These are the weaknesses that Grindelwald and Riddle see, but in Dumbledore's view, they are often the most powerful support against the dark side of magic.
"Very well, it seems you don't know much about the magical world, but you actually understand the common ways of wizards."
Dumbledore nodded approvingly, the corner of his lips slightly curved, a bit mischievous in his eyes, the wand in his hand slowly pointed forward, and he said nonchalantly.
"If I say I'm about to cast the memory charm now, do you think you can resist it? Come and try to stop me."
Although the expression seemed casual, in reality, Dumbledore's magical power had been mobilized, ready to respond to Elena's various reactions.
His gaze was fixed on the face of the chimeric mixed breed, very curious, to see how Elena would react to such strong pressure.
.....
Elena raised her head and met the tip of Dumbledore's wand with her gaze, swallowing hard.
She opened her mouth weakly and suddenly realized sadly that, no matter how ingenious or eloquent she was, she needed to assume that the other party wouldn't use violence to change the rules of the game.
In a sense, some of her previous actions seemed reckless. For extremely powerful wizards, the terms of the magical world might not apply, they could do as they pleased...
Suddenly, a phrase came to Elena's mind, [Only magic can defeat magic].
When the wizard is unreasonable, some of the current means of Muggles, such as money, firearms, and mathematics, are useless.
"Please, dear Professor Dumbledore."
Elena looked at Dumbledore in silence, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath, hiding her left hand behind her, her voice calm and daunting.
Dumbledore raised his eyebrows, his wand pointing at Elena, with a slight tremor in Lori's gaze.
Peng!
A brilliant and beautiful bouquet sprang from the end of the wand.
"Don't worry, the time when the Memory Charm was imposed on all Muggles has long passed. You wouldn't think I would actually dare to ignore the Ministry's orders."
Dumbledore humorously shrugged, shook his head, and approached, explaining with a smile.
"Since 1945, the Ministry of Magic has reviewed the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy. If one of the parents, spouse, or children is a wizard, their relatives will not be included in the need for confidentiality. As your guardian, Mr. Beni Tees is naturally not in the category that needs to be kept secret," said Dumbledore, slowly reaching out, intending to pat the head of the stubborn girl, a large, thick hand intervened in front of Dumbledore.
"Getting too close to a child's head can make it grow stunted, and she just washed her hair last night."
Benitez reached out and pulled Elena to his side, nodded politely, and asked the house-elf.
"So, if you will allow me, Mr. Burley, how long does it take for Hogwarts breakfast to be ready? The children will wake up in half an hour."
"Call me Burleigh, the breakfast is ready."
Burleigh elegantly bowed, lifted his long fingers, and made a sharp snap.
The wooden table in the restaurant next to the kitchen was instantly covered with a white tablecloth, and ceramic plates filled with food appeared on the table in order.
Milk, tea, coffee, pumpkin juice, orange juice, oatmeal, cereal, sugar, salt, butter, cornflakes, toast, bread, various kinds of jams, ketchup, mayonnaise, fried eggs, pickled herring, ham, bacon, grilled sausages, smoked fish, cured salmon, and fried tomatoes...
The modest restaurant in the entire orphanage seemed to turn into a mini version of the Hogwarts dining hall in the blink of an eye.
"Thank you, Burleigh."
Dumbledore nodded with a smile.
"It is an honor to serve Mr. Dumbledore, and I hope everyone has an enjoyable meal."
Burleigh said courteously, bowed deeply again, snapped his fingers, and disappeared into thin air with a snap.
