The attack on Hogwarts was provoked by Voldemort, but why did he attack Hogwarts? It wasn't because he felt threatened and decided to deal with Riddle's henchman.

But he failed, at least from the point of view of the goal he had set in the first place.

Send henchmen to infiltrate Hogwarts, and with the personnel in place, Voldemort will take the lead and lure out Dumbledore to create time and opportunity for these infiltrators...... The infiltration was successful, but as soon as he stepped out of the Room of Requirement, he immediately failed, so that Voldemort, who did not get the signal, could not make a move, because even if he fought Dumbledore, it was for nothing, and his purpose was to get his men to bring back the diary.

If Voldemort didn't do it, Dumbledore naturally wouldn't choose to do it, he needed to guard against Voldemort's means. Originally, in this case, the two sides relied on their own means, but Solim intervened in the middle and directly reimbursed the group of Death Eaters who had just entered Hogwarts - although Evans was reimbursed for more than half of the "sky and earth", but in general, it still had to be counted on Solim's head.

According to Solim's original idea, he would have wished that Voldemort had taken Riddle away, and maybe he would have secretly contributed to it, but after Ogle and Solim met, things were completely different. Solim even had to help Riddle, lest the rare specimen of "him" be taken away by Voldemort, which was related to Ogle becoming an immortal wizard, and Solim, a cheap son, naturally had to be concerned. In front of him stood two men, one Elrond and the other Ogle. Before he was able to do it on his own, Solim needed these two umbrellas to protect him from the elements.

Dumbledore had apparently come to some agreement with Ogle, and Solim was sure of that. It was clear from Dumbledore's words that Ogle had said something about his plans. Dumbledore was not a pure-blood champion, and that alone was enough to give Ogle the idea of wooing Dumbledore.

Ogle had disappeared from Dumbledore's office, and Solim didn't believe he would turn around and go back with his two werewolf brothers. If his cheap boy didn't go to see Voldemort, Solim would have plucked off his head and used it as a flying ball.

Voldemort didn't show up from beginning to end, even if it was to attract Dumbledore's attention, he should have shown up, to attract a wave of attention, but he didn't. If it weren't for the little twist and turn, Solim wouldn't believe it.

However, there were some things that Solim couldn't ask Dumbledore, so he could only hold back and look back for an opportunity to ask his father.

"I'm a little curious - your injuries shouldn't be too difficult for the Selwyns to deal with......" Dumbled nodded to Solim's left hand, "but you still chose this kind of hidden problem, do you have any ideas?"

Idea...... Solim thought of the family's long-standing style, as well as Elrond's intentional or unintentional mention some time ago, he didn't have time to think about these things during this time, but as long as he mentioned it, he would soon be able to figure it out.

"Hmph," pursed his lips, and Solim said helplessly, "What's so hard to guess about this? It's just the same old - black magic, black magic, black magic, black magic......"

Dumbledore looked at Solim, "Speaking of which, we don't seem to have talked about the dark arts, right?"

"Do Horcruxes count?" asked Solim.

“...... You're not your average student, Solim, and your horizons are much broader than theirs, so you know more about the dark arts than they do. And because of your origins, you're going to inevitably be exposed to the dark arts, have you figured out how to do it?"

"A lot of people are either afraid of the dark arts like snakes and scorpions, or they are desperate to learn about the dark arts. "But these are all wrong. Headmaster, you should be well aware that a wizard who wants to go further down the path of magic cannot avoid the dark arts, whether it is just studying its theories or using some of the less influential dark arts to a limited extent...... These are only superficial and cannot penetrate into the roots of black magic. "

"If it's an average person, that's enough. This kind of 'superficial taste' is enough for them to deal with some of the threats of the dark arts. "

Solim tapped the armrest with his left hand.

"But I can't, the opponents and threats I'll face in the future are not Death Eaters' levels of dark magic, but something much darker and more distorted. I don't want to be stuck in this future because I haven't studied the dark arts well enough...... It is enough to plant once, and some heels either don't plant, and once planted, they will never have a chance to get up again. "

"Looks like you're quite conscious. Dumbledore paused for a moment, "Would you like to hear some advice from me, a 'man from the past'?"

"Listen up. Solim straightened his back.

"There are some magic that should not be used and some things that should not be studied in depth...... When it comes to dark arts, never overestimate your self-control, and never overestimate your ability to control human nature. "

Dumbledore's words were rather bluffing, but Solim knew exactly what he was talking about.

Black magic is actually quite "human".

When you have negative emotions in your heart, the best thing to do is to vent them, and it is easy to have an accident after holding it for a long time - which is quite easy to understand. However, once you get used to this "venting", it will get out of hand. You can't take a wrong step in the dark arts, you can't cross the line – not a single toe.

Once the control of your emotions is lost, it is difficult to recover. It's like a weight on a scale, once one side bottoms out, you need to pay more weight if you want to return to balance again. But did the wizards at that time still have positive emotions in their hearts? Once the wizard's heart was filled with negative emotions and he was used to "venting", it was almost impossible to balance with positive emotions and regain his senses.

There are not a few wizards who study black magic, but they don't hold it, and then run all the way to the abyss. Dumbledore's fears were well-founded—even himself. Back then, he was already standing on the edge of the abyss, if it weren't for his sister's business, maybe the "White Wizard" would have become a "Black Wizard".

Can Solim hold it? No one knows, not even himself. Dumbledore was obviously a little worried, otherwise he wouldn't have talked to Solim specifically about the Dark Arts.

But he had to study the dark arts. Look at his opponents, those families that have been inherited for thousands of years, which one is not based on black magic? If you are right in the future, and someone else comes to you with black magic, you don't even know what it is, how can you fight it? You can't hide behind your grandfather and father forever, right?

The reality is so, the truth is so. Even if Solim didn't want to, he had to pinch his nose and study the dark arts, otherwise it would be a sure thing for him to die under the dark magic of others.
