Chapter 32: Cole Is Considering Whether To Go To Hogwarts
Cole stared blankly at the five letters in his hand, a bit confused. Logically, something expected to arrive only next year had unexpectedly appeared this year. In fact, Cole knew that after Harry Potter returned to the wizarding world, Hogwarts would be unstable in the following years. For the safety of his children, Cole was ready to send Martin and the others to Durmstrang. Although, in England, Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has a bad reputation as a place where dark wizards often emerge, Cole understood that becoming a dark wizard depends on one's character. Power is neither inherently good nor bad.
No matter how kind a person is, they will retaliate when pushed. Durmstrang College is one of the three largest wizarding schools in Europe (the other two being Hogwarts and Beauxbatons). The school is in the far north of the European continent and welcomes international students, even from as far away as Bulgaria. Durmstrang does not admit Muggle-born students. If it weren't for the fact that most of the British pure-blood wizards come from Hogwarts, families like the Malfoys would prefer to send their children there. The principal, Igor Karkaroff, is also a top master of black magic. In terms of black magic accomplishments, this wizard is on par with Dumbledore.
The world views Dumbledore as the most famous white wizard of the contemporary era, but few know that Dumbledore has also made great strides in black magic. After all, Dumbledore and Grindelwald were friends when they were young and studied dark magic together. However, due to an accident, they parted ways, and Dumbledore abandoned his research on dark magic. In fact, Durmstrang is a co-ed school like Hogwarts and Beauxbatons, and its founder is a witch. Darlene and Alice can also go to Durmstrang. With Martin and the others looking after them, no one would dare to bully them.
It was just the sudden acceptance letter that disrupted Cole's plan, and Cole couldn't help but wonder if this was Dumbledore's scheme. He feared that Dumbledore wanted to use his Black family members as a pathway to the 'savior.' Don't underestimate Dumbledore's scheming; Cole knew that Dumbledore was responsible for forming the future Gryffindor trio—the savior Harry Potter, the clever girl Hermione, and the eccentric Ronald. This is the team Dumbledore prepared for Harry. In fact, Harry didn't show much talent when he first entered the wizarding world. He even made several blunders in Gryffindor due to his low self-esteem.
The name of the savior is something that the incoming wizards this semester have known since childhood. Naturally, they had high expectations for Harry, but with further interaction, many young wizards were disappointed with this savior. Not only was he not talented in magic, but he was also a troublemaker. Without Dumbledore's support, Harry's school life would certainly have been difficult. Hermione Granger, born in the Muggle world, possesses exceptional learning abilities. She is the brains of the trio and can also be described as the nanny for Harry and Ronald. Some of the things these two had done before were not very intelligent. Ronald Weasley was born into the pure-blood Weasley family. The Weasley family is a prominent name in the wizarding world, not for any other reason but because they have many children. Seven children are enough to surpass other pure-blood nobles. The most crucial thing is that the Weasley children are very talented and are all considered gifted.
In Cole's memory, Ronald was not bad at all. It was because his brothers were so good that he had some low self-esteem since he was a child, so he never showed his talent. The only drawback is that Ronald doesn't seem very smart and always misses the mark at critical moments. Thinking back to what would happen to Harry in his first year at Hogwarts, Cole couldn't remember some details because it had been too long.
But there is no big danger. Senior Tom possessed Quirrell just to get the Philosopher's Stone. In addition, he released the trolls into Hogwarts and killed a few unicorns. Creatures like trolls are thick-skinned and extremely powerful. They are indeed a threat to little wizards. Even if there are too many, an adult wizard cannot take them down. If Martin and other children go to Hogwarts, he still has to be careful.
Cole is not worried either. After all, the magical power of these little guys is far higher than that of their peers. Cole is not good at teaching, and his own strength comes from krypton gold. But Mela is an orthodox mage and has received systematic education since childhood. Although the system is different from that of this world, the principles are the same.
Martin has shown good control ability since the magic riot, and Meera has been training Martin since he was sensible. Cole has no prejudice against black magic and can accept it as long as it is power. This also leads to Martin not only having extraordinary magic power but also a lot of black magic. It's really easy to deal with a brainless troll.
As for Jerome, Cole knew that his son had been lazy since he was a child, but he couldn't resist his high talent. With scattered studies, Cole didn't need to worry about his strength. Not to mention Ban Na, who has suppressed the magic power since he was a child and has a strong thirst for knowledge. His progress can be said to be rapid.
The two daughters are Cole's little cotton-padded jackets. Not to mention other things, the magic props they carry are enough for them to protect themselves. Cole thought about it and suddenly realized that he didn't have to worry too much about the children getting hurt when they went to Hogwarts. In addition, Dumbledore was still at Hogwarts. Although Dumbledore had selfish motives, he would not tolerate anything happening to his students in school.
In addition, in the early stage, Senior Tom's attention will be on the savior Harry, so Cole doesn't have to worry. Thinking of this, Cole realized it was okay for a few children to go to Hogwarts. Hogwarts was still close to home, and if anything happened, Cole could handle it in time. Cole lay on the sofa and relaxed.
The only worry now is whether Dumbledore will involve the Black family. The current Black family is not from Sirius's time. At the time of Sirius, there were only a few members of the Black family. Sirius did not like to deal with family affairs and wasted the family business. And no wizard wanted to follow.
But now the Black family not only has Cole in charge but also Wright as a butler to help, and his team of wizards are stationed at Black Manor and Knockturn Alley all year round. The Black family is also present in the Ministry of Magic, and John's team is also a mainstay in the Auror Department. In a few years, Cole will even be able to promote John to the position of director of the Auror Department.
There are dozens of adult wizards in the Black family, all of whom have extraordinary fighting prowess. In the eyes of pure-blood families, the current Black family is an existence that cannot be easily provoked.
