantly, the content of this book is not new to Cassandra.
The story tells the story of the two protagonists, in order to escape the existing social relationship, they fabricated another identity in another city.
When the pressure is too high, they will go to that city and pretend to be someone they made up, and then live a completely different life of indulgence.
Then, in the transformation of true and false identities, a series of stories that are full of irony and laughter but finally reunion are triggered.
If you want to say something ironic, it is probably that people always show false morals and living conditions for certain interests.
When these false pretense are exposed, the seemingly unattainable people can also show their comical side.
"So, did you send me this book to tell me not to live too falsely, or to tell me that the life of a pure-blood family is hypocritical?"
Cassandra asked Dumbledore back, without the suppression of strength and the disparity in status.
After even paying lip service to her, her attitude towards Dumbledore became much more real.
Dumbledore also noticed this, and immediately adapted to this way of getting along.
"How is it possible? You are more sincere than Lucius and the others in my eyes. How could I give you a gift that satirizes you at Christmas?"
"It's not a good habit to speak ill of my father behind his back, Dumbledore."
"No way, he is really not a good person in my eyes."
Cassandra curled her lips, which she really couldn't refute.
But she kept a straight face, indicating that she could not continue to speak ill of Lucius.
The face of the family must be maintained after all.
"I'm sorry, I thought you could find out, the protagonist of that book is very similar to Harry, isn't it?" Dumbledore continued.
"Even though he is only one person, he has two identities. When his identities are exposed, he will become embarrassed."
Dumbledore's tone seemed to become somewhat complacent, as if as a Miyun native, he was very successful.
Cassandra's face darkened visibly: "So you discovered Harry Potter's abnormality at that time?"
"It's been three months now, and you didn't control him in any way?"
"How arrogant you are, Dumbledore! Do you know how many people you almost killed?"
"Also, you have to recommend some modern books, such as "Double Personality"!"
Dumbledore was speechless, and some of the pride in his tone disappeared.
Instead, in a slightly aggrieved voice, "Harry has been fighting him, and I thought he was almost going to succeed."
"If Harry can fight against that guy's existence, I think that's the most important growth for him."
"But the price of his growth is that Luna and more Hogwarts students almost died! Dumbledore, can you afford this responsibility?"
Dumbledore was silent for a few seconds before saying, "I thought I could control it."
Cassandra was furious.
I really want to snatch back the Elder Wand and insert it into Dumbledore's mind, so that this guy can wake up.
Why do such people exist?
Do you feel that you can control everything by yourself, even if there is danger, you can easily suppress it?
Uh……
Cassandra suddenly felt that this character looked familiar?
No, it's still different.
How could she be like Dumbledore?
The biggest difference between the two of them is that Cassandra is extremely disgusted with unknown risks, and wants to completely crush the risks in the invisible.
But Dumbledore does not reject risks, and sometimes even despises risks, ready to gain greater benefits from risks at any time.
...isn't that the difference between Slytherin and Gryffindor?
Sure enough, Slytherin's dislike of Gryffindor is natural, and it is not so easy to change.
If Dumbledore does not bow his head, it is estimated that Cassandra and him will continue to fight.
"You failed in the end, Dumbledore."
"Mr. Potter has become Voldemort's puppet, a Death Eater who used the Death Curse to kill people at the age of 13. He almost let the basilisk kill a college student."
"Do you want to tell me that even so, you still want to protect him and want to make him innocent?"
Dumbledore's face also became serious: "Actually, we all know, Madam Headmaster, that Harry's own soul is still clean."
