On the eighth floor of Hogwarts Castle, on the walls of the former headmasters, there are portraits of the headmasters—

The sound of chirping sounded from time to time.

A witch with long silver curls asked, "Phineas, are you sure Albus will join us soon......?"

Another yellow-faced wizard with short black bangs also added: "Yes, will it be the same as last time, and finally make a fuss!"

"Surely not, I can swear!" Principal Phineas Black said solemnly, touching his skull, which had little hair left, "In that room where I had to answer the need, I saw with my own eyes that Albus sacrificed his own life to save the girl......"

"Hey!" Headmistress Dalys-Derwent sighed and lowered her head, as if in silent mourning for the "departed" Headmaster Albus Dumbledore.

"And then?" asked Principal Chris Evra, still looking a little incredulous.

"Later...... Jon left the room with Albus' body in his arms...... I can't see anything, and there's nothing I can do!" Phineas shook his head and said, "So I don't know either...... But you can't be resurrected from death, can you?"

The entire principal's office suddenly fell silent.

So the Headmaster, regardless of age or birth, bowed his head and observed a moment of silence for the "departed" Headmaster Albus Dumbledore.

"It doesn't have to be so heavy!" Phineas continued, "That's how living people should be, and we should be happy for us, and welcome Albus to join us!"

"Yes!" Principal Armando Dippert echoed and nodded, "If you want to paint a portrait of Albus, I suggest Violetta Bulströd from Essex......; Provided, of course, that Violetta is still alive. ”

As he spoke, Principal Dippet coughed a few times weakly: "Why don't I go find her now!"

Before he could finish speaking, Principal Armando Duppet disappeared.

"There's a vacant seat below me!" said the usually taciturn Headmaster Felida Spoh, a witch with high buns, "A portrait of Albus can be hung here......"

"Wait for Jon to arrange it. Dresses-Derwent had stopped her mourning and looked up: "If Albus is really gone...... Now that he's the Headmaster of Hogwarts, we should all follow his orders!"

As soon as Dai Lisi's words fell, there was a sound of footsteps outside the principal's office.

"Oh, he's coming!" said Phineas, with some excitement.

......

Headmaster Albus Dumbledore walked to the hallway on the eighth floor.

It took him a bit of effort to find a reason to prevaricate and ask Daphne Greengrass to ask.

Along the way, he encountered a lot of teachers and students, so much so that Dumbledore had to respond to their greetings one by one...... He suddenly understood why Albus Dumbledore in the past rarely walked around the castle, and usually used Fawkes to apparage......

finally walked to the "extremely ugly" stone beast.

Just as Dumbledore was about to walk through it and into the Headmaster's office.

The stone monster suddenly lowered its head and gently grabbed the collar of his purple suit.

Glancing at the stone monster, Dumbledore was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "You mean you need a new password, right...... Let me think about ......"

Dumbledore paced beside the stone monster for a moment, muttering to himself:

"First of all, you have to meet the personality...... So what's the best thing to use...... It's simply ......."

"Syrup!" he began, "yes, let's use 'syrup!'"

As he spoke, he reached out and touched the stone monster's head.

The stone monster nodded busily...... In the meantime, Dumbledore had already walked through it and walked up the automatic staircase at the back.

......

As he pushed open the sphin-shaped brass knocker and stepped into the gleaming oak door.

The principal's office, which had been a little noisy just now, became quiet for a moment.

But as Albus Dumbledore walked in step by step......

"Whew!" Phineas Black let out a strange cry as if he had been bitten by something.

All the principals and principals looked at him in disbelief.

"What's wrong?" Dumbledore glanced at the headmistresses with some curiosity, "Is there something wrong?"

"Albus, it's great that you're still alive!" Principal Chris Evra said with an excited expression as he reached out and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Stupid Phineas ......" Principal Elizabeth Bock snorted coldly, "I knew he was unreliable...... The dog can't spit out ivory ......"

"I ...... I...... I ......" Phineas Black looked a little speechless: "It can't be...... I saw it with my own eyes...... Wait......"

"You're still quibbling!" Philida Spoh yelled angrily as she turned to him as her hand reached for the wand at her waist.

Phineas looked aggrieved, he seemed to think of something......

He looked at Albus Dumbledore and shouted, "Jon...... Did you deliberately disguise yourself as Albus?"

......

"You've found out all this?" The gray-haired old wizard began to change little by little, and soon changed back to the appearance of a young man with black hair and gray eyes.

"Hmph, I don't know you yet!" Phineas said with some triumph, while provocatively glancing at Philida Spor and Elizabeth Bock, who had just glared at him angrily,

"But...... Professor Dumbledore isn't dead yet!" Jon said casually as he walked down the headmaster's comfortable bench.

"Huh?" Phineas's face changed suddenly, "But I clearly saw ......"

"What you see isn't necessarily real!" Jon waved at him.

"So...... Albus is still alive, so he ...... now," Principal Dalyse Devwent also shouted with some surprise.

"Professor Dumbledore is on a walk-and-go trip...... Jon shrugged his shoulders, "Now this mess is left to me!"

That is to say...... Albus's portrait won't be here again anytime soon?" Principal Philippa Spoh said with some disappointment.

"Of course!" Jon nodded without thinking.

In the midst of the discussion in the principal's office, Principal Armandor Duppet also returned to his portrait.

"Oh, Jon, you're here!" Dippet said as he coughed, "Unfortunately, Violetta Bulstrrode has passed away...... But her niece, Christabel Bulstrod, is still alive, and it is said that Miss Bulstrode is no weaker than her aunt's painting skills......"

"???," Jon looked at Principal Dippert with a bewildered expression.

"I've already negotiated with Miss Bulstrrod, the original price was 20 Galleons, and since I'm a regular customer, I bargained for 15 ......Galleons," Headmistress Dippet continued, "She's leaving for Hogwarts in an hour!"
