Chapter 170: Dumbledore: How About You Go Into Confinement? Blake: Believe It Or Not, I Rebelled!(1)
"It's just that he just said that he would agree to my request."
Dumbledore understood right away.
Blake, in order to make his plan come true had been with Quirrell pretending to be false and submissive. Trying to gain his trust.
It was just that now, it seemed that it was no longer easy to procrastinate. Blake had to be allowed to learn black magic from Quirrell.
But this was not what Dumbledore wanted to see. He still needed a little time to prepare himself.
"Or... you just let me go ahead and learn dark magic from him.'
Seeing Dumbledore's silence, Blake said. Dumbledore shook his head.
"No."
"Dark magic is dangerous, and it's better not to use it. But you'd be better knowing something about the Dark Arts, too."
"So I will teach you personally in the future. But... you must never learn the Dark Arts from him."
"Besides, it is still too early for you to learn black magic."
Blake looked at Dumbledore in surprise.
'He actually wanted to teach me dark magic? Shouldn't the dark arts be his abhorrence?'
Dumbledore glanced at Blake, and added,
"Remember, I can only teach you what you need to learn."
"Others...I mean, whoever is going to teach you that stuff, might take advantage and teach you what might be dangerous for you."
"This is serious business. I hope you will promise me not to do so."
Blake understood what Dumbledore meant. Apart from Voldemort, if Grindelwald wanted to teach him dark magic, it wouldn't be allowed!
Only Dumbledore could teach it to him!
This was actually the inspiration that Dumbledore had just gotten today.
'If that bastard Grindelwald was around, I am sure Blake would already be a dark wizard in the future.'
'It's useless for me to defend my stance on this. No matter how strict I am, it is better I teach him myself!'
'In this way, everything can still be under my control. If I let people like Voldemort and Grindelwald teach Blake. Who knows what method they will use?'
'They could even catch an innocent person and let Blake practice dark magic on them! Those two people are not good people!'
Blake put down the empty glass.
"Then what do I do?"
"If I'm not wrong, he will look for me tonight."
Just as they planned, at eight o'clock every night, Quirrell was teaching Blake duelling skills.
Presumably, he also wanted to use this time to teach Blake the dark arts in the future. And through that lure him into darkness. That was the last thing Dumbledore wanted.
Of course, this was something Dumbledore couldn't wait to guard against. But he didn't expect Blake to gain Voldemort's trust so quickly.
'Do they really have similarities?'
Dumbledore was silent for a while.
"You Injured a lot of your classmates, Blake."
"ah?"
"You've disgraced all of Slytherin."
"Ah... what are you doing?"
"I'm going to put you in detention, just for a month," said Dumbledore.
Blake was dumbfounded,
"Why don't you think about it again."
"Blake, as long as you're in detention every night. Then you won't have time to learn the dark arts from him."
Blake scratched his head, dismayed.
"That might work... but..."
Dumbledore suddenly smiled.
"Each night at 8 o'clock, you will go to Hagrid for detention... the location will be the Forbidden Forest!'
'Hiss... is there such a good thing?'
Blake was pleasantly surprised. Dumbledore said helplessly,
"I don't really want to punish you."
"But... You sneaked out to play in the Forbidden Forest, do you really think I don't know?"
Blake was taken aback.
'Did Newt sell me?'
'I thought he was a good guy, I didn't expect you, Newt, to have thick eyebrows and big eyes, and your words don't count!'
Newt certainly didn't betray Blake. After all, he didn't know about Blake's relationship with Dumbledore either.
He felt that if he told Dumbledore about Blake. Blake will most likely be expelled.
So of course, it was impossible for him to betray his newfound brother.
Dumbledore looked at Blake strangely. He also didn't know about Blake bumping into Newt.
It was just a guess and this kid's reaction was a bit big. However, it is also normal. Who, when caught doing bad things when he was a child, didn't lie?
Dumbledore thought about ways he could cover his tracks. So he pointed to Blake's shoes.
"Next time remember to clean your shoes when you come back from a stroll inside."
Blake looked down and glanced at his shoes. Sure enough, there was still mud on the edge of the shoe... Where did mud come from in the castle?
Blake also knew at this time that he was wrong to blame Newt.
But of course, he wouldn't be so stupid as to tell Dumbledore about Newt.
"Would you believe me when I say that I was helping Hagrid farm the fields on weekends?"
"It's Friday, Blake, last weekend was four or five days ago... there's no such fresh mud.
"And didn't you release your Bear? It would be impossible to visit it on the fields" Dumbledore said flatly.
Blake secretly decided that he must remember to clean his shoes next time.
Dumbledore already knew Blake's character. It was impossible for him to tell Blake not to go to the Forbidden Forest.
Just like Newt, when they were still kids, they just loved Fantastic Beasts too much.
And the magical animals in the Forbidden Forest are the most dangerous. In that case, he let Hagrid take Blake with him.
At least it was much safer than sneaking into the Forbidden Forest by himself.
The first club activity of the Dueling Club ended successfully that day. Apart from the Slytherins, everyone else was content and elated.
Of course, after hearing that Blake had been placed in detention. The Slytherins laughed too.
For Blake was placed in solitary confinement. In fact, many people expressed their incomprehension.
After all, it had always been the Slytherin guys who wanted to mess things up, to challenge Blake.
In the end, he was injured because of the other party's provocation. But he himself was still punished.
How can there be such an outrageous thing? Professor Sprout ran into Dumbledore's office that day.
As for Quirrell, after hearing the news, he smiled directly.
'Dumbledore was so unfair. Wasn't this an opportunity to win over Blake?'
This was like giving him a pillow when he was sleepy!
Although this month's plan to win over Blake was also affected, it was all worth it.
After this one time, Blake must be dissatisfied with Dumbledore. At that time, he wouldn't have to do much to convince Blake.
After the punishment notice was issued. Even Snape wondered if he had heard it wrong. That old Dumbledore would punish Blake for this? How could he be willing?
"Oh! This must be a conspiracy!"
But he was too lazy to deal with it.
Anyway, Blake's confinement was a good thing for the Slytherins. At least both sides have suffered, and the Slytherins will feel a little more heard.
Otherwise, they would still continue to target Blake.
Blake's friends also protested to Dumbledore. But there was no follow-up.
Even Professor Sprout quietly left the principal's office not long after.
Blake also had no idea how Dumbledore had managed to appease the Hufflepuff dean.
